Chapter 122 Randomly Pointing to the Dove's Score
Chapter 122: Random Points
It's the end of the year and the weather is getting colder, but it feels like this cold weather has come to an end.
Winter is here, can spring be far behind?
Su Zhi was standing in front of the courtyard gate and suddenly thought of this sentence. She was thinking that winter was almost over, and when spring came, what would this place look like?
Su Zhi looked at the yellow grass and the remaining snow in the distance, the dark green bamboo forest, and the mountains in the distance. She felt dazed for a moment, thinking that she had been in this world for half a year. From her initial discomfort to her current calmness and composure, she has completely adapted to the life here. This is all because of Shen Zian's company. She is really happy now.
Little Hei and Little Bai were running around in the garden. They could run very fast now, but they were still far behind their father. The big white wolf followed behind them, as if it was taking a stroll, and followed them easily. After being taken care of at Su Zhi's house these days, its white fur became even shinier, and it was still as strong as before. From a distance, it looked like a flying cloud.
Dahei stood beside Su Zhi, very quiet. He had always been a very docile dog. Su Zhi thought that Dahei might have been raised by humans before, otherwise a dog that grew up with wolves must be wild and not so docile. Every time she looked into his eyes, she couldn't help but touch his head. Those eyes were exactly the same as Xiaohei's, a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes. No wonder he could charm the holy beast.
"Wife, please go inside. It's cold outside."
Shen Zian came over from behind, stretched out his hands and took Su Zhi's hands. He wrapped them in his hands, pulled them to his mouth, and exhaled hot air to warm her hands.
Su Zhi watched this increasingly handsome man loving her attentively, and saw herself in his eyes. A warm current flowed through her heart, and she wanted to live like this forever, even if she could only be a small peasant woman in her life. She could not live a rich and comfortable life, but as long as he was by her side, warming her hands when she was cold, smiling at her when she was lonely, and never leaving her, this was enough.
"Okay, I'll call Xiao Hei and the others to go back to the house together."
Su Zhi said softly. She called out to Xiao Hei and the other two turned their heads and ran over. In the winter sun, both black and white were shining, although the place was a bit desolate. But the scene was still beautiful.
Shen Zian looked at Su Zhi and Xiao Hei's smiling faces, thinking that this was the life he wanted. He once thought it was just an unattainable dream. And it was better than he imagined. He held Su Zhi's hand tighter, and when Su Zhi smiled, the corners of his mouth curled up, softening his originally cold face.
Just as the white wolf ran in front of Shen Zian and Su Zhi, and they were about to go to the yard together, the white wolf's ears moved and turned to look at the gate.
Shen Zian also looked towards the gate and saw Li Shi walking over.
"Brother Shitou, you came at the right time. I was just thinking of making some delicious dishes. Even if you didn't come, I would have asked Zi'an to invite you. But you came on your own. It's really a treat."
Su Zhi smiled and said that because Li Shi lived alone, although he could cook as a man, his cooking was just average. He also liked the food Su Zhi cooked very much and often came to her house for dinner. Su Zhi also felt that he was a righteous man and treated him as Shen Zian's elder brother. Not only did he cook for her, but she also often asked Shen Zian to invite him to her house for dinner or send him some food. The two families were not far apart, which was quite convenient. As time went by, Li Shi not only treated Su Zhi as his younger sister, but also as his younger sister.
Li Shi was holding a jar in his hand, which was obviously wine. He didn't eat for free when he came here, and of course he didn't pay for it. He would always give more prey to Shen Zian when hunting, or bring wine with him. He always brought wine most of the time, which was not strong enough for Su Zhi to drink a few glasses, so Su Zhi was not afraid.
"Excuse me, sister-in-law." Li Shi handed the wine to Shen Zian, then bent down to touch Xiao Hei's head. He could touch Xiao Hei in front of Da Bai and Da Hei, but Xiao Bai still didn't like to be touched by him. Li Shi was quite envious of Su Zhi and Shen Zian, and felt that the two holy beasts, one big and one small, were close to them. "Xiao Hei, did you miss me? If you do, call me."
Xiao Hei blinked at Li Shi and jumped to Su Zhi's feet.
"This little thing is really spiritual."
Li Shi praised with a smile, then stood up and walked inside with Shen Zian and Su Zhi.
Su Zhi felt that Li Shi was a little different today. Although he had a smile on his face, it seemed that the smile was deliberately put on, and it seemed as if he was forcing himself.
Today the weather is a bit cold, Su Zhi made a spicy boiled meat, with green bean sprouts at the bottom and red peppers sprinkled on top. The lean meat is cut into thin slices, and they look almost the same size. A full pot is placed in a ceramic pot, and you can take food photos.
One is stewed pork ribs with radish, one is stir-fried cabbage slices, and the other is stir-fried meat with garlic sprouts.
The steamed white flour buns were cooked to perfect perfection. Some of them were sticking to the edge of the pot, with some burnt bits of dough. Su Zhi loved eating them the most, and found them very crispy and fragrant.
After putting the kang table in place and placing four dishes on it, Su Zhi asked the two to eat the dishes and drink the wine first while she made some soup and then brought the steamed buns over.
"Zi'an, Brother Shitou is a little abnormal today. He seems unhappy. Go and find out what's wrong with him. This kind of wine is not good for your health."
When Shen Zian was helping to serve the dishes, Su Zhi told him that she also respected Li Shi, and he was also her husband's good brother, so naturally she didn't want him to be troubled by anything.
Shen Zian said, "Wife, do you think so too? I've noticed it too. I'll ask about it later. If I can't figure it out, you can help me ask."
Su Zhi nodded and asked Shen Zian to take the dishes and go to accompany Li Shi. She started to make soup skillfully. It was pickled cabbage and mutton soup. Sitting in front of the warm stove, Su Zhi wondered what could make Li Shi unhappy. She thought that maybe it was time for Li Shi to get married, so that there would be someone who would understand him and stay by his side at this time. Although she and Zian respected him, they were no match for the person who was closest to them.
Li Shi saw Shen Zian coming back and asked, "Where's your sister-in-law? Let her come over and eat."
In Shen Zian's house, there has never been any rule that women cannot sit at the table when guests come. Shen Zian loves his wife, Li Shi respects his younger sister-in-law, and Su Zhi, as a new woman born in an era of gender equality, naturally eats at the same table. The rule that women eat by the stove or eat at a separate table has never even occurred to them.
Shen Zian put the dishes on the table, sat on the kang, and said, "She said she would make another soup, let's eat it first. My wife likes this spareribs, save it for her, and we can pick up other dishes and eat them first."
Li Shi was not polite either. He was never too polite in Shen Zian's house, as that would make him seem like an outsider.
The two men opened the wine jar and a scent of wine wafted out, filling the whole house with the aroma.
Su Zhi first brought up the mutton soup, then brought over the steamed buns in a covered basin, sat on the kang, and glanced at Shen Zian, asking him if he had found out anything.
Li Shi smiled and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, please stop making eye contact. Is there anything you can't say to my face? Besides, is there anything you don't want to know? Let me tell you. I won't hide it from you."
Su Zhi smiled and said, "Zi'an, Brother Shitou has said so, so just tell me. If it's nothing, Brother Shitou wouldn't let you tell me. I want to know what it is."
Shen Zian said so. When he said this, the smile on Su Zhi's face disappeared and her thin eyebrows wrinkled slightly. It turned out that the thing that made Li Shi so abnormal was Liu Si Niang's matter.
Liu Siniang's husband Zhao Daliang came back. As soon as he came back, Zhao Daliang went to find Li Shi and talked about this and that. It seemed that he had not come back to visit Li Shi, his close neighbor, for a long time. His words were all about him and Liu Siniang, implying that he heard others say that Liu Siniang had been a little close to him. This made Li Shi feel upset. But Zhao Daliang did not point it out explicitly. Instead, he thanked him for taking good care of his wife, mother and sister, which made him unable to get angry.
Su Zhi had no good feelings towards Zhao Daliang. Although she had never met him, she saw Liu Si Niang's frail appearance and heard her indifference towards her husband. Others also said that even if Zhao Daliang came back, Liu Si Niang would not feel any better. All these made Su Zhi imagine a cold-hearted man in her mind. He could abandon his wife, mother, and sister and stay out for a long time without returning. He let his wife be bullied by his mother and sister but never defended her. How could such a man not be cold-hearted?
Now after hearing what Li Shi said, this person's image was further enhanced, that is, he was a little smart, otherwise he would not have treated Li Shi like this.
"Brother Shitou, don't bother with this guy. He's just annoying the more you bother with him. This is also for Si Niang. If you get into a fight with her husband, it won't be good for her either."
Su Zhi thought about Liu Si Niang's situation. From a woman's perspective, she was still thinking about her. A woman's reputation was too important these days. Liu Si Niang's mother-in-law and sister-in-law could talk about their daughter-in-law being involved with other men without caring about their face. God knows if her husband would also be so shameless as to quarrel with Li Shi. In that case, Liu Si Niang would be the one who suffered.
Li Shi nodded and said, "That's why I put up with it. But I didn't expect him to bring up something else. He asked me about his sister. He wanted to marry her to me."
Su Zhi was stunned when she heard this. What was going on? That Zhao Xiaohua, the girl she once thought was after Shen Zian? She wanted to marry Li Shi? Isn't this just a random match? ! (
