Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 41 41. Pastoral Scenery
"We're just ahead." Zhang Lishu said happily, pointing to the house not far away.

Several people stepped closer and saw a simple but clean and tidy farmhouse in front of them.

Cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, beans and other home-cooked vegetables are planted on the land on both sides of the gate of the courtyard. The vegetable plots are small but neatly arranged, and the shelves are neatly arranged, which makes people feel very comfortable.

In some years, on the old and dim black door frame, the faded but clean words "Glorious House" still attract people's attention and awe.

A little black dog ran out from the half-covered door and barked "Wow, woof" at several people.

"This is my grandma's puppy, Heizi." Zhang Lishu walked a few steps forward and squatted down, calling, "Heizi, come here."

The black puppy took a step back, staring at the person in front of him with its bright black eyes, and growled "Woo" in his mouth. He kept sniffing. After a while, he seemed to recognize the person in front of him and shook his head. Tails tentatively came over.

Zhang Lishu immediately started to smooth the fur of the little black dog and rubbed it from head to tail.

And the little black dog's tail was already wagging happily, and there was a low whimpering sound from its mouth.

Putting down the little black dog, Zhang Lishu took the lead and walked into the yard.

Entering the room, an old lady with gray hair and a rickety figure was leaning on the quilt and listening to the opera "咿咿咿 Yeah" on the TV.

Hearing the sound, the old lady turned around and saw her eldest grandson, who she had been thinking about day and night, standing in front of her.

"Oh, my dear grandson, you are back. Oh, you miss me so much..." The old lady came over and hugged her grandson, "He has lost weight and become darker."

When grandma gradually calmed down, Zhang Lishu called the brothers into the house and introduced them to grandma.

Seeing so many people at once, who were all friends of her grandson, grandma narrowed her eyes with a smile and was about to go to the ground to start cooking.

"Grandma, don't be too busy, we'll do it right here, let you try our craft today." Song Yuanze gestured to the other brothers with his eyes.

"Yes, grandma, let's come. Let's cook together for grandma to try." A Fei, who was always brash, couldn't help but soften his tone.

"We and Lishu are brothers, so you are our grandma. You can talk to Lishu here and we will have dinner in a while." Lao Tian said, carrying the ingredients on the stove to process.

Song Yuanze briefly looked around the room.

"Old Zheng, come here and help me." Lao Tian shouted softly in the yard.

Tsk, no matter what, we need to capture more labor force.

When the food was ready, everyone sat around the Kang, and the tall, strong men surrounded the large earthen Kang.

The old lady was always happy, and the wrinkles on her face that had been weathered by time seemed to have relaxed. She looked at this and that with loving eyes.

"It's delicious, it's delicious." When asked if it tasted good, the old lady responded hurriedly, covering her mouth and smiling happily.

Seeing grandma's happy face, Zhang Lishu was both happy and sad.

Grandma must be very lonely when she is not at home.

After dinner, Zhang Lishu felt a little reluctant to leave, thinking that the brothers would leave in a while.

He talked to his grandma, went out of the yard, and went to pick some cucumbers in the vegetable field.

The cucumber was well-proportioned and short and fat, less than the length of his hand. It had a fresh green skin and small yellow flowers on the top, making it look crisp and sweet.

This was a specialty vegetable from his hometown, and he couldn’t bring out anything else, so he planned to take these cucumbers back to his brothers to try.

"Let's go, take us out for a walk, let's cool down now." Laojiu came over and put his arm on his shoulder, "The air in the countryside is good."

As he spoke, he took a cucumber casually and said with a surprised look on his face: "These cucumbers look different from those in the city. They look delicious."

Chubby and tender green, very cute.

Zhang Lishu picked up some cucumbers and washed them. When he came back, he stuffed one with his own hands.

"Try them all. This is a specialty of my hometown. It's delicious."

Then he turned around and washed a bunch of grapes he bought, put them on a plate and put them in front of grandma.

The cucumbers are a little hard, and my grandma’s teeth are not good, so it’s hard to eat them.Grapes are better.

"Hey, don't tell me, this cucumber tastes really good." Laojiu couldn't help but admire it while eating.

"Well, it's very sweet and delicious." Lao Tian squinted his eyes and ate deliciously.

The others were silent, only the sound of "click-click-click" was heard.

After eating the melon, Zhang Lishu and others spoke to their grandma and then went out for a walk along the village path.

The puppy Heizi followed closely behind.

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and the weather was not as muggy as it was at noon. It brought a little coolness, and even the chirping of cicadas sounded much more pleasant.

Looking around, there are crops and farmland almost everywhere, which look neat and full of vitality.

Passing by his own field, Zhang Lishu stepped forward to pinch the grains of wheat, and there were slight marks, which were about to be harvested in a few days.

The entire wheat field has turned golden yellow. When the wind blows, the waves of wheat are rolling, which is very pleasant.

Continuing to walk forward, the houses gradually became denser, and the number of people and cars on the road gradually increased.

"My grandma's house is actually outside the village, a little far away from the village. It's a big place and people do a lot of greenhouses for breeding. We've entered the village now." He pointed to a tall stone monument next to it, "This This is the name of our village."

Many old men and women sitting at the door chatting and enjoying the cool air looked at the people curiously. When Zhang Lishu saw the familiar elders, he stepped forward to say hello.

From time to time, there are dogs running around, frolicking lively, lying quietly beside the owner, taking a nap quietly.

"Let's go back. It's time for you to go back too. It's a good time to start now." Zhang Lishu said to several people.

"Who said we have to go back? The scenery here is so beautiful, why don't we take a look before leaving." Laojiu waved his hand.

"Yes, the brothers will play here for a few days before going back." A Fei continued.

"You..." Brothers who had been brothers for many years did not understand the truth. Zhang Lishu felt a little sore, but he quickly laughed.

"Okay, then I won't be polite to you."

"No need, just enough delicious cucumbers..."

"Look at your prospects..."

Insects pop up in the grass beside the road from time to time, holding the grass stalks and dangling their tentacles.

Heizi rushed over, but found nothing.

"Hey, there are so many treasures here." Laojiu subconsciously rubbed his hands excitedly. There were plants and insects everywhere that could be used as medicine.

"Calm down, it's time to go for a walk, Brother Jiu." Zheng Guangping couldn't help but hold him.

Occupational diseases are here again.

"I'll just take a look, I'll take a look." Laojiu had no choice but to reluctantly follow the team.

"Tomatoes are grown in these greenhouses, and there are cucumbers, strawberries, cherries, and melons in front. They are all delicious and are our specialty. If I have the opportunity, I will take you to try them and experience the fun of picking in the greenhouses yourself. ." Zhang Lishu looked serious and proud when talking about the specialties of his hometown.

"Okay, Li Shu, you said it yourself, I'll wait for you." Huang Dake, who always had no sense of presence in the team, rarely spoke up.

"Hahaha, this is a foodie, his eyes widen when he encounters something to eat." Others joked with a smile.

Huang Dake, who was muscular and tanned and looked tall and fit, had a good temper. He just smiled and said nothing.

"It's a bit late now. Can I take you to our beach sculpture exhibition?"

"I have the opportunity to take you on a tour of my hometown."

"Okay."

　There is a big, round moon tonight.
