He was used to sleeping alone in the past, but Xiang Xi was different. She was afraid of the cold and would crawl wherever there was a heat source. She was unconscious even when she fell asleep. In the middle of the night, he could always feel that his arms were being held and his legs were warm. Yes, there is one more person on my body, which is quite different from being single.

Now he is not used to having anything soft and heavy on his body.

Ugh.

Goldman Sachs snored again, turned around, and tried his best to fall asleep.

"Haas".

Xiang Xi woke up at dawn in the morning and hurriedly climbed out of the cold quilt. The cold water bag turned into an ice bag. She couldn't sleep anymore, so she got up and went to add some charcoal fire under the earthen basket.

Fortunately, she used an iron piece to make a simple seesaw. The sand on the left was drained out, and the opening on the right was opened to leak out charcoal. With such a small mechanism, the temperature of the soil basket for hatching chicks could be guaranteed. Keep the temperature constant so you can sleep peacefully at night.

Xiang Xi had a simple breakfast.

Hanyu's three children came over to watch over the hatching of the chicks as usual.

Xiang Xi went to help Gao Er's sister-in-law build a fence in the backyard to surround the bamboo forest.

The third aunt asked her eldest son Gao Qun to deliver tofu to the shop in town.

"Fourth brother, take the seasonings in these jars to my mother. Just follow the recipe I told you yesterday and let her make it. If the fried tofu is not done well, then just sell the tofu curd. Salty tofu curd. Just use the seasonings I gave you. If the guests like to eat it, add whatever they like. If they like sweet bean curd, add sugar."

"Okay, I understand." Gao Qun drove the donkey cart to the county. Yesterday, the third aunt grinded a lot of tofu, including soft tofu, old tofu, and tofu.

Today I took it to the shop for trial sale, and the extra bean dregs just happened to be used to feed pigs. The second sister-in-law of Gao Er said that the piglets were willing to eat the bean dregs.

Busy morning.

Xiang Xi was so hot that he was covered in sweat. He wiped the sweat and prepared to make lunch.

At this moment.

Gao Qi came back with a large basket on his back.

"Third Aunt, I'm here." Gao Qi stood at the door and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Xiang Xi walked over following the sound, and saw the mountain goods in his basket at a glance, and said in surprise, "You collected so much so quickly? Put it down quickly, look at you, you are almost crushed."

Gao Qi snorted and said to himself, Third Aunt, don’t think I can’t see that you are laughing at me for being short.

"Third Aunt, how are you? I collected all good things, right?" Seeing Xiang Xi so happy and liking these wild goods, Gao Qi started to squeak again.

"Yes, there are so many mushrooms. It's really rare to find mushrooms in this winter."

"That's not the case." Gao Qi raised his chin, "We don't find it in ordinary places. We found it in the valley. It's warmer there and we can still give birth to some, but there aren't many left. I don't know if the rest can grow up." Woolen cloth."

"Then we'll have chicken stew with mushrooms for lunch today. It's going to be so delicious that it will make your mouth water."

Gao Qi retorted, "If you can eat chicken, how can it not be delicious?"

"That's different." Xiang Xi wanted to make braised chicken, but it lacked some chili peppers, so she could only use ginger and dogwood instead, hoping it would be a little spicy.

Gao Qi was intrigued by Xiang Xi's words and wanted to go into the kitchen to help. Xiang Xi asked him to get a scale to weigh all the dry goods, write down the quantity, and settle the money for him later.

As soon as Gao Qi heard this, he scratched his head and started learning arithmetic. He used the charcoal pen given by Xiang Xi. If he couldn't write the characters, he would write the straight characters. He would remember as many as there were comparisons.

Xiang Xi is busy in the kitchen.

Halfway through.

There was a knock on the door outside.

Xiang Xi shouted.Gao Qi had already run to the door and said, "Third Aunt, go on, I'll open the door."

He could smell the aroma of meat and didn't want to delay his third aunt's cooking at all.

Xiang Xi smiled and cursed, "You brat."

As soon as Xiang Xi put the chicken into the pot and simmered it, Gao Qi ran back, stood at the door and said, "Third Aunt, it's the Fifth Aunt who's back and riding in the carriage!"

"That horse looks so energetic. It would be great if I could buy one sometime." Gao Qi said enviously, with longing.

Xiang Xi is amused, knowing that this horse is just like a modern car, and most people can't resist it.

"If you follow your third aunt and I play well, you will definitely be able to buy it." Xiang Xi was not modest at all, but very proud.

Gao Qi held his stomach and laughed.

Xiang Xi knocked on his head, "You little brat."

When Liu Yuanyuan came in, she saw this scene. She was a little impatient. She had been waiting in the yard for so long, but Xiang Xi didn't come out.

She came to the door impatiently, but it turned out that this man was still talking and laughing in the kitchen, and he really didn't take her seriously.

Xiang Xi stopped laughing when he saw her, and asked mildly, "Are they the second younger brother and sister?"

"Sister-in-law, I have something to ask you." Liu Yuanyuan said with a serious face.

Xiang Xi doesn't know why she is so angry. Isn't it annoying to be angry every day?

If Liu Yuanyuan knew that she was very angry, but the person involved did not take it seriously, she would be even more angry. Who could call her strong character or refined egoism?

"Oh, if anything happens, just say it."

Liu Yuanyuan glanced at Gao Qi, obviously wanting him to avoid it.

Seeing that she seemed to be looking for trouble, Gao Qi didn't want to leave anymore, and said angrily, "Third Aunt, I'll light the fire for you. I'm young and don't understand anything."

Liu Yuanyuan frowned slightly when she saw Xiang Xi agreeing.

Xiang Xi looked at her calmly, "If you have anything to say, just say it. We are all a family, there is nothing to be shy about."

"Okay, since you are not afraid of making a fool of yourself, then I won't avoid people." Liu Yuanyuan said this with a bit of gloom.

Xiang Xi felt confused after hearing this, but did not interrupt, waiting for her explanation.

Liu Yuanyuan asked, "Sister-in-law, is this where you told Liu Qingqing that I live in the county?"

"No." When Xiang Xi heard this, she knew that she had been entangled again for no reason, but she didn't feel guilty, after all, she had never done it before.

Xiang Xi answered calmly, looking at her with half-smiling eyes, "I don't know the grudge between you and your mother's family, and I don't want to know."

"As for how Liu Qingqing knew about your house in the county, I don't know, but I believe that you, second brother and sister, think you are smart and can definitely investigate it."

"It's really not you?" Liu Yuanyuan didn't believe it. "Not long after the message you sent me arrived, the Liu family came to the door. How dare you say it wasn't you."

Xiang Xi spread his hands and said, "I sent you a message. Did your home address appear on it? What's more, your home address was discovered. Didn't you count it yourself? Who told you to be so high-profile?"

"You..." Liu Yuanyuan was so choked that she looked ugly and said in a deep voice, "Anyway, sister-in-law, please don't interfere in the Liu family's affairs. Although we are sisters-in-law, who can guarantee that you won't be able to ask me for help in the future?" If you come to the door, you will give me some face."

Xiang Xi hadn't figured out the purpose of her return today, but when she heard this, she finally understood. Her coming to question her was one of the reasons. The other was probably to convince her father and mother Gao, and wait for the Liu family to come to their door. Do not disclose the amount of their property.
