Chapter 321 Can’t you wait until I grow up before getting old? !
Xu Yu and Xu Minghui carried water into the house one after another. Xu Yu naturally handed the task of pouring water into the water tank to Xu Minghui, while he looked at the buns that were neatly wrapped and placed in the gauze-covered sieve with a critical eye.
Although they are called steamed buns, there are actually not many that look like real steamed buns.
Sang Zhixia aroused the enthusiasm of the little ones to create with dough, and they stayed around the stove all afternoon without moving.
Everything from fancy and bizarre shapes to imaginable and unimaginable can be found in this sieve that gathers countless fantastic ideas.
Xu Yu clicked his tongue a few times, pointed out Xu Mingyang's masterpieces with a sharp look, and emphasized: "I won't eat these toads."
Xu Mingyang stood up with great courage: "I'll eat it myself!"
"That would be great."
Xu Yu glanced at him and said in a tone that was difficult to describe: "Don't worry, no one will snatch it from you."
Seeing that Xu Mingyang was about to get anxious, Sang Zhixia coughed calmly and said, "Speak less."
Xu Yu sneered: "If you have the guts to do something so ugly, then don't be so guilty and afraid of being criticized."
"he……"
"Stop talking nonsense."
Sang Zhixia patted Xu Yu's arm protectively. As Xu Yu's eyes flashed with resentment, she glanced at Xu Minghui's face and whispered, "What's wrong with you two? Did you have a fight while fetching water?"
Xu Minghui was probably too lazy to pretend at home, and his expression looked a little strange since he entered the door.
Xu Yu was very dissatisfied with this. He put his chin on Sang Zhixia's shoulder and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm right in front of you. Why do you always look at these bastards?"
"Can't you wait until I leave the house to watch it?"
Sang Zhixia breathed lightly when she heard the voice and tilted her head to look at him: "Are you going out?"
Xu Yu had no intention of hiding anything from Sang Zhixia. In a voice only she could hear, he said, "Shu brocade is unique and a treasure you can't buy anywhere else. I'll get some to make you some summer clothes."
"What color do you like? How about I get some back and you pick the ones you like?"
Sang Zhixia estimated the distance from Shu to here in his mind, and then thought about the season when people could wear summer clothes, and he had some idea of how long Xu Yu would be away from home.
Sang Zhixia raised her hand and pushed away Xu Yu, who was trying to move forward with a shamefaced look on his face. "That's not necessary. I'm not that short of clothes."
"If you have nothing to do, go light the fire over there and don't get in the way here."
The despised Xu Yu shrugged and smiled and left.
The fire in the stove was burning fiercely, and the wisps of white steam rising from the steamer blurred half of Xu Yu's profile.
Sang Zhixia sighed inwardly, and after dinner she returned to the north yard to pack up her things.
"The journey is long and it's inconvenient to carry too many things. Just take two changes of clothes with you. You can buy anything else you need along the way. The money you have is enough."
The income from the granary and the farm is stable. Although the winery has encountered some minor setbacks, the dividends that can be delivered to Sang Zhixia every month are still considerable.
Sang Zhixia's pockets were full and he was generous with the money. He took out Xu Yu's small bag and stuffed the banknotes into it.
Xu Yu sat crookedly on the edge of the bed, laughing constantly, "Zhizhi, there's no need for so much."
"It's better to be prepared when you go out. It's better to have more than less."
Sang Zhixia counted the silver to make sure it was the amount she was satisfied with. She looked up at Xu Yu and said, "Think about what else you want to take?"
"I brought the two bottles of wound medicine that Mr. Hu gave me earlier, as well as the Baicao Dan for colds, and also..."
"And you?"
Xu Yu suddenly said, "Zhizhi, you brought everything for me, what about you?"
Sang Zhixia looked at him in confusion: "What does it have to do with me?"
"I've always been at home. The farthest I've ever been is to the city, which is a round trip in a day. Why would I need to pack?"
Xu Yu leaned over Sang Zhixia, grabbed her hand and rubbed it, smiling with his eyes closed: "Okay, if you say no, then no."
"By the way, I heard that the people of Shu love spicy food, and they pay attention to spicy, numbing, and fragrant food. Do you like the food there?"
Sang Zhixia was still thinking about whether she had missed anything when the words slipped past her ears. She said absentmindedly, "I can handle spicy food."
"What about the numb ones?"
“I can eat peppercorns, too.”
Sang Zhixia felt that Xu Yu's nagging was a nuisance and reached out to push him away: "You move aside first, and then I'll..."
"Zhizhi, you said that people in Shu eat spicy and numbing food every day. Will their mouths also feel spicy and numbing after so many years?"
Xu Yu asked seriously, and Sang Zhixia was so angry that she laughed.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"So the buns you ate today were sweet, so does that mean your mouth will be sweet?"
The corners of Xu Yu's lips curled up, and under Sang Zhixia's amused gaze, he put his arm around her neck, tilted his head back, and as their lips touched, he smiled vaguely, "It's so sweet."
"If you don't believe me, try it."
Before Sang Zhixia could react, she was pressed onto the soft quilt. The candle on the table was extinguished by Xu Yu's palm. In the dim and blurry light, the only thing that could be seen clearly was Xu Yu's smiling eyes.
"Zhizhi, is it sweet?"
Sang Zhixia grabbed the big hand on her waist in a chaotic breathing, and her face turned red with anger without her knowing when.
"Xu Yu, stop messing around, I..."
"I just wanted to give you a taste of sweetness, why are you making a fuss?"
Xu Yu bent down and kissed her relentlessly, laughing slowly: "I definitely couldn't taste anything with just one bite. Fortunately, the night is long enough..."
Outside the gate of the north courtyard, Xu Minghui looked expressionlessly at the extinguished candle in the main room. The gloom between his brows seemed darker than the night sky above him.
Xu Mingyang, who was holding a candle and looking for crickets, saw this and asked curiously, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
The few little ones who came out together under Xu Mingyang's guidance turned their heads and blinked in confusion.
Xu Minghui quickly closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then said with an unclear emotion, "Your eldest brother said he wanted to talk to me after dinner and asked me to come to the North Courtyard to find him."
Xu Minghui learned of Xu Yu's plan and was so worried that he didn't even notice that he was eating the toad wrapped by Xu Mingyang for dinner.
After swallowing three ugly toads with thick skin and small fillings, Xu Minghui felt bitter under his tongue. After finally drinking a few bowls and recovering a little, he came to the North Courtyard and saw a dark and bleak place where no one was welcome.
The candles were out, how could he have the nerve to go in?
In other words, even if he went there, Xu Yu in the room would definitely not respond to his call!
Xu Minghui's face became even uglier.
The faces of the little ones were full of as-is.
Xu Mingxu, a small man, said in a loud voice, "Is that so? Second brother, please come back tomorrow. Big brother can't be woken up right now."
Xu Jinxi also sighed: "Whenever my eldest brother is at home, he always pesters my eldest sister-in-law to play with him."
"He's already grown up, can't he just try to comfort himself?!"
"That's right, how can a grown-up like that have the nerve to ask his sister-in-law to coax him?"
Xu Mingyang said this with disdain, and did not forget to remind Xu Minghui: "Brother, remember to come and call Big Brother later tomorrow, otherwise if you bother him to stay in bed, he will chase me out to play with other girls!"
After a long silence, Xu Minghui forced a smile and looked at the neatly arranged row of carrot heads and said, "It's so late, why don't you go inside and sleep?"
Xu Yanran looked at Xu Minghui as if she had seen a ghost, pointed at the moon above her head and said, "Second brother, is there a possibility that it is not too late now?"
Xu Minghui: “…”
Xu Yanran: "We just had dinner, right? Grandpa is still reading at this hour, who's going to sleep?"
Xu Minghui was completely speechless.
Sympathy showed on Xu Mingxu's little face: "Second brother is also getting old?"
"Are you going to bed so early?"
Xu Mingxu immediately cleared up the doubts in the children's eyes, and in an instant even Xu Mingyang's eyes were filled with sympathy.
Xu Minghui was already old before he even reached adulthood. He opened his mouth weakly but had nothing to say. After a brief silence, he turned and left.
Xu Mingyang said worriedly: "Brother, you are already old?!"
"Don't age so fast! Can't you wait until I'm older?!"
"Wait a minute, what's wrong with me!!!"
