As the sun sets, every household is lit up with smoke. After the Qilin was outside and Dahua playing wildly for an afternoon, he returned home contentedly from the square hole made for it under the wall.

There was no one in the kitchen, and they were still locked in the room and fighting.

I hurried to the food bowl to see, it was actually empty? Forget fighting, not even cooking?

Qilin grieved and slumped back to his den.

At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open, Qi Zhou walked in with the corner of his robe, and hesitatingly asked: "Is anyone there? Is the meal served?"

After a while, the door of the house opened, and Gu Wen walked out one by one, uncomfortably tidying up his clothes as he walked.

As soon as Qi Zhou saw Gu Wenzhu, he felt a little fear in his heart and couldn't help but whispered: "I will bring the food back to eat, so as not to disturb you."

"I'll cook now. But in the next few days I have to serve Xiao Yi, so you have to cook it yourself. I'll serve you some rice noodles and meat dishes later, and I will cook them directly in the old house when I bring them back. Yes." Gu Wen rolled his sleeves and walked toward the kitchen.

"I don't know how to cook!" Qi Zhou yelled in horror when he heard this.

"That's it..." Gu Wen pondered one by one, "You can take the unicorn and let the unicorn teach you to cook. By the way, I have fed it together these few days."

"This...this..." Qi Zhou was shocked by Gu Wenzhu's operation and couldn't say a word.

Qilin looked at him and flicked his tail innocently.

Gu Wen threw down a large pot of chicken noodle soup, and when it was cooked, he filled two bowls and walked into the room, leaving most of the pot for one person and one dog.

As soon as Qi Zhou wanted to look through the crack of the door curiously, the door closed with a snap.

————————————————

The gate of the Gu family’s courtyard had not been opened for several days, nor had seen Gu Wenzhu and Xia Yi, and no one answered the door.

The dogs are barely living like this after eating hundreds of meals in the whole village.

Did these two go to the county to buy wedding supplies?

Li Zhu and Er Niu stood in front of the courtyard, leaning on the crack of the door and looking in.

"What are you doing?" An unfamiliar voice sounded behind him, with a cold meaning.

"Let's just take a look. I haven't seen anyone for a few days, and I'm a little worried" Li Zhubian explained and turned his head.

Turning his head, the whole person was stupid, unable to say a word with his mouth open.

Looking at Li Zhu's appearance, Er Niu turned his head curiously, as if he was struck by lightning, and turned into a stone sculpture like Li Zhu.

Qi Zhou was returning from a walk outside the village, passing by the gate of Gu Wenzhu's courtyard. From a distance, saw two young people looking like villagers peeking from the courtyard gate, frowned and went to ask questions.

Unexpectedly, when these two people saw themselves, they showed a stupid form of thunder and thunder.

Answered that the villager's appearance is acceptable, fairly pretty. The man who turned back, his rough appearance and mud-stained shirt, looked really dull and stupid.

Li Zhu was fairly shrewd, and immediately turned his eyes away after reacting. However, Er Niu still stared at Qi Zhou, his eyes were not blinking, and his mouth was slightly open.

Seeing him looking at him unconcealedly, Qi Zhou couldn't help frowning in disgust.

This ignorant mountain villager really wanted to dig out his eyeballs.

"They're okay, don't think too much about it." Qi Zhou didn't want to explain more to these vulgar people, and left in a hurry after saying a few words.

"Er Niu, this brother is an immortal." Looking at Qi Zhou's back, for a long time, Li Zhu hit the Er Niu next to him with his arm.

Er Niu said nothing, still watching the direction Qi Zhou was leaving.

"Er Niu, don't look, everyone is gone." Li Zhu punched him hard.

Only then did Er Niu come back to his senses.

Next, Er Niu's whole person was in a trance, with a look of unaccompanied expression.

Just when Li Zhu had been talking for a long time, and when he was about to get angry, Er Niu suddenly stopped, blushing, and said, "I want to marry him."

"Who to marry?" Li Zhu didn't react yet.

"That brother just now, I saw him go to Wen Zhu's old house." Er Niu's eyes glowed, and the whole person was still in a dream. "Won't my mother keep urging me to get married? I have taken a look at him. Marry him to be my daughter-in-law."

"Er Niu, are you crazy? That brother is not an ordinary person at first glance. It must be some wealthy relative of Wen Zhu who came to live for a few days." Li Zhu really wanted to wake up his partner and stop dreaming.

Er Niu opened his mouth, and after a moment of daze, his eyes gradually firmed up, "I'm fond of him, but he doesn't marry him."

After finishing speaking, he said solemnly to Li Zhu: "Don't call me Erniu anymore, call me by my name, Gu Beicheng."

Gu Wen looked down at Xia Yi who was lying on his back, and saw his pink and white neck with a few strands of sweaty black hair on it.

He stretched out his hands and pressed those soft hairs to his ears, leaned over and said dumbly, "I'll make you some food, okay?"

Xia Yi didn't say anything, just hooked his fingers with infinite attachment, humming like a kitten in his throat, and his wet eyes were full of longing.

Gu Wen took a deep breath and forced himself to get up quickly and go to the kitchen to make a meal as quickly as possible.

Boiled a large pot of water, let Xia Yi soak in a comfortable bath.

Time flickered, and another two days passed.

In the early morning, the bedroom door was opened, and Gu Wen stepped out.

He has messy hair and sunken eye sockets, and he takes a greedily breath of fresh air. Let the refreshing fragrance of green grass whirl around in his lungs, and then exhale slowly.

"Xiao Yi, I'm going to make breakfast." He turned his head hastily and said to the room, and walked quickly to the kitchen as if he fled, as if he would be caught by someone taking a step slower.

The moon sets and the sun rises, and another day has passed.

The door slowly opened, and Gu Wen appeared at the door blankly.

I saw him fighting with his legs, his eyes turned black, and his shirt was not buttoned. Just like that, the footsteps were vain, and the floating corpses floated to the kitchen and started cooking.

He couldn't even turn the pot upside down, and the hand holding the spoon was shaking.

Finally, it was divided into two trips, and all the food was returned to the room, and then creaked and closed the door.

The sun rose slowly, and after the door was opened today, Xia Yi came out with a contented look.

He felt that he was full of energy that he had never seen before, and he was extremely comfortable both physically and mentally. Stretched a long way, walked briskly to the kitchen, caught the fish he was keeping from the water tank, cut the scales by laparotomy, and started to boil the fish soup.

After a while, he carried a bowl of fish soup into the bedroom.

When he entered the house, Gu Wenzhu was still asleep, Xia Yi put down the fish soup, secretly lifted the quilt, rushed up and took a bite on his face: "I got up to eat."

Gu Wen rubbed his face and slowly opened his eyes.

Gu Wen, who had just woke up, lost the steady and solemnity, a little dazed, and there was a shallow tooth mark on his face that had just been gnawed out.

Seeing Xia Yi's heart moved, he pushed him down again, and kissed him cruelly.

"How long have you been awake?" Gu Wen stood up firmly with his elbows, and sat up tremblingly. "Are you hungry? I'll cook for you."

He still remembers his responsibilities. In the past few days, in addition to satisfying his brother during the boom, he has to take care of his brother's diet and daily life.

Especially for the first-time craze brother, he must get the best care, so that he can bloom like the most perfect flower.

"I've done it, don't get up." Xia Yi looked at Gu Wen's arm that was supporting her barely sitting up and was trembling, feeling very sorry in her heart.

In the past few days, the brother Zhu who has dealt with the craze for the first time must receive the best care to be as healthy as the liveliest calf.

"Come and I feed you." Gu Wenzhu and Xia Yi said at the same time, and at the same time they reached for the spoon.

Gu Wen took it one step at a time, his wrist softened, and the spoon snapped back into the soup.

"I'll feed you." Xia Yi took the spoon and scooped up the white fish soup, blowing lightly in her mouth.

"I'll do it myself." Gu Wen walked through the body, trying to maintain the dignity of the man.

Xia Yi ignored him and fed fish soup into his mouth.

"One more bite of fish, okay? Baby open your mouth."

"Xiao Yi, I can't eat anymore..."

"Take another bite, where does the dragon and tiger spirit come from if you don't eat enough?"

In the middle of the night, the whole village fell asleep, except for a small courtyard somewhere in the middle of a conversation.

"Xiao Yi, I'll get you the shelter plants, or take a bite first..."

"Who wants some waterweed, throw it away. Come here for me!"

"I'll rest for a while, just for a while."

"You still have the spirit to hide everywhere, why do you take a break!"

The last wave of enthusiasm finally ended, and Gu Wen almost burst into tears.

He was like an ox that had ploughed the ground for several days. He was finally unloaded with a heavy plow, buried in a pillow, and fell asleep, feeling unconscious.

Xia Yijing quietly pressed to Gu Wen's back, closed her eyes and pursed her lips and laughed a few times, then kissed his earlobe, stretched out her arm to embrace the firm waist, and fell asleep.
