The reborn peasant girl wants to turn over

Chapter 110

Li Xiuxiu has been living in Zeng Lao's house for two months.

Every morning when I get up at six o'clock, Mr. Zeng does a set of Taijiquan with one hand, and Li Xiuxiu reads a few chapters of "Tao Te Ching" beside him in a rhythmic manner. She is confused and basically doesn't understand what she reads, and she even doesn't understand some words. Will read, this makes Li Xiuxiu very frustrated.Li Xiuxiu couldn't start learning even if she wanted to, and she didn't dare to ask Mr. Zeng to explain it to her for a while, so she could only think about it by herself.

Usually, Mr. Zeng would practice Tai Chi until seven o'clock, and then the two of them would go back to their respective houses. Mr. Zeng would take a rest, eat something casually for breakfast, and would either stay in the house or under the tree in the yard throughout the day.

Li Xiuxiu makes breakfast and eats, and then spends the day reading and studying, making clothes, making headgear, reading and studying. She will turn on the "Thousand Miles" from time to time to stare at the house across the street, always paying attention to the traffickers When will it come.

On the third day of Li Xiuxiu’s stay, when Mr. Zeng was sitting under a tree in a daze, he accidentally lost his nose, smelled the smell coming from the kitchen, and then his eyes wandered too, and accidentally saw the food that Li Xiuxiu was about to bring to the room. When the pumpkin pie was soft, he coughed aloud.

When Li Xiuxiu saw Zeng Lao, she was polite, "Zeng Lao, I made some pumpkin pancakes, would you like to try some?"

Mr. Zeng slightly nodded his head speciously.

Li Xiuxiu cleverly took the pumpkin pie and turned under the tree. Since she only had a plate in her hand, she handed the plate over and put it on the table, saying, "I'll get you a pair of chopsticks." Then she turned and went to the kitchen.

When she came out of the kitchen, it took only half a minute at most, but the tree was completely empty, no one was there, and the pumpkin pie on the table was gone.

Li Xiuxiu was startled, and immediately turned on the "Thousand Miles", and then heard Zeng Lao's voice eating with great relish in Zeng Lao's room, and said: "Well, she gave it to me, I didn't steal it. ,need."

Li Xiuxiu couldn't laugh or cry for a while, she didn't expect that Mr. Zeng, who usually had a cold face, had such a side, so she could only shake her head and put the chopsticks back into the kitchen.Fortunately, she had already eaten in the kitchen. Those pumpkin pies were overcooked and ready to be taken to the house for snacks.

When Li Xiuxiu was going to cook in the kitchen at noon, Mr. Zeng unceremoniously asked for a rent increase.

"Xiao Li, the rent has to go up."

Li Xiuxiu: Huh?This is the third day of staying!The rent is too fast to be changed, although she has no objection whether the rent should be raised or not.

"Reading + three meals a day." Zeng said succinctly.

Li Xiuxiu thought for a while, and asked cautiously, "Are you cooking three meals?"

"Yeah." Zeng Lao's face was still like a stone, cold and expressionless, and his emotions could not be seen from the drooping eyelids, as if he said a trivial thing, but in fact it was the first time in so many years that he relied on It was the landlord who bullied a big girl, and felt ashamed.

Li Xiuxiu thought of the words "old child", guessing that this old Zeng must be 60 years old, she said straightforwardly: "No problem, do you have any taboos when eating?"

Mr. Zeng: "No." After a pause, he added: "You can use the grain, oil, rice and noodles in the kitchen as you like." There is still plenty of grain, oil, rice and noodles in the kitchen.

Li Xiuxiu remembered that she didn't have the key to the lock on the door facing the street, so she took the opportunity to ask Mr. Zeng, "Look, can you give me the key to the door facing the street?"

Mr. Zeng looked up at her, and asked indifferently: "Are you making a condition with me?"

Li Xiuxiu felt quite pressured for a moment, and quickly waved her hands and said, "I'm not asking you for conditions, I just want to make it easier to get in and out."

Elder Zeng who was sitting under the tree was silent for a while, then got up and went back to his room, leaving Li Xiuxiu staring blankly.

Li Xiuxiu couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, only when Mr. Zeng didn't agree to give the key, and if he didn't give the key, he wouldn't give it up, and he would ask for it slowly later. When he was about to turn around and go to his room, Mr. Zeng came out again. Yes, he took a key in his hand and threw it directly on the table, "This is the key to the gate."

Li Xiuxiu stared, do you want to give her the key to the gate?It means that she can go in and out of the door at any time in the future, don't think about going through the door in her own house?
Zeng always looked at Li Xiuxiu like that, thinking that Li Xiuxiu didn't care about eating her a plate of pumpkin pancakes in the morning, and felt that this girl was kind-hearted, so he added: "It's not safe to go in and out through the door of your house."

If Li Xiuxiu, a big girl, always goes in and out by the door facing the street alone, and she is still so handsome, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary troubles after a long time, so Zeng Lao is reluctant to give the key for the safety of the tenant.

Never thought that this old man who always had a straight face would explain it to her. Li Xiuxiu was flattered for a moment, and before she could think of anything to say, Mr. Zeng turned around and entered the house, so this time the key was half-failed. After all, she Got the gate key.

From this day on, Li Xiuxiu cooks three meals a day for Mr. Zeng.

After a few days, Mr. Zeng ate very satisfactorily, and occasionally explained a few sentences from the "Tao Te Ching" to Li Xiuxiu. Li Xiuxiu always felt a sense of enlightenment when he heard it, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Mr. Zeng admired the place in his heart. He nodded and ignored her, letting her think slowly, but from the next day, the yellowed "Tao Te Ching" became "The Analects of Confucius", which is easier to understand.

Gradually, Li Xiuxiu realized that Mr. Zeng was still always expressionless, but he talked more when he treated her, and talked more about her. Of course, they were all about the words Li Xiuxiu read. Cook more carefully.

One day when Li Xiuxiu went out to send a letter to Zhou Xingshan, Mr. Zeng scanned the words on the envelope. For a moment, he felt that Li Xiuxiu's delicate face and Li Xiuxiu's skillful hands were in vain.So he found an excuse and asked Li Xiuxiu to remember something for him, after all his hands were not very convenient.

Li Xiuxiu sat under the tree and began to write earnestly. After writing a line, Mr. Zeng yelled to stop, and unexpectedly frowned once on that never-expression-face.

Old Zeng said with disgust, "It's too ugly!"

Li Xiuxiu: "." It was too straightforward, she felt that her face was flushed, it was too embarrassing.

Mr. Zeng threw a copybook to Li Xiuxiu, "One hundred words every day."

Still a brush!

Li Xiuxiu was in a daze, and felt that renting this house was simply a stroke of luck. She followed Mr. Zeng to learn traditional Chinese culture that she had never been exposed to before, and now she still has calligraphy to practice.She nodded gratefully, and promised to write [-] words a day with surprise on her face, double the direct task!
Old Zeng's mouth twitched slightly, what a fool!

Turned around and went back to his room.

　Xiuxiu is making progress step by step, and one day she will shine brightly, and Zhou Shaojie can't put it down, instead of constantly loathing her now.
