Chapter 121 Letter
The cold wind was howling outside the window, but it was much warmer inside the house.
The charcoal fire burned in the stove, emitting a fiery red light and occasionally making a crackling sound.
Dahuang was lying around the stove, staring at the flames intently. He seemed to be in a daze, very happy, without any worldly desires.
Its tail was still moving, lightly sweeping across the edge of the charcoal fire each time, which made Xu Si worried that its tail would get burned.
Although Xiaobai looks almost the same age as his mother, he still acts like a little child. He leans in Dahuang's arms and dozes off with his head nodding.
For fear that they would catch a cold, Xu Si stuffed a cushion under their bodies.
She and Shen Yanchen had already entered the bed and wrapped themselves tightly in the quilt, fearing that the heat would dissipate.
There was nothing else to do, so I just turned off the lights.
Su Jinyue said that she would read a conversation book with Shen Jingchuan at night, or read a story to Qining to cultivate the relationship among the family.
Their relationship was not that serious, and one of them was illiterate and the other was a playboy, and neither of them wanted to read any books.
Xu Si was not sleepy yet. He covered his mouth with the hot water bottle, turned over, and lay down to look at the puppy.
Shen Yanchen was not sleepy yet. He noticed Xu Si's actions and looked over there.
"You're so nice to them."
Xu Si tilted his head, "Why do you say that?"
"People usually don't let local dogs sleep in the house."
"It's just too cold outside. They are clean, so I wipe their paws every day."
It is said that dogs have a furry coat and will not freeze to death, but not freezing to death is different from being cold.
Since you have raised a dog, you have to be responsible for it. In her opinion, there is no difference between a local dog and a pet dog. Both are dogs that the owners have invested affection in and taken good care of, so they should not be treated differently.
Shen Yanchen had no objection to this matter, and he asked this question just to find a topic to talk about.
The topic ended and the two fell into silence again.
They had mutton spine hotpot for dinner. Xu Si felt a little dry in the mouth and wanted to drink some water. As soon as she lifted a corner of the quilt, her skin touched the cold air and she almost got goose bumps. She silently shrank back.
He asked tentatively, "Can you do me a favor?"
"What's the matter?"
"Please pour me a glass of water."
"Oh, okay." Shen Yanchen said as he stood up without asking why. He was used to doing things as he was told.
Without turning on the light, he just groped his way to the table in the dark and poured himself a glass of water.
When Da Huang heard the sound, he half raised his body, and after finding out that it was Shen Yanchen who got out of bed, he lay down again.
As expected, it kisses whoever feeds it. If Xu Si got out of bed, it would be circling around her feet now.
After Xu Si took the cup of water, he hurriedly said, "Thank you, please get into bed quickly, don't catch a cold."
She originally thought that she would have to bargain with the other party, but she didn't expect him to do it directly, which still surprised her.
Shen Yanchen responded in a low voice and lay back down again, still feeling some warmth.
Originally, when he got up, he lifted the quilt directly. After Xu Si saw it, he pressed it down, otherwise it would have been cold.
The water was a little cold, so Xu Si drank it slowly, not in a hurry to swallow it, but held it in his mouth to warm it up first.
She usually doesn't like to drink water at night, otherwise she has to go to the toilet.
Not only do I have to wake up from a sound sleep, but I also have to get dressed and go outside. I lose all sleepiness after all the tossing and turning. I can't just go out with just a quilt wrapped around me, what if I accidentally sweep up poop?
After drinking, she stretched out her arm to put the cup on the ground, then quickly retracted it.
Say to the people around you in a good mood, "Go to sleep, good night."
Shen Yanchen was inexplicably happy. Although he didn't know the meaning of good night, he could vaguely figure out the meaning and replied in a gentle voice, "Good night."
When Su Jinyue entered the kitchen, Xu Si was busy with his back to her, pouring out the water from the steamed fish head. Even though it was covered with a cloth, it was still so hot that she grimaced.
I saw someone coming from the corner of my eye, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
"There's a letter from Lan Lizhou. Dad wants you to come over and read it."
It has been almost two months since he left, and there has been no news. A while ago, my parents were still saying they didn't know how he was doing.
"Then wait a moment, I'll steam the fish first." It's only half done, I can't just throw it away.
"Not urgent."
Su Jinyue saw her putting chopped pepper on the fish, and then she used a spoon to add more peppers.
After finishing the work, he asked Zhang Shan to keep an eye on the time, and the two of them set off.
"How did he send the letter here?" Xu Si held Su Jinyue's arm, squeezing her to keep warm.
"Didn't the people from the shop next door send him off? The groom just came back and brought him a message."
He still had some impression of the groom Xu Si. He looked very strong and muscular. If he encountered a robber, the robber would probably think twice.
"I see."
The coachman left quickly after delivering the letter, eager to return home.
He had originally planned to leave after sending the young master home, but he was kept for another month. Although it was good to not have to work and still get paid, it was still uncomfortable to be in an unfamiliar place. Isn't it better to have a wife, children and a warm bed?
Everyone sat together, and Shen Anyi opened the letter and read it line by line.
Lou Yuexin urged, "What did you write?"
"I asked about our recent situation, how everyone is doing, how business is going, and if there is anything delicious recently."
Shen Anyi couldn't help laughing at the end, and everyone laughed too.
"This Ah Shui loves to eat so much. I don't know if he finished the food I made for him before I left." Lou Yuexin is still used to calling him Ah Shui, which makes her feel close to him.
"He also mentioned this, saying that thanks to the dried fruits and vegetables, he is in good health. He and Ah Cai ate half of the pork jerky just three days after they set out, and later decided that each person could only eat one piece a day.
The meat sauce also came in handy. There was a stretch of road where there were no restaurants, so we not only had to sleep in the wild, but we only had steamed buns to eat.
They ate it with the sauce and were very satisfied. The people traveling with them smelled it and wanted to buy from them, but they naturally refused. "
"What else did you say?"
Shen Anyi glanced at the letter again, "It said that after he returned, his family found a doctor for him, and he took medicine and had acupuncture, but it didn't work."
Xu Si probably thought that, according to the routine, he would probably need some stimulation before he could remember it.
“His mother was very kind to him, but he was disappointed that the first thing his father did when he saw him was to ask about the tribute.
The naughty kid wanted to play a trick on him again when he got home, so he got beaten up by him."
It's great, that's how it should be, otherwise he will become lawless and shit on people's heads.
However, Lan Lizhou had always behaved in a polite manner before, but in the letter he seemed like a completely different person. He talked a lot, almost covering every detail.
The reality is calm, but the Internet is enthusiastic.
But one can tell from his words how much he misses this.
"Finally, speaking of the cake," Shen Anyi paused and looked at Xu Si, "He is now slowly getting familiar with things with the help of Acai and his mother, and he also has some money and connections of his own.
If you want to do this business and don't intend to belong to the Lan family, and want someone to cooperate with you, if it's okay, you can send him a letter and he will send someone to handle it."
"Sure," Xu Si decided immediately. Although he did not rely on the Lan family, he was still strong compared to others.
"Okay, then I'll write him a reply and find out if anyone has been to the capital recently."
Xu Si nodded, "Then I'll make him something else and send it along."
As business partners, it’s natural to show some appreciation. The more gifts you give, the better.
