A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 57 Food Delivery
"Xi'er..." Seeing that Li Xi was about to leave, Zhao Mu held her back reluctantly.

"Be good, work hard. I'll go back and cook something delicious. I'll bring you lunch, okay?" Li Xi comforted Zhao Mu patiently, then pointed at Zhao Yuan and said to him, "Listen to your brother, that's fine, I'll be right back."

Zhao Mu stared at Li Xi, seeing that she had finished speaking, but he still didn't intend to let go of her hand, which made the latter feel helpless and had to lower his face: "Be obedient."

"Forget it, sister-in-law, let's take Amu back." Zhao Yuan looked at the two people, and thought it was quite interesting, Amu, a silly boy, also knew that a wife is good, so he thought that he would marry a wife soon. Very hot.

"No, he'll stay here." Li Xi didn't compromise at all, but he wasn't aggressive towards Zhao Mu either, and said patiently, "Do our homework well, and if you don't work, you won't have enough to eat, don't you think?" Make us hungry."

Maybe he understood this sentence, Zhao Mu didn't say a word, blinked his eyes for a moment, then nodded in a depressed mood: "You want to pick me up...Xi'er..."

Li Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, I'll go back and cook for you."

After coaxing Zhao Mu in this way, Li Xi went home. Naturally, he didn't rest and said that he was going to cook when he came back. Of course, it's still early, so it's good to prepare.

The food that Zhao Yuan sent was not just brown rice, but also cornmeal, which is the most common food in the farmhouse. Such expensive food as rice and white noodles can’t be bought for only fifteen yuan, and the harvest of rice and flour is generally high. Sell ​​it first, and greet guests when the rest of the house is there.

Since Zhao Yuan is helping her family with work, of course Li Xi will not be stingy, and actually cooked a pot of rice. In fact, the food in her family is already considered good. I heard that some people really eat bran and can eat it Mi can also steal music.

Small wild green vegetables are a dish, and then I stewed the only chicken leg left at home. The food with vegetables and meat is not bad in the countryside. At least it smells oily. Besides these, I also spread a few pancakes. She wasn't afraid that Zhao Yuan would be able to eat it, but for Zhao Mu's sake, she should treat it as a reward.

It doesn’t take much time to prepare the ingredients to make the meal, and there is nothing to clean up at home. Looking around, I want to get out the vegetable garden in the place where the small vegetable field used to be, but after looking at it, the yard is big, but it will not be used in the future. Bao Bao asked if she would raise anything else. After thinking about it, she carried a hoe and went to the battlefield and ran to the back of the house.

The back of the house is against the small green hill, of course the distance is still relatively far away, otherwise, things on the hill would come and go around the house after sleeping, and there is a wasteland behind, mainly because there are too many gravels on the backing of the mountain, no one likes to be there It is really good to open up land here, and this place can be used to the fullest, so it was decided to locate the vegetable garden here.

Opening up land is not an easy job, even if what Li Xi wants is just a vegetable garden, this is not a good land, it is full of stones, and sometimes when a hoe goes down hard, the hand hurts, but she still holds back, and the speed It is also very slow, there is no way to clean up some rocks and so on, which is really troublesome.

When the land was less than two meters long and wide, I looked up and estimated that it was almost noon, and it was time for dinner, so Li Xi didn't do any more. After tidying himself up, he found a basket and put away the meals and vegetables. After ordering, put them all in a big bowl, put them in a basket, cover them with a layer of coarse cloth, and go out with the kettle in your arms. The three-acre field at home is not far away. Li Xi didn't want to deliver food at first, but wanted to Zhao Yuan came to eat at home, but later thought it was wrong. Although men and women are not serious here, men are not allowed to eat at home. If Zhao Mu is a good person, it is natural. The key is that he is stupid. What would she think, touching her face, uh, even though she was disfigured, it was inappropriate after all.

At this time, smoke is rising from the roofs of every household in the village, and there are some who deliver food like Li Xi. Of course, more people in twos and threes carry farm tools home. From a distance, they can see two busy figures in the field. Could it be Zhao? Mu and Zhao Yuan, and to Li Xi's relief, it was Zhao Mu who plowed the field and drove the cattle. It looked like he had learned the skill of plowing the field well.

"It's time to eat." Li Xi greeted him when he came to the ridge.

"Sister-in-law is here." Zhao Yuan taught that Zhao Mu is now assisting from the side. When he heard this, he turned his head and saw Li Xi standing there, and waved his hand: "You wait." After speaking, he turned to Zhao Mu. Commander Mu seemed to be telling him to rest after plowing this section.

When Zhao Mu found Li Xi coming, he looked at him eagerly. Li Xi also understood his hard work, smiled brightly at him, pointed at the cow and said, "Hurry up, the dinner will be cold later."

Perhaps because of being encouraged, Zhao Mu returned a smirk, and then swung the whip in his hand even more joyously, hitting the plow handle with crackling noises, and the ox was frightened and moved forward vigorously. Pleasant cooperation, all the runners are diligent.

Zhao Yuan felt that it would be fine if he wasn't around to watch, so he rubbed his chin and smacked his mouth twice. He deeply felt that Zhao Mu didn't see that he cared so much about his wife, and he wasn't so stupid after getting in touch with her for a long time. A daughter-in-law can also become smarter. If he had known earlier, I believe his father would have brought his daughter-in-law back for him.

After Zhao Mu and Zhao Yuan plowed that section, they rested. They tied the cow to a place with lush green grass and let it rest for a while. In front of Li Xi.

"Go, have you washed your hands?" Seeing that Zhao Mu was covered in mud, Li Xi couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and then smiled at Zhao Yuan embarrassedly: "Brother Zhao Yuan, eat first." , I'll wash him well." Then he pulled Zhao Mu down to a small ditch to wash his hands for him.

"Remember to wash your fingernails clean before you can eat next time. See if you are dirty." While washing Zhao Mu's hands, Li Xi kept scolding him, while the former just looked at him with a silly smile, He didn't say anything, so people couldn't say anything except rolling their eyes.

Zhao Yuan also brought out all the food, surprised at how good the food was, and listening to Li Xi's nagging, he couldn't help feeling that Zhao Mu was actually quite lucky, at least he married a sensible, considerate and virtuous daughter-in-law, although her face was disfigured, Hey, they are all peasant women and none of them looks very juicy, but it is just a scar on the face, and marrying a wife should be a good one.

I don't know what Li Xi's expression would be if he knew Zhao Yuan regarded her as a good wife and mother.

"You can do whatever you want, how can you return the whole chicken soup? It's too much, too much." Zhao Yuan felt embarrassed when he smelled the chicken soup while eating.

"It's just a chicken leg, and there's nothing to stir fry, so I can only stew some soup. Brother Zhao Yuan, eat it quickly, I'm tired all morning." He said with chopsticks in his hand and a bowl beside him, and took a big bite Looking at Zhao Mu's pickled vegetables, who started to eat, Li Xi felt that he was tired and hungry, and he was paying more attention to him.

"You can eat too." Seeing Li Xi keep picking up vegetables for himself, Zhao Mu suddenly stopped and pushed the bowl to her.

"I have them at home. These meals are enough. Eat quickly, and you still have to work." Shaking his head, Li Xi said.
