The round-faced elder sister’s brother-in-law contacted a group of people and helped turn over the tiles and paint the walls.
These days, when people paint walls, they use lime water, which is environmentally friendly, disinfecting and sterilizing.
The house that used to be dilapidated still looks new after being tidied up like this.
During the weekend, Xiaoling followed Xu Erlong to take a look at the house and was particularly satisfied.
"Second brother, I will live in this room from now on." Xiaoling took a fancy to the small room with a window: "When the time comes, I will install a writing desk, a desk lamp, and many, many more
book of."
Zhang Jinfang also laughed.
She took it for granted and classified the best room as Xu Erlong's room.
When the time comes, Xu Erlong will get married here, take a wife and have children, and she will help take care of the children.
Xu Erlong never expected that Zhang Jinfang was already thinking about raising children in the future.
What he is thinking about now is that Xiaoling will continue to study for a few more years. At least, it will be beneficial to Xiaoling to have a stable home environment in these few years.
As for the furniture at home, Xu Erlong plans to buy some old furniture.
Mainly these days, productivity is underdeveloped, and the craftsman profession is still in a relatively backward and primitive state.
When we make furniture, we still use wood. The carpenter takes a saw and cuts the wood one by one.
Change each piece of rounded wood into a thick board, and then change it into the required board.
It takes several months to make a set of furniture, and Xu Erlong doesn't want to waste so much time.
The next day, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.
Even though she was staying in a guest house, Zhang Jinfang didn't want to make things easier.
She soaked glutinous rice early and made vegetable buns.
This is a local custom.
In addition to eating mooncakes, you also have to make vegetable buns.
In the past, every household was poor, and it was good to have enough to eat. How could there be so many things to pay attention to?
But now that life is getting better, Zhang Jinfang also plans to make some vegetables and bake them for the children to try.
Soak half of the sticky rice and half of the glutinous rice overnight, then grind it into rice pulp with a stone mill, and then settle it to make glutinous rice balls.
In addition, pick the best pork belly, chop it into meat fillings, add sweet noodle sauce, scallions, lotus root, etc. and stir-fry until fragrant, then wrap the meat fillings into glutinous rice balls like making steamed buns.
Then, pick fresh orange leaves, wash them clean, place the wrapped meat balls one by one on the orange leaves, and steam them in a pot over high heat.
After being spread to cool down, they become individual local specialty dumplings.
Many times, when relatives go between each other, they give this as a gift.
Xu Erlong watched as Zhang Jinfang was so busy eating just this one bite that her feet didn't even touch the floor.
In this world, why many delicacies are gradually disappearing is because people don’t have so much patience and go through so many things just for one bite.
Since Zhang Jinfang likes her, Xu Erlong naturally supports her.
With his help, he went to Sandonggou outside the city, met with local people, and after discussion, he picked a lot of orange leaves and came back.
Orange leaves are not valuable, but you should say hello to others first to avoid others mistakenly thinking that you are going to pick oranges secretly.
Carrying a bamboo basket, he washed the orange leaves by the river and brought them back to the guest house.
"Xu Erlong, someone is looking for you." The round-faced elder sister lowered her voice and winked at Xu Erlong: "She is a beautiful girl."
Xu Erlong took a closer look and saw that it was Wen Ye who was sitting neatly in the lobby of the guest house.
At that moment, Xu Erlong was overjoyed. He strode forward and stood in front of Wen Ye: "Teacher Wen..."
Wen Ye stood up and tucked the hair behind his ears.
When others call her Teacher Wen, she can face it calmly.
But Xu Erlong called her Teacher Wen, which made her a little embarrassed.
Looking at the prying eyes of the round-faced elder sister, Xu Erlong said: "Teacher Wen, come on, come in and sit down."
He brought Wen Ye up to the second floor.
Zhang Jinfang was wrapping vegetable buns. When she saw Xu Erlong bringing a young and beautiful girl into the room, she hurriedly said: "Please sit down quickly."
"You're welcome." Wen Ye said a little cautiously.
She didn't expect that when she came to the guest house to find Xu Erlong, she would face such a situation.
Xu Erlong gave a brief introduction to both parties.
"Come on, girl, eat apples." Zhang Jinfang wiped her hands and was busy peeling apples for Wen Ye.
"Auntie, you don't have to be so polite. I just came to see Xu Erlong and tell him something. I'll leave after that." Wen Ye declined repeatedly.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't take much time to eat some fruit." Zhang Jinfang still enthusiastically peeled the apple and stuffed it into Wen Ye's hand.
"Just feel free to eat." Xu Erlong looked at Wen Ye with a smile.
Under the gaze of mother and son, Wen Ye took a small bite of the apple.
This was also the first time in her life that she had eaten an apple, and the sweet smell of the apple filled her lips and teeth.
"You guys chat slowly while I go get the vegetable buns." Zhang Jinfang had the foresight to leave space for the two of them.
"Did Director Hu not trouble you again during this period?" Xu Erlong sat down next to her, keeping a safe distance of one meter away from her to prevent her from being nervous.
"No." Wen Ye whispered: "Last time, I didn't thank you properly."
"No need to thank me. Anyone who encounters such a beast will teach him a lesson." Xu Erlong replied.
Wen Ye took a deep breath: "You said last time that you wanted to study. I went to find someone to inquire through various channels. In your case, you can continue studying."
This was a reason Xu Erlong made up when he went to find her.
Unexpectedly, she really took it to heart and ran to him to tell him about it.
She even found out exactly which school to go to and which teacher to go to.
Xu Erlong's mind became active: "Will you go to study with me?"
he asked Wen Ye.
"I...I don't want to study anymore..." Wen Ye said, "I'm already a teacher."
"How about you accompany me to school? No one will accompany me, so I'm a little scared." Xu Erlong said miserably: "I'm afraid of meeting the teacher."
Wen Ye couldn't help laughing and laughed: "Are you afraid of meeting the teacher?"
"Yes." Xu Erlong nodded solemnly: "When I saw the teacher, I felt panicked, my hands trembled, my feet trembled, and I couldn't understand what I was saying."
"Then are you afraid of me?" Wen Ye looked at him with a smile: "I don't think you are afraid of me at all."
She smiled like this, her eyebrows were slightly raised, her eyes were moving, and she was naturally charming.
Even though Xu Erlong had known her for many years, his heart was pounding and his mouth was dry.
After all, he is just a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, at the peak of his youth.
At this moment, he is facing the girl he likes. It would be really abnormal if he didn't react at all.
He stood up, poured water, and drank half a cup of tea before he managed to calm down his restlessness.
"You are really afraid of the teacher. Look how nervous you are, you don't know where to put your hands and feet." Wen Ye sighed softly: "Then next week, I will go with you to save you from being nervous."
Xu Erlong was stunned. This was a mistake. Is there such a good thing?
