Wei Qi glanced at the Wei family's large brick house with tiles from a distance, his eyes narrowed, his expression unclear. Huo Shichu thought he was emotionally moved by the scene, and remembered his family's indifference to him, so he comforted him and said: " You don’t need to be too sad. Some people are born with cold skin and cannot be covered with warmth. Now that your feet are better, you will be fine in the future."
Wei Qi saw her conscientious expression to comfort him and couldn't help but curl his lips. He didn't explain to her that he wasn't sad. He just replied in a low voice: "I understand."
He wouldn't feel sorry for the Wei family's ruthlessness. He just felt aggrieved for Wei Dalang. He felt that the big blue brick house built with the money Wei Dalang earned with his life on the battlefield was an eyesore, since none of the heroes could live there. , then it does not need to exist.
Wei Qi came from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the apocalypse. He had seen all kinds of evil people's hearts, and his heart had been tempered to be extremely hard. How could he let his enemies live in the house built with Wei Dalang's blood and sweat? ?
Wei Qi had many thoughts in his mind, but he didn't show any of them on his face. He followed Huo Shichu back home and ignored the villagers who said that the couple was a perfect match.
"From today on, you have to learn how to cook with me." Huo Shichu said to Wei Qi very seriously with his hands on his hips, "In the past month or so, because your leg injury has not healed, I have done all kinds of housework. , but now that you are well, you should share half of it, what do you think?"
What else could Wei Qi say, but of course he could only agree. He was not a native of the area, and he couldn't do such a thing as leaving all the housework to a woman, so he said simply: "Yes, I will study hard. "
When Huo Shichu saw that he accepted it so quickly and had such a good attitude, without any chauvinism, he glanced at him in surprise, just in time to see his clear eyes looking at her very seriously, with no trace of dissatisfaction in them. Yue didn't force it, but seemed to be looking forward to it?
Of course Wei Qi will be looking forward to it. The food he eats in the apocalypse can only fill his stomach, and it is impossible to pursue taste. At the beginning of the apocalypse, he can still find a variety of fast food or food with a long shelf life, and the taste is not bad; but wait Three or four years after the apocalypse, the food before the apocalypse is gone, and they can only eat mutated animals and plants.
The meat of mutated animals and plants has no taste at all, and humans are busy running for their lives and cannot have time and energy to develop dishes. Being able to cook mutated animals and plants and eat them is already very good, so Wei Qi in the last days of the apocalypse It’s hard to describe the food we’ve had for several years.
And before the end of the world, he was the son of a big family. He had never touched the spring water with his fingers, and it was impossible for him to cook, so he didn't know how to cook.
At this moment, Huo Shichu offered to let him learn, and he was eager to do so. After all, no one could do it as well as him. He still didn't have to continue to torture his taste buds even if he lived alone again.
Huo Shichu then began to teach Wei Qi how to cook. The two of them were both serious and smart, so Wei Qi's cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds.
Once, Aunt Zhou saw Wei Qi cooking. She was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground, and she said to Huo Shichu:
"Xiao Huo? How can you let Da Lang cook? If he is a grown man and is known to do these things, he will be looked down upon by others, and you will also be called a lazy woman. How can a serious woman let herself be A man who cooks? It’ll be chewed up by other people’s tongues!”
Huo Shichu waved his hand and said, "Aunt Zhou, I recently had a big cut on my palm. I can't work anymore. The pain makes me sweat when I exert myself. So I have to let Wei Qi cook by himself. He If we don’t do it, we won’t even be able to eat.”
She didn't know when she took the bandage she had used to bandage her leg wound and wrapped it around her right hand. She complained to Aunt Zhou in a serious manner: "It's all because of my clumsiness. I cut my palm when chopping wood. Alas!"
Aunt Zhou was shocked when she saw her tightly bandaged palms: "Why are you so careless?! Dalang finally recovered from his injury, and you are injured again. How about you go to the temple sometime?" Goodbye, you two are too unlucky."
As soon as Huo Shichu interrupted, Aunt Zhou forgot about Wei Qi's cooking. Wei Qi silently raised his eyes, looked at the bumbling Huo Shichu, then silently averted his eyes, and continued to be his "family member" "The cook" went.
After Aunt Zhou left, Wei Qi asked her, "Why didn't you just tell Aunt Zhou that I was going to cook? Instead, you started tossing your own hands?"
Huo Shichu glanced at him and said:
"It has long been ingrained in her mind that men should not cook. Otherwise, either the women in the family are lazy or the men are worthless and useless. Why bother talking to her? It is not easy to convince her. If you speak too harshly, she will be hurt. "She is a very nice neighbor to you. She doesn't want you to cook because she thinks it's for your own good. Do you want to openly oppose her? It's easier for me to find an excuse."
Wei Qi was convinced by her words and said nothing more. Anyway, Aunt Zhou didn't come to see who was cooking in his kitchen three times a day, so that was it.
Another month later, Wei Qi's legs were completely healed. He was like a bird that had been released. He spent the whole day either hunting in the mountains or doing business in the town. People in the village marveled at him when they saw him coming and going in such a hurry. My legs are recovering so well that it’s no longer obvious that they were so injured that I couldn’t get out of bed just two months ago.
Those who had good intentions went to the Wei family to ask old man Wei and Mrs. Wei if she regretted driving away Dalang Wei and losing a strong and capable laborer.
Even if Old Man Wei and Mrs. Wei felt a little regretful in their hearts, they couldn't admit it on their faces. How could they not regret the loss of a strong man like Dalang Wei who could be used as an old scalper? After all, with Wei Dalang, their sons don't have to work so hard.
It's useless to just regret. The family has been divided and the relationship has been broken. No matter how well Wei Dalang recovers, he will never come back. Old man Wei and Mrs. Wei can only listen to others with cold expressions that Wei Dalang has been captured again today. How much can a wild boar and a few pheasants caught tomorrow be sold for?
Every time they hear it, they can't help but think how great it would be if they could get the money from selling the wild boar and pheasant.
It's not that Old Wei never thought about easing the relationship with Wei Dalang, but every time Wei Qi met him, he pretended not to see him and ignored his hesitation. After doing this several times, he had no shame in "encountering" him again. Wei got up, because others saw his little thoughts, and others said behind his back that he was a thick-skinned old man. When he saw someone injured, he thought they were a burden, so he immediately got rid of them; when he saw someone recovered and could work, he got close to him again... …Why does he have a face?
After hearing this a few times, Old Wei felt ashamed and no longer had the shame to approach Wei Qi.
