Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 3: What a ridiculous guest!

"Kaiwu, it's me, your Aunt Zhou." A female voice responded.

Zhang Kaiwu put away his gun, opened the door bar, and she slowly walked in.

This is a young girl, who looks to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, but she has her hair combed like a woman and a wooden hairpin in it.

She is indeed fair-skinned and beautiful, about 1.63 meters tall.

Big eyes, oval face, small mouth, and a slightly haggard look. You can tell at a glance that he is malnourished.

The lady in the village, Lao Zhang’s dream lover, Zhou Zhaodi.

He wore a black double-breasted shirt, a pair of baggy blue homespun trousers, and small cloth shoes.

She was obviously a grown-up girl, but she was dressed like a woman in a strange way, with dozens of patches all over her body.

When worn on her, it doesn't look drab at all, but instead reveals an intellectual beauty.

She was carrying an earthenware jar with difficulty.

She asked softly, "Kaiwu, have you eaten? I made some porridge, you can have some."

Because of her kindness.

Lao Zhang’s death was truly deserved!
Zhang Kaiwu glanced around and saw a few gossipy women whispering at the intersection outside.

My eyes glanced over here from time to time...

Even with your toes you can tell that what they are talking about is the young lady from the Zhou family.

"Oh, thank you."

For the sake of the young lady's reputation, he did not close the door.

In his eyes, the young lady from the Zhou family would get at least a 90-point score without makeup.

Get some rice and meat, take good care of it, and it will at least get a score of 92.

She has a gentle and virtuous personality, and a kind and generous character.

When Old Zhang died, no one came to pay their respects. Zhang Kaiwu felt that everyone in the village was waiting to see her die, so she cooked some porridge and brought it to him.

What a sentimental and righteous young lady.

Although it was also related to Lao Zhang's protection of her in the past, her character was also quite good.

You know, it is easy to add flowers to the icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

The most important thing is that she is also a dead end!
Zhang Kaiwu and she sat down in the main room, and he went to the pickle jar at the back and took out two pieces of pickles.

He handed her a piece, and the two of them drank the porridge with the pickled cabbage.

This porridge is made with a little bit of millet and wild vegetables, with more wild vegetables and less millet.

After drinking two big bowls in a row, the clay pot was empty. It felt like I hadn't drunk anything at all, as I was just full of water.

It is June now, a time of famine in Peking, and this porridge alone is quite decent.

At least there is rice!

Zhou Zhaodi only drank one bowl and then stopped.

Zhang Kaiwu's ears and eyes had become much sharper, and he could clearly hear the slight growling of hunger in her stomach.

Ugh!
This Zhou family lady is really...

He poured some more cold boiled water and rinsed the jars and bowls. Each person drank half a bowl of the water used to rinse the jars.

Zhou Zhaodi packed up her things and quickly rinsed the jar and two bowls with water.

She said, "Kaiwu, come to your aunt's house for dinner tonight and I'll make you some pancakes."

Zhang Kaiwu: “…”

How can I eat when you're like this?

Thinking of Lao Zhang's dying cry...

"Marry Miss Zhou back..."

“She’s not easy!”

"Marry......"

Shivered.

Zhou Zhaodi really has a hard life, just for these two bowls of porridge this morning.

With the system, I can still take care of her food and drink. He said quickly:

"Wait, I'll bring you something."

He went to the back room and opened the lid of the rice jar. There was a small bag of corn flour inside, about 7 or 8 kilograms. He stuffed the corn flour into Zhou Zhaodi's hand, and Zhou Zhaodi quickly refused, saying, "No, you still have to make a living."

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said, "I'm alone here too, and I'm too lazy to cook. Otherwise, I'll just team up with you."

Zhou Zhaodi said hurriedly: "People in the village will gossip. If you have nothing to do, just come to my place and have a bite. You don't have to give me anything!"

Seeing her panic-stricken look, it might be because she was a little too hasty and a little embarrassed.

The times are not right.

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said, "Okay, even if you don't accept my things, I still have to go to dinner tonight."

Zhou Zhaodi said hurriedly: "Okay! Okay!"

She smoothed her hair, straightened her clothes, picked up the jar, and ran away without looking back.

Zhang Kaiwu walked to the gate and saw those gossipy women still whispering at the intersection.

Maybe out of jealousy of her teaching?

Maybe it's because I didn't see the excitement...

When the young lady from the Zhou family came out, her clothes were so neat, and Zhang Kaiwu’s door was not closed?
Suddenly he thought of what Mr. Lao Lu said: A dog in the village started barking, and then other dogs started barking too...

It seems that Mr. Lao Lu has also lived in the countryside and has a deep understanding of this!

Looking at the bag of cornmeal on the table, I checked my own cooking skills, level one, 30/100.

I have been single for half my life, and I often make my own food and drink, but this is the only comment you give to me! ?

The porridge brought by the young lady of the Zhou family was useless even though it filled my stomach with water.

Although everyone is like this now, eating a full meal of water in the morning and a full meal of water in the evening.

Not a drop of oil or water.

It's all just to fool your stomach.

If it weren't for the busy farming season when you have to do heavy physical work, you wouldn't have any food for lunch.

The seven or eight kilograms of corn flour in his house can last him for half a month if he is frugal.

Zhang Kaiwu was not afraid. He sent food and fodder before his troops moved.

If you want to make a living, you have to build up your physical strength first and don't mess around.

I'm so hungry and dizzy, how can I have the energy to fight the goblins! ?
Uh-huh.

wrong.

How to beat a tiger! ?
With the system in hand and the family fortune left by Lao Zhang, he has nothing to fear.

Money is yours only when it is spent properly.

He poured all the corn flour into a wooden basin, threw in a little old flour, kneaded it with water, and let it ferment there.

He found a small jar from the kitchen, which contained the cooking oil that Lao Zhang was going to use to entertain the young lady from the Zhou family.

These are the things that are saved from our daily life. They are very precious and are hidden away tightly.

I have been accumulating it for two years, and it is about one kilogram.

I usually don’t want to eat it on weekdays, but on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, I would drop a little bit, three or five drops, into the cooked dishes!

Entertain guests.

Waiting for a woolen guest!

Can they afford to eat the filthy food in the village?
Now the problem is that the person is dead and the meat oil is not even finished.

The young lady from the Zhou family is still there.

Why bother?

He picked up the jar and poured it into the basin, pouring out two or three taels at once.

Putting down the oil can, he ran to the vegetable garden to get garlic sprouts, onions and other things.

Zhang Kaiwu prepared to make some scallion pancakes to add a little oil to his body.

Fill your stomach and put the leftovers in the space.

Anyway, the things you put inside are still and won’t go bad no matter how long it takes.

Just eat one when you are hungry, so you don’t have to worry about food every day and feel hungry all day long.

A tall and beautiful girl named Qin Huairu came to the vegetable garden. She was also wearing tattered clothes with patches all over her clothes.
