Chapter 72 Her Illness Seems to Be Very Serious?

Zheng Chengbao is a sister-con. He smiled when he heard his sister's voice. He boasted to Gu Changfeng with a proud face, as if his sister was the only one in the world who cooked delicious food, and other people's food was inedible.

"Really? Then I am in luck?"

Gu Changfeng smiled lightly on his icy face. He really wanted to know how delicious Zheng Xinyue's food was.

Zheng Xinyue had opened the door of the warehouse and walked in with a basin. The cellar was more than one meter deep, and there was a ladder inside. If she wanted to get potatoes, she had to go down the ladder. She was actually afraid of the dark, but she was worried about the children going down, so she had to go down by herself.

Most of the potatoes were picked after the autumn harvest. The team didn't want them anymore, so the members went to the fields to pick potatoes themselves, so don't expect to get big ones. Those as big as a small table tennis ball were taken back as treasures.

Zheng Xinyue picked up a small basin of potatoes in the dark, and put a carrot into the basin. It was a bit difficult to carry the basin and climb the ladder. Someone had to catch her when she went up.

"Changfeng, come sit in the house, I'll pick some cucumbers for you." Zheng Xinyue heard the bold voice of her third brother outside the cellar, and hurriedly looked up and shouted. "Third brother, third brother, pick me up."

"Little sister, where are you?"

Zheng Chengbao scolded Zheng Xinyue and found the warehouse. His face changed a little. Xinyue was most afraid of the dark. Could she have gone down to the cellar?

"I'm in the cellar, third brother, help me catch it."

"Aren't you most afraid of the dark? Forgot your illness?"

Zheng Chengbao was so anxious that he forgot about Gu Changfeng, and blurted out his caring words.

Gu Changfeng frowned slightly. She didn't look sick, but from Zheng Chengbao's nervous tone, her illness seemed to be very serious?

Zheng Xinyue climbed out of the cellar with the help of her third brother. She had claustrophobia, and staying alone in the dark was really a tormenting thing.

"Little sister, how are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Zheng Chengbao ignored the half basin of potatoes, and asked the pale little sister nervously.

"It's fine, but it's a little dark down there. I'll bring a kerosene lamp down next time."

Zheng Xinyue rubbed the goose bumps on her arms, and joked with her third brother with a smile. She was not afraid when there was light.

"No next time, don't go into the cellar again."

Zheng Chengbao glared at his little sister and ordered her. It was the first time he used an imperative tone to scold his sister.

"Got it."

Zheng Xinyue looked at her third brother's nervous look, and was very moved. She smiled and agreed to him.

When the brother and sister walked out of the warehouse, Zheng Xinyue felt the gaze from Gu Changfeng, and smiled awkwardly at him. Did he see her embarrassment just now?

"Third brother, you accompany Director Gu into the house to drink water, I will go to cook."

In order to avoid his inquiring eyes, Zheng Xinyue simply gave the third brother a task.

"I'll light the stove for you."

Zheng Chengbao was reluctant to let his sister do these hard work, so he turned around and walked out the door, forgetting Gu Changfeng and his two comrades.

"Please come in." Zheng Xinyue had to take on the responsibility of being the host and let Gu Changfeng and the two comrades in.

"I don't have any tea at home, sorry to treat you comrades, drink some cold boiled water to quench your thirst first?"

Zheng Xinyue let them go to the east room and explained to Gu Changfeng awkwardly.

It's good to have enough food in the countryside, who has the spare money to buy tea? Even the worst broken tea has to be bought with money, so it's better to buy some salt and soy sauce, which are just needed.

Gu Changfeng looked around Zheng Xinyue's house. When he heard Zheng Xinyue's polite words, he looked at her with his deep eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a deep voice from his thin lips: "It's okay, as long as there is water to drink."
