The next morning, Lu Cheng got up early to stretch his muscles, but as soon as he walked out of the house, he saw He Xiulian busy in the yard, preparing to make a fire and cook.
Lu Cheng hurried to help: "Let me help you light the fire."
"How can I ask you to help? You go and rest, I'll do it, I can do it alone."
"No, let me help you, two people can work faster. Haven't you heard that saying? Men and women work together, and work is not tiring."
He Xiulian smiled when she heard it: "Okay, you light the fire, I'll bring you a bench."
Not long after, He Yaozong and Chang Youlin also came out, and saw Lu Cheng and Xiulian cooking together, and they smiled at each other.
The He family's conditions are indeed good. If it is placed in Shuangshui Village, only the family of the village party secretary Tian Futang can be compared.
Selling vinegar to make money and doing some small business is better than farming.
Even if Lu Cheng is a barefoot doctor, his income is only equivalent to that of a strong laborer, which is completely incomparable to those who do small business.
Three meals a day, eggs, white flour buns and millet porridge, are definitely not lacking in nutrition.
Nowadays, rural families basically cannot have a full meal a day, let alone enough nutrition.
This also makes rural people generally thinner, and coupled with the long-term labor and exposure to the sun, there are few good-looking girls in the countryside.
Like in Shuangshui Village, Tian Runye is a well-deserved village flower.
Today, the He Xiulian sisters are village flowers in any village, which is inseparable from their family's living conditions.
After breakfast, Lu Cheng took the initiative to pick up the hoe and go to the fields to work with Xiulian.
He Yaozong did not stop him and let Lu Cheng spend more time with Xiulian.
Lu Cheng was not unfamiliar with farm work. After all, he was born in the countryside in his previous life and worked in the fields a lot after coming to this world.
But when he started weeding in the fields, Lu Cheng found that he was not as good as He Xiulian, a woman.
To hoe the fields, it is nothing more than bending the front legs, pushing the back legs, keeping the steps steady and even, and the grass is dead and the seedlings are good, and the soil is loose.
He Xiulian is obviously a head shorter than Lu Cheng, but her legs are agile, and her movements are steady and fast, with a sense of rhythm.
He Xiulian, 22 years old, looks like she has decades of experience in hoeing the fields.
Lu Cheng wanted to compete with her, but then gave up and kept his own pace.
"Brother Lu Cheng, if you are tired, just sit aside and take a rest. There is not much work in the field. I will finish it in a while. It won't delay us going back for lunch."
Lu Cheng could only wave his hand: "It's okay, I'm not tired, although I can't work as fast as you. But as long as I work a little more, you can work a little less. Don't be too anxious and tire yourself out."
"I'm not tired. I used to do it alone. I have good physical strength."
What else can Lu Cheng say? He can only say in his heart, a real girl.
There is indeed not much work in the field. The land on the stone beach is originally small, even less than that in Shuangshui Village.
The two were busy for more than an hour, and then they hoeed the land once, carrying the hoe and rushing home side by side.
Lu Cheng suddenly enjoyed this kind of life. The two worked together, walked side by side, talked and laughed. There was no boss urging to work overtime to change the plan, no customers kept giving suggestions, and no need to sit in front of the computer all day. Life seemed to relax all of a sudden.
As soon as the two returned home, He Yaozong called out: "Xiulian, Lu Cheng, wash your faces quickly. We won't cook today. Someone in the village is holding a banquet. Let's go and eat together."
Lu Cheng put down his hoe and said: "Uncle, I won't go. After all, I'm not from the village."
"You should go too. You are a relative of the family. If you can catch up, you should go. Don't worry, this is the rule here. When the time comes, our family will sit at the same table. You don't have to be too restrained."
"Yes, Lu Cheng, you should come too."
Perhaps it is because the policy here has been relaxed, allowing the people to run their own businesses and do some small businesses.
The entire Hejiawan is richer than Shuangshui Village, and the banquet is also very rich, with more than a dozen plates and bowls, including meat, vegetables and soup.
In addition to Lu Cheng and the four members of the He family, there are three villagers from Hejiawan sitting at the table, and the scene is quite lively.
Lu Cheng feels like he has returned to his hometown in his previous life to attend a banquet.
However, in later generations, even at banquets, people can’t help playing with their phones.
And this era
The banquet was more lively and enthusiastic.
Everyone sat together and toasted, and they didn't treat Lu Cheng as an outsider at all.
After eating and drinking for a while, the two villagers sitting opposite Lu Cheng were obviously drunk. One of them looked at Lu Cheng and asked: "You young man, why do I think you look a little unfamiliar? What's your last name? Who are you from?"
Before Lu Cheng introduced himself, He Yaozong said: "This is You Lin's sworn brother, from northern Shaanxi. His name is Lu Cheng."
Because Lu Cheng and Xiu Lian had not yet officially decided on their marriage, He Yaozong called Lu Cheng his son-in-law's sworn brother.
The man shook his head after hearing that, and then asked, "Lu Cheng, what's your last name?"
He Yaozong laughed, "Sixth Brother, you're drunk today, so the surname must be Lu."
The villager next to him also laughed, "Sixth Brother is drunk. Don't worry about it, you two are getting married today, so hurry up and have a baby."
Chang Youlin also laughed, "Uncle Fifth Brother, you're still talking about others, you're also drunk. Today is not their wedding."
He Xiuying couldn't help laughing, "That's right, it's all messed up, you should keep drinking."
A villager raised his glass and held it in front of Lu Cheng, "No matter where you come from, it's fate to sit here and drink together today, come on, keep drinking."
Even though Lu Cheng couldn't drink much, he could only raise his glass again when the elders toasted him. He was about to drink it in one gulp, but He Xiulian, who was sitting next to him, grabbed his glass, "He can't drink anymore, I'll drink it for him."
Without saying anything, He Xiulian drank it in one gulp.
Lu Cheng was a little surprised when he saw He Xiulian drinking one glass after another. How could this girl be so fierce? She could drink more than him.
Who knew that just when Lu Cheng was thinking this, he saw He Xiulian drink another glass of wine, and then her head tilted and leaned on Lu Cheng's shoulder.
Fortunately, everyone had drunk almost all of it and was about to leave.
He Yaozong and Chang Youlin were obviously a little drunk. He Xiuying supported Xiulian and said to Lu Cheng: "Lu Cheng, Xiulian has drunk too much. I'll trouble you to carry her back."
Lu Cheng did not hesitate. He stood up and carried Xiulian on his back and walked towards Xiulian's home.
But Lu Cheng also drank a lot today. It was not obvious when he sat down. When he stood up and carried someone on his back, he felt a little dizzy. Fortunately, he could still walk, and He Xiuying helped him walk forward.
At this moment, Lu Cheng did not see that He Xiulian, who was carried on his back, turned around and smiled at his sister.
He carried He Xiulian back home with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and with the help of He Xiuying, he helped her back to the house. Lu Cheng also went back to the room next door to sleep.
What happened next was natural. Lu Cheng and He Xiulian got engaged and decided to get married in the summer three months later.
Although the marriage was settled, the He family enthusiastically kept Lu Cheng for several more days before letting him leave.
Since the marriage was settled, according to the rules here, He Xiulian also had to follow Lu Cheng to Shuangshui Village to take a look.
Therefore, this time when he went back, Lu Cheng also brought He Xiulian.
And He Xiulian also brought a change of clothes and prepared to stay in Shuangshui Village for a few days...
