Chapter 48
"awesome!"

Zhong Xixi put the noodle bowl on the table, leaned over to look at the quilt, and immediately frowned.

The stitches are neat, and there is no extra thread. After the cotton is beaten, it is soft and warm.

If future generations want to buy such a handmade quilt, the price is not cheap.

Zhong Xixi felt that he had made money, and his smile became happier, his eyes were like crescent moons, and the dimples at the corners of his mouth were a little deeper.

He Quhao was taken aback for a moment, and desperately wanted to reach out and poke him.

"Help me thank you grandma.

Zhong Xixi stretched out his arms to hug the quilt, and walked into the room. When he came out, he inadvertently saw He Quhao staring at the bowl of noodles on the table for a few seconds, and then looked away after seeing her come out. .

Zhong Xixi didn't know if she had read it wrong, anyway, she saw He Quhao's Adam's apple sliding up and down.

Here it is, are you hungry?
Zhong Xixi stood at the door with her head tilted, and said with a smile, "Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, let's have some together. It just so happens that there is still a lot in the pot. I'll pack it for you."

"Grandma ate first, and didn't cook my meal, so I haven't eaten yet. I'm not very hungry, so I can just take a few bites when I go back."

He Quhao raised his head, his face had returned to normal, he just said to go, his foot didn't move at all.

"People are iron, and food is steel. You do a lot of work all day long. Our family has ready-made."

"OK then!"

He Quhao thought carefully for three seconds, and finally sat down.

The first time he was born and the second time he cooked, unconsciously, his skin has thickened.

"Then you eat the bowl on the table first, and I'll make the rest right away."

Zhong Xixi turned around and went to the kitchen again. Today's noodles were hand-rolled, and I made some more at one time for breakfast tomorrow. There are also plenty of stewed noodles, so it's not too troublesome to make another bowl of noodles.

Outside, He Quhao and Zhong Mumu stared wide-eyed.

The aroma of noodles drilled into his nose uncontrollably.

Zhong Mumu frowned, blinked, and looked at He Quhao earnestly and said something.

"Brother He, my sister cooks delicious food."

So I can understand that you come to rub a meal or something.

He Quhao, "..."

The blush of being punctured flashed past.

After a while, Zhong Xixi came out with two large bowls of noodles, and pushed a bowl in front of He Quhao.

"Eat more."

After eating and drinking enough, He Quhao offered to wash the dishes.

He can't do this by eating without working.

While washing the dishes, He Quhao quietly looked around the residence of the siblings. There was really nothing there, and many daily necessities were not complete.

The tables and chairs are not complete, and many of them are still tattered.

"The house is too spacious, not like a home. Tell me what's missing, and I'll find a way to get it for you. Don't think about it alone. There are more people and more power."

Anyway, grandma told him to help more, and he will come to work after work, just in time for dinner.

"no need."

Zhong Xixi said with a smile.

He Quhao heard the words, but his heart tightened, an unspeakable emotion welled up in his heart, did she reject him? ?

But in the next second, Zhong Xixi continued to speak.

"I'm already preparing to build a house. The captain has approved the homestead. It's next to your house. I'll have to ask you to help me when the time comes."

Building a house is not something that both she and Zhong Mumu can do, and He Quhao can help at that time.

He Quhao's eyes lit up suddenly, and he was a little scary.

She said, the homestead is next to their house?
Wouldn't it be possible to see her...cooking meals every day?

"Okay, then you can talk about something."

"By the way, let me go there with you to thank grandma. She has worked hard to make us quilts. I went to the black market to exchange some canned food and let her eat some canned food."

Zhong Xixi took two bottles of canned food, held them in his hands, and walked behind He Quhao in a bumpy manner.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw that the dining table was still covered with rice, and Grandma He was sitting by the side looking around the door, as if she was waiting for someone.

Seeing He Quhao's tall figure from a distance, he started to mutter.

"Why did it take me so long to come back, the food was cold."

After Grandma He finished speaking, she saw that Zhong Xixi was following behind her, she was slightly taken aback, and then said enthusiastically.

"Miss Zhong, here we come. Have you eaten yet, come and eat?"

"I've eaten, grandma, He Quhao has also eaten at my house, just now!"

Zhong Xixi glanced back at He Quhao, who was following him, and instantly understood, puffed up her cheeks, and turned her head to look at He Quhao.

This guy, dare to come to her house for dinner.

"grandmother."

He Quhao blushed slightly and looked up at the sky.

This was an unprecedented lie, and it was exposed face to face.

"Oh, I forgot. That brat told me earlier that I was going to your house for dinner. I am old and my memory is failing, so I forgot about it when I turned around. No, I even cooked his meal ,wasted."

Grandma He was enlightened, and quickly helped He Quhao cover up.

No wonder this kid just said excitedly that he wanted to go there now, because he just wanted to have a meal!
Then don't tell her.

After He Quhao finished listening, his face became even redder, reaching the base of his ears.

This explanation is better than not explaining, people are hard to tear down, but grandma has done it more thoroughly.

"Grandma, don't waste it, he eats a lot, eat it later when he's hungry!"

Zhong Xixi didn't want to expose the mutual concealment between the grandparents and grandson, as long as everyone knew it in their hearts, it was not a big deal.

Cengfan just shows that she is good at cooking!

"Miss Zhong came just in time, come here, I'll measure your body, there's still plenty of cloth left over, just enough to make two new clothes for you and Mu Mu. Brat, go and call Mu Mu over. "

Grandma He felt that if she didn't speak again, her grandson might be like that mouse, dig a hole in place and find a reason to dismiss him.

"Grandma, why don't you do it after two days of rest. It's not Chinese New Year yet, so you can get new clothes after a while."

Looking down and seeing Grandma He's gray hair and the dimples on her face, Zhong Xixi felt a little distressed.

It's not easy for the elderly either.

"It's okay. If you don't find me some work, I'll still be depressed. I've worked all my life, and I won't be able to stay idle when I'm old!"

Grandma He moved in an orderly manner. After measuring, she drew a line with a white stone on the cloth, neatly.

"You don't know, when I was young, my female workers were very good, and many girls of the same age loved to ask me for advice..."

After measuring the clothes, Zhong Xixi pointed to the cans on the table and said.

"Come on, grandma, the canned food I brought you, eating more is good for your health, as the doctors in the town said. I'll give you something else to replenish your health next time."

"Canned food is enough, don't send me anything, it's a waste of money, it's not easy for young people."

"Grandma, if it's okay, I'll go to work first, and I have to deal with the herbal medicine. I promised to give a batch of plasters to others in two days."

After bidding farewell to Grandma He, Zhong Xixi took Guy Shi up the mountain.

The mountains in this era are good, undeveloped, herbs can be seen everywhere, and of course, there are many poisonous snakes.

To be on the safe side, she still brought a bag of sulfur powder on her body, and sprinkled some on the edge of her shoes, so as not to be bitten by a snake unexpectedly.

"Earthworm!"

"Solanum nigrum!"

In addition to herbs for plasters, Zhong Xixi picked some other herbs and dried them to make soup, clear away heat and relieve summer heat, and relieve fire.

Before you know it, the sun is about to set.

Zhong Xixi packed up her things and walked down the path.

Now that the problem of herbs is solved, only the pot is left. This is a difficult problem...
