C214 (1/2)
The cold of the spring night in the countryside was beyond their imagination. They had truly underestimated the degree of difficulty they had to overcome. Exercise could only temporarily alleviate the difficulty. They had been woken up by the cold.
Gu Yun, who was only suitable for summer carrying, was unable to continue heating up. The number of bedding in the small hut was limited, and with a glance, it was obvious that he did not plan to go through the winter. The key thing was that after he woke up, it would become even colder.
Gu Yun had already helped her put on her clothes a long time ago, and the two of them hugged together to keep warm. Now, Gu Yun no longer had any plans to continue doing anything as he ran his fingers through her hair, ”Xi, are you hungry?”
”Master Gu, you're still planning to continue waving the spatula? Then go ahead and start. I'll light a fire for you.”
”Just stick to the front line of the fire, okay? Go heat up the fire.”
The two of them laughed sillily on the bed for a long time, then slowly got up and dressed. In truth, after they woke up, it was not that cold, and as the sun was gradually getting brighter, warmth also rose. Xie Jingxi scooped up some flour and prepared to mix it with the noodles, but just as she rolled up her sleeves, Gu Yun exclaimed, ”Xi, you still know how to cook noodles, do I have to get to know you again?”
Xie Jingxi used her finger that was covered in flour to point a few white spots on his face, ”I know even more, don't look down on me. Other than studying and selling, you know how to compare to me.”
Gu Yun was also smeared with flour and drew a few elegant whiskers on her cheeks, ”I do not need to learn from this, I know that you have put too much water on top of your head, are you preparing a pancake or a concoction?”
Xie Jingxi scooped another spoonful of noodles and placed it inside, ”Isn't that good enough, every time I put it on by feeling, making a noodle soup, although it doesn't look good, it tastes the same.”
Gu Yun laughed, ”When you put your demands on yourself, you don't feel that it's too low. Every time you do it, you do it to someone, if you say that Shen Huanzhi is this kind of person, I will definitely believe it.”
With Shen Huanzhi's family's condition, there was no need to eat what she made, even if it was his grandmother's place, she wouldn't even need to cook. At that time, wouldn't her requests be low, he would just have no requirements at all, and on a days that were as gray as death, eating noodles or drinking paste soup, wouldn't they all taste the same?
From yesterday, it was possible that from the very beginning, Gu Yun had wanted to ask her something. He was so intelligent, had such good eyesight, how could he not see through her, but Xie Jingxi could only pretend that he didn't know, and that it was not a secret, that there was no way he could say it, or perhaps it was unnecessary for her to say it now, since it was something from his previous life. Since it was something, it shouldn't involve his mood in this life, at least it shouldn't affect Gu Yun.
Xie Jingxi performed exceptionally well and finally managed to make a whole pot of soup. Not only did the pieces fail, the pieces were rather successful, and one bowl was basically the kind that could fill up one's stomach with three pieces. Gu Yun looked at him and laughed, ”As long as it's cooked, I think it's very successful.”
”It can't be. It's not cooked inside. It must be cooked outside. What is the main ingredient of the soup? Just drink it until it's warm.”
”I have truly gained knowledge. It's like eating a piece of soup for the first time.” Gu Yun drank a mouthful of soup, ”Yes, it's indeed quite warm.”
Drinking hot tea had the same effect.
Zhao Zhang rushed over early in the morning, and told him that he needed to erect a new courtyard on the side. Zhao Zhang opened his mouth wide, and looked at the white flour on the two of their faces with a troubled look, ”I say, Master, you and Madam are really planning to stay here for a long time, what are you looking for? If you and Madam want to stay in the Huainan for a while, then you can't find any houses in the city.
Gu Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at him, ”Are you trying to tell me why I can't stand it?
Zhao Zhang wanted to retort, but seeing the killing intent in Gu Yun's eyes, he could only hold it in. He swallowed his saliva and said: ”Alright, then I'll look for someone to build it up.”
Gu Yun laughed, ”It's fine to be a bit more sturdy, but you have to match your style to your surroundings, don't stand out like a crane among a flock of chickens. When the time comes, no one will not know to move in a landlord, and it won't be too big either, it's more or less the same size as this courtyard.”
If he didn't say it, Zhao Zhang would have gone along with the rules set up by the Marquis Mansion. After all, this place was big enough.
Time was of the essence, and Zhao Zhang immediately called for people to help him build a small courtyard. When the commotion broke out, the neighbors who they just met yesterday would immediately hear them, demonstrating their enthusiasm, Zou Ling was still fresh with energy, the moment she entered the door, it was as though a spring breeze was blowing, ”Mrs. Gu, are you planning to rebuild the house? Yesterday, I was thinking that your yard would definitely be cold at night. I don't know if I can live here, how about we move to my place first? ”My place is big, so there are a lot of empty rooms …”
Zou Ling stumbled, ”... ”It doesn't seem to be appropriate. Um, did you guys eat it last night? Pah, did you guys eat it this morning? The pie I baked this morning is all meat …”
