After Xu Xingchen went back, Zhou Xiaoniang came that afternoon. She cooked sweet potatoes at noon. They tasted sweet. She immediately decided to grow sweet potatoes well and asked Shuanzi to build a shed.
This time she came to ask Xu Xingchen about the steps and precautions for growing sweet potatoes, and Xu Xingchen told her everything without reservation.
From light to soil, from temperature to nutrients, everything is taken into consideration.
Zhou Xiaoniang listened with some difficulty but took notes very seriously. She couldn't help but regret that she was not educated, otherwise she would have taken notes.
They chatted until it got dark, and Zhou Xiaoniang went back reluctantly, looking back every few steps.
Xu Xingchen gulped down two cups of tea, rubbed his shoulders, and stood up to go to the backyard.
The backyard was quiet. She glanced at the small bamboo house where Jun Haoyue lived, intentionally or unintentionally. There was no light on inside. Was he asleep?
She coughed, but nothing happened.
Huh? Not here? That shouldn't be the case. If she coughed normally, Jun Haoyue would immediately appear and ask her what was wrong.
She walked around the bamboo house, pricked up her ears and listened, confirming that there was indeed no one in the bamboo house. She turned around disappointedly, raised her head and screamed in surprise.
"Jun Haoyue! What are you doing on the roof?!"
Jun Haoyue, that bastard, was actually sitting on the roof. Didn't he see everything she just did? How embarrassing! The more she thought about it, the more ashamed she felt. She wished she could buy a three-bedroom apartment right away.
Jun Haoyue, who was on the roof, of course saw it all, but he kept quiet. The little girl was very proud and would run away if provoked. He smiled and clapped his hands, then said to the people below, "Xingchen, do you want to come up and take a look?"
Xu Xingchen curled her lips and glared at him. After a while, she admitted defeat and found the ladder that Jun Haoyue used to climb up in the corner and climbed up.
However, the ladder was not as high as the roof, and there was still half a person's distance to the roof. Xu Xingchen was not tall and had short legs, so he tried to climb up twice but failed. Embarrassing.
She grinds her teeth and has amazing long legs!
Jun Haoyue chuckled at her bared teeth and extended his hand towards her, "I'll pull you up."
Xu Xingchen let him pull her up unhappily and sat beside him.
This planet has not developed into the industrial age, and there is no air pollution. The air is fresh and refreshing. The stars in the sky are clearly visible, and the long Milky Way chain is dotted with stars, which is beautiful beyond words.
This is probably the only good thing Xu Xingchen thinks about this planet.
Xu Xingchen craned his neck to admire the starry sky, and suddenly heard someone sigh in his ear: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
Jun Haoyue turned his head, his dark eyes fixed on her, as if he had a thousand words to say. Xu Xingchen's heart skipped a beat, as if something was about to break out of its shell.
She lowered her head a little awkwardly, smoothed her hair, and whispered in agreement, "It's quite beautiful."
Jun Haoyue's eyes dimmed slightly. She didn't understand and didn't know what was going on.
Not wanting to embarrass her, he took the initiative to change the subject and said, "It will be a nice day tomorrow."
Xu Xingchen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard him change the subject. Just as he was about to answer, a meteor slid across the sky.
"Ah, shooting star! Make a wish!" She quickly clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and murmured, "I hope the planting road will go smoothly."
Jun Haoyue looked at the tail of the shooting star, touched her thin lips lightly, and silently made a wish: I hope her wish can come true.
After making a wish, Xu Xingchen patted his face and took the lead in suggesting a rest. "Okay, let's welcome a new day and go to sleep."
"Well, you go to sleep first, I'll wait."
"Then get up early, it's cold outside." After giving a few instructions, she scurried down like a rabbit, not as embarrassed as when she came up.
Jun Haoyue looked at her departing back, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Xu Xingchen returned to the house and squatted down with her back against the door. She turned on the computer, her fingertips hovering in front of the search bar, but she couldn't click on it.
What was that feeling just now? She racked her brains but couldn't find the words to describe that throbbing feeling just now.
The two people, one inside and one outside, each have their own thoughts.
......
In March, the ice and snow in the north began to melt, the streams thawed, and flowed gurglingly.
The women in the village all ran to the stream to wash clothes, and Xu Xingchen also followed the group to the stream.
The upstream was crowded with people, so Xu Xingchen had to look for a place downstream. Coincidentally, he met Zhou Xiaoniang who was also downstream, so the two of them took a bath together.
Xu Xingchen tapped his clothes with his pole and responded to Zhou Xiaoniang's words in a disjointed manner.
“Help…Help…”
A ragged beggar staggered towards them from further downstream. Zhou Xiaoniang screamed and ran behind Xu Xingchen, grabbing the corner of her clothes and trembling.
The beggar fell to the ground three or four steps away from the two of them. Zhou Xiaoniang asked in a trembling voice: "Is he, is he dead..." Xu Xingchen pursed his lips and walked towards the beggar, "Hey, Sister Xu...!"
Xu Xingchen squatted down in front of the beggar. The beggar's hair was disheveled, mixed with mud, water and blood. His face could not be seen. His body was also torn and covered with scratches and bloodstains.
She gently placed her hand on the beggar's outstretched arm. Although the pulse was weak, it was still there, indicating that the man was still alive.
"Mrs. Zhou, go get someone."
"Ah, Sister Xu, you have to save... this..." beggar? Zhou Xiaoniang frowned at the beggar with disdain.
Xu Xingchen's voice became more stern: "This is a human life!"
Zhou Xiaoniang explained aggrievedly, "Sister Xu, I'm just concerned about you. This person has unknown origins, and I just brought him back like that... and you're just a girl."
Xu Xingchen knew that Zhou Xiaoniang was worried about her, so she softened her tone and said, "Let's not talk about his identity for now. Even if it's just a cat or a dog, I will save him. He's still breathing, so let's save him first."
In terms of eloquence, Zhou Xiaoniang was no match for her. With just a few words, Zhou Xiaoniang was unable to refute. She bit her lip, stomped her feet and went to look for someone.
Soon Zhou Xiaoniang brought three men from the village. When the men saw the beggar, they all frowned like Zhou Xiaoniang, and the disgust in their eyes was obvious.
One of them tried to persuade her, "Xu Xiaoniang, this...it's not a good idea for you to save a man."
"I have a cousin at home."
But the other party did not give up and said: "But, where are you going to settle this person? It's not good to have a man in your house."
"Put it in my cousin's room."
The man had no reason to do anything, so he resigned himself to his fate and lifted the beggar with the other two and took him to Xu Xingchen's home.
When they arrived at Xu Xingchen's house, Jun Haoyue happened to be in the yard. He saw a group of people carrying in a dirty person and frowned.
Xu Xingchen gestured to put the person on the couch in the outer room first. She had not yet discussed with Jun Haoyue about putting the person in his room.
After the men followed the instructions and put down the things, they couldn't wait to leave and go back to take a shower and wash clothes. Xu Xingchen called them over and took out a basket of sweet potatoes from the inner room and distributed them to several people. "This is what I just planted. Everyone, take it back and try it."
The men looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, took it and left.
After the people left, Jun Haoyue spoke: "What happened?"
