After the old man left, Qin Luo and Zhu Xian continued working. They worked quickly, and the field was soon filled with potatoes.
"Brother Dog, go fetch water from the river."
"OK."
Qin Luo went to the river to fetch water, where he met a middle-aged woman washing clothes. It was Aunt Wang, who had carried pig feed the night before. She smiled and said, "Young man, you're lucky. That girl, A'Zhu, is very hardworking."
Qin Luo nodded with a smile.
He quickly carried the water away.
Qin Luo carried water back and forth several times. He and Zhu Xian finished irrigating the land in the mountains. At this time, the sun was high in the sky, and the bright sunlight shone on the fields.
Zhu Xian stretched lazily and took out two large steamed buns from her bosom. "Brother Gou, here you go."
Qin Luo caught the steamed bun that Zhu Xian threw to him. It was still warm. He took a bite and said with a smile, "The texture is not bad. It's softer than wild vegetable dumplings, but it doesn't taste as good as wild vegetable dumplings."
"It's good enough that there's food. Go pick some wild vegetables, and I'll make wild vegetable dumplings when I get back."
What are wild vegetables?
Zhu Xian pointed to the field ridge not far away and sighed softly, "All you know is how to eat; that's just wild vegetables."
"Understood."
Qin Luo nodded with a smile.
Zhu Xian suddenly smiled and asked, "Brother Gou, won't you be angry if I say this to you?"
"No, unless you want to hurt me."
"All I'll do is beat you up."
"Girls should be gentle."
"You're quite gentle. To be honest, if our genders were reversed, I might marry you."
"..."
Zhu Xian and Qin Luo were picking wild vegetables by the field when an older woman passing by asked curiously, "Ah Zhu, this young man is quite handsome. Who is he?"
Zhu Xian raised an eyebrow and smiled broadly, "His name is Agou, and he is my fiancé."
"They're such a perfect match!"
The older woman nodded repeatedly in praise.
After the older woman left, Zhu Xian looked at Qin Luo and said with a smile, "Brother Gou, Aunt Zhang always tries to introduce me to potential partners, it's quite annoying, you don't mind, do you?"
"mind."
Qin Luo said with a serious expression.
Zhu Xian pouted, "Then you're quite stingy. I treated you to drinks and meat last night, you have no conscience."
Qin Luo couldn't help but chuckle, "I was just kidding, I don't mind at all, as long as you're happy."
"You're a really nice person!"
"It's good that you understand."
"Hahaha."
Qin Luo and Zhu Xian each picked a large handful of wild vegetables. On the way home, Qin Luo asked curiously, "Zhu, how long do you plan to stay here?"
Zhu Xian smiled and said, "I have to go back to the capital in a couple of days. There are still many things in the court that I need to deal with. But I will come here to live whenever I have time. Ying'er and I have discussed it. When we get old, we will come here to retire."
Looking at the wisteria-covered bridge not far away, Qin Luo smiled and said, "This place is indeed suitable for retirement."
There is no place for you here.
"That's a real shame."
"But you can ask me for help."
"I have no intention of stopping."
