Chapter 631: Single-mindedness (43)

She lowered her eyes lightly, gently turned a page, at this moment, there was the sound of digging soil in her ears, she looked through the window, but saw Luo Li digging a pit, and there were several half-height peach saplings beside him.

He dug the pit one by one, the sun was like fire, and he was sweating all over, wetting his back clothes, and his smooth forehead shimmered, sliding down his cheeks finely and densely, and finally dripping into the pit.

Xi put down the book lightly and walked downstairs.

"The tree hasn't been planted yet, but you watered it first." She picked up a peach sapling and said with a smile, "Why did you think of planting a peach tree?"

He lifted the hem of his clothes and wiped the sweat beads on his face: "Plant it for you to eat, your own peaches are full of moisture, and they will be sweeter than those on the street when the time comes, and you can eat as much as you want."

Xi was silent, a circle of waves splashed in the depths of her phoenix eyes, she looked at the sunflower seeds in the pot on the side, raised her eyebrows and said, "You still want to plant sunflowers?"

"Hmm." He picked up a handful of dirt and said, "I don't know if I can live here, so let's try."

The woman didn't speak again, the cigarette in her hand had burned to the butt, and there was a burning sensation, and she snuffed it out.

At this time, Xiao Ash bit her tail and ran over, biting her trouser legs, and swaying back and forth.

Luo Li put down the hoe, pulled it aside, and threatened a few words before walking back.

He took the sapling in her hand and put it into the dirt pit, pulled the soil into it with his foot, stepped on it a few times to make a concave arc, and then carried a plastic bucket to water it inside.

Xi Qing watched him busy, his ink eyes were a little moved, and finally he sighed and went upstairs.

The man stopped his movements and looked over, his fists slowly clenched, and his thin lips pursed into a straight line, as if he was suppressing some unspeakable emotion.

Luo Ying came out for a walk after finishing her homework, and saw him planting trees, and ran over excitedly, followed by Rhubarb and Little Ash.

The two dogs and one person had strange expressions, she circled around the people, touched her chin and guessed, "Brother, did you plant this tree for Teacher Xi?"

"Hmm."

"You said Teacher Xi likes to eat peaches." The little girl looked at the pot of raw melon seeds again: "I said why did you suddenly buy me melon seeds to eat, so that's the case." She said a little bitterly and said, "Brother, you are so biased."

"Don't you eat it too?"

"Can that be the same? The point is not whether I ate it or not, but that you bought it specifically for others, and I took it by the way."

"She's not someone else."

"......" Luo Ying glared at him, "Brother, can you listen to the point?"

"That's the point." Very heavy.

「……」

Luo Ying deeply felt that his brother had a daughter-in-law and forgot his sister, and there was an obstacle to communication, she grinded her teeth, took the little gray ash to the village for a walk, and Rhubarb chased behind, wagging her tail happily.

By the window on the second floor, Xi Qing watched this scene lightly, his dark eyes were complicated, the cigarettes in his hands were one after another, and the wisps of smoke drilled through the gaps, drifting into the distance, and finally disappeared with the wind, leaving nothing.

It took a long time for her to extinguish her cigarette butt and look through the textbook for a while.

Luo Li was busy until the moon was rising, he hurriedly took a cold shower, and when he came out again, the main house had already served a hot meal, he sat next to Xi Qing, sandwiched a few dishes for her, and then bowed his head to eat by himself, and there was no communication between the two.

Xi Qing didn't know what to say, he talked too much, and he was bored, so he couldn't find an entry point.

The other three people at the dinner table looked at the two from time to time, and finally Chen Yulian opened her mouth and said with a smile, "How is Teacher Xi staying this month? Can you get by?"

"Good."
