Thinking of Qin Ye and the Qin family's undue pampering towards Qin Xiaoxiao, Su Lu couldn't be more envious.
They all act like brothers to others, so why is there such a big gap in how they behave?
One is doting on him lawlessly, the other is completely ignoring him, even hating him, and his attitudes towards his younger siblings are completely opposite.
He couldn't understand. How had he offended them? Why do you do this to him?
Did he not give enough money, or were they too greedy?
Su Lu sometimes didn't dare to think about what they would do to him if he didn't take money home from time to time. Will he kick him out of the house cruelly and no longer recognize him?
Over the years, even the warmest hearts gradually become cold. Even if parents mediate in the middle, they cannot restore the gradually disappearing family affection.
Fortunately, it was coming soon. He would soon have enough money to build a house. When he had his own house, he would take his grandparents and parents away from the home that suffocated him.
"What are you thinking about? I've been talking to you for a long time and ignored me?"
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Lu in confusion, pulled Su Lu's sleeves and stopped moving forward.
Su Lu was stunned, then looked back at Qin Xiaoxiao, "Nothing, let's go."
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't let go. He raised his chin and pointed forward in a funny way, "Where are we going? Jumping off the cliff with you?"
Su Lu turned around and looked straight ahead. There was a steep slope under his feet. It was not very high from the ground, but it was still more than two meters away. If he fell, he would inevitably sprain his feet. If he didn't do it well, he might break his leg.
Su Lu was startled and broke into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Qin Xiaoxiao was by his side, otherwise he would have been slightly injured if not dead today.
"Thanks, I was distracted and didn't pay attention."
Su Lu quickly calmed down, held Qin Xiaoxiao's wrist and walked aside. After walking for more than ten meters, he returned to the path down the mountain.
"I'm not telling you, you should follow me wherever I go, and you won't be afraid of me selling you out.
You woke me up in time, otherwise we would both have suffered if we really fell. "
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes at Su Lu, "It's obviously your fault, so you're still reasonable. Besides, don't you know that I'm not familiar with the mountain roads here? I've been lost in the mountains twice, haven't you heard? "
"I know, didn't you save the dog when you lost it last time? It was me who accompanied you down the mountain."
Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered what Su Lu said. It was indeed Su Lu who accompanied her down the mountain that time.
"Remember, you still expect me to take you down the mountain. You are so generous."
Su Lu chuckled, "Isn't this a test for you? It depends on whether you have a long-term attitude. If you have a long-term intention, you will get familiar with Mao'er Mountain in these short two months and prevent yourself from falling into that kind of predicament again. .”
"Just lie. You can find an excuse to benefit yourself no matter what. You are unreasonable. This is the kind of person you are talking about."
"Okay, I'll just take it as you complimenting me, thank you."
"Thank you, was that a compliment? I was obviously calling you sophistry."
"How could that be? I obviously think you are praising me."
"certainly not,……"
The two of them were arguing as they walked down the mountain. Su Lu also protected Qin Xiaoxiao the whole time, holding Qin Xiaoxiao's wrist until they reached the foot of the mountain and saw a figure shaking not far away. Su Lu let go and let Qin Xiaoxiao go. Xiaoxiao walked behind him.
The two of them greeted the villagers who went up the mountain in a natural manner, without any embarrassment. Although the villagers were confused about how the two people got together, they didn't think much about it, and they wouldn't say anything. After all, Qin Xiaoxiao was so busy these days. But I have taught them a lot of things, so they can live more comfortably this winter.
Su Lu very responsibly sent Qin Xiaoxiao to the back door of the Educated Youth Academy. He waited until Qin Xiaoxiao entered the door before walking back.
Returning to the Educated Youth Institute, Qin Xiaoxiao first put the shovel in the house to avoid losing it. This is a collective thing, and if it is lost, it will be compensated.
Then I washed my hands, put the persimmons that were dried a few days ago into a box to cover the frost, put a layer of persimmon skin underneath, then arranged the persimmons neatly, spread another layer of persimmon skin on top, and finally sealed the box, so that it could be covered with frost. The box has arrived.
The hair had been dried a long time ago. Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at the sky and prepared to light up the fire and fry it in a pot before cooking.
The first pot of fried melon seeds is the original melon seeds. Pour half of the pot of melon seeds into it and stir-fry them back and forth. The heat should be too high, otherwise the melon seeds will become mushy if they are not stir-fried in time. The mushy melon seeds will not taste good.
After frying the first pot of melon seeds, spread them flat on a piece of cloth to dry, and then put them away when they cool down.
After the melon seeds were fried, Qin Xiaoxiao started to cook today's dinner.
I made a dish of scrambled eggs with celery, a dish of red pepper soup, and took out the vegetarian steamed buns stored in the space, and it was a complete dinner.
After dinner, Qin Ye came over.
"Why didn't you go home for dinner today? Nai asked me to come over and ask, did you eat tonight? What did you eat? Do you want to go home and eat more?"
Qin Xiaoxiao shook his head, "Today I went to the mountain to dig two traps, planning to catch some rabbits, pheasants and the like to replenish my body in the winter. I was too tired and didn't want to move, so I didn't go back.
By the way, brother, I met Su Lu on the mountain. He also said that there is no prey in Maoer Mountain. If you want to catch rabbits, you have to go to Maoer Mountain.
How about we go there one day carrying milk? "
Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to trick Qin Ye into taking her to the cat's ear spot, but Qin Ye refused without even thinking.
"No, I won't let you go, and Mao'er Mountain is indeed quite dangerous. I didn't lie to you.
Be obedient, we won’t go. In a few days, when I have nothing to do, I will go by myself. "
Qin Xiaoxiao waved his hands quickly, "No, don't go there without taking me. You also said it's dangerous. What if you encounter wolves and wild boars? As long as I'm here, you can run an errand back and ask someone to help you.
Brother, just take me there, I promise not to run around. "
Qin Ye didn't agree with anything he said, and no matter how Qin Xiaoxiao begged him, he remained unmoved.
Qin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to give up temporarily and wait until he found an opportunity later.
From then on, Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu would secretly go up to the mountain almost every week to roast pheasants or roast rabbits. Even if they didn't catch anything in Mao'er Mountain, Su Lu would go to Mao'er Mountain and make sure to bring it with him when he came back. Go back to the game to satisfy Qin Xiaoxiao's greed.
After several contacts, the relationship between Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu quickly heated up. Both of them recognized that the other was a good match and a friend who could eat, drink and have fun together.
The weather is getting colder and colder, so Qin Xiaoxiao also puts on cotton-padded clothes and trousers. The cotton-padded clothes he is wearing now belong to the original owner. Although Qin Xiaoxiao doesn't dislike it, he feels a little uncomfortable. What's more, a cotton-padded coat can't be worn all winter. Qin Xiaoxiao was thinking about getting dressed again.
The cotton in the space is ready-made, but it is different from that in this era. If it is taken out, something will happen, so Qin Xiaoxiao found Sun Zhirou by the way when he went to the city to collect subsidies, and wanted her to see if she could get more cotton. Buy some cotton.
Unfortunately, Qin Xiaoxiao's idea came to nothing. Cotton in the supply and marketing cooperative must be purchased with tickets. Without cotton tickets, Sun Zhirou had nothing to do.
