Chapter 111
"Of course!"
Lu Xiaobai nodded confidently: "I'm so awesome, how could I not understand?"
Looking at Lu Xiaobai's cheerful and lively appearance, He Qin felt more and more that his decision was right. He gently held him in his arms and said as he walked home, "Yes, my little husband is the best, but the wind is too strong. Go back to your room and be careful not to catch a cold."
Lu Xiaobai lay on He Qin's chest, stretched out his hand to push him and said, "Let's go back. Can you please stop holding me like this? It's hard for me to walk."
Having trouble walking?
Simple!
He Qin held Lu Xiaobai's head with his hand, then slowly put his arm under it, then bent down, and with his other hand, held his knees, and directly held him in his arms and said, "Then I'll carry you in."
He Qin's action scared Lu Xiaobai. Although he was startled, it was not the first time that He Qin suddenly hugged him. Gradually, he got used to it.
He held onto He Qin's clothes tightly, watching the hair blow on their faces, and said with a grin, "I quite like this kind of weather. It's more comfortable than the air conditioning we have over there."
"air conditioner?"
He Qin didn’t know what that was, but as long as Lu Xiaobai thought it was a good place, that was fine.
Lu Xiaobai nodded: "Well, an air conditioner is just a box that can continuously output cold air from it to lower the temperature in the room. Even in the hot summer, the room won't be hot."
He Qin: "So powerful?"
He had never heard of anything Lu Xiaobai had seen, and he was really curious about what kind of world Lu Xiaobai lived in.
"Um."
Lu Xiaobai nodded firmly and said, "Although it's cool and comfortable, it's not very natural. Especially after coming here and experiencing the most natural weather, I feel that air conditioning is not as comfortable as this."
But I only feel this way today.
Because today's strong wind has raised the quality of the entire nature.
If it was a day like yesterday or the day before yesterday when the sun was shining brightly and the ground was tanned, he would still miss air conditioning.
"It's really comfortable and cool in the summer, but..."
He Qin carried him into the room, gently placed him on the bed and said, "But in the eyes of farmers, this kind of weather is not worth being happy about."
Lu Xiaobai didn't understand; "Why?"
The weather is cool and you won’t feel hot while working. Why are you not happy?
He Qin stroked his hair, took the box from his hand, opened it, and looked at the rows of beautiful crisp candies inside. He said, "Because the wind is so strong, the crops will fall over. But falling over is a good thing. We can pick them up when the wind dies down. But if they are broken by the wind, they will be ruined."
No harvest!
"That serious?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai looked outside with some concern: "What should we do now?"
This place is already poor and has nothing to eat. If this strong wind blows down all the corn, what will they eat?
Do we have to endure hunger for a few more months and wait until the rice grows up before we can eat?
That's impossible! Don't be so cruel!
Lu Xiaobai wanted to go out and take a look, but He Qin grabbed his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's okay for now. If the wind stops before tonight, it will be fine. If it doesn't stop..."
He Qin didn't continue.
But Lu Xiaobai already understood the consequences.
His eyes suddenly became wet, and the candy in his hand could not make him feel better.
If the corn production decreases, we will have to go hungry for the next four months.
He Qin knew that Lu Xiaobai was worried, so he raised his hand, pinched a piece of candy from the box, and put it next to his mouth and said, "Don't worry, it will be fine. Eat a candy first."
"Um."
Lu Xiaobai sniffed and opened his mouth to put the candy in his mouth.
But the moment he opened his mouth, He Qin had a sudden idea, threw the candy back into the box, and stuffed his fingers into his mouth.
Lu Xiaobai: ...
Not sugar!
After realizing what was happening, Lu Xiaobai kept leaning back, but He Qin refused to take his fingers out and even grabbed his shoulders to prevent him from running away.
He wanted to do something, but it was not yet noon. He Qin thought about it and decided to forget it and not bother him.
He Qin took a deep breath, released Lu Xiaobai's tongue, quickly took a candy and stuffed it into his mouth, then turned and ran away.
Lu Xiaobai lay on the bed, his tongue numb from being rubbed, and not only was there a piece of candy on the tip of his tongue, but his chin was also covered with saliva.
Lu Xiaobai wiped his saliva and shed tears: "Bullying me again!"
He Qin is so bad!
Lu Xiaobai wiped the saliva off his face, put the candy box away, and then chased after him, but He Qin was nowhere to be seen.
Lu Xiaobai was so angry that he curled his lips helplessly and then walked towards the cornfield in his memory.
He wanted to find He Qin and give him a good beating for always bullying him!
But as soon as he left, Lingyi came back, and when he turned around, He Qin was also standing at the door.
Lu Xiaobai: ...
But Lu Xiaobai did not settle the score with him. Instead, he went back to his room angrily, took the stick behind the door, and propped it up to prevent He Qin from entering.
When He Qin went to call Lu Xiaobai for lunch, he realized that Lu Xiaobai didn't allow him to enter the room.
He Qin stood at the window: "...It's time to eat."
Lu Xiaobai held the candy box and shook his head: "I have candy, I'm not hungry."
I told you not to bully me, so I won’t let you in.
Lu Xiaobai said angrily, "I won't eat dinner tonight. I won't open the door for you. Go sleep in the shed outside."
Anyway, it’s hot in the summer and you won’t get sick sleeping in the pergola, so it’s a good choice for He Qin to use.
He Qin: ...
It’s over, my wife is really angry.
He Qin thought for a moment, then went to the kitchen, fetched a pot of water, and passed it in through the window, saying, "Eating too much sugar will make you thirsty. Come, drink some water."
Whether it was the window or the door, as long as He Qin wanted to, he could get in.
But it is inevitable that the windows or doors will be broken, and then Lu Xiaobai will be angry with him again.
so……
Lu Xiaobai was really thirsty, so when He Qin brought some water, he went to get it. Then he sat at the table and ate candy while drinking water. He also ran to the cabinet and took out a bag of popcorn to eat.
He really didn't intend to pay any attention to He Qin. He wanted to teach him a lesson.
Lu Xiaobai was full, so he stood up and said to the person by the window, "Go ahead, I'm going to sleep."
Lu Xiaobai has had a very good habit of taking a nap recently. He would sleep after lunch, so when he lay down, He Qin pulled a small stool and sat outside the door waiting.
Sure enough, half an hour later, Lu Xiaobai got up in a daze, put on his shoes, opened the door and went to the bathroom.
He Qin sneaked in, took off his shoes and hid under the quilt.
Lu Xiaobai came back, closed the door, and got into bed only to find He Qin smiling at him.
Lu Xiaobai: ...
But Lu Xiaobai was not angry. Instead, he moved closer to him and snuggled into his arms.
The wind blew for most of the night, so they got up early the next morning and went to the fields to check on the corn.
After waking up, Lu Xiaobai did not run around, but waited obediently at home for news.
Not long after, He Qin came back with a smile on his face: "There is no large-scale collapse, don't worry."
"Um."
Lu Xiaobai nodded; "What about Brother Lingyi and the others?"
"Although there wasn't a large area that collapsed, there was quite a bit that fell down, and they went to help with it."
He Qin sat beside him, touched his stomach and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Lu Xiaobai wanted to say that he was not hungry because they had just finished their meal, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that his stomach was not too full, so he nodded and replied: "Not bad."
Lu Xiaobai was about to ask He Qin if he was going to make him something to eat when he heard Xiao Baicai say, "Congratulations to the host! You've finally harvested the second wave of planting coins~"
Lu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then he checked in his mind and found that his planting coins, which were empty before, suddenly increased.
He immediately said happily: "Really!"
Then he wants to buy something!
Lu Xiaobai thought about it for a long time and felt that he could buy all the things that were planted in the shape of fruits and eat them directly without planting them.
First of all, there are onions, ginger and garlic used for cooking. You can buy the fruits of these three directly.
What else, what else?
Lu Xiaobai kept searching in his mind, and then locked on his target: "Buy 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and 3 kilograms of onions, ginger, and garlic. Oh, and last time He Qin said strawberry-flavored candy was delicious, buy 1 kilogram of strawberry seeds..."
He Qin couldn't hear the conversation between Lu Xiaobai and Xiao Baicai. When he heard Lu Xiaobai say that he was fine, he knew that Lu Xiaobai was hungry. He hugged him in his arms with heartache and was about to comfort him.
But unexpectedly, Lu Xiaobai suddenly stood up, and then a large bag of sweet potatoes suddenly appeared in his arms, followed by onions, ginger, garlic, dried peanuts, soybeans, wheat... and a series of other things, which almost buried He Qin.
Lu Xiaobai quickly pulled his pocket out: "Sorry, I forgot, are you okay? Come out quickly..."
He Qin struggled out of the pile of bags and stood aside in a panic, looking at the things on the ground and asked, "What's going on? These are..."
“These are seeds that can be eaten directly.”
Lu Xiaobai was a little excited. Corn and rice were their main food, so these seeds were usually treated with drugs to prevent insects and decay. Even if they were planted in the shape of fruits, they would not be able to eat them once they got them.
However, things like peanuts, sweet potatoes, and soybeans are easy to store, so they don’t need to be treated with pesticides and can be eaten directly.
Lu Xiaobai opened the bags and said happily, "He Qin, look, we don't have to go hungry anymore. Here are some strawberry seeds. I'll grow some strawberries for you to eat, okay?"
"strawberry?"
He Qin was a little confused, but the most important issue now was not about the strawberry seeds.
But there were so many sacks piled up in front of his house and he had to move them into the house as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if people passing by see them, it won’t be nice to them.
Because these things appeared out of nowhere, not only could they not explain their origins, but they also became easily dependent on the villagers, who might even ask them for food.
He Qin nodded: "Okay, sit down for a moment, I'll move these to the kitchen first, I'll ask you something later."
"Yeah, okay."
Lu Xiaobai nodded, then sat obediently aside, grabbed a handful of peanuts from the peanut bag, and ate while watching He Qin move things.
