"Nobody provoked me."
Peng Shiyu shook her head slightly, still looking listless. "Our yard is almost finished, and I'm moving in."
"What's wrong with moving there?"
Lin Jingyu was both annoyed and amused. She reached out and tapped her forehead. "It's just a wall away. You can come over with a simple step. What are you fussing about?"
I can't bear to part with you~
Peng Shiyu pouted and looked at her with her big, watery eyes, "Sister Jingyu, can I continue to eat at your house?"
"What will you do if I'm not home one day?"
Seeing that the person was determined to stick to her, Lin Jingyu felt a headache coming on.
Peng Shiyu smiled broadly, "Don't worry, I'll have some snacks."
"This can't go on forever."
Although she couldn't bear to refuse her, Lin Jingyu had to remind her, "You and your siblings can learn how to cook. Once you learn to cook, no matter where you go or what happens, you won't go hungry, right?"
"Cook?"
Peng Shiyu blinked, her tone tinged with disbelief, "Can I do it?"
"Why not?"
Lin Jingyu chuckled, "Of course you can learn if you're willing to. It all depends on whether you're willing to learn or not."
"willing."
Peng Shiyu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "You teach me."
"Okay, I'll teach you."
Lin Jingyu didn't think it was a big deal, and would just give her some pointers when she cooked each day.
As for how well she can learn it, that depends on her talent.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect; you'll become proficient after doing it a few times.
So even the most clumsy or talentless person, if they practice a few times and accumulate experience over time, may not be able to cook dishes comparable to those of a master chef, but at least they can cook delicious and tasty home-style dishes.
"Lin Zhiqing, could you please teach Shiyu how to cook?"
Peng Qibo walked in from outside.
Having clearly overheard their conversation, he first glanced at his sister, his tone tinged with gratitude, "Thank you."
"Don't thank me with words, just chop a few more loads of firewood for me when you have time."
Lin Jingyu didn't hold back and took advantage of him without any hesitation.
This guy is strong; he can chop more firewood in a day than she can do in two days.
This kind of hard labor should be done by men; women are completely outmatched in terms of physical strength.
"no problem."
Peng Qibo readily agreed.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lin Zhiqing, I am not an educated youth sent to the countryside, but I came here with my younger sister. I may leave at any time."
After I leave, please take good care of Shiyu.
She's all alone in the countryside, and our whole family is very worried about her.
Now that Shiyu likes being with you, could you please look after her for us?
"You weren't a sent-down youth? You could leave at any time?"
Lin Jingyu was surprised and astonished, never expecting things to turn out this way.
Looking at the adorable Peng Shiyu, he couldn't help but ask, "What if the person you meet when you go to the countryside isn't me?"
Are you really willing to leave poetry in the countryside?
"I'm not afraid she'll be gnawed clean, down to the bone fragments."
"Our plan is to let Shiyu be independent, and even if she encounters difficulties, let her overcome them on her own."
Peng Qibo explained, "Of course not. We won't let her be in danger. Jingtian is here, and with him watching over her, we won't let Shiyu get hurt."
"Naive, how can your whole family be so naive?"
Lin Jingyu was speechless. "No matter how thoughtful a boy is, it's not convenient for him to take care of a girl. Besides, he can't be by Shiyu's side all the time."
If Shiyu were to encounter a crazy woman like Zhao Qiaoyan, do you think Su Jingtian could handle her?
Besides, Su, the educated youth, also had to go to work, and by the time he found out what had happened, the matter would probably be over.
Ultimately, all he wanted was to find a way to improve the outcome.
So once something really goes wrong and the damage is done, what's the point of making any improvements?
"It was indeed our oversight."
Peng Qibo nodded, a look of relief appearing on his face. "Fortunately, I met you here, Lin Zhiqing, and Shiyu likes you. Perhaps this is destiny."
"What do you mean by destiny?"
Lin Jingyu laughed in exasperation, "We can't be a couple. She's just a little troublesome person who gives me a headache."
"Well?!"
Peng Shiyu looked at the two people in front of her and replied seriously, "Sister Jingyu, I can't, but you and my brother can be a couple."
"Pfft~"
Peng Qibo, who had just taken a sip of water, immediately spat it out.
Losing his composure, he jumped up from the bamboo chair.
Lin Jingyu, who hadn't taken it to heart at first, turned pale the moment she saw this.
"Hey Peng, what do you mean by this?"
Lin Jingyu stepped forward and poked his chest, her tone indignant, "What, am I not good enough for you? How dare you look down on me like this?"
No, that's not what I meant.
At this moment, Peng Qibo's ears turned slightly red.
In particular, the faint, feminine fragrance emanating from her made his heart skip a beat.
His mind was blank, and he didn't know what to say.
"That's not what I meant. Then what does it mean?"
Lin Jingyu's eyes widened, and she pressed him forcefully, "You better explain yourself today, why do you look down on me like this?"
"I don't look down on you, really I don't."
Peng Qibo felt slightly uncomfortable, but quickly calmed down.
But this question was not easy to answer, and he frowned in slight distress.
"Look, your brows are all furrowed, and you still say you don't mind me."
