The next day, Xi Jin got up early and started making breakfast.
On weekdays, Xie Luo makes most of the breakfasts, but yesterday he was probably too drunk. It was rare that he got up, but he was still sleeping.
Xi Jin looked at his handsome and calm face and suddenly felt embarrassed thinking of his extraordinary behavior last night.
He won't remember it, right? After all, he was so drunk.
Xi Jin felt that his head was in chaos at this moment, and shame kept pouring into his heart.
She has always been a reserved and self-respecting person, but she didn't know if she was bewitched by Xie Luo last night, and she even took the initiative to kiss him.
Xi Jin thought that Xie Luo was very drunk last night, so he wanted to make a hearty breakfast for him.
But as soon as Xi Jin sat down in front of the stove and lit the fire, she felt the heat was unbearable.
The weather in Yazhou is changeable. It seems to have become much hotter overnight.
It took Xi Jin about half an hour to cook porridge and breakfast.
Thinking about it this way, how early does Xie Luo get up on weekdays?
Xi Jin felt ashamed for a while, thinking that he must get up early in the future and share more of Xie Luo's work.
Xi Jin wiped the sweat from his forehead. The weather was getting hotter and hotter. After lighting the fire in the kitchen, it was too hot for dining. Xi Jin placed breakfast on the table in the room.
Xi Jin made a pot of lily porridge, cooked the wild eggs that Xie Luo had brought from the mountain last time, and added a plate of pickles given by Lan Er Niang, which was quite refreshing and delicious.
Xie Luo heard the noise and sat up from the bed in a daze. Seeing that Xi Jin had prepared breakfast, he felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry Jin'er, I got up late."
"It's okay, it's still early. Go wash up and come over for dinner!" Xi Jin placed the chopsticks and sat down to wait for Xie Luo to have breakfast together.
Xie Luo quickly washed up and sat at the dining table: "Jin'er, it was my fault yesterday. I must have made you wait anxiously, right?"
"Remember to tell me in advance next time." Everything has passed, and Xie Luo's attitude is so good, she has no reason to scold him, "otherwise I will be worried."
"Okay." Xie Luo took the porridge handed over by Xi Jin and ate it happily.
Yesterday, he originally wanted to talk to her first when he came back, but he was stopped by his brothers in the camp, who kept drinking him.
He usually drank a few glasses of wine, and the wine in the military camp was much stronger than ordinary wine. He drank pot after pot and got drunk very quickly. It was really a waste of time to drink.
Seeing that Xie Luo was just eating porridge without saying anything, Xi Jin couldn't help but asked with concern: "Is your head still uncomfortable?"
"It's not uncomfortable." Xie Luo looked at Xi Jin and smiled, "Your hangover soup is very effective."
Xi Jin thought of the way Xie Luo behaved when he drank the hangover soup last night. For a grown man, he had to ask her to feed him spoonful by spoonful, which was really different from his usual appearance.
"It's better to drink less in the future, drinking will harm your health."
"Okay, it's all up to Jin'er." Xie Luo raised her lips slightly and spoke in a gentle tone. He handed her an egg and said, "Thank you for your hard work last night. Eat more."
Hearing this, Xi Jin looked at the meaningful smile in his eyes, and immediately felt ashamed. Did he think of something?
Seeing Jin'er's shy look, Xie Luo was too embarrassed to mention what happened last night, so he changed the topic: "Jin'er, didn't you say you wanted to build a new house earlier? Now I'm the deputy commander of the Pioneer Battalion. If I'm qualified, I can I’m building a new house. After two days of rest, I’ll go talk to the village chief and ask him to go with me to the county government for approval.”
The reason why they have not built a new house is not because they are short of money, but because it is not justified. Now, everything is taken for granted.
"That's great!" Xi Jin put down his chopsticks and thought about it seriously, "We must plan it carefully. I don't know if the climate in Yazhou is the same as that in Beijing. I always feel that it gets hotter in Yazhou earlier than in Beijing. Yes, we must build a pavilion with ventilation on all sides, where we can not only eat, but also enjoy the mountain scenery and stars. Do you think that’s okay?”
"Okay." Xie Luo smiled gently, "I'll listen to you."
Xie Luo looked at Xi Jin's red lips lightly parted with a smile, and remembered the way she took the initiative to kiss him last night, and subconsciously touched his lips, filled with joy.
"Jin'er, did you see the baggage I put on the table yesterday?"
Xi Jin's eyes lit up: "So, are those for me?"
"Yes, of course it's for you." Xie Luo stood up, took the baggage on the side, opened it, and placed the silk thread and powder in front of Xi Jin, "Jin'er, you no longer cover up your appearance. Rouge must be able to use it.”
Xi Jin caressed her face. There is no woman who doesn't love beauty. When she was in her boudoir, she couldn't afford such expensive rouge and gouache. But here in Yazhou, being beautiful is not necessarily a good thing.
"Thank you, but I still prefer these embroidery threads. Rouge and gouache are too troublesome." Xi Jin smiled and neatly arranged the threads in the embroidery basket, and put the rouge and gouache into the cabinet.
"Yes, Jin'er, you have a great appearance, and you look good even without a face." Xie Luo praised unabashedly.
He naturally saw Xi Jin's concerns. He had to go to school every day and left Xi Jin alone at home. He was really worried. If something like Lan'er happened again, he would regret it.
It looks like I need to find a way.
Xi Jin stroked the embroidery thread in the embroidery basket. It was bright in color, extremely tough, and of high quality: "Do you still remember the last time I said I wanted to embroider a mugwort purse for you? I will make it for you after I hand in work to Miss Ding today. It can be regarded as a thank you for giving me such a good embroidery thread."
"Okay." Xie Luo reached out and held Xi Jin's soft and white hand, "Jin'er, I want to ask you..."
"Sister Jin." Ji'er's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Xi Jin quickly stood up and picked up an egg on the table: "Ji'er is here. I'll go out and take a look."
Xi Jin opened the door and came out. Ji'er was standing at the door. Seeing Xi Jin, he quickly asked anxiously: "Sister Jin, do you have anything to do today?"
Xi Jin put a wild egg into his hand: "Take the egg and eat it. You can continue to pick wormwood for me today. The more the better."
The weather is getting hotter and there are more mosquitoes, especially in a thatched house like theirs, where mosquitoes are hard to guard against.
She planned to make some moxa sticks to repel mosquitoes.
"Okay, this is easy." Ji'er agreed, looking at the egg in his hand, hesitantly asked, "Sister Jin, can I give this egg to my sister?"
"Your sister?"
Ji'er pointed to Zhao Qiaoniang who was standing far away: "After the work in the workshop is finished, my sister has no money to earn. She is reluctant to eat, so she leaves all the delicious food to me."
Ji'er pursed her lips and said worriedly: "Sister almost fainted this morning. I also saw blood on my sister's skirt. I wanted to bring her over for you to see, but she stood there and refused to come. Sister Jin , you said my sister won’t die, right?”
Xi Jin thought for a while, and Ji'er said that the skirt was covered in blood, probably because Zhao Qiaoniang was menstruating.
Xi Jin gently stroked Ji'er's head: "Ji'er is such a good brother. Don't worry, your sister will be fine. Just wait, I'll get you something. Your sister will be fine after eating it. .”
Xi Jin went back to the house and took out half a jar of brown sugar, which Xie Luo had brought back from town when she had her menstruation last time.
Xie Luo was packing things to go to the school grounds. When he saw Xi Jin taking out brown sugar, he asked nervously: "Jin'er, are you... are you okay? I remember your little day has not come yet, right?"
