Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 260 True temperament
Time flies, and soon it is more than 5 o'clock in the morning.

Xu Lingjun stretched, woke up from his sleep, and immediately smelled the aroma of food.

He was slightly taken aback, turned his head hastily, and looked towards the stove, but he didn't see Li Xiuzhi.

Just when he was a little confused.

With a "creak", the door was pushed open.

He followed the sound and saw Li Xiuzhi walking in with her sleeves rolled up, holding a water basin.

"You're awake!"

Li Xiuzhi smiled slightly and said softly.

"Well, why don't you sleep more?"

Seeing Li Xiuzhi's unnatural walking posture, Xu Lingjun said with concern.

"It's okay, I'm used to getting up early."

Li Xiuzhi blushed slightly, and said with some embarrassment.

As she spoke, she put the basin on the washstand and poured some hot water into it.

"Let me come! While it's still early, you go to bed and sleep later."

Xu Lingjun shook his head slightly, got up and walked over and said.

"Don't worry, I'm not that delicate. You have to wash up quickly, and you have to go out to work after breakfast."

With a smile on the corner of Li Xiuzhi's mouth, she handed the toothbrush and tooth powder to Xu Lingjun, and said softly.

"Really?"

Xu Lingjun frowned and asked with some doubts.

"Why did I lie to you!"

Li Xiuzhi rolled her eyes and said.

"Then can we continue tonight?"

Xu Lingjun moved closer to Li Xiuzhi's ear and said narrowly.

"Why are you so rude!"

Li Xiuzhi glared at Xu Lingjun, stomped her feet in embarrassment and said.

"hey-hey!"

Xu Lingjun smiled smugly, stretched out his hand to hold Li Xiuzhi in his arms, and said with a soft smile: "You are my wife, it is only natural for me to want to make out with you! Why is it not serious?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Li Xiuzhi said angrily.

After finishing speaking, she silently pressed her face to Xu Lingjun's chest, listening to the strong heartbeat, she felt a sense of relief in her heart.

Xu Lingjun put his chin on Li Xiuzhi's head, sniffing the scent of soap gently, and felt warm in his heart.

Soon after, they had breakfast together.

Li Xiuzhi handed the coat and hat to Xu Lingjun, and said softly: "It's cold outside today, you should wear more clothes when you go out to work."

"Well, then I'm going to graze the horses first. You can have a good rest at home. If you need anything, you can ask Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Niu for help."

Xu Lingjun nodded and smiled.

After speaking, he picked up the whip, opened the door and went out.

Not long after, he came to the stable with the horse tools, and saw Uncle Dong leaning against the manger smoking a pipe.

He frowned, and asked in surprise, "Master, why are you here?"

"Ling Jun! Didn't everyone say last night that you will be given three days of wedding leave according to the national regulations! So these few days you can stay at home with your wife, and I will release your horse for you."

Uncle Dong exhaled a puff of dry smoke and said with a smile.

"No, no, how can you help me let go of the horse!"

Xu Lingjun hastily waved his hand and refused.

"Ham, you have been in our team for so many years, you haven't had a good rest, and marriage leave is a national regulation, you don't have to worry about letting others gossip."

Uncle Dong persuaded with an earnest face.

"Master, I'm not worried that others will gossip, I just don't want you to be troubled."

Xu Lingjun explained with some confusion.

"It's okay, it's okay, anyway, I haven't let the horses out for a while, so I can move my body."

Uncle Dong smiled with some relief.

As he said that, he reached out and took all the horse tools that Xu Lingjun was holding, then opened the stable and walked to the big green horse, and put the saddle on the big green horse.

"呲~"

Da Qingma snorted, and rubbed his head on Uncle Dong enthusiastically.

Although it has become the horse king at this time, it still remembers that it was raised by Uncle Dong.

Seeing this situation, Xu Lingjun couldn't refuse Uncle Dong's kindness anymore.

After a while, he watched Uncle Dong drive the horses away, turned around and went back home.

"Why did you come back so soon?"

Li Xiuzhi was sitting on the bed mending clothes, and when she saw Xu Lingjun came back, she immediately asked with some doubts.

"Uncle Dong said to give me a few days off, let me have a good rest for a few days."

Xu Lingjun smiled slightly, stepped forward to sit beside Li Xiuzhi, and explained.

"Well, then you should have a good rest, don't let others down."

Li Xiuzhi nodded and said.

"It's impossible to rest. I plan to build another house next to our house, and also fence the yard. Just take advantage of the time these few days, I can go to the nearby mountains to pull some mud and stones back."

Xu Lingjun laughed.

"I will go with you."

Li Xiuzhi looked up at Xu Lingjun and said expectantly.

"Okay, then I'll go to Mrs. Niu to borrow a carriage. You take the hoe, hammer, and dustpan. When I come back, we'll set off."

Xu Lingjun readily agreed.

"Ok!"

Li Xiuzhi agreed with a smile, and immediately ran out to get the tools.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing Li Xiuzhi's cheerful figure, Xu Lingjun couldn't help laughing.

Although Li Xiuzhi has become his wife, she is only 20 years old after all, and her true nature is being delicate, naive, and playful.

He also hoped that Li Xiuzhi could keep it like this.

Soon, he went to Guo Shuzi's house, borrowed the carriage of the seventh team, and drove Li Xiuzhi to the barren hills near the village.

This barren mountain was found when he went out to search the day before yesterday when he was preparing to build a house.

There are some large and small granite stones on the mountain, which basically meet the needs of laying foundations. Moreover, the stones are not large and are easier to carry.

When they arrived at the barren mountain, he and Li Xiuzhi worked together in a division of labor, and he would carry some relatively large stones, while Li Xiuzhi picked up the small stones with a dustpan.

When the carriage was full, they carried the stones back home together.

In this way, one after another, the time soon reached noon.

"enough?"

Li Xiuzhi looked at the stones piled up in the yard, stretched out her hand to wipe off her sweat, and asked slightly panting.

"Well, it should be almost there."

Xu Lingjun roughly estimated in his heart, nodded and said.

After all, it is only a one-story adobe house, so there is no need to lay such a deep foundation, and [-] centimeters is more than enough.

Moreover, when he was carrying stones in the barren hills, taking advantage of Li Xiuzhi's inattention, he collected a lot of stones and put them in the system warehouse.

Except for some of the stones that he unknowingly mixed in every time he transported back, there is still a large part that can also be used when laying the foundation.

"Okay, then I'll go cook."

Li Xiuzhi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words.

Although Xu Lingjun didn't ask her to do heavy work, she was already a little unwell. After a busy morning, she couldn't hold on anymore.

"Let me do it! You go wash your face and have a rest."

Xu Lingjun hurriedly opened his mouth and stopped Li Xiuzhi.

Li Xiuzhi saw that there were no outsiders at home, so she didn't insist any longer, and obediently ran to wash up.

Xu Lingjun smiled slightly, went into the room and took a piece of dried rabbit meat, intending to make a dry pot rabbit.

Because most of the recipes for rabbits come from Sichuan cuisine, and Li Xiuzhi is from Sichuan, so he made this dish just for Li Xiuzhi to enjoy.

Sure enough, after smelling the familiar scent, Li Xiuzhi immediately ran over with surprise on her face, and said with bright eyes: "You can also make dry pot rabbits!"

Xu Lingjun frowned, and said with a chuckle: "I know a lot! Like spicy rabbit head, cold-eat rabbit, diving rabbit, silk-wrapped rabbit, shredded roasted rabbit, orange peel rabbit, I can do them all!"

"Gudong!"

Li Xiuzhi couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva when she heard the series of delicacies in her memory.
