Seeing that Shen Qian had agreed to stay for dinner so happily, a look of surprise flashed on Xiao Qi's face, but it quickly disappeared.

"Little Brother Jiu, then let's go now." Xiao Qi got up and said.

It wasn't so much that Shen Qian wanted to see the threshing floor full of wheat, but that Xiao Qi was anxious to see it. Today, I was in class in Nianyuan, and I didn't participate in the wheat harvest in person, which is a pity for Xiao Qi.

"Man'er, let's go together." Shen Qian finished drinking the sour plum soup, he didn't look in a hurry, and wanted to ask Lian Man'er to go with him.

Lian Man'er had already gone to the threshing floor countless times today, and she really didn't want to go again at this time.

"You and Xiao Qi go play by yourself." Lian Man'er said, "Be careful, take a look and come back." I'll help my mother cook. Little Brother Jiu, what do you want to eat?"

"Everything is good, the food you cook must be delicious." Shen Qian smiled.

"Little Brother Jiu." Xiao Qi urged Shen Qian again.

Only then did Shen Qian get up and go out with Xiao Qi. Lian Shouxin knew that Shen Qian was coming, so he hurriedly brought someone over and carefully accompanied Shen Qian to the threshing floor.

Lian Man'er discussed the dinner with Zhang and Lian Zhi'er.

"The ninth master is here, this meal has to be made sumptuously. Otherwise, just get a pot. Zhang said.

In the middle of summer, it is not very suitable to eat hot pot, as long as you think about the hot charcoal on the table, you feel hot.

"Mother, don't make a pot, it's too hot, make more light food." Lian Man'er said.

"That'll do fine." Zhang nodded.

The three of them discussed for a while and decided on the menu for dinner, Lian Zhi'er still stayed in the backyard to do needlework, Zhang and Lian Man'er both went to the front yard, and the two of them cooked in person and made a sumptuous meal with Han Zhong's daughter-in-law.

Lian Man'er only made two light side dishes and came out of the kitchen. In the cross-courtyard, I heard the cheerful barking of the big fat and the second fat dog on the other side of the main courtyard. Lian Man'er explained a few words to the Zhang family, and returned to the main courtyard through the Moon Gate.

"Sister/Man'er." Shen Qian and Xiao Qi were amusing Big Fat and Second Fat at the door of the study, and when they saw Lian Man'er coming, they all greeted with a smile.

"You'll be back this moment?" Lian Man'er asked with a smile.

When the big fat and the second fat saw Lian Man'er, they gave up Xiao Qi and Shen Qian, and ran to Lian Man'er with their tails wagged, while circling around her, they raised their heads and begged to be touched.

Lian Man'er stretched out her hand and rubbed the heads of the big and second fat. The two wolfdogs were now fully grown, half a man tall, and because of their good food, not only were they stout, their heads were like those of a little piglet, and their fur was as smooth as if they were fine silk.

"Sister, Brother Xiao Jiu said that he has a hunting mastiff at home, if we like it, when we have a puppy, we will give us two." Xiao Qi said to Lian Man'er.

"Really?" Lian Man'er looked at Shen Qian with a smile.

The sun was setting in the west, and Lian Man'er stood in the backlight, Shen Qian faced her, squinting his eyes slightly in the sun.

"Of course it's true, Man'er, if you like it, I'll pick the best one for you." Shen Qian said with a smile.

"That's a hunting mastiff in your house, what are we going to do? It's too big to use to look after the house. Big fat and second fat like this, it's good. Lian Man'er laughed while rubbing the fat heads of the big fat and the second fat again.

The two big fat dogs grinned and stuck out their tongues and seemed to be smiling happily.

"Don't stand here, the sun is also shining, sit in the house." Lian Man'er saw that Xiao Qi and Shen Qian's faces were flushed, so she said.

The three of them entered the study together, and Xiaoxi and Xiaoqing hurriedly brought in a cold sour plum soup and a plate of fresh fruits.

"Do your homework, and wait a while before eating." Lian Man'er said to Shen Qian and Xiao Qidao.

"Sister, let me rest for a while. I don't have much homework today, so I'll be able to do it again after eating. Xiao Qi said.

Lian Man'er went to see Shen Qian, she knew that Shen Qian had a lot of homework.

"It's okay, it's too late when I go back to Nianyuan to do it." Shen Qian said, "Man'er, let's play chess." ”

"What kind of chess?" Lian Man'er laughed.

"Let's play Go, the fifth sister said that your Go is good, let me learn from you." Shen Qian immediately said, a pair of fox eyes sparkling, "Man'er, you won't be unwilling to teach me." ”

"You still use me to teach?" Lian Man'er laughed.

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, the piano is still a trivial matter, and the other three should have been learned by Shen Qian since childhood. I also know that Shen Jin's education in this area is not bad, let alone Shen Qian.

"Why not, I'm stupid when I play chess." Shen Qian said, his tone full of expectation. "Man'er, don't dislike me."

"When you say that, I have nothing to say." Lian Man'er said, while really taking out the chess pieces, "If you let me know in the future, you are laughing at me, but you are good-looking." ”

"Penalties are arbitrary." Shen Qian is as good as a stream.

A few people sat on the kang, Lian Man'er sat on one side of the kang table, Shen Qian and Xiao Qi sat on the other side, and really played chess. Shen Qian just said that he wanted to learn chess with Lian Man'er, and he really sat down, but he was dedicated to two things, and most of his mind was spent talking to Lian Man'er.

“…… Xiao Qi said that if you want to thresh wheat, you have to go through a lot of processes, which sounds interesting to me. Man'er, I want to come and see. Shen Qian held a chess piece in his hand, as if he was thinking about where to play, but he asked.

"Come when you're free." Lian Man'er said, "It's nothing to look at, be careful of the dirt on your head and face." …… Oh, by the way, Mr. Chu has to grant you leave. ”

Lian Man'er's last sentence seemed to talk about Shen Qian's sore spot, the chess piece in his hand fell, and Lian Man'er was immediately eaten a large piece.

"Ah......h

"Little Brother Jiu, I told you that you can't fall there, hey......" Xiao Qi also covered his face and sighed.

"No regrets." Lian Man'er laughed.

"I originally thought that I could be loose and loose in Nianyuan, who knows ......, there are still two years left in the next subject, so how can I use it like this." Shen Qian complained twice, then secretly looked at Lian Man'er's face, and suddenly straightened his sitting posture, and his face became serious. “…… The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work their minds and suffer their bodies and skin......"

"Sixth Brother and Mr. Chu are so strict, in the final analysis, it is all for my good. I knew in my heart that I would definitely work harder. Shen Qian concluded.

"Brother Xiao Jiu is already very good at learning now, I don't understand something, ask Brother Xiao Jiu, and Brother Xiao Jiu can explain it to me." Xiao Qi said on the side.

"Xiao Qi, then you have to learn from Xiao Jiu." Lian Man'er said.

"Well, sister, you can rest assured."

The three of them laughed constantly, and time flew by, and the girl Xiaoxi came over and told Lian Man'er that the meal was ready, and that it would be ready to eat immediately.

Lian Man'er glanced outside, and saw that Shi Chen had put down the chess pieces in his hand early.

"Let's eat, you two should be hungry after a tired day." Lian Man'er said.

Shen Qian and Xiao Qi both nodded.

"By the way, you are eating here, have you sent someone to deliver a letter to the fifth sister?" Lian Man'er suddenly thought of something, so she asked Shen Qiandao.

"I've sent someone back to say it." Shen Qian said.

"That's good." Lian Man'er nodded.

Lian Man'er got up and asked people to bring water over to serve Shen Qian and Xiao Qi to wash, while she walked to the front hall first and helped Zhang and Lian Zhi'er set up the table.

The dishes for dinner are extremely sumptuous, in addition to Han Zhong's daughter-in-law's signature meals, there are also dishes that Zhang and Lian Man'er learned from the food list, all of which are very light and delicious, as well as a few small snacks pumpkin pie, fresh fish balls, shrimp dumplings, and steamed buns with tofu skin and mushroom three fresh fillings are also very exquisite.

Because Shen Qian praised the delicious dim sum, the family was very happy. Lian Man'er also asked people to pack a food box and send it to Nian Yuan for Shen Jin, and prepared another food box, packed a few small snacks, and handed them to the little girl who followed Shen Qian, which was left for Shen Qian to make supper at night.

After eating, Shen Qian didn't leave, but sat in the courtyard with Lian Man'er's family, drinking tea, and talking. It wasn't until the sky was dark that Shen Jin sent someone to pick it up, and Shen Qian reluctantly left.

……

Lian Man'er originally agreed, saying that she would go to the garden the next day, but because there were many things at home, it was delayed.

When the wheat is harvested, it must be dried, threshed, and properly stored, and the ground should be cleaned up, manure should be applied, and soybeans should be planted in the second crop. Lian Shouxin mainly takes people to work in the fields, and the affairs of the family fall on Lian Man'er.

By the time things were almost sorted out, it was already a few days before Lian Man'er came to Nian Yuan again.

I haven't seen each other for a few days, Shen Jin and Lian Man'er are very affectionate.

Lian Man'er not only brought fresh cattle and fresh fruits to Shen Jin this time, but also brought a bag of white noodles.

“…… It's freshly harvested wheat, which was specially picked out and dried first, and ground in my sister's mill. I made a meal of noodles at home and tasted them, no worse than the best white noodles I bought at the grain store. Lian Man'er told Shen Jin, "I've sent some to you, and I've already sent them to the kitchen." Let them make it for you and Little Brother Jiu to taste. This new wheat flour is fragrant. ”

"I've also heard people say that new rice and new noodles have a unique fragrance. I also heard that the unscrupulous merchants actually sold Chen rice and Chen noodles as new. Shen Jin smiled.

"It's rare that the fifth sister still knows this." Lian Man'er said.

"I don't really know, but I just listen to the people below. If I had to discern, I wouldn't be able to. Shen Jindao.

"Fifth sister, how can you distinguish this, that's the duty of the person they buy. We are a family of Zhuang households, and we have been in this environment since we were children, and we don't know it. Lian Man'er smiled.

"Duty...... Shen Jin said in a low voice, and asked Lian Man'er again, "Why haven't you been here for the past few days, you really can't get out of it." You're a girl's house, and you can't live without you?"

Lian Man'er smiled and explained the situation at home to Shen Jin.

"My brother isn't at home, so I have to do more." Lian Man'er said, "I can't say that I can't leave anyone." Without my efforts, the family would be the same, and with my efforts, the family would be able to live a better life. I am a day in this family, so I naturally have to contribute to this family for a day. ”

Lian Man'er's voice did not fall, but Shen Jin was stunned. (To be continued)
