Chapter 84
"You? You're working too, isn't that a bad idea?"
He Qin is the emperor. Although he stays in the countryside every day, he is still the emperor. This is an unchangeable fact.
How can the emperor work with everyone?
Lu Xiaobai couldn't believe it, and even Ling Yi and the others who heard the whole thing couldn't believe it.
Especially Ling Er, he was the most uneasy, and all the seeds in his hand fell to the ground in shock.
After realizing what was happening, he quickly grabbed the seeds along with the mud in his hand and carefully separated the grains.
He Qin thought about the scene he had just seen, and he had already put himself and Lu Xiaobai into the picture in his mind. He liked that feeling very much, nodded and said: "It's not bad, they are almost done, let's go back first."
"Well, alright then."
Lu Xiaobai was completely confused. He never wanted to do these kinds of work, and even wanted to leave here and return to his own world. He didn't expect that He Qin, who was born without having to work, would suddenly ask him to work?
Lu Xiaobai was led home by him with a confused look on his face. He thought about it all the way but still couldn't figure it out.
After returning home, He Qin grabbed Lu's hand and led him to the kitchen.
"Is there anything to eat?"
Seeing He Qin pulling him into the kitchen, Lu Xiaobai thought there were snacks and was extremely happy.
But unexpectedly, after entering the kitchen, He Qin just asked him: "Do you want white rice or egg fried rice? I'll make it for you."
No snacks!
Lu Xiaobai curled his lips in disappointment. It was almost noon and time for lunch.
He only drank a bowl of soup in the morning and didn't eat rice, so he had two bowls of rice to eat at noon, but how to eat it was a problem.
The food here is too monotonous. Even if Lu Xiaobai eats "luxurious" white rice every day, he feels a little bored.
He wanted to eat porridge these past two days, but eating porridge at night would easily make him wake up at night. If he ate it during the day, even if he had to go to the bathroom frequently, it wouldn't matter. So Lu Xiaobai lay on the table and thought for a long time before saying, "I don't want either. I want to eat porridge..."
He Qin was stunned for a moment, then nodded, turned around, poured Lu Xiaobai's breakfast into the pot, added some water, lit the fire and started cooking.
Looking at the dancing flames in the furnace, He Qin stood up, took out some peanuts from the cupboard, and placed them in front of Lu Xiaobai, saying, "I went to town early this morning, and no one is selling steamed buns or sesame cakes anymore."
Lu Xiaobai then remembered that he had said yesterday that he wanted to eat steamed buns, but he had forgotten about it today and he didn't really want to eat them. He took the peanuts in front of him, smiled sweetly and said, "It's okay, I don't really want to eat steamed buns either."
Then he looked at his planting coins in his mind. There were only forty-six left. He couldn't buy corn seeds or rice seeds. They were just the leftovers from before.
So he found wheat seeds. Since he had never bought them before, the price was thirty plant coins per pound, and he could still buy one pound.
He quickly asked happily: "He Qin, do we need wheat seeds?"
He Qin shook his head: "The season is over, we can't plant it."
"Um?"
Lu Xiaobai was puzzled, and the next second, Xiaobaicai jumped out: [I know, I know. Wheat is divided into winter wheat and spring wheat. Due to geographical reasons, spring wheat is only grown in very cold places...]
Regarding Xiao Baicai's two sudden appearances today, Lu Xiaobai curled her lips unhappily and said in her mind: "You are going too far. I asked about my husband, and you kept silent."
Hearing Lu Xiaobai's blunt disdain, Xiao Baicai immediately fell silent and silently ran to the main system to complain: [...I, I may be the most useful, but least visible system in history, wuwuwuwu...]
He Qin stroked his hair and said, "Spring wheat is not suitable for planting."
After He Qin finished speaking, he stood up, walked to the stove, opened the lid, and stirred the porridge with a spoon to prevent it from sticking to the pot.
At this time, Ling Si also came back. He went into the kitchen as soon as he cleaned up. As soon as he entered the door, he found that he had disturbed his masters.
But everyone had to eat after work, so they could only force themselves to smile and say, "Master, take a rest, I'll do it."
Fortunately, He Qin didn't care. He shook his head, took the bowl and filled it with porridge and placed it in front of Lu Xiaobai, giving space to Ling Si.
One bowl of rice plus water can make two bowls of porridge. Lu Xiaobai ate it all, then touched his belly with a smile and burped, saying, "Burp~ I'm so full. I haven't had porridge in a long time. It's delicious."
If he didn't want to get up to go to the toilet at night, he would also eat porridge.
It was rare to see Lu Xiaobai have such a good appetite, He Qin smiled and said, "I'll make it for you tomorrow."
There's more tomorrow?
Lu Xiaobai's eyes lit up and he nodded happily: "Yeah, eat it tomorrow and in the morning too."
"Um."
He Qin nodded and began to make a recipe for Lu Xiaobai in his mind. Although they didn't have much food, as long as Lu Xiaobai was willing to eat, he would do his best to find it for him.
After dinner, Ling Yi and his friends left in a hurry again. This time, they did not go to the fields, but went to the land in the yard with small shovels.
The corn and cotton seedlings there have grown up and are more than ten centimeters tall. The rice in the field has also been planted today, so in the next few days, it will be time to transplant the corn seedlings into the field.
They had a large family, and the four grown men worked very quickly. They finished digging up half a field of corn seedlings in the time it took to stick up an incense stick.
Lu Xiaobai stood in front of the field and asked curiously, "Brother Lingyi, where are you going to plant the corn?"
Lingyi lifted the basket of corn seedlings into Linger's back and asked him to carry it away. He also got a basket for himself, and then said, "Let's go to the fields in the back mountain. Master Xiaobai, don't go. Stay at home."
When Lu Xiaobai heard Lingyi ask him to stay at home, he knew that these guys must know that he was pregnant, but no one told him.
If He Qin hadn't told him last night, he might still be kept in the dark.
Lu Xiaobai pouted unhappily, turned around and ran towards He Qin in the room.
It was sunny today, and He Qin was sorting out clothes, planning to take out some damp clothes to dry in the sun. When he saw the pile of trousers that Lu Xiaobai had piled up, he frowned instantly.
He doesn't like his clothes to be messy, especially his clean clothes, which he hopes are always neat and tidy.
So, I want to fold those two pairs of trousers and put them away.
But as soon as he picked up the trousers, Lu Xiaobai hurried to the door.
Lu Xiaobai was stunned as soon as he entered the door. He looked at He Qin in surprise, a little at a loss.
Because He Qin was standing in front of the cabinet, holding a pair of white trousers in his hand. The trousers were relatively small and it was obvious that they belonged to Lu Xiaobai.
The word "pervert" instantly appeared in Lu Xiaobai's mind, followed by the scene of He Qin holding his trousers and sniffing them.
"Good, so perverted!"
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaobai's face instantly turned red, and even his heartbeat accelerated. He was extremely embarrassed and stood at the door and stammered, "Yuan, so you have this hobby."
He Qin, who was sorting out his clothes, asked: "??? What?"
"No, nothing."
Lu Xiaobai quickly shook his head, his bright eyes moving around, and he walked to the bed and sat down awkwardly.
After discovering He Qin's special hobby, he lowered his head, not daring to look at He Qin, and asked in a low voice: "You, why do you like these?"
He Qin: ???
He had no idea what Lu Xiaobai was saying, and ignored him. He lowered his head, folded the trousers in his hand and put them aside, then went out with a few cotton clothes he had washed a few days ago.
However, the cotton coat was still Lu Xiaobai's.
He Qin and his companions are all martial artists and are cold-resistant, so they just need to wear slightly thicker clothes.
Only Lu Xiaobai, this pampered boy, complains about being cold if he wears less.
I can hold him at night, but during the day I can only wrap him up thicker.
But now that the weather is warmer and there is sunshine every day, some thicker cotton clothes are no longer needed. They need to be dried in the sun before being put away, otherwise they will easily get moldy.
Lu Xiaobai watched He Qin walk away with a gloomy face, and immediately forgot the purpose of his entry. He ran to the cabinet curiously, looked at himself wrapping his pants and said, "Is he shy?"
Moreover, has He Qin smelled every pair of his pants?
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaobai suddenly felt that the pants he was wearing were a little hot on his butt...
When He Qin walked in after drying his cotton-padded clothes, he saw Lu Xiaobai standing in front of the cabinet in a daze, his eyes fixed on the two pairs of trousers.
He Qin didn't understand what Lu Xiaobai was thinking, so he said in a deep voice, "Either find some thick clothes to dry outside, or go play somewhere else and don't block the road."
"oh oh……"
Lu Xiaobai was called back to his senses by He Qin, and subconsciously stepped aside. He watched He Qin take out a few more clothes, then he came back to his senses and followed him, asking curiously: "He Qin, you, you..."
Seeing him hesitant, He Qin couldn't help but ask, "What?"
He Qin suddenly spoke, startling Lu Xiaobai. He shook his head subconsciously, "Nothing, nothing, it's just that I wanted to ask, Brother Lingyi and the others are going to work, should we go and help?"
Worried that He Qin would get upset because of face issues, Lu Xiaobai was a little hesitant to say it and could only change the subject.
help?
He Qin thought for a moment and said, "The water is finished. You can boil some water and let it cool down for them to drink when they come back."
In fact, they could just drink cold water directly, but if Lu Xiaobai wanted to do something, let him do it. Boiling water is easy anyway and won’t tire him out.
Is there really work to do?
Lu Xiaobai nodded blankly: "Oh, okay, then, I'll go boil some water."
This was the first time Lu Xiaobai came to the kitchen after traveling through time, not to eat or to find someone, but to work.
However, he knew nothing about these ancient tools and stood at the door for a long time before starting the procedure.
"To boil water, you must put the water in the pot first."
As he spoke, he used a gourd ladle to scoop water from the stone jar into the pot, and after filling the pot, he covered it with a lid.
Then he sat in front of the stove, looked at the dark stove and thought: "But how do I light it?"
In modern times, we have lighters for lighting fires. So, what were there in ancient times?
The legendary fire stick?
But Lu Xiaobai searched the entire platform but couldn't find it!
There were two black stones lying at his feet. He picked them up and looked at them, then asked curiously, "Could they be flint?"
Lu Xiaobai immediately became interested. Like the people in ancient TV dramas, he took two stones and rubbed them hard for a few times. Sure enough, small sparks came out.
But the ground was covered with dry grass, and as soon as the little spark landed in the grass it began to smoke.
"Is there smoke?"
Seeing the hay start to smoke, Lu Xiaobai panicked and almost cried. He quickly threw a stone and stepped on the smoking hay with his feet.
But there were a lot of small sparks falling out, and there was more than one place where smoke was coming out...
He Qin hung the last quilt that needed to be dried on a bamboo pole, then turned back and walked towards the kitchen.
Looking at the smoke slowly rising from the roof, He Qin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this silly guy could actually make a fire.
But when he stepped into the kitchen, he almost fainted.
Because Lu Xiaobai was holding a gourd ladle, scooping water from the pot and pouring it into the hay, while stepping on it randomly with his feet...
