The more flustered Pei Yubing became, the more he wanted to find something to keep busy so that he could divert his attention and think less about those annoying things.
So Pei Yubing did whatever she had to do on the surface. Under her care, the courtyard was already full of vitality again.
Chu Huizhou is the only one with a forgiving heart among the trio. Although he came here alone, he still doesn't know where the way forward is.
It should have been a sorrowful thing, but he believed that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. He thought that he might be able to write a book about his experiences in the future, eating and drinking when he should, looking careless.
"Ms. Pei's craftsmanship is really outstanding. Even this ordinary stir-fried cabbage becomes crispy and sweet through Miss Pei's hands."
I didn't expect that Pei Yubing's cooking skills were so good. In their modern restaurant, they wouldn't be able to sell it for 39 a plate.
Chu Huizhou secretly thought that he had made a lot of money and ate several bowls of white porridge with cabbage. He patted his stomach and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.
Pei Yubing could hear Chu Huizhou's sincere praise. He had seen Pei Shuxue frowning and sighing worriedly these days, and seeing Chu Huizhou's cheerful look again, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Having someone with such a boisterous personality around is a good thing.
"Thank you Mr. Chu for the compliment."
Pei Yubing's eyebrows were curved, her beautiful eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and she smiled at Chu Huizhou.
If Chu Huizhou had seen Pei Yubing who was in Pei Mansion before, he would know that this smile was anything but polite.
Although Pei Yubing was the adopted daughter of the Pei family, the dignity and elegance she had raised since she was a child were engraved in her bones, and her every move was in the style of aristocratic families. Even when he smiles, his eyebrows and eyes are slightly curved, and the muscles on his face are not greatly affected. Only the corners of his mouth are slightly moved, and he purses his lips to reveal a very restrained smile.
The jaws of the men who came to ask for Pei Yubing's hand dropped to the ground when they saw her.
Although Chu Huizhou didn't know how different this smile was, he looked away in a panic. In his previous life, he was in the music circle, and there were many handsome men and beautiful women around him. He must have been immune to beautiful skin.
After time travel, he clearly thought that Miss Pei was good-looking, but now that he has lived with Miss Pei for a few days, he has become familiar with any face, no matter how beautiful it is, so he is no longer surprised.
Pei Yubing's smile made him slightly confused. He felt awkward continuing to sit here, so he excused himself to go to the front yard to fetch water.
Pei Yubing didn't notice anything was wrong with Chu Huizhou, but Pei Shuxue looked at the two of them with half-closed eyes, and when Chu Huizhou went out, he said to Pei Yubing who was sitting in front of him.
"Dad will never agree to you and Mr. Chu being together."
"Cough..." Pei Yubing choked as soon as he took a sip of saliva. He coughed several times before he recovered. Whether it was from shyness or discomfort, his ears were so red that they seemed to be bleeding.
Her round, almond-shaped eyes glared at Pei Shuxue.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Pei Shuxue shrugged and said nothing.
In order to save dry food, they have been eating porridge these days. The two girls of the Pei family are okay, but the big man Chu Huizhou has suffered a lot. Even if he drank three bowls at one go, he couldn't resist the rising hunger. .
Whenever two or three hours after eating, Chu Huizhou would gasp from hunger. But he couldn't help but take some fruits from the small space of the jade pendant and eat alone with the two girls on his back.
The main thing is to take out some strawberries and oranges. It’s hard to explain to the ancients what these things are...
Pei Yubing noticed that Chu Huizhou was always depressed for a few hours after a meal. It was not that he was observing him intentionally, but the courtyard was so big that any movement between them could not escape each other's eyes.
The water in the water tank in the yard needs to be fetched from the nearby river and poured into it before it can be used.
This job naturally fell on the only man, Chu Huizhou. When he saw that the water in the water tank was almost empty, he picked up the bucket and walked to the edge of the water pool.
He was already hungry at this time. He lowered his head and absentmindedly thought about finding a place where no one was around to eat some fruit.
Pei Yubing originally planned to go out to pick some vegetables. When he saw Chu Huizhou mumbling something, he followed Chu Huizhou at a distance out of curiosity. Before he reached the river, he saw Chu Huizhou holding a wooden stick. He put the bucket on the edge of the small pool and sighed deeply.
Chu Huizhou stood by the river with his arms akimbo and sighed at his reflection in the lake. Even now, he still couldn't get used to himself with long hair.
"Oh, I really want to eat steak hot pot, ice cream and bread... If there is no bread in this era, then steamed buns will do."
After all the words were said, Pei Yubing was confused, and in the end he only understood the word "steamed buns". It turned out that he was greedy, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny.
As for steamed buns...
Pei Yubing returned to the yard and immediately counted their bags. She remembered that they had flour.
Sure enough, a small bag of flour was found in the gray-blue bag in the carriage.
Pei Yubing had a smile on his face.
In the evening, Chu Huizhou wandered back from nowhere. As soon as he entered the small courtyard, he smelled a sweet smell coming from the simple small kitchen.
As soon as Chu Huizhou stepped in, he happened to bump into Pei Yubing opening the steamer. In front of him, lying fat and white, was the steamed bun that he had been thinking about this morning.
Chu Huizhou scratched his head, his expression was one of surprise, and his eyes lit up at this moment.
"So you can also make steamed buns."
Pei Yubing did not answer his words, but just looked at him with a smile. Chu Huizhou walked over and helped to pick out the steamed buns one by one.
A bag of flour, except for making steamed buns. I also used the remaining flour to make three bowls of noodles, and threw two small green vegetables in them.
It was obviously white soup and white noodles, but she cooked it to the level of a restaurant.
Chu Huizhou was particularly satisfied with his meal tonight. It could be seen that the porridge and side dishes he usually had was a bit unfair to him.
Now that Pei Yubing has discovered this, he can't pretend that he doesn't know about it. Fortunately, he has nothing to do during the day, so he spends more time on food. Whenever he cooks, he will give Chu Huizhou some extra staple food.
Pei Yubing is beautiful, thoughtful, excellent at cooking, and very good at taking care of others.
Then I remembered Pei Yubing's identity. In this era, marriage is the most involuntary thing for women.
Thinking of this, Chu Huizhou narrowed his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
After waiting in the hut for several days, there was still no news. Except for Pei Shuxue, even Pei Yubing was a little panicked.
Jiang Yun said before asking for the news, three days at the latest.
The small courtyard suddenly became gloomy, and even the smile on Chu Huizhou's face disappeared.
