Chapter 76: Iron Man Tenderness
The next morning, Xu Bai got up to go to the toilet.
The moment she opened the door, she was almost startled by the light coming in through the window.
Lu Yueping's legs were straight on the futon, his broad back was leaning against the corner of the table, his arms were hovering in front of his chest, his eyes were closed, and he slept peacefully and strangely.
This man can fall asleep while sitting.
If she wanted to go to the bathroom, she had to pass by Lu Yueping's location.
Xu Bai settled down and approached lightly.
In the darkness, a pair of sharp eyes opened suddenly.
The moment Lu Yueping opened his eyes, the voice of the rough mine gushed out at the same time: "Who! ”
Xu Bai was agitated and said lightly: "It's me." ”
Lu Yueping glanced at the window, and after a long tired sigh came out of his nose, he asked, "Get up and go to the toilet?" ”
Xu Baiying: "Hmm. ”
He waved his hand, meaning to let her pass, and then closed his eyes.
Xu Bai walked past him, looked back and asked, "Isn't it uncomfortable to sit and sleep?" ”
Lu Yueping turned his back to her and said, "I have had back pain in the past two days. ”
In that fight with Lu Kun in the backyard of the bar, he was stamped and bruised, and a blood-red flower exploded, and he is still red, swollen and painful.
Xu Bai didn't ask anything more, and quickened his pace into the bathroom.
She squatted in a daze inside, and stayed for a long time if she wasn't careful.
She didn't come out until there was movement outside.
When he came out, Lu Yueping was rolling up the cover.
The pillows were swept up in them, and the futon was formed into a large cylinder, which was placed on the wall haphazardly.
He sat on the couch and smoked, as if he hadn't woken up, his eyes still closed.
Xu Bai ignored it and walked to the bedroom by himself.
Lu Yueping stopped her: "When you wake up, pack up your things and get up early, and go up the mountain with the third brother in a while." ”
Xu Bai stopped abruptly, leaned against the door and asked softly, "You're not afraid that I know too much if you do this?" ”
Lu Yueping's rough fingers clamped the cigarette tightly and said, "A little girl, what kind of bloody rain can you make." ”
Xu Bai didn't answer again, entered the house and closed the door.
A pair of slender hands came out after the quilt was neatly folded.
At this time, Lu Yueping was urinating in the bathroom.
The door was not closed, and the sound of urine could be heard clearly.
After a while, he brushed his teeth in the bathroom and washed up, and when he was done, he walked out on his long legs.
Xu Bai said: "Please close the door when you go to the toilet in the future." ”
The corners of Lu Yueping's mouth twitched: "I don't have this habit." ”
Xu Bai was angry for a while: "You person! ”
Lu Yueping's smile deepened: "You brush your teeth and wash your face, I'll boil the pot of water." ”
The one meter and eight meters passed by Xu Bai, and collided as if out of nowhere.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the fat man came knocking on the door.
The three of them went to the mountain where they had been last night.
Generally speaking, new tea is the most popular in spring, and the tea picking time is also from January to March.
But oolong tea is an exception.
The best time to pick oolong is in June, with summer tea being the best.
Several hills are planted with oolong tea, so much so that when a few people arrived, the tea farmers and hired tea pickers were picking tea on the top of the mountains.
There are many cars parked at the bottom of the mountain, all of which are people who have come to buy summer tea.
Lu Yueping asked the tea farmer at the bottom of the mountain whose mountain the middle one belonged to.
The tea farmer said: "If you want to buy oolong, I also have it at home." ”
Lu Yueping smiled, took out a crumpled fifty yuan from his pocket and handed it to the tea farmer: "If you want that mountain, please inform the owner of the mountain, we will buy tea with him." ”
The tea farmer took the money and said reluctantly: "I'll call someone for you, you wait here for a while." ”
The man walked briskly to a house with the main fence between them, and after a while he called out to a middle-aged man who was over half a hundred years old and had a slightly curved back.
Lu Yueping said: "We want to go up to your mountain to see the tea, and we buy a lot." ”
The middle-aged man kindly said, "Don't buy the fried ones? A few days ago, it was fried, and it was put in the house. ”
Lu Yueping gave people a cigarette, hooked his lips angrily and said, "Just buy the freshly picked ones, and we'll go back and fry them ourselves." You see, we're coming in a truck, and if the tea is good, we're going to pull a truckload away. ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Okay, you come with me." ”
While they were talking, Xu Bai had already picked up a few handfuls of soil at the foot of the mountain, sniffed it secretly, and looked at it.
I remembered the soil at the foot of the mountain, the color of the soil, and the extreme softness of the texture.
The mountain road is not easy to walk, and only a small road that is stepped on by future generations can be walked.
Xu Bai looked at the mountain, no matter how he looked at it, it really felt like a mountain, the height and size were the same as other mountains.
How can a fat man distinguish the real from the fake at a glance.
This group of people is really not simple.
On the way to get in the car, Xu Bai's shoes were not slippery well, and he slipped after only a few steps, and almost fell into the mud.
Lu Yueping stretched out his hand, but Xu Bai didn't hold it.
He smiled, simply folded a branch casually, led one end by himself, and approached Xu Bai at the other end.
The mountain road was really difficult, and Xu Bai hesitated for a while before pinching the branches.
Lu Yueping strode forward, his thick arms continued to exert force, and he dragged Xu Bai to the place.
The fat man was panting, and Lu Yueping's forehead and arms were also sweating thinly.
When they arrived, many middle-aged women were picking tea in the mountains.
The boss took them around the mountain and introduced them to the quality, grade, and time of planting this batch of tea from time to time.
Lu Yueping and the fat man's eyes were on the tea leaves, and they had been secretly observing something, but sometimes they would pretend to be curious and ask a few words, although he didn't really want to know in his heart.
Xu Bai found that there was no cave on this mountain, maybe Lu Yueping and they were also observing this.
She secretly took soil samples and found that there was no obvious difference between the soil here and the soil at the foot of the mountain.
But the soil on the hill was mixed with some stones, and the color was slightly lighter than that of the lower hill.
The soil on the surface of the hill is very compact after a long period of stamping, and it is difficult to make any new discoveries if you do not use tools to dig out the soil underneath.
While Xu Bai was thinking, Lu Yueping glanced at her, and then chatted with the tea farmer.
"How many years have you been growing tea in the mountains?"
The middle-aged man said, "I've been planting since my father's time. Just because of the early time of work, the agreement signed with the relevant departments at the beginning is long, and the right to use this mountain for 50 years is our family. ”
"Did you live at the foot of the mountain when you were a child?"
The tea farmer said: "I am from the mountains, and I have been here since birth. ”
Lu Yueping narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, and then smiled: "How much is a pound of tea that has not been fried." ”
The tea farmer said: "There are twenty, fifty, seventy, fresh tea leaves are almost five catties can be fried into one catty of dried tea leaves." ”
The fat man tugged at the corner of Lu Yueping's shirt and gave him a look.
It probably means that there is not much money left, so find a reason to withdraw first.
Lu Yueping said: "Ten catties of everything, wait for me to go back and fry the flavor and then decide to want that, I want more." I'll have to come back in a few days. ”
On this trip to the mountain, Lu Yueping took out more than 1,000 yuan.
On the way back, the fat man was puzzled: "Third brother, go up and see if there is any theft." I'm sure there's no theft, so let's just plan what to do, what are you going to do with that unjust money. ”
Lu Yueping only said: "It's not a loss, people take us up the mountain, we can't just leave without buying anything, it's a shame." With this amount of money, it will not be difficult to go up the mountain in the future. ”
Xu Bai was more and more puzzled the more he listened to it.
How could these people be so tight on money, and certainly not pretend.
The fat man took them to the vegetable market not far from the rented house, and then took the bus by himself.
Lu Yueping pulled a thousand yuan to Xu Bai and said, "Go in and buy some vegetable rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and go home to cook and eat." ”
Xu Bai can cook, but he doesn't want to cook for him at all.
She didn't take the money, and said nonsense: "I don't know how to cook." ”
Lu Yueping smiled: "The third brother will do it for you." ”
He grabbed Xu Bai's arm, broke her palm and slammed the money into her palm.
Xu Bai's palms were red from this unscrupulous force, he wrinkled his eyebrows and glared at him, and walked towards the market in silence.
Lu Yueping followed her, what Xu Bai bought, he just put on the handbag.
It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon when the two came out of the market.
Lu Yueping carried a large bag of rice on his shoulders, a lot of bags on his two arms, and a cigarette butt at the corner of his mouth.
He squinted at one smoke-soaked eye and walked briskly towards the park.
A hundred catties of rice were easily thrown behind the car, and it did feel like an iron-blooded tough guy.
He stuffed everything into the car, slapped his hands a few times and squinted at Xu Bai and said, "Get in the car." ”
Xu Bai climbed into the co-pilot and leaned his head against the car glass.
After the car drove away, all the sights and people in her eyes flashed.
The huge Hebei, the huge China.
What happened to the man she was missing?
She closed her sour eyes and turned her head to look at Lu Yueping, who was driving.
Beneath the vest is his incomparably strong and compact figure, and his tough side face is always mixed with an incomprehensible sense of mystery.
Xu Bai firmly believes that Lu Yueping will be able to dissect the story of him and Lu Kun sooner or later.
After returning to the rented room, Lu Yueping carried everything and rushed to the door on the east side of the fourth floor.
When Xu Bai went up, everything had been piled up in the kitchen.
Lu Yueping stood in front of the pool, rubbed his hands and said, "I'll cook, you go to the living room to stay." ”
Xu Bai didn't move.
Lu Yueping asked: "What are you doing with the pestle?" ”
Xu Bai asked with some uncertainty: "Are you really good at cooking?" ”
Lu Yueping hooked his lips angrily and said, "It's okay, you can taste it, you know." ”
"Actually, you should be cooking for Haruka right now."
Lu Yueping took out a zucchini from the plastic bag, put it under the water stream to rinse it and said: "Except for my sister and my mother, the third brother has never cooked for other women, and the housework is usually done by Chunxiang." ”
As soon as Xu Bai heard this, he suddenly didn't know how to answer, so he could only turn around and leave.
Lu Yueping shook off the water on the zucchini, looked back at Xu Bai's back, and a sense of happiness that he had never had in his life suddenly appeared.
