The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 21
"It's time to eat." In the warm kitchen, Su Xiazhi put a few dishes of food on the floor table, and then yelled at the door of the main room. No.

After the door opened and closed, Min Lansheng walked in slowly, and saw Su Xiazhi sitting on the bench, her face was still red, leaning over on the bench opposite her, there was only a small dining table between them, not far away .

There was a large plate of freshly cooked dumplings on the table, all puffed up like toads, beautifully wrapped!Several kinds of meat were cut into slices and placed on a plate, with a small bowl of sauce placed beside it.

There are not many varieties, but the quantity is large enough that two people can't finish it.

"Your workmanship is good." Min Lansheng himself felt strange. When he was in the room just now, he was shy and didn't know how to face this woman, but now the two of them are sitting face to face, but he is at peace in his heart. One calm.

"Let's eat." Su Xiazhi smiled and handed over a pair of chopsticks, but Min Lansheng didn't take it.

A white palm like jade stretched out, and Min Lansheng gently wiped off the flour on her lips, which was left by Su Xiazhi touching her mouth several times with a smirk when she was making dumplings.

"You...don't bully me all the time, so I won't...go crazy." His slender fingers and soft skin touched Su Xiazhi's lips lightly, making her feel comfortable.

"Hehe!" Laughter came out, Miss Su herself felt that her laughter was not so clever: "Eat it, I chopped a lot of minced meat, if it is cold, it will make people tired of eating."

Picked a few dumplings from the plate and put them in the bowl, Miss Su handed them to Min Lansheng first.

"Yeah." Taking the bowls and chopsticks back, both of them shut up and ate with peace of mind.

The embers of the fire in the stove flickered on and off, reflecting the two people's cheeks flickering on and off, the kitchen was warm, and there was a faint mist on the roof.

From time to time, Su Xiazhi picked up a few dumplings or put sauced meat dipped in seasoning sauce into Min Lansheng's bowl, and he ate them all without hesitation, only occasionally peeking at the opposite side from the bowl he was holding. her...

No one spoke, even if their eyes met, they tied a knot in the air and then staggered away.

The meal actually gave the two people a lingering taste, and there was an inexplicable warmth in each other's hearts.

After dinner, Min Lansheng did not leave, but stood at the door of the kitchen and watched Miss Su clean up the dishes swiftly.

"There are still ten steamed buns. When you eat them, reheat them before eating. Don't be lazy." Su Xiazhi's subordinates were working, and instructed Min Xiucai.

"Ah."

"I've cut up the sauced meat and put it on the top of the cupboard. If you think it's too bland, just dip it in the sauce and eat it."

"Ah."

"That pumpkin is frozen, you have to eat it early, it won't fit."

"Um"

"..."

When Su Xiazhi said something, Min Lansheng by the door snorted like a mosquito, not knowing what he was thinking.

"That's it..." Wiping off the water stains on her hands, Su Xiazhi put down the rag, and stroked her drooping hair with her hands: "I should go. The leftovers are enough for you to eat for more than ten days."

"I don't know how to do anything." Min Lansheng raised her head, stopped Su Xiazhi from walking to the door, and said softly.

"Yes." Miss Su nodded in agreement.

"My family is poor."

"En." Miss Su continued to nod, but looking at the dilapidated houses of the two families, she felt that they were the right family.

"I have a reputation and a scholar."

"..." Su Xiazhi leaned against the door frame, noncommittal.

You are a scholar who is useless, even if you are a scholar, you can't lift your shoulders or lift your hands, you have a fart!
This word only swayed in her heart for a while, she would not say it.

"I..." Min Lansheng tried hard to think about his own strengths, but after thinking about it, he can't farm or make money, so the strengths are really pitifully few.

"I was born beautiful!" Finally, he remembered something, so he blurted out.

Then, both of them froze.

"Haha! Don't be shy..." Su Xiazhi laughed so hard that her stomach ached, and she burst into tears from laughing with her mouth open.

Min Lansheng's face was red at first, and then turned snow white.

That's right, he's a man, and it's really useless to talk about his beauty!

Lowering her head, she stepped out of the blocked kitchen door, and Min Lansheng shut her mouth.

"Scholar." A pair of arms embraced him from behind with great pity, Su Xiazhi put her face on his thin and thin back and rubbed it gently, then said softly: "Please ask a matchmaker to come to my house to propose marriage... I marry you..."

"Pro... pro..." Min Lansheng silently repeated these two words in her heart.

On the back was the fool's warm and soft body, but another woman's unparalleled beauty appeared in his mind.

Now, you are not married yet, I... am I going to get married?

Asking this question made Min Lansheng feel distressed.

He was not reconciled.

He is not reconciled to spending his life in hopelessness, he likes to see the fool busy in the yard, eats the unique meals she cooks, and even...he likes to be molested by her!

However, the fool is a fool who doesn't know how to read and write, and she probably doesn't know the boudoir interests of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting... Then he won't have the sweetness of the red sleeves he yearns for...

And wouldn't his days in the future change from being boring now to having someone eat and sleep with him?

"Marriage proposal..." Unknowingly, Min Lansheng uttered these two words dreamily.

The soft body on his back became stiff in an instant, and the two small hands around his waist also slowly opened, hanging down little by little...Looking down at the arm that was about to slip away from him, Min Lansheng reluctant!
At that moment, there was only one thought in his mind: Idiots don't want me anymore...

"Fool!" Min Lansheng quickly grabbed the palm that was about to escape from his waist, and held it tightly. He knew that as long as he let go, the woman behind him would move away from him and never look at him again.

"Scholar, let go." Su Xiazhi's voice was as flat as water, rare and cold.
