A bland chapter

Lu Yu felt that Cheng Huai's words were very reasonable, whether they were good or bad, in the eyes of "God", they might all be the same, and there was no difference. The so-called good people have good rewards, and there is never any evidence

Immediately, Lu Yu thought again: "It doesn't seem to matter whether there is a good reward for doing good deeds, isn't there a saying that 'but if you do good deeds, don't ask about the future'?" ”

At noon at Qichu Villa, Lu Yu met Cheng Huai's younger brother, named Cheng Huaide. Lu Yu said that one of the two brothers was called Cheng Huai and the other was Cheng Huaide, which was quite strange.

Cheng Huai said that his parents named him "Cheng Huaifu", and he himself felt that the name "Huaifu" was not very good, so he later removed the word "rich" and renamed it "Cheng Huai" today.

Lu Yu also felt that "Cheng Huai" sounded much better than "Cheng Huaifu".

Cheng Huai and Cheng Huaide brothers look a little similar, both of them are handsome, especially Cheng Huaide, who is born with a white and pure literary atmosphere, but a little like a scholar.

Cheng Huaide is also very respectful and polite to Lu Yu, but he doesn't like to talk and looks introverted. Cheng Huai introduced his brother to Lu Yu and said, "My brother looks more civil, but he is a good worker. ”

Lu Yu nodded and smiled, but he was thinking in his heart, why did Cheng Huai tell me this.

Then Cheng Huai said: "Mr. Lu, my brother is good, but he is too shy, so now he is in his twenties, and he has not met Zhong."

Meaning girl, hehe. ”

"More than twenty, still young." Lu Yu smiled and thought, "Cheng Huai, you are just going to get married, so you feel that your younger brother is old?" ”

"Young is young, but you have to grasp it tightly." Cheng Huai glanced at his younger brother who was bowing his head and blushing, and said with a smile: "What, Mr. Lu, there are many people in your village, please help pay attention to see if there is a suitable girl who can take a fancy to our family Huaide." ”

Lu Yu smiled, nodded and said, "This is easy to say, if we have a suitable one over there, we can pull and tow for the Huaide brothers." Lu Yu thought for a while, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of Fang Huaru. Although Fang Huaru is still young, she can already be regarded as an "older young woman" in the countryside, and her parents should be very anxious.

Cheng Huaide blushed and said, "Mr. Lu, don't listen to my brother, how can I be so anxious." ”

"It's okay to be anxious..."After saying this, Lu Yu laughed to himself, thinking that he was more than ten years older than others, and he hadn't married yet, so where could he persuade others to hurry up.

Cheng Huai said: "Mr. Lu has the heart to help pay attention to it, let's be honest, these days, it is difficult to find a daughter-in-law." ”

"yes, it's hard to find." Lu Yu thought of himself, if it weren't for the natural disaster that sent Yan Xi'an to Yangshan Village, if it weren't for the fact that he practiced the kitchen knife formula, he was afraid that he was still single now, and he might not even be able to live until now.

After eating a hearty lunch, Lu Yu said goodbye and went home, did not pass through Jinhua City again, stayed in Anding Valley for a while, and circled the rice field a few times.

The rice in Anding Valley grows very well, although Lu Yu does not have enough fertilizer to press the field, but thanks to the fertile soil in the valley, so

Even without the gray manure fertilizer, the rice grows strongly.

When Lu Yu returned home, he heard Yan Xi'an and the three of them talking in the backyard, Yan Jibai and his wife were not at home, they should have gone to the school.

In the backyard, Yan Xiding and a few people were lively, Lu Yu looked over, Yan Xiding and Lan Shaofang stood slim on the edge of the pool, but Yan Xiding was nowhere to be seen. Lu Yu looked again, there was a lotus leaf in the pool churning, and there was the sound of someone dripping water inside.

"Xiding, what are you doing, catching fish?" Lu Yu walked up to Yan Xi'an and smiled at her.

"Brother Da Yu, Xiding is digging lotus roots, not catching fish." Lan Shaofang shook his two hands, holding two handfuls of white jade-like lotus lotus shuttles.

Lu Yu hadn't seen the lotus root shuttle, but he recognized it, and he said, "This is the lotus lotus shuttle, can you eat it?" ”

"You can eat it, you can eat it raw." Lan Shaofang broke a short section and handed it to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu looked at the white and slender lotus root shuttle in his hand, this thing is evenly thick, slightly thicker than the thumb, looking at the appearance, it is not like the lotus root at all. Lu Yu broke the lotus root shuttle in his hand again, and looked at the cross-section, there were also thin holes and threads like lotus roots.

"It looks delicious." Lu Yu gave it to Yan Xi'an in one piece, and he took a bite first. The lotus root is very crisp, with a lot of moisture and a slight sweetness.

"Uncle, is it delicious?" Yan Xi'an ate it, but Lu Yu didn't eat what she gave her.

"It's delicious, it's delicious." Lu Yu ate the lotus root shuttle in his hand three times and divided five by two, then took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and prepared to go into the water.

"The brook will set you up, and I will go down." Lu Yu rolled up his sleeves again and was eager to enter the water.

Yan Xi'an said: "Uncle, the water is very deep, and he took off his trousers. ”

"Eh, I'm really not ashamed, there is a girl here, how can Xiding take off his pants?" Of course Lu Yu won't take off his pants, anyway, if it's wet, it's wet.

"The two of them, one is my sister, and the other is a savage girl who doesn't know anything, what are you afraid of?" Yanxi was fixed in the center of the pool, blocked by layers of lotus leaves.

"You're a savage silly boy." Lan Shaofang threw a clod of soil into the pool, but it didn't hit Yan Xiding.

Yan Xiding laughed, but threw a green honeycomb-like thing up.

Lu Yu hadn't seen that thing, so he bent down to pick it up, looked at it, and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Uncle, this is a lotus pod, you can eat it." Yan Xi'an took the lotus pod from Lu Yu's hand, and said, "But this one is too small, not as big as a palm, and the lotus pod rice has not grown." ”

"Oh, you can't eat it." Lu Yu said: "Xiding, the lotus pod is still small, don't pick it yet." ”

"Don't pick it, I'm here to dig the lotus root, Brother Da Yu, come down quickly, dig together, let's fry the lotus root at night and eat it." It seems that there is no food in this world that Yan Xiding does not like to eat.

"Okay, but I won't dig it." Lu Yu had already walked into the pool, and it was not yet summer at this time, and the pool water was slightly cold.

Yan Xiding said: "I won't either, just reach out and dig in the mud, and if you catch the lotus lotus, you will drag it up." ”

"Is that so?" Lu Yu suddenly thought, these lotus lotus shuttles were pulled off, wouldn't the lotus lotus die? So he said, "Xiding, we can't pick it anymore." ”

Yan Xiding took out a long and white lotus root shuttle from the bottom of the water, threw it on the shore, and asked Lu Yu: "Why can't it?" ”

"The lotus root is the root of the lotus leaf, this root has been torn off, can the lotus leaf and lotus still live?"

Yan Xi said in one mouth: "I can't live, but there are so many lotus leaves in the pool, it doesn't matter if I die." ”

Lu Yu walked ashore again, although there were many lotus leaves in the pool, he was still a little reluctant to kill them.

"Xiding, enough to eat, come up." Lu Yu said: "Wait for a few days to have a lotus pod, let's eat the lotus pod." ”

"Okay, there are already a lot of them anyway." Yan Xi went ashore on the water, and his face was covered with mud.

Yan Xiding has really grown a lot taller recently, and he is only half a head shorter than Lu Yu. He washed his hands and feet by the pool, and said to Lu Yu: "Brother Da Yu, the lotus root shuttle should be fried with sour chili peppers, and it can't be delicious like lard." ”

Lu Yu patted Yan Xiding on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are all young men, do you still like to eat so much?" ”

"Hehe, what does it have to do with being old and not being old?" Yan Xiding put on his shoes and said, "There are a few big fish in the pool, do you want to get one and eat them?" ”

Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's still not good, there is still a lot of meat at home." "The fish in the pond are raised by himself, and Lu Yu can't seem to eat them.

"Okay, anyway, I just want to eat sour chili fried lotus root today, and I want to fry it crispy."

Lu Yu: "... You come to fry. ”

Lu Yu was cooking in the kitchen, and Yan Xi'an asked him if he had seen the new Liang County Order. After all, Yan Xi'an is a few years old, and he is no longer a child who thinks about what to eat and play all day long.

Lu Yu said that he had not seen Liang County, and then said: "I went to that farm today, and the owner of the farm, Cheng Ran, got married in June, and he invited me to come over to drink the wedding wine at that time." ”

"Is it the original Golden Mountain Farm? So are you going? Yan Xi'an doesn't know Cheng Huai yet.

"Go, let's go together." Lu Yu was chopping vegetables, cutting lotus root shuttles, white lotus root shuttles that were thicker than his thumb, and were cut into sections more than an inch long.

Yan Xi'an's face flushed slightly, and said, "What am I going to do, I don't know anyone." ”

Lu Yu said with a hippie smile: "I know each other, doesn't this mean that you also know each other?" ”

"Hmph, you are you, I am me, who is equivalent to you."

Lu Yu smiled and said, "The owner of that Cheng has a younger brother, who is in his twenties this year, and said that he wants me to help him keep an eye on the village and see if there is a suitable girl to introduce him." ”

Yan Xi'an sneered and said, "Poof, is this to let Uncle you be a matchmaker?" ”

"yes, I'm a matchmaker." Lu Yu is cutting green peppers, he has no habit of pickling sour peppers, and only has fresh peppers at home.

Yan Xi'an skillfully lit a fire in the stove, sat on the bench and stared at the flames rising in the stove, and said, "Uncle, are there any young girls in your village?" ”

Lu Yu thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but we have a big girl here who hasn't married, and Fang Huaru is the biggest." ”

"Yes, Sister Fang is three or four years older than me, she should also get married." Yan Xi'an sighed again and continued: "But, although General Shan has died, will she be willing to marry again?" ”

"I'm afraid I'll have no idea for a while, alas." Whenever Fang Huaru and Shan Tianfang were mentioned, Lu Yu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he shook his head, trying to stop thinking about it.

Yan Xi'an Bingxue was smart, she said: "Uncle, are you blaming yourself for General Shan's death?" ”

"Well, sort of." Lu Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Yan Xi'an put his chin on his knee, looked at Lu Yu and said, "Uncle, I don't know how to persuade people, but I understand that although General Shan died unjustly, you don't have to blame yourself too much." ”

Lu Yu didn't want to say that Xi'an was too worried, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know." ”

Yan Xi'an stared at Lu Yu and blinked, his eyes full of tenderness.
