Gu Zhong opened his mouth to mention lunch instead of breakfast, mainly because when he passed by Bu Yao's house just now, he smelled the fragrance of sesame paste wafting from inside.

They had eaten this thing before, and it smelled really fragrant, like many delicious things that Madame had brought out, and it was unforgettable.

The master doesn't care for the time being, his own wife, that is to treat no one badly, and he will not treat himself badly.

So Gu Zhong didn't ask directly.

Bu Yao looked down at Gu Zhong's still wet hands, one of them was still holding a few cabbage leaves, obviously helping to wash the vegetables inside.

She smiled at Gu Zhong and said, "Okay, got it." Go back and get back to your business. ”

Although they paid the rent, two taels a month, even if they ate the old Wangtou couple, it would not affect their old couple to earn a lot, but in the end, living under one roof, it is not decent to always let the two old people serve and eat, Gu Zhong and the two brothers have a job in their eyes, and it is good to take the initiative to help them.

There was still some time before lunch, so Bu Yao simply walked around the courtyard with Gao Boyi.

Lao Wang's site is indeed not small, and the number of five rooms seems to be small, but in fact, each room has a lot of space.

I heard the old Wang Tou say before, there are many children in the family, the original pattern is five, and the children gradually grow up, marrying a wife, it is not enough to live, so the two rooms in the west, the middle wall of each room is divided into two, and there are four rooms, and the easternmost room itself has the largest space, so it is simply separated into three rooms, so it is barely enough.

Later, when the grandson was born, the space at home became more crowded, and later, the sons and daughters-in-law dragged the family and moved out one after another.

When the last youngest son's family moved out, the crowded home became empty again.

After several years, the children came back less and less, and the old couple thought about it, so they simply demolished all the walls that were originally built, and restored the house to its original appearance, and even the kang was rebuilt, mainly in preparation for the day when the children came back to live.

Bu Yao was not very interested in these, and at this moment, her attention fell on the livestock shed.

The livestock shed built with wooden planks has a large space, ventilated on all sides, and is enclosed with wooden fences, which are also divided into several areas with wooden fences, and it can be seen that there is more than one kind of livestock raised here before, and the number is quite large.

At this moment, in the whole barn, only a chicken pen is enclosed in the corner of the side, in which a few chickens and ducks are raised, and the other pens are empty.

Bu Yao stared at the livestock shed and looked at it, thinking that after their house was built, they would also build such a livestock shed, and raise some cattle, sheep, pigs, and the like, preferably horses.

There is a vegetable garden in front of the livestock shed, and at a glance, it is full of Chinese cabbage, green onion seedlings and eggplant.

Bu Yao looked thoughtfully at the vegetable garden in front of him for a while, and then turned around and walked to Gu Yi's side, casually watching Gu Yi chop wood.

Gao Boyi didn't speak the whole time, let her hold her hand, and he followed her wherever she went.

Gu Yi noticed that the two masters were standing on his side and didn't leave, so he stopped his movements and subconsciously looked over, and Bu Yao said directly, "You don't care about us." ”

Since Bu Yao said this, he didn't think much about it, nodded obediently, raised the axe in his hand, and continued to concentrate on chopping wood.

He has always been a steady person, and he did not feel the slightest nervousness and discomfort because his master was staring at him, so he chopped the firewood neatly and quickly, and soon chopped the rest of the firewood.

It was just right, and lunch was ready.

Gu Zhong and Gu Yi still refused to eat at the same table with them, and Bu Yao still didn't force them, but told them to go to the stove house to eat, and the two of them responded.

The four of them were the only ones in the house to eat.

Today's lunch was simple, steamed buns, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, chicken stewed mushrooms, and rice and egg soup.

It's a pretty hearty meal.

Bu Yao and the others thanked them first, and then sat down to eat.

While eating, Bu Yao found that Lao Wangtou's gaze frequently looked at the couple.

She didn't plan to pay attention to it at first, thinking that if the other party had something, she would naturally say it, so she treated it as if she hadn't noticed.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lao Wangtou to speak, "That, Mrs. Gao......"

Bu Yao raised her head and looked at him, "Huh? Grandpa Wang, please say. ”

She had a soft smile on her face, her eyes focused and serious, and she looked completely deaf.

I don't know why, in the face of her like this, all the words of Lao Wangtou were choked in his throat, and in Bu Yao's opinion, he was a little speechless.

Bu Yao said with a smile, "Grandpa Wang, if you have anything, just say it directly." ”

The old man laughed innocently, "That's nothing, I just want to ask what you think of this meal at noon?" ”

Bu Yao intuitively felt that the other party was not telling the truth.

She smiled quietly and replied, "Very well." It's both filling and delicious. ”

Old Wang Tou smiled and nodded, "Eh, that's good, that's good." ”

After speaking, he stared thoughtfully at Bu Yao's face.

Bu Yao once again pretended not to notice and lowered her head to eat her own food.

"That, Mrs. Gao......"

Old Wang Tou spoke again, "Did you feel cold last night?" Is it cold in the middle of the night? ”

Bu Yao said, "It's a little, but the futon is very warm, enough to keep warm." ”

"It's good that it's not cold." Lao Wangtou smiled and nodded, "Actually, we didn't burn the kang so early, but this kind of thing is different from personal circumstances." Mrs. Gao, you should be more chilly, right? ”

Bu Yao nodded in agreement, "That's true." ”

The old man smiled, "In this case, I ......"

"Boom."

Before Lao Wangtou's words were finished, Lao Wang, who was sitting beside him, suddenly put the dishes and chopsticks in his hand on the table quickly.

The scene was silent.

Not to mention Bu Yao and Lao Wangtou, even Gao Boyi, who had been eating silently from the beginning, couldn't help but cast a glance at Lao Wang is attention at this time.

Lao Wang glared at Lao Wang's head fiercely, and continued to eat quietly on his face.

After that, the old man stopped talking.

A familiar scene, let Bu Yao be a little speechless.

This Grandpa Wang is afraid of guilt.

Bu Yao saw that he stopped talking, so he naturally stopped talking.

Anyway, if they have something to say, they will tell themselves sooner or later, and she will wait quietly.

A lunch, ended in silence and chewing.

After eating a lot of lunch, Bu Yao didn't have the idea of helping to clean up the dishes and chopsticks at all, and stood up and planned to take Gao Boyi out.

At this moment, Lao Wang spoke, "Mrs. Gao, if you have time, let's talk about it?" ”

Bu Yao was stunned, then curled her lips and smiled, "Okay, Grandma Wang." ”

Lao Wang's raised his foot and kicked the old man who received half of the dishes and chopsticks, and sat down again when he heard her words, "What are you doing sitting stupidly, why don't you quickly pack all these up to the stove house?" ”

The old man didn't dare to be angry or speak, nodded his head hurriedly, stood up again, put away the dishes and chopsticks with his hands and feet, and took them to the stove house.

Although Lao Wang was talking to Bu Yao, Gao Boyi did not choose to leave, and Lao Wang obviously had no opinion on this.

As a result, only the three of them were left in the main room.

Bu Yao looked at the old Wang quietly, the smile on her face was very kind, waiting for the old man to speak.

Old Wang smiled and said, "Before, I heard the old man of my family say that the two of you want to live in our house temporarily and give two taels of silver every month?" ”

Bu Yao didn't expect the other party to mention this matter, and at the same time didn't understand what needed to be talked about?

She smiled and nodded yes.

At the same time, he raised his foot and stepped on the foot of Gao Boyi next to him, and secretly cursed a loser in his heart.

No matter how much she spends money, she is not as good at spending as he is!

It's still distressing to think about.

She felt that she had used her strength, but on Gao Boyi's side, she felt that it was not painful, he glanced sideways at the woman beside him, and saw that she was looking at Lao Wang without squinting, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction on her soft and beautiful face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook.

At the same time, I was very confused in my heart, was this a joke with myself, or was I dissatisfied with myself?

If it's the latter, what is the reason for the dissatisfaction?

Men still haven't realized their loser attributes.

Old Wang smiled again, and said thoughtfully, "That's the case, I heard my old man mention it before, and he agreed, so I didn't say anything." It's just that I thought about it carefully last night, and I always felt that some of the circumstances were still unclear. ”

Unclear?

What's not clear?

Bu Yao frowned slightly, "For example?" ”

The smile on Lao Wang's face was a little embarrassed, and she said, "It stands to reason that you give two taels of silver a month, which is very sincere." ”

Bu Yao's heart sank slightly, is this not satisfied with the price?

She was not in a hurry to speak, so she continued to look at Lao Wang, waiting for her later words.

Old Wang always observed her face and found that she did not show obvious displeasure, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Then, he said, "But are these two taels of silver simply the money for renting a house, or do they include other things, such as eating, drinking, and firewood?" ”

Bu Yao now understands that people want to calculate carefully, and they will make it clear in this.

Looking at Lao Wang's embarrassed and nervous smile, Bu Yao thought, is this simply a matter of renting money, or do they have other considerations?

So, she asked, "In Grandma Wang's opinion, is it included?" ”

Bu Yao really hadn't thought about this aspect before, the reason was very simple, it was really a lot of two taels of silver a month, and they were responsible for their daily food, and they were not bad at it, not to mention that they might be responsible for themselves, and they could be richer in terms of eating.

From another point of view, if the old couple is willing to be responsible for their food, she also thinks that there is no problem, after all, two taels a month, so that she will not feel so distressed when she spends this money.

She thought clearly, both could be accepted, and yesterday she saw the old couple take the initiative to cook dinner for them, so she took the opportunity to eat.

Anyway, her choice is left to the two of them to do it themselves.

I just didn't expect people to bring this up.

It's okay to be like this, to make it clear, and to be more measured in the future, in her opinion, with proportion, there is also freedom.

Old Wang hesitated and said, "The two of us discussed it last night, and we have an idea, and I hope you two will not blame it." ”

Bu Yao smiled, "Grandma Wang, please speak." ”

Old Wang said, "That's the case, both of us are not young, a handful of age, this morning and night sleep time is not quite the same as that of young people. It's earlier than this day, and we can't sleep before dawn, and you two slept until noon. And last night, we had dinner, cleaned up the stove and went to sleep, but the two of you seemed to go to bed late? ”

Although she didn't know why there was a white light in the room between the two, Lao Wang was sure that they slept late, because she noticed that the white light was still on when she woke up at night.

"Naturally, I'm not saying who is right and who is wrong, but I just want to say that it's really different, what do you say?"

Bu Yao smiled and nodded, "Grandma Wang is right, this is indeed very different. ”

Lao Wang got her approval, and immediately smiled two points faster, and said, "That's what I want to say, you see, our time is not the same, so it's better to separate this time of dinner." Can't we eat early and let you heat the leftovers when we turn around, right? ”

In fact, if it's hot, there's nothing to do, just leave some for them in the pot.

But......

Bu Yao understood again that the old man didn't care the most about whether the two taels of silver included food and drink, what people really wanted to say was to let them be responsible for eating and using themselves.

In other words, I don't plan to have too much contact with them.

Bu Yao looked at the essence through the phenomenon and expressed the truth about herself.

Well, now that they are exiles, these good citizens are a little mindful and understandable.

Bu Yao was not angry, but nodded kindly, "I understand what Grandma Wang means, so let's do it, during the period of temporary residence in your house, we will be responsible for the food, clothing and other aspects of the four of us, and you and Grandpa Wang are also old, so don't work so hard and help us work." ”

Old Wang looked at Bu Yao with a blank eye, and when he heard her say this, his face was really happy to the naked eye, and he also showed a little sense of relief.

Immediately, she took the initiative to say, "By the way, if the two taels of silver you originally gave include these aspects, we can return this part of the money in terms of silver." ”

With these words, Rang Bu Yao affirmed his previous judgment even more, and what people care about most is not money.

She smiled, "That's not necessary, it's good to say that it's two taels, then it's two taels." ”

Old Wang was even happier, perhaps a little excited, because her cheeks were a little red, "That's so embarrassing." ”

Bu Yao thought for a while and said, "If Grandma Wang really feels embarrassed, can you promise me one thing." ”

Old Wang was stunned, "What, what's the matter?" ”

"I see that your barn is almost useless now except for raising chickens?"

"That's right."

Bu Yao smiled, "In that case, can you rent that livestock shed to me as well?" It was counted in the rent of the two taels of silver. ”
