Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 4
Seeing him go out, Li Kongzhu turned around and sat on the old canopy bed.

As soon as I sat down, the bed "creaked" and shook.I couldn't help muttering in my heart, "It's really shabby."

His eyes scanned the room.In a place less than twenty square meters apart from a cabinet in one corner and a small black table with broken legs by the window, there are no other unnecessary decorations.

The eyeballs turned and moved up again.I saw that there were cracks as thick as arms on the muddy wall, and even some of the thatch that covered the canopy above the head had begun to turn black and stale.I don't know how such a house can withstand the four seasons of thunder, rain and winter snow.

Will be finished.Someone came.

With the sound of pushing the door, the visitor stepped in with a light smile and a cotton skirt in one hand, "The third brother is boiling water. It's almost winter, so don't catch cold. You are hungry. Just in time to cook a bowl of noodles for you."

The person who came was a beautiful woman in her twenties.On a face as round as a jade basin, there was a warm smile.Although it is a single eyelid, but the eyes are big and round.The small upturned nose and the somewhat fleshy lips give people a very pleasing image.

Li Kongzhu lowered his eyes and thought for a while, but he didn't know if it was the eldest or the second in the family.It was really Yuanshen's dislike for the person he married, and even what the family was like, and he didn't want to hear what her mother had to say, so he went crazy crying and making noises, looking for death and life.

Mrs. Zhang put the bowl on the small black table with missing legs, and came over as if to reach out to help her, "You are a bride, you must not be hungry. Although our family is not rich, but the third child is a loving person." Yes, he asked his second brother to speak for this side, and I helped cook it."

Li Kongzhu bowed his head in embarrassment, but he found out her identity.He thanked her in a low voice, got up and went over, and sat on the long stool. He glanced at her 'shyly', pretending to be embarrassed to move his chopsticks.

Mrs. Zhang's eyes flickered, and she said: "After all, it came from a rich family. Look, it's a gesture of every gesture. How can we country people learn it!"

Li Kongzhu smiled calmly, stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of noodles in a slow manner, and put it into his mouth gracefully.The eating image is extremely beautiful, and there is not even a trace of sound.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang at the side saw a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes almost imperceptibly.With a hearty laugh, "I fried a poached egg and it's at the bottom of the bowl. Come here, I'll take it out for you."

After all, he took the chopsticks with his hands and started to stir the bowl.

Li Kongzhu inadvertently raised his eyebrows.Watching her stir a bowl of noodles until a lot of soup overflowed, and smashing the fried egg, she still watched shyly.

Mrs. Zhang put the egg on her face, glanced at the person sitting upright from the corner of her eyes, feeling a little doubtful in her heart.Don't you have to sell yourself to death one or two days before getting married?The news I heard was also aggressive and unreasonable, how could I be so calm?

"Oh, the egg is broken. How about I make a new bowl?"

Li Kongzhu shook his head, "Don't bother the second sister-in-law, but I'm not hungry."

"Water is here!" A cold voice came in.

Li Kongzhu got up quickly, pretending to be at a loss, wringing his fingers with a blushing face, and moved lightly with lotus steps.He lowered his head and muttered, "When... family."

A trace of impatience flashed in Zhao Junyi's eyes, and when the corner of his eyes reached Zhang Shi, he hummed lightly.Put the basin on the small black table.

"Oh, the third child is back. It's really awkward, it seems that I'm in a hurry!" As she said, she covered her mouth pretending to understand and laughed.Turning his eyes to the bowl of rotten noodles, he stretched out his hand and took it over, "I'd better leave quickly, so as not to disturb you here. This noodle is also rotten. If the third sibling gets hungry later, tell my sister-in-law, I'll do it again for you!"

"Thank you second sister-in-law." Li Kongzhu bowed his knees to salute her.Mrs. Zhang smiled meaningfully, and walked out of the room quickly.

From outside, a loud voice came in, "What's the matter? Is there a trouble...why is the egg broken like this?"

Li Kongzhu smiled lightly, shook his head, and asked his husband for a towel.

Zhao Junyi glanced at her coldly, turned around and went to the cabinet to take out a brand new pair and threw it over.

Not used to using it with others?Well, she didn't like it either.

Li Kongzhu shrugged imperceptibly, and quickly washed off the powder on his face.Wipe off the side of the face, revealing the delicate and beautiful plain face inside.

Zhao Junyi saw that her face was clean and fair after washing off the makeup, her face was like a goose egg, and her eyes were like autumn waves.The nose is straight, the lips are as red as vermilion, they really have a seven-point color, so it's no wonder that they have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

I felt contempt for a while.At this time, Zhao Jinsheng, who is currently the head of the Zhao family outside, called out, "Third brother, come over later and have a drink with the three of you."

"I know, bro!"

Zhao Junyi said calmly, in a blink of an eye, he saw that the people had already taken care of them.Walked over, took the water basin and went out of the house again.

Seeing this, Li Diaozhu, who was looking for a place to hang a towel, frowned nonchalantly, and dusted the towel directly on the side bed frame of the canopy bed.
