Shi Chengyu looked up and saw a familiar figure. He sniffed. No! After all, he was feeling sad right now, so why was she washing clothes beside him without any worries? Shi Chengyu felt that if she used a little more force, the fabric would be torn.
Lin Xuanjiao was washing vigorously when she felt a burning gaze staring at her from behind.
Lin Xuanjiao turned around in confusion and saw Shi Chengyu's red and swollen eyes. "Keep crying! Leave me alone, just pretend I don't exist."
Just...suddenly he couldn't cry anymore. Shi Chengyu looked at Lin Xuanjiao who said this and felt a little aggrieved. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to cry again after she said such words?
Shi Chengyu, feeling that he had lost face in front of this person, quickly stood up, almost falling down because he stood up so quickly. After stabilizing himself, he left without even saying goodbye.
Lin Xuanjiao looked at Shi Chengyu's back and stopped scrubbing the clothes. Is this guy really the hero of the novel? Why is she so unconvinced?
Forget it, no matter whether he is the male protagonist in the book or not, Lin Xuanjiao is now only focused on washing her own quilt cover.
I've rubbed it a lot, so it should be done now! Lin Xuanjiao looked at the sheets and quilt in the basin and felt that they were almost washed, so she decided to wash them with water.
Because the sheets and quilt covers are so large, Lin Xuanjiao feels that washing them is much more troublesome than washing clothes. Fortunately, there is well water in the backyard. If she had to fetch water herself, Lin Xuanjiao didn't know how many buckets of water she would need to fetch.
After cleaning, Lin Xuanjiao started to squeeze out the water. The sheets and quilt covers must be squeezed clean of water otherwise they will be difficult to dry.
If it were someone else, it would take two people to squeeze the water out of the sheets and quilt, but when it came to Lin Xuanjiao, she didn't need anyone else at all, she could do it by herself.
After squeezing out the water, Lin Xuanjiao hung the clothes on the clothesline. Fortunately, there were many clotheslines here, and almost the entire backyard could be used to dry clothes.
After hanging up the sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases, Lin Xuanjiao left the backyard.
After returning to the room, Lin Xuanjiao discovered that only Meng Qi and Qiao Ling were there. She was a little surprised, "Why are there only the two of you? Where are the others?"
"They both went to cook. Today it was Han Shucui's turn to cook, and they both went to help."
Lin Xuanjiao nodded. "Is that so?" "But they ate a little too early today!" "Aren't you hungry eating so early?"
"You guys are eating so early today, will you be hungry later?"
Meng Qi immediately responded to Lin Xuanjiao's question, "Of course I'm hungry! I'm going to be hungry no matter when I eat. How can I fill my stomach with just porridge every day? Since I'm going to be hungry all the time, I might as well eat early and go to bed. I can eat again when I wake up."
Lin Xuanjiao had never experienced the feeling of being hungry. When she heard Meng Qi say that she was hungry all the time, she felt a little relieved. Fortunately, she did not transmigrate into a book and become a person who had trouble getting enough food and clothing. Now she thought that God was quite good to her.
Lin Xuanjiao was still rejoicing when Qiao Ling called her.
Lin Xuanjiao looked at Qiao Ling with some curiosity, wondering what was going on that was so mysterious.
Qiao Ling felt a little embarrassed looking at Lin Xuanjiao. She didn't have any good things, but she had to give her something no matter how little she had.
"I have some roasted sweet potatoes here. Do you want some? I saved them especially for you. They are so sweet."
As he spoke, Qiao Ling took out two sweet potatoes that were roasted black like grenades.
Lin Xuanjiao looked at the appearance and felt a little hesitant. Can it really be eaten like this?
Seeing that Lin Xuanjiao looked hesitant, Qiao Ling lowered her head sadly. It looked like Lin Xuanjiao would definitely not accept her sweet potatoes. She had already expected this in her heart. After all, how could she be interested in her roasted sweet potatoes when her living conditions were so good?
But there was still a little bit of luck in her heart. Qiao Ling thought that she would be happier if Lin Xuanjiao could accept her two roasted sweet potatoes. After all, it meant that she was still of some use to Lin Xuanjiao.
Lin Xuanjiao hated this kind of situation the most. If the person came with a bad tone and attitude and asked her to accept something, she would definitely not accept it. But Lin Xuanjiao really couldn't refuse someone as sincere as Qiao Ling.
Looking at the grenade-like appearance, Lin Xuanjiao gritted her teeth and thought, never mind, it wouldn't kill anyone. It just looked a little ugly. What if it tasted good?
Thinking this, Lin Xuanjiao reached out and took the two roasted sweet potatoes from Qiao Ling's hand: "Thank you! These sweet potatoes are still a little warm. Did you just roast them?"
When Qiao Ling saw Lin Xuanjiao take her roasted sweet potato, she relaxed immediately and smiled. "No, I buried it in the stove ashes at noon and slowly cooked it."
Lin Xuanjiao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that this person's appearance was so dark. It was because he had been hiding it for the entire afternoon. It would be strange if it wasn't dark.
Thinking that she had also received something, Lin Xuanjiao felt that she should give some food back. It is normal to have give and take, and it cannot be a one-sided giving.
Lin Xuanjiao took out four egg cakes from her wooden box. She felt that this old-fashioned egg cake tasted quite good. She had almost finished the one pound of egg cakes she bought here, and she would have to go to the town to buy some more tomorrow.
Qiao Ling knew what Lin Xuanjiao was up to when she saw her actions, so she quickly stopped her: "Lin Xuanjiao, what are you doing? I don't want this. How can I ask for egg cake when I only have two sweet potatoes?"
Lin Xuanjiao forcefully picked up an egg cake and stuffed it into Qiao Ling's mouth: "Just take it if I gave it to you. Stop talking nonsense."
As he spoke, he took one of the remaining three egg cakes and placed it in Qiao Ling's hand. He then gave the remaining two directly to Meng Qi: "I'll give you two each. Eat them quickly so that no one else will find out."
Even if they found out, it wouldn't matter. After all, the thing was hers. She could give it to whoever she wanted, and no one else could do anything about it. What she meant was that she wanted these two to finish the egg cakes in their hands quickly and not be reluctant to eat them.
Sure enough, after hearing what Lin Xuanjiao said, both of them changed their reluctant look and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Yes! They couldn't let anyone else find out that Lin Xuanjiao had given them egg cake. If they did, they'd probably get mad at her, and Qiao Ling and Meng Qi couldn't handle that.
Seeing the two of them start to eat, Lin Xuanjiao also started to eat the grenade in her hand, peeling off the black shell to reveal the white core inside. Lin Xuanjiao looked at the white core of the sweet potato and had some doubts in her heart.
Aren't all baked sweet potatoes yellow? Why is this one white? Lin Xuanjiao honestly didn't know there were sweet potatoes with white cores; after all, she had never seen or eaten one before.
