"Lingzi, your yard is really cool."

Han Chuang sat on the stone bench, chewed melon seeds and sighed comfortably.

He was so overheated on the way here just now that he couldn't even wait for the tea Wang Susu had brewed to cool down, so he ran to the water pressure well, bent over and squeezed the water out while pouring it into his mouth. After drinking it, he felt better.

A little more.

"There are many trees in the mountains, and we also have a large reservoir here, which makes it a little cooler."

Chen Ling smiled and then gently kicked the little rabbit away from his feet.

These little things are like this. They are not afraid of strangers when outsiders come. They still stick to Chen Ling's side, lying on their front and back. Their little bodies are so hot that it makes him feel like he is wearing cotton shoes. After a long time

My feet were sweating.

Only then did Han Chuang notice the rabbit at Chen Ling's feet, and he suddenly let out a strange cry.

"It's a rabbit, Xiaoqing, look, little rabbit."

Jiang Xiaoqing has noticed it a long time ago, but her family is also from a rural area. Although she has a mother who is a teacher in a county middle school, she grew up in a rural area and has long been used to this.

Seeing how clingy the little rabbit was to Chen Ling, I knew that this litter of little rabbits must have been raised by Chen Ling.

Han Chuang was surprised for a while. He stood up and squatted on the ground, staring at the little rabbits with his big copper bell-like eyes. After a while, he cautiously tried to reach out and touch them, but the little rabbits didn't even hide.

This guy made Han Chuang, a tall and tall young man, very curious for a while.

He picked up the two little rabbits and gave them a silly laugh at Jiang Xiaoqing.

Jiang Xiaoqing's face got hot when she saw his attitude. She felt so embarrassed that she couldn't help but kicked him hard under the stone table.

Han Chuang then smiled sarcastically, put down the rabbit, and then said to Chen Ling: "I saw that your family has two such big dogs. I thought they were a litter of puppies just now, but I didn't expect them to be little rabbits."

"You like rabbits, Chuangzi. If you like rabbits, I'll catch some for you when the cubs are born."

Chen Ling thought of the way he held the rabbit just now and refused to let go, so he said.

"That, that, that's good."

When Han Chuang heard this, he immediately nodded excitedly.

But after nodding, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly turned his face to look at Jiang Xiaoqing's face.

Chen Ling couldn't help but laugh. He really didn't expect that Han Chuang, a tall guy, would be afraid of acting like a bear once he had a wife.

Wang Susu also smiled a little when she saw this, feeling that her husband's friend seemed a bit silly.

But that's fine, as we won't be afraid of Chen Ling suffering a disadvantage when we get along with him.

She would not be at ease if she were to associate with someone like Chen Erzhu.

"Whatever do you want to eat for lunch? Lamb, pork, fish and shrimp are all available..."

Chen Ling saw that it was almost ten o'clock, so he had to prepare lunch early. People came from all the way, so he had to save food today.

"By the way, there are still rice dumplings in the well. I'll go and pull them out."

Han Chuang and Jiang Xiaoqing repeatedly told Chen Ling to stop working and just talk and have a casual chat. They were not outsiders.

That being said, that's not what happened.

Chen Ling walked to the well, pulled out the rice dumplings, and asked Wang Susu to steam the remaining ten or so rice dumplings in the basket.

In fact, he and Wang Susu have been eating these days, but Liang Hongyu gave too much, filling a big basket full, and after three or four days of eating, there were still about ten left.

"Chuangzi, let's go, I'll take you to touch the shrimps."

After steaming the rice dumplings, Chen Ling greeted Han Chuang and walked out carrying the bamboo basket and net bag.

Han Chuang first asked Jiang Xiaoqing if she was going. When she didn't go, he followed Chen Ling out of the door.

"Susu, please stay at home with Xiaoqing."

"I know, don't worry."

On the way to the reservoir, I saw that many families in the village had their daughters returning home. Some of them might be far away, but they only arrived home at almost ten o'clock in the morning.

Wearing headscarves and carrying dolls, they all stopped to say hello and chat with people from the same village.

What surprised Chen Ling was that someone actually wanted to talk to him, and asked him to call her uncle by holding the doll. However, Chen Ling looked at the doll for a long time but could not identify whose family the girl was married to, which made Han Chuang laugh a lot.

He took Han Chuang to the reservoir and touched a bamboo basket full of crayfish. When he came back, he met that boy Chen Ze and forced him to give him some eels. Only then did Chen Ling realize that the person who had just spoken to him was Chen Ze's sister Chen Fang.

The enthusiasm of these two siblings made Chen Ling strangely embarrassed.

Especially Chen Ze, when he went out to work after high school, he helped him to say good things to his boss several times. Unfortunately, Chen Ling was so unsatisfactory before that he didn't work hard himself, which also caused others to lose their jobs.

In the past, Chen Ze had always hated him in his heart. He wouldn't talk to him when we met, and he wouldn't even look at him. But when he started to get better, this young man of his generation took the initiative to resolve the small feud at the beginning.

Originally, Chen Ling thought that even if there was no holiday, they would just be acquaintances.

Unexpectedly, it was just a meeting. Knowing that Chen Ling's family was entertaining guests, this boy just handed over a few eels.

Chen Ling was also quite emotional for a while.

After returning home and cleaning up the fish and shrimp, Chen Ling thought about going to Cui Laizi's to cut two kilograms of pork, but before he left, someone else came.

"Uncle Fugui, I heard that you were entertaining guests and asked me to bring you some melons."

Liu Nier walked into the yard with a bunch of little children, each holding a large watermelon with flower skin in her arms.

"Oh, come in, come in."

Seeing this posture, Chen Ling hurriedly took Wang Susu and Han Chuang to pick him up.

"This guy, you Tatsuya is so serious, why did you bring it so far away? If I want to eat it, I can just go to the melon field and pick it myself."

"It's okay, Uncle Fugui, we can move it."

Liu Nier wiped the sweat from her forehead, sniffed and laughed.

Little children in rural areas run around all day long, and usually start helping with farm work at the age of six or seven, so they have a lot of strength.

But when Chen Ling saw it, he still couldn't help but feel a little unbearable. Now the watermelon has grown in size, and it basically weighs seven or eight pounds. He asked the children to carry the seven or eight pound melon back from the field and then walk half a mile.

village.

Chen Ling was really afraid of tiring them.

He quickly walked to the well and filled a large basin of water.

"Come, come and wash your hands and faces."

"Liu Ni'er, please stop hiding behind me and come here and wash yourself properly. Look at your nose, it's getting harder to wipe away every day."

The other little dolls had all been washed obediently, and Liu Nier came over reluctantly.

"I don't want to wash my face. I think washing my face will hurt."

"Stop talking nonsense. Your face is covered with sweat and snot. Come and wash it quickly."

Chen Ling reached out and pulled him over, pressed him to the edge of the basin and started washing him.

After washing, Wang Susu brought towels and asked them to wipe their hands and faces clean one by one, and then brought stools for them to sit down and rest.

Later, when he saw that Xizi's finger was cut by a melon seed and was still bleeding after washing it with water, he went outside the wall and pulled two red silk grass, chewed it, helped the little girl apply it on the wound, and then took it from the house.

Come and wrap it up with a strip of cloth.

Red silk grass, also known as Dijin grass, is a common hemostatic grass in rural areas. It looks a bit like purslane. It is very effective in stopping bleeding when you are bumped or scratched.

"Thank you Aunt Susu."

Xizi pinched her bandaged fingers, blushed, and whispered.

Wang Susu rubbed Xizi's little head and smiled: "We eat here at noon. Your uncle Fugui is making delicious food today."

"I can't. Ida said that Uncle Fugui has to entertain guests and won't let me bother you here."

When Liu Nier heard that Chen Ling was going to cook a meal, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Chen Ling's cooking was delicious, and they knew better than anyone else.

But Wang Lixian had told him, but he didn't have the guts to stay here.

After saying that, he turned around and ran out with a bunch of little kids.

"Hey, don't go, why is your kid running so fast?"

Seeing that he couldn't stay, Chen Ling had no choice but to catch up and give each of them a handful of candies.

"Liu Ni'er, why don't you go home to pick the watermelon when it's ripe?"

"Pick it, we'll pick it the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid the rain will soak the melons, so I'm going to pick them early."

The weather is changeable around the time when the wheat is ripe, and it often rains heavily. If the watermelons are soaked in the ground, they will lose their sweetness and will be difficult to sell, so the price will have to be lowered.

Chen Ling nodded when he heard this and remembered it in his heart.

Wang Lixian asked the children to bring watermelons, but he definitely couldn't give money to them. The two families were close and couldn't always use money to measure it, so he just wrote down this favor and went to help when Wang Lixian's family collected the melons.

That’s it.

Back in the yard, Chen Ling soaked two large watermelons in a bucket, tied them with a rope and lowered them into the well.
