The middle-aged beautiful woman looked Jiang Li up and down. Apparently, the gradually darkening sky could not affect her inspection of Jiang Li. After looking for a while, a smile gradually appeared on her face, and then she opened the courtyard door and walked out.
He came out, lifted up the floral blue apron tied around his waist with both hands, wiped his hands, and then smiled at Jiang Li: "Well, he's a nice young man. Come on, come on, come in, I'll drink some water."
The cooking is done, and I'm just waiting for you to come back and make tea, but the rice is not that fast. Today, the old man has to do it by himself. After all, they are all members of the family, so there is nothing to be polite about. Are you tired from the road? Are you hungry? If you are, just
Eat two small snacks first, and then go take a shower. Feel refreshed and wait until you eat. I've also tidied up the room for you. You can go and see if there's anything else you need to add later, and I'll help you.
Make it up."
As soon as we met, we talked a lot, and he was a lonely person.
"Hello, sister." Jiang Li stood still and bent slightly. It's true that the middle-aged beautiful woman belongs to Old Man Wei, but which woman in the world doesn't like to be young, and on the surface, she is very similar to Old Man Wei.
The age gap was too big, so Jiang Li changed the name he originally wanted to call aunt to sister. The middle-aged beautiful woman is definitely older than she looks.
Much more, but what’s so strange about that? There are examples of old ladies in their sixties who look like they’re in their thirties on Earth. How could the technologically advanced Roma people lag behind in this regard? Besides, Loma people
The lifespan of the Ma people is much longer than that of the people on Earth. Jiang Li, who is more than 20 years old, is really a child in the eyes of the Luoma people.
"Damn old lady, you don't usually talk so much. Why are you talking so much today? No one has entered the house, so we just talk about tea and snacks. Have you bought the vegetables? Are you ready?" Old Man Wei was standing aside.
He shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Tch, you're still talking about me! Isn't it the same for you? Look at you, find a mirror and look at your face. Your eyes are narrowed to a slit. Why don't you come here with a cold face? Are you okay too?
Wherever you go, you will laugh at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps, hum." The beautiful middle-aged woman was so happy when Jiang Li called her sister, she stretched out a hand to hold Jiang Li away. When she heard Old Man Wei's words, she
Not happy anymore, he turned around and stared at Old Man Wei fiercely.[
Old Man Wei shrank his neck and quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, okay, just calm down, that's it, I won't argue with you." After that, he whispered softly, "You are the boss at home, and I am the handyman.
It’s finally done.”
"Ignore him, let's go into the house." The beautiful middle-aged woman took Jiang Li's arm affectionately, as if she was holding her own children, and entered the courtyard door in front of Old Wei, and then said to Old Wei
: "The vegetables are all cut. Go and do it yourself. My mission is completed."
Jiang Li's face was red. How had he ever experienced such a battle? A beautiful woman who looked not much older than him was holding his arm so intimately. If Jiang Li hadn't known her true age, she would have been at least six or seven.
At ten years old, I'm afraid I want to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Even Feng Ling has never been so close to him before.
"Oh, you can't tell yet, she's a young girl? Haha, you've never touched a woman, right? Don't worry, your sister is over a hundred years old. At your age, she's almost like being my great-grandson, but my sister is not as old as me.
The habit of eating young grass, haha, interesting, interesting, hey, old man, do you remember when was your first time?" Seeing Jiang Li's embarrassed look, the beautiful middle-aged woman leaned forward with a smile.
Leaning back, overwhelmed with joy.
It's okay that she didn't laugh. She was smiling so happily that her hand holding Jiang Li's arm would tighten and loosen at times. What was terrible was that her chest would rub against Jiang Li's arm from time to time, and the soft feeling from his arm would
The feeling made Jiang Li unable to walk, stop, pull out his hand, or not pull out his hand. His face turned red from holding back his hand.
"Damn old woman, please stop teasing him. He finally got a good idea. You have left a bad impression on him. He really thinks that we are all casual people. If he feels disgusted
Yes, I won’t come here again. Let me see who you talk to! Then don’t pester me all day about how lonely you are.
Ah, you are lonely, there is no one to chat with you, you want my old man to accompany you to take a look at those old guys, let me tell you, it is not that easy." Old Man Wei did not answer the middle-aged beautiful woman's question.
question, instead he dropped the question tepidly and walked to a small room on the left.
"Oh, it's true, sister won't joke with you anymore. If you really don't come, sister will have no one to talk to." Old Man Wei's words were very effective. As soon as he heard this, the middle-aged beautiful woman quickly ran away.
Jiang Li's arm seemed to be a different person in an instant, returning to the moment when the courtyard door was first opened. Jiang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"But, to be honest, brother, sister, you really should go and see us when you have time. Although we all have the same ancestor, we have developed over the years, the environment is different, and many social atmospheres are also different.
Guaranteed to surprise you, while other planets may scare you. Loma
There are relatively many similarities with the Earth, but the gap between other planets and the Earth is huge. Well, I won’t tell you too much, so as not to affect you, but you still have to do many things yourself.
Let's slowly explore and adapt." The beautiful middle-aged woman extended her hand to Jiangli generously.
Jiang Li also stretched out her hand and shook it. Her hand was soft and slippery, and Jiang Li's heart twitched again.
"My surname is Tian. You can call me Sister Tian from now on. I tell you, since you have called me sister, you are not allowed to go back on your words. You will call me sister from now on." The middle-aged beautiful woman winked at Jiang Li and whispered: "Damn it.
The old man is actually jealous, hehe, he is actually jealous." There was dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"Hello, Sister Tian, um, did your names change after you came here, or was this your original name?" Limak did not tell Jiang Li anything about the background and environment of Star Loma. In Limak's words,
He was sent to Earth as soon as he left the factory, and his understanding of Planet Loma was not much better than Jiang Li's. In order not to leave a preconceived and wrong influence on Jiang Li, he didn't tell him anything, and let Jiang Li slowly visit and explore it in the future.
learn.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Li also took a look at the courtyard. It was not a small courtyard. If it were placed in a remote area, this courtyard would be too small, but so close to a metropolis, such a large courtyard would not be too small.
It is at least about forty or fifty square meters. The entire courtyard floor, except for the road from the courtyard gate to the main room and kitchen, which is simply indicated by a few small blue-gray stones to indicate that it is the road, the rest of the ground is
The ground is the original dirt ground, and the weeds on the ground are also
No one was hoeing, it just grew so casually, wantonly, and freely. The small house on the left should be the kitchen, and the sound of old man Wei playing with pots and pans could be heard from inside. On the right, it was the main house.
On the left is a grape
Winter is here and the grape leaves have all fallen, but looking at the trunk as thick as an arm, the grapes must be at least ten or twenty years old. The entire grape trellis covers half of the yard, and some grapevines are
He was led to the roof of the main house.
The main house is an old civil house with a bit of Anhui style built with square brick walls. The insulation effect of this kind of square brick wall is very obvious, which is definitely warm in winter and cool in summer, especially with a The effect is even more remarkable for houses with attics. The reason lies in the way the square bricks are stacked. The bottom layer is laid flat, and then the square bricks on the second layer are erected to separate small squares one by one. Set up a block on the diagonal of the grid for load-bearing, and then lay out one to two layers of square bricks. Repeat this process to cover the top, which is equivalent to dividing the wall into small square spaces. These small spaces have a thermal insulation effect, keeping the heat inside the house in winter and blocking the heat waves outside the house in summer.
Under the grape trellis, there is a long wooden chair with iron legs, placed so casually not far from the main trunk of the grape vine. The long wood of the chair is a little black and moldy in some places, but it is absolutely clean. Yes, a few clumps of lush green grass grow especially luxuriantly around the legs of the chair. In this winter, the ground should have been withered and yellow, but it is full of green. It is always a bit different from the scene outside the courtyard, especially the scene outside the village. It doesn’t match. In front of the long back chair is a small bluestone table, which is probably used to place refreshments and fruits when sitting in the shade on weekdays. This simple yard is not let down by the lack of people taking care of the weeds. People feel desolate and chaotic, but it seems more harmonious.
Seeing Jiang Li looking at the weed field that was still green in winter with a little surprise, Sister Tian smiled: "Don't think it's our fault again, we just found some cold-resistant weed seeds and spread them. That’s it. Let’s go in and have a cup of hot tea to warm up your body and moisten your intestines so that you can eat later.”
I followed Sister Tian into the house. The interior was decorated in a typical Jiangnan style, but the place that was supposed to be the front of the hall was changed into the living room. The simple pieces of solid wood furniture have been used for many years. The wood is patinated. It was already very obvious. Jiang Li's heart moved. He touched it with his hand. It felt delicate and smooth. He looked at it again and saw a grimace. He exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't it? Huanghuali? Is this how you use it?"
"Furniture is meant to be used, so what's the point of putting it on display?" Sister Tian didn't take it seriously, "If you like it, just come and move it another day."
"Me?" Jiang Li pointed to his nose in surprise. He couldn't believe his ears. This is a huanghuali. Judging from the style, it doesn't have to be two or three hundred years old. It must be at least a hundred years old, right? A huanghuali. The coffee table is of good quality and can easily cost millions. But in this hall, there is an Eight Immortals table, a small desk, and a complete set of armchairs, all of which are obviously huanghuali, among others. It's a little further away, so I'm not sure whether it is or not, but judging from the overall harmony in the entire hall, it's almost the same, which is tens of millions!
"You can't have it, you mustn't have it!" Jiang Li was about to agree that this set of expensive furniture would be his own. Suddenly Limak reminded Jiang Li in his ear. Although Jiang Li didn't know why Limak reminded him He couldn't ask for it, but he must have his own reason for saying so, so he waved his hand quickly: "Sister Tian, I definitely don't dare to ask for this. You are forcing a hard nut on me. I don't have my own right now." House, besides, if you look at my job, I will probably be away from home all year round. Don’t worry about putting such expensive furniture at home. I don’t worry about it. I really don’t dare to ask for it.”[
