Lu Chengcheng replied: "He went to take the exam and will be back in the afternoon."

Granny Zhang smiled and said, "He's not used to this until he sees her."

Lu Chengcheng asked, "Have you gotten used to seeing him in just a few days?"

Granny Zhang said, "Yes, I see him working in the fields every day, so I'm not used to it when I suddenly stop seeing him."

Lu Chengcheng's eyes were filled with a smile: "He will be back in the afternoon. You are welcome to come and see him, no, to supervise his work."

"Haha, okay." Grandma Zhang left with a smile.

Lu Chengcheng didn't expect Zhou Jiyun to be so popular, but people started missing him after he had been away for a while. It turned out that honest children are more liked by their elders.

……

When Zhou Jiyun came back in the afternoon, Lu Chengcheng had already grown all the rice seedlings and was preparing to grow glutinous rice seedlings next.

Lu Chengcheng grows rice on these fourteen plots of land, and she grows glutinous rice in her own rice field.

After seeing this, Zhou Jiyun came to help immediately. Lu Chengcheng had planned to work tomorrow, but when he saw Zhou Jiyun going to the fields, he had to continue working. He persisted and finally grew the glutinous rice seedlings.

Well, it was a bit of a stretch to finish it in one day, but it seemed like I felt quite accomplished after finishing it.

Lu Chengcheng stood under the faucet and washed the mud off his body.

Zhou Jiyun also washed himself clean.

At this time, the last ray of light in the sky disappeared into the horizon, and the sky became completely dark.

Lu Chengcheng said, "There must be no rice in the canteen. We can only cook some noodles. I'll go to the field and cut some cabbage and bring it back..."

Zhou Jiyun said quickly: "I'll go, I'll go, I'll cook noodles for you, the noodles I cook are delicious."

Then he went to the field, pulled a cabbage, came back and went to the kitchen.

Lu Chengcheng followed him to the kitchen. She was not sure whether Zhou Jiyun could cook noodles, so she just watched.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jiyun was quite skilled. He cooked two bowls of cabbage and egg noodles in half an hour. They were so fragrant that I couldn't help but drool just by smelling them.

They sat at the table together, each with a bowl of noodles in front of them: "Do you cook often at home?"

Zhou Jiyun nodded: "Yes, I always cook dinner, and everyone says it's delicious."

"Let me try it." Lu Chengcheng stirred it with chopsticks and took a bite. "It's delicious. Your cooking skills are pretty good."

Zhou Jiyun was happy: "I will cook noodles for you next time."

Lu Chengcheng smiled and said, "Okay."

……

On the hill where many jujube trees were planted, Lu Chengcheng planted a lot of broad beans, and now the broad beans are ripe.

Lu Chengcheng came to the foot of the mountain, bent down and moved the broad beans to the side, and saw the broad beans on the broad bean stalks. The thumb-sized beans were emerald green and very plump.

She reached out and pinched it, and the pod became somewhat hard, indicating that it was ripe.

Lu Chengcheng picked a bean pod and opened it, revealing two plump and beautiful broad beans in front of her, and the fragrance of broad beans filled the air.

"I've heard that kids like to roast broad beans. Do they taste good when roasted?"

When Lu Chengcheng was curious, she saw white smoke coming out of the nearby forest: "Is someone burning a fire in the forest?"

Such a lush forest cannot be burned. If it does, all of his fruit trees will surely be destroyed. Thinking of this, Lu Chengcheng hurried over.

In the woods, several children gathered around a fire with several bamboo tubes placed horizontally on the fire. The bamboo tubes had turned black under the scorching flames. The children were very excited and kept adding firewood to the fire.

Lu Chengcheng walked over quietly: "What are you doing?"

The children were startled and covered their hearts with their hands. When they turned around and saw that it was Lu Chengcheng, they were no longer afraid.

Gao Zhao patted his heart and breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister Cheng Cheng, it's you."

Lu Chengcheng looked at them with interest: "It's me, what are you doing?"

Gao Zhao said mysteriously, "We are roasting broad beans. They are delicious. I will let you taste some later."

Lu Chengcheng squatted down and said to the child: "Are you planning to let me join you in this mess?"

Gao Zhao chuckled and said, "No, this is for everyone who sees it."

Lu Chengcheng pointed at the bamboo tube and asked, "How long has it been roasting?"

Gao Zhao said: "It's been ten minutes. It will be ready in a while. Just wait a moment."

Lu Chengcheng asked: "Do your parents know that you are here to roast broad beans?"

Several children shook their heads. Gao Zhao said, "I don't know. Sister Cheng Cheng, don't tell us, or they will beat us. Stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat is painful."

Lu Chengcheng teased: "You know it hurts, but you still dare to do bad things?"

Gao Zhao said: "We want to eat it, it's really delicious, but we don't have it at home, so we can only bake it ourselves."

Lu Chengcheng said jokingly: "I'll try it later. If it tastes good, I won't report you."

Gao Zhao smiled and said, "Hehe, Sister Cheng Cheng is the best."

As he spoke, Lu Chengcheng smelled the aroma of roasted broad beans, which was quite pleasant: "It feels like it will be delicious."

Gao Zhao raised his chin proudly and said, "We won't lie to you. We come here every year to roast broad beans and they are always delicious."

Lu Chengcheng looked at the children and asked, "Are you guys coming together?"

Gao Zhao pointed at the youngest child across from him and said, "He's new here. He cried when we didn't want him here, so we brought him here."

Lu Chengcheng couldn't help laughing: "It's not easy to get this bite of food."

Gao Zhao seemed to resonate with him: "Yes."

As he was talking, the broad beans were roasted. Gao Zhao took the bag next to him and took out an iron clip from it. He used the clip to pick up the bamboo tube and placed it upright on the ground. Then he took out a plate from the bag, opened the lid of the bamboo tube, and poured out the broad beans.

The broad beans gave off a warm smell, which then spread everywhere. Lu Chengcheng couldn't help but say, "What a nice smell."

Gao Zhao took out a few spoons and gave one to each person: "Eat it while it's hot."

Lu Chengcheng also got a spoon and tasted a broad bean: the broad bean was roasted, and its aroma was mixed with the aroma of the bamboo tube. Oil and salt were mixed during the roasting process, which completely brought out the flavor of the broad bean itself. It was delicious.

Gao Zhao had already eaten four or five of them: "Sister Cheng Cheng, is it delicious?"

Lu Chengcheng ate another one: "It's delicious. Your cooking skills are quite good."

Gao Zhao said: "That's right, I bake it every year, and my skills get better every year."

Lu Chengcheng admired Gao Zhao's confidence: "You mean, you will come again next year?"

Gao Zhao said: "Yes, as long as I am still a child, I will come."

Lu Chengcheng said flatteringly, "Okay, then I'll come back next year to taste your roasted broad beans and see if your cooking skills have improved."

Gao Zhao readily agreed: "Okay, we'll let you know directly when we get here."

Lu Chengcheng couldn't help but laugh: "Okay."
