Divine Doctor Poison Concubine: Miss Waste

Chapter 165 Silence is better than sound (2)
Xia Qingge smiled slightly: "I'm looking to see if you can chop firewood, it seems that you are quite proficient."

"Hehe..." Yun Zheng laughed softly: "I am different from those children from aristocratic families. I have done a lot of heavy work since I was a child. What is chopping firewood?" two.

"Yeah, for the sake of your good performance, you must be a good son-in-law in the hall and in the kitchen in the future."

Yun Zheng paused with both hands, and said puzzledly: "These words seem to describe women, right?"

"Whoever said that it describes women, the same is true for men."

"As the old saying goes, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. It has never changed since ancient times. If you spread your words like this, I'm afraid it will arouse the public opinion of those literati and refined scholars within a day."

Xia Qingge sneered. Her words were naturally shocking to the patriarchal ancient society, but she felt that Yun Zheng shouldn't have such thoughts.

He replied sullenly: "Forget it, just pretend that I didn't say these words, so as to save those self-righteous poor scholars from bombarding me repeatedly, and I'm afraid they will drown me if they spit on me."

"Hehe." Yun Zheng couldn't help laughing out loud: "There's nothing wrong with what you said. The person who said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen is wrong. All people are born equal. Why should women be born to be in the kitchen, but men should be born to be in the kitchen?" Is it laziness and sitting on wine and meat? It's not fair."

Xia Qingge didn't expect Yun Zheng to have such words to say, she was secretly relieved in her heart, and said that for a talented person like him, the epiphany of wisdom naturally surpasses everyone, and it really is!

Mischievously raised the three big tomatoes in his hands: "For your remarks to please me, I will wash this dish."

In the past, no matter whether she was Xia Qingge or Bai Xue, she never cooked in person. The only dish she could cook was tomato scrambled eggs. I've been in the kitchen, so it's a great way to save face by agreeing to wash the vegetables.

At this moment, Yun Zheng seemed to notice what she was holding in her hand: "Red fruit? Is this edible?"

Xia Qingge's eyes were like spring, and he smiled slightly: "Of course it is edible, not only edible but also delicious."

After she finished speaking, she didn't delay standing here, turned around and went into the kitchen to wash the vegetables.

After chopping the firewood, Yun Zheng carried a pile of dry firewood into the kitchen. Just then, a woman in a blue coarse shirt came in.

"Zheng'er, I heard voices from this side when I said it was a long way away. It turned out to be a visitor." The woman's complexion was red, her skin was slightly dry, and when she smiled, the corners of her eyes were slightly wrinkled. Xia Qingge looked back He took a look and nodded politely.

Yun Zheng put the dry firewood in his hand in front of the stove, and was about to light the fire, when he stood up following the woman's voice.

"Aunt Zheng, this is not a guest, but the owner here." He looked at Xia Qingge with a smile on his face.

Aunt Zheng was slightly startled, and then smiled honestly: "It turns out that the young lady is here. Don't blame the young lady. I have never seen the young lady before, so I thought it was a guest."

"It's okay, it's not a problem. It sounds weird. If Aunt Zheng doesn't mind calling me Qing Ge." Xia Qingge smiled at the corner of her mouth, she looked kindly, she glanced at Yun Zheng and continued. Said: "Yun Zheng and I are friends, so you don't have to see me when you see me."

After hearing Xia Qingge's words, Aunt Zheng's red face was full of disbelief. She had been working here for a few days, but she had never met the lady boss. She only heard Yunzheng's mother tell her that the lady boss here She is as gentle as water, has a stunning appearance, and is very friendly and generous to the two of them. She still doesn't believe it in her heart, thinking that the woman Yun Mu described is like a Bodhisattva.

But today, when she saw Miss Dongjia, after chatting with her for a few words, she just believed Yun Zheng's mother's words. Yun Zheng's mother was right. Glancing at Yun Zheng and looking at Xia Qingge, Aunt Zheng was secretly delighted. It would be great if the hostess could take a fancy to Zheng'er.

"Miss, how can you do this rough work, let the women do it."

As she said that, she rolled up her sleeves and planned to help Xia Qingge wash the vegetables.

Xia Qingge shook his head and stopped: "No need, I want to try cooking by myself today. If there is nothing wrong, Aunt Zheng should go back to the backyard to take care of Auntie."

"Oh, that's fine." Aunt Zheng saw that Xia Qingge insisted, and it was hard to persuade her, so she turned to look at Yun Zheng: "Zheng'er, help Miss more."

"Well, I see." Yun Zheng nodded lightly, and then Aunt Zheng left in peace.

When there were two people left in the kitchen again, Yun Zheng squatted down and continued to light the fire. Xia Qingge glanced at him and said, "You invited this Aunt Zheng to take care of Auntie?"

Yun Zheng picked up the dry firewood and added it to the stove, nodded: "Well, Aunt Zheng and Aunt Liu often helped me and my mother when they were in the untouchable village, now that I think about it, I try to help them as much as I can in return gone."

Xia Qingge skillfully sliced ​​tomatoes, and smiled, "Well, now is the time for you to repay them. I remember someone once said to me that when you have nothing, the person who is willing to help you is your whole life." Everyone deserves to be grateful, so this is the truth that a friend in adversity sees the truth."

"You are right. Some kindness cannot be said, but it must be kept in mind." Yun Zheng replied in agreement.

Xia Qingge knew that he must be talking about helping him again, although her original intention of helping him was because she knew that Yunzheng would be famous and rich in the future, but she didn't want him to feel that he owed him her kindness.

After a short pause, Xia Qingge continued: "Someone once said to me that when you were poor, a person who was as poor as you only had two taels of silver, but gave you one tael, and There is a rich man, the richest party, he generously gave you 100 taels of silver, although there is a big difference between one tael of silver and 100 taels of silver, you have kept these two kindnesses in your heart, but you must be clear about your Who should be more grateful, the poor are doing everything they can to help you, but the rich are just giving you alms! One is sincere friendship, which is hard to shake even if you are poor, and the other is charity rescue. Therefore, two kinds of people help in two different senses."

Yun Zheng lowered his head and stood quietly in place, as if he was listening very seriously. He held a wooden stick in his hand, and occasionally stirred the dry wood in the stove. After Xia Qingge finished speaking, he After a moment of silence, he turned to look at her sincerely.

"I understand what you mean. I don't think that your help to me is charity, but you are a rich man. I understand that what you said is to let me know a truth, but I also heard from what you said. If you are a rich man, you would not tell me about the truth, goodness and beauty other than this truth, so, in my heart, you are that poor man."
