With that, Lu Ming went home with the grappling hook in a hurry.

Lu Yang looked at his back and couldn't help but pout. "I want to intervene in everything, but I really treat myself as a dish! People have to take care of who they find to live, and they are simply full of food. ”

What happened in the village was naturally unknown to Lu Zhengan on the mountain.

When he took the Song family of three back to his home, Lu Zhengan arranged for them to rest in the hall, and then he went to the back room to change into a set of clean clothes.

"I've been busy working in the fields these days, and the house is a little messy, so I ask my uncle and aunt to take care of it."

The Lu family is alone with Lu Zhengan, and it is not easy to clean up like this at home and outside the house. In addition, it has been the busy farming season recently, and I can't eat when I'm busy, so how can I take care of so much?

"It's not too messy, and besides, it's all my own people, so I'm not so particular. You can rest today, and I'll make it for you later, if you want to eat. ”

Song Lan couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Lu Zheng's peace of mind, and strange people said that the children of poor families were in charge of the family early, and without their parents behind them, life was really difficult.

"Let Huaishu pick out the blood blisters on your hands, release the blood inside, and take some medicine for two or three days." Although the work in the fields is in a hurry, the body cannot be neglected. ”

Listening to the concerned voices of the two elders, Lu Zhengan nodded. "Thank you, uncle and aunt, wait for Huaishu to help me deal with it."

After saying that, Lu Zhengan remembered that the water in the water tank at home seemed to have bottomed out. Then he opened his mouth and said: "Huaishu, you will accompany your uncle and aunt to cool off in the house first, and I will go and fetch two waters to come back, so that I can wait for lunch to be in a hurry." ”

Seeing Song Xiren and Song Lan nodding, Lu Zhengan took the pole and bucket erected under the eaves and walked out.

When Song Huaishu saw Lu Zheng'an's back walking out, he raised his eyes to glance at the expressions of his parents, got up and said, "I'll go over and have a look." Without waiting for the two to react, they hurried after them.

Seeing this, Song Xiren couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hey, the child is too old to stay." ”

……

The water that Lu Zheng'an's family eats has always been mountain spring water flowing from behind the mountain. Although it was farther away than the pool where he had bathed last time, it was better because there were fewer people and he was more comfortable eating at home.

As soon as Lu Zhengan stepped out of the door with a bucket of water, he heard a sudden sound of footsteps behind him. Turning his head, sure enough, it was Song Huaishu who followed.

Seeing him walking all the way, Lu Zhengan simply stopped and waited for him. When he was about to walk to him, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Song Huaishu's wrist.

"Didn't I tell you before, I'm busy at home these days, so I asked you not to run this way. It's good for you, just come by yourself, and the tired uncles and aunts will follow and toss. ”

Listening to Lu Zhengan's reproach, Song Huaishu rarely replied. "I'm glad I'm here, otherwise I wouldn't have known that your hand hurt so badly......"

Song Huaishu said as he flipped the hand that Lu Zhengan was holding his wrist over. Looking at the red and swollen palm, Rao had seen it once before, and he was still in a state of distress.

"Zheng'an, am I being too selfish?"

Hearing Song Huaishu's words, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, stopped and looked at Song Huaishu, and asked strangely: "Selfish?" Why do you say you're selfish? ”

Hearing this, Song Huaishu glanced up at Lu Zhengan and said, "We should have signed a contract after we got engaged, but I selfishly thought that I would wait until after the beginning of spring next year to conclude a contract." If we had made a contract earlier, you wouldn't have worked as hard as you do now. ”

Seeing Song Huaishu's self-blame face, Lu Zheng felt a little funny while feeling pained. He looked up and touched the top of his hair, and said with relief: "What are you thinking about all day long in your little head, so I have always been alone before we made up our minds, haven't we been like this for so many years?" Your hard work is not caused by you, and you don't have to worry about it. ”

After speaking, Lu Zhengan took Song Huaishu's hand again and continued to walk forward, "If you really think that I am hard, you can come and talk to me more often when you have time, and by the way, just make me something delicious." ”

Originally, Lu Zhengan just said it in passing, but Song Huaishu took it seriously. He nodded solemnly and said, "Well, I'll come over as long as I'm free." If ......" said this, Song Huaishu paused, and his hand holding Lu Zheng'an tightened consciously. After giving himself enough courage, he continued: "If you want, you can make the contract earlier. ”

As soon as Song Huaishu said this, Lu Zheng'an seemed to have been immobilized by someone, and immediately stopped, staring at Song Huaishu for a moment, and his whole breathing became a little short.

Song Huaishu, who was already a little nervous, saw Lu Zhengan suddenly stop and hurriedly turned his head to look at his face. However, at this time, Lu Zhengan did not have any expression on his face, but just stared at Song Huaishu with his eyes, as if he was confirming something.

"Huaishu, do you know that I will take this seriously?"

Song Huaishu didn't expect Lu Zheng'an to say this, so he was stunned for a moment and nodded seriously.

"I, I know. At first I wanted to get married again next spring, but I didn't want to see you working so hard alone. Although I can't do much now, I can still do at least the trivial things of eating and living. I can also learn the work from scratch with you, as long as you are willing to teach me. ”

In the morning, after Song Huaishu took over the burden of Lu Zheng's meal, he was thinking about this problem in his mind. In addition to his parents, he was not ready to live together.

However, when he touched the two cold and hard buns in Lu Zhengan's baggage, and even cracked a little by the wind, his original thinking suddenly changed.

If he and Lu Zhengan had been able to settle a contract earlier, perhaps he would not have had to eat cold leftovers. And a generous and considerate person like Lu Zhengan will definitely be able to take care of his parents with him.

Thinking of this, Song Huaishu felt that he could try it, so when Lu Zhengan came out to fetch water with a flat pole, he cheekily followed him and took the initiative to say these words to him.

Seeing that Lu Zheng'an had not spoken for a long time, Song Huaishu's heart sank little by little. "You...... are you unwilling ? If, if you don't want to, then I didn't mention it. ”

Song Huaishu's eyes turned red unconsciously, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Lu Zheng'an's expression again, and even the hand holding Lu Zheng'an slowly let go.

However, at the moment when his fingers were about to leave Lu Zhengan's palm, Lu Zhengan grabbed him back again. The strength was so great that Song Huaishu, who was in pain, couldn't help frowning.

"I didn't reluctant, I just felt too surprised and didn't know what to say for a while."

Song Huaishu saw that Lu Zheng'an's expression did not seem to be fake, and his hanging heart slowly relaxed.

Seeing that his expression relaxed, Lu Zhengan stretched out his hand to comb his wind-blown hair behind him, and at the same time, said softly: "Actually, I hope more than anyone else that we can get together as soon as possible, so that we can be together every day." But I know that you are actually afraid in your heart, so I want us to spend more time with you, so that you can slowly let go of your defense, trust me wholeheartedly, and live with me. ”

"I didn't disbelieve you, I ......"

"But I want to be the person you trust the most." Lu Zhengan didn't wait for Song Huaishu to finish speaking, and immediately interrupted him. "In the past 20 years, my uncle and aunt were the two people you trusted and relied on the most, but I want to try to be the person you trust the most, the first person you will think of when something happens."

When Lu Zhengan said this, he felt a little surprised. After all, when he said this, Lu Zhengan himself felt like a deceitful playboy, but these were indeed his sincere words.

At first, Lu Zhengan just felt that Song Huaishu was quite in line with his vision, no matter what aspect he had.

However, as he slowly came into contact, he felt that Song Huaishu was timid and sensitive, just like the little turtle he had raised before, but whenever he felt any disturbance in the outside world, he immediately shrank into his shell and refused to come out easily.

In the relationship between the two, Lu Zhengan looked at the contradiction that he wanted to get closer, but was afraid of, which made Lu Zhengan feel more and more pity for him and encouraged him to become strong and confident.

However, in the process, Lu Zhengan became more and more interested in this person, and he also cared more and more about him, and he wanted to be with him even more.

Now that God has let him get what he wants, Lu Zhengan naturally cherishes it very much. At the same time, he is more greedy to make himself the most trusted and important person......

Song Huaishu never imagined that Lu Zhengan would say this, let alone that he was in such a position in his heart, and his heart was full of emotion for a while.

The two of them completely opened their hearts and explained things clearly, and when they looked at each other again, they only felt that the relationship between the two of them seemed to be a little closer.

Lu Zhengan touched the top of Song Huaishu's hair as before, and took his hand all the way to the stream where he was going to draw water. As he walked, he kept chattering with Song Huaishu.

"After the stubble is eliminated, I will ask Uncle Changgen and Aunt Changgen to come to the door to ask for an appointment. When the time comes, I will ask my aunt to pick a good day a year ago, and we will do it lively. ”



Hearing Lu Zheng'an's plan, Song Huaishu on the side nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth. "Okay, I'll prepare for the two of us when the time comes, right?"

Lu Zhengan: "Okay, when the time comes, we'll pick the same style, and the effect should be correct." ”

As the two spoke, they came to the edge of the stream, and looking at the gurgling water in the stream, Lu Zhengan pressed the bucket into the water to fill it and brought it up.

"Once we had the contract, we managed to bring the stream directly into the yard. In this case, there is no need to carry a bucket out to carry water to eat. ”

Song Huaishu couldn't help but be a little curious when he heard this, "This stream is sixty or seventy meters away from your house, how can you lead it?" Do you want to make a ditch? ”

Lu Zhengan bent down to fill the second bucket of water and lifted it out of the stream, and when he heard Song Huaishu's words, he raised his chin and motioned for him to look behind him.

"Isn't there material on the hillside behind you?" Seeing that Song Huaishu still didn't understand too much, Lu Zhengan continued to explain: "With bamboo, when the time comes, we can cut down more bamboo, and spread the bamboo joints directly outside our yard." This stream is a mountain spring that does not dry up in all seasons and does not freeze in winter. After bringing the water over, we were able to drown and water the garden. ”

When Song Huaishu listened to Lu Zhengan's words, he felt that the matter of diverting water was not a small project. However, when I thought about it again, I didn't feel that it was hard work with Lu Zhengan, but I had some expectations in my heart.

……

When the two of them returned home with water, Song Lan had already picked the vegetables from the yard behind the house. Seeing the two holding hands and entering the door, a hint of relief flashed in Song Lan's eyes.

"I see that you have been gone for so long and have not returned, so you have taken it upon yourself to cook first. At home, there didn't seem to be much white flour, so I simmered some rice. ”

Lu Zheng'an brought the water into the stove house, and when he heard Song Lan's words, he responded. "Okay, aunt can do anything, I don't pick my mouth."

Song Xiren, who was burning the fire in front of the stove, looked at the newly picked eggplant and beans in the dustpan held by Song Lan, and proposed: "This eggplant is the freshest fresh, let's make a braised eggplant, the weather is too hot, and the beans are refreshing." ”

Hearing Song Xiren say this, Song Lan did not refuse, and when he asked Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu, they had no idea, so they rolled the eggplant to the cut and began to get busy.

Feeling that the light in the stove house was a little dim, Song Lan looked up and saw Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu standing side by side in front of her staring at her like curious babies, and couldn't help but feel funny.

"What are you two doing standing here? The meal will have to wait for a while, and when we came, we brought mung bean cakes, and Huaishu took them out for Zheng'an to fill his stomach first. After saying that, Song Lan continued: "By the way, Zheng'an will treat the blisters on his hands, apply a touch of medicine, and try to get as little water as possible in the past two days. ”

Hearing Song Lan's instructions, the two people standing at the door obediently answered, and then turned around and walked towards the hall.

When he walked to the door of the hall, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but glance back at the direction of the stove house, and saw the busy figures of Song Lan and Song Xiren in the stove house, and he only felt that his heart was full somewhere.

When Song Huaishu saw Lu Zheng'an suddenly stop, he couldn't help but be a little curious: "What's wrong with you?" What are you looking at? ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan turned around and smiled at Song Huaishu and said, "It's nothing, I just think this is what it feels like home." ”

CHAPTER XXXIX

Song Xiren and Song Lan's family seemed to really trust Lu Zheng'an's character, and knew that the blood blisters on his hands were picked and could not be stained with too much water, so they left Song Huaishu in Lu's house, and instructed Song Huaishu to help Lu Zhengan more in the past few days.

Song Huaishu felt sorry for Lu Zhengan, and naturally would not refuse his parents' arrangement. After the two of them sent their parents to the bottom of the mountain, they turned around and went back with Lu Zhengan.

On the way up the mountain, Lu Zheng'an habitually wanted to hold Song Huaishu's hand, but this time Lu Zheng'an had just touched the back of his hand, and Song Huaishu retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but feel a little strange, and immediately stopped and turned his head to look at Song Huaishu.

Song Huaishu didn't understand Lu Zheng'an's thoughts, looked at Lu Zheng'an's palm wrapped in a cloth towel, and said: "Your hand is still hurt, what if you touch it?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan took Song Huaishu's hand strongly, and said dissatisfiedly: "I just hurt my palm, and my fingers are fine." What's wrong with Pulla? Can the wound be aggravated by holding hands? ”

Lu Zhengan's words made Song Huaishu both funny and sweet. However, looking at Lu Zheng'an, who is rarely so childish, although Song Huaishu has a little heart in his heart, he can't bear to refuse.

It's just that when Lu Zhengan holds his hand, he touches the wound in his palm, so he helplessly turns over his palm and replaces him to pull Lu Zhengan's hand. After he held Lu Zhengan's fingers, he asked helplessly, "That's all right?" ”

Lu Zhengan lowered his eyes and glanced at the hand held by Song Huaishu, and nodded with satisfaction. Immediately, Lu Zhengan also noticed that his actions seemed to be a little naïve, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud for a while.

Because Lu Zhengan's hand was blistered, he couldn't do his work these days. However, the work in the field could not be delayed, so he simply took Song Huaishu all the way down the mountain, found Lu Tieniu and Lu Tiezhuan brothers, and asked them to help destroy the wheat stubble of the remaining two acres of land.

The Lu Tieniu brothers were discussing the preparation of going to the next town in Jiang'an to do some work to subsidize the family, and when they saw that Lu Zheng'an wanted them to help the field to eliminate stubble, they agreed without thinking about it.

"Then the two brothers have to worry a lot, and the wages are still paid according to the previous when they made dried peaches. When that's over, I'll come back and bring the money to my two brothers. ”

Hearing this, Lu Tieniu and Lu Tiezhuan brothers couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "That's all you need to say, and what kind of wages will you pay?"

"The two brothers also spent their efforts, didn't they? We'll have a long time to get along with in the future, so you don't have to be polite to me. ”

Seeing Lu Zhengan say this, Brother Lu Tieniu couldn't say anything more. Seeing that Lu Zhengan got up with Song Huaishu to leave, he hurriedly followed and sent the two to the door.

Just as Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu turned around to leave, Lu Tiezhuan on the side frowned and hesitated, and then opened his mouth to stop Lu Zhengan. "My family pickled a jar of sugar garlic in the spring, and now it's a delicious time, so I'll wrap a few heads for you and eat them when you go back."

As he spoke, Lu Tiezhuan nodded to Lu Zheng'an.

With Lu Zhengan's understanding of Lu Tieshui, he knew that this person was not a person of many words, and he would not be so enthusiastic for no reason. And seeing that his eyes flickered, he seemed to have something to say to him, so Lu Zhengan instructed Song Huaishu to wait for him outside the door, and then went back to his house with Lu Tieshu.

After entering the stove house of Lu Tiezhuan's house, Lu Zhengan didn't wait for Lu Tiezhuan to speak, so he asked straight to the point: "Brother Tiezhuan has something to tell me?" ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan say this, Lu Tiezhuan nodded. "Uncle Si quarreled with Uncle Changgen this morning."

Lu Tieshui's voice fell, and Lu Zhengan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Lu Changgen has always been kind to others, and he has never blushed with others easily. And Lu Tiezhuan is not an eventful person, so he told himself about it in such a way, obviously this matter is related to him.
