Chapter 307 Peaceful Times, Children's Joy
"You ah you!"
Gao Mengli covered her mouth with one hand, laughing uncontrollably, and poked Lin Xi's forehead with the other.
Da Niu, disliked by his adoptive father, was caught in a dilemma: whether to stay or leave.
It's all his fault. He was studying peacefully in his room, but he had to come out and run into his father, that troublemaker.
Seeing Da Niu staring blankly at him, Lin Xi felt a little embarrassed and immediately put on a stern face: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and go back to your room to review your lessons. Are you still going to take the preliminary examination?"
Da Niu got a way out, and the little chick nodded excitedly, pecking at the rice: "Hey, hey, Dad, I'm going right now!"
As he spoke, he stepped onto the steps his living father had placed at his feet, and excitedly turned around and rushed into the house, his movements decisive and without any hesitation or lingering.
Watching Da Niu disappear in a flash, Lin Xi shook her head helplessly: "That kid, he runs out to join in the fun at the slightest sound. I wonder who he's chasing with that kind of temper?"
Gao Mengli stopped laughing and nodded in agreement: "Don't be too harsh on him. He's just a kid, naturally curious. As for his personality, he's somewhat like you."
It's true that everyone has a gossipy nature.
Yes, it's like Lin Xi, it has nothing to do with her.
Lin Xi: "..."
He has the right to suspect that his childhood sweetheart is subtly criticizing him, but he has no evidence.
"Master, the sorghum is washed. What do you plan to do next?"
At this moment, Gao Lao Er's voice broke the awkward silence between the two.
Lin Xi suddenly realized what was happening and quickly turned to look at Gao Lao Er: "Drain the water from the sorghum and put it in the big vat. I'll be right there."
As she spoke, Lin Xi quickly walked over.
Gao Mengli also moved over and whispered to Lin Xi about the ratio of yeast to sorghum.
Lin Xi quickly and nimbly sprinkled the yeast evenly, then stirred it again. This step was crucial to the color and flavor of the vinegar.
Gao Mengli was also there, helping to tidy up the tools: "The weather has been clear and sunny these past few days, and the temperature is just right, perfect for fermentation. I reckon this batch of vinegar will be a success."
Lin Xi felt uncertain, after all, it was her first time doing this, but she couldn't stop her excitement and high spirits, her confidence shining brightly.
"Mengli, we have the right timing and the right place, I think it's going to work!"
I stir it regularly every day, and I control the temperature and humidity carefully; there's absolutely no reason why it wouldn't succeed.
Gao Mengli: "..."
Gao Mengli couldn't help but glance at Lin Xi a few more times; her Xi Xi was so confident that she almost didn't recognize her.
But whatever, things will work themselves out.
The reason people feel anxious is simply because they have headaches from thinking about too many things that haven't happened yet.
But the future is uncertain, and many things will not happen, so why think so much? Thinking too much will only make you anxious. Isn't it enough to just be relaxed and happy in the present moment?
Live carefree like Lin Xi, and cherish the present moment!
So, Gao Mengli decided not to say anything hurtful, swallowed her words, and chose not to spoil the mood!
As they talked, they worked, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
When Gao Mengli raised her hand to wipe her sweat, she accidentally smeared flour all over her face, making her look comical.
Lin Xi turned her head and saw a big, messy face. She couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Look at you, you've turned into a little kitten."
Gao Mengli paused in wiping her sweat, her eyes following the direction of her hand, staring directly at Lin Xi's face.
She always settled scores on the spot, and she raised her hand to smear the flour on Lin Xi's face.
Lin Xi couldn't dodge in time and was also smeared with a white mark.
"Hmph, who else but you, handsome young man, could possibly be better!"
Lin Xi looked at Gao Mengli's smug expression and felt both annoyed and amused.
She reached out and wiped the flour off her face, feigning anger: "Fine, Mengli, how dare you tease me like this? Let's see how I deal with you."
As he spoke, he made a move to grab her.
Gao Mengli nimbly dodged behind a water vat, waved at Lin Xi, and replied in a cheeky tone:
"Come and catch me if you dare! Yes, Your Majesty, come and catch me!"
"Pfft~"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi nearly choked on the air in her mouth!
It's a good thing he's a "young lady," otherwise he would definitely have fallen for Mengli's tricks.
Just as the two were arguing fiercely, Gan Ermei walked in carrying a basin of freshly washed sorghum.
Seeing this, he froze on the spot, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Boss, what...what are you all busy with?"
Lin Xi and Gao Mengli stopped, looked at each other, and blushed deeply.
Lin Xi coughed lightly, straightened her clothes, and began to talk nonsense with a straight face: "Ahem, we've been busy all day and are feeling tired, so we're just stretching our muscles. Yes, we're stretching our muscles!"
Gan Ermei's inner "little devil" was laughing wildly, but her face remained as steady as an old dog.
She placed the sorghum stalks beside the two of them, then turned and quickly ran towards her old man in the corner.
Because she was afraid that if she ran too late, she wouldn't be able to keep a straight face and would burst out laughing on the spot.
She really didn't want to make fun of the two of them in front of her, but those two were just as funny as clowns!
Gan Ermei ran to a corner, grabbed her old man, and walked away until they were out of hearing Lin Xi and Gao Mengli talking. Then she burst out laughing, laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight.
“Old man, you didn’t see it. Our two bosses usually look so serious, but when they start arguing now, they look just like two little kids.”
Gao Lao Er couldn't help but chuckle, gently patting his wife's hand: "Keep your voice down, don't let the landlord hear you, they're so shy!"
Seeing them like this, I felt relieved.
I must say, my elder brother and sister-in-law did do something quite right.
When Gan Ermei saw him mention those two people, she quickly waved her hand to interrupt him: "Why bring up those two Wen Shang? They are just unlucky. I hope they won't be so cold-hearted in their next life, and that they can be good people."
Gao Lao Er expressed his strong agreement with this point.
The two stopped talking and quickly got to work.
However, the two of them would occasionally glance at the place in the yard where they were playing and laughing, their faces full of aunt and uncle smiles!
After a busy day, having made four large vinegar jars, Lin Xi, along with Gao Lao Er, carried the vinegar jars into the kitchen near the stove.
Although the weather is getting warmer, the temperature is low at night, which may affect the fermentation of the vinegar.
The large vat is placed near the stove to maintain the fermentation temperature and ensure everything goes smoothly.
After all, the stove fire burning coal provides a sufficient temperature at night, which is perfect for fermenting vinegar.
After Gan Ermei and Gao Lao Er saw that things were almost settled, they carried the sausages to the drying room.
Before long, the drying room, which had been quiet for several days, was once again filled with wisps of smoke.
A few days later, Da Niu also went to the county school.
After feeling much better, Gao Mengli began preparing for spring plowing.
We plan to build a cultivation room so that the seedlings can be directly put into use later.
