Chapter 24
twenty four
"Don't cry." Cheng Yeran had never encountered such a situation before, which made him feel a little overwhelmed. He cried so sadly, which was so heartbreaking. Cheng Yeran felt that he shouldn't just stand there stupidly. He wanted to turn around and hug him, pat his shoulder and comfort him.
But when he was about to turn around, Shen Yuntang grabbed his clothes tightly on the back.
"Don't turn around." Shen Yuntang's voice was hoarse. He felt that he was really embarrassed at the moment, but his emotions surged and he couldn't control it at all.
It just so happened that it started to rain heavily at this time. Raindrops bigger than his tears fell on their heads, flowed down their necks into their clothes, and made them feel icy cold.
Cheng Yeran didn't dare to move, but was it really necessary for them to stand there stupidly in the heavy rain? This seems like acting in an idol drama.
The rain was getting heavier, like a shower. Cheng Yeran really wanted to ask him if he had finished crying. He didn't dare to ask. After all, the other party acted so professionally, he should also accompany him, otherwise he would appear very unprofessional.
Shen Yuntang hit him on the back: "Why are you standing there with me like an idiot? It's raining so hard, aren't you afraid of getting sick?"
"So we can go now?" Cheng Yeran felt him leaving her and went to pick up the bucket on the ground.
"You go back first, I'll fetch the water." Shen Yuntang lowered his head, trying to hide his red eyes, but his hand was held by Cheng Yeran.
"Are you stupid? It's raining so heavily. Even if you carry water back, it's rain water. You can just collect it at home." Cheng Yeran poured out the water in the bucket, took his hand and ran back home quickly.
When we got home, both of us were soaked. Clothes in ancient times were multi-layered, and now they were all soaked and stuck to the body, feeling very heavy.
After the two returned to the room, they quickly changed their clothes. Cheng Yeran had never changed clothes at the same time as Shen Yuntang before, and this was the first time he saw Shen Yuntang take off his clothes.
The body looks so weak, but not skinny. It should feel soft to the touch.
How could such a soft person be so strong when working? He was almost exhausted to death when he fetched water and chopped wood for the first time, but he did it with ease. He is really an amazing person.
"What are you looking at?" Shen Yuntang turned to look at him.
His gaze was too scorching, and Shen Yuntang couldn't help but pay attention.
Because it was a rainy day, even though it was daytime, the room was still dark and stuffy, which made the sounds of the two people's breathing very obvious.
"Want to do it?" Shen Yuntang thought he was hinting at something, otherwise he really couldn't understand why the other party was staring at him with that kind of eyes.
When he said this, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the sky, as if it had hit Cheng Yeran, and his heart beat faster.
"Do, do what? Don't keep saying things like that!" Cheng Yeran quickly put on his clothes, nervous and almost shaking his hands and feet. "I'll go boil some water and take a hot bath."
Shen Yuntang changed his clothes, sat on a chair, and leaned his head against the wall. He had become numb to Cheng Yeran's rejection and did not feel as bad as the previous two times. It seemed as if it was supposed to be this way.
They had already had a fight yesterday, and if Xia Xiaowu hadn't appeared, the two of them would still be in a cold war. It really shouldn't be done at this time.
Cheng Yeran came back immediately after he went out for a while. This time was not enough to boil water.
Shen Yuntang turned his head to look at him: "What's wrong?"
"Actually, I went to the river to find you just now because I wanted you to help me make soy milk. I couldn't control the heat, and I wasted the beans that I had ground with great difficulty." Cheng Yeran saw that he was very fragile now, and quickly took two steps back. "Well, you stay here and don't move. I'll go down and boil some water. I won't burn the water. Let's make tofu after we finish taking a bath."
"Yeah." Shen Yuntang was still in a low mood. He didn't listen to what he said at all. He leaned against the wall, looking like he didn't want to care about the world.
After the two of them took a bath, Shen Yuntang and Cheng Yeran went into the kitchen together.
"What should we do?" Shen Yuntang asked him.
"I have the steps here." Cheng Yeran took the instructions he had copied in advance and read them beside him.
Shen Yuntang is illiterate.
ЙàΝf
Just do what he says.
During the process, he was always doubting whether this could really be successful.
Am I taking too much risk? There was not much money at home, and I still had to accompany him to buy so many beans and make tofu.
But it's better to do it once. If it succeeds, it's good. If it fails, he will give up the idea in the future.
The rain outside had stopped. Two people were busy in the kitchen when they heard the door open.
Every household in their village has the habit of locking their doors. Some people will knock on the door when they go to someone else's house, but some people will not. Even if their doors are repaired, they still cannot prevent outsiders from entering.
When the two heard the sound, they looked up at the kitchen door and saw Aunt Li from next door coming over.
She seemed to have completely forgotten about the previous quarrel, and looked into the kitchen with a gossipy look on her face, "What are you busy with? What delicious food are you making?"
"Making tofu." Cheng Yeran didn't hide anything at all.
"Tofu? So great? You can also make this?" Aunt Li didn't believe it at all and thought he was bragging.
"Aunt, what's the matter?" When Shen Yuntang saw her, he thought of what happened before and was very upset. He didn't want to say too much to her. If the tofu could not be made, she would laugh at them to death and spread the news all over the world.
"I've run out of vinegar at home, so I came to borrow some from you." Aunt Li's eyes were fixed on the pot. She came here this time just to be curious about how they were doing. She came to take a look, and the vinegar was just an excuse. "This tofu is not something that everyone can make. You'd better not waste food."
