I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 223

Seeing that the two of them were enjoying their meal, Zhou Chenyu quickly cut the remaining seven salted duck egg yolks in half, put them neatly on the plate, and brought them to the table in the main room.

Li Xiuju came out with a pot of cooked mustard greens and lean meat porridge.

Zhou Chenyu looked at her legs, "I'll do it."

"No need, mother." Li Xiuju blocked her hand and walked slowly back to the main room.

Wan Qiu and Bao Yu ate everything in the eggshells and immediately put down what they were holding. One of them took out the remaining bowls and chopsticks, and the other took out the remaining hot coals from the stove and put them into the charcoal basin. Get to the main room.

After a simple meal was ready, they closed the door of the main room, leaving only a gap in the window for ventilation.

After the deep winter, the family would cook several meat dishes with heavy oil for every dinner, so that the body could grow more meat to withstand the severe cold.

But after eating too much meat dishes, occasionally eating a light meal feels even more delicious.

Zhou Chenyu drank the plain bowl of porridge with more mustard greens and less lean meat in his hand, occasionally accompanied by a sip of salted duck egg yolk, and that was what he was thinking at the moment.

I still remember that not long after she came here, she was either nibbling sweet potatoes or eating wild vegetables every day. She dreamed of eating a few pieces of meat to fill her stomach.

The good times at home had only lasted a year, and she suddenly missed those days again.

People are really fickle.

Zhou Chenyu secretly looked at the other people. Except for Wan Qiu, Baoyu and the old lady seemed to be the same as her.

"Sister Chen Yu, why don't you eat? Why are you laughing?" Wan Qiu raised his head and looked at her blankly.

Zhou Chenyu was stunned for a moment, then looked back and smiled from the bottom of his heart: "It's nothing. I didn't expect that this mustard green would make a porridge once in a while, and it would taste pretty good."

Li Xiuju picked up half of the salted duck eggs and listened to the sound of water falling from the eaves. "The rain outside has stopped."

Zhou Chenyu stretched out, "I haven't seen the sun for more than ten days, and I'm almost getting moldy. I hope I can see the sun at the first sight when I wake up tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow is market day, so it will be nice if the weather turns sunny."

Li Xiuju scooped all the egg yolks and protein into the porridge, slowly stirred it evenly, looked at Zhou Chenyu and said with a smile: "Chenyu, if the weather is nice tomorrow, why don't you go to the city?"

"Okay, what do you want to buy?" Zhou Chenyu replied.

It rained continuously for more than ten days. Baoyu was trapped in the village and almost suffocated. When he heard that he could enter the city, he was eager to try: "Mom, what do you want to buy? Just tell me, I will do this kind of rough work!"

"You're not needed." Li Xiuju glanced at the playful Baoyu angrily, then looked at Zhou Chenyu with a smile.

Baoyu lowered his head depressedly and ate his porridge.

Wan Qiu probably guessed it, blinked and smiled, and drank the porridge silently without interrupting.

Zhou Chenyu looked at the old man's drunkard's smile that was not interested in drinking. Needless to say, it was probably because of those things.

"Oops, I left something in the kitchen. I have to go get it." She stood up and walked into the kitchen pretending to be stupid, but was forcefully pulled by Li Xiuju and sat down.

"The dishes and porridge are here, what are you doing out there?" Li Xiuju asked depressedly.

Zhou Chenyu blinked innocently, "I'm going out to avoid the limelight."

Li Xiuju raised her eyebrows and said, "Chen Yu, my mother helped you get rid of Huilan's nephew this afternoon." Zhou Chenyu opened his eyes and protested, "Old lady, just talk about things. Why are you bringing up old scores?"

Li Xiuju put away her threatening tone and said as if begging for mercy: "Chen Yu, now the Jixiang Building matter has been settled, and Qian Rushan has also been imprisoned. That kid Yang Xi helped you, and helped such a big person in our family. He's busy, we are all ordinary people, and we don't know what we should give him in return. Why don't you go and invite him to our place for a meal in person? Mom wants to thank him in person."

I don’t know what I can give him in return?

Zhou Chenyu looked at the old lady's happy smile. Didn't he ask her to repay him?
Although she is not unwilling, forcing her to do it is another matter.

She is a rebellious person.

Zhou Chenyu lowered his eyes and smiled arrogantly, "The Jixiang Tower incident involves Qian Rushan and so many people from the Qian family behind him. Yang Xi must be very busy these days. How can I have time to deal with you? Dinner party? Old lady, please stop doing this."

Baoyu made a strange noise, "So it's because of this, so naturally it has nothing to do with me. But mother, if I don't want to go, I'll go and send you a message."

Zhou Chenyu stepped on his toes and smiled lightly, "Are you still going?"

Baoyu groaned, his mouth more honest than his body, "Sister, I...I was wrong."

Zhou Chenyu let him go, but faced Li Xiuju's sullen face, "Chen Yu, are you really not willing to go?"

"I won't go." Zhou Chenyu looked at the old lady who was so worried and refused her thoughts.

Li Xiuju put down her bowls and chopsticks, looked outside through the crack in the door, and sighed helplessly:
"If you don't want to go, mother will have to go there herself."

Zhou Chenyu's hands trembled. He was so familiar with the bitter trick. How could the old lady know it?
"Okay, I'll go, can't I go?"

However, it doesn’t matter if you say it or not.

After Mrs. Li's hard work and a pitiful meal of torture, Zhou Chenyu was finally kicked out of the house after having breakfast the next morning, and embarked on the arduous journey of "thousands of miles to find a husband" alone. road".

After Zhou Chenyu had eaten his fill, he took in the cold wind and wandered outside the city gate like he should, risking the cold.

After a while, she came to a conclusion, "What kind of arduous journey is it to find a husband? I think I am full, warm, and lustful."

Zhou Chenyu chuckled. She didn't know whether it was God wishing her good luck, or it was just luck. When she was approaching the city gate, the long-lost sunshine fell on the road to the city gate.

She threw away the small wild flowers in her hand and ran to the waterside in small steps. Once again, she carefully observed the makeup she had carefully dressed up today. She smiled with satisfaction and headed straight for the familiar gate of the government office to block people.

She walked under the stone lion anyway, thinking that she would wait until Yang Xi came out at noon, but she didn't expect that as soon as she reached the front foot, she heard someone shouting from behind.

"Miss Zhou!" Xiao Qi jumped off the horse and ran towards her excitedly. When he saw her for the first time, his dark eyes lit up a little and asked: "Miss Zhou, are you here to see my master again?"

Seeing that he had no intention of hiding anything, Zhou Chenyu nodded and said with a smile, "Is he here?"

"That's natural! I'll pass it on to you right now." Xiao Qimao was about to run inside.

"Hey, no, no!" Zhou Chenyu called to Xiao Qi and stopped where he was, "Xiao Qi, I know Yang Xi must be very busy recently, so I won't disturb him for now."

"Miss Zhou, no matter how busy the master is, he is still a human being and must eat and sleep. He still has this free time."

Zhou Chenyu blinked and smiled lightly: "Then when he finishes his work, you tell him that I will be here waiting for him."

Xiao Qi smiled innocently and nodded, "I will definitely tell the master, please don't worry, Miss Zhou!"
