Chapter 66: Longevity - Quiet Idyllic
This is an extremely large vegetable garden, to be precise, the nearby is divided into patches of vegetable gardens, each with different vegetables, and in the distance is rows of fruit trees, neatly arranged, and you can smell the aroma of fruit from time to time.
At this time, the vegetable garden is very quiet, and some little knights can be seen busy everywhere in the distance, and it is almost lunchtime, and the smoke can already be seen in the village not far away, just waiting for the fresh vegetables to be picked home, cleaned and ready to be cooked.
When they came, the husband and wife had already agreed with the restaurant that they would come later at noon to prepare some ingredients and ask them to help deal with them. At this time, the two looked at the various vegetables in front of them, and they didn't know what to choose for a while.
The path in the field stretched forward zigzagly, and the more they walked in, the more tangled they became, and finally they simply stopped thinking about it, and decided to help Grandpa Cai take care of the farmland first, and when they went back, they could pick up a few things that were not often eaten.
"It's quite refreshing to have no sun today, but if the scorching sun comes to this field, I'm afraid I'll get heat stroke."
Xiao Zhen carried the basket and walked briskly, teasing the deer beside him from time to time, the little ones seemed to feel fresh, smelling and looking, often falling behind a few people, but soon catching up again.
"You young people, you just can't endure hardship, the growth of crops in this field doesn't care about the weather, but you can do less work on a rainy day, and the weather is just busy."
In the impression of everyone in the Three Realms, he seems to have not changed anything in recent years, he has always been like that, people say that he should be an incognito immortal, and he has long been indifferent to the chaos of the world, only obsessed with the countryside and landscapes.
"The seniors are right, we should learn more from you."
"I can't talk about learning, I don't have anything advanced here, but this kind of cuisine is also a science, if you are interested, just come over."
"Then I thanked my predecessors first, we often thought about getting a few vegetable gardens in the yard when we were empty, but we rarely went back in these years, and this plan has been shelved."
"You don't have to force it, these things have to take a lot of thought, if you don't have time to take care of them, I'm afraid it's a waste, it's better to plant some flowers and plants that are easy to feed, colorful, and happy to look at."
Grandpa Cai said with a smile and stopped by the river, as if he had finally arrived at his destination.
He put aside all the tools in his hand, rested for a while, filled a bucket of water, walked to a vegetable garden not far away, and carefully watered the young shoots that had just grown.
Xiao Zhen looked around, and there were almost all such vegetable gardens nearby, although they were only a little green, but they could make people see the hope of a new life.
"Husband, let's go and help too."
"Okay."
Under the guidance of Grandpa Cai, Xiaoyu gently dug up the weeds around the young seedlings with a shovel, while Xiaoyu went back and forth between the farmland and the river, watering the vegetable beds that Xiaozhen had cleaned.
Don't look at the husband and wife who have never been exposed to these farm jobs, but they really get started, and most of the work is done in a short time.
Grandpa Cai was busy for a while, and looked back at the two young people, although they were working while playing, they were also meticulous, but they had reduced a lot of burden for him, so he nodded with satisfaction and smiled with satisfaction.
Noon has arrived, and many people's meals have already come out of the pot, and the rich aroma comes with the wind, making the already hungry couple even more hungry.
"It's so fragrant......"
Xiao Zhen sat on the haystack at the edge of the field, there were large clouds floating in the sky, and the earth was a piece of gold and green, gently swaying with the wind, like undulating waves, and the paths criss-crossing them, seemingly chaotic, but in fact very regular.
After noon, many people came to the vegetable garden, everyone was busy, and they chatted about the strange things in the village, a peaceful scene, quiet and beautiful.
"The two young heroes are tired, they really helped me a lot, pack up and go back first."
"Don't worry, we agreed with the restaurant that we will go later, we will help you get it for a while, and we will have to buy some fruits and vegetables from you later."
"What to buy, you helped me a lot today, just take what you want, you're welcome."
"Since the seniors said so, then we won't shirk, thank you seniors for their kindness."
"There's some food in the basket over there, so let's eat some to cushion your stomach first."
Grandpa Cai pointed to a bamboo basket placed on the ridge, turned around and walked to a field on the other side of the river, and when he came back, he had a few more sweet potatoes in his hand.
"Come, eat a few sweet potatoes, they are watery, sweet, and delicious, and the people in our village like them very much, and every time they come to this field, they rely on it to quench their thirst."
These sweet potatoes are very large, and if you eat one, you will be full, Xiaozhen can't eat it herself, so she cut it in half, kept the small one for herself, and gave the big half to Xiaoyu.
"It's delicious."
The sweet potatoes were very tender, seeing the husband and wife eating, the deer also surrounded them, Xiaoyu took a few sweet potatoes to the river to clean them, and was robbed by the deer before they were peeled.
"This white deer...... It's the Antarctic Immortal, right? ”
"Exactly, seniors know?"
"I have never seen it, but I often hear him mention it, and he always thinks about the white deer that wants to visit him, but he has never seen him really go."
"The nature of this deer is really with the owner, every day to think about it, but never acted, this time with us back is also hesitant for a long time, I really don't know what they think in their hearts."
The three of them looked at the greedy white deer and smiled in unison.
"We're almost rested, we'll go back after watering these fields for you."
"It's okay, there are two Lao."
When leaving, Grandpa Cai asked the couple to bring the remaining sweet potatoes and pick whatever dishes they wanted. 、
The two of them didn't have much to eat, so the couple just picked a few plants that were necessary for the famous dishes here, and when they returned to the gate of the vegetable garden, they saw a familiar figure.
"Miss Xu!"
"Are the two young heroes calling me?"
"Exactly."
"What's the matter?"
"When Fang just went to visit Zhong Shusheng, he asked us to give this thing to the girl."
Miss Xu hesitated for a moment, but still took the thing, although she was a little surprised, she didn't seem to be happy.
"Thank you, two young heroes."
Miss Xu smiled, thanked the two of them and turned to leave.
"Miss Xu doesn't look surprised, maybe it's just an unrequited love."
"I think the two of them are very compatible, but after all, it depends on their own wishes, and I hope they don't miss their fate in the end."
took Miss Xu to disappear into the green waves of the vegetable garden, and the husband and wife continued to set off, and after Grandpa Cai's hut, they would soon be able to see the Antarctic fairy.
