Windy: The leisurely life of the village owner

At the kitchen sink, Xu Hongdou nodded helplessly after hearing Xie Linfeng's question.

After seeing Xu Hongdou nodding, it seemed that the habit of many years had kicked in. Xu Hongmi couldn't help but said:

"You ask her? She has been a little confused since she was a child. What will be the result of asking her?"

When Xu Hongdou on the side heard this, he rarely replied back, but just rolled his eyes gently.

It's so rare to see Xu Hongdou not replying!
Therefore, Xu Hongmi looked at Xu Hongdou in surprise.

However, Xu Hongdou was seriously catching fish with Xie Linfeng, and did not notice Xu Hongmi's surprised look at all.

Soon, almost all the fish in the fish guard were put into the fish pond for feeding.

Only a few crucian carps that were needed for dinner were left, as well as the largest one, a black fish that weighed almost seven or eight kilograms.

Xie Linfeng lifted the remaining fish up with the fish protector and took it to the kitchen to start cleaning it up.

At this time, Xu Hongdou and Xu Hongmi also followed Xie Linfeng to the kitchen.

But watching Xie Linfeng start killing fish, the two of them didn't know how to intervene for a while.

The first thing Xie Linfeng cleaned was crucian carp. At this time, he had killed the fish in twos and threes and was performing "surgical operation" on it!
At this time, Xu Hongmi on the side seemed to think that she should do something to help, and couldn't help but said:

"Um... Ah Feng, do you think I can do anything to help?"

"I always feel a little embarrassed just watching you busy all alone!"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he couldn't help but smile softly and was about to say something.

At this time, Xu Hongdou on the side seemed to have found an opportunity and couldn't help but sneered:

"What can you do to help?"

"Can you help kill fish? Or can you help clean fish scales and internal organs?"

Speaking of this, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but rolled his eyes and continued:

"I'm afraid your family has hired a nanny to cook for these years. You haven't cooked by yourself for many years, right?"

"So, even if I ask you to help, are you sure you can still handle it now?"

Hearing Xu Hongdou's question, Xu Hongmi suddenly felt choked.

Indeed, Xu Hongmi has not been in the kitchen for many years since she fell in love and got married after graduating from college.

Even if I occasionally return to my hometown, my parents will not let me enter the kitchen.

The euphemistic saying is: I am not destined to stay in the kitchen, I just need to wait outside to eat ready-made food!
Moreover, I really don’t have that much free time to cook in the kitchen.

After all, in Xu Hongdou's words, he answers endless calls every day and deserves to work hard!
Therefore, it was really difficult for Xu Hongmi, who had not been in the kitchen for many years, to ask her to help clean fish scales and internal organs.

Therefore, Xu Hongmi rarely responded this time, but instead shrugged indifferently!

Seeing the two sisters Xu Hongdou getting along so well, they almost never missed any opportunity to attack each other.

Xie Linfeng was a little speechless. Is this the daily life of a family with many children?
And...it's really "lively"!
Xie Linfeng killed all the crucian carp, scraped off the fish scales and eviscerated the fish, and then handed them to Xu Hongdou who was standing aside.

Xu Hongdou took it with some familiarity, then carried the basin with the crucian carp to the sink and started cleaning it.

Looking at the tacit understanding of the two people's movements, it is obvious that they have cooperated many times.

Xu Hongmi on the side couldn't help but curled her lips slightly, and looked at the two of them with a playful look!

Xu Hongmi's expression was caught by Xu Hongdou, who turned his head inadvertently.

She was a bit annoyed and "preemptively struck" and said:
"Sister, please stop standing here. What's so good about killing fish?"

"You are here as a guest, so you should go and drink tea first, and just wait for dinner later!"

Hearing this, Xu Hongmi nodded playfully and said with a smile:

"Okay, I won't bother you by making light bulbs here. Can I leave then?"

Saying that, without waiting for Xu Hongdou to answer, he turned around with a chuckle and walked towards the tea room not far away!
Xu Hongdou looked at Xu Hongmi's slowly leaving steps and wanted to say something back.

However, in the end, he just opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak!
After seeing that Xu Hongmi had left, Xu Hongdou had no choice but to give up and continue cleaning the crucian carp!

Xie Linfeng, who was cleaning the big black fish at the side, saw all the "interaction" between the two sisters.

After Xu Hongmi left, Xie Linfeng couldn't help but smile to Xu Hongdou:

"I said, Hongdou, you and your sister have always gotten along like this over the years?"

Hearing this, Xu Hongdou nodded without looking back and said with a wry smile:
"This is not bad. It used to be more exaggerated. We could hardly say more than two sentences before we would start quarreling!"

"As we get older, we have restrained ourselves a lot now!"

"But it's still necessary to find an opportunity to start a weird fight with each other!"

"Over the years, we have developed a habit of making you laugh!"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"What's so funny about this? Others can't even envy you!"

"As for me, a single child in my family, even if I want to find someone to talk to each other about, I can't find anyone!"

"And the way you get along is actually quite good!"

"I can see that the relationship between you sisters is actually quite good, even though it seems noisy."

"However, a lot of what you say is actually for the sake of the other person."

"So, your relationship is actually enviable in the eyes of many people. It's good!"

After listening to Xie Linfeng's words, Xu Hongdou wanted to refute something.

However, if you think about it carefully, what Xie Linfeng said actually makes sense.

It seemed that he and his sister would quarrel almost as soon as they met, but the relationship between the two really did not get worse because of the quarrels.

The reason why the two of them quarreled was mostly because of the habits they had developed over the years.

It's not that the two really have such a big hatred. On the contrary, the relationship between the two sisters is actually quite good.

Therefore, Xu Hongdou just nodded thoughtfully in the end!
……

Just as Xie Linfeng and Xu Hongdou were preparing dinner together, Xu Hongmi was sitting in the tea room drinking tea leisurely.

Outside the courtyard gate, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps. Xie Linfeng heard the movement and looked through the kitchen window.

Then he saw Xie Zhiyao and Chen Nanxing walking in from the courtyard gate talking and laughing.

When passing by the kitchen window sill, Chen Nanxing happened to see the two people busy in the kitchen through the gap in the window.

He couldn't help but take care of him with some curiosity:
"A Feng, Hong Dou, you are already preparing dinner!"

Xie Linfeng was slicing the black fish at this time. Hearing this, he raised his head and nodded lightly to Chen Nanxing and Xie Zhiyao as a greeting.

Xu Hongdou was washing side dishes by the sink. Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile to Chen Nanxing:
"Yes, you are back. Nannan, come here and help wash the vegetables!"

Hearing this, Chen Nanxing nodded quickly and agreed:
"Okay, I'll be right over!" As she said that, she handed a satchel in her hand to Xie Zhiyao and asked him to help put it back in the room upstairs.

As for herself, she quickly walked around to the main entrance of the kitchen and ran towards the kitchen.

However, when she passed by the tea room, she was startled by a sudden greeting.

"Nannan? Why are you running so fast?"

"what?"

Chen Nanxing was startled by Xu Hongmi's sudden greeting.

After seeing Xu Hongmi sitting in the tea room drinking tea, she gently patted her chest and said:
"It's Sister Hongmi. Your sudden voice shocked me!"

Hearing this, Xu Hongmi couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"Who makes you so angry? If I don't say hello to you, I'm afraid you'll just run past me and you won't even be able to see me!"

When Chen Nanxing heard this, his face turned slightly red and he said:
"Well, Hongdou asked me to help. I was busy going there, so I didn't notice that you are here, Sister Hongmi!"

Chen Nanxing seems to be a little afraid of Xu Hongmi. He is indeed a "ruthless person" who is [-] meters tall!
Xu Hongmi seemed to be used to other people's attitudes and didn't take it too seriously.

And he nodded gently to Chen Nanxing and said with a smile:

"Okay, I just want to say hello to you, you can go do your business!"

Chen Nanxing felt as if he had been granted amnesty upon hearing this, and nodded quickly and said:
"Okay, Sister Hongmi, you can continue drinking tea, I'm going to help Hongdou!"

After saying that, Chen Nanxing quickly ran towards the kitchen.

Seeing Chen Nanxing leaving quickly, Xu Hongmi shook her head helplessly.

"Ha! Am I so terrible?"

……

With the help of Chen Nanxing as a "new force", all the ingredients for dinner were almost ready in no time.

After a while, Xie Zhiyao also walked into the kitchen.

Seeing Xie Zhiyao arriving, Xie Linfeng couldn't help but chuckled:
"Ayao, you're here just in time. Can you go to the courtyard to help pick the vegetables and clean them by the way?"

Hearing this, Xie Zhiyao chuckled and nodded, saying:
"Okay, I'll go right away. How many vegetables are needed? Do you have a specific quantity?"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said:
"You can make up your own mind. Mr. Ma and the others probably won't come back for dinner tonight, so people like us won't be able to ask for much!"

Hearing this, Xie Zhiyao nodded and said:
"Master Ma is hanging out with Teacher Hu every day now. They probably won't come back for dinner!"

Saying that, Xie Zhiyao also nodded and continued:

"Okay, I'll pick them as you watch. They're just for frying. Then I'll just pick a few cabbages!"

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng nodded and said:
"That's fine. The cabbage in the yard is ripe. If you don't pick it, it will become old and unpalatable in a while!"

Then, Xie Zhiyao turned around and left the kitchen, heading towards the vegetable garden in the front yard.

When Chen Nanxing, who had nothing to do, saw this, he quickly followed.

After seeing Chen Nanxing also leaving, Xie Linfeng looked at Xu Hongdou who had nothing to do and said with a smile:
"Hongdou, there's nothing going on in the kitchen. You'd better go and talk to Sister Hongmi!"

"It must be quite boring for her to drink tea alone in the tea room!"

When Xu Hongdou heard this, he chuckled and said:
"Don't pay attention to her, she is talking on her cell phone right now!"

"I don't know where she can make so many calls every day. Is it necessary to keep herself so busy?"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"Sister Hongmi is such a big company after all, and she basically does all the company's business herself!"

"So, it's normal for her to be busy!"

"It's not that easy to work hard in a big city like the Magic City!"

"Not everyone is as laid-back and leisurely as we are. This is why I chose to give up my job in the city and return to my hometown for development!"

When Xu Hongdou heard this, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Xie Linfeng and said:
"You can take it easy on your own, but don't drag me along!"

"I usually have a lot of work, but it's not like you, the hands-off shopkeeper, who doesn't care about anything every day!"

Indeed, the villa is a suitable size and Xu Hongdou is now managing it.

Although there is not much going on most of the time, Xu Hongdou is still very busy when something happens!

Xie Linfeng naturally knew this, otherwise why would he give Xu Hongdou [-]% of the shares?

In other words, if Xu Hongdou's job was really so easy, do you think her character would be willing to accept such a high dividend from Xie Linfeng?
Therefore, Xie Linfeng, who was choked by Xu Hongdou's words, knew that he was in the wrong, so he did not refute!

Xu Hongdou was just annoyed and did not pursue the matter further.

After skipping this topic, Xu Hongdou took the time to look at the tea room and found that Xu Hongmi seemed to have hung up the phone.

At this time, she was sitting by the window in the tea room, staring out the window in a daze.

"Okay, you don't need my help here anymore, so I'll go out first. Remember to call me if you need anything!"

Xu Hongdou thought about it for a while, but still felt a little wrong with what she said. Maybe she saw that her sister was bored, so she said to Xie Linfeng.

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng nodded and said with a smile:

"Okay, go ahead, I'll call you if anything happens!"

After seeing Xie Linfeng nod, Xu Hongdou turned around and walked slowly towards the tea room.

……

The rest of the time will be left to Xie Linfeng.

Later, after Xie Zhiyao picked the vegetables, he came over to help.

Therefore, Chen Nanxing, who had nothing to do, ran to the tea room to join in the fun!
Although Chen Nanxing felt a little restrained when Xu Hongmi was alone with her.

However, isn’t there a little bit of red beans there!
And with Chen Nanxing as a "pistachio" balancing on the side, Xu Hongdou and Xu Hongmi no longer had any quarrels.

Instead, not long after, a burst of silvery laughter came from the tea room from time to time.

Obviously, with Chen Nanxing's assistance, the three women get along quite happily.

And time passed slowly like this, until Xie Linfeng and Xie Zhiyao prepared dinner and began to inform the three of them to eat.

Everyone enjoyed the dinner quite happily, and Xu Hongmi did not hesitate to praise Xie Linfeng's craftsmanship during the dinner.

Anyway, this dinner can be called a feast for the guests and the host!
After the meal, everyone sat around under the eaves and drank tea for a while to relieve their appetite.

By around eight o'clock in the evening, Xu Hongmi, who had experienced a long journey during the day, was inevitably a little sleepy.

Therefore, everyone did not chat much and quickly dispersed!
