The old woman seemed to be touched by this sentence and angrily scolded: "I suffered because I didn't read. I sniped three enemy teams in the jungle alone. As a result, because I couldn't read, the commander couldn't promote me. You kids have the environment but don't read to do these things. In the past, I would have beaten you with a stick."
Lin Qingyu looked at Xie Qingliu awkwardly. Her grandmother had always believed that education was the only way to success, and now she was teaching him a lesson rudely. She was really worried that Xie Qingliu would be angry.
Mei Mei also kept silent. She had no experience in dealing with old people, and the old man was right, reading was indeed a good thing.
"Grandma is right." Xie Qingliu raised his thumb and said, "One person sniped three squads. Grandma, have you ever been a soldier?"
"Nonsense, I was a soldier king in the army." The old lady said with a look of contempt: "If I hadn't been accidentally hit by a cannon and injured my heart and lungs, I might have been able to stand on that city wall."
"So amazing." Xie Qingliu said with an admiring expression: "The one I admire most is the soldier sister. Grandma, what battles have you fought in? Can you tell me about it?"
"What's the point of admiring a soldier, little guy? Haven't you heard that a good woman doesn't become a soldier and good iron doesn't become a nail?" The old man said this, but his expression became softer.
"Grandma, what you said is biased." Xie Qingliu said with a look of disapproval: "Without you grandma defending our country, we wouldn't have the life we have now. I'm not very old, but I also know that if it weren't for grandma and the other soldiers, I would still be being bullied by those foreign bastards."
"Hahaha, the little guy is right." The old man was very amused.
Mei Mei stared at Xie Qingliu in amazement. Was this still the childhood sweetheart she knew? Lin Qingyu was also stunned. Her grandmother had a strange temper, and Xie Qingliu had an even stranger personality. But they could actually live in harmony? It was really...something that made people wonder how to describe it.
pS: I spent a whole day digging PJJC, it was really hard.
Chapter 14: Rural Life (Part 2)
Night fell completely, the incandescent lights in the house were surrounded by mosquitoes, and a faint smell of fireworks filled the air.
Mei Mei and Lin Qingyu sat quietly on the side, watching Xie Qingliu chatting animatedly with the old man. One was willing to listen, and the other was willing to tell. Lin Qingyu had heard some of the stories more than ten times and could even imitate the tone. But for Mei Mei, the war was too far away, and the old man's stories were a bit exaggerated.
He was hiding in the bushes, and when he saw three people passing by, he killed them with just a dagger.
There are even more outrageous things like going around the back, which are totally against common sense, or even more exaggerated than in the movies. Mei Mei can understand that the old man is bragging, but she can't cooperate with him and even give him a thumbs up.
However, Xie Qingliu was able to listen with great interest. His expression did not seem to be acting at all. Instead, it seemed that he really enjoyed listening to this kind of story, which really made the two girls a little confused.
Just as the old man was talking excitedly, a "gulp" sound echoed in the living room. Xie Qingliu blinked and rubbed his stomach awkwardly.
"Look at me, an old man. I even forgot to ask you if you guys have eaten." Seeing this, the old man smiled and said, "Little guy, I'll make you whatever you like."
"That... is not necessary. Let Qingyu or Meimei do it." Xie Qingliu laughed dryly and said, "Just keep telling me stories. I like listening to stories like this the most. I wish I could participate in them myself."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are a boy, do you really want to go to war?" The old man stood up and said with a joking voice: "Gou Wa, take good care of your friends. I will go to cook for you."
"Mother-in-law, let me do it." Lin Qingyu said quickly.
"I said I'll do it, you take good care of Qingliu. Look at his arms, they're all bitten by mosquitoes. He's a delicate person, he didn't come here to suffer, go and clean him up, don't let him get hurt." The old man said with a stern face, "You have no manners at all."
After saying that, he slapped Lin Qingyu, and it seemed that the force was not light, because it was the first time that Xie Qingliu saw this girl grimacing and looking like she was in great pain.
"Rare." Xie Qingliu clapped his hands. He was bitten quite badly by the mosquito. He didn't know if it was because of his blood type or something else. Mei Mei and Lin Qingyu had never been taken care of like this.
The old man walked steadily to the back, and only three people were left in the living room, staring at each other.
"Qingliu, I'll go get some mosquito repellent grass." Lin Qingyu said embarrassedly, "Grandma doesn't use mosquito coils. She says they smell bad."
"Go ahead, go ahead. I'll take a break." Xie Qingliu rubbed his legs and said, "Your five kilometers are really not five kilometers."
Lin Qingyu's face trembled slightly, but she didn't refute and went out silently.
Mei Mei watched Lin Qingyu leave before she hurriedly rubbed her legs and arms. She was not the kind of person who didn't exercise on weekdays, but compared to Lin Qingyu, she was really a little behind. After walking such a long distance, she only felt sore all over, and she was just holding on.
"Are you tired?" Xie Qingliu asked with a grin, "Do you want me to give you a massage?"
"Cough cough."
Mei Mei blushed and said, "Qingliu, you have changed a lot."
"What's the big method?" Xie Qingliu moved the stool, leaned against the earth wall and asked leisurely.
"Before, your first reaction when you saw a bug was to scream and throw it away, but today... today you actually dared to catch it with your hands, and..." Mei Mei stared at Xie Qingliu and said, "You never said that you like soldiers."
"People always change." Xie Qingliu raised his head, squinted his eyes and took a deep breath. The air with a bit of earthy smell made him feel particularly friendly: "Just like you have changed, haven't you? You wouldn't drive out with me before."
"That's all because of you." Mei Mei felt resentful when she thought of this. There was a 99% chance that she would be scolded when she got home.
"Hehe, I see you look quite happy too." Xie Qingliu glanced at the girl and complained.
Mei Mei was speechless. How could she act happy? However, she did not refute Xie Qingliu.
"Have you got any ideas?"
Seeing Mei Mei remained silent, Xie Qingliu changed the subject and asked.
"What idea?" Mei Mei asked blankly.
"You are such a person." Xie Qingliu sat up straight and said helplessly: "What is the purpose of our coming here? To shoot a food video. This countryside scenery is very common to many people. We have to find a way to shoot something that others have never seen. Use your brain! Miss Mei Mei."
"This..." Mei Mei's eyes wandered around, and she said awkwardly with a face full of charm: "I think they are all very fresh."
Blinking, Xie Qingliu rubbed his face. He forgot that this girl was also a city girl, and her impression of the countryside was probably only through movies and TV dramas.
"Let's go out for a walk tomorrow and prepare the preliminary plan, using this mud house as the core." Xie Qingliu thought for a while and said, "Renovate this place and transplant some fruit trees. Our goal is to shoot the pastoral life that people yearn for. Try to imagine the pastoral life you yearn for."
"Hmm..." Mei Mei nodded, thinking that Xie Qingliu was really professional and she had become a burden.
Lin Qingyu was holding a handful of grass sparkling with sparks in her hand, standing at the door and listening to the conversation inside. The girl glanced at Mei Mei silently. She didn't understand what they were talking about at all. Perhaps this was the world where Xie Qingliu really lived?
"Rural life..." A flash of sadness flashed across Lin Qingyu's eyes.
An hour later, a bowl of tomato and egg soup, hot and sour cabbage and a chicken stewed with potatoes appeared on the square table in the living room.
The tomato and egg were red in color, the egg flowers floated on the soup, and chopped green onions were added to decorate it. Xie Qingliu almost drooled when he saw it. Compared with the chicken! The tomato flavor was too authentic, reminding him of the one his grandmother made when he was a child.
"You must be hungry, little guy. Eat quickly." The old man brought a bowl of rice and said with a smile.
"Thank you, sorry for bothering you." Xie Qingliu quickly stood up to take it, sat down without any hesitation, and started eating.
Lin Qingyu held the meal and stared blankly at Xie Qingliu, who had no image at all. The other party had always left a perfect impression on her. Although he had a somewhat eccentric personality, he was good-looking. She didn't expect that he had such a down-to-earth side.
"Qingliu, image." Mei Mei reminded in a low voice.
"What's the matter with the image?" Xie Qingliu swallowed the rice and said with a relieved expression: "Grandma's cooking skills are amazing. This is so delicious."
"You are such a lovely kid." The old man laughed happily, "They are just some small dishes, as long as you like them."
"This is not a side dish." Xie Qingliu retorted: "Grandma, you may not know that the vegetables in the city are all covered with pesticides. The tomatoes have no sour taste, the chives have no onion taste, and even the eggs have no egg taste. And this chicken! It must be raised by grandma herself. It's a real free-range chicken. It's delicious."
Mei Mei and Lin Qingyu were dumbfounded again. Why did Xie Qingliu know so much strange knowledge and it just happened to hit the spot of the old man's preferences? It was outrageous.
pS: Yeah~!
Chapter 15: Be a Male God
The next morning, Xie Qingliu woke up from his hard bed and looked at the old beams. A fresh smell of earth filled his nose, along with the scent of fireworks and the crackling sound of burning wood.
He sat up and rubbed his arms. She didn't know how she fell asleep last night. She was really not used to the country environment.
But... he was still lucky. The bed he slept on seemed to be the one the old man left for Lin Qingyu. Not only was there a mosquito net, but it also had a faint smell of sunlight, which was the so-called smell of dead mites.
And what about Lin Qingyu and Mei Mei!
Xie Qingliu looked at the floor of the room. Two girls were sleeping on the floor. Lin Qingyu was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, her small body lying straight. It seemed that... she had woken up, her eyelids were trembling violently, and no one knew why she was pretending to be asleep.
As for Mei Mei, she was sleeping soundly, but there were a few red spots on her face and the bed sheets were messy, it seemed that she was tortured by mosquitoes last night. It was really difficult for this girl.
"What a refreshing day." Xie Qingliu opened the emblem and sighed in his heart as he looked at the dim sky outside.
His gaze turned to Lin Qingyu. The girl was still pretending to be asleep, and seemed a little nervous, with her face flushed.
"What a joke." Xie Qingliu muttered, then grinned wickedly. He crawled over to the other person, squatted down, and poked the girl's face with his finger.
then……
"Qingliu, you're awake."
Lin Qingyu opened her eyes as if she had been electrocuted. After a perfunctory greeting, she got up and ran away.
Everything happened in an instant, and before Xie Qingliu could react, the other person disappeared.
"There's a commotion?" Xie Qingliu curled his lips, not knowing what was going on.
He stood up and stretched, then looked down at himself and suddenly realized something.
He used to like sleeping naked, and he had this habit at home, but he didn't have the conditions here. He didn't wear any underwear last night, so...
"No way?" Xie Qingliu thought of an outrageous fact. His little brother was printed out, which stimulated Lin Qingyu?
……
Half an hour later, Xie Qingliu, who had finished washing up, stood in the courtyard, looking at the sun rising slowly in the distance. The earthen house was located on a very high ground. It should have been a settlement in the past, but because of development everyone moved away. Some broken walls of the earthen house could still be seen around.
Looking from here, there are really thousands of acres of fertile fields as far as the eye can see. The golden ears of wheat exude a sense of vitality and joy under the morning sun. The most important thing is that this place seems to be not far from Bailu Lake. The reed marsh in the distance is the edge of Bailu Lake.
This made Xie Qingliu more confident in his plan. As long as he edited these records and pretended to make a delicious dish, and added his handsome appearance, no matter what kind of world it was, youth would be the primary productive force.
"hey-hey!"
Xie Qingliu rubbed his chin. The reward for completing the first task was called Male God Temperament. He didn't know how effective it was.
The hero in the game relies on this thing to gain the heroine's trust in a short period of time and then conquer her. Although he doesn't have any thoughts about those heroines, he is not opposed to being a male god.
"Qiyuru-san, it's time for breakfast."
Lin Qingyu walked up to Xie Qingliu with a flushed face and shouted.
"Hmm... why is your face so red? What did you do?" Xie Qingliu asked puzzledly.
"hot!"
Lin Qingyu dodged her gaze and subconsciously looked at Xie Qingliu's lower body, then quickly moved away, the scene of the early morning still in her mind.
She woke up earlier than Xie Qingliu expected, because she had to make medicine for her father at home and do odd jobs from time to time, so she had to get up almost at four in the morning. As a result, today was a day off, and after getting up, she stood up and saw a scene that she shouldn't have seen in the dim light.
Xie Qingliu couldn't stand the restraint of his clothes, so he pulled his shirt up almost above his chest and took off almost half of his shorts. Lin Qingyu saw everything she should have seen, and also saw some of what she shouldn't have seen.
For the girl who had never had much contact with computers since childhood, this was like a bolt from the blue, and she almost couldn't help but make a mistake.
"You are really a bit angry." Xie Qingliu patted the girl's arm and teased: "Do you want grandma to make you a portion of preserved egg and tofu?"
Lin Qingyu's body trembled, and she lowered her head and said, "Eat, eat."
Xie Qingliu was speechless as he watched the girl running away like a rabbit! He was still a little confused. He didn't do anything, so why was she so scared of him? Shouldn't he be the one to be scared of? He really didn't understand.
"Xiao Qingliu, look what I have done for you."
When Xie Qingliu came into the house, the old man pointed at the dishes on the table and said as if he was presenting a treasure.
Xie Qingliu looked at the rooster porcelain bowl. Sliced white fish fillets were floating in the sticky soup, dotted with red peppers, which made people's appetites grow. The green chives gave off a mouth-watering aroma.
He swallowed his saliva. Although it looked a bit rough, this was authentic Bailu Lake boiled fish fillet. With the spices, it must be something the old man made himself.
"Grandma, can you cook this?" Xie Qingliu originally planned to find a local chef to learn how to cook, but he didn't expect the old lady to be able to do it.
"Nonsense, this is our Bailu Lake's specialty." The old woman said proudly, "Didn't you say you wanted to make this yesterday? Let me teach you."
"This...haha, I'm just imitating it, grandma, don't take it too seriously." Upon hearing this, Xie Qingliu was a little panicked.
He was chatting with the old man yesterday and he really admired him. He admires soldiers very much. Even in the world of feminism, he still thinks soldiers are the best.
But from chatting with the old man, he also understood one thing, that is, the other party was very serious.
"Pretend?" The old man's face turned serious when he heard it: "Xiao Qingliu, you should be down-to-earth in dealing with people. Gou Wa's mother ended up like that because she took shortcuts. You are a good kid by nature, how could you think of doing things like this?"
"Ah, this..." Xie Qingliu said with a wry smile: "I... I am an actor, grandma! Actors understand, right? They don't need..."
"Bullshit, kid, you better study hard. If you want to just do it perfunctorily, don't come here." The old woman roared angrily.
Speechless. Xie Qingliu didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot. It was outrageous that he was a clumsy person and there was no way he could learn how to cook.
"Qingliu, if this doesn't work..." Mei Mei whispered, "Shall we change places?"
"Change the hammer." Xie Qingliu clenched his fist and said, "The terrain here is good, and there are not many people. We can use it as a filming base in the future. It's just learning how to cook. I'll learn it."
Mei Mei opened her mouth and then sighed, thinking that Xie Qingliu had really changed. He was much better than before, and she even hardly recognized him.
But... this kind of Xie Qingliu made her want to get closer to him even more.
pS: Oh wow!!
