As the saying goes, cooking is not tiring, but brushing pots and washing dishes is tiring.

It's really tiring...

The cook who cooks vegetables only needs to dance two big knives to slaughter three or two chickens, ducks and sheep, and then throw them into the pot to add some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and put a few spoons on the wheel, and it is done.

But, it's miserable to brush pots and wash dishes...

The knife used by the cook should be washed, and the pot should be brushed. The dishes that I had eaten had to be soaked in water, the tables, chairs, and stoves that had been soiled had to be wiped down, and even the floor that the cook had used to slaughter cattle and slaughter blood on the ground, and I had to honestly smear it two or three times before it was done.

Don't look at it as some chores, but this big and small chores are added together, and it's not a joke.

"It's not a joke..."

Looking at the pots and pans piled up like a few hills in front of me, and the cow's blood that condensed into liquid slurry in that place. Xia Xun's face was so bitter that he almost wanted to drip bile.

"Or, when Aunt Huang comes tomorrow morning, I'll ask her to arrange some people to help us clean up, right?" Peony held a small handkerchief, gently wiped the residual sweat from her forehead, and said quietly.

"Uh..."

After hesitating and thinking for a while, Xia Xun still shook his head and rejected Peony's suggestion: "This is not very good... Although it was made by the knife master. But, we ate a lot anyway. If we still have to bother others to help us clean it, then let the knife master know, and I don't know how he will hurt me in the future. ”

The eyelashes trembled, and Peony raised her head to look at the bright moon in the sky, and it was already four watches. Looking down at the mess and a few hills, I couldn't help but feel tired and powerless...

"I'm afraid it's going to take a long, long time. Peony said quietly.

"Huh..."

"It's been a long time..."

Sighing

With a wry smile and helplessness, Xia Xun took a small stool and sat down, folded his sleeves and entered the water, holding a bowl in one hand and a rag in the other. Silently sat down a few hills and washed a pile of "stones".

While washing, he smiled bitterly and chattered: "Who made me unlucky, I owe the unjust debt of those two fierce gods in my last life." Even if you wash it until tomorrow morning, you have to wash it. After washing, at least I can feel more at ease. lest you be frightened all day long, and others speak ill of you. ”

“......”

Seeing that Xia Xun already had a spectrum in his heart, Peony didn't persuade him anymore. With a comforting smile, he followed Xia Xun's example, and from not far away, he moved a small stool and sat down cross-legged. He also folded the sleeves of his sack, revealing two slender snow-white little arms, immersed in the water...

"The two senior brothers just can't let go of some things in their hearts, but they actually have no ill will towards you. Don't worry too much about it..."

"Wow..."

Slender jade arms, white and slightly red. The thin green onion fingers, like a shelled hard-boiled egg, are soft and moist, and the dew spots in the white are light purple and bruised. This is a pair of crispy little hands that are too late to be cherished... Tonight, like an ordinary peasant woman, she sat on a small stool in the moonlight, clinging to the greasy dishcloth and washing it, doing some household chores.

This, no matter how you look at it, makes people look abrupt and uncomfortable...

Especially the big hands next to him, who are also washing the dishes and chopsticks, are even more uncomfortable to watch.

"I'll do my best. To say that you don't care, that's false. At most, when I see them in the future, I'll be far away..."

"Wow..."

Xia Xun put down the two porcelain plates that had been washed and took a clean rag. Then, he picked up the two little hands that had just entered the water from the basin... The little hands, from beginning to end, did not resist or struggle, and obediently let the two big hands carefully wipe the water marks on the palms of their arms.

"You, just sit and watch. ”

Xia Xun gently put her two little hands back on her master's knees, and then picked up a large bowl from the basin again, and continued to scrub it, while saying, "This job is not suitable for you, so I'll do the work." ”

"Then I can't be an idler?"

The little hands are obediently placed on their knees, stacked on top of each other.

Looking at the dishes turning back and forth in the basin, Peony's face couldn't help but show a hint of warmth. She covered it up well, though. The upper lip was slightly forced, and he pursed the lower lip that couldn't help but turn up, and forcibly resisted the snickering joy that almost bloomed.

"Idlers are idlers... The little girl's family is better to be less busy with this rough work. Put down the big bowl and scoop up a plate again, Xia Xun chattered.

"What does this have to do with the girl's family, other people's little girls, don't they also help out..."

"Of course it's different, other people's little girls don't have such delicate little hands as you. ”

“......”

Under Xia Xun's praise. The pink little lips still didn't resist the joy in their hearts, and they curled the crooked crescent. Blinking her eyes, Peony bent down a little, and asked with a hint of joy: "It's all the same pair, how can it be different." ”

"That's a big difference..."

Xia Xun smiled playfully, looked at the dishes in his hand, and said with an unhurried smile:

"Think about the hands of the knife master... The cocoon was almost as thick as his chopping board. If your beautiful little hands were washed like that, no one would dare to ask you in the future. What a shame... You're right, so I think..."

"Hmm..."

Before Xia Xun could say anything, an inexplicable chill suddenly rose from his side!

Cold.

Hanging in the air and twisting the big bowl and rag, he slowly turned his head and looked at the peony...

For!

"Uh..."

At this look, Xia Xun's little heart suddenly became cold to the bones like ice.

But seeing the joy of peony, I don't know when it has gone. The upturned crescent moon bends and hangs upside down into a bitter gourd. With a grievance on his face, his eyes were resentful, and he was so cold that it made his teeth tremble.

"What did you say?"

Coldly resentful, oozing out of the small mouth under the peony.

"Well, that's... I..."

Well, the wrong thing to say.

Xia Xun immediately reacted and knew what was going on. This is unintentional by the speaker, intentional by the listener, and a joke that he has to make a big problem now.

Not long after, when the knife master was still there, he swore that he should accept the problem of the private affairs of the children of Peony. Isn't it not long before he turned his head and said that no one dared to ask for it, so what he promised before became?

"I... I'm kidding, you... Don't take it seriously. ”

"It's not!"

"Did I say the wrong thing?"

“......”

Grievances, full of grievances.

For the girl who is just blooming in love, there are some jokes, and I really can't make it. Especially for some jokes that have a beautiful vision, they can't be opened. Because, a girl's mind is always so fragile. It doesn't matter if you are true or not, she can associate her words with the worst, and the more she thinks about it, the worse it gets...

And, Peony is just such a simple girl who can think about the good very well and the bad can think even worse.

"You've just said it so briskly. ”

"It's just too fast, so it's wrong. You know, right?

"I can't hear it!"

“......”

Some embarrassed, some helpless. Xia Xun put down the rag in his hand in embarrassment, stretched out a wet finger, and scratched his nose. I thought about it for a while...

"Actually..."

"I can't hear it, and it doesn't matter. ”

"What do you mean?" The upside-down crescent moon bent down a little, and Peony looked directly at Xia Xun's eyes, and the resentment was even stronger.

Thump...

Xia Xun's cold little heart was beaten violently by this resentment.

"I... I... I mean, no one dares to ask for you, isn't that great?"

Scold!

“......”

As soon as Xia Xun said a word, Peony's two resentful eyes suddenly condensed into two cold and cold lights. It was in her eyes, and there were ripples swaying with the grievances. This is the prelude to tears...

"You bastard..."

The voice was soft, but the resentment was enough to scare people.

Sven's girl actually cursed. However, Xia Xun at this time did not have much reaction to this. It's just that he smiled embarrassedly and slowed down his thoughts:

"I... I... I mean, really, it's good. ”

"Don't worry, don't worry... I'm not done..."

As he spoke, Xia Xun cringed and stretched out his big hand and gently held the two slender hands that Peony placed on his lap. Although the big hand is not big, the small hand is very slender, just enough to fit into the palm of the big hand, no more, no less.

After shaking it for a while, Xia Xun gently continued: "At least... At least, for me, it's pretty good. ”

Seeing that Xia Xun seemed to have words in his words, the ripples in the eyes of the peony were dangling in the bags of his eyes, and he continued to brew: "Hello, what's the matter with me." ”

"Huh. ”

"That's not a small relationship..."

Two dry laughs, the big hand patted the little hand lightly, Xia Xun exhaled deeply, calming the nervous jump in his heart.

"Think about it...

If so, in the future, if any of the sons and daughters really fall in love with you, with my body and cultivation, what will I do to compare with others? If you don't get it right, if you meet some palace nobles, princes and grandsons who will give you a shot, then they will be arrogant and put me on the street at any time, then it won't necessarily be anything difficult.

You say, my daughter-in-law can't ask for it, and even this little life is gone, so how wronged am I?

So, if only no one would dare to marry you. Then I don't need to waste that strength to fight with others for your life and death.

Isn't that good, you say?"

“......”

It's, it's very sensual.

Fortunately, the knife master is not here now, otherwise he would definitely have goosebumps all over his body, and then he grinned at Xia Xun and sprayed it loudly.

However, although this is nonsense and sensual. But, a simple girl, what she likes to listen to most is this sweet words that make people numb.

"Flim Flam..."

This is not... As soon as Xia Xun's words were finished, the upside-down crescent of the peony gradually pouted. Although the grievances on his face are still unabated, at least the cold resentment has subsided most of it. There are only a few wisps of small sourness left that are not right:

"That's not what you just meant. ”

"What a joke just now. ”

"That's what you said. ”

“......”

The big hand rubbed the soft little hand in his hand, as if conveying the meaning of begging for mercy.

There is no rut, and you can't live if you do your own evil. How can a young boy who came out of a ravine know how to measure so much affection and love? Tear off his face and say a love story that even he has goosebumps, that is, the only measure he can take out his hand. If so, this can't coax the girl in front of her into a smile. Then he only has one death left to prove his innocence...

"Grandma, I really know that I am wrong, will you spare me?"

"How can I spare you when you say that?"

The two small hands covered in the big hands were covered with warm fine sweat, wet, but not uncomfortable, but there was a slight sense of warmth. Peony lowered her eyes, looked at the three palms that were lightly joined together, pouted, and complained faintly: "What you just said is that this hand is like a knife master, but no one dares to ask for it." No, no one else dares to ask for it. That's what you don't dare to ask for..."

The words are sour, but calm and soft. It can be seen that Peony is giving Xia Xun a step.

"Whew..."

Seeing this step, Xia Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief as if he was about to be amnestied. The girl in front of him was angry, but she really scared him into fear.

Gently patted the two little hands he was holding. Then Xia Xun bent down, put his mouth to Peony's ear, and said in a very low voice: "Don't worry, I can't run away." ”

Blinking, Peony turned her face sideways and looked at Xia Xun suspiciously. He said angrily, "How do I know if you're a liar..."

Xia Xun smiled slightly.

"I've written back to the village about the two of them today..."

"What's the matter?"

Xia Xun held one of the tender little hands of the peony, raised his finger in front of the two of them, and said with a smile:

"This thing. ”

The little face was flushed, and the shyness could not be hidden.

"I didn't promise you. ”

"Then what are you afraid of running?"

"You're laughing at me!"

"Eh, don't pinch... It hurts..."

“......”
