Ugly Man

The months of going out this time were the most thrilling experience in Lu Nanzhu's life.

Because of her childhood escape experience, she didn't feel much about it because of her parents' protection.

This time, she assumed the role of a "protector" and finally understood the hardships of her parents.

The winter days in the north are short, and Lu Nanzhu has already woke up before the sky is bright.

In the thin morning light, she turned her head to look at the sleeping people next to her.

Xia Qinyi nestled in her arms, quietly like a kitten, with a slightly bowed body, as if only her own arms could make her feel at ease.

The fat faces of some babies have turned into melon seeds.

The winter under the Tianshan Mountains was very cold. The charcoal fire in the stove burned all night, leaving only a little residual temperature on the kang.

Lu Nanzhu gently pulled out his arm, Xia Qinyi let out a soft "Uh", her eyelashes flashed, and she was about to wake up.

Lu Nanzhu wanted to let her sleep a little longer, so he hugged her body through the quilt, patted her hand gently, just like her mother coaxed her.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xia Qinyi's breathing to return to steady, and she fell asleep again.

The deer could not get up by tiptoe, pulled the quilt for Xia Qinyi, wore a coat and went to the kitchen, and put two pieces of silver charcoal into the stove. The connected hot kang would soon rise in temperature. She estimated that this amount was enough to burn. By the time Xia Qinyi slept until she woke up naturally.

Lu Nanzhu simply washes up, puts a specially bought fish basket on his back, and goes out.

This journey was toiled, even though she did her best, Xia Qinyi was still thin and a little haggard. This was an image of inner emptiness.

In Lu Nanzhu's heart, Xia Qinyi is lively and agile, and her watery eyes are shining with the light of wisdom. It shouldn't be her current quiet and delicate appearance. She decided to make up for Xia Qinyi.

Although I bought a lot of ingredients, they were marinated in sauce for storage.

Xia Qinyi used to have a noble status. It is good to eat these things once or twice, but after eating for a long time, she is afraid that Xia Qinyi will not be used to it.

The Tianshan Mountains are scarce in resources, and there is little game in the mountains this season. The only thing Lu Nanzhu can think of is the delicious fish at the bottom of the Tianshan Valley.

Coming to the edge of the cliff, Lu Nanzhu opened his arms, like a bird flying high, jumping off the cliff.

Easily fished a fat fish from the cold pool, and jumped to the entrance of the ice chamber several feet high.

I took two books on the shelf, put them in my arms, and bowed in a blank space: "Master, lend you two books to read."

After that, I walked to the entrance of the cave, looked up at the ice in front of me, and took a deep breath, like a tiger climbing a wall, leaping upward in a snake-like route.

With a "step", the abyss is already underfoot, Lu Nanzhu exhaled the turbid breath in his chest, looked at the sky, and went home.

Entering the yard, I saw Xia Qinyi wearing that fox fur cloak, standing at the door, holding the door frame with his left hand, looking anxious, looking around.

When Xia Qinyi woke up, she didn't feel cold, but it was actually warm under her body. Fan Licheng is like spring all the year round, and things like the fire wall and fire wall are northern characteristics. She habitually looks at her side.

empty.

"Fawn?"

Xia Qinyi called out, but got no answer.

You should know that Lu Nanzhu's five senses are very keen, even in the yard.

She was used to waking up every day, and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the deer.

He lifted the quilt, flipped his shoes, and didn't even put on a coat. When he left the door, he was forced back by a cold wind, so he tied the fox fur and went to the door to look around.

This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Lu Nanzhu.

There is still a distance between the two, only a dozen steps to the left.

Lu Nanzhu unexpectedly made a light effort, and after a short breath, he jumped to Xia Qinyi's front.

He raised his hand to tighten the cloak on her body, and said, "Why did you wake up so early? I thought I would sleep for a while!"

Seeing that there was only a white coat under the cloak, he took Xia Qinyi with his arms around the house.

"In the future, you are not allowed to dress like this and go out! The room is covered with ground dragons and fire walls, as well as warm ondol. The charcoal fire is enough. It doesn't feel cold. The outside is different. Carefully I am sick!"

These equipments were all repaired by Lu Nanzhu's father before he became seriously ill, and he is the only one in the village!

"Where have you been? I didn't see you when I woke up."

Lu Nanzhu removed the fish basket on his waist and shook it in front of the opponent, and said happily, "I went to the bottom of the valley. Yesterday, I cut the tofu and put it outside. I will bring in the frozen tofu and stew the fish for you. Soup, you must have never eaten it!"

After finishing speaking, he took out two books from her arms and handed them to Xia Qinyi: "Here, if you feel bored, just read the book. It's about to celebrate the New Year. When the spring comes next year, we will start practicing "Tian Mo Gong". You are now weak. , We have to make up for it."

Xia Qinyi's heart was touched. Before she could say anything, a cold wind blew by, Lu Nanzhu quickly pushed her into the room, and briskly said: "Hot water is ready, wait for me to call you in, outside It's cold, you stay in the house, and breakfast will be ready soon."

Lu Nanzhu opened the lid of the pot, and the warm water vapor rushed over his face.

She scooped up half a basin of hot water, mixed half of it with cold water, reached out to test the temperature, and put the basin behind the screen in the house.

"Saponins net cloth, there are all behind the screen, you wash first, I will cook breakfast."

On the stone table in the middle of the courtyard was a wooden board covered with cloth. It was opened, neatly stacked, and the squares of frozen tofu had been obtained.

Lu Nanzhu is like a shopkeeper serving food, smiling and holding the wooden board into the kitchen with one hand.

The southern climate does not have the conditions to make frozen tofu. Although frozen tofu is ordinary, Xia Qinyi must have never eaten it.

Lu Nanzhu feels a little proud when he thinks of his ability to provide the other party with a chance to "early taste".

Clean the fish, mix the noodles when boiling the water, boil the fish, and boil off the frozen tofu.

After Xia Qinyi finished washing and getting dressed, she wanted to sit down and read a book. As a result, a scent drifted in from outside. She was curious about the way the deer was cooking, and she opened the cotton curtain and walked out.

Lu Nanzhu had already kneaded the pancakes at this time, and was bending over and pasting them one by one on the edge of the iron pan.

The broken hair between his forehead hangs down, his delicate profile face, bright eyes, and a faint smile on his lips.

Xia Qinyi is a person with ten fingers that does not touch the sun and spring water, but looking at such a Lu Nanzhu, she is a little eager to try, thinking that if there is a chance in the future, she will also cook for the deer.

Lu Nanzhu turned his head and smiled slightly. In this harsh winter, Xia Qinyi seemed to see a blossoming scenery.

"The meal will be ready soon, so you can be sure you haven't eaten it."

Xia Qinyi sniffed, walked forward, and praised: "It smells so good~"

Lu Nanzhu closed the lid, revealing a mysterious smile.

In fact, her craftsmanship is very good. After the death of her father, her mother’s health is not good. She often cooks food. In order to supplement the mother’s body, she was very young and used the lack of ingredients at home to make a meal. A delicious meal.

She had made this stewed fish paste pancake before, but the ingredients at that time were not fish, but frozen tofu and cabbage.

In order to prevent Xia Qinyi from being wronged, Lu Nanzhu specially bought white flour and polished rice, but this cake would not be delicious if it were made of pure white flour.

She added some coarse flour in the white flour according to a certain proportion.

The sound of "gurgling" came out from the iron pan, and the smell of fresh fragrance in the air made people move their index fingers.

Put the pancakes on the plate, stew the fish into the basin, and make breakfast.

Lu Nanzhu served a small bowl of soup for Xia Qinyi, with a large piece of tender fish and a few pieces of frozen tofu.

The other party hadn't seen any delicacies, but looking at the milky white soup, he swallowed drooling while holding a soft cake on one side and crispy on the other.

"Taste~"

Xia Qinyi took a sip of fish soup first and praised: "It's so fresh~~"

Lu Nanzhu's eyes were bent into crescents, and he leaned his chin, recommending: "You can try tofu again!"

The frozen tofu with wind holes was soaked in the soup and added with a strong taste. After only one piece, Xia Qinyi's chopsticks couldn't stop.

The reaction of the other party exceeded Lu Nanzhu's prediction. Looking at Xia Qinyi, who is not very gentle, Lu Nanzhu's eyes are soft, and the curvature of his lips can't stop.

She just picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite, feeling that the taste in this memory was extraordinarily sweet.

Since the mother's death, she hasn't cooked a good meal for a long time.

One’s days are always more casual, and the best food is at grandma’s house, or during the period of recuperating at Lihua Qiushuilou.

"Little Deer~ This is the best meal I have ever had!"

Most of the frozen tofu entered Xia Qinyi's stomach. Lu Nanzhu looked at her so easily satisfied, and told himself over and over again in his heart that she must not be wronged any more.

When cleaning up the dishes, Xia Qinyi wanted to help, but Lu Nanzhu refused.

Listening to the sound of washing pots and dishes from outside, Xia Qinyi thought: If this is the case for a lifetime, it would be fine.

Lu Nanzhu was not idle for a moment, sweeping the yard, chopping wood, carrying water, and taking advantage of the midday sun to dry the bedding.

After lunch, I went to remodel the medical room.

She promised to teach the two little guys to study, grandma's house is too young, she plans to change the medical room into a temporary school.

With Xia Qinyi, she can "retire to the second line" with peace of mind. The cultural class is taught by Xia Qinyi. The calligraphy of the other party is also excellent. She teaches them some pharmacology and basic skills.

After working for most of the day, Lu Nanzhu not only didn't feel the slightest fatigue, he still had a smile on his face, and there was one more person. The yard room was no longer empty. After many years, it seemed to have the taste of home again.

The author has something to say: After writing this chapter, there are two points of laughter. The first is that I wrote the discus as a discus. When I proofread it, I laughed.

Besides, I suddenly had a big brain and wanted to write a farming essay.
