Chapter 23 I'm Holding You

After Fu Jingyou finished speaking, he added: "Next time, even I can't do it."

"I really don't like talking to you anymore! I sound like a fool behind my words!" Lu Miao rolled her eyes at him, "It's not like anyone who wants to get close to me can get close to me."

Just like Jie Fei.

If she were in the same situation today, except that the character was replaced by Xie Fei, she would definitely kick Xie Fei into the water.

Even if you pull her, you still dare to hurt her and yell at her?
Give him face!

Lu Miao's words made Fu Jingyou slightly stunned, but only for a moment. His Adam's apple rolled, and he tried hard to suppress his eagerness to think deeply. He turned back and looked forward, "We're here."

Lu Miao stopped paying attention and looked forward. There was a stone bridge about two meters wide a few meters away. Downstream of the stone bridge was a pool with splashing water, and a dozen meters upstream was a very small dam.

The distance between the dam and the pool under the bridge was smoothed with Sanhe soil.

The miniature dam seems to be just to balance the horizontal line upstream. The water level currently does not exceed the dam, so naturally there is no water flowing down from it.

The pitter-patter of water in the pool below has seeped from below the dam. It should have been deliberately raised when the bridge was built before. This was probably to ensure that running water would always flow in the ditch to ensure the safety of the downstream production team. Water demand.

Of course, it's not the rainy season, so the water seeping out from under the stone bridge is not enough. In another corner of the pool, there is also a water outlet extending from elsewhere. The water spray from there is bigger and the water flow is faster. .

After Fu Jingyou explained, Lu Miao learned that it was another outlet of the lake.

Lu Miao asked curiously: "Lake?"

"Well, this is it." Fu Jingyou pointed to the other side of the dam, then dwarfed and walked a few steps down the slope on one side of the dam.

During this period, he turned around and pressed down the overgrown weeds on one side with his hands, clearly showing the path underneath. "Be careful, it's very narrow here."

Lu Miao nodded.

Fu Jingyou was worried about her, but he didn't have anything else to borrow. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out his hand to Lu Miao, "I'll hold your hand."

Lu Miao didn't think much and put her soft hand directly on it.

When she was in the shade under the stone bridge, she put her right hand on her left elbow and stretched back comfortably, "It's so cool!"

The ground under the bridge is dry, and because of the shelter of the bridge, it is shaded all year round. It is also close to a water source. When the breeze blows, it is not too cool.

Lu Miao vaguely smelled the fragrance of lotus leaves in the wind. She asked in surprise: "Are there lotus leaves in the lake?"

"There are a lot of them. There are reeds growing here, and they're all covered so you can't see them."

It was probably obvious that Lu Miao was a greedy person. Fu Jingyou was silent for a while and then added lightly: "Lotus flowers will be in full bloom in May, and by early June at the earliest, there will be lotus pods to eat."

Lu Miao's eyes lit up for a second, "Lotus pod!"

Fu Jingyou's lips curled up teasingly, and he quickly suppressed it again, "I'll pick it for you when I'm not busy."

"Really? You're so nice!" Lu Miao smiled and frowned, but she quickly realized something, "But is it okay to pick lotus pods?"

Gu Ying had told her before that everything around the production team was owned by the public, and thicker firewood was not allowed to be picked up. Is it okay to pick lotus pods openly?
Considering Fu Jingyou's situation, Lu Miao suddenly felt a little worried, "Let's forget it! Just pick some for me when your jujubes are ripe."

Fu Jingyou said calmly: "The things in the lake are shared by the second and third teams. It doesn't matter if you pick some lotus leaves and lotus pods, as long as you don't catch fish."

Lu Miao heard the clues. Aren't they from the second production team?

"Is this place very close to the production team?" Fu Jingyou said "hmm", pulled the turtle steak to his side, and changed the subject: "How do you eat this? Do you want to eat it now?"

Lu Miao was not that easy to fool. He stamped his feet and asked in a sweet voice: "It's obviously not very far from the cornfield to here. Why did you take me a long way this morning!"

Fu Jingyou looked at her silently for a while, then said two words in a cold voice: "There are few people."

Lu Miao was stunned for a moment, and the description of Fu Jingyou from earlier in the book suddenly appeared in his mind.

The Fu family was almost dead, and Fu Jingyou was saved by He Hongjin and his wife by hiding the truth.

Outsiders don't know Fu Jingyou's background, but people in this village do.

Usually, due to the face of He Hongjin and his wife, the villagers dare not say anything, but they never take the initiative to approach Fu Jingyou.

Fu Jingyou also knew the reason, so he always stayed alone and never got around those people...

Thinking carefully about Fu Jingyou's experience, Lu Miao suddenly felt that he was very pitiful, "Okay, I accept your explanation."

She softened her voice, while being squeamish and a little arrogant, "It doesn't matter if I take a long way next time, but you have to knit my hat quickly, otherwise I will really get tanned!"

After saying that, she added softly, "Fu Jingyou, you are always alone, aren't you lonely and bored?"

"If you have no friends, then I will be your friend! If you have happy or unhappy things, you can share them with me. As for what I say...well, it depends on the situation!"

Fu Jingyou's brows became more relaxed. Lu Miao clenched his fists again and asked forcefully:

"Did you forget my hat? Did you make it up?"

"I haven't forgotten it. I've always remembered it. I'll give it to you in the next two days." Fu Jingyou whispered, flipped the turtle and pulled it, then asked Lu Miao: "How do you want to eat this?"

The tortoise shell has more shells but less meat, and has a strong muddy smell. It is really not delicious, but if you tell it bluntly, the eldest lady may not believe it, so the only way is to let her try it for herself.

Fu Jingyou turned the turtle over in a bad way and started spinning around.

Lu Miao frowned and looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said, "There's nothing we can do now. I don't know how to cook, but I know how to make it."

Lu Miao looked at Fu Jingyou, and it was obvious what he meant.

Fu Jingyou shook his head slightly and hesitated, and said tentatively: "Then I will do it?"

Lu Miao's eyes lit up and she looked at him expectantly, "Is that okay?"

"...Okay." Fu Jingyou was silent for a moment, "But not today."

Lu Miao pursed her lips: "Why?"

"The work in the fields has not been finished yet. There is nothing to do outside, so I can only go home to do it..." Fu Jingyou thought for a moment, then muttered and said:
"Let's do it tomorrow. If we come back tomorrow morning, the two acres of land will be almost tidied up."

Lu Miao nodded, "That's what we said? Will we go to your house tomorrow?"

There are many female educated youths in the educated youth area, so it is inconvenient for Fu Jingyou to go there.

The male educated youth did have a lot of things to do there, but they were unfamiliar and not suitable, and there was a high probability that the villagers would gossip.

Lu Miao didn't care about this, but thinking about the hardships Fu Jingyou had gone through over the years, she was afraid that it would be difficult for Fu Jingyou.
