He Jinshan had a stern face, his eyes fixed on the severely burnt cabbage leaves, as if he wanted to reduce them to ashes and destroy all traces.
After a few breaths, he moved the bowl away.
"Whatever you want to eat, make it again."
Jiang Henian smiled awkwardly and slowly raised a scallion pancake in his hand, "How about... I eat this?"
A kerosene lamp was lit on the small square table in the room, and the bean-sized flame illuminated half of the room.
Jiang Henian sat cross-legged in the quilt, only stretching out a few fingers to pinch the scallion pancake and nibble on it.
"Uncle, what happened to Chen Erhu? I heard him screaming when I was taking a shower.
He Jinshan sat on the kang, eating the porridge in the bowl with an expressionless face. He picked up a piece of cabbage and ate it, then said calmly:
"I slipped and fell."
"oh……"
Jiang Henian tore a piece of paper and blew out a big wonton, then sniffed again. His nasal tone became heavier and heavier, and he spoke slowly.
"What a fuss he made, that water was thrown so accurately that not a drop fell on the stove."
She took a small bite of the biscuit, held it in her mouth and chewed it slowly and listlessly, her expression listless. The fever had caused the folds at the corners of her eyes to become deeper, making her eyes look even bigger.
Jiang Henian looked at the piece of burnt and wilted cabbage that had been picked up. It looked nothing like its original juicy appearance, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"Sure enough, he's not a cook. His skills are about the same as mine. Sigh..."
He Jinshan glanced over.
Jiang Henian was so surprised that he used the cake to cover his greasy mouth.
Oops, I accidentally said what was in my heart.
A man’s shortcomings should not be exposed to his face.
Jiang Henian's radar beeped and he immediately stuck out a thumbs-up from under the quilt.
"Uncle, your skill in grilling wild game is amazing! I want to eat roasted rabbit tomorrow~"
He Jinshan gave her an indifferent look, finished all the porridge and vegetables in the big bowl in a few gulps, and then reached out to pinch a handful of food that burned his face.
"Why eat roasted rabbit when you're sick?"
He raised his hand and stuffed the cake into her mouth, "Eat it quickly, and then take the medicine."
Jiang Henian lost her appetite after eating half of it. She was only energetic for a while after taking a shower, but now she felt her nose getting more and more blocked and her forehead was hot and dizzy.
When He Jinshan returned to the house, Jiang Henian was sitting wrapped in a quilt, like a little old lady, holding half a cake in her hand, her eyelids almost completely closed.
The man frowned slightly and strode towards the several large boxes placed by Jiang Henian against the wall. He squatted in front of the large cardboard box of medicines and rummaged through the fever-reducing drugs. As he was rummaging, he saw several boxes of "condoms" and his forehead twitched.
This little brat used my money to prepare supplies and bought so many sets?
Are you planning to blow up a balloon as a lifebuoy in an emergency?
Jiang Henian was pinched on the face and fed medicine. The medicine was so bitter that he frowned and wanted to vomit. A round fruit was immediately stuffed into his mouth.
She opened her eyes and looked.
Crisp dates, half green and half red.
Jiang Henian blew his nose and took a bite of a crispy date.
It tastes sour and sweet, covering up the bitterness in my mouth.
His slightly pink cheeks were puffed up with crispy dates, and his big eyes were full of emotion.
"Uncle...you are fine."
He Jinshan took the remaining half of the cold pancake from her hand, took a bite, and said in a cold tone:
"That's all right? Who would rather eat bread?"
Tsk tsk tsk, I still remember it.
Jiang Henian held the quilt and moved to the man's side, gently bumping his shoulder against him. His voice was soft and nasal.
"My mouth has no taste. I don't want to drink porridge."
"Tomorrow!" She stretched out three slender white fingers from under the quilt and promised, "I will definitely eat it all tomorrow!"
Someone who only knows how to fry eggs with eggshells has a gangster boss and deputy company commander cooking for him, so why would he need a bicycle?
Jiang Henian, who vowed to eat all the He-style black-edged stir-fried cabbage the next day, developed a high fever at night and shook like a sieve in his bed.
He was picked up and fed medicine, then covered with two quilts. He was still shaking and started talking nonsense with his eyes closed.
"Uncle, I want to take a hot bath with roses in it."
"Woo... vegetable garden, mom, I want to go into the vegetable garden, and my family also wants a vegetable garden."
"It's so cold... When I have money, I will take xiebu%*bv＊sk..."
He Jinshan threw the wet towel, which was quickly becoming hot, aside, lifted the quilt and quickly lay down in it, completely embracing the girl, whose forehead was burning but whose body was as cold as ice, in his arms.
Overnight, the temperature in Huagou Village dropped a lot, and the trees on the back mountain rustled in the cold wind.
When Jiang Henian opened his eyes, the room was warm and quiet.
The wooden windows were tightly shut, the shadows of the trees outside were swaying violently, and there was a faint glimpse of sunlight.
You can also hear the rooster "clucking, clucking", the "bleating" sound, and the sound of something being knocked from somewhere.
sheep?
Where did the sheep come from?
Jiang Henian had half of his face hidden under the quilt, his big eyes rolling around, and he coughed violently several times before he even turned over.
Outside the door.
Chen Erhu stood in front of a large mound of earth, diligently stirring the soil mixed with straw and water with a shovel, while glancing at the stove from which white smoke had been rising all morning.
"Tsk tsk, they're already lighting the kang so early. How much firewood will we need for winter?"
He turned his head to look at the adobe wall in front of him, which was fixed with two wooden planks fifteen centimeters apart. It had already reached his thigh level.
He raised his hand and shoveled in a dozen more shovels of adobe mud, grinning and boasting: "Your fighting ability is pretty good, Erhuzi!"
He dragged the shovel and went to the stove happily.
"Brother Shan, at this rate we can finish the wall before dark. What are you going to do with the things inside?"
He Jinshan spread his long legs, sat on the stone that Jiang Henian had moved yesterday, and added firewood to the stove.
"They use blue bricks. I told the team this morning that they have fresh blue bricks from the kiln, so I bought some first."
"hiss--"
Chen Erhu was secretly shocked. This would cost a lot of money.
He looked around the large yard and then glanced at the closed wooden door.
It’s really difficult to raise a young wife.
When I got home in the evening, I asked my mother to cancel the blind date for tomorrow. I can't afford to support her, no matter how beautiful she is.
Suddenly, I was hit on the knee by a wooden stick.
“Ouch!”
Chen Erhu nearly jumped up while holding onto the shovel, his legs bent with a grin on his face. "Brother, if you hit me again, my leg will break!"
Being glared at, he immediately put his legs down, bent over and said timidly: "I was wrong, I was wrong, brother! Didn't I think it was on fire? When my sister-in-law wakes up, I will kneel down to her immediately."
He Jinshan knocked the enamel basin filled with cabbage with a wooden stick.
"meeting?"
Chen Erhu was confused: "?"
What? You want me to kneel on the basin?
That’s not good... If I kneel down on this pot of Gaxin, won’t it be broken?
He Jinshan snorted and kicked him, "I'm asking you if you can stir-fry Chinese cabbage."
"Yes! Who doesn't know how to stir-fry Chinese cabbage?"
Chen Erhu patted his chest, picked up the enamel basin, lifted the lid and put the food into the pot.
Swish——!
A cloud of white smoke rose from the pot.
It's confused.
"roll."
Chen Erhu was kicked away by He Jinshan.
