Come out of the house.

Li Yang took four eggs from the thorn basket and planned to let Qin Jingru fry them.

He ran to the countryside at the end of his adult life. In addition to corn noodles, there is no shortage of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the kitchen here.

"Omelette? That will take a lot of oil. How about we cook a poached egg?" Qin Jingru pursed her lips and took the egg, a little reluctant to part with it.

Li Yang waved his hand and said: "Just fry it, use a wide amount of oil, don't use too much heat, otherwise it will lose its flavor when fried."

As he said that, he took out a covered earthenware jar from the cupboard, which was filled with lard.

Li Yang opened the lid and handed it under Qin Jingru's eyes: "Look, there are many young and old."

"It smells so good!" Qin Jingru leaned over and sniffed, making a rumble in her throat.

"It's been a long time since I've touched eggs, and it's been a long time since I've smelled the oily smell!"

She knocked four eggs into the bowl, turned her head, and looked at Li Yang longingly.

Li Yang smiled: "Then you can eat freely today. I'll eat one and you eat three. How about that?"

"That won't work. You have to eat two of them anyway, or I won't eat either." Qin Jingru shook her head like a rattle, refusing to do anything.

Li Yang didn't argue with her and nodded in agreement.

Qin Jingru pursed her lips and smiled, then asked: "Are there any unwashed clothes at home? After dinner, I will bring my hands to rub them for you."

"No, there are still a lot of dirty clothes left unwashed in the city." Li Yang shook his head.

Qin Jingru blinked and tested him with a smile: "How about I go to the city to help you wash it? It's such a winter, you are a big man, I'm afraid you won't be able to wash it properly, right?"

Li Yang waved his hand: "It's better to pull them down. Someone will help me lay out my clothes."

"There is a guy named Shazhu in our courtyard. He has a girl who is in high school. Every time I change my clothes, she will wash them for me when she has time. She can't stop her even if she wants to."

"Silly Zhu?" Qin Jingru muttered while tilting her head, and then said anxiously, "Is that girl of his interested in you? Why should I wash your clothes for you?"

Li Yang didn't answer, and asked with a smile: "Why, you want to take care of my affairs before we even walk through the door?"

"No, no, don't think about it blindly. I just think it won't sound good if a big girl washes your clothes for you." Qin Jingru was waving her hands around, her face turned red with anxiety.

Seeing Li Yang staring at her with a half-smile but not a smile, Qin Jingru's ears felt hot, and she knew in her heart that she was inseparable from that girl.

She quickly turned around, blushed, bit her lip and whispered, "I'm going to work first. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

Li Yang smiled, stopped teasing her, left the kitchen and walked to the yard with his hands behind his back.
