reborn princess

Chapter 238
Ye Weilan said softly: "There is no wine gourd at home, and neither of us can carry the wine in the big altar, so..."

The down-and-out man lazily dropped the bamboo basket, lay down again, and said in a cold voice: "There is no wine, you won't use it in the future."

"Uh..." Ye Weilan knew that he liked wine, but she didn't expect him to say such words so unfeelingly, she couldn't help feeling depressed, but she still persuaded him softly. "Uncle, drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health..."

Before the words fell, the down-and-out man let out a low growl impatiently, "Get out!"

Ye Weilan was almost frightened by his voice, but fortunately the soul in her body did not match her appearance, otherwise she would really be scared away by him, she thought about it, and said to him: "Uncle, I'll get you a drink , don’t drive me away, okay? I’ll buy you ten years’ worth of Zhuyeqing!”

The down-and-out man turned over and turned his back towards her, but he didn't speak, obviously acquiescing to her thoughts.

In fact, he is too lazy to take the prey to the city to exchange for wine every day. He knows that there are three groups of people staring at him every day in the city. That nasty Yu Yu, if someone is willing to buy wine and deliver it to him, he would love it.

Seeing that he agreed, Ye Weilan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, took his wine gourd from the kang, turned around and went out, came to the main room outside, took out the money bag from her arms, handed it to him and said, "Brother Xihua, Please run an errand, go to the city to help buy some wine, remember, I want ten-year bamboo leaf green."

"What about you, Miss?" Du Xihua took the purse and wine gourd, but did not leave immediately, but looked at her worriedly.

"I'll tidy up here." Ye Weilan thought for a while and said again. "By the way, I'll buy some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. Anyway, you can buy some things for living at home, and buy some eggs."

Du Xihua nodded, expressing his understanding, took the pannier that was put here yesterday, took out all the things inside, put it on the dining table in the main room, and left with the pannier on his back.

Ye Weilan looked at the room covered in cobwebs, and felt a throbbing pain in her temples. She was really reluctant to let her hands do rough work, but she knew that she had to show her sincerity, so she found a wooden barrel , carrying a wooden bucket to the stream not far away to fetch water.

The water here flows down from the waterfall in Yuluo Mountain. The highest peak of Yuluo Mountain is covered with snow all year round. There is a waterfall on the mountain, which converges into a broad Cangling River, which connects the Canglan Dynasty and Beichen Kingdom. The area is divided, and this small stream is a tributary, the stream is extremely clear, and fish and shrimps are occasionally seen in the stream.

She was not strong enough, so she only fetched half a bucket of water, rested several times along the way, and then brought it back. She searched the house for a long time, but couldn't find a rag, only a few old clothes, and she didn't dare I can only contribute my own handkerchief. After soaking, wipe the tables, chairs and benches clean first, and then wipe the reed mat on the kang. Although the reed mat cannot be wiped too clean, the gaps It's full of dirt, but it's better than nothing.

After wiping all the furniture in the house clean, she fetched half a bucket of water. Generally, in rural houses, there are two stoves. One stove is used for heating the kang in winter, and the other is for summer. For cooking, the stove used for cooking in summer can’t burn the kang, otherwise it will get angry when you sleep.

She boiled a pot of water with the summer stove, and cleaned all the pots, pans, and spoons in the house. While cleaning her, she was thinking in her mind, after doing so much work today, how much milk must be soaked in her hands to restore them ?

Shen Luo ignored her and let her toss about in the room, as long as she didn't disturb his sleep.

Du Xihua's footsteps are very fast. Usually, he often helps his mother run errands, and often goes into the mountains. He knows the roads well, so he bought everything back in an hour, just in time for lunch.

At this time, Ye Weilan had already shed the feathers of the pheasant, and was just waiting for the seasoning he bought back. Seeing him come back, she took out the things in the back basket one by one, and found that he was really proper in handling things. I bought all the things like oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as a few vegetables, two sheep belly towels, a soap ball for washing hands, two drawer cloths, and a knife to paste the paper for the window, and said with a smile: "Brother Xihua , you are really thoughtful."

Du Xihua smiled shyly, and took out her money bag from her pocket and returned it to her, "It's just something for living at home, and it cost one or two or three dollars in total, and there are some silver coins and some copper coins in it. "

Ye Weilan took the money bag over, stuffed it into her bosom, and said, "Take a break first, I just boiled some water, in the teapot, you drink it, no matter how hard you work, clean the water tank in the corner, and fill it up again." Without water, there is nothing to do today.”

"I'm not tired, let's go brush now." Du Xihua refused to rest, but walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water, and then went out to fetch water with the bucket and pole.

Ye Weilan looked at his back and thought to himself, this family is right, they are all diligent.

Thinking in her heart, she took out the heavy wine gourd from the basket, walked into the inner room, stood by the kang and said softly: "Uncle, the wine has been brought back."

Shen Luo sat up, roughly snatched the wine gourd from her hand, uncorked it, and drank it with her head raised.

Ye Weilan said: "Uncle, drink slowly, I'll cook chicken and mushroom stew for you later."

She originally wanted to stew pheasant for him, but Du Xihua bought some fresh mushrooms back, so she changed her mind. The main reason is that it takes a long time to stew pheasant, not as short as making chicken stew with mushrooms.

Shen Luo didn't care about her, just leaned against the cold wall, pouring hot wine into his mouth alone.

Ye Weilan went out, she had already cleaned the kitchen knife and the chopping board, the kitchen knife was still polished on the rim of the vat, she took the pheasant out of the water basin, put it on the chopping board, and put it on the chopping board. The meat was picked off.

She only learned cooking skills when she was studying in the Royal Women's Academy in her previous life, and she was a little handy, but because she was careful enough, she didn't cut her hands.

When Du Xihua came back from fetching water, she washed some mushrooms, shredded them on a plate, and then asked Du Xihua to help her light the fire. She stepped on a small stool and stood by the stove. In the cleaned earthen pot, the vegetables are started to cook.

Putting a large plate of stewed chicken and mushrooms on the dining table, she cooked some porridge with corn stubble, put it on the dining table, washed her hands, walked into the inner room, and said softly: "Uncle, I will You cooked a dish, it’s on the table, there’s porridge in the earthen pot, water in the teapot, after you eat, just put the dishes and chopsticks, I’ll wash it up for you tomorrow, I’m leaving first.”

After finishing speaking, she turned to leave, but heard Shen Luo's deep and ruthless voice behind her, "I will not teach you martial arts! Never!"

Ye Weilan couldn't help being a little disappointed, but she turned around with a smile as if nothing had happened, "It doesn't matter, even if you never teach me martial arts, it doesn't matter, you are my uncle, and I am willing to take care of you."

After saying these words, she walked out quickly, and asked Du Xihua to take the empty back basket by the way, so that she could bring things tomorrow.

Shen Luo looked at the door of the inner room that was already empty, and didn't know what was going on in his mind. When Ye Weilan and Du Xihua walked away, he suddenly climbed off the kang unsteadily, stood At the door of the inner room, looking at the hot food on the dining table in the main room, his eyes were a little red.

It had been three years and no one had cooked him a meal like this.

A voice deep in his heart told him not to accept such kindness, if he accepted it, he would gradually forget the woman he loved the most, but his legs were uncontrollable, he walked to the dining table, sat down, picked up Chopsticks, took a bite of food.

Du Xihua who was walking on the road asked curiously: "Miss, do you want to learn martial arts from him?"

"En!" Ye Weilan nodded. "I want to protect my mother!"

"I also want to protect my mother!" Du Xihua said sullenly. "If I knew martial arts, no one would dare to bully my mother."

Ye Weilan turned her face and glanced at him, the bruise on his face hadn't receded, "The wound on your face was left to protect your mother?"

Du Xihua raised his hand and scratched his scalp angrily, "I haven't been beaten before. I was beaten up by a bastard in our village. My mother even paid for it and sold the house for it. Let the three of us, brothers and sisters, come out and sell ourselves as slaves."

Ye Weilan raised her hand and patted his arm, "You follow me and work hard, and sooner or later I will help you feel proud and take revenge!"

Du Xihua's eyes lit up after hearing her words, "Really?"

"One word from a gentleman, one whip!" Ye Weilan said firmly. "But you have to listen to me, you have to do whatever I tell you to do."

Du Xihua nodded heavily, "Yes!"

When I got home, I was still far away from home, and I saw Song Jiayin sitting at the door with a small mat, holding a flower frame in her hand, embroidering two stitches with her head down, then she looked up and saw the two of them When she came back, Song Jiayin casually threw the flower frame in her hand into the sewing basket at her feet, stood up and rushed over with an anxious expression on her face.

"Why did you come back? You worried me to death? I thought you were abducted by this stupid big man?" As she spoke, she gave Du Xihua a hard look and complained. "What's the matter with you? Take the lady out for so long? I don't know if the lady will worry?"

Du Xihua raised his hand to scratch his scalp aggrievedly, but he didn't make any excuses.

"Okay, Miss Jiayin, don't scold him. I helped my uncle clean up the house today and cooked him a meal, so I came back late." Ye Weilan interceded with Du Xihua.

"Ah?" Song Jiayin couldn't help but turn pale with shock, she reached out to grab Ye Weilan's little hand and looked down. "Miss, you are too nonsense, your hands are so delicate, how can you do rough work? No, if I go again tomorrow, I will go with you, and I can't let you do rough work again."
