Chapter 154 Talking About Promise (Part 2)
Zhou Shiya entered the room, looked at the layout of the living room and frowned and said, "This place is too simple." It said it was the living room, but there was nothing but a few tables.
Yuxi smiled: "It's rarely used here." She lives here, except for her eldest brother and second brother who will come over, no one will visit her throughout the year.
Zhou Shiya said: "Then go and see your bedroom, it must be used every day." The sleeping place is not used every day.
Yuxi's bedroom is also very simple, except for the bed, there are only two wardrobes and a dressing table. On the right side, a small space is separated by a floor-to-ceiling screen with mountains and rivers. Inside is a small desk, on which there are pens, ink, paper, inkstone and books. There is a bench on the left side of the desk, on which there is a blue and white pine, bamboo and plum fish tank with two small fishes in it.
Zhou Shiya looked at the furniture in the room, new is new, but without any pattern, it looks cheap at first glance. Zhou Shiya had an ugly face and asked, "What are these made of?"
Yu Xi smiled and said: "This wood is produced on my own on the mountain, and it is convenient to obtain materials." Although this house is lived in by Chen Guanshi's family, the furniture in this house has been re-purchased. Because of the urgent need, and because Yuxi's requirements were not high, she directly used wood from the mountain to make furniture.
Zhou Shiya's eyes were a little sore, and she even applauded the place where the servants were inferior, and she really was the guy who reported the good news but not the bad news: "You said all day long how good you are in Zhuangzi, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would really believe your words .” Living in this ravine, how can it be so good. She foolishly believed this.
Yuxi smiled and said: "There is no difference between furniture made of ordinary wood and furniture made of rosewood and yellow rosewood. They are both of the same use. Living in Rose Garden before is not much better than here. Rose Garden has not It's spacious here!"
Zhou Shiya said: "Then have you thought about how to live in winter? There is no floor dragon here, what will you do when it is cold winter?" It is no problem now, but it is difficult to move an inch here in winter.
Yuxi smiled and said: "I am preparing to build a kang, and it will be warm to sleep on the kang in winter." Speaking of it, this is also a problem. If there is no earth dragon and only charcoal fire in winter, reading will be a problem.
Zhou Shiya said in a bad mood: "You can think about it." Zhou Shiya was very frustrated, she couldn't help Yuxi.
Yuxi pulled her out of the bedroom and went to the backyard: "Go and see the vegetables I grow." Now most of the vegetables in the backyard are grown by Yuxi herself. Not to mention, under the guidance of someone, the vegetables Yuxi grows are all good.
Zhou Shiya looked at several fields and asked in surprise, "You really planted this?" Cucumbers, beans and eggplants have already sprouted, and now there are cabbages, radishes, celery, etc. in the fields.
Yuxi took the vegetable basket that Kufu handed over, and said with a smile: "Let's pick some cabbage and fry it later. It tastes very good."
Zhou Shiya didn't want to go in, and said, "You don't have to worry about getting your clothes dirty when you go in." If the clothes are dirty and can't be washed, it will be a big loss.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Be careful, you won't stain your clothes." After finishing speaking, she went to the ground and squatted down to pull out a small cabbage, shook the soil, pinched the root, and put it in the basket. .
Seeing Yuxi's skillful movements, Zhou Shiya didn't know what to say: "You pick it, and I'll watch." Yuxi didn't get dirt on the vegetables, which didn't mean she wouldn't get dirt on them. If she soiled [UUReading 00kxs] clothes, her mother might not let her come next time.
Yuxi was not reluctant, and asked Kufu and Caidie to help together. The three of them moved very quickly, picking half of the basket of cabbage almost in the blink of an eye.
As soon as Yuxi returned to the house, Zisu took a pair of shoes and changed them for her, and a little maid brought a basin of water to wash her hands.
Zhou Shiya looked at the cabbages in the basket,
Asked: "Yuxi, did you do it yourself at noon?" Zhou Shiya knew that Yuxi's cooking skills were good, but she only ate pastries, but Yuxi's dishes.
Yuxi chuckled lightly and said, "Let's leave this to the cook! I'll cook myself next time you come." It's time for lunch soon, and if she comes to do it, the lunch will have to be postponed.
Zhou Shiya said with some distress: "I don't know when the next time will be?" Zhou Shiya wanted to stay here for two days, but unfortunately her mother would not agree.
Yuxi also had doubts in her heart: "Didn't you say that your mother forbade you to come here before? Why did your mother agree to allow you to come and see me this time?"
Zhou Shiya shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Yesterday I went to greet my mother, and my mother suddenly agreed to let me come to see you. I think, something good happened to my mother."
Yuxi's heart skipped a beat, Mrs. Zhou is the kind of person who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, so it is impossible to allow Zhou Shiya to visit her for no reason. Yuxi smiled and said: "Maybe your mother is in a good mood, so I will let you come again in two days! But next time I come here, I will stay here for two days, and I will take you to pick chestnuts." less chestnuts.
Zhou Shiya shook her head and said, "Forget it, I heard that there is miasma on the mountain, and people who are not in good health will get sick. I don't want to go back and take medicine." Not only are there many insects on the mountain, but she is worried that there are also insects, ants, mice, and spiders here. It's scary just thinking about it.
Zi Su frowned slightly.
Yuxi smiled and said, "You're right, I didn't think about it." Zhou Shiya wasn't her, she was the real daughter, how could she go climbing a mountain. Besides, there are indeed many bugs on the mountain. If they bite her and cause red bumps, Mrs. Zhou will definitely complain. I didn't feel it before, but this time I really felt that there was still a big gap between her and Zhou Shiya.
Lunch is not a big meal, only six dishes and one soup, which are eight treasure rabbit diced, emerald shrimp, hot and sour lion head, steamed fish, fried cabbage, mapo tofu, and chicken soup with dangshen and wolfberry.
After eating, Zhou Shiya asked: "Did you bring the cook here?" Zhou Shiya had eaten in Yuxi's yard before, and the taste was the same as that time.
Yuxi nodded with a smile and said: "I'm used to the dishes cooked by Mrs. Guo. If I change someone, I'm afraid I won't be used to it. So I brought her over."
Zhou Shiya frowned and said, "Yuxi, you can't stay in the country forever, did your aunt tell you when to go back to the capital?"
Yuxi shook her head and said: "I didn't say it. But it's good to carry it on Zhuangzi. It's unrestrained and free." The most important thing is to be quiet.
Zhou Shiya said worriedly: "Yuxi, you will be fourteen in the new year, you can't stay here forever." If you stay here forever, marriage will become a big problem.
Yuxi smiled bitterly and said: "I am in this situation, who dares to marry? Forget it, let's not talk about me, let's talk about you? What is your mother's charter?"
Zhou Shiya was silent for a while, and said: "My second aunt came to the door a few days ago and said that she would tell me to her natal nephew, but my mother refused."
Yuxi is not familiar with Mrs. Zhou's natal family, so it is difficult to express her opinion: "Where is your father? What is your father's opinion?"
Zhou Shiya shook her head helplessly after hearing this, and said: "My father had a crush on a family before, but my mother didn't like it. My father simply ignored it and said that my mother will make trouble."
Yuxi knew that Mrs. Zhou had high vision, but she was too high-sighted. She was worried that she would be too picky and delay Zhou Shiya: "I think as long as the other party has a good family style and self-discipline, it doesn't matter if the others are a little bit worse." "The candidates Mrs. Tuesday has her eyes on are all hot ones. Mrs. Tuesday's natal family is very powerful, her father is a big official in the frontier and holds real power, but no matter how good her natal family is, it's useless if the wife doesn't have the strength. Given the situation of the Zhou family, you can look down on them, but they can't look down on you.
Zhou Shiya shook her head and said, "I've said it many times, but unfortunately my mother just can't listen to it. Forget it, my mother is also doing it for my own good. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry now, and I can let her toss for two years." People like them, There are many people who talk about their relatives with Jiji.
Yuxi laughed: "Look at you, if you are not in a hurry, you are worried about me first."
Zhou Shiya squinted her eyes: "Your situation is different from mine, okay!" She didn't settle down because her mother was too demanding. But Yuxi's situation is a headache.
Yuxi couldn't answer the conversation anymore.
Zhou Shiya didn't think too much, and continued: "Do you know that Jiang Xin is engaged? The engagement is Ji He from Zuodu Censor Ji's family. I didn't expect that the three of us got engaged first."
Yuxi thought for a while and said: "I remember that Mrs. Ji's third wife and Mrs. Jiang are relatives." As for the relatives, she doesn't remember much.
Zhou Shiya smiled and said: "Your memory is really bad. The third wife of the Ji family is the sister of Mrs. Jiang's family who didn't wear five clothes. I haven't seen her for almost three months? I guess I should embroider the dowry now!"
Yuxi lacked interest and said, "Maybe!" Her friendship with Jiang Xin is over. When we meet in the future, it's just to say hello.
Zhou Shiya looked wrong, and asked, "What's the matter? Are you having a fight with Jiang Xin?"
Yuxi shook her head and said: "No. I haven't contacted her for five months, how could we be awkward." She couldn't make a scene even if she wanted to.
Zhou Shiya's complexion changed, she looked at Yuxi, and finally swallowed back the words that came to her lips. Talking too much will only make Yu Xi more sad.
In fact, Yu Xi doesn't care much, there are too many people in this world who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and besides, she and Jiang Xin have never had a heart-to-heart relationship. It's normal for Jiang Xin to avoid her when she has something to do. Seeing Zhou Shiya's ugly face, Yuxi smiled and said: "I'm fine, don't think too much about it."
As soon as the two talked, they forgot the time. Zhou Shiya's mother-in-law walked in and said, "Girl, we should go back. If it's too late, we'll have to slander the house."
After seeing off Zhou Shiya, Yuxi also went back to the house, sat on the chair and thought for a while, and wrote a letter to Han Jianming. Zhou Shiya said that Mrs. Zhou was in a good mood and asked her to come here, but Yuxi didn't believe it. Mrs. Zhou is so straightforward, it must have something to do with her. As for what was going on, Yuxi couldn't guess without any clues. (to be continued)
