Lin Qiye noticed that his sister always spoke with a sense of hostility, not only to him but also to Brother Gu.

"Um, sister, Brother Gu and I rushed all the way back and didn't eat anything on the way. Is there anything to eat at home?"

Lin Jiuyue rolled her eyes at Lin Qiye.

"If you want to eat, make it yourself!"

Lin Qiye curled his lips.

Just do it yourself, it’s not like you don’t know how to do it.

"Sister, do you want to eat something?"

"I'm not eating anymore. You can make whatever you want. There are dishes in the kitchen."

After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that her younger brother was not at home when the house was being renovated, and he probably didn't even know which way the kitchen door faced.

"Never mind, I'll take you to the kitchen."

Although Gu Chengyan was the only son of the general's family, he had followed himself and others all the way to the capital to escape the famine, so he had learned a little about cooking. Cooking well was no problem.

Lin Qiye had lived a hard life since childhood, so cooking was no problem for him.

When the two heard Lin Jiuyue say that there were ingredients in the kitchen, they stopped hesitating and went to the kitchen immediately.

Lin Jiuyue followed them to the kitchen and watched Lin Qiye and Gu Chengyan busy in the kitchen. She leaned one shoulder on the door frame with her hands folded.

"Are you really hungry?"

Lin Qiye glanced at Lin Jiuyue with a resentful look.

"Sister, you don't know what we ate during the time Brother Gu and I were in the military camp. It was not much different from pig food."

When Gu Chengyan heard this, he looked at Lin Qiye in confusion.

If I remember correctly, the Lin siblings didn't have a very good life before fleeing the famine, right? Especially after their parents passed away. I have a good idea of ​​how difficult life was back then.

After fleeing the famine, we were always on the move, and although we had some good food, the food in the military camp couldn't be compared to pig food, right?

After Lin Qiye finished speaking, he found that Gu Chengyan was looking at him with a puzzled look. He smiled awkwardly.

"Haha, Brother Gu, I exaggerated a bit. Actually, the food in the military camp is not that bad."

Lin Qiye explained a few words, but Gu Chengyan still had some doubts in his heart.

After dinner, Lin Jiuyue threw the bedding to Lin Qiye and Gu Chengyan.

"This is the quilt. As for the room, you can choose any other room except mine."

People in the countryside are not rich, and being able to have their own separate room is considered a good thing.

When Lin Jiuyue built his house, he did not build it with several entrances and exits like the rich families did.

Anyway, there are not many people in my family, and if the house is too wide, it will be lonely and deserted.

Besides, I still have space, which is much more comfortable to live in than this small courtyard. Normally, I live in the space. It would be a waste to build a house that is too wide.

Lin Qiye glanced at Gu Chengyan beside him.

If Brother Gu hadn't come back with me, I would have been able to stay in my sister's space at night. Sigh!

"Brother Gu, let's go."

Gu Chengyan glanced at the quilt in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment.

This girl, just throwing the bedding to me is considered a treat? I have never seen such a way of entertaining guests before.

But then again, this girl treats me so rudely, does it mean that she doesn't consider me an outsider?

Thinking of this, Gu Chengyan smiled slightly. Then, the smile grew wider and wider.

Lin Qiye tilted his head and looked at Gu Chengyan.

What's wrong with Brother Gu? He's actually grinning at the quilt. Is he really stupid?

"Brother Gu?"

Lin Qiye stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Gu Chengyan.

Hearing Lin Qiye's shout, Gu Chengyan came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly.

"Well, I'm not familiar with your house..."

Lin Qiye: ...

Don’t ask, because even if you ask, you won’t be familiar with it yourself!

"My sister said, pick whatever you want."

After Lin Qiye finished speaking, he carried the bedding and checked every room one by one.

Gu Chengyan: ...

Just pick one? Then can I stay in the room closest to September?

Just when I thought of this, I found that Lin Qiye had already carried the bedding to the room next to Lin Jiuyue's room.

"Brother Gu, I'll live in this room. If you haven't chosen one yet, why not live in that one? That one has better light."

Lin Qiye pointed to the room farthest from his sister.

Gu Chengyan was stunned.

"Didn't we agree to pick any one we wanted? Is it okay for me to stay in this one?"

Gu Chengyan pointed to the room next to Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye had refused a thousand times in his heart, but he still agreed on the surface.

"Okay! Brother Gu, you know how to make the quilt, right? You don't need my help, right?"

Gu Chengyan didn't say anything and walked into the room holding the quilt assigned to him.

Early the next morning, not long after Lin Jiuyue opened the door, the village chief's wife came over.

I prepared some dishes yesterday, and today's task is to wash the dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs that I borrowed from the villagers so that they can be used during the banquet.

"Qiye, you have no sense at all. Go and help fetch water."

It was getting late last night, so Lin Jiuyue let Lin Qiye go to rest without much complaint. When he got up in the morning and saw Lin Qiye's face, he remembered that this kid had taken the initiative to go to the military camp, and his anger instantly rose again.

Lin Qiye knew that he had really made his sister angry this time, so he didn't dare to say anything more. He picked up the bucket and went to fetch water.

There was a well in the yard. Lin Qiye's strength was different from that of ordinary people. For him, fetching water was like playing.

When the village chief's wife heard Lin Jiuyue's words, she looked up and saw Lin Qiye who had just walked into the yard.

"Hey, Qiye is back? When did you come back?"

Lin Qiye grinned, revealing a big smile.

"Auntie, I came back last night."

While chatting, the village chief's wife suddenly saw Gu Chengyan coming out of the room again.

The moment she saw Gu Chengyan, the village chief's wife's mouth twitched, and her expression suddenly became extremely interesting. But she didn't say anything.

After Gu Chengyan left her sight, the village chief's wife pulled Lin Jiuyue to her side and spoke in a low voice.

"What month? Who is that man? Why is he in your house?"

When Lin Jiuyue heard what the village chief's wife said, she knew without hesitation that the man she was talking about was Gu Chengyan.

"Auntie, he came back with Qiye. What happened? Do you know him?"

The village chief's wife shook her head.

"I don't know him, but, September, there's something I don't know if I should say."

Lin Jiuyue frowned.

This is the last thing I want to hear.

Should I say it? Since I'm not sure whether I should say it or not, why not just not say it? If someone else said this, I would have confronted them long ago.

"Aunt, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you hiding things when talking to me?"
