One is afraid that she will think too much, and the other is also worried that she will follow.

However, Song Xiren never lied to his wife, and now when he heard her ask, Song Xiren sighed in his heart and told her about Song Huaishu's appointment with someone.

"Huaishu went out in the morning, I'm afraid I should be back soon."

As Song Huaishu's mother, Song Lan naturally knows her children very well. Although Song Xiren only said a few words about Song Huaishu's appointment with people, Song Lanshi heard other meanings.

"Huaishu and that little brother of the Lu family are very compatible?" After Song Huaishu became sensible, he didn't have much contact with outsiders, let alone friends who could go out together.

Now that Song Lanshi heard that Song Huaishu would go out with his newly met friend, he naturally felt strange in his heart, and when he saw his husband's expression, he also seemed worried, so he couldn't help but ask more.

Although Song Xiren was reluctant to say it, he could not deny that Song Huaishu was indeed much happier when he got along with Lu Zhengan. At this time, when he heard his wife's inquiry, he also nodded.

Song Lanshi knew that Song Huaishu wanted to find a woman to marry and live normally in this life, but if he found a man to form a contract, he was worried that he would not want to wronged him in his heart.

Now that there is really a person with their own children in line with their eyes, Song Lan's heart, who originally felt that there was little hope, suddenly became active.

Turning his head sideways and looking at Song Xiren next to him with a hung head and a sad expression, Song Lanshi reached out and pulled his sleeve and asked, "You and Huaishu have been to the Lu family, what is the character of that little brother of the Lu family?" ”

Although Song Xiren didn't want Song Huaishu to have too close contacts with Lu Zhengan, it could not be denied that Lu Zhengan's character was really good. So when he heard his wife ask, he nodded honestly. "Warm and kind, not bad."

When Song Lanshi heard Song Xiren's evaluation, his heart suddenly moved, and he continued to ask, "Then did you ever have a family?" Who is in the family? ”

Song Xiren saw that his wife asked in such detail, where was there anything he didn't understand. But let his children really form a bond with others, Song Xiren is still reluctant. "What are you asking about this, it's almost time for the government to investigate the case."

Seeing that Song Xiren was vague and reluctant to speak, Song Lanshi immediately became a little anxious. "Do you want to say it?! If you don't say it, then I'll inquire myself. ”

Song Xiren saw that his wife really got up from the stool, and he suddenly had no choice. Hurriedly got up and helped her shoulder to sit down, and said in a very helpless tone: "Oh, you see what you are anxious about, I don't want to tell you." ”

After that, Song Xiren raised his eyes and saw his wife squinting at him with a displeased expression, and he no longer went around the bend with her.

"The kid of the Lu family is about the same age as our family's Huaishu, and he has not yet been married. His relatives are no longer there, and he is the only one left to live alone. ”

Song Xiren glanced at his wife's slowly stretched eyebrows, and continued: "Speaking of which, you also know this kid's grandfather, it is Lu Chuan Lu's old man. ”

"Old man Lu Chuanlu?" Song Lan muttered softly, and then remembered who this person was. Thinking that Mr. Lu has been teaching and educating people in the village all his life, and his character is even more reputable, he is also a little more satisfied with Lu Zheng'an.

It's just that she is satisfied with herself, but she doesn't know what the child of the Lu family has of his family's Huaishu......

Thinking of this, Song Lanshi reached out and pushed Song Xiren's shoulder. "Do you know where Huaishu made an appointment with him?"

"It was said that the two of them were going to the vegetable market street to buy some chickens and ducklings to raise, so I guess they went to the vegetable market street."

Speaking of this, Song Xiren was dissatisfied, how could the Lu family kid say that he also had a weak crown. I went to the vegetable market street to buy a chicken cub, and I had to let his family Huaishu accompany him, and I don't know what his intentions were!

Song Lanshi didn't know what Song Xiren was thinking in his heart, and when he heard him say this, he immediately urged: "Huaishu hasn't come back yet, so the little brother of the Lu family shouldn't have gone back yet." When you look for them outside, you say that in order to thank the little brother of the Lu family for sending food, invite him back for a light meal. ”

CHAPTER IX

After buying chickens and ducks, Lu Zhengan saw that the goose seedlings in the stall next to him were good, so he bought four more by the way.

Looking at the little things huddled together in the back basket, the idea of inviting Song Huaishu to dinner could only be dispelled. Although there has been a lot of wheat straw in the back basket, this group of small things can not talk about martial arts, and they have to walk several miles to go home.

At this time, the sun had risen in mid-air, and Song Huaishu's fair face was slightly reddened. Lu Zhengan, who couldn't help it, stuffed half a basket of eggs bought in advance into Song Huaishu's hands.

"It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back. These eggs will go back to my uncle and aunt to make up for themselves, and I will play with them when I have time another day. ”

Where is Song Huaishu willing to ask for this half basket of eggs, "No merit is not accepted, I can't accept this egg." ”

Just as the two were pushing around, Song Xiren, who had a black face, walked towards this side with his hands behind his back. Seeing that the two seemed to be arguing about something on the street corner, Song Xiren thought that the two had a quarrel, and immediately walked over quickly.

When Lu Zhengan saw Song Xiren coming, he bent down and put the basket on the ground, and made a junior salute to Song Xiren, and then said, "Uncle Song came out, but what do you want to buy?" The hour is not early, so I will not delay you, and I will come to visit you when I have time later. ”

Seeing that Lu Zhengan was leaving, Song Xiren thought of the purpose of his coming out, and although he felt awkward, he still opened his mouth and said: "Seeing that it's almost noon, why don't you go to the house for a light meal." ”

Lu Zhengan carried a basket of cubs on his back and smiled at the Song father and son: "If there is still something to do at home, I won't leave much, and I will go back when I have the opportunity in the future." ”

Song Huaishu saw that Lu Zhengan was leaving, and wanted to stuff back half a basket of eggs on the ground, but when he saw that his father's face seemed to be a little uncomfortable, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Father, aren't you taking care of your mother at home? How did it come out? ”

Song Xiren didn't want Song Huaishu to know the plans of the two of them, so when he asked, he made an excuse at random.

"Your mother said she wanted to eat fish, I'll come out and see if there's any."

After that, Song Xiren glanced at his son, whose face was softened, and asked casually, "What did you just give up with the little brother of the Lu family?" Seeing that your face is red in a hurry, I thought he was bullying you. ”

Hearing this, Song Huaishu subconsciously touched his slightly hot face, bent down and lifted the basket on the ground, and raised it to his father.

I accompanied him to the vegetable market, and Lu Zhengan gave him half a basket of eggs. I didn't help much, how could I accept such a valuable gift. ”

Song Xiren felt a stump in his heart when he heard this, and carefully recalled that Lu Zhengan was humble and polite, kind and generous, and this kind of conduct can be regarded as a count.

But since seeing his son, who has never liked to be close to people, treat him differently, Song Xiren has always felt uncomfortable in his heart......

Thinking about it like this, Song Xiren always felt that he had a little villain's heart. But now is not the time to think about this, after all, I am with my wife's instructions.

Fortunately, Lu Zhengan went back to his own family in advance, not that he was unwilling to invite him. Thinking like this, Song Xiren's heart suddenly became less entangled.

glanced at the half basket of eggs that Song Huaishu was holding in his hand, and reached out to take it. "You go to the market and see if there are any fish, and I'll go home first."

Song Huaishu did not doubt him, so he turned around and went to the vegetable market street.

……

When Lu Zhengan returned home with a basket of chickens, ducks and geese, it was almost noon.

At this time, the weather is already a little hot, and the little ones who are a little wilted in the sun are put in the shade. Lu Zhengan went to the warehouse to find a worn-out bamboo sweep and rolled it into a circle and fixed it with a rope, and then released the cubs in the back basket.

The little cubs who were released had obviously not adapted to such a large space outside, and they twisted their necks to look around one by one, looking a little nervous. However, after standing there and observing for a while, he realized that there was no danger, and began to flutter his arms and spread joy in the simple circle.

Lu Zhengan squatted aside, watching these little guys running around like woolen balls, and couldn't help but reach out and touch one of the tender yellow chickens, the fluffy touch made the corners of Lu Zhengan's mouth uncontrollably rise.

Sitting at the door and resting for a while, I remembered that the eldest lady who sold the chickens said that she should feed these little cubs with water and food regularly. Lu Zhengan got up and went to the kitchen to find a larger plate, picked up some water, and took out the leftover small rice from yesterday from the cupboard and put it on a plate.

Seeing that the little ones were full one by one and began to sleep with their eyes closed, Lu Zhengan remembered that he hadn't eaten yet.

Because he is the only one in the family, Lu Zhengan can make do with eating on weekdays. All the remaining rice from yesterday had been contributed to the cubs, and there was nothing left in the cupboard except for two dry cracked buns.

Seeing that the time was not early, Lu Zhengan didn't want to do anything else, so he boiled water and stirred two bowls of gnocchi for himself, and lost a handful of vegetables.

By the time the kitchen was cleaned up, the sun was already setting in the west.

Now that the rain has passed, the wheat seedlings in the field have been pumped and long baled, and these few days should be the time for tasseling.

Lu Zhengan has been pouring out the vegetable garden behind him for several days, and he has no time to see how the wheat field is doing. I was free today, so I cleaned up and locked the door and went down the mountain to Donggang.

At this time, the wheat seedlings in the field have grown to the depth of thighs, and from a distance it looks like a green sea, and the breeze blows through the waves of wheat surging forward, which is very spectacular.

Lu Zhengan found his wheat field with his memory, and when he saw that the wheat seedlings were rising well, he bent down and opened the wheat ridge and saw that there were no weeds in it, so he was relieved.

However, after the ears are produced, you must also pay attention to whether there are insects on the wheat ears, if you are negligent and not pay attention to them later, the insects on the wheat ears can infect the entire wheat field. If the particles are not harvested, the yield will be seriously reduced, which is tantamount to working hard for more than half a year.

Lu Zhengan walked back and forth along the wheat ridge, pulled out the oats in the field that competed with wheat for nutrients, and walked back.

Now the sun was high, and there was no one in the fields. Lu Zheng'an, who came out of the wheat field, broke the plucked oats into bundles, and then came to the stream to wash the soil on his hands.

Xu is just a small ditch, and there are not many ordinary people. When Lu Zhengan squatted down, he found that there were a lot of fish and shrimp in the ditch, and when he saw someone coming, the fish that were originally in groups suddenly scattered and plunged into the mud and never dared to come out again.

Looking at the small fish with the thickness of a thumb, Lu Zhengan recalled the sour and spicy spicy fish soup he had drunk before, and his greedy saliva was about to flow out.

It's just that the fish and shrimp in the river are plump, but this time he didn't bring the tools he came over. If you want to fish with your bare hands, I'm afraid that it won't be enough to eat until dark.

Just when Lu Zhengan was looking at the river and sighing, he suddenly heard a voice not far away, Lu Zhengan stood up and took a look, only to see Li Erwang in the village carrying a bamboo basket and driving two sheep to the hillside.

Li Erwang didn't expect that there would be someone at this point, and when he saw Lu Zheng'an, who suddenly poked his head out of the ditch, he was suddenly startled.

After seeing who the other party was, Li Erwang stroked his chest that was pounding with fright, and said with a smile: "Hehe, who should I be, this scared me a lot." Why did Brother Xiao An go to the ground at this time? ”

Lu Zhengan was about to give up the plan to catch fish, but his eyes lit up when he saw the bamboo basket on Li Erwang's arm. "I haven't been to the field for a few days, so I'll come over this afternoon if I'm fine."

Lu Zhengan has been silent since the death of Old Man Lu, and he has not had much contact with anyone except the village head, Lu Changgen.

Li Erwang is too honest, and there are not many people in the village who are willing to talk to him.

At this time, Li Erwang didn't expect Lu Zhengan to talk to him, and after being stunned for a while, he couldn't help but feel a little flattered. He immediately smiled and said, "Oh, oh, come and see, why don't I go to the hillside to herd sheep." ”

Lu Zhengan listened to Li Erwang speak, and his eyes wandered around the bamboo basket on his arm again, "Are you going to mow the grass?" I just plucked a big bundle of oats from the field and fed them to your livestock. ”

Although oats compete with wheat for nutrients, they are a good thing to feed livestock. Li Erwang's family not only raised two sheep, but also fed a lot of chickens, ducks and geese. Don't look at these things as small, but the consumption at the end of the day is a lot.

Li Erwang's family does not have much land, so he can only cut some grass every day when he goes out to herd sheep, so he can also save a lot of food.

Seeing that Lu Zhengan generously gave him a bundle of oats, Li Erwang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Scratching his head innocently, he said, "Then, I'll send you two when our ducks lay eggs." ”

"I don't need duck eggs, but can I borrow your bamboo basket to use them. I see that the fish and shrimp in this ditch grow very well, and I want to catch some and stew some at home. ”

As soon as Lu Zhengan's words came out, Li Erwang thought that he had misheard. You must know that Lu Zhengan didn't like to talk or talk before, and he had never seen him go down to the river to fish and catch shrimp.

However, seeing that Lu Zhengan's expression was serious, not like a joke, Li Erwang immediately took off the bamboo basket on his arm, and then delivered it to Lu Zhengan at a trot.

"Hey, if you don't want to borrow it, just use it."

After that, Li Erwang looked back at the sheep that had already run to other people's wheat fields, and immediately changed his face, and while chasing the lamb, he said to Lu Zhengan: "Brother Xiaoan, I'll drive the sheep to the hillside first, and I'll help you when I come back." ”

Lu Zhengan carried the bamboo basket and saw Li Erwang running away, took off his shoes and socks by the ditch, pulled up his trouser legs, and then carefully went down to the ditch.

At this time, although it is the height of spring, the stream is still a little cold. As soon as Lu Zheng'an stepped into the water, he was immediately shivered by the river ice. However, when he saw the schools of fish scattered in the ditch due to fright, Lu Zhengan didn't care about anything else, and immediately took the bamboo basket as a fishing net and began to net the fish.

It's just that there are a lot of fish in this ditch, but they are all very shrewd. Lu Zhengan only caught more than ten of them for a long time, and there were a lot of river shrimp, but this thing had a huge bouncing ability, and by the time Lu Zhengan poured the river shrimp out of the bamboo basket, this little thing had already jumped out......

Lu Zhengan, who had been fishing for a long time and had mediocre results, held on to his sore waist and couldn't help but be a little discouraged. Just when I couldn't help but want to give up, I suddenly heard a chuckle from the ditch.

Lu Zhengan looked up, and the person was Li Erwang who turned back.

Chapter X

Lu Zhengan turned his head and saw Li Erwang squatting on the ridge of the field holding a face, bending his eyes and looking at him with sneering and laughing. "Brother Xiao An, you can't catch fish like this."

Li Erwang saw that Lu Zhengan was frowning and seemed to be a little unhappy, so he stood up, patted the dust on his pants, and learned Lu Zhengan to take off his shoes and socks. After walking five meters away, he descended the river slope into the water.

Lu Zhengan saw that he was hunched over, digging a lot of river mud from the bottom of the river to stop that place directly, and he didn't understand what he was going to do. It wasn't until more and more river mud blocked the flow that Lu Zhengan understood Li Erwang's intentions.

"Brother Xiaoan, throw the basket over, you start from there."

Li Erwang washed the mud off his hands, got up and waved his hand to Lu Zhengan.

Lu Zheng'an understood, shook the water on the bamboo basket and threw the bamboo basket in front of Li Erwang. When the other party was ready, he picked up a corn stalk from the ditch and muddied the water with the corn stalk as he walked forward.
