Chapter 199: Pastoral. Admit low self-esteem
As time passed, Deer Begonia invited some experienced fruit farmers to help the people of Orchard Village take care of the fruit trees, and when summer approached, the fruit was abundant, the branches were bent, and they were not yet fully ripe, and they were only a month away from being able to sell.
Lu Xingshen has been studying, often going back and forth between Guoyuan Village and Linjiang County, occasionally helping Grandma Lu with farm work, and sometimes helping Lu Haitang cook a meal to repay her for sending clothes.
Li naturally found that Lu Haitang and Lu Xingshen were getting closer and closer, and she was anxious, and finally couldn't help but stop Lu Xingshen on the road when Lu Xingshen came to Lu Haitang's house with food again.
Looking up, Lu Xingshen's skin slowly turned a lot whiter, the sword eyebrows and star eyes were extremely good-looking, the clear and dazzling black pupils flashed with an awe-inspiring heroic aura, and there was a charming look hidden under the seemingly calm eye waves, and he blushed in an instant, didn't dare to look at it anymore, and said in a low voice:
"Brother Xingshen, where are you going? Do you need my help? ”
Lu Xingshen frowned slightly, knowing that Li wanted those words of admiration for him again, and walked towards Lu Haitang's thatched house around her.
"I don't need help, just send food to Miss Begonia."
"Brother Xingshen! You and the Begonia girl are unmarried and unmarried, so it's not appropriate to communicate like this. ”
Li became more and more jealous of Lu Haitang, who couldn't even cook, she was obviously much more diligent than her, why did Brother Xing Shen keep rejecting her?
Is it because she is not as beautiful as her?
Lu Xingshen didn't pay attention to Li, seeing that Lu Haitang hadn't woken up yet, he put the lunch box by the window, turned around and walked back, he really didn't have the heart to pay attention to Li, who was becoming more and more rude.
Li was no longer embarrassed to chase after her, staring at the lunch box by the window of Lu Haitang, with a strong hatred in her heart, and when she stepped forward to steal the lunch box, she bumped into that amazing face.
"Ah!!h
In a panic, he fell to the ground along with the lunch box, and the floral skirt he had just changed was also stained with dust, and he was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to confront Lu Haitang, so he was a thief and had a weak heart, so he stood up and ran home.
Lu Haitang had just woken up, but he didn't expect the rations to be knocked down, and he was extremely depressed, so he opened the door and picked up the lunch box, swept all the food on the ground in the trash can, and sighed while feeling his hungry and panicked stomach.
The modern snacks have long been eaten, and the beef jerky in the last world is gone, and there are a lot of ingredients left, all of which need to be done by herself, but she really doesn't want to touch the stove, so she can only change her clothes and walk to Lu Xingshen's house.
Lu Xingshen was reading a book in the courtyard, when he heard the door being pushed open, he looked up, and Lu Haitang, who was wearing a white gauze skirt and was so beautiful that the country and the city were captivating, appeared at the door, and retracted his gaze in a little panic.
The early summer sun is very warm, and the yard is very cool with shade of vines, and a gust of wind blows, which is very comfortable.
Seeing that Grandma Lu was not at home, Lu Haitang closed the door, sat next to Lu Xingshen with his stomach, handed him the empty bowl, and said pitifully:
"I spilled my meal in the morning, I didn't eat it, I'm so hungry......"
This Li likes Lu Xingshen if she likes it, why do you still come to harm her rations?
Lu Xingshen didn't dare to look at Lu Haitang's soul-stirring eyes, stood up a little helplessly, took the lunch box, fortunately there were still some left at home, refilled a bowl for her, and covered the food on it.
"Eat, there's your favorite sauerkraut fish, and the fish is still raised in your pond."
A few days ago, Lu Haitang caught more than a dozen fish in his spare time, and all of them mentioned his home, anyway, he didn't know how to do it except roast in the wild, so he simply handed it over to Lu Xingshen, who could cook.
Lu Haitang happily took the bowl, looked at the slices of fish that had been removed from the assassination, ate it deliciously, and did not forget to thank him.
"Thank you, your cooking is better than Grandma Deer's."
It's as good as the previous cooking, and it's confirmed that it's me!
With Lu Haitang eating on the side, Lu Xingshen had no intention of reading, put the book aside for the time being, looked at her softly, and said with a smile:
"It's just some home-cooked food, the begonia girl is well-informed, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas she has eaten must be much better than this."
Lu Haitang hurriedly denied: "No, no, no, it's still your deliciousness." ”
If only there were lobsters and those spices here, I really miss the spicy lobster made by Lu Xingshen, and I drool when I think about it.
Lu Xingshen was so praised by Lu Haitang, he suddenly felt a little hot and changed the topic: "Miss Begonia plans to live in Orchard Village all the time?" ”
After asking, he regretted it a little, Lu Haitang can live wherever he wants, and he has no right to care, the two of them are not people of the same world at all, and there will always be one of her who will leave.
Lu Haitang didn't think too much, and after eating, he looked at Lu Xingshen, who was getting better and better, lying on the table with his chin in his hands, and said slowly:
"I won't live for long, and I will move to Linjiang County after the fruit stall is arranged. By the way, I have something to discuss with you. ”
Lu Xingshen ignored the loss in his heart, restrained his emotions, and put away the dishes and chopsticks, "What's the matter?" ”
It was still early, and Lu Haitang waited for Lu Xingshen to put the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen before he came back:
"About the fruit store, I want to ask you to help with Grandma Deer, Grandma Deer can take care of the fruit shop, and you can also sell some steamed buns at the window next to the fruit stall, if you are free, you can go with me to transport fruits, and you can also help collect money, so that everyone has money to earn."
Her salary must be much higher, and besides, Lu Xingshen lives in the county seat, so it is much more convenient to read, and Grandma Lu doesn't have to do those heavy farm work.
With such an employment relationship, Lu Xingshen shouldn't resist......
Sure enough, Lu Xingshen was only shocked for a while, and then reacted, Lu Haitang was going to give him a job, and even thought of Grandma Lu, there was no reason to refuse at all, and he was extremely grateful in his heart.
"Thank you Miss Begonia for always thinking about us, it is not a problem to leave the transportation and purchase of fruits to me, grandma is really not good to do those heavy farm work in her old age, but the steamed buns made are very delicious, in the past, I just didn't have money to buy rice noodles and fillings, I didn't expect ......"
I didn't expect Lu Haitang to think of everything for them, or in such a way that he could accept it, he remembered the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that only needed five hundred copper coins, and inexplicably had an intuition that she must have given the money in advance, but she didn't know how to ask about it.
Lu Haitang was relieved to see that Lu Xingshen did not resist this matter, it seems that it is still very fruitful to slowly approach Grandma Lu during this time, and can't help but smile:
"Just call me Begonia, you and Grandma Lu have been very good to me in the past six months, and the courtesies are still exchanged."
Seeing Lu Haitang looking at him, Lu Xingshen could clearly feel that his heartbeat had accelerated a little, and he subconsciously clenched his hands, slightly nervous.
"This is not good, how can men and women call each other by their names, Miss Begonia doesn't understand our customs here."
Lu Haitang stared at Lu Xingshen's slightly reddened ears, and couldn't help but want to tease him: "I think it's very good, the name Xingshen is also very good." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Xingshen's ears were red, his face was also hot, and he looked at Lu Haitang with a smile on his face at a loss, always feeling that she was doing it on purpose.
"Begonia girl, don't laugh."
He admits that he has low self-esteem......
