Chapter 260: Sleeping together, four people's joint model
Starting from the third day in the countryside, Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu gradually adapted to life here.

You can get up early in the morning to go for a morning run, or you can sleep until you wake up naturally.

In the afternoon, I would play mahjong with Lin Xiuhong, or go fishing with Li Luo, and occasionally meet Li Guohong and Ying Zhicheng.

At night, Li Luo took them to the fish pond to set off fireworks.

When they were bored, they would go to their uncle's house next door to borrow the pool table. Li Luo taught the three of them how to play billiards.

Xu Youyu, who had a shock-absorbing aid, was obviously the one who learned the fastest.

Ying Chanxi didn't know what was going on, but this time he became almost as stupid as Yan Zhusheng. He could never learn anything and needed Li Luo to teach him all the time.

On the nights of the fifth and sixth days of the Lunar New Year, perhaps thanks to Ying Chanxi's mastery of the Iron Chain Magic Skill, Yan Zhusheng never attacked Li Luo at night again.

Because Xu Youyu was busy typing, no one came to disturb him every day.

After playing like this for a few days, time finally arrived at the seventh day of the New Year.

Another night and tomorrow they will go back to the city.

There are only three or four days left before the No. 1 Middle School starts school.

“It feels like time has passed so quickly.”

Next to the pool table on the first floor of his uncle's house next door, Xu Youyu leaned down, lightly placed his chest on the pool table, and then poked the cue in his hand straight out, hitting the butt of the white ball and hitting the number three ball out.

Unfortunately, it was a little crooked and didn’t go in.

"I'm going back tomorrow." Xu Youyu sighed, feeling a little lost. He felt that the days here were quite interesting.

Anyway, it's much more interesting than lying at home all day during the New Year and being nagged by my mother.

Ying Chanxi looked at Xu Youyu, then at Yan Zhusheng, pursed his lips, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Play for a while longer, then go back and make dumplings with my mom." Li Luo stood aside holding the golf club, raised his chin, motioned Yan Zhusheng to play, and then said, "We'll have dumplings and glutinous rice balls tonight."

Yan Zhusheng walked to the pool table, looked here and there, then turned to look at Li Luo.

"Hit this one." Li Luo pointed at ball number 10, "Isn't this right in front of me?"

"I can't hit it accurately." Yan Zhusheng blinked, and the meaning was very clear.

Li Luo had no choice but to let go of the club in his hand, walked to Yan Zhusheng, pressed her back and asked her to bend down: "Hold the club with your left hand like this, and keep your right elbow in the same plane with the club. Don't tilt it, right."

Li Luo taught her how to hold the club step by step, but Yan Zhusheng still found it a little unsteady. In the end, Li Luo held Yan Zhusheng's hand and helped her hit the ball.

The number ten ball was hit steadily into the pocket.

So Yan Zhusheng looked at the pool table and then at Li Luo.

Li Luo was speechless: "I'll teach you again this time, and you can do it yourself this time."

"Oh."

We played billiards until around three in the afternoon, and then Lin Xiuhong from next door came to call for help.

Li Luo took the three girls back to the next room and followed Lin Xiuhong into the kitchen.

Lin Xiuhong had already prepared two kinds of dumpling fillings and said with a smile, "This one has pork and leek filling, and the other one has three fresh fillings."

"Li Luo, come help me pinch the balls, I'll roll out the dough, and you three can make the dumplings."

"Have you ever made dumplings?"

Ying Chanxi nodded. She had made dumplings with Lin Xiuhong more than once during the Chinese New Year in the past and had rich experience.

Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu shook their heads, obviously having never tried it.

So Lin Xiuhong pinched two small balls from the dough nearby, rolled them into palm-sized pancakes with a rolling pin, picked up the spoon in the filling bowl, scooped a spoonful and put it in the middle of the pancake, then moved closer to show Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu.

"Like this, dip your fingers in a little water, then pinch the edge, twist it a little bit towards this side, and slowly close it."

Lin Xiuhong slowly demonstrated the technique to them both.

Li Luo next to him pinched off a large piece of the dough, rolled it into a long strip, and then used his thumb to pinch off a small ball and put it on the chopping board.

After Lin Xiuhong finished the demonstration, she picked up the rolling pin and rolled the small balls that Li Luo had pulled out into dough pancakes one by one, then handed them to Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu: "Come on, you two try it too."

Although Xu Youyu had never made dumplings himself, he had seen his grandmother make dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Even though he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run.

After just a few attempts, I slowly grasped the essence of it.

And Yan Zhusheng is indeed a bit clumsy in this regard.

Although it could be closed barely, it didn't look like a dumpling at all. Its shapes were all so strange and weird that everyone couldn't help laughing.

Yan Zhusheng looked at Li Luo with an innocent face. This time she was not pretending. After all, as far as she could remember, she had never tasted dumplings in her life.

Not to mention making dumplings.

"It's okay, it's just a little weird in shape, they all taste the same when you eat them." Li Luo laughed and said, "Your buns are unique, and when you cook them, you'll be able to tell which one you made at a glance."

After the division of labor was clear, five people squeezed into the kitchen, one person pinched the dough, one person rolled out the dough, and three people made dumplings.

Because there are quite a lot of Li family members, even though Li Luo's second aunt and Chen Lu left yesterday because they had to go back to work early, there are still about seventeen or eighteen people here.

Even if they had some rice dumplings ready to go and cooked them together in the evening, they would have to make about 200 dumplings.

Li Luo and Lin Xiuhong rolled out the dough very quickly. After rolling a whole ball of dough into pancakes, there were still dozens of pancakes left on the chopping board.

So Li Luo and Lin Xiuhong also joined the dumpling-making army and successfully completed the task before six o'clock in the evening.

After the task was completed, Lin Xiuhong looked at the full field of dumplings in front of her and an expression of satisfaction immediately appeared on her face.

She looked around, at Ying Chanxi, at Yan Zhusheng, and then at Xu Youyu. Seeing that the three of them were wearing the scarves she had given them around their necks, she couldn't help but have some thoughts in her mind. It was really confusing and difficult.

Every one of them is likable.

Ying Chanxi has been with her since she was a child. Lin Xiuhong watched her grow up. Since Ying Chanxi's mother passed away and Ying Zhicheng was busy with work, it was almost always Lin Xiuhong who took care of Ying Chanxi.

It’s no exaggeration to say that she is half a mother.

Many times, she treated Ying Chanxi as her own daughter.

After spending the past few days with them, she also likes Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu. Yan Zhusheng looks well-behaved, has a simple and innocent personality, speaks straightforwardly and naively, sings well, and is lovable just by looking at her.

Xu Youyu, on the other hand, is playful and cheerful. His words and actions make people feel warm and relaxed. Apart from his bad habit of sleeping in, there is nothing wrong with him. His figure is very attractive.

So Lin Xiuhong looked at the boy Li Luo next to her and couldn't help but sigh, wondering what kind of luck this guy had in his previous life to meet three such lovely and outstanding girls.

However, since the children are only in high school, Lin Xiuhong doesn't have to worry about Li Luo. She just feels this way because she sees that all three girls like each other and imagines some beautiful scenes in the future.

It’s hard to say what will happen in the future.

There's no point worrying about these things now.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuhong also waved her hand and said to them, "Wash your hands and go out and wait. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

After washing his hands, Li Luo stretched, walked out of the kitchen to the living room, and sat down on the sofa.

Xu Youyu was the second one to come out. He sighed contentedly, "I have some new material. I will write it in the book tomorrow."

"You really just take it and use it as you go." Li Luo said with a smile.

He also read the latest chapter written by Xu Youyu these two days.

Unlike Li Luo who has more than 200,000 words of manuscripts in reserve.

Xu Youyu had used up his 10,000-word manuscript on the third day of junior high school, and all the rest was written and published immediately.

Then Li Luo discovered that Xu Youyu really wrote whatever he thought of.

It just so happened that she recently wrote about the daily transition plot of the heroine following the hero back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year.

If it were in the past, I would have just written two or three chapters and then jumped back to the main storyline.

But Xu Youyu has written seven or eight chapters about the plot in the protagonist's hometown in the past few days, and it is so detailed and interesting.

The key is that it is real and detailed, and also a bit exciting. Many contents have been changed, and the male and female protagonists even secretly do bad things in the corridor.

It was clearly just Li Luo being pushed against the wall, but they wrote it as a thrilling battle, which left Li Luo stunned.

Readers are also happy to see this kind of driving plot, which serves as a diversion from the main plot, and the performance of Xu Youyu's book is also rising.

Previously, with the help of Li Luozhang's promotion, "Literary Age" has already entered the ranks of high-quality works.

Now, almost two months have passed, and her average subscription has quickly climbed to the threshold of 5000.

As the word count gradually reached more than 900,000 and was about to break the one million mark, the reputation of "Literary Age" finally spread among the readers.

Coupled with the daily details that are more delicate and informative than in the previous life, this reputation has been taken to a new level.

In Li Luo's impression, the reputation of "Literary Age" should have slowly started to ferment after it exceeded one million words and had enough words.

By the middle of 2015, it had barely broken through the threshold of high-quality products.

After that, because of the large number of words, even though more and more people read it, the increase in scores remained stable within this range.

It was not until mid-2016, when the book was about to be completed, that the average subscription just broke through the mark.

But the current situation is completely different from the previous life.

Under Li Luo's influence, Xu Youyu's writing not only got better and better, but his achievements also far exceeded the level of his contemporaries in his previous life.

It’s not even March 2015 yet, but the average subscription has already exceeded 3. Perhaps within this year, it will be just around the corner to break the threshold of 5000 average subscriptions.

However, the two of them only chatted for a few words. After Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi came out after washing their hands, they tacitly stopped talking.

After eating dumplings and rice balls in the evening and playing mahjong with Lin Xiuhong for the last time this year, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Lin Xiuhong yawned and went upstairs first.

Li Luo followed behind, but when he returned to the third floor, he found that in addition to Xu Youyu, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng were also following behind.

"Why are you two following me? Aren't you going home?"

"It's the last day." Ying Chanxi pursed her lips, "How about...staying up late and watching a movie?"

Yan Zhusheng nodded: "Let's watch a movie."

Li Luo curled the corner of his mouth, then looked at Xu Youyu.

Xu Youyu also looked at him, then smiled and leaned close to Li Luo's ear, whispering, "I've already sent out my request for leave."

Li Luo was speechless and sighed: "...Okay, okay, come in, four people can't watch a movie, let's just play poker."

"Zhu Sheng, go downstairs and get some playing cards, and grab some snacks like sunflower seeds from the coffee table."

"Xixi, go to the kitchen and wash some fruit."

"Senior, come with me and clean up and prepare the house."

Finish explaining your respective tasks.

Smiles suddenly appeared on the faces of the three girls, and they immediately took action.

Those who take poker cards take poker cards, and those who wash fruit wash fruit.

Xu Youyu followed Li Luo and saw him take out a cool mat from the cabinet and spread it on the floor beside the bed. He immediately asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"My single bed is too crowded for four people to sit on. It should be enough to spread a bed on the floor here."

As he said this, Li Luo had already arrived at Xu Youyu's bedroom, and directly pulled over her mattress, quilt, and pillow, and placed them directly on the prepared mat.

After seeing the mat in front of him was finished, Li Luo clapped his hands in satisfaction, then laughed and said, "Anyway, I guess you three are not planning to go home tonight, so let me make your beds first."

Xu Youyu couldn't help laughing when watching this scene, and then smiled charmingly at him: "Then which one do you plan to choose to accompany you tonight?"

"…Anyway, it's not you."

"That really makes me sad. Sir, you have to compensate me."

"Hey...wait..."

"It's okay. They haven't come up yet. Just a moment."
