379 Don’t Call Me Out!
Xue Yan’s heart skipped a beat.
As expected, Sifu was not so easy to deceive. Moreover, it was a little deliberate to hide it, and Jiang Yue probably knew that she had been exposed.
Sifu was smart, there was no way he wouldn’t know.
Thus, Xue Yan could only bite the bullet and whisper to Xue Sifu, “Actually, I wanted to try this idea.”
!!
Xue Sifu didn’t wait for him to finish and immediately chuckled, “I knew it was you who made Jiang Yue do this! Tell me, do you know how to preserve ice or something?”
Without waiting for him to speak, Xue Sifu whispered, “But why did you make Jiang Yue do this? Why didn’t you just tell me directly? It’s not like I don’t know how much you have in your head. You’re the only one who has finished reading all the books in Sheng Ming Academy and even remembered them all. You must have read a lot in your teacher’s house too, right? I’m sure you’ve heard a lot of strange things.”
Xue Yan could only bite the bullet, “I’m afraid you’ll say I’m st*pid.”
“Why? Silly boy! Hahaha!”
Xue Yan continued, “The method of keeping the ice from melting for a long time is a little silly. It was something I heard from a classmate in town when I was studying. That classmate also said it as a joke, and no one believed it. My classmate didn’t believe it either. He said that he heard it from an old man while he was traveling and resting. At that time, he even laughed at the old man for lying to him, saying that because he looked like a child, people would want to trick him. I thought of this when we were thinking about it just now. So I needed Jiang Yue to help verify if this method is useful or not.”
“What method is it?!” Xue Sifu suppressed his voice and became even more interested.
“To just cover it with a quilt,” Xue Yan said after a moment of silence.
“What?” Xue Sifu thought he had heard wrong.
“I told you, you would definitely call me st*pid.”
“Hahaha!” Xue Sifu laughed in a low voice, his shoulders shaking, “No, no, I was just surprised… But since someone said so, it’s worth a try,” he said seriously. Then, he laughed.
“That makes sense. No wonder you wanted to cover up and let Jiang Yue do it. This method sounds really st*pid. Wouldn’t it make the ice melt faster by covering it with a blanket?”
Seeing his Sifu like this, Xue Yan secretly let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
Alright, Sifu’s matter was settled.
“What are you two whispering about?” Yu Hongyan asked with a smile.
“Do I need to whisper too, Xue Yan?” Xue Sifu smiled and stood up. He had bent down to whisper to his brother.
“Xue Yan wants to eat ice. Come, let’s smash a small pot of ice to eat. We haven’t even eaten ice in summer.”
When Liu Guixia heard that they were going to eat the ice, she hurriedly called out to Xue Yifu, who was making a pot under the shed, “Yifu! Hurry up and come in!!”
She then called out to Li Hehua, “Hehua! Hongyan! Are you and Jiang Yue done? If you’ve hidden it well, then quickly bring Jiang Yue back!”
No one else in the house was at home, so she didn’t call for the one who was building the courtyard wall in the workshop on the mountain.
After shouting, Liu Guixia quickly went to get the bowl and spoon.
When Liu Guixia brought the bowl and spoon to the central room, Li Hehua also came with Jiang Yue and said happily, “Mother, do you know where Jiang Yue hid the ice? Aiyo, my stomach is about to hurt again. She turned her blanket over and hid it under the blanket! Her mother said that if there’s anything good, you should hide it in the blanket, and she said ice is a good thing! Hahaha!”
