Adi was born into a noble family. Although he was not favored by his father, he was still his master. He had never suffered any injustice in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, so he was quite picky about food.

Now I am eating the sweet and vegetable buns made by Li Qingyou, and my expression is simply indescribable.

The reason why it is called sugar cabbage buns is because the bun skin is sweet because Li Qingyou forgot to pick out the sugar before, and the filling inside is salty. Also, the bun skin is a bit hard because it is not made from yeast.

relation.

Even if he wanted to praise it, he couldn't say it was delicious.

Looking at Sister Qingyou eating buns with a nonchalant expression, Adi was simply amazed.

"Is it delicious, sister?" Adi looked at Li Qingyou's expression carefully and saw her nodding.

"It's okay." Li Qingyou didn't notice what she was eating at all. At this moment, she was still struggling with Zhang Tieniu.

Adi, "..."

I remembered that my father always said how unpalatable the food he ate when he was young was poor. That was probably the case. After all, he couldn't compare with the food cooked by the cook in the house. I didn't think it was hard to accept it.

Li Qingyou spent the entire meal struggling to figure out how to face Zhang Tieniu. Then she thought of the old guy who took her money but broke his promise, and muttered bitterly, "This old liar."

Adi looked over with confusion. Li Qingyou hurriedly smiled and rubbed the hair on his head, "It's okay, eat quickly."

It seemed like that person had lost all her money and ran away. If it didn't work out, she would have to find someone else. But she didn't have much money left, and she felt worried just thinking about it.

Fortunately, I can sell tofu after tonight, and I should be able to save some time to get it together.

The meal ended in silence. Li Qingyou remembered that today was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Since he couldn't go out to watch the lanterns, he could still watch them at home.

"Brother, go wash the dishes. Sister, I'll find something good for you." Li Qingyou said and went back to the west room, rummaged through his cabinet and found a slightly deformed lantern.

Mrs. Li bought this for her on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month last year. She didn't want to throw it away and carefully put it away.

Li Qingyou lit the remaining half of the candle in the lantern, and brought it to his brother happily, "Does it look good?"

Adi blinked his big eyes and nodded vigorously, "It's beautiful. This boat lantern is so beautiful."

"..." Li Qingyou's mouth twitched, "This is the lotus lantern."

Adi scratched his head, okay.

Usually lanterns are hung under the eaves, but fortunately it was completely dark now, and most people went to the streets to watch the lanterns tonight, so Li Qingyou thought about it and asked Adi to come out and hang the lanterns together.

The eaves have a certain height. Li Qingyou moved a stool out and stood on it to hang it on the eaves. Adi directed from below, "It's crooked, go a little further to the left."

The ground at the door was uneven. Li Qingyou stood precariously on the stool, trying to stand on tiptoes to hang the lantern, "This way?"

Before Adi could answer, a cry of surprise suddenly sounded at the door. Li Qingyou was so frightened that her feet slipped and she fell straight down.

In desperation, Adi wanted to pick her up, but Li Qingyou pushed her away and said quickly in a low voice: "Hurry in."

Adi was pushed and fell into the door. He looked at the figure running towards him in the darkness, got up angrily and helplessly and ran into the west room.

There was a bang at the courtyard wall at the door, and a man climbed over the wall and jumped in. He quickly ran to Li Qingyou and helped her up, "Sister Qingyou, how are you, are you not broken?"

As he spoke, he looked at Li Qingyou up and down, and his big hands like cattail leaf fingers were stroking her body.

It was Zhang Tieniu who came here. He was dragged by Qin Xiu to look for his wallet. Where could he look for it in the crowded street?

He was impatient with Qin Xiu's constant chatter, so he happened to see Shen Si, who was also a policeman in the Yamen, so he handed Qin Xiu to him and ran back while there were many people.

As soon as she walked to the door of Li's house, she saw Li Qingyou standing on the stool and was about to fall off at any moment. In desperation, she shouted to her to be careful where she steps. Unexpectedly, she fell.

Li Qingyou rolled her eyes secretly and slapped his hand away angrily.

Zhang Tieniu also noticed something was wrong and blushed. He retracted his hand and scratched his head, "Um... why don't you find a doctor to take a look?"

"It's okay, I just fell. I'll just apply some medicinal wine later." Li Qingyou rubbed the painful lower back and asked him why he was here. At the same time, he was secretly beating in his heart. I wonder if he saw Adi?

Zhang Tieniu didn't notice anything else. He focused on her. He saw the broken lotus lantern on the ground out of the corner of his eye, feeling annoyed and blaming himself.

Adi ran to the door of Xili Room and suddenly stopped. The lights were turned on in the room, but the quilt was not hung on the window yet, and the shadow inside could be seen from the outside.

He turned on his heels and ran towards the east room, but accidentally tripped over the threshold and fell. Although the sound was not loud, it aroused Zhang Tieniu's vigilance, "Who?"

He held the handle of the knife and was about to rush in, but was stopped by Li Qingyou, "There's no one there, it must be a rat."

Seeing the hesitation on Zhang Tieniu's face, she pointed at the octagonal lamp he was holding in his other hand in desperation, "I bought this on the street? It's so beautiful."

Only then did Zhang Tieniu remember the purpose and handed the octagonal lamp to her, "I thought this lamp was pretty good-looking, so I thought you would appreciate it, so I bought it. By the way, there is also this one, which you like the most." of."

Then he took out a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts from his arms and said, "Here, it's still warm."

He held it in his arms for fear of getting cold. His chest felt a little hot, but his heart felt extremely warm.

Li Qingyou took it and thanked him. She was about to ask him to help hang up the lamp, but saw Zhang Tieniu trying to rush in again.

"Sister Qingyou, you live alone, what should you do if there are bad guys?" Looking at Li Qingyou who was blocking the front, Zhang Tieniu was very anxious, "I'll go in and take a look, just take a look, otherwise I won't worry."

Is it really okay to let him in?

Li Qingyou was also anxious, "What do you mean? Are you just like those people, thinking that I... I'm hiding someone in the house?"

"I, I'm not... How could I... Oh." Zhang Tieniu couldn't argue, scratching his head and head anxiously. He wanted to force his way in but didn't dare. He stared at his two big eyes like copper bells and almost burst into flames.

It is not an option to remain in such a stalemate.

"How about..." Li Qingyou pursed her lips, "You wait here, I'll go in and take a look myself, and I'll call you if anything happens."

How can we get there in time?

Zhang Tieniu was full of reluctance but had no choice. He could only watch Li Qingyou enter the room, holding the knife handle and preparing to rush in at any time. It was not until Li Qingyou came out and said there was no one that he had to give up and help hang up the lantern.

Facing a young woman living alone and at night, Zhang Tieniu, as a foreigner, was not allowed to enter the house, let alone stay for a long time. However, he could not just leave, so he could only think of excuses.
