Chapter 9 Preparation before hiking in the mountains
After coming out of Aunt Zhao's house, Zhang Hao turned around and walked along the muddy path in front of him towards the east end of the village.
The east end of the village is where you can buy farm tools in the village.
He needs to go there and buy a handy invasion knife.
After that, we have to go to the Ming shop at the south end of the village to buy things for worship.
……
After an hour of busy work, Zhang Hao returned home with the purchased things.
The sun is shining brightly and the sun is scorching.
It is indeed a nice sunny day today.
After checking the time, it was only about ten in the morning.
Li Siyu is working in the fields, and it will be some time before she comes back.
Zhang Hao unhurriedly put everything in the ear room, turned around and walked to the yard, rolled up his sleeves, picked up tools, and continued to clean up other rooms in the house.
Yesterday, he only cleaned up the main room and the wing room, while Li Siyu cleaned up the kitchen.
Today's task is to renovate the other rooms in the three courtyards and the small courtyard.
Looking at this huge courtyard and so many rooms, Zhang Hao sighed from the bottom of his heart.
It is indeed too wasteful for two people to live in this three-in-one courtyard.
After all, judging from the current situation, only two rooms are needed for sleeping, and the rest of the rooms are empty.
But no matter what, this is an ancestral property, the only thing left to me by my father.
He can't sell the house anymore, that would be really treasonous.
Without thinking too much, Zhang Hao grabbed the tools, turned around and entered the side room, and started to clean up.
……
call.
After putting the collected garbage into a woven bag, Zhang Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the clothes he had just changed and looked dirty again, and shook his head helplessly.
At this time, he heard movement at the door and immediately followed the sound. He saw that Li Siyu was not wearing ancient Hanfu, but had put on ordinary coarse clothes. He was holding the previous vegetable basket with one hand. Inside the basket was picking food. fresh vegetables.
"Back." Zhang Hao smiled: "Didn't you take a video today?"
Li Siyu is a self-media blogger. He wears simple ancient Hanfu every day and takes videos of working in the fields, digging wild vegetables in the mountains, and cooking.
It has been in a tepid state and currently has less than 100,000 fans.
However, Zhang Hao knows that in just two years, Li Siyu's self-media account will attract more attention, his popularity will gradually increase, and his career will reach an upward stage.
In the following years, Li Siyu quickly became the number one ancient style goddess on the Internet by shooting videos. Even some overseas short video platforms have tens of millions of fans.
That was the peak of her career.
But it was at the peak of his career that Li Siyu fell ill and could not afford it, and left this world not long after.
Every time he thought about it, Zhang Hao felt it was a pity but also hateful.
It is a pity that Li Siyu had a great life, but died young.
The regretful thing is that I was too useless, failed to cherish her, and failed to help her.
However, now everything can be done again, and I have got rid of the trouble of depression, and there is still room for redemption.
Li Siyu shook his head and said: "No, I'm going to cook first. You... you can take a rest first. You can clean up in the afternoon."
After saying that, she turned around ably and walked into the kitchen and started busy.
Zhang Hao still had a smile on his face and followed her all the way into the kitchen.
Looking at the figure washing vegetables and preparing lunch quickly, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to put away the food without taking a rest.
……
Had lunch. Li Siyu returned to the main room to rest, but Zhang Hao did not go to rest. Instead, he stood in the yard, raising his hands to block the dazzling sunlight in front of his eyes, squinting and looking up at the sky.
It's the hottest time of the day.
Even if he stood here without moving, he could feel the sweat all over his body being discharged uncontrollably.
It is said in ancient books that the hottest time of the day is the best time to temper the body, which can help the body better discharge impurities and toxins, and keep the body in a good condition.
Regarding becoming a mountain walker, he is most worried about physical factors.
After all, his current body is not as good as Li Siyu's. If he goes hiking in the mountains with such a body, he really doesn't know if he can walk back.
Therefore, while Gulinglan and straw sandals were being made, he wanted to seize the time to improve his physical fitness.
Although there is no use in cramming, especially when it comes to improving physical fitness, a little improvement is an improvement, and it is always beneficial.
Zhang Hao did not hesitate, and quickly took the time to recall the body tempering methods recorded in ancient books, and began to practice them not so skillfully.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Zhang Hao felt that all the pores in his body were completely opened, and the clothes on his body were soaked with sweat several times. He panted heavily, stood still, and ended the practice.
He took a towel and wiped the sweat on his face, turned his head slightly, and happened to see Li Siyu standing at the door of the main room, looking at him with doubtful eyes.
"Get up." Zhang Hao smiled.
Li Siyu came back to her senses and nodded lightly: "Well, I'm going to the fields first."
After saying that, she carried the vegetable basket and picked up the shovel placed aside. When passing Zhang Hao, she paused and asked softly: "Is there anything you want to eat tonight?"
"As long as you do it, you can do it." Zhang Hao didn't shy away.
Li Siyu was stunned for a moment, his eyes averting to the side, as if muttering to himself: "Then let's have chicken soup tonight."
Then, he raised his steps and walked towards the door without looking back.
"Well, then I'll wait for you to come back." Zhang Hao looked at her gradually leaving, the smile on his lips never shrinking.
Judging from today, it seems that Li Siyu's impression of him has changed somewhat.
At least, it no longer feels as cold as before.
This is a huge improvement!
As long as Li Siyu can keep seeing his changes, one day, Li Siyu will completely change his impression of him.
At that time, it will not only be because of the agreement with dad, but also to repay the favor with him.
When he relives this life, he hopes that Li Siyu can sincerely marry him without considering any other factors, instead of still being bound by the agreement with his father and having to marry him.
There is an essential difference between the two.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao withdrew his gaze.
These are not within the scope of his consideration for the time being. The most important thing to do now is to prepare for walking in the mountains.
After taking a short rest, watching the sun in the sky gradually tilt toward the west, and feeling that the air was no longer so poisonous, he took off his shirt, picked up his tools, and walked into the other wing.
……
As night fell, the starry sky shrouded the dome.
In the living room of the main house, warm and soft light dispels the darkness.
On the dining table, on the not-so-exquisite plate, the fried fresh vegetables are wrapped in lard and shiny, exuding a rich fragrance.
In the center of the table, in a large porcelain bowl, the surface is shiny with oil, the soup base is clear chicken soup, and evenly cut chicken is soaked in it.
Zhang Hao and Li Siyu sat opposite each other, with the dishes and chopsticks placed in front of them, still the same as last night.
"Let's eat. The food will be cold soon."
"Well, come on, drink more chicken soup to replenish your body."
