The originally desolate and messy courtyard is now clean and tidy, although it cannot be called magnificent.
The snow that originally covered the ground was swept away, and the weeds in the yard were pulled out. Xiao Yu also built a small fence in the yard.
There is a round wooden table and five short wooden piers placed more than one meter outside the wing. When the weather gets hot, you can eat and work on this small wooden table.
The snow on the roof of the main room and the wing room was also swept away.
If Su Luo and Chun Xue were to deal with it, they wouldn't be able to achieve such an effect even in three days.
Su Zimu was the most excited, running straight to the small fence, "Can I raise chickens here? Brother, I want to raise chickens here, is it okay? Raise chickens, raise chickens, raise chickens
.”
The child's eyes were shining brightly, staring excitedly at the area enclosed by the fence. A pair of small hands touched the fence and was reluctant to move away.
In the past, Su Zimu was always quiet in the Zhenning Marquis Mansion. Others said that Su Zimu had a good temper, a calm temperament and an obedient personality.
This was the first time Su Luo saw her brother happy like a child.
He looks like a child, he is only five years old.
Calm, that's because that home is someone else's home.
The fence was surrounded by the wall, and the size was just right for raising chickens. Su Luo responded to him with a smile on her face, turning to Xiao Yu: "Xiao Xiucai is so capable. Scholars are different. They work hard."
It’s better than us.”
Xiao Yu was not embarrassed at all when he was praised, "Just give me food to eat."
After saying that, he stretched his neck and glanced at the bucket placed in front of Su Luo's feet, "What is this? Food for tonight? Do you want my help? If I help, can it be converted into tomorrow's meal?"
Su Luo:......
Although these words sounded a little uncomfortable, they made Su Luo feel less restrained.
"This is a dumpling. I bought it and planned to braise it. Tonight we will eat braised long beans with stick bones. I bought steamed buns and cakes. Xiao Xiucai asked your brother to come over and eat together."
Xiao Yu originally stared at the contents of the bucket. When he heard that it was water, he frowned, but he didn't ask any more questions. He walked over and picked up the bucket in two steps, "Is this for the side room?"
There is no separate kitchen in this yard. There is a stove in the wing room. At present, the wing room is the bedroom kitchen and the window for doing business, three in one.
"If you need to wash it later, just leave it at the door of the wing." Su Luo said.
While they were talking, the pots, pans, beds, quilts, etc. that they had purchased earlier were delivered. There was a lot of noise outside. Su Luo hurried to the door to greet the store clerk and waved people to bring things in.
Fortunately, the wing room is large, and Xiao Yu helped clean it cleanly.
There is a bed placed in the inner position, and a curtain can be drawn in the middle to block it. The kitchen is just outside. The stove is ready-made, and you can just put the pot in it.
Su Luo also bought all the messy chopping boards, knives and accessories.
As soon as the waiter in the store left, she started cooking.
There was a water vat in the kitchen. Xiao Yu had already helped clean it and filled the vat with water. Su Luo scooped a few ladles into the pot and boiled the water first to scald the pots and bowls.
The firewood was bought today. Chun Xing sat in front of the stove to light the fire. He glanced outside the door and said, "Brother, this Xiao Xiucai is a diligent person. He is really good at this job. There is nothing wrong inside or outside."
You have to be picky, and you don’t speak empty-mindedly. Although it sounds a bit awkward, I don’t say a word of lies.
I know how to do carpentry, and the small table outside is probably made of the scrap wood piled by the back door.
He is a scholar, and when we talk about getting into the water, he doesn't dislike me at all, and I feel very easy to get along with him."
The water was boiling in the pot, Su Luo picked long beans and responded with a smile.
It's easy to get along with.
She had been a little scared and uneasy when she opened the door before, but now, she felt quite relaxed talking to this person again.
The sound of Su Zimu and Xiao Yu chatting could be heard outside.
"Kid, what's your name?" Xiao Yu squatted by the fence and talked to Su Zimu.
"My name is Su Laosan." Su Zimu replied crisply according to the name his sister taught him, and kept touching the fence with his little hands.
Xiao Yu gave a short laugh, "Then don't your brothers have to be called Mr. Su and Mr. Su?"
"Yes, our family members are named according to their age." Su Zimu nodded seriously, feeling that the big brother in front of him looked really good-looking when he smiled.
Xiao Yu amused him so much, "Child, let me discuss something with you. You will be raising chickens in a few days. Can you help my brother raise a few too?"
Su Zimu blinked and looked at him with a puzzled look on his face, "My chickens are my brother's chickens, why should I help my brother raise them again?"
Xiao Yu pointed at himself, "Help me, brother, you, brother Xiao, I will also buy a few chickens. You can help me raise them. I will share my chickens, eggs and future chickens."
You half, okay? After the wood dries in a few days, I will build a small house for your chicken coop to shelter the chickens from the rain."
Su Zimu asked doubtfully: "Then why don't you raise it yourself?"
Xiao Yu touched the child's little face and said, "Brother has to study and doesn't have time to serve these chicks. My brother has to work to make money and has no time. Just be a good person and help me."
Studying is very expensive and requires a lot of brainpower. If my own chickens lay eggs, I don’t have to spend money to buy eggs.”
Su Zimu thought for a while, "That's okay, but I want to change the conditions. I don't want half of your eggs and chicken. Aren't you a scholar? Can you teach me how to read?"
In the past, at Zhenninghou Mansion, the only thing Su Zimu envied about the young masters of Zhenninghou Mansion was that they could study.
Su Luo also asked him to go with her, but Mrs. Zhenninghou refused because he was too young.
At this time, He Xiaoyu proposed, and Su Zimu looked at him with direct expectation.
Xiao Yu smiled and rubbed the top of his head, "Then let's make a deal. We just have to wait for the weather to warm up in spring to raise the chicks. We have to wait for at least another month. Do you want to wait until the chicks are raised before studying?
Do you want to read with me now?"
"I have to ask my brother and I will tell you tomorrow." Su Zimu said like a young adult.
Su Luo stewed sweet potatoes and long beans with big stick bones. Xiao Yu didn't eat here. He took a large bowl of vegetables and three steamed buns and returned to his place.
Ping An was speechless as he looked at his master who was cheating on food and drink.
"Your Majesty, my brother and sister have fallen into such a state of poverty, how dare you bring her food back to eat?" Ping An simply couldn't understand his little prince's mind, "You fell in love with her at first sight, and as a result, you pursued her like this.
?Just watch others suffer?"
Xiao Yu sat on the chair, enjoying the long beans with chopsticks, and rolled his eyes at Ping An.
"You know nothing!"
Chang'an was speechless and said: "I don't understand, but I also know that marrying a man, wearing clothes and eating, and pursuing a girl must make the family live a good life!"
"How do I let her live a good life? Pretend that I am a heartless rich businessman who is in need of money and sell his house at a low price? Secretly ask a nanny to sell her a good house? Or pretend that I am injured and in distress and let her rescue me, and then I will know
To repay her with money and to promise her not to marry her? Please read less of your storybook, it will be wise!
No one with any brain would be able to do such a thing.
Besides, she doesn't need such charity and sympathy.
Only when people spend the money they earn can they live a secure life. If she has the ability to make money and wants to support her younger brother on her own, I will only support her more than others.
She's not like those canaries."
Can Canary make such delicious braised long beans?
Xiao Yu had a proud look on his face. He put the eight vegetables and soup he bought from Fuyuan Restaurant beside him without touching it, and only ate the bowl of braised long beans.
"How's the matter at the dock going?" After dinner, Xiao Yu asked Ping An about business.
