He glanced at her: "Your mother is stewing chicken in the kitchen, what am I doing under the bed? Are you crazy?"
Su Xueli praised, "You're so agile! But my mother will be coming in soon."
Wei Mingshen said, "I'll go in when she comes in."
"What if you don't manage your time well?"
"No, I heard it all. She started the fire big, then simmered it down, and then came back to tell you when she was leaving. I can time it perfectly."
Su Xueli exclaimed, "Are you someone with super hearing?"
He proudly tilted his chin up: "I practiced."
"You special forces soldiers train in everything?"
"Practice everything except how to woo girls."
"Get lost, you're no good!"
He laughed heartily.
He chuckled, then shrank back, winked mischievously, glanced outside, and whispered, "We can't underestimate our opponent."
Su Xueli said, "I'll stay at the door."
He reached out to stop her: "No, you should stay inside. If she comes in and finds out, she'll get suspicious."
Su Xueli nodded: "That makes sense."
She suddenly remembered, "Oh right, your bicycle is still outside. It'll be troublesome if my mother finds it later."
Wei Mingshen said, "Don't worry, she doesn't know this car is mine. When she finds out, just lie and say it's Shao Jiang's. She doesn't know Shao Jiang."
Su Xueli had to admire this guy's sharp mind and his ability to think things through.
As soon as she sat down and picked up the thatch, Wei Mingshen said again, "When it's almost time, you should go out. Don't wait for her to come in."
Su Xueli said, "That's no problem, I'll go take a look in a bit."
"Snow Pear, I remember you have hawthorns here!" Liu Fengying said as she walked over.
"Oh my god!" Su Xueli was so shocked that she dropped the thatch and rushed to the door.
At the same time, Wei Mingshen got up and hid behind the door.
Just now, Liu Fengying called from the kitchen, but no one inside heard her, so she came over to ask her daughter.
Chickens that lay eggs are hard to stew, but adding a few hawthorns to the pot will make the meat tender.
"Mom, um, hawthorn, I have some, I have some. You brought it over last time for me to make tea, I'll get it for you." Su Xueli said, blocking the doorway.
Liu Fengying looked at her daughter and asked, "Should you take it or should I?"
Su Xueli quickly said, "I'll take it, I'll take it, I know where it is."
After saying that, she retreated back into the house. Instinctively, she wanted to lock her mother outside, but when she tried to pry the door open, she couldn't budge it. She immediately understood, gave her mother a dry laugh, and ran to the jar on the table to take a few hawthorns.
At this moment, Liu Fengying also came into the house, looked at the thatch on the ground, and then at the place where the finished products were kept, and asked, "Where are all the little figures we made?"
Seeing her mother looking around so much, Su Xueli's heart was pounding. She shoved a few hawthorns into her hand and said, "I took them to the city this morning and only got back around noon. Mother, quickly put the hawthorns in the soup to stew."
She could clearly see Wei Mingshen's large feet peeking out from behind the door...
