Chapter 51051 Chu Song is busy
Chu Song ignored his obvious sadness, turned around, and said cheerfully, "Brother Lu, let's go! My mother asked me to bring you home for lunch."
Lu Minglin responded softly, "Yeah."
The two walked one after the other. Chu Song's mood was not affected at all, but rather quite good. "Brother Lu, we're having pig's trotter soup for lunch today. Isn't that a rare treat? My mother is so generous for once."
"…Um."
The more depressed he was, the better Chu Song's mood became. He went home happily with the book in his hands. Ye Xiuzhi was not surprised. After all, the little girl was happy every day, and no one knew what she was happy about.
However, Ye Xiuzhi took a few more glances at Xiao Lu who was standing behind her. Although he was forcing a smile, there was a melancholy between his brows that could not be wiped away.
What happened? She was too embarrassed to ask more, in case it was someone else's private matter.
"Xiao Lu, how's your wound? Does it still hurt?"
"Thank you Aunt Ye for your concern. I'm almost recovered now."
Chu Heng was a doctor, and when he changed Lu Minglin's dressing, he also said that the wound was healing well. Ye Xiuzhi smiled and said, "Youth is good, young man, young and strong."
Chu Song nodded in agreement. She had seen a little of it when her second brother was changing the dressing before. She didn't expect that Lu Minglin, who looked like a thin scholar, had a surprisingly good figure. The muscle lines were just right, neither too exaggerated, but still showing strength and beauty.
Just a little bit worse than her!
Ye Xiuzhi glanced at her and asked, "Why are you nodding?"
Chu Song: "I was praising Brother Lu for being young and strong."
“…”You are such a grown-up girl, you have no shame.
But Ye Xiuzhi didn't say much, because once she did, the topic became ambiguous. She patted Chu Song and said, "Go, pick some green onions."
"No, there are bugs in the ground, and I'm afraid of them."
"Who among us villagers is afraid of bugs? You are so big, how could a bug eat you? You might as well eat it yourself."
Having said that, the last time Chu Song went to the field to pick green vegetables, she touched a fat cabbage worm that was the same color as the green vegetables. It was not poisonous, but the soft feeling scared her so much that she almost threw away all the greens in her hand.
Chu Song shook his head: "No! No, I'm scared, go by yourself."
"..." Ye Xiuzhi's face was full of disgust. She was becoming more and more spoiled. "What else can you do?"
Lu Minglin hurriedly said, "Aunt Ye, I'll go."
"No, no, I don't need you."
"It's okay, I just have nothing to do."
Ye Xiuzhi: "Okay then."
However, Chu Song still couldn't escape the labor. Ye Xiuzhi asked her to take Lu Minglin to the field to pick some cucumbers to make cold cucumber salad later. The cucumbers she grew herself were crispy and delicious.
Chu Song brought people to his own vegetable garden. Everyone in the Chu family, except Chu Song, was very hardworking, so the vegetables in the small vegetable garden were growing well.
"Oh, oh, be careful." Chu Song said without any pain in his waist. "You are so clumsy. Don't step on anything on the ground."
"good."
"I have contributed to this vegetable garden." She would occasionally water the plants when she was bored.
Lu Minglin laughed: "Yeah, very impressive."
Chu Song hummed and directed him to pick green onions and cucumbers, and then the two returned together and handed the things to Xiang Baoshu.
Now, the power of the kitchen is basically in the hands of Xiang Baoshu. Because she cooks delicious food, she easily captured the Chu family.
Chu Song felt that Ye Xiuzhi wanted to take her in as her goddaughter, so she curled her lips and said sarcastically: "Alas, it was a wrong choice after all. Xiang Baoshu is a treasure, and I am just grass in the field, anyone can step on me."
Ye Xiuzhi was speechless. She was used to her occasional fits. "What are you mumbling about again? Who stepped on you? As the old saying goes, a dog doesn't mind a poor home, and a mother doesn't mind her child's ugliness."
Chu Song: "...Bah, you're the ugly one."
Ye Xiuzhi was too lazy to pay attention to her.
It was lunchtime when Brother Chu came back from outside, panting and bringing back a piece of news.
That old Liu will be executed by firing squad this afternoon!
Ye Xiuzhi spat: "Good death, he deserved it, a beast like him should have been shot long ago!"
Chu Song said excitedly: "Mom, can I go and watch the fun?"
As soon as the words fell, she was met with another eye roll. Ye Xiuzhi frowned and said, "What's so good about it? You are not allowed to go. No one is allowed to go. Leave this beast alone."
The main thing is, although Liu Laogui deserved it, the scene of the execution was so bloody. Aren’t you afraid of having nightmares after watching it?
Because they were concerned about Chu Song's reputation and worried about the villagers gossiping, the Chu family did not tell anyone about Liu Laocui's incident. The fewer people who knew about it, the better. They only said that Liu Laocui harassed women and was sentenced to death for hooliganism.
Chu Hang said, "Don't worry, Mom. We want to go but haven't had time yet. We have to work in the afternoon."
Ye Xiuzhi looked at Chu Song, and Chu Song quickly raised his hand: "Okay, okay, I won't go."
"Besides!" Chu Song said seriously, "I'm busy too, okay? I have to take a nap in the afternoon. After I wake up, I wash my face. Then I have to let the chickens, ducks and geese out, pick up the eggs in the nest, take them out to find food, and then I have to lock them up after the walk. I'm so busy."
Everyone: “…”
Lu Minglin was silent for a moment, then said reluctantly, "It's indeed a bit busy. You've done so much in one afternoon. It's hard work."
Xiang Baoshu didn't say anything, just glanced over and frowned slightly, but no one noticed.
Chu Song: "Not bad, those who are capable should do more work."
Ye Xiuzhi turned her head and pretended not to hear. Xiao Lu was really depraved to say such words.
She sighed, feeling proud at the same time.
Chu Song now makes money...she calls it writing. Yes, she makes money by writing. At first, everyone thought she was bragging, but it turned out to be true! Not only that, she makes more money in a month than her entire family combined!
Therefore, Ye Xiuzhi had no reason to let her go back to work. After all, the few work points she earned were just a drop in the bucket at most, and no one would care about them.
As a result, Chu Song couldn't stay idle, so he found himself a job walking chickens and ducks.
When Ye Xiuzhi recalled that scene, her heart suddenly softened. Not to mention, Chu Song had a good connection with animals. She was walking in front, followed by a line of chicks and ducklings, and in front was a big fat goose that she had brought from Chu Liangcai's house.
They are all very obedient and don't need to be tied up. They will come back the same way they went.
Chu Song said this is her secret to breeding chickens, ducks and geese. You have to keep them in a good mood at all times, take them for walks when you have nothing to do, and it’s best to touch them every day.
Ye Xiuzhi didn't believe it. He wasn't a human, so how could he be so happy? She had never heard of such a perverse theory.
She didn't know if it was a coincidence, but she found that since Chu Song started walking the chickens and ducks, the eggs laid by the hens at home were indeed a little bigger.
Ye Xiuzhi: “…”Okay.
Fools have good fortune.
After dinner, Chu Song let out the chickens, ducks and geese. She had eaten too much at noon, so she decided to take a walk to digest the food.
Seeing her leave, Lu Minglin immediately said goodbye.
There was only a small path in front of the Chu family's gate. Lu Minglin followed Chu Song slowly. When they reached the fork in the road, Chu Song found that Lu Minglin was still following her.
Chu Song turned around and asked, "Aren't you going back to the educated youth camp? Why are you still following me?"
Lu Minglin: "I have nothing to do this afternoon. Can I accompany you? Just take a walk. If you think I'm being noisy, I can be quiet."
That's a bit humble.
Chu Song refused coldly: "No..."
"I have some beef jerky here, would you like some?"
Oh no, it’s a bad temptation!
Chu Song couldn't resist the temptation. She stopped herself from saying anything else and compromised, "Okay, but I can only follow you to the river. If we go any further, there will be more people around. I'm afraid people will misunderstand."
Lu Minglin's heart choked and he agreed.
In the past, he was afraid of being misunderstood and unable to explain himself clearly. Now that the situation has changed, he hopes that others will misunderstand him, but Chu Song used this set of rhetoric.
In fact, Chu Song was not afraid of being misunderstood. She wanted to go find Xiaofang for a date. It would be great to make a date while walking the chickens and ducks, maximizing the use of time.
Life in the seventies was very boring. If Chu Song didn't talk about a few more things, he would be bored to death.
The two walked slowly along the path and unknowingly arrived at the river. Lu Minglin felt a little sad, wondering how they got there so quickly.
"We're here! We're here! Go back quickly and don't follow me." Chu Song urged him immediately.
She waved her hands, looking as if she wanted to reach out and push again, as if it was a task that she had to complete.
Although, it is true...
Lu Minglin's eyes dimmed slightly, "Okay."
He didn't want to leave, but he was afraid of annoying others.
Chu Song waited until he could no longer see anyone before turning up the slope and running to look for Fang Qingrong. Without her, Fang Qingrong was now working alone. He was a loner by nature and always did his own work. Even the work he was asked to do was the work that others had left over or were unwilling to do.
But Fang Qingrong enjoyed it very much.
Because this made it convenient for the young couple to have secret dates, Fang Qingrong did not stop for a moment in the morning, not even having time to drink a sip of water, trying to finish all the work, and then squeeze out some free time in the afternoon to accompany Chu Song.
"Small room, small room~"
Fang Qingrong was originally in a daze. He heard a voice from afar and knew it was Chu Song. He stood up, smiled shyly, and asked, "Why are you here so early today?"
She used to take a nap.
Chu Song's lips touched, and he said the truth with a lingering feeling: "Oh, because I miss you so much, I can't help but want to see you."
"Me, me too."
Chu Song blew a kiss to her from a distance, making her blush. Fang Qingrong was still shy now, and compared to before, there was some improvement, but not much.
This is also due to Chu Song's persistence in teasing people.
Chu Song: "Where are we going to play today?"
"Let's go pick magpies. Do you want to go? They're edible and taste sour and sweet." Fang Qingrong had planned it long ago. He didn't have anything to show off, so in order not to disappoint Chu Song, he even went to the mountains to scout the area a day in advance.
"Okay." Chu Song was brave enough to try new things.
Liang Jiayao and Fang Qingrong gave her different experiences, just like when you eat too much meat and fish, there will always be a few days when you want to try some porridge and side dishes.
vice versa.
The quercetin, also known as sour fruit in some places, is one of the common wild fruits in the mountains. It is about half the size of a fingernail and can be eaten in one bite. It tastes sour and sweet.
Following his memory of the spot, Fang Qingrong took Chu Song to pick the sweetest guava from a tree on a nearby hill. He didn't pick too many, just two handfuls, enough for Chu Song to enjoy.
After all, it is a wild fruit, and eating too much is not good for you.
Chu Song held two handfuls of quercetin and ate them as he walked. He ate the sweet ones himself and gave the sour ones to Fang Qingrong.
Fang Qingrong didn't mind and would eat whatever Chu Song fed him. Sometimes, when Chu Song was feeling bad, he would stuff the leaves of the jacaranda into his mouth, and Fang Qingrong would chew them without hesitation.
Chu Song: “…”
Fang Qingrong whispered, "The leaves are edible and not poisonous. The leaves of the jacaranda can also be used as tea and soaked in water to drink."
Chu Song asked, "What if it's poisonous?"
