Then, he picked up the shoulder pole and bucket and walked out.

“Hey hey hey…”

Just as Ruan Mengmeng was about to call him, Zhang Sinian's figure disappeared into the distance.

Without thinking too much, Ruan Mengmeng went into the kitchen and started making lunch.

In the yard, Zhang Xinxin, who had just washed her face and hands, had a sunburned face that was flushed red, as if it had been smeared with rouge.

Comrade Tian Kai, who was resting on a stone bench under a peach tree, took a look and was a little stunned.

He stared at Zhang Xinxin blankly, forgetting how exhausted he was.

Noticing a burning gaze fixed on him, Zhang Xinxin touched his face and looked at Tian Kai in confusion.

"Is there something dirty on my face?"

These words woke up the dazed Tian Kai. He scratched his head awkwardly and explained haltingly.

"No, no, I'm just thinking!"

He made up an excuse to cover up his distraction. Tian Kai felt a little annoyed in his heart.

How could he stare at the little girl like that!

This time, he himself felt that he had gone a little too far!

"Mengmeng, I'm going home too. I'll be here soon!"

When she was packing up just now, she found that Ruan Mengmeng had no vegetables at all.

She wanted to go home and pick some, but it wouldn't be good for several people to eat just meat, as it would easily cause constipation!

As an educated youth, my best friend was not familiar with the people in the village, so she definitely had never gone out to exchange vegetables.

None of the old educated youth in the educated youth institution are good people, so my best friend will definitely not bother to offend others.

Later, they moved out and had their own house and yard, where they could grow some vegetables to eat.

"Okay, go ahead!"

Ruan Mengmeng didn't know what she was planning.

I thought she was going back to change her clothes!

Without saying much, he just nodded and agreed.

She took out the big iron pot and put it on the original stove.

Start adding water and rice, and cook the rice first.

There is not much water left in the tank, but it should be enough to cook rice.

After washing his face and hands, Ruan Zilong went into the kitchen to help Ruan Mengmeng light the fire.

When Zhang Sinian came back carrying water, Tian Kai was the only one left in the yard.

He sat quietly under the peach tree, enjoying the cool breeze.

In this season, the peach trees are full of small wild peaches.

Maybe because no one takes care of them, many of them are infested with bugs.

Even the trunk of the tree was riddled with dark holes infested by insects, from which peach gum slowly flowed out.

Zhang Sinian made three trips and carried three full buckets of water before he finally filled the medium-sized empty tank in Ruan Mengmeng's house.

Although the weather was hot, the well water was ice-cold and crystal clear.

When you drink it, there is a sweet taste.

After Zhang Sinian finished fetching water, Zhang Xinxin also came back with a small bamboo basket.

"It's so hot, I want to eat cold tomatoes!"

Zhang Xinxin put the bamboo basket on his arm next to the chopping board in the kitchen and shouted that he wanted to eat something cold to quench his thirst.

"Where do such good vegetables come from?"

Ruan Mengmeng turned around and grabbed a fist-sized tomato.

"I picked them at home. There's been plenty of rain this year, and our vegetables are overflowing!"

Farmers in the countryside all depend on the weather for their livelihood.

In years with abundant rainfall, not only do crops grow well, but vegetables, fruits and melons also grow very well.

Just plant some in the yard and you won’t be able to eat them all.

Moreover, this time was different from later times, when it was all about technology and hard work.

Everything we have now is original, green and healthy, and tastes very good.

"Okay, arrange it!"

Just when I was worrying about not having vegetables at home, my best friend sent me some.

She didn't bother to be polite with the other party and arranged whatever he wanted to eat. It was no problem!

There was a burst of busy work, and clouds of smoke rose from the kitchen.

Ruan Mengmeng was in charge of cooking, Zhang Xinxin was washing and picking vegetables, and Ruan Zilong was squatting there adding firewood.

After a while, a fragrant smell wafted through the yard.

The two people outside were also busy. They piled up the firewood they brought back under the eaves of the house bit by bit.

Prevent the firewood from getting wet and not burning when it rains or snows.

By the time Ruan Mengmeng finished cooking, the two of them had already piled up most of the firewood they had brought back.

"Stop working, wash your hands and eat!"

Ruan Mengmeng called out to the two of them while bringing food to the stone table outside.

After working hard for more than half an hour, Ruan Mengmeng made four dishes, a soup, a staple food, and a pot of white rice.

Finally, there is a dish of cold-boiled tomatoes that Zhang Xinxin likes to eat.

Sprinkle a layer of shiny white sugar on it, it tastes sour and sweet, very delicious!

There are meat, vegetables and soup. It’s so delicious to eat and drink.

After working all morning, everyone was hungry.

It’s not the first time we’ve had dinner together, so there’s nothing to mind.

Just like at home, he buried his head and started eating with big mouthfuls.

After dinner, Ruan Zilong directly announced that he would wash the dishes.

He was young and couldn't do other jobs as fast as Zhang Sinian and the other two, so he chose to wash dishes.

Ruan Mengmeng had no objection. I am a kid who knows how to weigh the pros and cons. Well, well done!

After eating, several people did not rest but continued to work, as if it was a way to digest the food after the meal.

The work of building the stove was done by Zhang Sinian and Tian Kai. Ruan Mengmeng and others didn't know how to do it at all.

She and Zhang Xinxin found a big hoe among the tools, took out two pairs of gloves from the house, and put them on.

After being fully equipped, the two began their journey of clearing land in the empty space next to the yard.

When the old hunter was alive, he would also plant some vegetables in the yard.

However, as a grown man, he didn't plant much.

He is the only one at home. Not only can he not eat so much, but most importantly, he has to manage it, which is too troublesome.

Ruan Mengmeng flattened the soil that had been made into ridges, and sifted out all the grass roots, stones, dirt, and other debris on the ground.

Then, he turned it over twice with a hoe.

She stopped only when she felt the soil was loose enough.

Sure enough, neither of them was good at farming. After cultivating a small piece of land, they were already exhausted and out of breath.

Especially Zhang Xinxin, his head was covered in sweat and his face was red.

Ruan Zilong brought out a few bowls of cooled warm water from the kitchen and gave them to the people to drink.

Zhang Xinxin took a big sip of warm water, pointed to the vegetable garden that had just been turned over, and asked Ruan Mengmeng.

"You've tilled the land. What vegetables are you going to plant when the time comes?"

Ruan Mengmeng thought about it and realized that there were many new seeds in her space.
