I am Xu Lingjun, who is full of love in the courtyard

Chapter 12
Guan Ju'er sniffed it seriously, and said in surprise, "Really, and it also has a strong fruity scent."

Qiu Yingying smiled and pointed forward, "Guan Guan, I think the fragrance should come from the front, and only Xu Lingjun lives there."

Guan Ju'er sniffed it carefully, and then said, "It's really true." After finishing speaking, he left it alone and continued to wash the vegetables.

Qiu Yingying didn't look at Guan Juer's lack of interest, she was still thinking about it on her own.After a while he said to Guan Juer, "Guan Guan, shall we go and have a look?"

"Um, it's not good. We are not familiar with him." Guan Juer pushed his eyes to make himself more comfortable.

"Didn't he greet us just now, let's go and have a look."

"Okay, but let's wash the dishes and take them back, shall we?"

"Okay. I knew that Guan Guan is the best." Qiu Yingying was very happy when she heard this, and she worked even harder to wash the vegetables.

After washing and putting away the dishes, Qiu Yingying whispered to Guan Juer, "Guan Guan, shall we go?"

"Yingying, I'd better not go."

"Guan Guan, I'm a little scared to go alone, why don't you go with me." Qiu Yingying grabbed Guan Ju'er's hand and acted like a baby.

Guan Juer smiled helplessly, and said, "Okay, Yingying, stop shaking, I'll go with you."

Qiu Yingying happily pulled Guan Juer outside.Fan Shengmei watched the two whispering, then walked outside, and asked in confusion, "Guan Guan, Yingying, dinner is coming soon, what are you doing out there?"

Neither of them wanted to make a fuss, Qiu Yingying said with a smile, "Let's go outside for a walk."

Fan Shengmei didn't care too much, and didn't say much.

Qiu Yingying smiled and said, "Sister Fan, let's go for a walk. I'll be back later." Then she pulled Guan Juer out.

Fan Shengmei watched the two go out, just smiled at everyone and said, "Yingying has a little secret now." Then she continued to cook.

Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer crossed the creek, and soon arrived outside Xu Lingjun's house.

"Guanguan, it smells so good. Xu Lingjun must be cooking something delicious."

"It smells like sugar."

Qiu Yingying knocked on the door and said, "Xu Lingjun, are you at home?"

Xu Lingjun, who was frying prickly pear jelly candy, heard the voice outside and thought of ignoring her.Turning her head, she realized that Qiu Yingying was not a bad person, so she said, "I'm in the kitchen, and the door wasn't closed."

Qiu Yingying turned her head and said to Guan Ju'er with a smile, "Guan Guan, the scent is coming from the kitchen, let's go in and have a look."

"Ah."

Qiu Yingying opened the kitchen door, and the two walked in.

"Xu Lingjun, hello." "Hello."

"Hello, what's the matter?"

Qiu Yingying said with a smile, "We smelled the fragrance outside, hehe."

After hearing this, Xu Lingjun was a little speechless.In my impression, this Qiu Yingying is a little familiar, but also a little confused, she is a very simple person.Sure enough, ordinary people would not come to beg for food after smelling the fragrance like this.

Before Xu Lingjun could speak, Qiu Yingying saw Xu Lingjun stirring the pot with a wooden spatula.He asked curiously, "Xu Lingjun, what are you doing?"

"It's making fudge, and it's ready to go." Xu Lingjun said while stirring with one hand, and poured sweet potato powder into it with the other.Under the action of the fire, the water slowly evaporated and became thicker.After a while, Xu Lingjun estimated that it was almost done, so he stopped stirring.The firewood in the stove was also taken out, waiting for the fudge to cool naturally.

Seeing Xu Lingjun stop, Qiu Yingying asked curiously, "Xu Lingjun, are you ready?"

"Well, now it's time to wait for the fudge in the pot to cool down, and then you can cut it. Do you want to try it? I don't even have a chair here, or you can stand and wait."

After hearing this, Qiu Yingying said with a smile, "It's okay, we'll just stand and wait."

Xu Lingjun pulled out all the firewood, then stood aside and waited.Guan Ju'er smelled the aroma of rice in the small stove, and said, "Xu Lingjun, I don't think you even have food here."

"Where do I have vegetables? You plant vegetables in front of and behind the house and no one cares about it. I can't do it anymore. If I dare to grow vegetables, someone will report me."

"I think you're quite optimistic, and you've finally seen the light of day after persevering."

"Don't talk about this, or you can sit on the soil stool for a while. It's cold."

"thanks, thanks."

Guan Ju'er continued, "Otherwise, shall I pick some food for you?"

"Forget it, I don't have anything here. I can't get the food here."

"By the way, do you have any straw here? Why don't you weave a straw mat and surround it with an earthen stool. That way, it won't be cold."

"Um, I don't know how to weave straw mats. I tried covering them with straw and it got everywhere, so I didn't think about these things anymore."

"How about treating us to some delicious food and weaving straw mats for you?"

"Is it really okay? How embarrassing?"

"It's our embarrassment."

"Thank you so much. Wait a moment, I'll go to the main room and get you some straw."

"Ah."

After finishing speaking, Xu Lingjun came to the main room, and there were some straw piled up by the wall, not a lot.I took two bundles, which is enough, I think.Back in the kitchen, he handed it to Guan Juer and said, "Guan Juer, this is enough."

"Enough." Guan Juer took the straw, distributed a bundle to Qiu Yingying, and said, "Yingying, here it is."

"Ah."

The two started to make it on the spot.

The rice fragrance was cooked, Xu Lingjun was afraid that the rice would burn, so he opened the lid of the casserole and checked, the water was gone.Take the chopsticks and poke it in, the rice is cooked.

To be honest, there was no food at home, and Xu Lingjun couldn't eat at all.So, he put half of the rice in a bowl, took the casserole to the stream, added some water, and went back to the kitchen.

Half a bowl of rice, with a little water, can cook a bowl of rice porridge.Even if there is no food, I can still eat.I took two sweet potatoes, came to the stream, and washed them off quickly.

After Xu Lingjun left, Qiu Yingying took the kitchen knife on the chopping board and said puzzledly, "Guan Guan, this kitchen knife is so new. And this iron pot, don't look at the tatters in this house, I didn't expect there to be good things. I I can't understand Xu Lingjun more and more, hasn't he always been an old right?"

"How do I know, but, you see, he can make such delicious candy, so he should be able to live well."

"Wow, I envy him so much, he can eat these good things every day. If only I could eat these every day."
