Chapter 138 It's Hard to Keep a Secret (2)

When Su Xiaoye got up the next morning, the first thing he did was look at the yard.

The firewood was well tended and burned brightly.One side of the courtyard wall has been blackened, and the billowing white smoke mixed with the smell of burning wood adds a smoky smell to the humid morning air.

My mother-in-law cooked a large pot of fragrant white porridge, fried pickled cucumbers, shredded pork and dried beans, and added a plate of rapeseed.Five people gathered around the kitchen to have breakfast.

Tan Cifu had two dark circles under his eyes. After all, he was still young and in good spirits.

Su Xiaoye said: "How long will it take to cook like this?"

My mother-in-law said, "It will be almost done by noon."

"I have other colleagues coming at noon." Yue Zhilan said, "When the time comes, each of you can take two back."

Su Xiaoye rolled her eyes: "Okay."

Tan Cifu concentrated on eating breakfast and seemed not to notice.He is not gossipy, meddlesome, and tight-lipped. Su Xiaoye admires this character very much.

After dinner, Tan Cifu went back to sleep, and Su Xiaoye said, "I'll give it to you."

"You're welcome." Tan Cifu declined, but couldn't help but yawned.

Su Xiaoye pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm so sleepy that I can't even open my eyes. It would be troublesome if I fell asleep on the roadside."

Everyone laughed, and Tan Cifu also laughed. He did not refuse Xiaoye's kindness anymore.

He didn't drive the Wuyang Honda over. The two of them strolled along the village road.Dagen Village is located along the mountainside.They climbed up the stairs and arrived at a three-story house halfway up the mountain.

Tan Cifu is an orphan...heh, maybe he is also a low-income household in the village.

What would his place of residence be like?Would it be like the poor families she had seen before, living in unpainted shabby houses with red bricks exposed and protruding, where the north wind blew and thousands of arrows pierced the bones?

A courtyard appeared in front of me, surrounded by green and gray brick walls. The two floors inside covered an area of ​​more than 200 square meters. The building was pink and white, with a black horse head wall.

Until Tan Cifu stretched out his thumb to open the fingerprint lock, there was a beep sound, and the iron door automatically slid open to the side.Su Xiaoye's eyes were still fixed on the house: "..."

Tan Cifu said: "The only thing my parents left me was some money. After I graduated from high school, I had nothing to do and redesigned and renovated the house."

Well, the stereotype is really unnecessary.

It turns out that Tan Cifu is an orphan whose family owns a mine.

Tan Cifu had no intention of inviting Su Xiaoye to visit inside. Su Xiaoye waved goodbye to him: "Goodbye, have a good rest."

"okay, thank you."

After walking along the mountain road, the breakfast she ate was quickly digested. Su Xiaoye was fully looking forward to eating something delicious at noon.Who knew that when they arrived at the door of Yue Zhilan's house, Lu Zheng and his troops had already arrived.

She was wearing baggy wide-leg pants, equally baggy snow boots, and a stain-resistant pure black down jacket. Her hair was messy and tied back, and she was indescribably slovenly.All the boys said in unison: "Oh——"

Tang Zeshen poked his head out of the yard and was shocked: "Xiaoye, how come you have become a village girl!"

"It's comfortable." Xiaoye led the way without caring, "Come, let me show you around."

Yue Zhilan's parents had never received so many colleagues from their daughter, so they rubbed their hands and felt uneasy.Su Xiaoye was more and more tired and took them around the house twice. A group of people looked like Japanese invaders entering the village. They clamored for fresh mountain water to raise grass carp. They surrounded Yue Zhilan and headed for the fish pond.

Tang Zeshen assumed the commander-in-chief posture and gestured: "Qingquan and Xiaolan are going to catch fish. Azheng, cut green vegetables and pull radishes. And you, Xiaoye, the chickens over there are pretty good, hurry up and buy one!"

After a while, he called again: "No, are there any gimai shrimp?"

The young man packed up his things, and Tang Zeshen stood by the stove and rolled up his sleeves: "Let me show off my skills today and let you taste what it means to have a pot of delicious food in the sea and the sky!"

A whole chicken was lightly marinated with salt, soy sauce, sugar and starch. A large amount of chili, green onion and garlic were fried in a pan until fragrant. Karasawa rounded his arms and vigorously stir-fried the chicken. After it changed color, he quickly poured a glass of strong wine into it.

With a bit of coaxing, flames rose into the sky.Karasawa quickly put in the fish pieces, covered the pot, and stewed it with the chicken.

After 20 minutes, the aroma of meat and fish came out of the pot.

"Boss is good at craftsmanship!"

"It's hidden!"

Karasawa put the pot on the table and opened the lid, only to see a pot of rich red sauce still bubbling.

Wu Qingquan cheered: "The God of Cookery has arrived!"

Just as he was about to fork his chopsticks down, Tang Zeshen knocked him away: "Wait, there are still guests who haven't arrived yet!"

"Who?"

"It should be coming soon." Tang Zeshen looked at the Tissot watch on his wrist, "He said he had something else to do, so he came later."

"Who the hell is it! I'm really impatient!" Wu Qingquan stomped his proud face.

Su Xiaoye's ears suddenly stood up. This action was a natural reaction and went against reason. She pulled her ears with her backhand, but the tips of the ears were still facing the outer wall.There is the sound of a car approaching...

She raised her head and saw a big hand pushing open the door. It was very white and had thick knuckles.

She knows who it is.

Tang Diwei pushed the door open and asked politely: "Is this Yue Zhilan's home?"

He and Su Xiaoye looked at each other, his Adam's apple slid, and his lips tightened.

Su Xiaoye turned to look at her face.

Yue Zhilan said loudly: "Here we come! We are waiting for you to come and serve dinner here!"

Lu Zheng and Wu Qingquan said: "It turns out we have to wait for Brother Tang! It should be right!"

I don’t know why wherever Tang Diwei goes, he always looks like a big brother and naturally becomes the center of attention.Tang Diwei walked in and said, "Why are you alone? Where are your parents?"

"They went to my uncle's house to eat. They can't bear your noise!" Yue Zhilan put out the bowls and chopsticks, "Come on, let's eat. Everyone is hungry."

Everyone exchanged glasses and drank in a lively manner.

Su Xiaoye drank a lot, one cup after another, very generously.

"Xiaoye, don't drink so much. You have to drive two hours back to Ning County later." Tang Zeshen handed over her wine glass.

Yue Zhilan was very persuasive: "If you drink too much, we will stay here for one night. I will take everyone to fish in the reservoir tomorrow morning."

"also."

There was another knock on the door. Yue Zhilan went to open the door, and it was Yue Yue who came in.She was holding a red plastic bag: "Is sister Su Xiaoye here?"

Su Xiaoye's face turned red and she couldn't speak.Yue Yue put down the thing, "I'm leaving first."

The second monk Zhang couldn't figure it out. Su Changhui opened the bag and brought out a stewed goose that was hot and hot to the touch. He weighed it and said, "It's so heavy, I'm afraid it weighs more than five catties!"

"What a good goose!" Tang Zeshen (﹃) made his own decision, "Hui Zai, go and cut it into pieces, cut half of it to drink!"

Tang Diwei asked: "Why does someone give a goose to Xiaoye?"

Yue Zhilan seemed to have thought of something and glanced at Su Xiaoye.

Xiaoye was lying on the sofa, breathing evenly as he slept.
