Lu Jing was stared at with an innocent look on his face, "Did I let you sleep until now?"
Zhou Qian gave him a look that said, "Don't you know what's going on?" and told him to figure it out on his own. Then, he was dragged away by Maotou's mother to have breakfast.
Because lunch was coming up soon, Zhou Qian only drank a bowl of porridge and ate two dumplings.
Just after finishing eating, Lu Jing came wandering in.
"I've finished my noodles, I took the bowl down myself."
Zhou Qian was slightly startled, "What does it have to do with me?"
"Didn't you say last night that you would check today?"
"I just said go get the bowl."
"Taking the bowl is just checking."
Zhou Qian admitted that the purpose of going to get the bowl the next day was indeed to let him eat the noodles. At this time, Maotou's mother said that she was going to the fields to pick radishes and asked Maotou to go with her to help.
Zhou Qian became interested and ran out to help.
When Maotou's mother heard that she wanted to go too, she waved her hand and said, "No, no, you are too delicate to do such rough work."
Zhou Qian was unconvinced, "Auntie, don't look down on me. I also grew up in the countryside when I was a child. I can do all kinds of farm work."
Besides, pulling out radishes is not that difficult.
"But the wind is so strong in the fields, you can't wear this."
This really stumped Zhou Qian. She didn't bring any clothes with her and this was the only set of clothes she had.
Just then, a delivery man came to the door and delivered something. It was the clothes that Lu Jing ordered for Zhou Qian last night.
He ordered two suits, both inside and out, and a heavy woolen coat.
"Who bought it?" Zhou Qian asked while holding the clothes.
"Who else could it be other than Brother Jing?" Maotou laughed.
Zhou Qian looked at Lu Jing. Lu Jing didn't say anything. He went to the side to smoke with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Auntie, I have clothes, let's go."
Zhou Qian took the coat and put it on, and felt his body warm instantly.
Several people set off together. Maotou pulled the tractor and invited Zhou Qian with a smile, "Sister-in-law, are you tired? Come on up and I'll pull you up."
Zhou Qian glanced at the round tractor and imagined himself nestled inside it. The first thing that came to his mind was an old hen laying eggs.
Her eyes moved, "I don't need it. Leave it to someone with poor health."
Maotou immediately understood what she meant and said to Lu Jing, who was walking at the end, "Brother Jing, you're not feeling well. Come up and I'll hold you up."
Lu Jing shot a cold look at him, then glared hard at the instigator.
When he looked at her, Zhou Qian deliberately turned her face away, pretending not to see him.
A few people came to the fields chatting and laughing. Zhou Qian stood in the endless radish field, dumbfounded.
She originally thought it was just a radish field, but it turned out to be...
This is too scary!
Aren’t they all from the Maotou family?
Zhou Qian moved next to Maotou and asked quietly, "Are all these radishes from your family?"
If that's all, it would take them at least a month to pull it out!
Maotou laughed foolishly and said, "If they were all mine, I would be rich."
Zhou Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Why do you plant so many radishes?"
"The radishes grown in our soil are delicious. Every year, many people from other places come to buy them. It is also a good source of income for the villagers."
Zhou Qian nodded and rolled up his sleeves to get started, only to find that the coat he was wearing was a bit out of place when pulling radishes.
But she didn't care about that anymore and just did it first.
Just as Zhou Qian was about to strike, a pair of gloves appeared nearby. She looked up and asked, "Why, are you looking down on me?"
"Just wear it if I give it to you. How can it harm you?" Lu Jing said unhappily.
Zhou Qian took it anyway, put on gloves, and started pulling the radishes out of the ground like everyone else.
The soil was relatively moist, so pulling it out didn't take much effort.
There were also people picking radishes in other radish fields. From a distance, the young mother was shouting and greeting them.
They were speaking in dialect, and Zhou Qian roughly understood what they were saying. The other person was envious of their family for having so many people helping to pick radishes this year.
Zhou Qian worked for more than ten minutes, her waist feeling a bit strained. She stood up to rest her waist, looked at the vast radish field, and asked Maotou, "Do you dig radishes like this every year? Don't you have any machines for digging them?"
"The machine can easily damage the radishes, and there are no roads in the mountains, so the machine can't get in. Although this is a large area, each household actually doesn't have many, and it only takes a few days for manual labor to finish it."
"I see some radishes haven't grown yet. Can't they grow a few more days?"
"This type of radish must be harvested immediately after the first frost. It is crisp and juicy. If left for a few days, it will lose its flavor."
"If you don't believe me, I'll wash one for you to try." Maotou picked up a white radish and a green radish from the ground, washed them in a stream not far away, and cut them with a knife.
Zhou Qian saw the purple radish Maotou brought over and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, this color is so pretty!"
I didn’t expect that the green-skinned radish with an unattractive appearance actually has purple-red flesh inside, and it is so juicy that it makes people salivate just by looking at it.
"I want to eat the purple one first."
Zhou Qian went up and grabbed a piece of purple radish, and took a bite. Just as Maotou said, it was crisp and refreshing, with sweet juice. After eating this bite, he wanted to eat another one.
Zhou Qian was just about to put the remaining half of the radish into her mouth when a head suddenly popped out and snatched away the half of the radish in her hand.
Zhou Qian's eyes widened, "Why are you stealing mine?"
Lu Jing chewed the radish with a crunching sound. "Yours is sweet."
“…”
She couldn't refute it.
"Brother Jing, do you want to say that sister-in-law's saliva is sweet?" Maotou joked.
"You're the only one who understands." Lu Jing threw something at him with his hand.
Maotou hid for a moment with a playful smile, then handed Zhou Qian another piece of radish, "Try the white one, it's delicious too."
Zhou Qian took one red and one white this time.
Lu Jing watched her eating with gusto and frowned.
Zhou Qian glanced at him sideways, "What's with that expression?"
"Eat less."
Zhou Qian pretended not to hear, "It's not like we're eating your food."
"Although the radish is not mine, you have to kiss me."
"..." Zhou Qian's mouth twitched, "Who said I want to kiss you? You... um..."
Lu Jing didn't give her a chance to finish her words. He grabbed the back of her head with great dominance and kissed her hard on the lips.
The people next to him covered their eyes, while others looked up at the sky.
Zhou Qian stomped on Lu Jing's foot in shame and anger, but Lu Jing seemed to have expected this and did not let her succeed. He even kissed her arrogantly for a long time.
When he let her go, the fire in Zhou Qian's eyes was more fierce than the sun hanging in the sky, but fortunately Maotou and the others had gone to work at this time, so it was not so embarrassing.
The culprit was licking the water stains at the corner of his mouth in a naughty manner, as if showing off his achievements, which made Zhou Qian even more annoyed.
Lu Jing knew what she had been thinking about from yesterday until now, and sighed helplessly, "If you want to ask, just ask. Why are you sulking?"
"What do you want to ask?" Zhou Qian's expression suddenly turned cold. "I'm asking if it's fun to watch me get fooled for so many years?"
