Rain Babbling Last Night - C104
Xu Yin anxiously sat in front of the gate and rushed in, while shouting. Yu Lingling, you little girl, are you still cooking or burning your house?
“Mistress, you’re finally back. I didn’t do it. It’s him, that’s right, that’s him! ” Yu Lingling ran out of the room with a face full of grime. Seeing how angry Xu Yin was, he knew that he must be looking for trouble with her, so Yu Lingling looked around and saw a pillar running out from the kitchen to fetch water, and immediately pointed at him.
“Pillar!” Seeing Yu Lingling say that, Xu Yin immediately believed him. She ran to the front of the pillar in a flurry of movements, tugging at the collar of the pillar with no regard for her image and said fiercely, “Speak!” What did you do to my kitchen! ”
The pitiful pillar, had no idea what was going on with Xu Yin, she had just gone to grab some firewood for Yu Lingling, and upon returning, she saw what Xu Yin had seen.
She looked at Xu Yin with a wronged expression, and said, “Lady Xu, I didn’t do anything to your kitchen.” Xu Yin’s eyes narrowed dangerously, and she couldn’t help but feel a little afraid when she looked at the pillar. The pillar immediately looked at Yu Lingling with a pleading gaze, but the latter was looking at him while begging him, and was continuously gesturing to him to please.
Seeing him, it was going to be troublesome. It seemed like he would have to take the blame.
With a bitter face, Pillar sighed, “Ms. Xu, about that, your kitchen, uh, was burned by me. How about I compensate you with money?”
Pillar One felt wronged, he had only come under the orders to protect Miss Yu. Now, before the person was sent back, he had already spent all his money. This was either buying things for Yu Lingling or losing things for her.
“Humph!” “At least you’re sensible!” Xu Yin’s eyes lit up when he heard about the compensation being paid. He let out a cold snort and let go of the man’s collar.
Pillar was wronged, but no matter how wronged he was, it was useless. One reason was that he could not offend him, and the other was that he did not dare to offend him. So, he could only admit it.
The pillar looked at the money that Xu Yin snatched away with a pained expression. Right, it was snatching!
Xu Yin looked at the bunch of red notes in front of him, her eyes opened even wider, as though a greedy rich person had seen a mountain of gold.
Yu Lingling speechlessly rolled her eyes, she couldn’t help but to look down on this mistress of hers. She was truly a greedy person’s master.
“Pillar, put out the fire!” The moment Xu Yin received the money, she carefully counted it several times. After seeing that it was real money, she felt at ease and carefully kept the money in her pocket. The moment she turned around, he saw that the fire was getting bigger and bigger.
Pillar and Yu Lingling rolled their eyes together. Pillar gave her enough money to repair quite a few kitchens, yet she was still yelling about fighting fire.
However, neither of them dared to say these words out loud. They could only think about them.
Yu Lingling and the pillar carried a bucket and ran towards the well. Seeing that the fire was getting bigger, Xu Yin knew that the two of them would not be able to protect the kitchen, so she immediately joined the fire brigade.
About ten minutes later, the fire was put out successfully.
The three of them were too tired to move, so Yu Lingling, who rarely moved, collapsed onto the ground.
Yu Lingling looked at the sky and asked a question that she really wanted to know, “Mistress, why is it that no one is coming to save you when you are on fire?”
Pillar listened, too, for fear of missing a word.
Upon hearing Yu Lingling’s words, Xu Yin immediately rolled his eyes and said, “When you have time, go out and walk around, don’t stay at my place.” With that, she stood up and left, leaving behind the puzzled Yu Lingling and Zhu Chi who stared at each other.
Yu Lingling and Pillar only found out about the truth of this matter when they were about to leave. Xu Yin’s residence was really quite far away from the crowd, and everyone was in the fields during the day. This was also the reason why no one came to save the fire while Xu Yin’s house was on fire. In fact, the two of them had always thought that it was because Xu Yin was too solitary and did not have a good relationship with the people in the village.
Yu Lingling and Pillar rested where they were for a while, having recovered most of their stamina, they went to the main house. Although the kitchen was not burnt up, it was temporarily unusable. Yu Lingling skillfully used the electric cooker to cook a pot of rice, the three of them ate with the pickled vegetables for a few days, then Xu Yin called for people to repair the kitchen.
Xu Yin was afraid that Yu Lingling would burn the kitchen down again, hence she took the money she got from the pillar to buy a few electromagnetic ovens for Yu Lingling to learn how to cook.
When Yu Lingling saw the electric stove in Xu Yin’s hands, she laughed so hard that her face bloomed. Seeing Yu Lingling being so happy, Xu Yin felt that the money was worth it. However, she seemed to have forgotten that the money wasn’t hers, but was given by the pillar.
When everything was gathered, Yu Lingling once again began her journey of study. After a month of studying, her cooking skills had improved by leaps and bounds, even Xu Yin was extremely satisfied with her disciple.
Furthermore, he taught Yu Lingling everything he knew, while Pillar was Xiang Cai who was able to eat the most authentic dish every day, and a master level one at that. This could also be considered a form of compensation for Pillar’s lack of wealth.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. Counting the time she had spent when she first arrived, four months had passed. In this period of time, Yu Lingling’s hands had never stopped, and his mouth had never stopped either. There was nothing he could do about it, Qian Qian had been locked up for so long, he had already copied the dictionary ten times, to the point that when he saw the word pen, he felt pain. Mo Li was not in a hurry either, acting as if he could whenever he wanted. It was just a sentence. If he couldn’t finish copying it, he would just stay there. Come out? You must be thinking too much.
During this period of time, Qian Qian could only occasionally peek outside the window while he was locked inside, so the current Qian Qian had one additional thing every day, which was to give Yu Lingling a call at any time and anywhere. Except that he himself was asleep.
Yu Lingling was so angry by him that she almost did not want to go back, and directly made him want to die of old age inside, but after thinking about how she was locked in because of her, her heart calmed down a little.
“Mistress, the food has been prepared. Hurry up and have a taste.” In the afternoon, when Xu Yin just came out from the fields, she heard Yu Lingling shouting from the kitchen. After hurriedly washing his hands, she headed towards the kitchen. Upon entering the kitchen, she saw that the pillar was also there, with a face full of greed as she stared at the plate in Yu Lingling’s hands. It was just that Yu Lingling’s protection was too tight, if not Xu Yin had no doubt that she would not be able to eat this dish.
“Alright, let me try.” Xu Yin picked up the chopsticks, pinched a bit of the chopsticks and placed it in her mouth, and slowly tasted it. Yu Lingling anxiously looked at Xu Yin, not letting go of any of the expression on her face. As for the pillar, it was staring at the dish with glowing eyes. It was so fragrant that it almost made him drool.
After a while, Xu Yin put down her chopsticks, looked at Yu Lingling, and did not say anything, her face also had a calm expression, neither happy nor sad, so much that Yu Lingling thought that the person in front of him was not her mistress. Congratulations, you’ve passed. ” Xu Yin looked at the girl in front of him, who was staring at him with her pair of big, spirited eyes, and finally could not hold it in anymore. She laughed and announced the result to Yu Lingling after she was done.
“Wow!” The moment Yu Lingling heard the two words “pass”, she was so excited that she almost threw the plate in her hands out and shouted excitedly, “Wah! I passed, I finally passed! Hahaha! I did it! ”
Yu Lingling shouted as she laughed, and looked as if she was dancing and dancing with joy. Yu Lingling laughed for a while, turned around, looked at Xu Yin solemnly, and bowed deeply, “Mistress, I know that anything I say now is unnecessary, but, I still want to say, during this period of time, thank you for your care and guidance, otherwise, I would never have been able to learn it in my entire life. Furthermore, it could happen so quickly. Thank you so much. ”
“Silly child, what are you talking about? You’re my disciple. I won’t teach you who.” Xu Yin held onto Yu Lingling’s slightly thin shoulder with a face full of love, “Ling Ling, remember, you are my, Xu Yin’s, disciple. So, you cannot lose face for my wife, you know.”
“Mistress, don’t worry. I definitely won’t lose face for Mistress.” “Yu Lingling promised immediately after hearing Xu Yin’s words. “Good, good, good!” Xu Yin was also happy, in this life, she had finally become satisfied after finally accepting a disciple, how could she not be happy?
“Ling Ling, Pillar, you two go out and rest,” Xu Yin said as she waved her hand. Yu Lingling and Zhu Chi were startled, they did not understand what Xu Yin was trying to do and looked at him in astonishment.
Seeing the two of them standing there in a daze, Xu Yin could not help but laugh, “Get out, for tonight’s dinner, I’ll let you guys have a taste of my cooking.”
“Yeah!” was the first to shout out. After being here for so long, Xu Yin had not officially cooked for them once, so now that she finally had the chance to taste Xu Yin’s culinary skills, how could she not be happy?
Pillar stood at the side and giggled, this was all thanks to Yu Lingling, how else would he be able to eat so many delicious foods, she subconsciously looked at her slightly fat stomach and couldn’t help but lament, she would have to lose weight again after returning. However, it wasn’t too late to reduce the fat later. Thinking about it, she immediately smiled again.
Not long after, Xu Yin cooked seven or eight dishes.
Yu Lingling looked at the tasty dishes in front of her, and started to eat, while the pillars opposite her started to eat without a care in the world.
Seeing that something was wrong, Yu Lingling immediately grabbed the chopsticks and blocked his chopsticks, but in exchange, she revealed a resentful expression.
Yu Lingling burst out in laughter and scolded, “Pillar, you’re not allowed to eat it. Mistress hasn’t come yet, if you dare to eat it secretly, I won’t let you eat it.”
“Oh …” Zhu Chi bitterly placed down the chopsticks in his hand. However, his eyes remained unmoving as he stared at the dishes, as if he was afraid that they would run away.
The way Pillar was acting reminded Yu Lingling of that greedy bastard. Yu Lingling couldn’t help but think that these two guys couldn’t be one family 500 years ago, right?
“Ling Ling, why aren’t you eating?” Xu Yin carried three bowls of rice and walked in. One of them was staring at the dishes and the other was staring at the people. “If you still don’t eat it, you’ll be cold. If you’re cold, you won’t taste good.”
“Mistress, you’re finally here.” Once she heard the commotion behind him, Yu Lingling immediately stood up, laughing so hard that she could not even see her own eyes.
“You’re finally here. If you don’t come soon, the dishes will be ruined by him alone.” Yu Lingling laughed. “Alright, let’s eat.” Xu Yin sat down and said.
Upon hearing Xu Yin’s words, Zhu Zhu Chi acted as if there was someone fighting with him. He immediately grabbed his chopsticks and started eating, not bothering to eat at all.
Looking at the pillar, Yu Lingling and Xu Yin immediately laughed out loud. The pillar looked at the two of them in confusion. After half a day of no results, it continued to struggle with its dishes.
