"Will this fish go bad if I take it away?"
Ling Xiao suggested taking the fish as well, and Meng Qidi was a little hesitant.
"Just keep it in water and you won't have to change the water along the way." Ling Xiao said it easily, as if it was a simple matter.
The guys who were helping catch fish in the pond had a bad feeling.
"Young man, what's wrong? Are you tired already? There are two fish ponds up here. Ling Xiao seems to be planning to catch all the fish. He said that he wants all of you soldiers."
Ling Hanfang had already rolled up his trouser legs and went into the water to help dig lotus roots.
The young man lowered his head silently. Catching fish is difficult, and he must not break the lotus root. Ling Yanwang said that if he breaks a lotus root, he will be punished by doing ten push-ups...
Ling Xiao had not been back for a long time and had no intention of going into the water to help, so he asked Meng Qidi to take him to Ling Laosi's house.
When the uncle came back, Xiaochengzi was the happiest. He skipped and jumped to the village with the two of them.
The car that went to Mengjia Lane to transport lotus roots came back, and Ling Xiao asked the two to go back and wait first.
"When are you leaving?" Meng Qidi pushed open the gate and asked. They couldn't waste too much time on these lotus roots.
"Let's go after we dig out the lotus roots." Ling Xiao followed her in.
"Is Ling Sixiong really gone? Don't come here at night."
He was a little worried that Ling Sixiong would come back in the middle of the night, and Xiaoqi would be in danger then.
"I'm too lazy to come here when it's so shabby. I don't know if Ling Laosi has left or not. If he wants the house back, I'll give it back to him for double the price."
Meng Qidi didn't care. She had originally planned to take the house for herself, but now that Ling Xiao was here, she didn't dare to say that...
"Just be careful, are you two responsible for all this?" Ling Xiao squatted down in the room and looked at them curiously.
In November, the weather is already cool, and you can still find some green vegetables outside. When it’s cold, you really can’t find other green vegetables.
In front of me is a green patch, with all kinds of green vegetables, onions, and radishes...
"Is that vine-like thing a watermelon or a pumpkin?" Ling Xiao asked suspiciously, pointing at the corner.
It's far away, and it's a bit dark here, so I can't see clearly.
"Xiao Chengzi asked the old man to plant them. He said they were watermelons. These two are thinking about eating watermelons in the winter."
Unfortunately, the old man made the melon sprout, and he went to Beijing City, so only one person was left to eat the melon.
"Have a dream." Ling Xiao raised his hand and rubbed the little girl's head. He was really greedy.
"Do you think this can be grown?" Meng Qidi looked at him suspiciously. She was impressed that they could grow watermelons.
This melon is not as simple as growing cabbage. It needs pollination. Of course, there are also those that don't need pollination, and you have to wait for decades, unless...
"Of course you can. Others can't, but you can. If it doesn't work in one year, you can do it in two years. If it doesn't work in two years, try again in three years. You will eventually succeed."
Meng Qidi chuckled and rolled her eyes at him, "Why do I feel like you're trying to provoke me? I don't have that ability."
"I believe you." Ling Xiao stretched out his hand with amusement and wanted to scratch her nose.
Meng Qidi stepped back in disdain, "Watch your hands, they're covered in mud, what are you doing?"
Mud? Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and glanced at his clean fingers, chuckling helplessly.
The two stayed in the greenhouse for a while before going back. The pond in front of the door was bustling with activity, and Wang Jinhua stood on the shore and stared at it.
She trusted the people her son brought back, but she was worried about those people in the village, fearing they might do something wrong.
After her son and his wife came back, Wang Jinhua handed the place over to them and brought Xiao Chengzi in.
This girl may not be good at anything else, but she is very good at making trouble.
"You go into the water, can your legs do that?"
Although it was noon, the water was still a little cold. Ling Xiao's leg had just healed, and she was a little worried.
Ling Xiao rolled up his trouser legs and jumped into the water neatly, "A man can't say no. Don't worry, my legs are fine."
"Tsk, don't be so stubborn. If anything happens to your leg, I won't be responsible."
Meng Qidi squatted down on the shore beside him and glanced into the water. "How about I go down and help?"
"No, the water is cold. If you're okay, I'll dig the lotus roots and you continue." Ling Xiao rolled up his sleeves, bent down and groped in the water.
Since the man didn't let her go into the water, Meng Qidi naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to jump in. She just squatted on the shore and watched.
Due to years of exercise, Ling Xiao's exposed arms were brown. When digging lotus roots, he exerted force with his hands and his muscles bulged, making people want to poke them.
"What's wrong?" Noticing her gaze, Ling Xiao looked up at her.
Meng Qidi looked away uncomfortably, "It's okay, I'm just a little worried about your legs, you have to take it easy."
"Well, I've almost recovered."
Ling Xiao continued to grope his hands in the water. If he hadn't taken into consideration that she was going to Beijing to study next year and he was afraid that this girl was planning to run away, he would have long since refused to stay in the recruit company to train a group of soldiers.
He would have to stay in Beijing for a year next year and coax her to live in the staff dormitory. Even if he had to live in the dormitory himself, it would be better than having her not by his side.
Meng Qidi did not doubt Ling Xiao's words. The leg that had been cured by the lotion should not recur. It was estimated that the hidden injuries on Ling Xiao's body were almost healed.
"Oh, I got it, get ready." Ling Xiao's face became serious at this moment, and he was groping carefully. Suddenly he paused, and the next second he stood up and caught a big fish directly.
Meng Qidi thought he was talking about lotus root, but she picked up a fish. Before she could react, the fish was thrown up by Ling Xiao.
She rushed over in a panic, the fish was too big, and she didn't have a big bucket, so she didn't have enough time...
She held the lively fish in her arms, but the next second, the fish's tail swung towards her, and Meng Qidi subconsciously leaned back to avoid it.
Although he avoided the tail of the fish, he was splashed with mud and water in his face.
"Ling Xiao!"
"I'll wipe it for you." Ling Xiao stretched out his hand with a smile, wanting to help her wipe it clean so as not to leave any bad influence.
Meng Qidi held down the huge fish weighing several dozen kilograms and stared at the man's muddy hands.
"Don't move! Ling Xiao, I think you won't stop until you touch my face!"
"Nonsense, am I that kind of person?" Ling Xiao glanced at the fish that was still struggling, "Let me take care of this fish."
"No need. This is probably the king of fish. If it escapes, it will escape. We will catch it sooner or later anyway."
Meng Qidi doesn't care if the fish run away. The pond belongs to her. No matter where she hides in the pond, she will be caught. At most, it will just be a waste of manpower.
The two of them were talking in low voices, and several young men on the opposite side gathered together, "Tsk, such a beautiful wife, Ling Yanwang was so cruel, what a beast..."
"He is worse than an animal. My sister-in-law is so clean, but he threw the fish on her. It's so abominable."
Another young man muttered, "But, I think sister-in-law and Ling Yanwang are a good match..."
Besides, that was just fun between husband and wife.
"Who are you speaking for? You are not on our side." Several guys glared angrily at their friends who had already rebelled.
