Yuan Fu changed his clothes after washing, his hair was neatly tied back of his head, and he dressed up like a boy again. Pedal into the stove room, excitedly asked if it was okay to eat.

Her stomach was going to go hungry.

Lu Zhao knocked on the table to make her sit, put the porridge that had been cooled in advance in front of her, and lifted the lid of the pot to take out the sugar water eggs, one bowl per person.

Yuanfu took a deep breath and sighed: "It's so fragrant." ”

The white porridge is served with some pickled side dishes by the villagers themselves, although it is not exquisite, but it also has a unique flavor. Yuanfu didn't dislike the coarse breakfast at all, drank the porridge cleanly, and ate the sugar water and eggs.

The village chief arrived.

The village chief was only in his forties, and the wrinkles on his face hung down, like the bark of an old tree that had been dried and tanned. Tell them that they are going to sow wheat seeds recently and ask them to help in the fields. Fortunately, the men of several families have gone out, and the women are sick again, so they rely on the children of the family to work, and ask them to help them a little more.

The two followed the village chief and went to call Xu Yang and Gao Xuan halfway. The two had just finished eating, and sat in the room with sad faces. Yuan Fu looked at their room from the outside, and felt that it was similar to his own, knocked on the door and entered, and found that there was a cave.

Did these two men sleep in the ashes?

As soon as Yuanfu pushed the door, the dust flew in the light. There are traces of cleaning in the house, but the person who cleaned it is too perfunctory, probably just a casual wipe.

Yuanfu stretched out his hand and dusted it, feeling that his nose was not very comfortable, and retreated.

She couldn't help but compare Lu Zhao with the two.

Immediate opinion.

Xu Yang and Gao Xuan ran out embarrassedly and greeted each other: "Brother Lu, Brother Jiang, good morning." ”

Lu Zhao didn't have much to do with them, and he wasn't enthusiastic, so he nodded. However, Yuanfu responded positively: "Good morning." The village chief is waiting for you, let's go. ”

The last four people were all scattered, and Yuan Fu was the first to receive the job. The man went to the army, and the woman ran away with the other men, leaving the grandmother with the child. The grandmother can't get off the ground at an old age, but the grandparents and grandchildren are counting on this little money to live, so usually the granddaughter comes out to farm, and the grandmother will come to help if she is really busy.

The little girl was thin and small, her skin was quite yellow, and her eyes were a little timid and shrunken.

At first glance, Yuanfu thought she was eight or nine years old, but when she asked, she found out that she was already twelve years old.

"What's your name?" Yuan Fu asked with a grin.

The little girl looked at her for a while before she replied in a low voice, "Jiang Miaomiao." ”

"Seedlings of seedlings?"

The little girl nodded.

Although she couldn't read and write, it didn't prevent her grandmother from telling her that her "seedling" was the "seedling" of He Miao.

Yuan Fu patted her head and said, "You tell me how to plant, and I'll leave the rest to me, and you go and sit next to you to rest." ”

The little girl's eyes widened, her eyes were clear and watery, "Why are you helping me?" ”

Yuan Fu, who asked this question, was stunned, "Because...... I like you. ”

The little girl's face suddenly turned red. Although the yellow skin is not visible, Yuanfu is close, and he can still clearly feel the heat.

Yuanfu was strange, and said that little girls are so shy now? She's a girl...... Oh no, she's not a girl now.

It's always easy for her to forget that she's dressing as a man.

It's embarrassing.

Yuanfu coughed twice to try to cover up the past, and asked with a weak heart: "How to plant?" You teach me. ”

*

The little girl is unequivocal in guiding the farm work, and she is not shy anymore, and her brows are furrowed to kill flies, which shows how much she dislikes Yuanfu.

After a morning, Yuanfu felt that he was about to sweat.

The smell of sweat, combined with back pain, neck pain, and severe pain in the arms.

She wanted to die now.

When it was time for lunch, the little girl put away her stereotypical attitude and invited Yuanfu to eat at home. Yuanfu readily agreed.

Although there is no rule for the villagers to provide them with food, they have helped the villagers after all, and it is normal for people to thank them for a meal.

Yuanfu followed the little girl to her house.

In a simple and simple tiled house, smoke was rising from the roof, and a big yellow dog pounced on Jiang Miaomiao. Jiang Miaomiao rarely showed a smiling face, squatted down to play with the big yellow dog. The big yellow dog curiously rubbed to Yuanfu's side and circled around Yuanfu.

Yuanfu remembered strawberries.

When she leaves home, Strawberry will miss her.

Yuanfu squatted down and touched the big yellow dog, and the big yellow dog happily stuck out his tongue and wanted to lick her.

At this time, grandma beckoned to them: "Miao Miao, come to dinner!" ”

"It's coming!" Jiang Miaomiao replied loudly.

Yuanfu followed Jiang Miaomiao to his grandmother, and her grandmother asked curiously, "Are you a soldier in the city?" ”

"Hmm." Yuan Fu nodded.

Grandma looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "The young man is very handsome, has he married his mother-in-law?" ”

"......" Yuanfu almost choked on saliva, "No, no." ”

Grandma smiled meaningfully, walked away with her waist bent, and instructed Jiang Miaomiao to serve rice. Jiang Miaomiao gave Yuan Fu a full bowl, the tightly pressed kind, and put it in front of her with a red face: "You eat more." ”

Yuanfu wanted to feel the enthusiasm of the little girl, but he had a strange feeling.

There was no meat for lunch, two plates of vegetarian dishes and a bowl of scrambled eggs. The scrambled eggs are still specially fried by Yuanfu, and the grandparents usually eat Chinese cabbage with white rice.

Yuanfu looked at the scrambled eggs in front of him, and he was very unhappy.

She deliberately pushed the scrambled eggs to the middle, but neither the grandparents nor grandchildren ate them, so Yuanfu simply stood up and put a little bit in everyone's bowl.

The grandparents looked at her in amazement.

"That, Miao Miao is growing her body, so she needs to eat more. Grandma, you eat too. ”

In order not to be hungry when she worked in the afternoon, Yuan Fu insisted on eating all the food that Jiang Miaomiao served her, but she still felt dull in her mouth.

I usually have meat to eat every day, but I just want to eat something light and change the taste. Now I want to eat meat but I can't.

Yuan Fu swallowed silently.

There is no need to go out immediately after eating, Yuanfu slept at Jiang Miaomiao's house, and the sun was not so hot before the two of them went out. Jiang Miaomiao put on a straw hat for Yuanfu to shade the sun.

Yuan Fuxin said that no matter whether she shaded the sun or not, she would have to be a few degrees darker when she went back.

Yuanfu's work gradually got on the right track, and Jiang Miaomiao didn't have to look at her all the time, so she started sowing seeds from the other end of the field. When a large field was planted, the sun was setting.

At the end of one day, there are two days left.

Yuanfu doubted that he would be able to make it through.

Jiang Miaomiao invited her to dinner again.

"Don't bother," Yuan Fu wiped the sweat from his head, "I told my companion that we would eat together." ”

Jiang Miaomiao didn't force her when she heard her say this, and stuffed a handful of melon seeds into her hand.

Yuan Fu was moved to say thank you several times.

Jiang Miaomiao blushed and ran away.

"......" Yuanfu felt that she was reacting a little too aggressively.

*

Yuanfu walked all the way and knocked melon seeds, and specially left half of it for Lu Zhao. Halfway through, I saw Lu Zhao carrying a chicken and walking this way.

The young man frowned and looked disgusted, but no matter how disgusted he was, he didn't throw away the chicken in his hand.

The chicken had been slaughtered, its fur had been plucked bare, and its legs were bewitchingly kicked forward. There was a thread tied around his neck and wrapped all the way to Lu Zhao's fingers.

Yuan Fu couldn't help but laugh.

She didn't even feel hungry anymore.

Mr. Lu will also have a day of walking on the street with chickens.

Strange news.

Lu Zhao's entire attention was on the chicken, so much so that he didn't see Yuan Fu. Yuan Fu approached, and he raised his eyes and stared at her in a daze, "Yuan Fu? ”

The boy's brow loosened slightly.

It seems that as soon as he saw Yuanfu, the torture that this chicken gave him was not so intense.

"You're really going to buy chickens." Yuan Fu couldn't help but laugh, "Male and female? ”

"Mother's." Lu Zhao replied.

Yuan Fu was surprised: "The villagers are willing to sell them to you if they don't keep hens to lay eggs?" ”

Laying eggs is a long-term income, and once you sell it, the income is gone.

Lu Zhao lowered his eyes and said lightly, "I spent ten taels, plus slaughtering chickens, a total of eleven taels." ”

Yuanfu's eyes widened: "Eleven taels!" You're a waste of ......."

Before she could finish speaking, she paused in time.

After a busy day in Jiangjia Village, she began to think that it was a luxury to buy chickens for eleven taels.

Obviously, she has two hundred taels of silver every month. This is on the public account and does not include the subsidy of the father and brother.

So there's nothing wrong with buying chicken for eleven taels.

Yuan Fu stuck out his tongue. Lu Zhao looked at it with a smile and teased: "Are you following the local customs?" ”

Yuan Fu glanced at him: "Diligence and thrift are virtues." ”

"Oh?" Lu Zhao's tail note rose upward, and he picked up the chicken in his hand: "Do you want to return it?" ”

Yuanfu knew that he did it on purpose!

She and Lu Zhao won't have any pleasant conversations!

"I bought everything, and it was a waste not to eat it." Yuan Fu pouted.

*

Eating or bathing first is the question.

Yuanfu chose to take a bath first.

Although she didn't smell anything strong about herself, it was still unbearable. In her imagination, she was already so bad that every time Lu Zhao got closer to her, she had to move away.

Lu Zhao wanted to cook chicken soup, and Yuan Fu could only fetch water by himself. Fortunately, it was not too hot in the evening, and although I was a little tired from fetching water all the way, I didn't sweat.

After the water was finished, she couldn't wait to boil the water, and after boiling the water, she drilled into the bathtub and relaxed instantly.

Could there be a better moment than this?

Without!

When I took a bath, the smell of rice and chicken soup began to waft from the stove room next door. Yuanfu was very comfortable, humming a little song leisurely, and suddenly looked up and saw a dark shadow flashing next to the window, she was stunned and asked, "Lu Zhao?" ”

No one should be.

She shouted: "Lu Zhao! ”

Lu Zhao heard the little girl calling him in the stove room, and hurriedly came over and asked through the door, "What's the matter?" ”

"Where were you?"

Lu Zhao frowned: "I'm in the stove room." What's wrong? ”

Yuan Fu came out of his mind for a moment and said, "It's okay." I'm afraid you're gone, so I'll ask you, it's good if you're here. ”

Lu Zhao heard that the little girl was a little scared when she said "It's good if you're there".

"Yuanfu, what happened?" Lu Zhao became serious.

"Nope. I just saw a black cat, and I'm a little scared, go cook it, I'm so hungry. ”
