Hard work

Chapter 35 Pancakes
When the radish began to be dug out one after another, there was a heavy rain in the village.

The rain was the biggest that Lanhuaer had seen since she traveled over here. It was pouring abnormally and lasted for four days.

When the clouds began to weigh down, Lan Hua'er had already taken all the things hanging outside to the house.Some are well tanned, and some are half-dried.I also rushed to dig some larger radish, but they could only be piled up in the house, stacked on top of each other, and there was almost no place to stand.

Lan Huaer sighed on the side.

The house is still too small, and it leaks.

In those three or four days, she didn't go out, and stayed at home every day, thinking about how to catch the raindrops that leaked from between the thick thatch of the roof.

There is no need to fetch water.

When the water is not enough every day, move the bucket to the door in advance, and a large bucket can be picked up in a short time, which also saves the trouble of getting drenched when going out.

But the radish planted in front of the door was crackled by the rain every day, which worried Lan Huaer for a long time.

——Just worrying is useless, she can't go out and rush to dig everything up in this weather.

Fortunately, the food stored in the family is enough to eat, so she talks to the dog egg every day, which can be regarded as compensation for the increasingly rare communication between the siblings.

When it rained until the second day, she was sitting at the door watching the wooden barrels outside receiving water, when suddenly she saw someone from the yard pushing the door in.

Orchid was taken aback.

She would never go out in such weather.

She heard from a distance that some people went to the field, calling each other loudly, saying that they were worried about the situation inside.But someone actually came to her house, which made her feel very surprised.

Even if Gaihua had agreed to go home, she couldn't choose such a day.It's raining cats and dogs, how to walk the mountain road?
She was still in a daze, and the man had already yelled:
"Zhao, Miss Zhao."

The phrase "Brother Tiesheng" that came out of her mouth was choked back.

In the past, when Tiesheng called her, he always called her "Lan Hua'er" or "Sister Lan Hua'er" just like Gai Hua, but this time it was better, and he immediately alienated her.

Either way.

She then called out "Xu Dalang" as a greeting, and then looked at Tiesheng who was standing behind the rain curtain with a puzzled expression.

Tiesheng felt a little uncomfortable with her eyes, couldn't help stretching out his hand to scratch his head again, but forgot that he was wearing a straw hat to keep out the rain.With such a touch, the bamboo hat was crooked, and most of the head was almost drenched.

Lan Hua'er was looking at him with a serious face, but seeing him like this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Tie Sheng followed suit and smiled honestly:
"Sister Lan Hua'er laughed at me."

Lan Hua'er was taken aback, then sighed in her heart:
"Nothing. This is... is there anything wrong here?"

When she said this, Tie Sheng seemed to have suddenly realized.Just took two steps forward.

The wooden bucket filled with water was placed next to the door, and it was already half full.When Tiesheng walked over, he took a look at it, picked it up, and put it inside the room for Lan Huaer.

Only then did he speak:

"My mother asked me to bring pancakes."

pancake?

Lan Hua'er couldn't react for a while.

Tie Sheng raised his hand again and wanted to scratch his head.Then he remembered the bamboo hat he was wearing on his head, and quickly put his hands down again.

"I, can I enter the house?"

Who cares, it's not the birthday yet anyway, so it's not the day when men and women will fight against each other.People are not afraid of spreading gossip, but I am a loner, so what should I be afraid of.Lan Hua'er encouraged herself in her heart, stared at him for a long time before she nodded, and turned sideways to let Tie Sheng in.

Tie Sheng was also considered polite.

After entering the room, he put the bamboo hat and coir raincoat on the door, then carefully opened the skirt of the clothes, and took out a small cloth bag from his bosom.

Before the cloth bag was opened, Goudan, who had been sitting next to him, jumped over and shouted:
"It smells so good!"

Really delicious!

Even the face with orchids couldn't help but show anticipation and fanaticism.

It is the taste of fried food.

Tie Sheng's smile deepened, and he opened the cloth bag regardless of the water dripping from his body.

It's like a pancake.

In her previous life, Lan Huaer had eaten something similar, but she had forgotten whether it was called naan or something else.She remembered that she didn't like to eat it, it was too dry and hard.At this time, she saw something similar, but she couldn't help the saliva she was desperately secreting.

"Cake, cake...!"

She was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

Goudan's eyes were already fixed on the pancake.

Lan Hua'er managed to force herself to turn her eyes away, and when she met Tie Sheng's smile, she felt a little ashamed—to show such a greedy look in front of others.Just like Tie Sheng, he also said:
"Brother Tiesheng laughed at me."

Tiesheng laughed along with him, handed the pancakes to Lan Huaer, and said:

"Mom is afraid of the heavy rain. You and Goudan have nothing to eat at home. I just baked cakes at home, so let me bring them over."

Lan Hua'er looked down at the cake in her hand, then at Tiesheng, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Those people took the initiative to alienate her, and now they came to care about her and Goudan's life, so she didn't know whether to ignore it or what to do.

But then I thought about it, because I pushed the food delivered to my mouth out of anger, I always felt a little wasteful.

It has been more than half a year since she traveled here, and this is the first time she has seen this kind of food that can be chewed in her mouth.It's not that there is nothing to eat at home, but I can only cook some porridge all the time, where can I eat dry rice or pancakes.

Lan Huaer peeked at Tiesheng again.

Tie Sheng's expression was naive, with a smile on his face, not at all as if he wanted to set a trap to do something bad.

She turned her head to look at Goudan again.

Goudan's face, eyes, corners of mouth are full of expectations for the still warm pancake.

Lan Hua'er sniffled, with a sweet smile on her face:

"Then thank you, Mrs. Lin."

Tie Sheng scratched his head and smiled again.Lan Hua'er squinted at him, making him a little embarrassed.

He did remember Lan Hua'er's birthday, but he might not be able to come by then.His mother baked pancakes and asked him to bring them over when there was no one in the heavy rain. I don't know if Lan Hua'er can understand.

No matter what, Tiesheng felt that at least he couldn't bully Gaihua's little sister.
