Gui Zhi hurriedly crouched down and hid behind the pile of hay by the cowshed.

In the barn, Jin Xiaolou covered her nose and mouth as she slowly leaned against the side of the shed pillar. She squinted at the window that lit up, wanting to wait for the oil lamp to extinguish before continuing.

However, not only was the light not extinguished, it was even lifted up by someone. After shaking it twice, the door opened with a creak. A white-haired, stooped old lady slowly walked out with an oil lamp in her hand.

Crap …

Jin Xiaolou thought that it was not good. Didn't they say that all the elderly went to sleep early?

Gui Zhi was even more nervous as his fingers tightly gripped the hem of his shirt.

Seeing Grandma Zheng walk across the courtyard straight towards the cowshed, Jin Xiaolou said softly to Gui Zhi: ”Quickly run!”

Gui Zhi took in a deep breath, then seeing Jin Xiaolou somersaulting out of the cowshed, he closed his eyes and turned to run out.

Just as he took a step forward, he heard an elderly but powerful voice call out: ”Stop!”

Gui Zhi abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Jin Xiaolou was caught off guard and she almost crashed into Gui Qi's back, but she could only turn around and stand obediently.

Gui Zhi bit his lips, vexed that he was so useless that he wouldn't be able to escape. He turned around and at the same time, pulled down the small hat made from the leaves of the sweet potato leaves that he was wearing, covering his face.

”Stop covering me up. Although I am old, I am not blind.” Grandma Zheng said, ”The new wife of Jin Family, show her face.”

Huang Guizhi had already been married for more than three years, and only Granny Zheng, who never went out of her house, still called her new wife.

”Two people sneaking around and stealing cattle from my cowshed?” Granny Zheng snorted. ”I'm going to turn you all over there and fix the crime of theft. I'm going to chop off your hands and whip you a hundred times!”

Gui Zhi's body trembled and his hand went soft. The sweet potato leaf fell to the ground at his feet.

She quickly bent down and bowed for a long time, then said, ”Grandma Zheng, this was my idea all by myself. It has nothing to do with Lou Cheng. Why don't you drag me to see what's going on?”

Jin Xiaolou also quickly bowed: ”I'm sorry, Grandma Zheng. ”I was the one who insisted on pulling on Gui Zhi to squeeze the cow. Gui Qi didn't know anything and was duped by me …”

Before he could finish his words, he heard a ”pfft” sound and someone laughed.

Jin Xiaolou and Gui Qi's faces were facing the ground. Hearing the laughter, they both raised their heads at the same time and looked at Grandma Zheng with their red, round eyes.

Under the candlelight, Granny Zheng was beaming with joy.

The monk was confused, just as he was in a daze, Granny Zheng said in a benevolent tone: ”The wind in the courtyard is strong, don't bow, quickly come in.”

Jin Xiaolou and Huang Guizhi looked at each other. They didn't know what Grandma Zheng was up to.

Grandma Zheng sighed. ”I was just teasing you two girls. I'm getting old. It's been a long time since anyone has said a word. I'm so lonely. Come to the house and chat with me. You can take the milk and exchange it. ”

Jin Xiaolou and Huang Guizhi accompanied Grandma Zheng and chatted for the time it took to drink a jug of wine. From the strange happenings in Wellhead Village thirty years ago, to the unsmiling Wei Zhengshu, they also talked about the Wei Shou.

Granny Zheng had just mentioned the Wei Hu, this person was very odd, but she quickly retracted her words as she was about to say it. He stood up and thumped his legs, shouting that it was late, that he was about to rest, and then rushed to Jin Xiaolou and Huang Guizhi to milk.

The young cow of Aunt Zheng's house had a docile personality, Jin Xiaolou quickly squeezed out half a bucket of milk.

The two of them carried the milk back to the Wei Hu's house. The moon was already high in the sky, and the cold wind blew heavily against the gravel.

Huang Guizhi's mind was still thinking about the weird things that Grandma Zheng had said. She was extremely scared and continued to grip Jin Xiaolou's hands tightly.

Jin Xiaolou acted like sshe was coaxing Lin'er, he coaxed Gui Qi onto the bed, then carried the milk to the kitchen.

Making cheese was not easy, but it was not difficult either.

Jin Xiaolou sat in front of the stove and lit the fire. Before the wok was hot, she poured all of the milk in, then took out two lemons that she grabbed from the way back. She rolled on the blade of the knife until it was soft, then cut it off and mixed the sour juice with the milk and stirred it with a spoon.

After cooking for eight hours on a small fire, it was the same as cooking for eight hours.
