The next day, after Ji Mingtao came back from work, he quietly found Gu Shichu and helped her make mud bricks.

He took the shovel from Gu Shichu's hand and said, "I'll stir the mud, and you add water and mud." He was tall and strong, and he worked neatly and easily. He stirred up the mud under the shovel.

Like cotton, it seems effortless.

Gu Shichu suddenly became energetic, and all the fatigue on her body disappeared. She listened obediently to Ji Mingtao's instructions. He added water when he said to add water, and when he said to add mud, he added mud. They cooperated very well.

Ji Mingtao was very strong and could mix the mud quickly. He shoveled the mixed mud into the mud brick mold in a few clicks, ironed it, moved it to the sun to dry, and waited for the bricks to be produced.

Gu Shichu saw that he was sweating profusely from work, and quickly picked up his towel to wipe his sweat. When Ji Mingtao was touched by her sudden move, all the muscles in his body stiffened immediately, and he did not dare to move.

"You don't have free hands, so I'll wipe away your sweat." Gu Shichu said quickly. She would never admit that she was secretly taking advantage of him.

Seeing that he was still uncomfortable, Gu Shichu could only glance at his smooth arm muscles with regret, put the towel in his hand on his shoulders, and said, "Then wipe it yourself."

Haste makes waste, Gu Shichu secretly warned himself, never be too impatient and scare people away.

Ji Mingtao then freed up a hand to wipe his own sweat and breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Shichu was so careless. If she hadn't been a woman, he would have suspected that she did it on purpose.

When one move failed, there was another move. Gu Shichu took out a kettle, poured a bowl of dark water out, gave it to Ji Mingtao, and said, "Brother Ji, you must be thirsty because you sweat so much. Drink."

A bowl of sour plum soup."

Ji Mingtao looked at the bowl of soup that was as black as poison and medicine, and didn't really want to drink it. Gu Shichu saw his suspicion and said, "Don't worry, this is really sour plum soup, it won't

Drink from bad people, I just drank several bowls of it and nothing happened."

Seeing her open face, Ji Mingtao had no choice but to take the bowl and drink it in one gulp.

As soon as he took a sip, the cool, sour and sweet soup flowed down his mouth and down his throat. It instantly relieved the heat in his body and made him immediately refreshed. He immediately drank a bowl of sour plum soup much faster.

Finished it quickly.

When Gu Shichu saw this, he immediately poured him another bowl and said, "Do you like this sour plum soup? I still have it at home. I'll pour another pot for you to take back to drink at night."

"Thank you very much." Ji Mingtao did not refuse.

Because Ji Mingtao came to help after work, Gu Shichu didn't let him work for long so as not to tire him out.

"Brother Ji, you have to work again today and have been helping me for so long. You must be exhausted. Why don't you stop cooking at night? I can just make more and send it to you to save you the trouble.

"Gu Shichu rolled his eyes and suddenly had an idea, and tentatively said to Ji Mingtao.

"No, I'll do it myself." Ji Mingtao refused.

"What you want is what you want. People in the village go to other people's homes to help with work, and the host also has to take care of the food. It's nothing if I cook an extra portion of your meal. If you are so tired, don't do it. Just rest more! That's it!

It's settled, I'll make the meal and deliver it to you, you must not cook it." After Gu Shichu finished speaking to himself, he ran away without giving Ji Mingtao a chance to speak.

Ji Mingtao stood there and stared at Gu Shichu's back for a long time before leaving.

Although he didn't know why Gu Shichu went out of his way to please him, but with soldiers coming to stop him, water coming and earth covering him up, and he was alone, what else could she plot? Could it be that she wanted to trick him into working for her?

Ji Mingtao's eyes turned cold. Thinking of this possibility, the sour plum soup he drank earlier was no longer so delicious. Humph, you dare to plot against him? He is not a good person, but Gu Shichu made a mistake in his abacus.

Gu Shichu didn't know that the man he liked had guessed her plan completely wrong. No, it wasn't too wrong. After all, she really wanted him to work hard for her, but this job

If you don't work in the field, you have to work in bed...

Gu Shichu, who was full of yellow waste, hummed a song and started cooking. She steamed white rice, fried bacon and garlic sprouts, heated up the spicy rabbit meat left over from lunch, and fried vegetables. The table was quite rich.

, many people may not be able to eat so well even during the Chinese New Year.

Gu Shichu was not too worried that Ji Mingtao would be suspicious. Although white rice was precious, she could say that it was something her father brought back when he was seriously ill and had not finished it. The bacon could be said to be made during the Chinese New Year, and the rabbit meat was

She was lucky enough to catch it when she went up the mountain...

This was enough to fool her. Of course, in order to continue to eat meat in the future, she had to gradually reveal her ability to hunt. Otherwise, she would be choked if she was given meat every day and couldn't eat it openly.

.

Moreover, because she can hunt, Ji Mingtao is more likely to be impressed by her. After all, if you follow her, you will have meat to eat!

Gu Shichu happily thought of everything. After she prepared the meal, she wanted to take out an empty plate, separate half of the dishes, and send them to Ji Mingtao.

Suddenly her eyes rolled, Ji came to her mind, and she thought, what kind of food should we share? She could take all the food to Ji Mingtao and eat with him! She would be a fool not to take advantage of this opportunity at the right time and place.

catch!

So Gu Shichu, who was smiling like a fox who stole a chicken, packed all the food, poured a pot of sour plum soup, and walked to Ji Mingtao's house with a smile on his face.

"Brother Ji, open the door quickly, I'm bringing you food!" Gu Shichu knocked on the door and shouted.

After a while, Ji Mingtao, who had changed his clothes and had moisture still on his hair, came out. Gu Shichu's eyes brightened when he saw the man who was particularly refreshing and handsome after taking a shower. This man was indeed

He is a rare masterpiece, look at his misty eyes, pursed diamond-shaped thin lips, and deep and beautiful eyebrows like a painting...

"Have you seen enough?" Ji Mingtao asked in a deep voice, looking at the woman whose eyes were staring at him unabashedly, with a dark face.

"Haha, I've seen enough, I've seen enough...I've made food, come on and let's eat together!" Gu Shichu quickly walked around him, walked to his living room in a familiar way, and took the food out of the basket.

He brought out two bowls of rice and called to Ji Mingtao, "Come and eat quickly. The food won't taste good if it's cold."

She looked familiar, as if she was the master of the house. Ji Mingtao sat down at the dining table expressionlessly. Seeing two bowls of rice on the table, he asked coldly: "Why are you here too?"

eat?"

Gu Shichu didn't feel any embarrassment at all, and said with a smile: "It would be more lively for two of us to eat together. Anyway, I am alone in my house, and you are also alone, so I thought we might as well eat together. Having someone to eat with me will help my appetite."

better."
