I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 180

Zhou Chenyu picked up two lotus roots, walked back to the field under the deserted white house, and passed through the clear water from the ditch. A long lotus root was divided into five or six sections, which was estimated to be enough for them to eat for three or four days.

"This lotus root is growing quite well."

Li Xiuju saw that the water put into the rice field had reached the middle of the field ridge, and she quickly shoveled two piles of straw to plug the gap.

"It's a good time to go back now. Put two joints in the pot and boil them until soft. Wait until night and stir-fry them or stir-fry them with meat."

"Okay." Zhou Chenyu carried the things and called Huang Dou over his shoulder. Huang Dou not far away heard the call and ran all the way along the field ridge full of ducks. The frightened ducks flapped their wings like egrets and flew a few meters away.

Not long after Baoyu returned home from a visit, her mother and sister were nowhere to be seen. She must have gone out to do some work. She was afraid that it would be cold when they came back, so she quickly went into the kitchen and lit a fire, boiled a pot of hot water and prepared it.

The two pieces of pork hung up last night were hanging by the chimney. Baoyu lit the fire and moved the cooking pot to another place. The smoke from the bottom of the water-burning stove floated out from the cooking stove and smoked the bacon above. .

When she returned home, Li Xiuju handed over the shovel and said, "Mom, go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables."

Zhou Chenyu took the shovel and entered the yard holding the lotus root in his other hand.

Baoyu heard the movement outside the door and went out to greet him. When he saw what was in his sister's hand, he was surprised and said:
"Sister, where did you dig this lotus root? Did we grow lotus roots at home?"

When Baoyu thought of this, surprise appeared on his face.

"What kind of dream are you dreaming about?" Zhou Chenyu scooped up a ladle of water to wash away the mud. "Our family only has the vegetable garden behind the house and the field we took back. How can we have any extra space to plant lotus roots? This is our ten-year-old flower garden. Bought for five copper coins."

Baoyu said disappointedly, "Huh, I thought I grew it myself, but it turns out I bought it."

Zhou Chenyu washed the lotus roots and put them in the basket hanging on the beam. After he was done, he was so tired that he was about to sit down when Baoyu said urgently: "Sister, wait a minute."

Zhou Chen stood there frozen, looking down at the two small green balls that looked like round cactus on the chair.

"Zhou Baoyu, are you deliberately trying to harm me?" Zhou Chenyu almost sat down.

Baoyu giggled, "Sister, how dare I? This is a good thing."

"Good thing? What good thing?" Zhou Chenyu picked it up and took a look at it. It was a little prickly, but the thorns on it were not as sharp as a cactus. "What is this?"

"Sister, you don't recognize this?" Baoyu grabbed it and broke open the shell with his bare hands, revealing a few dark brown small round grains that were a little bigger than soybeans. "These are the chestnuts Huzi and I harvested in the back mountain today. "

"Chestnuts? Chestnuts?" Zhou Chenyu took out two and said suspiciously: "So small."

"Baoyu, you child, the chestnuts in the back mountain are not ripe yet, and you just knocked them down, aren't you afraid of hitting yourself?"

Li Xiuju's voice sounded at the door and she walked in angrily.

Baoyu smiled mischievously and said, "Mom, Huzi and I are good at chestnut picking, so we won't hit anyone."

Li Xiuju took a bunch of green chestnut shells and looked at them, "Look, this hard shell is airtight and so green. Even if it is broken open, the chestnuts inside will be deflated and there will be no meat left."

"In ten days and a half, when the shell turns yellow and splits by itself, we can just pick it up from the ground. Why do you need to work so hard to knock it off? Are you stupid?"

Zhou Chenyu held a chestnut shell and knocked it on Baoyu's head, "That's right, are you stupid?"

"Sister, be gentle." Baoyu snatched the chestnut that she had managed to win and held it in her arms. Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly spotted Zhou Wanqiu's figure outside the door.

"Sister Wan Qiu, it's so cold outside, why don't you come inside?"

Zhou Wanqiu's name was like a stone, hitting Zhou Chenyu's peaceful life, causing a huge splash in an instant.

Zhou Chenyu looked at the door, his eyes darkening, "Yes, Wan Qiu, come in quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhou Wanqiu held her fists tightly and looked at Zhou Baoquan, who was hiding in the alley and watching, crossed the threshold and slowly walked into the yard, "Auntie, Baoyu, Sister Chenyu."

After not seeing each other for a few days, Li Xiuju hurriedly came over and asked with concern: "You were brought back by Baoquan. Did your parents give you any trouble?"

When she came here, Zhou Wanqiu tried her best to smile slightly, "Auntie, I'm fine. I've been using the ointment that Sister Chen Yu gave me on the day I left. I've been using it for the past few days, and my injury has gotten much better. "

Li Xiuju suddenly heard about this, looked at Zhou Chenyu with a smile, and said: "Lan Qiu, you suddenly went back a few days ago, and my mother-in-law couldn't give you a few good meals. You can stay here tonight and eat again." Let’s go.”

"I..." Zhou Wanqiu looked confused and didn't know how to refuse.

Zhou Chenyu put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Old lady, my aunt's injury is not healed. How can we leave her out of work at home? She just came here to talk to me in late autumn to relieve her boredom. Anyway, there will be many opportunities in the future, so let's talk about it later. Come on, let me see how your wounds are healing."

Li Xiuju looked at Zhou Wanqiu's troubled face and still insisted, "It's just a meal, how long can we delay?"

"Oh, let's talk about it later." Zhou Chenyu pulled Wan Qiu into the room. Baoyu wanted to follow him and have a look, but Li Xiuju glared back.

Zhou Chenyu stood guard at the door for a long time. After Baoyu disappeared, she walked back to the bed and looked at Zhou Wanqiu with blank eyes:
"When you came here this time, was there anything going on with Qian Rushan?"

Zhou Wanqiu nodded in horror, "Sister Chen Yu, my mother ordered me to take you... to Jixiang Tower in the late afternoon on the next market day."

Next market day?

Isn't that the day after tomorrow?

Zhou Chenyu frowned, "Jixianglou? Are you sure you heard correctly?"

Zhou Wanqiu shook his head, "It's Jixiang Tower. Sister, what's wrong?"

Zhou Chenyu walked to the window and pulled out a few dead branches from the bottle, "According to Qian Rushan's behavior, if he wants to do this kind of thing, he should choose a quiet place with few people to do it. Why would you let you take me?" To a place like Jixiang Tower?”

"The people in Jixianglou are talkative. As long as there is any movement, others will know it immediately. How could he choose a place like this? Is he crazy?"

After hearing this, Zhou Wanqiu's originally frightened face became more frightened, "Sister Chen Yu, Qian Rushan is unfathomable. Sister, you better not take this risk."

Money is as unfathomable as a mountain?
He doesn't have the brain.

Being bold and arrogant is what Qian Rushan has engraved in his bones.

Zhou Chenyu leaned against the window and was silent for a long time. Finally, he pursed his lips and smiled, then used all his strength to break off the dead branches.

"In late autumn, no matter what Qian Rushan wants to do or what methods he has, as long as he appears in Jixiang Building and stays under the same roof as me, everything will be easy. This time our plan is as usual, just to catch him off guard. "
