Chapter 28
Lu Xiaobai turned around and saw Ling Er. He sniffed aggrievedly and said, "Go borrow needle and thread to sew clothes."
"Sewing clothes?"
Ling Er was about to laugh as if he had heard a joke, but when he looked down at the dress in Lu Xiaobai's hand, his open mouth silently closed. He was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "It's almost time for lunch, sister-in-law, please go back soon."
Lu Xiaobai nodded and walked towards the village chief's house with the clothes in his arms.
The weather is very good today, the sun is almost catching up with summer, and many people working in the fields are shirtless, revealing their dark muscles and figures.
But Lu Xiaobai was in no mood to watch these muscular men. He walked with a pout, wondering what to do after borrowing the needle. He didn't know how to sew!
As Lu Xiaobai was walking, he saw an old lady carrying a basket coming from the opposite direction. He felt that she looked a little familiar, but he didn't care. He just took a look at her and continued thinking about his own things.
But when the old lady saw him, she quickly ran over, grabbed his hand and asked angrily, "What's wrong with you, brother? Why are you crying like this in broad daylight? Did Xiao He bully you?"
Hearing this voice, Lu Xiaobai suddenly remembered that this was the old lady who covered his head with a veil and frightened him on the morning he traveled through time.
No, in ancient times, she should be called "Auntie".
However, he was still a little scared before, but after Liu Yi appeared, he realized that the people in the village were all well-intentioned.
What's more, although this lady spoke harshly, she actually cared about him.
He pouted, and two more golden beans dropped, holding back his tears as he subconsciously complained: "Well, he, he actually asked me to sew clothes, and he didn't even give me a needle, and told me to borrow one myself."
When the old lady heard what Lu Xiaobai said, her face changed. She put down the basket in her hand and shouted towards the field: "Lao Wang, I put the lunch here. Come and get it yourself. I have something else to do."
Aunt Wang was born rough and had a loud voice. These howls made Lu Xiaobai stunned. Finally, he was dragged back home by Aunt Wang in a weird manner.
After returning home, Aunt Wang brought two needles and a roll of black and white thread and placed them in Lu Xiaobai's arms and said, "This is not bullying, Xiaobai. You are a boy. Although boys are not women, they still need to learn sewing and mending. Take these. A man in the family would not buy such things. Next time, give me some seeds. I will consider it as an exchange with you. Don't give too much, twenty pumpkin seeds will be enough."
There seemed to be some pumpkin seeds left at home, so Lu Xiaobai nodded: "Well, thank you, Aunt Wang."
Aunt Wang shook her head, turned around, took a steamed bun from her own pot, put it in Lu Xiaobai's hand, and said, "No need to thank me, you didn't take advantage of me. But if you are really bullied by Xiao He, just tell us directly, and we will help you."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Auntie. This is, this is a steamed bun?"
Lu Xiaobai was surprised when he saw the steamed bun in his hand. There was little rice in this place, so how could there be steamed buns?
"Yes, it's steamed buns. This is the last ball of flour at home, so I was extravagant and made steamed buns for your uncle to eat. After all, you may not be able to eat them in the future."
At this point, the old lady gave him another half and said, "Eat it, and go back after you finish it."
Lu Xiaobai knew that because there were no seeds, everyone thought they would have nothing to eat in the future.
Moreover, the old lady asked him to finish his meal before going back because she felt sorry for him and wanted to prepare special meals for him.
Lu Xiaobai was touched and distressed. He sniffed, held the clothes and the steamed buns and said, "Thank you, Auntie. We will definitely have seeds."
Aunt Wang gave a bitter laugh. "It's no use having it. The season for growing wheat or barley is over now. We can only grow some vegetables."
Lu Xiaobai thought of his insignificant system and said through gritted teeth, "Then next year, don't worry, Auntie. I, I'm not... it's He Qin. He Qin will definitely bring back high-yield rice in the spring. By then, everyone won't have to eat corn and brown rice anymore. We can eat rice."
Aunt Wang burst out laughing, touched Lu Xiaobai's head and said, "Good boy, eat."
Enjoy your steamed buns and stop daydreaming.
Not to mention that everyone can eat rice, it would be good if the court could leave them half of the corn and beans next year.
Lu Xiaobai didn't eat the steamed buns. Although he was hungry, he still thanked Aunt Wang and ran back home with the food.
Just wait and see, he has distributed so many seeds this time, he will definitely gain a lot of planting coins, he will exchange them all for rice seeds next year, so that everyone will have rice to eat.
Lu Xiaobai ran back home, his little face turned red, and he stood in front of He Qin, panting.
Even though this guy treated him badly, he was still his husband after all, and they should share good things with him.
"He, He Qin..."
He was panting so hard that he could hardly speak. His face was red, his mouth was slightly open, and his chest was heaving violently. Seeing this, He Qin's blood boiled in an instant. If he hadn't had strong self-control, he would have knocked him to the ground.
He Qin took a deep breath, retracted his voice as he was about to leave the kitchen, turned around and sat down inside and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Lu Xiaobai followed He Qin to the table and showed the steamed bun to He Qin: "Look, steamed bun, Aunt Wang gave it to me."
He Qin was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Lu Xiaobai's happy face and asked, "Did she ask you to give it to me?"
Lu Xiaobai shook his head honestly: "No, Auntie gave it to me to eat, but we are a family, we should share."
He Qin was of course aware of this problem, and thought to himself that the people here really loved Lu Xiaobai. They were willing to give Lu Xiaobai such a big white flour steamed bun and even gave him half an extra one.
He deliberately teased Lu Xiaobai, looking at the steamed bun and asked, "But there are six people in our family, and you only have one and a half steamed buns. How should we divide them?"
"this……"
Lu Xiaobai subconsciously turned his head to look at Lingyi who was making a fire. Lingyi quickly lowered his head and used the stove to shield himself.
Lu Xiaobai didn't know how to divide it. Should he use a knife to cut it and give each person a small piece?
This always makes me feel a little pitiful...
Lu Xiaobai shook his head, not knowing what to do. He subconsciously changed the subject: "I don't know. Oh, by the way, Auntie asked us to give her some seeds. She wants twenty pumpkin seeds."
He Qin: ...
He's quite good at finding excuses to escape.
He Qin pursed his lips, suppressed a smile and said: "Well, I'll have someone send it over later. Lingyi, fry these steamed buns." ???
Lu Xiaobai understood the first sentence, but was confused by the second one. He asked blankly, "Stir-fried? Can steamed buns be fried?"
Fried steamed buns. Lu Xiaobai said that he had eaten steamed buns very few times in his life, and fried steamed buns were something he had never heard of or seen before.
If he hadn't been so hungry in this place, he wouldn't even look at the steamed buns.
But He Qin didn't answer him. Lingyi washed his hands and came over with the steamed buns and said, "Sure. Cut the buns into slices, add some oil and salt and fry them. They will be very fragrant. You will know it later, sister-in-law."
