Chapter 138
Planting tomorrow?
He Qin turned to look at Lu Xiaobai. He remembered Lu Xiaobai saying that once the spring seeds sprouted, they could go home.
Looking at Lu Xiaobai's eager eyes, He Qin knew that Lu Xiaobai really wanted to go home.
So he nodded gently and said, "Okay."
Hearing He Qin's yes, Lu Xiaobai was very happy.
He didn't want the child anymore, turned around and ran back to the house, preparing to give some farewell gifts to his friends and villagers.
Although he doesn't have many friends, he still has one or two.
He first found the paper and pen that He Qin used for practicing calligraphy, intending to write a letter to He Zhou, but then he thought that He Zhou could not understand modern simplified Chinese characters, and He Qin was still holding the child, so he put the paper and pen back.
Finally, he took two apples left by the Queen Mother, and bought a pound of watermelon seeds from Xiao Baicai. He divided them into more than 40 portions and took them to share with everyone.
He first went to Qiuger's house. Qiuger was washing clothes. His child was almost one year old and was learning to walk recently. He liked to crawl on the ground, and his clothes were always dirty.
Seeing Lu Xiaobai suddenly rush to his side and sit on a small bench beside him, he was startled: "Brother Bai, why are you here? Have your relatives left?"
Lu Xiaobai nodded quickly: "Yes, just left, this is for you."
He handed the apple to Qiu Ge'er, who was very surprised: "What kind of fruit is this? It smells so good."
Apples are grown in different regions. There are no apple trees here. Qiu Ge'er, who has never been far away, has no idea what apples are. He just thinks they smell good.
Lu Xiaobai smiled and said, "This is called an apple. My relative brought it for you and the child to try. I gave you two. You are not allowed to be reluctant to eat them, and you are not allowed to leave them all for the child. You must eat one."
Hearing this, Qiu Ge'er chuckled softly: "Okay, I will eat it, but such a rare fruit, will it be very expensive..."
"What are you talking about? Oh, and this."
Lu Xiaobai said as he took out the small paper bag he had prepared and placed it in Qiu Ge'er's hand, saying, "These are watermelon seeds. Plant one when you have time. I'll give it to you and your child when the time comes."
"Watermelon seeds?"
Qiu Ge'er was very happy. He knew this. He had the chance to eat it once when he was a child. It tasted very delicious, but the seeds were lost later and he never ate it again.
Now there is one more, Qiu Ge'er was so excited: "Thank you, Bai Ge'er, I, I don't know how to thank you."
"You're welcome."
Lu Xiaobai chuckled and opened the cloth bag on his shoulder to show him: "Look, I still have a lot. I plan to give some to each family so that everyone can eat watermelon. Oh, and here are some strawberry seeds, just for you. You can plant them and eat them. And this..."
Having lived here for more than a year, Lu Xiaobai felt reluctant to leave suddenly. He told everyone the precautions for growing strawberries, muttering to himself for a long time, with tears in his eyes.
Qiu Ge'er asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Did something happen at home?"
Lu Xiaobai shook his head: "No, nothing happened. Oh, by the way, the strawberries I planted should be ripe. I'll go back and see if there are any edible ones. Come to my house later and I'll give you a few to try."
After Lu Xiaobai finished speaking, he ran away without waiting for Qiu Ge'er to answer.
He distributed a packet of prepared seeds to each family, ran around for a while, sweated a lot, and harvested several eggs.
When he ran back home, he found He Qin holding the child and trying to find him.
"What did you do?"
Lu Xiaobai wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled, "I, I distributed watermelon seeds to everyone. I've been here for so long, and everyone has taken good care of me. If I leave, I have to give them some gifts."
But he had no other valuables, and even if he did, he couldn't distribute them to the whole village, so he just gave everyone some fruit seeds.
He Qin nodded, then accompanied him to the yard, asking as they walked, "Did you tell everyone we were leaving?"
"No."
Lu Xiaobai shook his head. How could he be so stupid as to just say that they were leaving?
What if I can’t leave at that time, how will I explain it?
So, he told everyone that the watermelon seeds were brought by that rich relative, and it was the beginning of spring for planting, and his family couldn't use so many, so he gave them to everyone.
Everyone believed it, accepted it after thanking him, and gave him eggs in return.
Lu Xiaobai told He Qin everything that happened and asked happily, "Am I great?"
Hearing Lu Xiaobai's words that sounded like he was taking credit, He Qin's lips curled up slightly: "Well, my little husband is the best."
"That's it."
He is so smart!
Lu Xiaobai raised his head proudly: "I want to go see if my strawberries are ripe. My mother was taking care of them a few days ago, so I didn't go to check."
After saying that, he ran to the backyard.
He found that the strawberries were ripe, but not as good as he had imagined. When he picked them up, a small part of the strawberries that were touching the soil had already rotted.
Lu Xiaobai picked all the unrotten strawberries, whether they were fully red or half red, with a distressed look on his face.
He planted a lot, but the harvest was not much. He only picked about a dozen.
Lu Xiaobai took a bowl and put them in water to wash. Then he picked the biggest and reddest one and handed it to He Qin: "You eat it."
He Qin opened his mouth and took a bite.
Ling Er next to him stared at He Qin closely, because the strawberries smelled very fragrant, he smelled it and wanted to eat it too.
And because the strawberries were not evenly ripe, he had also secretly eaten them and they were indeed delicious.
But now Lu Xiaobai was so focused on sharing the delicious food with He Qin that he didn't care about anyone else.
He looked at He Qin's slightly sliding Adam's apple and asked anxiously, "Is it delicious? Is it sweet?"
He Qin smiled and nodded: "It's sweet, you can try it too."
After saying that, he handed the half-bitten strawberry to Lu Xiaobai's mouth.
Lu Xiaobai quickly opened his mouth and took it in, then his eyes curved instantly, and it was obvious that the smile came from the bottom of his heart.
"It's really sweet. Have another one..."
He Qin opened his mouth: "You eat too..."
Zero Two: ...
When will he remember them? He wants to eat strawberries too!
Ling Er looked at the two of them hugging the child with resentment, and he felt terrible.
Ling Si kicked him and said, "If you want to eat, pick some from the back. Master Xiaobai has missed some."
When Ling Er heard this, he hurried to the backyard to look for the strawberries that Lu Xiaobai had missed picking.
After a while, Lu Xiaobai finally finished his indulgence and planned the remaining strawberries. Two was just right for each person.
So Zero Four and Zero Three each got two strawberries. Zero Two stole some and Lu Xiaobai gave him two more. His eyes immediately lit up with smiles.
He put the strawberry into his mouth and said to Ling Si, "I've been staying in the countryside with my master for over a year now, and I've finally experienced its benefits. I've never seen this fruit in the Imperial City before, and it's really delicious."
Ling Si threw his two to Ling Er and said, "If it tastes good, eat more and talk less."
Looking at the two strawberries in his hand, Ling Er asked curiously, "Don't you want to try some?"
He looked at Zero Three on the side. That cold guy knew to eat the strawberries given to him, but Zero Four didn't want them?
He took a strawberry, shook it under Ling Si's nose and said, "You really don't want to eat it...ah, why did you bite my finger? It hurts so much!"
Before Ling Er could finish his words, Ling Si took a bite of him, and the strawberry in his hand was gone. Ling Si was still looking at him and smiling.
He was so angry that he wanted to smear the strawberry all over Lingsi's face, but he couldn't bear to do so, so he took the strawberry and walked away.
After Lu Xiaobai had distributed the strawberries, Qiu Ge'er arrived with a small bag. "Brother Bai, thank you for the seeds. I picked some for you to herald the spring."
Lu Xiaobai quickly handed the remaining two strawberries to Qiu Ge'er: "Put down Baochun and try this."
Qiu Ge'er put the bag on the ground, looked at the strawberries in the bowl and asked, "Is this the strawberry you were talking about? It smells delicious."
"Yes, these are delicious. There are two of them. You can eat one and leave the other for your son. How nice."
After Lu Xiaobai finished speaking, Qiu Ge'er smiled, then took one of them and took a bite. His eyes lit up immediately: "It's delicious. Thank you, Bai Ge'er. I, I want to give the remaining half to my third brother. Is that okay?"
"ah?"
Lu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Qiu Ge'er was talking about his man. He nodded and said, "Okay, remember, you have to take good care of these strawberries, otherwise they will go bad easily."
"Well, thank you, Brother Bai."
After saying this, Qiu Ge'er took the strawberries and left.
Lu Xiaobai said with some envy: "It's still better here, the feelings are pure."
"Isn't it the same over there?"
He Qin was a little curious about Lu Xiaobai's world and asked involuntarily.
Lu Xiaobai shook his head and said, "Yes, but not many."
But their impure love in modern times also existed in ancient times, but it was generally more common in wealthy places like the imperial city.
But Lu Xiaobai didn't care about that. He just sighed and shouted to Ling Si, "Brother Ling Si, come and help me hug Huai Jin."
After hearing this, Ling Si immediately went over and took Huai Jin away from He Qin's arms.
He Qin asked with some confusion: "What?"
Are you not satisfied at night these past few days and want to continue during the day?
Especially after seeing Lu Xiaobai pulling him hurriedly into the house, He Qin's eyes dimmed and he said in a hoarse voice, "Don't be anxious."
Lu Xiaobai: "How can this not be urgent?"
The seeds sprouted within a few days of being planted. Time flies, so it is better to write to Zhou Zhou as soon as possible.
Thinking that Lu Xiaobai was anxious, He Qin pushed him against the door as soon as he entered.
Lu Xiaobai: “!!!”
Suddenly being pushed against the door, Lu Xiaobai was confused. He pushed He Qin's head with both hands and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you say you couldn't wait?"
He Qin raised his eyes to look at Lu Xiaobai, his eyes full of desire. Lu Xiaobai almost broke down and cried: "You are talking nonsense, I, I just want you to teach me how to write a letter to Zhou Zhou!"
He Qin: ...
Lu Xiaobai glared at He Qin angrily and said, "Let me go! I'm writing a letter to Zhou Zhou. Find someone to post it, don't let a bird deliver it. I want to write more."
The message sent by the bird must be concise, but he has a lot to say to Zhou Zhou, and the bird can't take it away, so he can only find someone to deliver it.
But after he finished speaking, He Qin still didn't let him go.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while. Looking at He Qin's eyes full of desire, he knew it was over and struggled to run away.
But the next second He Qin grabbed his hands and whispered in his ear, "But I can't wait any longer."
Lu Xiaobai: ...
So, the two of them committed adultery in broad daylight.
Soon, the sound of fierce fighting and Lu Xiaobai's faint cursing were heard in the room.
After a while, the cursing turned into crying and begging for mercy.
Ling Si outside the house was shocked. It was daytime and lunch was about to start. What should they do with the child now?
He was a little worried that Huai Jin was hungry, so he quickly asked Ling San to help make rice porridge.
Hearing the suppressed sobbing coming from the room, Ling Er looked at the sky and then applauded: "I didn't expect that Master Xiaobai would become so proactive after giving birth. She couldn't help herself in broad daylight, tsk tsk..."
Zero Four: ...
What was happening in the room continued until the afternoon. Even though the child was hungry, Ling Si didn't dare to disturb them and just fed him rice porridge.
When He Qin came out in the afternoon, he also said to Ling Si: "Give Huai Jin rice porridge tonight."
Lingsi knew that Huaijin probably wouldn't be able to drink milk for dinner tonight.
As for why, everyone knows it.
Ling Si fed Huai Jin rice porridge with a spoon while shaking his head, thinking it was pitiful that he was not given milk just after one month old.
He Qin then said, "Notify everyone and have the farmhands come over tomorrow to dig the ground and plant the seeds as soon as possible."
"yes."
After Ling Si answered, he quickly asked Ling Er to inform the farmhands to plant the fields tomorrow.
Lu Xiaobai lay drowsily on the bed, his head buried in the quilt, still sobbing softly.
He Qin sat down beside the bed with some water in his hand and asked, "You really don't want to drink it?"
“No!”
Lu Xiaobai was angry.
I originally wanted to go into the room to write a letter, but I didn't expect to spend the whole day like this, and the whole process was heard by people outside. It was so embarrassing.
He Qin curled his lips and said, "Your voice is hoarse from crying. You will feel uncomfortable if you don't drink some water."
"How dare you say that?"
Lu Xiaobai poked his little head out from under the quilt and said angrily, "It's all your fault!"
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault."
He Qin said as he helped the man sit up and played, then handed the water to his mouth and said, "Don't do it for so long next time. Drink some water first, okay?"
