Being dragged into the house by Yang Ruoqing like this, the third girl felt nervous, especially worried that Yang Ruoqing would pull her into the house to greet them.
In the end, Yang Ruoqing didn't do this and dragged her directly to the stove in the main room.
"Look, these are the few pieces of cake left in the morning. I originally planned to heat them up for them to make do with, but I thought the cake would be dry. It's great that you brought mushrooms. There just happen to be eggs here. Let's talk about it later. Wash some mushrooms, pick some young wild vegetables, and make egg drop mushroom soup for them to eat with pancakes."
"Hey, okay, I'll follow my sister's arrangements. I'll pick the wild vegetables first."
The two sisters got busy, picking vegetables and washing mushrooms to make soup...
In the west room, the men were still busy at work, and the sound of banging and clanging kept coming. Xiang Shengnan was transporting the excavated soil out again and again.
The third girl came in from outside washing vegetables and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Sister, I saw brother-in-law Sheng Nan jumping the dirt behind the house, and it was covered with a thick layer on the ground. I thought about it, if I look back and Sister Xiaoduo throws it The soil is flat and flat, and it can be used to create several vegetable gardens. It is really convenient to plant some vegetables."
Yang Ruoqing responded to the third girl's words with a smile while cracking the eggs: "We thought of it, and I thought so too. When I saw Duo'er later, I suggested to her that it happens to be the best time to plant vegetables."
The aroma soon wafted out of the kitchen.
Yang Ruoqing wiped her hands on her apron and told the three girls to prepare the dishes, while she went to the west room to call them over for dinner.
In the west room, the previously two-meter-deep pit has now been dug to nearly four meters. Except that the color of the soil is darker than the top, there is nothing unusual about it.
Liu Xueyun squatted on the ground and fiddled with the soil, as if studying something. Luo Fengtang and Narisong stood beside him.
"Haven't dug it yet?" Yang Ruoqing appeared behind them.
That Risong said: "It was a bit of a miscalculation. I was following Feng Tang's suggestion about digging from a different angle, but he is as stubborn as Xueyun. Once he identifies this spot, he has to dig all the way to the end."
Luo Fengtang turned around and was surprised when he saw Yang Ruoqing jumping into the pit.
"Qing'er, why are you down here? It's dirty here, I'll send you up..."
"It's okay, I came down to call you up to have lunch."
After lunch, Narisong's eyes lit up and he was really hungry.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
He threw away the shovel in his hand, grabbed the wall of the pit with both hands, and climbed up.
Luo Fengtang also put the tools in his hands aside and patted Liu Xueyun on the shoulder: "Go to eat first, and then dig after eating."
Liu Xueyun was still squatting on the ground, tinkering, and said without looking back: "You go and eat first, and I will think about it..."
"You can't think of anything when you're hungry. Come on, let's go and eat with us. There's something delicious this afternoon!"
Yang Ruoqing went up and pulled him up.
Liu Xueyun had no choice but to follow behind.
In the main room and kitchen, the three girls fetched a basin of water and put it there for them to wash their hands.
Risong was a chatterbox on that day, and he had watched the third girl grow up. No, he was teasing the third girl while washing his hands.
"When did you girl come here? Why is there no movement?"
"Brother, I've been here for a while."
"Are you here specifically to help your sister cook?"
"Hmm... It's not that special. Just come in and help me when you're passing by."
"Hehe, I thought you came here specifically to see me, your elder brother..."
The third girl blushed and really didn't know how to answer this.
"Bah, I'm looking at you specifically. Is your face bigger than your butt? You're shameless!" A laugh and curse came from behind, and Yang Ruoqing came out.
Risong smiled playfully on that day, "Qing'er, you are too aggressive. Look at how quiet and shy the third girl is. This is what a woman's family should be like!"
"Don't let me, a man and a woman, wash your hands before eating. There is so much nonsense." Yang Ruoqing glared at Narisong, and went straight to the pot and table to prepare the dishes.
Luo Fengtang saw the third girl here, glanced at Liu Xueyun behind him, and immediately understood why his wife had to drag Liu Xueyun up.
"Qing'er, let me help you."
Luo Fengtang hurried over to help Yang Ruoqing, and the third girl's position was instantly replaced.
"Third girl, hurry up and bring some water for Brother Liu to wash his hands!" Yang Ruoqing took the time to give an order pretending to be normal.
"Hey, okay."
The third girl came back to her senses and quickly came over to pick up the water in the basin and pour it to the door. She scooped up clean water and brought it to Liu Xueyun. She whispered: "Brother Liu, wash your hands."
Liu Xueyun glanced at the third girl and saw that her face was turning red to the back of her ears. He was secretly surprised. It must have been the effect of Risong's previous teasing words.
He thanked her, rolled up his sleeves, and took a wash in the basin she was holding.
The third girl lowered her head and held the two ends of the basin tightly with both hands. She didn't know why she didn't dare to look into his eyes. She obviously didn't do anything wrong.
His eyes fell on his hands. He washed off the dust on his hands, revealing their original appearance. His hands were very big, much larger than hers, and there were thick calluses between the fingers of his right hand.
She had heard from Brother Xiaoan and the others that these cocoons were produced by those who practice swordsmanship, just like villagers who are accustomed to holding a hoe handle. They would leave many marks on their bodies over time.
There is also an obvious scar on the back of his hand, like a centipede lying diagonally on several fingers.
A picture suddenly popped up in Sanya's mind. When the opponent's sword was slashed, he couldn't find the weapon and subconsciously raised his hand to block...
The center of her eyebrows couldn't help but twitch slightly. The water in the basin swayed violently, but the next moment the basin stabilized again.
"Are you okay?" He held the basin with his hand, and his fingertips touched her hand.
She froze in place and shook her head slightly: "No, it's okay. I'll pour the water."
She picked up the basin and turned out of the main room. When she turned around, her braided black hair swung behind her in a light arc.
"Xueyun, come here and eat!"
At the pot table, Yang Ruoqing started greeting again.
"coming."
Liu Xueyun came to his senses and came to the stove.
Yang Ruoqing stuffed him with two pieces of cake and scooped him a bowl of egg drop mushroom soup.
"Have a try. The third girl picked these fresh mushrooms, and she also cooked the soup."
Several men stood or squatted, eating cakes and soup. Yang Ruoqing called the three girls to come over and eat together.
The third girl glanced at the big guy, and the corner of her eye paused a little longer on Liu Xueyun.
"Sister Qing'er, I won't eat here, you can eat..."
Yang Ruoqing said: "You've already eaten this meal, so you don't have to make any more. Besides, just now Shengnan took the wheat flour, and we've made several more cakes, which is enough for us to eat. Come on, come on!"
The third girl can only stay and eat with everyone.
