That night, the moon was bright and the stars were thin, and sometimes there was a breeze blowing, revealing a sense of warmth. The mat at the door is piled with freshly picked locust flowers, and the moonlight shines brightly, and it is whiter than snow. Lu Mengjian went out to see several times in a row, for fear that if the sky suddenly changed, the day's work would be wasted, if the weather is fine tomorrow, it will be enough to bask in the sun for another day.

There are also a few locust branches full of small white lanterns in the room, fortunately Li Dazhuang finished work and went home in the afternoon, and happened to see Lu Mengjian clumsily climbing up the tree, and Zhong'er and his mother were worried about the following, so they climbed to the tree, broke a lot of them and threw them in the open space, until the sunset, there were many left.

After dinner, Lu Mengjian sat under the lamp and slowly picked it up.

Lin Dai Mo was depressed all afternoon because of the noon incident, and he was obviously holding back his anger in his heart, but he didn't know where to vent, and Lu Mengjian was also busy with his own affairs, so he would be too idle to hit the muzzle, so he ate a few bites casually and lay on the bed, holding the book of poems in his hand that I don't know how many times it had been turned over, and his eyes were staring straight at the page.

The room has long been surrounded by the strong fragrance of acacia flowers, and it is not special to smell it for a long time. Lu Mengjian bent down to pick it for a day, and the cervical spine was uncomfortable at this time, so he put down the branch in his hand and stretched his arms in the room to stretch his muscles and bones. As soon as he turned around, he saw Lin Daimo staring at the book in a daze, and he was about to stare the pages out of the hole.

"Big turtle, just after eating, go to bed and be careful to become a fat turtle, anyway, you can't read a book, why don't you come and help me pick flowers," Lu Mengjian approached the bedside, "You smell, put yourself in the flowers, and leave a lingering fragrance in your hands!" ”

"I think it's a smell of broken branches and leaves," Lin Daimo disliked and pushed the little hand in front of him aside, "Don't call me a big turtle in the future, otherwise you'll ......"

"How else? The gentleman doesn't move his mouth, I have always respected you as a humble gentleman, don't ruin your image in the hearts of others," Lu Mengjian grinned, jumped a few steps, tilted his head to see Lin Daimo gritting his teeth, but he felt more and more that this man was a little cute, and people couldn't help but tease.

"What are you afraid of, such a big woman doesn't know what to check, and she jumps like a rabbit. Besides, how can I, a dignified man, do anything to a woman," Lin Daimo waved his hand magnificently, showing a bit of masculinity. After finishing speaking, he suddenly looked at Lu Mengjian and smiled slyly.

Finding that Lin Daimo suddenly changed his temper, Lu Mengjian always felt furious in his heart, and was aroused by this laugh with goosebumps, and replied stiffly, "That's naturally the best." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as she sat down, Lin Daimo lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed, "Little rabbit, why are you using so many acacia flowers?" ”

The sudden black shadow frightened Lu Mengjian and jumped up, and slapped a handful of acacia flowers in his hand into Lin Daimo's face, "You idiot, you don't know that people can be scared to death!" ”

"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door," Lin Daimo didn't get angry for the first time, and even picked up a few locust flowers on his body and put them in his mouth.

"Come on, I don't know which black-hearted ghost you offended, they were all poisoned like this, tsk." The two of them didn't speak for a few days, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they were swords, and after a few moves, Lin Daimo turned his head in anger and refused to speak.

"Big turtle, in fact, when you sulk, it's still quite cute, it's much better than pretending to be cool," Lu Mengjian added another sentence for fear that the world would not be chaotic, Lin Daimo rolled his eyes, and threw a few strings of acacia flowers picked in his hand into the basket.

"Young Master Ben doesn't care about an uneducated rabbit, it's too ungraceful," Lin Daimo looked down at Lu Mengjian domineeringly, "What's more, it's just a rabbit who serves people," he wanted to say again, Huaguan is just a cheap life, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back. He even wondered how he could have thought of such vicious words. Annoyed, he quickly changed his clothes and lay on the bed.

Lu Mengjian heard the other party bite a rabbit, but the scene of the tortoise and rabbit racing appeared in his mind, and he didn't care about what Lin Daimo said, and asked with a smile, "Hey, why don't we race?" ”

"Racing? How can you be a weak woman who can outrun me, it's really beyond my strength," Lin Daimo had never heard the story of the tortoise and rabbit race, and glanced at Lu Mengjian, but looked like a proud rabbit.

"No, no, no, I mean, to compare who of us will rely on our own strength in the future to run out of this village, or even out of Pulan City, but this run is not as simple as raising your legs and taking steps, it depends on this," Lu Mengjian pointed to his brain, a serious explanation.

Lin Daimo stood up and stared at Lu Mengjian like an alien, "Enough, as a woman, it is my duty to be honest and teach my husband and children, and if you want those ambitions and ambitions, you are not allowed to mention the word business from today onwards, the way of business, how can you bear it as a woman!" This matter is over, if you don't know the inspection again, don't blame Lin for not remembering the old love! ”

After that, he blew out the oil lamp lit at the head of the bed, leaving only Lu Mengjian stunned and standing on the spot, and after a while, he silently turned off the light and lay on the bed in a daze.

In fact, Lin Daimo was also uncomfortable in his heart, and in the past few days, Lu Mengjian intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the matter of doing business, nothing more than complaining that he was incapable of maintaining his family. It's just a matter of planting flowers and raising seedlings, but it doesn't hurt, and Lin Daimo doesn't care about it in his eyes. But tonight's words hit his self-esteem hard, and even his status in the family was in jeopardy, and Lin Daimo felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart.

It's just that the weak limbs keep reminding Lin Daimo that it is the weak woman next to her who really supports this family now. Although it is a nominal husband and wife relationship, she has always taken care of his daily life and diet without complaints, and has never even complained about the difficulties of life in person. Which of the food and clothing in the family did not depend on her, but he ......

The two of them had their own thoughts and stayed up until the next morning.

Lu Mengjian still maintains his usual routine and gets up on time at half past six, although there is no clock here, but the biological clock he has developed over the years cannot be moved. She got dressed and pulled the sleepy-eyed Lin Daimo up from the bed.

"What kind of nerves do you have early in the morning," Lin Daimo stood on the ground with a sad face, looking puzzled, he couldn't sleep all night, and he didn't fall asleep until five watches, obviously sleepy at the moment.

"Of course it's morning exercises, don't you want to get better early," Lu Mengjian had already changed into a set of light clothes, and when he looked closely, Lin Daimo realized that it was actually his own clothes.

With a reluctant face, Lu Mengjian finished the warm-up exercise, and the two slowly ran out of the yard. Lin Daimo's feet were weak, his speed was no different from walking, and Lu Mengjian was not reluctant, and followed behind him with his arms swinged. Breathing in the fresh air, Lin Daimo's mind gradually cleared up, listening to the crisp birdsong, there was an inexplicable joy in his heart.

After jogging around the village for half an hour, the sun rose and the two walked back. Lu Mengjian had the habit of exercising in the morning, but after coming here, he never ran again, and after running for a long time today, his body was faintly tired. Although Lin Daimo has been walking, after a long time, his physical strength has been exhausted.

When he walked home, most of the villagers had already gotten up and gone to the ground, and when he met the warm greetings of the villagers on the way, Lin Dai Mo responded politely one by one, and he also saw many faces.

The acacia flowers hanging in the courtyard were stained with a lot of dew at night, and they felt wet when they were touched by hand. Lu Mengjian changed his clothes back, cleaned his hands and face, and prepared breakfast after a while, Lin Daimo ate a steamed bun for the first time and drank a bowl of mung bean porridge. After some exercise in the morning, his face was not even as gray as before.

After seeing Lin Daimo go out, Lu Mengjian poured a basket of flowers picked at night on the mat, and the batch of dried earlier was obviously a little wilted, so he picked out some wilted flowers, and Lu Mengjian turned the locust flowers up and down again and flattened them again.

After watering all the flowers and seedlings in the courtyard, Lu Mengjian began to look at the black guy next to him again, although the pots had already been washed with hot alkaline water, they still looked dirty, and they were barely put together at the moment, and there were many strips of bark cloth wrapped around them, and the strange appearance made people laugh.

However, this strange "four dislikes" pot has a pivotal position in Lu Mengjian's heart.

Lu Mengjian circled around the pot, and after thinking for a while, he ran to the kitchen and picked up a pile of firewood and grass. Fortunately, Li Dazhuang went up the mountain to carry a lot of firewood back, and when he saw that the Lin family didn't even have firewood and grass, he sent a lot of them to Lu Mengjian, and he didn't have to worry about lighting a fire to cook.

However, Lu Mengjian has never used this pot, and he has not even seen a trace of fire after lighting it for a long time, and he kept filling it with firewood but only saw billowing smoke, which choked Lu Mengjian's tears and snot, and he couldn't wait to push this broken thing to it. When the stove was lit, Aunt Li taught her for a day, but as for using the pot head to start the fire, she didn't say a word.

Lu Mengjian fumbled to unload some firewood, although there was still smoke coming out of it, but it was much better, and he blew hard, and the flames suddenly burst out, only to hear the sound of "Z", a smell of burnt protein emanated from Lu Mengjian's forehead, and when he touched it with his hand, the hair on his forehead had been burned and curled.

Ignoring this, Lu Mengjian added a handful of firewood to the pot, quickly took water, poured a pot of water from the small opening reserved on the pot, and sealed the small mouth again.

After boiling for a long time, the water in the pot finally boiled, and the condensed water vapor flowed through a small tube made of bark to the pottery bowl on the side, drop by drop, like a rain in Lu Mengjian's eyes.

Lu Mengjian looked at the gradually increasing amount of clear water in the bowl, and danced excitedly.

"Although these equipment are not as good as before, at least they can be used improvised, and when they are successful in the future, they will ask someone to make a set of distillation tools," Lu Mengjian was thinking beautifully, and saw some semi-dried locust flowers that he had picked out earlier on the mat, and he had the heart to test these first, so he bent down and picked up the locust flowers into the basket.

But he heard a bang behind him, which frightened Lu Mengjian to jump up on the spot.
