Under Hu Lin's guidance, Yang Qing started a fire.
The rough branches hurt his hands, but Hu Lin said that to make a fire, the branches had to be broken into small pieces, so Yang Qing could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Old Zheng, who came over to return the vegetable basin, vaguely heard the sound of Hu Lin teaching people how to light a fire in the house, and was a little confused.
Do you need someone to teach you how to make a fire these days?
Old Zheng suppressed his doubts and called out "Hu family" twice to ask people to come out.
As soon as Hu Lin heard Lao Zheng's voice, he left Yang Qing and went out.
Yang Qing, who was left behind, looked at the black dead branches and red palms in his hands, and felt more and more aggrieved.
It's really unfair to ask a young master who has never done housework to do these things.
When Lao Zheng saw Hu Lin limping, he asked in surprise, "Why did you fall?"
I saw him yesterday and he was fine. How come he became like this after just one night?
"I fell on the mountain yesterday, and it's still swollen after applying the medicated oil." Hu Lin took the vegetable bowl handed to him by Lao Zheng and explained.
"Then you should be more careful." Lao Zheng glanced at the knees that were bulging out in the loose trouser legs and said with concern in an awkward tone.
Hu Lin responded and watched Lao Zheng leave.
Returning to the kitchen, Hu Lin saw the waning flames of Yang Qing's fire, and put the vegetable basin on the earthen stove, "Stir it up, and use the bellows to fan the fire. The firewood is so heavy, how can the fire start?"
Hu Lin gave instructions in a neutral tone, and only returned to the bedroom when he saw that Yang Qing was gradually getting on the right track.
My knees hurt after standing for a long time.
The cooking was carried out slowly and steadily, waiting for Hu Xiaoyi to come back from work before starting to eat.
When Hu Xiaoyi came back and saw Yang Qing making a fire and making his face look like a cat, he gasped.
He glared at Li Aihua and quickly told Yang Qing to stop working and go wash his face.
He couldn't help blaming Li Aihua for being ignorant. How could she let Yang Qing, a guest, do the work, especially the child of the village chief.
At the dinner table, Hu Xiaoyi picked up several pieces of food for Yang Qing with his chopsticks and said a few polite words in a dry voice, asking Yang Qing to "don't be polite, just treat this place as your home".
When Hu Lin saw this, he curled the corner of his mouth, but had nothing to say about Hu Xiaoyi's eager behavior.
During the meal, Hu Lin just stared at the vegetables and ate them. Hu Xiaoyi looked at him and wanted to speak several times, but he couldn't say anything because Yang Qing was there.
He could only pick up a few more vegetables for Yang Qing to prevent Hu Lin from eating the whole dish by himself.
Hu Lin, who was full and satisfied, did not chase Yang Qing away immediately after the meal. Instead, he waited until Li Aihua finished cleaning up before letting Yang Qing go back on the pretext of taking a nap.
Yang Qing wanted to play with Hu Lin, but when he heard Hu Lin's words to drive him away, he wanted to stay, but he didn't know what to say to prevent Hu Lin from driving him away.
Just as he was hesitating, Hu Xiaoyi spoke up, "Let me take you back."
Hearing this, Hu Lin glanced at Hu Xiaoyi.
After all this, he doesn't even need to take a nap.
He really put a lot of effort into currying favor with the village chief's family.
When Yang Qing heard what Hu Xiaoyi said, his inner plan was completely aborted and he could only nod dejectedly.
Before leaving, Yang Qing looked at Hu Lin timidly and asked, "Can I come to eat next time I have a day off?"
Hu Lin heard it and replied with a smile, "Sure."
Who can resist adding extra dishes occasionally?
Yang Qing, who finally got a smile, suddenly looked bright, "Then it's a deal, we can't go back on our word."
Yang Qing wanted to make a pinky promise, but he was afraid that Hu Lin would be angry, so he had to suppress the thought.
Hu Lin nodded perfunctorily.
Seeing this, Yang Qing left with Hu Xiaoyi satisfied.
After they were quite far away, Yang Qing realized belatedly that there was an indescribable feeling when Hu Lin smiled.
Unlike the girls in the class, who looked like porcelain dolls, Hu Lin looked like a fox in a comic book.
Hu Xiaoyi sent Yang Qing home, exchanged a few awkward polite words with the village chief before leaving.
He is not good at socializing, and the Hu family didn't need him in the past. He just had to do his work.
Now that I have to do it myself and have a conversation with the village chief, it is inevitable that I will be stretched to the limit.
Besides being nervous, I also had an indescribable feeling.
This feeling lasted until he returned home and he still hadn't figured it out.
Hu Xiaoyi looked at the sun and no longer felt like taking a nap. He continued to fiddle with the wooden basin outside the house and would go to work when the time came.
At dinner, Hu Xiaoyi saw half a bowl of chicken in the vegetable bowl and asked, "Why don't you make it for lunch and let Yang Qing have a taste!"
Li Aihua pursed her lips, thinking about how to respond.
At noon, she thought that she had to keep the fact that there were pheasants at home a secret.
She remembers everything her daughter said!
Yang Qing is still a child after all. If he tells this to others and the village chief knows about it, he will definitely cause trouble for his daughter, so she kept it to herself.
"Then let him go back and tell the village chief that our family found a pheasant?" Hu Lin stared at Hu Xiaoyi, "and then wait for the village chief to come to his house and question him?"
