Maotou turned around and found Zhou Qian's face flushed red. "Sister-in-law, why is your face red again?"

Zhou Qian felt like he was being held on a fire rack. He took a deep breath and said with forced composure, "Don't you... feel hot?"

Maotou tugged at his collar and muttered to himself, "It seems a little bit."

"Let's go downstairs and eat." In order to prevent Lu Jing from saying anything frightening again, it is better to leave first.

"By the way, what appetizer did sister-in-law give Brother Jing?"

"Eat shit."

Maotou widened his eyes, then turned to look at the person sitting on the ground, his eyes seemed to be asking: Did you really eat it?

Lu Jing frowned and glared back at him coldly.

Maotou didn't dare to offend the man who had eaten shit, so he quickly followed Zhou Qian out of the room.

…

After lunch, Zhou Qian resolutely refused to go upstairs. He asked Maotou to bring a bowl of porridge to Lu Jing, and even went to the vegetable garden to pick some radishes and made him a refreshing side dish.

Maotou's mother also made a smashed cucumber.

Perhaps it was because his temperature had dropped a little, or because of the refreshing side dishes, but Lu Jing drank the entire bowl of porridge.

In the afternoon, Zhou Qian helped Maotou's mother renovate the vegetable garden. Under the guidance of Maotou's mother, he learned how to plant garlic, coriander, and lettuce.

The afternoon passed quickly.

During this time, she quietly went upstairs to observe Lu Jing's condition. Perhaps he had not rested for the whole morning, so he slept very soundly in the afternoon.

He didn't wake up when Zhou Qian took his temperature, but it was still high.

Maotou and his friends said they were going out fishing, and if they had a good catch, they would have a barbecue in the evening.

Zhou Qian was really looking forward to their bountiful harvest. It would be fun to barbecue in a small farmyard like this without getting complaints about environmental pollution.

Before dark, Maotou and Xiaohuzi lived up to their expectations and brought back their afternoon's spoils.

Zhou Qian looked at the rich variety of fish and shrimp in the bucket and couldn't believe that they were caught.

"Could it be that you didn't catch any and were afraid of being embarrassed, so you went to the market to buy some?" Zhou Qian glanced at them suspiciously.

Maotou immediately stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, what you said is not very authentic. Just based on our honest faces, how can we be the kind of people who are cunning and scheming?"

That's true.

Zhou Qian looked at the big crabs in the other basket again, still unconvinced. He went up to Xiao Hui and asked, "Did they really catch them?"

Xiaohui looked at her and said, "Why are you making such a fuss? This little thing is nothing in our countryside."

Zhou Qian was shocked again. There were hundreds of crabs in the city, no one could resist crayfish, and a pot of stewed fish in an iron pot was hard to come by, but here all you needed was a fishing net.

Zhou Qian was envious, "Where did you catch it? Take me there tomorrow."

"Sister-in-law, do you want to go fishing too?"

"Are you going tomorrow? If so, take me with you." Zhou Qian was indeed a little curious about how they caught so many delicious foods.

"No problem, as long as you want to go, we can go tomorrow."

"Then it's settled."

Next, Zhou Qian volunteered to join the task of killing fish and cleaning crabs and lobsters.

Maotou's mother didn't let her kill the fish, saying that fish was fishy and small fish were difficult to kill. She asked her to catch crabs instead and told her to be careful not to get pinched.

Zhou Qian watched Maotou for a while before trying to take action. As soon as she stretched out her hand, the lobsters and crabs stretched out their claws and fangs towards her.

She pulled her hand back in fear.

Maotou laughed beside him, "Sister-in-law, I think you'd better not do it. If you hurt Brother Jing, he'll scold me."

"What's it to him?" Zhou Qian no longer emphasized that Maotou should not call her sister-in-law, because it was useless after emphasizing it for the whole afternoon.

"Of course it's Jing's business. He'll be sad if you get hurt."

Zhou Qian coughed awkwardly, "Hurry up and get to work. Big Fatty has already set up the fire and the grill, but we're not ready yet."

Zhou Qian tried to catch a lobster again, and this time with her unremitting efforts, she finally succeeded in catching one.

Once you find the technique, it's not that difficult to get started. Zhou Qian's speed is getting faster and faster, and the others are not idle either. They finished it in a short while.

Perhaps she was a little too proud of herself. When Zhou Qian saw a large lobster trying to escape, she couldn't help but tease it. She didn't know what went wrong, and the lobster's claws suddenly started attacking her.

"ah……"

Zhou Qian screamed in pain as his finger was pinched.

The people who were working were frightened out of their wits by her shout.

"What's wrong, sister-in-law?" Maotou was the first to run to her.

"Hurry, hurry, help, help..."

Zhou Qian's middle finger was also pinched at this moment. She shook her hand desperately, but the lobster refused to let go. She was in so much pain that tears were about to fall.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

When Maotou saw the lobster's two big claws pinching her index and middle fingers, he didn't help her immediately, but couldn't help laughing.

“???” Zhou Qian looked at him in confusion, brother, are you serious?

Fortunately, a dark shadow rushed over at this time and broke the lobster claws quickly and decisively. The quick action made Zhou Qian stunned.

Coming back to his senses, Zhou Qian realized it was Lu Jing, "Why did you come down?"

Lu Jing's face was gloomy. "If I don't come down soon, your hands will be broken."

Lu Jing felt uncomfortable lying down and wanted to get up and take a walk. He happened to see the stupid woman being pinched by a lobster.

Zhou Qian rarely talked back to him and watched him carefully remove the lobster claw that was stuck on her finger.

In the end, he was pinched and bright red blood oozed out, staining his fingers red.

Zhou Qian frowned and turned away. Lu Jing glanced at her, took her wrist, and led her upstairs.

…

It was the first time that Zhou Qian was attacked by a lobster. Maybe it was because the fingers were connected to the heart, so it was quite painful.

When Lu Jing was bandaging her, he had a dark face the whole time, as if he was the one who did the lobster thing.

Don't underestimate the crayfish's claws. The wound was quite deep and couldn't be covered by a Band-Aid. In the end, I had to wrap it with several layers of gauze to stop the bleeding.

Looking at the fingers that were trapped tightly, Lu Jing said with a cold face, "Don't you know how capable you are? So many people can't handle those small crayfish, and you need to make trouble?"

Zhou Qian didn't take it seriously. "You don't understand. There's a saying that goes, 'If you work hard, you'll have enough food and clothing.'"

She looked at the two fingers that were tied up like a twist, and continued, "But a young master like you who only has everything you want would definitely not know."

Lu Jing snorted coldly, "You'd better do it yourself tonight."

When he came down from upstairs, the yard was already filled with the smell of barbecue. Zhou Qian sniffed and drooled a little.

When Maozi and Dapang saw them coming down, they came over.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Maotou felt guilty for not saving her in time.

Zhou Qian's face darkened. "If you smile a little longer, everything will be fine."

"..." Maotou smiled awkwardly, "I just thought it was so funny at the time that I couldn't help myself."

"I see."
