Lu Zhengan couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Song Huaishu, whose eyes were flickering but forced himself to be calm. He lowered his head to his ear and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't even open the door after I go home tonight." ”

Seeing that Song Huaishu couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, Lu Zhengan continued: "You say, I listen to you so much, do you have to reward me well when you come back." ”

Song Huai was still curious about what reward Lu Zhengan wanted, but when he realized that Lu Zhengan's hand had been quietly placed somewhere, he couldn't help but glare at him.

"This is at your parents' house, you better be more restrained. In case we are seen by the elders, do we still want our faces?! ”

After that, Song Huaishu only felt that Lu Zhengan's fingers moved, and then the whole body leaned softly on Lu Zhengan's arms. Looking at the other party's evil smile, Song Huaishu gritted his teeth and said, "Promise, promise, you quickly let go of your hand." ”

Lu Zhengan's eyes were a little red when he saw Song Huaishu, and he knew that Song Huaishu would be anxious if he teased him any longer. So, when he was busy, he took his hand out of his shirt with a smile and carefully put Song Huaishu back on the bed.

"Alright, it's really time for me to go. There is a lot of noise at night, and we can't have no one in our family. ”

Song Huaishu was a little angry, and when he heard this, he waved his hand to Lu Zhengan without looking back, signaling him to leave quickly.

Seeing Song Huaishu like this, Lu Zhengan smiled and helped him cover the quilt, and then opened the curtain and walked out of the door.

……

After Lu Zheng'an had dinner and talked to the official media for a while, he wanted to go back to rest, but he didn't expect a thin young man to get a little closer to him.

Lu Zhengan remembered Song Huaishu's warning to him during the day, and the alarm bell suddenly sounded in his heart, and he moved a small stool to Jiang Matchmaker's side.

"It's not early, I still have to work tomorrow, so I won't talk to you. Just put the stool directly at the door, and I'll get up early tomorrow morning to clean it up. ”

Jiang Matchmaker's mother-in-law is an ordinary character, and she has long noticed that several of them look at Lu Zheng'an's eyes a little sticky. However, as I jokingly mentioned before, Lu Zhengan has already started a family. Now that someone was still beating him, Mrs. Jiang's face sank.

"Okay, my mother-in-law shouldn't have been holding you to talk for so long. Hurry up and go back to rest, don't delay your work tomorrow. ”

After saying hello to Mrs. Jiang, Lu Zhengan said hello to several official media, then got up and went home and locked the courtyard door in front of everyone.

As soon as Lu Zheng'an left, Mrs. Jiang took a deep breath, glanced at a few people in the crowd, and said with a smile: "There are thousands of good sons and women in the world, don't always stare at the meat in other people's bowls." ”

Mrs. Jiang's voice fell, and everyone present suddenly burst into laughter. The people who were poked in the heart turned red for a while, and hurriedly dodged to the side under the cover of night.

Lu Zhengan did not know about the episode behind him, so when he returned to his room, he covered his head and fell asleep. It wasn't until dawn that the big cubs in his chicken pen stretched their necks to wake him up, and Lu Zhengan got up.

After he opened the courtyard door, the small bamboo chairs that he lent to Mrs. Jiang last night were neatly placed outside the courtyard. Even the ashes of the plants and trees after the bonfire was completely burned were cleaned.

Lu Zhengan moved his chair back to the yard, mixed food for the little cubs, and then washed himself and walked down the mountain.

By the time Lu Zheng'an came to the bottom of the mountain, Lu Changgen had already gotten up and watched the people in the village start their work. Seeing Lu Zheng'an coming over early in the morning, he hurriedly said: "It's so early in the morning, you don't take care of Huaishu at home, what are you doing running down the mountain?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Zheng'an touched his ears that were cold, and replied: "Isn't it the Mid-Spring Festival these two days, and I sent Huaishu to my father-in-law's house when there was a commotion on the mountain." No, I went down the mountain to pick him up. ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan's explanation, Lu Changgen nodded clearly. "Alright, you can go quickly. It seems that all these saplings will be planted in the afternoon, and it is estimated that there are still two or three hundred vacancies for seedlings. ”

"It's okay, I went to the meeting yesterday and ordered a hundred and ten miscellaneous fruits. It is estimated that it will be delivered tomorrow, and it is okay to plant a little thin, the gap between the fruit trees is larger, and the fruit can be better. ”

Lu Changgen nodded when he heard him say this, and seeing that the sky was about to dawn, he hurriedly urged him to hurry up and pick up Song Huaishu.

Lu Zhengan knew that Song Huaishu should not have gotten up yet, so he turned around and came to the breakfast stall at the entrance of the town, packed two servings of tofu brain, a pound of fried dough sticks, and went to Sun Ji mutton to buy four bowls of mutton soup, which were packed in a food box and delivered to the door of Song's house.

When Lu Zhengan knocked on the courtyard door, Song Xiren was sweeping the courtyard with a broom. Hearing the knock on the door, he thought it was Lu Zhengan who had arrived, so he hurriedly dropped the broom and opened the door.

"Zheng'an, why do you buy so many things?"

After Lu Zhengan saw Song Xiren open the door and called 'father', he hurriedly leaned over and picked up the food box on the ground, and walked sideways into the courtyard.

"When I went to the street and saw that the breakfast stall had been opened, I bought some." Lu Zhengan said as he walked to the kitchen and saw Song Lan coming out of it. Lu Zhengan handed over the tofu brain and fritters he was holding in his hand and asked, "Mother, is Huaishu awake?" ”

"Not yet, I slept a little unsteadily for the past two nights, and I let him sleep a little more in the morning." After that, Song Lan couldn't help frowning as he watched Lu Zhengan bring out the mutton soup in the food box. "You kid, why do you still bring breakfast, I don't have to do anything at home."

"I'm just on the way, I'll go to see Huaishu, you and your father wash your hands and eat first."

When Lu Zhengan came to the back room, Song Huaishu was sleeping soundly with a pillow in his arms. After Lu Zheng'an sat down on the edge of the bed, Xu smelled a familiar smell, and Song Huaishu unconsciously rubbed Lu Zheng'an's side, and after Lu Zheng'an was next to him, he became quiet again.

Because he was worried about coming to pick up Song Huaishu, Lu Zhengan also fell asleep very late, and because he got up early, looking at Song Huaishu who was sleeping sweetly at this time, Lu Zhengan was actually a little sleepy. As soon as he opened his mouth and yawned, Song Huaishu, who heard the sound, slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing Lu Zheng'an sitting on the side of the bed, Song Huaishu stretched out his hand from the quilt and grabbed the hem of Lu Zheng'an's clothes. "Why are you here so early? What time is it? ”

Lu Zhengan saw that Song Huaishu's hair was messy, and reached out to help him smooth it behind his ear. "If you're sleepy, sleep a little longer."

"If you don't sleep, get up and wash up, and it's almost time for breakfast." As he spoke, Song Huaishu sat up with his body propped up, and when Lu Zhengan saw this, he hurriedly took a pillow and put it behind him.

"That's okay, I just bought tofu brain and mutton soup, you get up and wash up just enough to eat."

Helping Song Huaishu get dressed, Lu Zhengan walked out of the room with Song Huaishu, and Song Lan and Song Xiren were preparing face wash for Song Huaishu.

Seeing the two of them coming out of the back room, Song Xiren hurriedly beckoned the two of them and said, "Hurry up and wash your hands, the mutton soup is a little cold, let your mother make a fire and heat it up again." ”

Sun Ji's mutton soup tastes very delicious, and the mutton doesn't taste bad at all. Sprinkle a handful of green garlic and add a few drops of sesame oil to the taste.

Song Xiren liked Sun Ji's mutton soup the most, and he drank a big bowl full of bread and bread after a while.

Song Lanshi was about to get up when he wiped his mouth, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed his sleeve. "Don't be in a hurry to go to the store, put the car in place, and send Huaishu and Zhengan home. By the way, I brought Sun Ji's food box over and returned it, don't let Zheng'an run again. ”

"Our mule cart is too bumpy, and there is no carport, so I still go to the street to call a carriage to come and send Huai Shu back."

With that, Song Xiren hurried out of the courtyard.

Looking at Song Xiren's back, Song Lanshi glanced at the food box he had forgotten on the board, and sighed helplessly. "Your father is really forgetful now, and if he gives him an explanation, he will forget it, and he really doesn't have any problems with him."

"It's okay, we'll just bend it later."

After that, Lu Zhengan picked up the bowl and drank the mutton soup. Seeing this, Song Huaishu immediately pushed the remaining half of his bowl in front of Lu Zhengan. "You eat first, I'll go and pack up my things, so that the car won't come and make people wait."

Song Lanshi saw that Song Huaishu was going to pack up his things, and he was a little uneasy, so he hurriedly got up and wanted to go over to help. However, before she could get up, Lu Zhengan stopped her.

"Mother, sit down first, I have something to tell you."

Hearing this, Song Lan immediately turned his head to look at Lu Zhengan. "What's the matter?"

"At present, Huaishu has been almost six months, and it will be in three months. Do you know which one is more experienced? I think it's better to do this sooner rather than later, and you have to prepare in advance. ”

When Song Lan heard this, his mind was a little blank, and he didn't have a suitable candidate in his mind for a while.

Seeing Song Lan's like this, Lu Zhengan immediately spoke again: "Mother can't think of it, forget it, there are still three months left before Huaishu gives birth, let's inquire slowly." ”

"Okay, when you ask me like this, I really can't think of any suitable person for a while. I'll inquire about Wen Po's affairs slowly, and I'll definitely help you find a reliable one before Huai Shusheng gives birth. ”

Chapter 81

When Song Huaishu followed Lu Zhengan back home, pushed open the door and looked at the familiar courtyard, he only felt a burst of relief in his heart.

When I came back from Song's house this time, I still had half of the carriage stuffed with a large bag. Even the children's clothes, hats, shoes and socks that Song Lan had just made were all packed up.

"Mother is really, afraid that she will starve you, and brought back two bags of rice and noodles."

Song Huaishu pinched his waist and watched Lu Zhengan pour things into the house one by one, and he couldn't help but feel a little outrageous in his heart.

"Yesterday I said I wanted to bring us rice noodles, but I didn't let them. I thought she had listened to it, but I thought she had really brought it back. Forget it, we'll eat it when we bring it back, and we don't have to buy it for the next two months. ”

Song Huaishu picked up a package and was about to send it to the house, when he heard someone calling Lu Zhengan's name at the door, and hurriedly poked his head out to take a look. Seeing that it was Lu Tieniu coming, he immediately greeted Lu Zhengan in the back room.

Hearing that Lu Tieniu was coming, Lu Zhengan hurriedly patted the white flour on his body and walked out of the back room. Seeing Lu Tieniu standing at the door, he asked, "Why is Brother Tieniu here?" But what's the matter? ”

"It's okay, it's just that all our fruit seedlings have been planted, Uncle Changgen asked me to ask you, do you want to go over and have a look."

Lu Zhengan came out of the house, looked at Lu Tieniu and said, "Okay, I'll go and see it in the afternoon." You tell Uncle Changgen, I will marry the big guys in the next two days, so that they don't worry. ”

Hearing this, Lu Tieniu laughed.

"Don't worry, you're still trustworthy. It's almost noon, hurry up and cook for Xiao Song, I'll go back first. ”

Lu Zheng'an sent Lu Tieniu to the side of the mountain road, looked back at Song Huaishu who came out with his stomach up, and turned around and came to him. Raising his finger to the hill that was already full of fruit trees, he looked at Song Huaishu proudly and asked, "How is it?" Doesn't it look good? ”

Song Huaishu looked in the direction of Lu Zheng'an's finger, and saw that the small hill that was originally full of vegetation was now bald, and only the small saplings were bathed in the sun.

"It's a little bare now, but it'll look much better when the branches and leaves grow later. But can these little saplings be sure that they will survive? ”

Hearing Song Huaishu's question, Lu Zhengan smashed his mouth. "This is not guaranteed, but mid-spring is a good time to plant trees, and as long as it doesn't hurt the rhizomes, it's generally fine."

Lu Zhengan walked while talking with Song Huaishu, and the two walked along the mountain road all the way to the top of the mountain. Seeing the smoky peach forest at his feet, Lu Zhengan's eyes were full of anticipation.

"There are a lot of buds in the orchard this year, and as long as there is no shortage of rain, it is estimated that it will be another bumper harvest."

Song Huaishu has always been very convinced of Lu Zhengan, and when he heard him say this, he also nodded.

"Yes, you see, when there was a shortage of rain this year, it happened to be raining, and this year should be a good harvest year. When the fruit is planted and the dried peaches are made, we will be able to slowly recoup some of our capital. ”

Hearing Song Huaishu's words, although Lu Zhengan nodded in agreement, he still had some confusion in his heart. After all, last year's dried peaches were basically bought by the Ji family, and this year we can't just rely on the Ji family. When the dried fruit was ready, he had to find a way to find a few more buyers, and he couldn't just put the treasure on one.

"Well, it's late, are you hungry? Let's go back to cooking, shall we? ”

Song Huaishu only drank half a bowl of mutton soup in the morning, and after going to the toilet a few times, there was basically nothing left in his stomach. Lu Zheng'an didn't mention Song Huaishu and forgot about it, and when he mentioned it now, he felt that his stomach was empty, and he was indeed a little hungry.

"Well, I'm a little hungry indeed. My mother brought back beef with sauce, daylily, fungus and dried shiitake mushrooms at home, so let's eat noodle soup at noon, right? ”

The noodle soup is not complicated, and the ingredients at home are all ready-made, so Lu Zhengan naturally will not disagree.

Holding Song Huaishu and returning home cautiously, Lu Zhengan asked Song Huaishu to sit in the courtyard to rest. I took out dried fungus and dried shiitake mushrooms from the vegetable cabinet, and then went to the back yard to pull out a few green garlic, and after washing them, I soaked a few ingredients and cut them into cubes. After rolling out the noodles, Song Huaishu was called to come in and light the fire.

The two of them cooperated very well in front of and behind the pot, but in two quarters of an hour, a small pot of fragrant beef stew in sauce came out of the pot.

After taking the vigorous hand-rolled noodles from the boiling pot into the clay pot, pouring the marinade on top and sprinkling the green garlic and mixing well, a bowl was served and handed to Song Huaishu.

"I tasted the marinade and it seems to be a little salty, you can taste it, if it doesn't work, eat less, and make you something else to eat in the afternoon."

Song Huaishu was already hungry, took the porcelain bowl handed over by Lu Zheng'an, tasted it, and nodded lightly. "After mixing the noodles, I don't feel salty."

Lu Zhengan saw that Song Huaishu ate sweetly, so he smiled and filled himself a bowl.

……

Since the month is older, Song Huaishu's drowsiness has decreased. Seeing that he was in good spirits, Lu Zhengan asked him to follow him to the backyard to turn over the ground and prepare for planting summer vegetables.

Although Song Huaishu was no longer suitable for squatting, he was a little idle when he watched Lu Zhengan turn the ground in front of him. carried a small bench behind Lu Zhengan and helped him pick up the small grass sprouts that had grown in the vegetable field.

"Brother Tie Niu is here today, but he's here to remind you of your salary? How much silver will it cost this time? ”

Hearing Song Huaishu's question, Lu Zhengan stopped what he was doing, looked at him and replied: "It's the same as last time, it's still thirty taels." Didn't they help them raise a seedling, and I calculated that I would give an extra 20 wen per person. You can't let people work hard for two days. ”

There are a total of about 60 people who help Lu Zhengan to work together, and each person will receive an extra 20 taels of silver.

After Song Huaishu silently calculated the accounts in his heart, he began to worry about whether the money in Lu Zhengan's hand was enough.

However, before he could speak, he heard Lu Zhengan say with a smile: "The fifty taels of silver sent by my father before have not yet started, and the salary for this payment is more than enough." I'll settle the accounts for them when I go down the mountain tomorrow, do you want to come with me? ”

At present, almost everyone in the village knows about Song Huaishu, and when he heard Lu Zheng'an ask, Song Huaishu did not hesitate, nodded and agreed.

The two had not been close for several days, and when night fell, Lu Zhengan coaxed Song Huaishu to fulfill the 'reward' promised that day.
