But it happened to be Qin Zhao.

...Can this sickly child really work in the fields?

Li Dali didn't ask any more questions, but said, "My family's land is rented annually. Including taxes, the rent per mu is three dou of wheat. The rent will be collected in late June of next year."

The main crop grown in Linxi Village is wheat. The winter here is not too cold, so wheat is usually planted in autumn and matures in late June of the following year.

The land tax was also paid around that time.

Li Dali said, "It's only the middle of March now. Since you saved my life earlier, I won't ask you for more rent for these three extra months. Go back and think about it for a few days. If you're sure you want to rent it, we'll go to the village chief tomorrow to sign the lease."

Qin Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much."

"No need." Li Dali waved his hand. "I don't understand what you're planning. You're not really going to work in the fields, are you?"

Not to mention that he didn't understand, Jing Li couldn't figure it out either.

He couldn't even imagine the scene of Qin Zhao working in the fields.

This guy probably can't even lift a hoe?

Moreover, he originally thought that Qin Zhao stayed here only because of his poor health and could not leave for the time being.

He rented a house in the village to live temporarily. Once he recovered, he should leave here to investigate his life experience. Why did he want to rent land and build a house here?

Has he decided to settle down in this village and not continue to explore who he really is?

Jing Li looked up at Qin Zhao from the bottom of the water, completely unable to guess what this man was thinking.

As if noticing his gaze, Qin Zhao lowered his head and looked over.

Jing Li didn't expect that he would suddenly lower his head. He was so scared that his whole body trembled, and he quickly swung his tail and sank to the bottom of the water.

He's still angry!

Naturally, his little trick did not fool Qin Zhao, who smiled secretly.

Li Dali looked up and saw Qin Zhao's smile: "..."

No, what was so funny about his words???

"I'll figure out the land myself," Qin Zhao said. "I'll come back in three days to sign the lease with you."

Seeing that he was so determined, Li Dali stopped trying to persuade him and nodded in agreement.

Anyway, his field has to be left idle for the time being, as he is already busy with the few acres of land he cultivates.

Qin Zhao was about to leave when he saw the shallots that Li Dali had planted in the yard. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Are you selling these shallots?"

Li Dali turned back to chopping wood, waving his hand nonchalantly: "It's just a few scallions. They'll grow back after we cut them, and we won't be able to finish them all. If you want, just cut a couple. It's free."

Qin Zhao thanked him and bent down to cut a handful of green onions from the ground.

After returning home, Qin Zhao put the green onions on the stove, took out the things he had used for the medical examination from the backpack and put them away. Finally, he emptied the fish basket and poured the little koi back into the wooden barrel.

The little koi fish wagged its tail, swam to the bottom of the barrel, shrank into a small corner, and remained silent and sullen.

Stupid Qin Zhao, he actually didn't coax him before going home.

He's running away from home tonight!

Qin Zhao stirred the water and asked, "Still refusing to pay attention to me?"

Jing Li did not respond.

"What happened? Are you blaming me for not coming back in time to save you?" Qin Zhao paused and asked softly, "Or are you unhappy because you saw that kitten getting close to me?"

Jing Li: “!”
