ugly man

The few months of going out this time can be described as the most thrilling experience in Lu Nanzhu's life.

She didn't feel much about the fleeing experience when she was a child, because she was protected by her parents.

This time, she took on 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 woken up before the sky is bright.

Taking advantage of the thin morning light, she turned her head to look at the sleeping person beside her.

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

The originally fat face of a baby has also turned into a melon-seeded face.

The winter at the bottom of the Tianshan Mountains is very cold. The charcoal fire in the stove burned all night, leaving only a little residual warmth on the kang.

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

Lu Nanzhu wanted her to sleep a little longer, so he hugged her body through the quilt, patted her hand lightly, imitating her mother's way of coaxing her.

Sure enough, not long after, Xia Qinyi's breathing became stable and she fell asleep again.

Lu Nanzhu got up on tiptoe, pulled the quilt for Xia Qinyi, put on his coat and went to the kitchen, took two pieces of silver charcoal and put them into the stove. When Xia Qinyi fell asleep, she woke up naturally.

Lu Nanzhu simply washed up, carried the specially bought fish basket on his back, and went out.

The journey was busy, even though she tried her best, Xia Qinyi still lost weight, and she was a bit haggard, which was a sign of inner emptiness.

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

Although I bought a lot of ingredients, they were all smoked and pickled for storage.

Xia Qinyi used to have a noble status, so it's okay to try these things once or twice, but after eating them for a long time, she was afraid that Xia Qinyi would not be used to them.

The resources of Tianshan Mountain are scarce, and there are few wild animals in the mountains this season. The only thing Lu Nanzhu can think of is the delicious fish at the bottom of Tianshan Valley.

When he came to the edge of the cliff, Lu Nanzhu opened his arms, like a bird flying high, jumped off the cliff.

I easily caught a fat fish from the cold pool, and with a single step, I jumped up to the entrance of the ice room several feet high.

He took two books from the shelf, put them into his arms, and bowed in the air: "Master, I will lend you two books to read."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the platform at the entrance of the cave, looked up at the cold ice in front of him, took a deep breath, and leaped upwards in a serpentine route like a tiger climbing a wall.

With a sound of "stepping", the abyss was already under his feet, Lu Nanzhu exhaled the turbid air 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 her left hand, looking around anxiously.

When Xia Qinyi woke up, she didn't feel cold, and it was warm under her body. Fanli City was like spring all the year round, and things like heated kangs and fire walls were northern characteristics. She habitually looked around.

empty.

"Little deer?"

Xia Qinyi called out, but got no reply.

You must know that Lu Nanzhu's five senses are very keen, and he can hear it even in the yard.

She has long been used to waking up every day, and the first thing she sees when she opens her eyes is the deer.

Throwing off the quilt, wearing shoes, without even a coat, went out the door, was forced back by a gust of cold wind, had no choice but to tie on the fox fur, and went to the door to look around.

This scene happened to fall into Lu Nanzhu's eyes.

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

Lu Nanzhu actually used lightness kung fu, and with a gasp, he jumped in front of Xia Qinyi.

Raising his hand to tighten the cloak around her body, he said, "Why did you wake up so early? I thought I would have to sleep for a while!"

But seeing that there was only a white coat under the cloak, he carried Xia Qinyi into the house with his arms around her.

"In the future, you are not allowed to go out dressed like this! The room is paved with earth dragons and fire walls, and there is a warm kang, and the charcoal fire is sufficient, so you don't feel cold. It's different outside, seriously sick!"

These equipments were repaired by Lu Nanzhu's father before he was seriously ill, and they are the only ones in the village!

"Where did you go? I didn't see you when I woke up."

Lu Nanzhu untied the fish basket from his waist, shook it in front of the other party, and said happily: "I went to the bottom of the valley, I cut the tofu yesterday and put it outside, I will bring in the frozen tofu later, and I will cook fish for you Soup, you must have never eaten it!"

After finishing speaking, he took out two books from his bosom and handed them to Xia Qinyi: "Here, if you feel bored, just read a book. It seems that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let's start practicing "Heavenly Demon Art" in the spring of next year. You are weak now. , make up for it.”

Xia Qinyi's heart was touched, before she could say anything, a gust of cold wind whizzed by, Lu Nanzhu hurriedly pushed her into the room, and said briskly: "Hot water is ready-made, I'll call it in for you later, outside It's cold, you stay indoors, breakfast will be ready soon."

Lu Nanzhu lifted the lid of the pot, and the warm water vapor rushed towards his face.

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

"Soap locust clean cloth, there is behind the screen, you wash first, I'll make breakfast."

On the stone table in the middle of the yard was a wooden board covered with cloth. When it was lifted, it was neatly stacked, and the square frozen tofu was ready.

Lu Nanzhu, like a waiter in a shop serving dishes, entered the kitchen with a smile and a wooden board in one hand.

The climate in the south is not suitable for making frozen tofu. Although frozen tofu is ordinary, Xia Qinyi must have never eaten it.

Thinking of his own ability to provide the other party with a chance to "try something new", Lu Nanzhu felt a little complacent and had some dark expectations.

Clean the fish, knead the noodles while boiling the water, put the fish in the water, and boil the frozen tofu slightly.

After Xia Qinyi finished washing and getting dressed, she wanted to sit down and read a book, but a scent wafted in from outside. She was curious about how Xiaolu was cooking, so she opened the cotton curtain and walked out.

And Lu Nanzhu had already made pancakes at this time, and was bending over to stick one by one to the edge of the iron pan.

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

Xia Qinyi is a person who doesn't stick to the spring water with her ten fingers, but seeing such a deer, she is a little eager to try, thinking that if she has the opportunity in the future, she will also cook for the deer.

Lu Nanzhu turned her head and smiled slightly. In this harsh winter, Xia Qinyi seemed to see the scene of a hundred flowers blooming.

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

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

Lu Nanzhu put the lid on the pot, revealing a mysterious smile.

In fact, her craftsmanship is very good. After her father passed away, her mother’s health was not good, and she was often the one who cooked. A delicious meal.

She has made this stewed fish paste pancake before, but at that time the ingredients 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 if this pancake was made of pure white flour, it would not taste good.

She mixes some rough noodles in the white flour according to a certain ratio.

The sound of "gurgling and gurgling" quickly came out of the iron pot, combined with the fresh fragrance in the air, it made people move their index fingers.

Put the pancakes on the plate, put the stewed fish into the basin, and the breakfast is ready.

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

The other party had never seen any delicacies from mountains and seas, but looking at this bowl of milky white soup, holding a soft and crispy pastry in his hand, he swallowed.

"Taste~"

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

Lu Nanzhu's eyes were bent into crescent moons, and leaning on his chin, he recommended, "Try tofu again!"

The frozen tofu with air holes is full of soup and has a strong texture. After tasting only one piece, Xia Qinyi couldn't stop her chopsticks.

The other party's reaction exceeded Lu Nanzhu's expectations. Looking at Xia Qinyi, who was not considered polite, Lu Nanzhu's eyes were soft, and the curvature of his lips could not be stopped.

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

Since her mother passed away, she hasn't cooked a proper meal for a long time.

The life of a person is always a bit casual, the best food is at Grandma Sun's house, or the days when he is recuperating in the Lihua Qiushui Building.

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

Most of the frozen tofu went into Xia Qinyi's stomach, Lu Nanzhu looked at her who was so easily satisfied, and told himself over and over 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.

Hearing the sound of washing pots and dishes from outside, Xia Qinyi thought: It would be fine if I just lived like this for the rest of my life.

Lu Nanzhu was not idle for a moment, sweeping the yard, chopping firewood, carrying water, taking advantage of the noon sun to dry the bedding in the sun.

After lunch, I went to renovate the medical hut again.

She agreed to teach the two little ones to read. Grandma Sun's house is too small, so she plans to turn the medical house into a temporary school.

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

After working for half a day, Lu Nanzhu not only did not feel the slightest tiredness, but also had a smile on his face. With one more person, the courtyard room was no longer empty. After many years, it seemed to feel like home again.

The author has something to say: After writing this chapter, there are two jokes. The first one is that I wrote the post cake as a discus. When I proofread it, I laughed a lot.

What's more, I suddenly had a big brain hole and wanted to write a farming article.
