Yan Xinian quickly brought Liao Cheng back.

Liao Cheng had a bottle of wine in his arms, with a smile on his face, "I'm here to eat again."

Xia Lunong brought the dishes to the table, came up to greet him, and said with a smile, "Brother Liao Cheng."

"Hey." Liao Cheng approached, suddenly stopped, looked up and down at Xia Lunong, and asked in confusion, "Has Xiao Nong grown taller?"

Xia Lunong touched her head, "Really?"

Xia Huoqu said beside her, "Grown a little taller, about two centimeters."

"No wonder I looked different from the side." Liao Cheng smiled, "Twenty-three, a little bit of a wake-up call, Xiao Nong can still grow a few more years."

Xia Lunong turned her head to look at Kong Zhi, who was at least 1.9 meters tall, and her eyes immediately showed hope.

Xia Huoqu asked, "What have you been busy with these days? I see you wandering around in the rice fields every day."

"Ah, this--" Liao Cheng said, "Did you know that Old Liu recently got a batch of carp fry?"

Xia Huoqu really didn't know, he asked, "Where did they come from?"

"I can't explain it clearly, I just know that he got a batch of carp fry, saying that they can be raised in rice fields. Now everyone is busy converting the rice fields - digging deep trenches in the rice fields to raise carp."

Xia Lunong's family did not grow rice, he just asked with great interest: "Didn't those carp mutate?"

Now animals and plants are mutating, just like the chickens in his family. As they were raised, one had a butt and another had a comb. If you raise carp in the fields, they will not escape the fate of mutation.

"No, the carp is only as thick as a finger, so it won't change much. It's not easy for ordinary people to catch fish, but if you raise some in the rice fields, you can at least get some meat to eat. It doesn't take much effort anyway."

Liao Cheng saw his expression and thought he was tempted, so he said, "Old Liu has a man who is very good at raising fish fry. He sells his fish fry very cheaply. This is the first year and he said there will be a discount. One kilogram of rice can be exchanged for ten fish. If there is any problem, we can still provide it." Go find them, they will help answer the questions. "

Xia Lunong nodded, "That's really a good idea."

Liao Cheng smiled, "Yes, it's better than going out hunting. Can't Kong Zhi and the other orcs who stayed in the base still get to divide the land? Now is the time to plant late rice. If the land is used to plant rice, you can just raise the fish."

Xia Lunong had never heard of the land division. He raised his head and quietly glanced at Kong Zhi opposite him. Kong Zhi's expression was indifferent.

He didn't dare to ask, so he looked up at his brother, hoping to change the subject.

Xia Huoqu exchanged glances with him, then withdrew his gaze and naturally called out to Liao Cheng, "Let's talk about this later. Eat the food first, or it will get cold."

Liao Cheng's attention really turned to the food on the table. He sniffed hard, "Is this dish made by Xiao Nong? It smells delicious."

Xia Lunong said enthusiastically, "Eat more if you like it."

After dinner, Liao Cheng said goodbye and went home, while Yan Xinian and Xia Huoqu went to wash the dishes. Only Kong

Zhi and Xia Lunong were left in the living room.

Xia Lunong looked at Kong Zhi, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Kong Zhi looked at his expression and said, "I haven't received any news about the division of land. If there is, I will give it to you to plant."

"No, no, no, no need." Xia Lunong waved her hand quickly, "Your land, you take care of it yourself."

Kong Zhi looked at him for a while, nodded, and said nothing.

Yan Xinian had sharp ears and heard them talking in the kitchen.

When they came out, Yan Xinian said, "Old Liu is really well-informed. We are indeed discussing the distribution of land to new members, but it has not been finalized yet. The relationship between the base and the members is two-way. After the members take the land from the base, they also have to hand in supplies. The specific way to do it needs to be discussed again."

Kong Zhi nodded.

Yan Xinian sat on the sofa and said to Kong Zhi, "Anyway, you can stay here with peace of mind. We should be able to discuss the results in the next two days, and it will not delay the planting of late rice."

After dinner, Xia Huoqu went to Yan Xinian's house to sleep.

Now Xia Huoqu lives in the guest room of Yan Xinian's house and goes there every night. Only Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi are at home.

The two get along well now, and it is not awkward to be alone.

After Xia Lunong washed up, she said good night to Kong Zhi and went to sleep.

Xia Lunong slept very soundly, but Kong Zhi did not fall asleep in the middle of the night. When he woke up the next day, his eyes were blue and yellow, and he looked listless.

He was very surprised. Looking at Kong Zhi's appearance, he pondered for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why this young man went into the room early and still didn't get enough sleep?

When Xia Lunong passed by, she poked him with her elbow, smiled and asked in a low voice: "What did you do last night? Young people should be restrained."

Kong Zhi looked at him expressionlessly, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched his neck.

"Ah——" Even if Xia Lunong turned back into a human form, the neck was still a fatal part.

He shrank his head as he was pinched, and tried to break free from Kong Zhi's hand, but he couldn't, so he had to beg for mercy, "Oh, I was wrong, please let me go--"

Kong Zhi lifted his white and tender little neck, gave him an ambiguous look, and let go of his hand.

Xia Lunong took two steps forward in frustration, "You guys, don't pinch my neck just because you're taller than me. Can you pinch a cat's neck? Be careful or I'll pinch you."

Kong Zhi stretched out his hand and gestured behind his neck, and asked condescendingly, "Pinch who?"

"I'll pinch whoever provokes me." Xia Lunong pushed his hand away with her teeth and claws, and halfway through, she grabbed his wrist and pulled it back, "I want to roast the lamb this morning, and I can't move it by myself, come and help me."

The lamb had been marinated, and when the bamboo basket was opened, there was a smell of seasoning inside, which was quite tempting even though it was not roasted yet.

Kong Zhi took a look, went to get the bamboo that Yan Xinian had cut last night, put the lamb on the bamboo, and fixed it with clean wire, and moved it out to hang it on the rack, waiting for Xia Lunong to light a fire to roast it.

All the meat for the day is here. Xia Lunong had two bowls of porridge for breakfast and then came to roast the lamb.

Kong Zhi came over to help, turning the lamb from time to time.

Xia Lunong turned it carefully.

The lamb was quite fat, and as it roasted over the charcoal fire, fat began to drip from its body.

The fat fell into the charcoal pile, and small flames rose.

The unique aroma of lamb slowly drifted out, and it spread for dozens of meters.

People passing by smelled it and came up to take a look.

In the morning, a half-grown child who had been in the same base with Kong Zhi came to the door and timidly called Kong Zhi to a meeting.

Xia Lunong asked, "What meeting?"

The child whispered, "They said they were going to divide the land."

Kong Zhi nodded to the child and said to Xia Lunong, "I'll know when I go there. If you can't turn, put out the charcoal first and I'll come back to continue roasting."

"No, it's not heavy. Go ahead. You should be able to eat roasted whole lamb when you come back."

Kong Zhi nodded and followed the child to leave .

Xia Lunong watched him walk halfway and suddenly called him, "Hey, Kong Zhi, you will stay, right?"

Kong Zhi turned his head and looked at him, and nodded after a moment.

Kong Zhi drove back.

Xia Lunong was left alone. No matter how delicious the roasted whole lamb on the charcoal fire was, he was not paying attention to it.

Xia Huoqu came back first and saw his brother sitting in the yard in a daze with the lamb in front of him almost burnt. He gently touched his brother's cheek and said, "What are you thinking about? The lamb is going to be burnt."

"It's far from done. I'll watch it." Xia Lunong turned the roasted whole lamb over and asked his brother, "Didn't we just talk about dividing the land last night? Why are we having a meeting today?"

Xia Huoqu took a small stool and sat opposite him and said, "It's just dividing some land. It's not a difficult choice. It's been discussed in the base a long time ago, but some people from Zhang Shihai's side are hesitant and have been waiting and watching."

Xia Lunong thought to herself, it turns out that this matter has been discussed before, no wonder Kong Zhi voted to stay.

He asked, "Why are they hesitating? Are they dissatisfied with our base?"

"Not really." Xia

Huo said, "They heard about the Spark Project and this time they want to join the Spark Project in one go to avoid the hassle of running around in the future." Xia Huo explained a few sentences and concluded, "Kong Zhi has always wanted to stay here, and he should choose to stay this time."

Xia Lunong said, "Oh," and turned the roasted golden lamb over again, her movements becoming much brisker.

Kong Zhi soon came back from the meeting. The first thing he said when he saw Xia Lunong was, "I joined the base." The

second sentence was, "The base gave us adults four mu of land and minors three mu of land. I rented two minors' land, a total of one mu."

Xia Lunong immediately ignored the roasted whole lamb and stood up in shock and asked, "What are you renting so much land for?"

"Grow late rice and raise some fish. Don't you like eating fish?" Kong Zhi took the roasted whole lamb and said lightly, "The lamb is ready."

Xia Huoqu laughed beside him, "You and your brother will be able to eat it later."

Yan Xinian came back soon after, holding a bottle of wine in his hand. He shook the bottle in his hand as he approached, "Today I exchanged a bottle of lychee wine from Lao Liu, which is just right to go with the roasted whole lamb to celebrate Kong Zhi joining our big family."

Xia Lunong rubbed his forehead, "Are you starting to drink at noon?"

"It's okay to drink a little." Yan Xinian opened the bottle cap and stuffed the bottle into his arms, "Try it, the whole bottle is full of lychee flavor, just like putting the essence of lychee into the wine. If you smell it carefully, you can smell the summer in Lingnan."

Xia Lunong's arms were stuffed full, and the wine swayed out and splashed a small spot on the back of his hand. It was indeed full of lychee flavor.

Yan Xinian had already cut a piece of browned roasted lamb with a knife and ate it.

This lamb was purely wild, and it was marinated with a lot of ingredients and then grilled. There was no smell of mutton when it was roasted, but it had a milky taste. It was fat but not greasy, tender but not dry, and the abundant gravy burst in the mouth with fat, followed by the spicy taste of chili.

A mouthful of roasted lamb, the flavors overlapped, extremely rich.

Yan Xinian couldn't help but narrow his eyes and gave Xia Lu Nong a thumbs up, "Delicious!"
