playful peasant girl

Chapter 23 Cooking, Mrs. Lee

As soon as Xia Haoxuan saw the familiar place, Lingtai immediately became clear, "Wow, I'm finally home."

Xia Haoxuan obviously misses his hometown after being away for several months, he can't stop being happy for a moment, is this suffering from ADHD?

Mu Yuming also seemed very happy, for this peaceful small mountain village, it seems to be very suitable for him.

Pulling Xiao Haoxuan who was excited, "Let's clean up the house first, or there will be no place to put things when your sister moves in."

"Oh, that's alright." Xiao Haoxuan, who was pulled by Mu Yuming, was still excited and still jumping for joy.

Of course, regarding the matter of working, Mu Yuming could only make a move and follow Xia Haoxuan around.

After tidying up the living room, Xia Lan unloaded the luggage from the carriage, and was finally able to take a rest. After driving the carriage all the way, Xia Lan felt that she was so tired that she was about to fall apart.

Xia Haoxuan slept all the way, and Mu Yuming was the human mat. He was the most relaxed and energetic of the three.Xia Lan wanted to make the best use of her younger brother whose vitality index was five stars.

"Haoxuan is going to clean up the kitchen, cook some rice, and I'll cook later." Xia Lan assigned him.

"Obey, my lord." Xia Haoxuan mischievously gave Xia Lan the modern military salute she had taught, which was neither fish nor fowl, and Xia Lan was immediately amused, and her fatigue was relieved a bit.

"Okay, let's go to work." Xia Lan smiled.

Haoxuan went to tidy up the kitchen, only Xia Lan and Mu Yuming were left sitting in the living room, Mu Yuming hesitated for a while and thought it would be better to help Haoxuan cook.

"Well, shall I help Haoxuan with the cooking?" Mu Yuming said a little anxiously.

"You know how to cook?" Xia Lan was very suspicious. It seemed that every time the young master asked him to do something, he would not get well.

"No, but I can learn. It must be easy to light a fire." Mu Yuming was a little shy, yes, shy.

Is it easy to start a fire?Is it easy to learn how to make a fire?Xia Lan expressed her firm disbelief in this, thinking that when she first passed through, she lit a fire for the first time, but the fire was not lit, but it made a whole room full of smoke, causing others to think her house was on fire. Lan still didn't like the job of lighting a fire, and would hand it over to Xia Haoxuan when necessary.

Regarding the fact that Mu Yuming wanted to set the fire on fire, Xia Lan said that I will wait for you to make a fool of yourself.

And Mu Yuming was very annoyed that Xia Lan didn't believe in him, which made it clear that he doubted his IQ and hands-on ability.

However, when Mu Yuming really tried it, he realized that lighting a fire is also a technical job.

Mu Yuming never knew that it was so difficult to make a fire. When he was so smoky that he couldn't open his eyes, as soon as he opened it, he was so smoked that he cried. In the end, it was Haoxuan who helped him make the fire. Whether the fire was alive or not He thought it would be easy to burn now, but,
"Brother Yuming, the fire is too small"

"Brother Yuming, the fire is too big, too big, let's make it a little smaller."

"Brother Yuming, put the firewood back a little bit"

"Brother Yuming..."

Finally, when Mu Yuming was about to collapse, Xia Haoxuan saved his spirit from about to collapse in time.

"Brother Yuming, the heat is just right now, keep working hard." Xia Haoxuan did not forget to encourage him.

Mu Yuming felt that Haoxuan's voice at this time was the best he had ever heard, like the sound of nature.

After Xia Lan took a short break, she selected the vegetables and prepared them for frying.As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw a man with a black face, it wasn't Mu Yuming, it was that one, it was really embarrassing for the young master.

"Yu Ming, I want to cook, why don't you ask Haoxuan to light the fire." Xia Lan hesitated and said.

"It's okay, I can cook, you can cook." Mu Yuming resolutely rejected Xia Lan's kindness.

Looking at Mu Yuming's big black face, Xia Lan didn't insist, but just held back a smile and endured it very hard.

After the fried dishes were finished, Xia Lan asked Haoxuan and Mu Yuming to wash up and eat.

"Ah!" The scream came from Mu Yuming.

He is handsome and handsome, how could the handsome young master of the Mu family be this gray-faced, gray-faced... He finally understood why Xia Lan would look at him from time to time while cooking, with a strange expression on his face, and he thought he had mastered the cooking process It's not good.The most hateful thing is that none of Xia Haoxuan and Xia Lan reminded him.

Mu Yuming glanced at the siblings resentfully, and washed his face clean with resentment.

"After all, I'm an outsider, and I can't compare to these brothers and sisters, who bully me together."

Mu Yuming himself didn't realize that he was becoming more and more casual in front of Xia Lan. What these words said made Xia Lan feel that he had committed a serious crime.

"Alright, alright, let's have dinner. Didn't you tell Haoxuan to set the fire back then, and you didn't follow me? It's useless to regret now."Xia Lan comforted her.

Thinking of the arrogance in Mu Yuming's eyes when he first met while selling himself, is this a bit arrogant and awkward master the same person?
After dinner, Xia Lan packed up the tableware, cleaned up the yard thoroughly, and cleaned off the dust in the wing room. After a while, it was dusk.

"Yu Ming stay at home, Niu Niu and I are going to visit the old folks, remember not to let others see you, among other things, just my lonely sibling taking in a man like you will damage my reputation , even though I don’t care, in the end, one more thing is worse than one less thing.”

After exhorting Mu Yuming, Xia Lan took Haoxuan to Uncle Liu's house with a green cloth in his arms.

I still remember that when Uncle Liu drove her to the town in a bullock cart, he felt sorry for her loneliness and didn't receive any money. Even though his family was not rich, he could help Xia Lan and his brother as much as possible.This kindness, Xia Lan will never forget, she is not a person who does not know how to repay her kindness.Therefore, every time she came back from the county, she would always bring some small gifts to Uncle Liu, which was also considered her kindness.

Through the courtyard gate, Xia Lan saw that the lights of Uncle Liu's house had been turned on.Knocked on the door.

"Uncle Liu, are you at home?"

"Who is it? It's so late?"

The sound came from the house.

"Squeak-" the courtyard door opened.

"Uncle Liu, are you still asleep?" Xia Lan asked with a smile,
"Oh, it's Xiaolan, you're back, please sit in the room." Uncle Liu saw that Xia Lan, who hadn't seen him for a long time, was very enthusiastic.

"I left in such a hurry this time that I didn't have time to prepare a gift for you. Don't be too disgusted with this piece of cloth. I'll save it for two sets of clothes."

Seeing that Xia Lan brought another gift, Uncle Liu sighed, "Look at what your child said, I will be satisfied if I can come to see you. Even if you bring a gift, it's not easy for you to bring a cow by yourself."

Xia Lan chatted with Uncle Liu for a while.

Mu Yuming was alone at home. After waiting for a while, he didn't see Xia Lan coming back. He heard a voice at the courtyard door. He thought it was Xia Lan coming back. He listened carefully but it didn't sound like it, so he found a place to hide.

"Hey, why is the light turned on at the little bitch's house? Didn't he come back?" This person is Xia Lan's superb aunt Li Shi.

"Is anyone there?" Mrs. Li pinched her nose and asked in a changed voice.

He didn't hear any movement in the room, "Could it be that no one is here?" Mrs. Li didn't change her previous bad habits, and started thinking badly again.

Pushing open the courtyard door, I poked my head and looked for a long time, "Sure enough, the little bitch is not here, I wonder what good things I brought back from the city, hehe".

Xia Lan brought back a bundle of snacks that was still in the living room, and there were more than ten taels of silver in it. Li's eyes were sharp, and she saw it at a glance. She ran to open it, and when she saw the silver inside, her face turned into a flower with a smile. While stuffing it into his arms, he didn't forget to put some snacks in his mouth, "The food in the city is delicious, it's really cheap Xia Lan bitch."

Mu Yuming hid himself, watched for a long time and figured out that this was a familiar thief who knew Xia Lan, and he really ruined the soft incense made by Xia Lan, what should we do?I can't go out by myself.

Mu Yuming had a flash of inspiration, yes.He picked up a small stone and hit Li Shi fiercely.

"Who? Who plotted against my mother? Come out to my mother." Li Shi was startled, and no one paid attention to her, "What the hell?"

Mrs. Li was beaten again as she spoke, "Who? Come out to my old lady."

The candles in the room were blown out by the breeze passing through the hall. Li Shi was already guilty of a crime, but Mu Yuming plotted twice, and his heart became even more suspicious. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, so he turned and ran outside.

Mu Yuming came out from the dark, looked at the baggage on the table, those few snacks were really a pity.

After a while, Xia Lan and Haoxuan also came back, and Mu Yuming pointed out the baggage on the table to Xia Lan.

"I was robbed just now, an old woman scolded you."

Xia Lan knew it was Mrs. Li as soon as she heard it, and she thought she was finally at peace in the past two years, "It seems that I still need to clean up, so I should clean up and go to sleep earlier."

Seeing Xia Lan's unsurprised look, and not knowing whether it was the old woman or herself that Xia Lan was talking about, Mu Yuming was puzzled.

After a tiring day, the three of them quickly fell asleep after packing up their things.

In the dead of night, only the stars in the sky are blinking.
