"When we move, do you want to hire two people to take care of you?" An Yan took the opportunity to ask them.
"No need. We are in good health. If it doesn't work, let Yan Qingqiu come over to help. He is hanging out outside anyway. We have food, drink and shelter here, so we won't treat him unfairly." Hua Ye said as he drank the soup, praising it, "This chicken soup is really delicious."
"No matter how delicious the drink is, you can't drink too much. You should be more moderate. Your stomach and intestines can't take it." An Cheng reminded him. He was afraid that he would be greedy and eat too much, and then complain of bloating.
Grandpa Hua laughed and said to Li Rongsen, "Come on, boy, eat more. Come to work more often when you have time, and help my beloved apprentice with some work as well."
"Okay." Li Rongsen agreed immediately.
Although An Yan felt that it was not nice for Hua Ye to order people around like this, she did not refute immediately. She just lowered her head and ate silently. After eating, she put the dishes in the kitchen and then began to help An Cheng clean up.
Li Rongsen also came in and said to An Yan: "I can't cook, but I can wash dishes."
"No need, I've almost finished cleaning up, so that my dad won't be in a rush again later." An Yan packed up some unneeded dishes and put them in the cupboard, and rubbed the dishcloth.
"When the time comes, we'll provide them with a set of kitchen utensils, including a dishwasher, disinfection cabinet and so on, so they don't have to worry too much," said Li Rongsen.
"You need to build them an earthen stove, just like this kitchen. They like to cook like this." An Yan reminded him not to forget.
Li Rongsen nodded and said, "I know. The two kitchens are connected and have doors on both sides. This is more convenient."
"Let's build a vegetable garden in front and grow some common vegetables." said Anyan.
"I'll build a sink next to the vegetable patch to make it easier to wash the vegetables."
"Let's build a small orchard near the wall. We don't need to plant too many things, just some orange trees or something like that." An Yan thought this arrangement was good.
"Okay." Li Rongsen nodded and said, "I'll build a peach orchard in the backyard and a two-story building in the orchard. I can see peach blossoms in the spring and eat peaches in the summer. What do you think?"
An Yan looked at Li Rongsen and thought to herself that he had taken her words to heart. She did not express her opinion.
Li Rongsen added: "When you go to visit them, you can stay there."
"When can we start work?" An Yan was very concerned about this matter.
"In the past two days, I have asked them to buy all the materials. Today, I will also take Mr. Hua and your father's requirements into consideration in the design."
"Are we really going to buy a donkey?" An Yan asked. He felt that the two old men seemed to be living in ancient times. Why did they have to get a donkey?
"Yes, buy a donkey to help them grind beans. That's not bad, it's like having a pet." Li Rongsen thought it was nothing. He could just design a donkey shed in the corner of the yard. It wasn't difficult.
"Raising chickens and ducks is not enough." An Yan shook her head slightly and laughed.
Li Rongsen asked again: "Wait until they build the frame of the house, and then we can go over and take a look, how about that?"
"Okay." An Yan nodded, and as she closed the cabinet door, she remembered something and said, "It would be nice to raise bees."
"That's a good idea. I just discussed this with your dad. I always feel like something is missing, and that's beekeeping." Grandpa Hua walked in, looking very excited, and said, "Honey can also maintain your health, it's a good thing."
An Yan saw Hua Ye so happy and smiled too.
Li Rongsen said: "It really is a farmyard."
"I think it's a good idea after thinking about it." An Yan nodded and saw Hua Ye running out again, probably to tell An Cheng. She said, "I'm going to find Xiao Hua later to see if there's anything I can help with. By the way, I'll talk to Yan Qingqiu about the poison."
"Okay." Li Rongsen nodded. When he saw An Yan was about to peel an apple, he took it and said, "Let me peel it. I know how to do it."
But in fact, Li Rongsen didn't know how to do it. He had lived a life of luxury since he was a child, and had never peeled an apple before. However, his posture of holding the knife was quite professional. He peeled slowly and tried to make the peel smooth, as seriously as if he was polishing a diamond.
An Yan, who was watching from the side, felt that he was too slow. She picked up an apple and peeled it directly with a bone-cutting knife. It was done in a few strokes, and the skin was still connected. She said, "Just put it down. You are the eldest young master, it is normal that you can't do it."
"No, no, no, I really can." Li Rongsen thought to himself that he was too weak. Not only could he not cook, but now he couldn't even peel an apple. Besides, he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of An Yan.
It was this thought that distracted him and caused him to cut his finger, and a trace of blood came out.
An Yan took out a band-aid slowly, snatched the apple from his hand before he could come to his senses, and skillfully put it on him, then said, "Don't be so stubborn, everyone has their own expertise."
Li Rongsen looked at the Band-Aid on his thumb and felt a little discouraged and embarrassed.
An Yan disagreed and said, "I'll bring the fruit over and then leave." After that, she picked up the fruit plate and went out.
When An Cheng saw her coming, he said, "Don't do anything when you come here. Dad is here. I'll do it."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"I'm not here as a guest, and it's just a small matter." An Yan smiled and put the fruit plate in the middle, and then said, "I have to go first. I have to go find Xiaohua."
"Who is Xiaohua?" asked Grandpa Hua.
"Xiaohua is a friend of mine, a good girl with a kind heart." An Yan said as she put on her bag.
When she walked into the yard, she found Li Rongsen handing her something. On top was an apple, but it was carved into a peony flower, and underneath was a bamboo chopstick. He said, "I said I would."
"Very good." An Yan took it.
Li Rongsen also followed her out and said, "I'll take you there."
"Don't you have anything else to do?" An Yan asked him.
"It's time to get off work, and I don't need to fall in love." Li Rongsen said as he opened the car door and motioned An Yan to sit in.
An Yan didn't bother to be polite with him and said, "Let's go to the new house. We'll move in after we clean it up in the next two days. It's also close to where Xiao Hua works."
"Just arrange a few part-time workers to clean the place. Why does she insist on doing it herself?" Li Rongsen said.
This was the education he had received since childhood, so he didn't quite understand how those children from poor families grew up, so An Yan didn't explain much to him and said, "Let's go, let's go."
Li Rongsen parked the car on the side and saw that all the lights in the room were on. He said, "They should be cleaning."
An Yan thought so too. She found that the door was not locked, so she pushed it open and walked in, shouting, "Xiao Hua, where are you?"
Xiaohua didn't answer her.
But An Yan heard a loud sound of water, as if it came from the bathroom. She went there curiously and saw Yan Qingqiu holding Xiaohua's shirt collar and pushing her into the bathtub full of water.
