Chapter 520 The Old Man Can’t Stay Idle
The next day, when Bai Youwei woke up, Shen Mo was not around.
He stood by the window, which was half open. The rain outside had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy.
"What time is it now?" Bai Youwei stood up and asked.
"Seven o'clock." Shen Mo replied.
Bai Youwei was in a trance for a while. Had she slept for so long? Looking at the sky, I thought it was five or six o'clock, but it turned out to be seven o'clock... She usually didn't sleep well in a strange environment, and she didn't know what happened this time. She fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
I always feel like this is not a good thing.
Bai Youwei got up slowly. Next to the screen were toiletries, a damp wooden washbasin, a rough bristle toothbrush, and a handkerchief with an earthy smell.
She didn't touch any of these things. She opened the doll house and asked Teacher Cheng for toiletries for her and Shen Mo.
By the way, I brought breakfast with me.
Teacher Cheng made scallion-flavored flower rolls and grain-soy milk.
Staying in the doll house is nothing but idle time. Teacher Cheng cooks and studies recipes every day, and his cooking skills have improved a lot.
During breakfast, Teacher Cheng was on this side of the door, looking at Bai Youwei and Shen Mo on the other side, and asked hesitantly: "Weiwei... Is your game this time difficult?"
"Well, it's quite difficult. Neither Shen Mo nor I can understand Fuzhou dialect." Bai Youwei gnawed on the flower scroll and asked Teacher Cheng, "Can you speak Fujian?"
"Fujian language?" Teacher Cheng shook his head blankly and murmured, "Isn't it archaeological poetry?"
Bai Youwei burst into laughter, "Teacher Cheng, aren't you satisfied?"
Last night I had a poem exchange with someone, and the exchange was very exciting.
Chengwei smiled sheepishly and said frankly: "I have been taken care of by you all the time, so I want to help..."
"When I need to use you, I will definitely not be polite to you." Bai Youwei took a bite of the flower roll. It was hot and fragrant. It was soft and chewy in the mouth. After the salty aroma, she could taste a touch of sweetness, "... …Mmm, it’s delicious.”
"Then eat more." Teacher Cheng said with a smile, "Xiao Shen, eat more too. There is still a lot in the steamer."
"Send some to Du Lai." Shen Mo said to Bai Youwei, "It seems that the only dry food he has is compressed biscuits. He probably won't last a few days."
"Okay." Bai Youwei nodded, "Just say we got it from the old scholar's kitchen. He will believe it or not~"
Anyway, since we have formed an alliance, we can be more generous and share some of the food and drink.
Shen Mo took some Hanamaki steamed buns and went to the next door.
Teacher Cheng discussed with Bai Youwei again: "The vegetable patch on the hillside is almost done. It's quite a big place, but it has no color, nothing but green. Should we plant some flowers..."
——If the purpose of growing vegetables and food is to eat, then growing flowers is really just for the sake of looking good. It is not necessary. It is really because the old people can’t stay idle and always want to find something to do for themselves to make themselves valuable.
Bai Youwei agreed wholeheartedly, "Okay, Shen Mo and I will dig out a few later."
It happened that there were piles of peonies and peonies in the old scholar's garden, and they seemed to be famous brands.
Teacher Cheng stood up and said, "Then I'll find you two shovels..."
Before he finished speaking, a burst of crying came from a distance——
Teacher Cheng was stunned, and Bai Youwei was also stunned. She immediately raised her hand to close the door of the doll house, and said quickly: "Teacher Cheng, let me go take a look. We will talk about planting flowers later!"
She slid her wheelchair to the door, but it was blocked by a higher threshold.
These ancient buildings were too unfriendly to her.
Fortunately, Shen Mo came back quickly and easily lifted the wheelchair out.
Bai Youwei asked him: "Where are Du Lai and Fu Miaoxue?"
Shen Mo shook his head, "They are not in the house."
