The work in the fields continues, the sun rises higher and higher in the blue sky, and the heat in the air gradually increases.

Lin Zichen straightened his waist, wiped the sweat on his face, and looked at the sun in the sky with his eyes slightly squinted.

Seeing that the sun in the sky had moved to the center, Lin Zichen said to Li Bangguo and the others: "Grandpa, grandma, it's not too early, I'll go back to the house to cook first." ”

The thin shirt on Li Bangguo's body was already wet and sticking to his body, and the sweat on his body was still raining. "Okay, Xiaoxi will go back with you, don't get sunburned." After saying that, he took off the hat on his head and put it in the paddy field to soak in water, and then put it back on his head.

Lin Zichen looked at Lin Zixi, who was also wet on the other end, and urged: "Xiaoxi, hurry up, let's go home first." ”

Lin Zixi put down the tools in his hand, followed behind his sister, and stepped on the narrow field path to prepare to go home.

Seeing this, Zhang Zicheng from the paddy field next door also said to his daughter: "Xiaojing, you can also go home first, heat the rice in the pot first, and wait for me to get the vegetables when I go back." ”

Zhang Zicheng's daughter Zhang Xiaojing nodded, packed up her things, and followed in the footsteps of Lin Zichen's sister and brother.

As soon as the three of them walked a few steps, Zhang Zicheng called out to Lin Zichen again, "Eh, Xiaochen, there are a lot of vegetables in your vegetable garden, can you let Sister Xiaojing pick some back?" ”

Lin Zichen didn't reply yet, but Li Yuedi, who was on the side, couldn't help but smile and said: "Zicheng, our vegetable garden is taken care of by our mother, don't tell us about the vegetables, but ask Xiaochen, did you get the wrong object?" ”

Zhang Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Hahaha, I don't know that what Xiao Chen said has a lot of weight in your family!" Telling her wasn't like telling your family. ”

At this time, Li Yuedi and the others were stunned, and they laughed when they reacted, Li Yuedi even laughed and scolded Zhang Zicheng for his flamboyant tongue, Zhang Zicheng smiled and took Li Yuedi's words as a compliment, which made everyone laugh.

Lin Zichen wanted to say something, but when he saw this scene, he understood that his grandmother had agreed to Zhang Zicheng's little request.

"Sister Xiaojing, let's go!" Lin Zichen said to Zhang Xiaojing with a smile.

Zhang Xiaojing is as famous as her name, she is really a quiet girl, she doesn't talk much and does things silently, and when she heard Lin Zichen's words, she nodded and continued to walk forward, never saying a word from beginning to end.

Zhang Zicheng and his daughter-in-law are both talkative, but the only daughter is like a stuffy gourd, and he is not scolded when he is angry.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaojing was also unfamiliar with Lin Zichen, Zhang Zicheng couldn't help but count: "Why are you so untalking, kid?" Your mother and I are both people who can talk, how did you give birth to such a stuffy gourd. ”

Zhang Xiaojing seems to be accustomed to Zhang Zicheng's nagging, and still walks without changing her face.

On the contrary, Lin Zichen couldn't help but say a few words to Zhang Zicheng: "Uncle Zhang, there is nothing wrong with girls being quiet, if Sister Xiaojing is really as talkative as you and your aunt, it is estimated that you will say why Sister Xiaojing can't stop screaming like a magpie all day long." ”

Lin Zichen's words touched Zhang Zicheng's heart, but he couldn't help but say a few words about his daughter, "It's okay for girls to be quiet, but isn't it suffocating people if you don't say a word all day?" ”

Zhang Zicheng's daughter-in-law Li Shu was not happy when she heard this, "How can you say that about your own daughter, who still has the strength to speak after a day's work." ”

His daughter-in-law spoke, Zhang Zicheng lowered his head and admitted his mistake, putting on a posture that his daughter-in-law's words are always right, and everyone who watched it was amazed.

Zhang Xiaojing was used to getting along with her parents like this, and seeing that Lin Zichen was still not leaving, she couldn't help but say, "Let's go, aren't you going back to cook?" ”

"Well, let's go!" Lin Zichen lost his eyes from Zhang Zicheng, and walked towards his vegetable garden with Zhang Xiaojing.

Lin Zichen asked Lin Zixi to go home first to change his clothes, and he took Zhang Xiaojing to the vegetable garden.

When the two came to the vegetable garden, Zhang Xiaojing was immediately fascinated by the green in her eyes, and her spirit suddenly lifted up, and she was full of energy.

"Your food grows so well!" Zhang Xiaojing sighed softly.

Lin Zichen smiled and said, "It's my grandmother who takes care of them well." You can pick whatever you want, you're welcome. ”

Zhang Xiaojing nodded silently, looked at the vegetables in the entire vegetable garden, and then walked towards the vegetable field he wanted.

Lin Zichen saw that Zhang Xiaojing was busy, and he also began to pick the vegetables he needed at noon.

The vegetables in the vegetable garden are growing pleasantly, and because Lin Zichen pours the spiritual spring of the space from time to time, all the vegetables have a little aura, which not only makes the dishes more delicious, but also makes the people close to the vegetable garden feel comfortable.

The people in the village can see that the Li family's dishes are growing well, and from time to time someone comes to ask for a return, Li Yuedi and others are very generous, and they almost do not refuse to come.

The dishes are delicious, Li Yuedi and others are generous, and people come to pick vegetables in the Li family's vegetable garden almost every day.

Li Yuedi and others are also used to it, anyway, there are many vegetables in the vegetable garden that their families can't eat, and they can be deeply loved by the people of Zhuangshang, and the Li family is also very happy.

Lin Zichen looked at the vegetables in the vegetable field while picking vegetables, and always felt that the vegetables in each vegetable field were a lot sparse.

"Xiao Chen, I've picked enough, do you need help?" Zhang Xiaojing put her dishes aside and asked Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I'm enough, let's go back together." ”

The two took the vegetables, Lin Zichen closed the wooden door of the vegetable garden, and then walked towards the river.

"Sister Xiaojing, are you still used to life in high school?"

Zhang Xiaojing is already in high school, one year lower than Li, but both of them are in Pinghe High School.

"It's fine!" Zhang Xiaojing replied softly.

Zhang Xiaojing doesn't like to talk, and Lin Zichen is not very familiar with it, so he was relatively speechless after saying a few words, quietly washing the dishes, and going home after washing the dishes.

"Xiaoxi, are you hungry?" As soon as he entered the house, Lin Zichen shouted at Lin Zixi in the house.

Lin Zixi covered her gurgling stomach and nodded: "I'm hungry." ”

"Here, here you go, pad your stomach first." Lin Zichen suddenly took out a big apple from behind him.

Lin Zixi saw the big apple that he hadn't eaten for a long time, and the saliva in his mouth was secreted at once, and he happily held the apple in the palm of his hand.

Lin Zichen was also very happy to see his younger brother so happy, but he couldn't help but remind: "Remember, this is the secret of the two of us!" ”

"Hmm!" Lin Zixi couldn't help nodding, took a bite of the apple and sent the apple to Lin Zichen's mouth.

Lin Zichen took a bite and stopped eating, "You can eat it yourself, my sister is going to cook." ”

"I'll help you." Lin Zixi followed Lin Zichen into the kitchen while nibbling on an apple.

Lin Zichen's cooking speed became more and more skillful, and he made several dishes and a soup in a short time.

When Li Bangguo and the others came back, Lin Zichen's dishes were also served on the table.

"Xiao Chen's cooking skills are really getting better and better, just smelling my stomach growls." Li Weimao was smiling and admiring while scrubbing the sweat from his body next to the well.

"When my stomach grows, give me a quick change of clothes and go to dinner." Ye Xiaoyu glared at Li Weimao, and threw the clothes he had changed into into a bucket to soak.

His daughter-in-law spoke, and Li Weimao didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so he wiped himself with water, went back to the room to change into dry clothes and went to the hall to wait for dinner.

The family sat around the square table and had a lively lunch, and Lin Zichen also took the opportunity to express the doubts in his heart, "Grandma, have you noticed that there are a lot fewer vegetables in the vegetable garden recently?" Every vegetable patch now looks much thinner. ”

"Really? I didn't notice that lately, people have been picking vegetables in the vegetable garden every day, and no matter how much they have, there will be fewer vegetables. Li Yuedi said disappreciatively.

Lin Zichen didn't go to the vegetable garden every day, and the people in the village did go to their own vegetable garden to pick vegetables more frequently during this time, so after hearing Li Yuedi say this, he also left this matter behind.

Liang Xiaomei listened to Lin Zichen's words and was a little concerned about this matter, she has been taking care of the vegetable garden for the past few days. The women of the village take care of the vegetable garden and water the seedlings every morning and evening.

In the past few days, when Liang Xiaomei went to the vegetable garden every morning, she would find that the vegetables in the vegetable field were a little sparser than yesterday evening, and she thought it was just because the people from Zhuang Shangshang came to pick them, but at this time, when she heard Lin Zichen say this, Liang Xiaomei felt that something was wrong, so she thought in her heart to figure out this.

Liang Xiaomei kept this in mind, and got up early the next morning.

After washing up simply, Liang Xiaomei didn't bother to go to the kitchen to make breakfast first, and walked quickly to the vegetable garden with a bucket.

At this time, the sky was bright, the mist shrouded the whole wind and village, the green leaves were stained with drops of dew, the grass was a little damp, and the air was exceptionally fresh and pleasant.

Liang Xiaomei was worried about trying to understand the doubts in her heart, and she didn't care about appreciating the morning scenery of the countryside every day, and when she met a few villagers who got up early on the road, she just nodded slightly and walked away quickly.

Almost trotting towards the vegetable garden, Liang Xiaomei, who was far away, saw a blurred figure swaying in her vegetable garden.

Liang Xiaomei's breathing was tight, and her steps couldn't help but speed up and lighten, and the look in her eyes was fierce.

Walking in and seeing the face of the comer, Liang Xiaomei suddenly burst into anger.

Looking around Zhuangzi, it was still very quiet, and there were only some women who got up early to cook when they walked back and forth.

"This eighth woman actually came to steal our family's vegetables, see if I can't treat you well." Liang Xiaomei's angry teeth murmured, but in order not to startle the grass and snakes, she had to swallow her anger and hide in the grassland outside the vegetable garden.

Seeing that the sky was already bright, the thief in the vegetable garden seemed to be addicted to stealing, and he was not afraid of being discovered at all. This gave Liang Xiaomei a chance, and there were more people walking back and forth in the village, and many women like Liang Xiaomei who came to the vegetable garden to water vegetables also walked to the river.

So Liang Xiaomei walked out of the grass, pretending to have just discovered the strange situation in her vegetable garden, and hurriedly exclaimed: "Who? Who's in our garden? ”

Most of the women in the village were born with loud voices, and Liang Xiaomei deliberately shouted loudly, which immediately attracted the attention of the women who came to water the vegetables. R1152
