When we got back, the sun was already overhead, showing off its unique passion.

Fortunately, there was a sun hat and an umbrella in Lu Yi's handbag that magically looked like Doraemon's pocket, otherwise the scorching light would have shined directly on his skin.

When we came back, grandma said she would come to the vegetable garden again in the afternoon, so there was no need to rush to take the hoe, wooden barrel and other things back. We could just put them under the pomelo tree.

So when the three of them returned, they felt relaxed.

Lin Zhizhi originally wanted to hold an umbrella with her grandmother and let Lu Yi wear a hat, but her grandmother directly snatched the hat from Lu Yi's hand and turned around to walk home quickly.

"I don't need anything. I'm not used to it. I'll be home in no time. You two can walk back slowly. I'll go home first to see if the wild boar meat I promised to deliver has arrived."

After saying this, grandma walked away in a hurry.

The weather is so hot that Lin Zhizhi is almost suspecting that it is summer instead of winter. The winter in the south is always as warm as spring, so shouldn't it be as hot and humid as summer?

The key point is that I heard from my grandma that the weather suddenly turned cold a few days ago, so I covered myself with a thick quilt when I slept. But today it suddenly became hot again, and there was no problem at all wearing just a short-sleeved shirt.

It's simply amazing.

For example, Lin Zhizhi is now wearing a thin long-sleeved shirt and loose casual wide-leg pants, with a sun-protective jacket on the outside. These clothes were taken for her by Lu Yi from Lin Zhizhi's cloakroom.

Lin Zhizhi forgot to bring her slippers, so she was now wearing the same pair as Lu Yi's, except that Lin Zhizhi's pair was a festive bright red with a yellow "囍" character on the upper.

The weather was hot and Lin Zhizhi didn't want to sit close to Lu Yi, but Lu Yi not only wanted to sit close to her but also insisted on holding her hand. Lin Zhizhi had no choice but to give in and let him do what he wanted.

There is a relatively large pond by the roadside. The midday sun shines vertically on it, and the rippling surface of the pond shines like a carp. The water vapor seems to drift to the entire village with the breeze.

At this moment, a breeze blew over, bringing a moment of coolness and making people feel relaxed.

Lu Yi held the umbrella in one hand, looked at Lin Zhizhi, and closed his eyes to enjoy the unique tranquility and fresh air of the countryside. "How is it? It's beautiful here, isn't it?"

Lin Zhizhi also followed his example, closing her eyes and feeling all the mysterious sounds of nature around her. She nodded, opened her eyes after a while, and looked at Lu Yi. Unexpectedly, she met Lu Yi's doting and smiling eyes.

At this moment, Lu Yi felt that his heart was full. His beloved girl and the baby who was about to come to him were both by his side, accompanying him back to this hometown full of memories.

At this moment, the light no longer seemed to be fiery, but instead acted as a catalyst, spreading an ambiguous and familiar atmosphere beside this country pond.

As the umbrella was slowly lowered, if someone passed by, they would be able to see Lu Yi leaning down with his head slightly tilted as he approached Lin Zhizhi. The final scene was something that no one could see, as if one had to pay to see it. At the critical moment, the umbrella completely covered the upper bodies of the two people.

…

After the two of them arrived home, grandma was preparing wild boar meat in the kitchen. When she heard them come back, she didn't come out but casually asked, "Did you go somewhere else? Why did you take so long to come back?"

Lin Zhizhi didn't reply, but Lu Yi responded to his grandmother calmly, as if nothing had happened.

Lin Zhizhi also responded, said something to her grandmother and hurried upstairs. She stayed upstairs for a while before coming down. Except for a little wet hair by her ear, there was nothing wrong with her.

Grandma was cooking wild boar meat, and Lu Yi was cleaning up the remaining wild boar meat.

Grandma saw Lin Zhizhi coming over and said with a smile, "Zhizhi, look, this is wild boar meat, from the mountains, it has never eaten feed, it smells really good."

"When you were about to come back, I made an agreement with them to keep half of the wild boar for me next time. I got it today. If you don't make an agreement in advance, you can't buy it. And it's not often available."

"I saw you liked eating those chestnuts yesterday. Eat more later. There are plenty in the pot."

Lin Zhizhi nodded repeatedly and stayed beside her grandmother, watching her while chatting with her and controlling her saliva.

Is my grandmother’s family’s cooking skills hereditary? Grandma’s cooking smells so good!

Lin Zhizhi moved her nose and sniffed the smell coming from the pot. Wow, she felt even more greedy.

The chestnut-flavored wild boar meat tastes so good.

And that tofu, it smells so good too! There is meat wrapped in tofu!

While Lu Yi was cleaning other parts of the pork, he happened to see Lin Zhizhi's greedy look, and the smile on his face couldn't be wiped away.
