Is he teasing me?
The boss was so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits, and he happily agreed: "Okay! We Song family are generous, I will cover the shipping fee for you."
The boys excitedly pulled the boss out to the door of the store. Jiang Lin held up an umbrella and directed, "Photographer, please take a complete picture of our brother's store name, and give our generous and handsome Brother Song a close-up!"
Li Xuran waved his hands, "Dear friends, when you buy fertilizers, pesticides, mulch films and other agricultural products, please look for our open-minded Brother Song!"
Pei Xu was laughing so hard that he doubled over. He said jokingly, "The two of you standing there holding Brother Song's arm, it looks like you've kidnapped someone and threatened them to take a video and send it to their family for ransom."
"This is our sincerity towards our long-term partners." Jiang Lin said to Brother Song.
Song Ge's cheeks were slightly red, and he shook hands with him happily: "Long-term cooperation, if you have any needs or don't understand, you can ask me, I will definitely help if I can!"
"Oh! Let's just say today is a good day! I met a noble man!" Jiang Lin held Brother Song's hands with both hands, "Brother, let's add each other on WeChat. If you need help in the future, just look for me shamelessly."
Rain splashed onto the ground along the dark green tarpaulin. Tiny water droplets hung on the boys' eyelashes. They walked on the muddy ridges of the fields wearing raincoats and carrying black mulch. Their long black rubber rain boots were covered with mud. The soles were getting thicker and thicker, and the boys grew several centimeters taller on the spot.
Pei Zongxu hurried over wearing a raincoat and an electric bike helmet and joined the moving team.
Pei Xu stood on the ridge of the field, squinting his eyes and shouting, "Brothers, we need two more volumes here!"
Pei Zongli heard his cry and turned around and went straight towards him.
The newly dug furrow was filled with water. Pei Xu stepped into the furrow to test the depth of the water. The soil on the edge of the furrow loosened and slid down a little. Pei Zongli put down the mulch, walked to his side and said: The water is almost over the ankles, we must drain the water! "
Pei Xu looked up when he heard the sound. The heavy rain washed his face mercilessly. He wiped his face and said to Pei Zongli: "Old comrade, it's raining heavily! Why don't you stay at home and come to the fields?"
Pei Zongli ignored his question and looked at the water that had already reached his ankles. "We need to drain the water as soon as possible. It's going to rain tonight, and the soil will become soft and prone to collapse!"
Man proposes, God disposes. The continuous sunny days made the land extremely dry. Pei Xu deliberately blocked the side ditch to moisten the land, but unexpectedly, heavy rain continued to fall, and it was urgent to open the side ditch!
Pei Xu bent down to block the rain and called Jiang Lin: "Mr. Jiang, go home and get a few shovels to the fields. We have to open the ditches, otherwise the ridges will collapse."
Jiang Lin and Li Xuran handed them the shovels. Pei Xu turned around and looked at Pei Zongli's red hands from the cold, and said anxiously, "Old comrade, go home quickly, we can do it."
"One more person means more strength. There's a lot of work waiting to be done in the fields!" Pei Zongli's lips trembled slightly.
"What are you doing? There's no share of the six shovels for you. Go home."
Pei Zongli said stubbornly: "How can a son control his father? Just do your thing and leave me alone."
Pei Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he watched Pei Zongli turn around and leave, leaving him with a stubborn back.
The shovel was covered with mud, and the drain outlet of the ditch was opened. The water flowed through the drain outlet to another field, and finally gathered into the diversion channel.
Pei Zongli silently helped the children carry the plastic film. On a cold and wet rainy day, the camera teachers couldn't help shivering with cold. The sixty-year-old man walked firmly in the muddy rainy day, supporting the children with his feet on the ground.
The dried lychee trunks were on fire in the abandoned iron pot, occasionally making crackling sounds. The boys gathered around the brazier to keep warm. Cheng Enyue came out of the bathroom and called out, "Brother Xu, hurry up and take a shower."
Pei Xu's trouser legs were still dripping with water, and his feet were frozen white. He glanced at Jiang Lin and said, "Go wash first."
"You don't have many dry spots on your body. Go quickly."
Pei Xu pushed him and said, "Go quickly."
Jiang Lin teased him maliciously: "You are dawdling and not going to wash, do you want to wash with me?"
"It's not impossible for us to take a shower together, but..." Pei Xu looked up and down at his body, "I'm afraid that you, a big star, don't have a body as good as mine, and you'll feel inferior and cry with your face covered."
Jiang Lin tried to tear off his down jacket, but Pei Xu reached back and grabbed his hands. He was amused: "Why are you trying to be a hooligan? You have no martial ethics!"
Jiang Lin leaned forward and struggled with his hands. He finally pulled one hand out and reached into his clothes. "I want to feel your abdominal muscles!"
Pei Xu was stunned for a moment when his hand, which was warmed by the fire, touched the warm chest muscles through the T-shirt. He grabbed his hand and shouted, "What's wrong with you? Are you serious?"
Next to the brazier, the air around was gradually heating up, and their cheeks were unconsciously warmed up during the fight. Their upper bodies were wrestling, and the stool fell backwards, and the two were pulled to the ground. Jiang Lin's center of gravity suddenly moved forward, and he pulled his hands back and subconsciously supported them on both sides of Pei Xu's arms.
Pei Xu placed his hands on his chest to protect his open down jacket, and their lower bodies overlapped. Jiang Lin was stunned and looked at him motionlessly.
In a strange posture, Song Yifan heard the noise and leaned out of the window to look, "Brother Xu, why are you two lying on the ground? Who won?"
This word startled the two people. Jiang Lin stood up and didn't dare to look at Pei Xu. He said, "I'm going to take a shower first."
Song Yifan followed him and said, "It's obvious that Brother Lin lost. He needs to practice more."
Jiang Lin lay on the bed and recalled. The two were very close to each other, listening to each other's breathing. Pei Xu's eyes were fixed on him.
"No! Why didn't he push me away?" Jiang Lin sat up like a catapult, muttering, "This posture is so ambiguous! Especially between two men, shouldn't he push me away subconsciously? Could it be that Pei Xu is not straight either?"
Jiang Lin's orientation is not a minority orientation in the entertainment industry, and he has become a radar to discern people with the same orientation. But since he met Pei Xu, he has been unsure of Pei Xu's orientation, and he even thought that Pei Xu had a girlfriend and was not the same type as him.
Pei Xu captured the key information from those seemingly joking and teasing fragments of information, and with his academic master's insight and summarizing ability, he determined Jiang Lin's sexual orientation.
"Jiang Lin won't doubt me, right? Is he starting to tease me?"
The two people, each with their own thoughts, met each other early in the morning with dark circles under their eyes, and the kitchen was filled with the aroma of glutinous corn.
Li Xuran chewed corn and said, "This rain will last forever. I was woken up by the sound of rain this morning, but I didn't want to get up."
"I dreamed last night that we had just planted the seedlings, but the river in the village rose in water, flooding the fields and drowning all the seedlings." Song Yifan's tone was nasal, as if he had a cold.
Pei Xu said quickly: "That's not something you can talk about. We will definitely have a great harvest!"
"Why are you still talking nonsense?" Jiang Lin took a corn from the pot and said jokingly, "You are a doctor, you have to pay attention to science."
"I have a PhD, but I am Chinese. I have auspicious culture in my genes. Look at the calendar every day, it has marks on it, what is auspicious and what is not auspicious today. Farming also has to follow the culture passed down by our ancestors."
Jiang Lin listened to Pei Xu's words, chewed corn and took out his cell phone, saying in surprise: "It's true. Today is a good day to set up the bed, break ground, and move. It's not a good day to get married."
Song Yifan asked: "Brother Lin, what's your zodiac sign?"
"I'm a Leo."
"Let me see the fortune of Leo today. Leo's fortune today is favorable, but you may have an argument with others. Be careful not to get into an argument with others."
Jiang Lin laughed and said, "Even if I want to quarrel on this rainy day, where can I find someone to quarrel with? The chickens and dogs are all staying indoors and won't go out."
It caused a burst of laughter.
It rained in the winter in Peijia Village, and the cold and dampness penetrated into the bones. The young men from the north felt very uncomfortable because their clothes were cold and wet.
Li Xuran was walking forward pulling the mulch film, when he suddenly stopped and walked back.
Song Yifan asked: "What's wrong? Are you tired?"
"Can you help me check if my raincoat is torn? It feels like my clothes are soaked through and stick to my body, which makes me feel cold."
Song Yifan checked it and said, "It's fine. This is purely a magic attack from the south. The winter in the north is dry, but here it's very cold and damp. It's even colder indoors than outdoors, especially when it rains. I'm freezing."
Li Xuran shuddered and sniffed. "The sunny weather a few days ago made me sweat profusely, as if it was summer. But once it rained, the weather immediately went to two extremes, changing its face in a unique way."
"As a southerner, I was not used to Beijing when I first arrived there. I couldn't sleep at night, my nose and throat felt dry, and I even had a nosebleed. I was so scared that I searched online for tips and immediately placed an order for a humidifier. It will take a few days to get used to it, and just wear two more layers of clothes."
Li Xuran pointed at the camera and said, "I already look fat on camera. If I wear two more pieces, I'll look like a bun."
Song Yifan urged him: "Then hurry up and work. It will warm you up if you move. Today's goal is to pave ten acres of land. We can't lose! Otherwise, we will have to wash dishes for a week!"
As soon as Zhao Sumei got home, she started looking for her raincoat in the room.
"Your trouser legs are wet, go change your clothes first." Pei Zongli urged her.
"What do you want to change? Didn't you see your son working in the fields in the rain on the way back just now?"
Pei Zongli complained to her: "You are the kind of person who only sees your son working. I have been helping him all the time, and I have to call you to sync the progress after work. I have never seen you feel sorry for me, and you scold me on the phone every day."
Zhao Sumei turned around and said, "Is it okay if I don't scold you? If I don't scold you, you will just run to the rooftop every day to watch your son working under the scorching sun. You want to help but can't bring yourself to do it. You deserve to be scolded."
Pei Zongli joined in when he couldn't beat her, pushed her out of the utility room, and said, "I'll find a raincoat, you go change your pants, and we'll go help the children."
"That's more like it."
Zhao Sumei hadn't walked far when her waders were covered in mud. She shouted happily, "Pei Xu! My son!"
Pei Xu looked back in surprise.
Jiang Lin said: "Auntie is back."
