Chapter 52 Green Apricots in May

She had said a long time ago that green apricots were very green, and she could tell they were sour just by looking at them, but Lu Miao didn't expect them to be so sour. The soreness made her teeth weak and her face almost cramped from the acidity.

Lu Miao said "yue" several times with a grimace. When she heard Fu Jingyou smile, Lu Miao glared at him resentfully and angrily:
"You're playing a trick on me! Did you let me eat such sour apricots on purpose?"

"No, the apricots in this season are sour. You should be careful when eating them."

"How to pay attention?"

"Like this." Fu Jingyou took out a green apricot from the box, rubbed it in the palm of his hand, then brought it to his lips and took a small bite, "Green apricots in late May and early June are rare snacks in the countryside. They are sour, so they are Small stutter.”

There are no serious snacks in the countryside, and even if there are, there is no money to buy them. Fruits from the mountains have become the only thing that can satisfy the cravings of adults and children.

As Fu Jingyou spoke, he showed Lu Miao how to eat, but when he finished the first bite and then took the second bite, he couldn't help but close his left eye, and his handsome face twitched and trembled.

Fu Jingyou was embarrassed and a little helpless, "It seems a little sour."

Lu Miao was speechless and thought Fu Jingyou was a bit funny.

After the sour green apricot episode, Fu Jingyou opened the lid of the pot and started serving rice and vegetables.

Lu Miao leaned over the table, held his chin in his hands and asked:
"The apricots are so sour, so why pick them? Can't you wait for them to mature and eat something sweet?"

Fu Jingyou said: "The girls and boys in the countryside are not particular. If they are greedy, they will pick one today, and if they are greedy, they will pick another tomorrow. Usually they cannot wait until it is ripe."

"Besides, there are many birds in the mountains. Even if they are mature, most of them will be eaten by the birds."

Lu Miao asked again: "This is grown in the mountains, not planted by the members themselves?"

"Ah."

After putting the fragrant and attractive mud frog on the table, Fu Jingyou served Lu Miao a bowl of hot rice. With one hand of chopsticks and the other open, Fu Jingyou grabbed four freshly heated steamed buns and sat across from Lu Miao to bite them hard. A big mouthful of steamed buns.

Lu Miao pursed her lips in confusion, "I didn't bring enough brown rice? Why are you eating steamed buns again?"

Fu Jingyou said nonchalantly: "They are all rations, eat the same."

Lu Miao lowered her eyes to look at the rice in front of her, her lips pursed even higher, "How can I eat so much rice? You are afraid of wasting the cornstarch, but aren't you afraid that I will waste the rice?"

Fu Jingyou picked up a piece of mud frog meat with chopsticks and ate it silently without saying anything.

"Humph!"

Lu Miao stood up, took out a large bowl from the broken cupboard, poured water into the bucket and rinsed it clean. She put all the remaining rice in the pot into the bowl, leaving only the bottom layer of rice in the pot, and ordered Said formally:
"I'm going to drink rice soup later, Fu Jingyou, please cook some porridge!"

Fu Jingyou put down his chopsticks, stood up with a steamed bun in his mouth, and started working.

Lu Miao sat back at the table. She didn't move her chopsticks just now. The rice in her bowl and her chopsticks were both clean.

Picking up the chopsticks and pushing down the newly filled rice, Lu Miao picked up her own bowl and put part of the rice into the big bowl. Fu Jingyou turned up the fire in the stove and sat back at the table. She just pushed the bowl over:
"Here, let's eat together."

"I do not……"

Fu Jingyou pushed the bowl back, and Lu Miao glared at him, "Nothing? You pick green apricots for me, let me come here to eat, and you don't let me do anything. After helping me so much, you still knit straw sandals for me... Fu Jingyou , you can’t keep letting me take advantage, I will feel very bad!”

Lu Miao knew what Fu Jingyou cared about. He just felt that fine food was rare and expensive. Furthermore, she was from a girl's family, so he couldn't just eat food from a girl's family.

But to be fair, Fu Jingyou helped her a lot. Let alone the daily work, just letting her come here to improve the food was enough to save her from fire and water.

Now she was asked to eat rice and watched Fu Jingyou eat the unpalatable steamed buns. She couldn't stand it and felt even more sorry.After taking a breath, Lu Miao put away her micro-expression and said calmly and seriously:

"Of course, I don't mean to force you. You can choose not to eat rice, but in the future I will re-examine the help you give me and decide whether I want to accept it."

Lu Miao gave Fu Jingyou a chance to choose, but Fu Jingyou had no choice.

"I eat."

Fu Jingyou picked up the rice and took a big mouthful. The fragrance of the rice instantly swept through his mouth and nasal cavity. The delicate and soft texture was completely different from coarse grains.

He couldn't help but think about it carefully. Under the fine hair on his forehead, his brows relaxed and relaxed, and he was less bitter and resentful than usual.

He rarely showed such an expression. Lu Miao put her hands on her chin, and her mood brightened inexplicably.

Fu Jingyou felt uncomfortable looking at her and emphasized in a low voice:
"Just this once...next time, next time I will bring back decent rations, and then you can eat from me."

Lu Miao hummed and smiled innocently, "Okay, but all the seasonings have to be mine. Then I will think of more ways for you to make more delicious dishes and we will eat them together."

Lu Miao doesn't like to take advantage of others, but at the same time, she won't let go of the opportunity to make her life better.

Friends cannot say that they share joys and sorrows, but they help each other and interact with each other in a worldly manner, which is the correct way to get along.

Fu Jingyou nodded in acquiescence, Lu Miao hummed with a bright smile, picked up the plump mud frog legs in the sea bowl and took a pair of chopsticks, "Eat!"

The bamboo forest behind the house swayed in the summer wind, and among the "rustling", the chirping of birds and Lu Miao's voice seemed extremely ethereal and crisp.

The fragrant, plump and solid mud frog meat tastes even more delicious than the soft-shelled turtle last time. After Fu Jingyou finished a full bowl of rice, he didn't miss the few steamed buns, and swiped them all in one go with the oil and water at the bottom of the bowl. Entered the stomach.

The rare feeling of fullness and the good taste that lingered in his mouth made his internal organs feel extremely comfortable.

Last time I accidentally fell asleep, and when I woke up, Lu Miao was gone. Fu Jingyou was lost for a long time.

This time he picked up his energy and while cleaning up the kitchen, he occasionally tilted his head and chatted to Lu Miao casually.

After the kitchen and backyard were tidied up and he could no longer find any reason to delay, he turned to Lu Miao and slowly said:

"You should go back."

"Is time going so fast? It's almost noon..."

Lu Miao straightened up from the small table, stretched and looked at the sky. After a while, he turned to look at Fu Jingyou and asked:
"Fu Jingyou, when can I come next time?"

Fu Jingyou nodded: "It will take a while... things are still a little busy."

Lu Miao thought carefully and asked again:

"Then I won't see you in the team for a while?"

"Yes..." Fu Jingyou hesitated and said, "I will come back every few days. If anything happens, you can come to me at any time."

"Uh... well!"

Lu Miao puffed up her cheeks and was silent for a while, her expression involuntarily showing a hint of aggrieved coquettishness:

"You have to hurry up and don't make me wait too long! I eat potatoes and sweet potatoes every day. I really can't eat anymore..."
