continuation [farming]

During the three days of the county examination, all the candidates answered the questions in silence, even taking time to eat steamed buns.When the paper was finally handed in, even though Li Mu thought he was in good health, he still staggered, leaning on the wall, and slowed down for a while before he could go out.

When I met acquaintances on the road, I said a few words of humility to each other, seeing that each other had no strength, and no one was entangled, so they each went to find someone to pick them up, and went home.

Fourth Uncle Li got up early that day and waited outside. When he saw Li Mu coming out, he hurriedly went to help him and sent him into the hood of the car.Fourth Uncle Li is a careful person, he spread out the quilt that Li Mu didn't bring into the examination room in the car hood, and taught him to sit more comfortably on the hard car seat.It's rare for Li Mu to take care of his image. He leaned against the soft quilt that was obviously stuffed with new wadding, touched the quilt, and thought of Xia He's serious look when he stuffed the quilt into the car, and his whole body and mind relaxed. down.

Fourth Uncle Li was afraid that Li Mu would be bumped again, the car was not moving fast, and wobbled, and after a while, Li Mu fell asleep in the car.

When he arrived at Anle Village and parked the donkey cart at the gate of the Li family compound, Fourth Uncle Li turned around and called twice: "Brother Mu, you're home. Brother Mu?" But there was no response.Opening the curtain, seeing Li Mu sleeping soundly leaning on the quilt and pillow on the bookcase, he couldn't help smiling.

Even though he knew that the other party was exhausted, and he was reluctant to wake him up, he couldn't watch him sleep in his car. For fear that Li Mu would catch a cold, Fourth Uncle Li hesitated for a moment, and went to wake Li Mu up, saying: "Brother Mu Son, wake up, your home is here."

Li Mu was called up, but his mind was still not fully awake, and his walking was a little vain.

This appearance made Aunt Lin, who came out to greet people, very distressed. She didn't care to get things from the hood, and hurriedly helped Li Mu back to his own room to rest, then turned around and put the things she brought back under the car Unload.

Li Mu fell down on his bed, closed his clothes, and fell into a sleepy sleep.

When he woke up again, it was still dark, and the night was covered by dark clouds, and he couldn't even see the moon, so he couldn't tell the time.Li Mu didn't know how long it was until the cock crowed, but he also felt that he couldn't fall asleep, so he got up with a soybean oil lamp, bored, and stood in the yard for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, there was movement at the door.

As soon as Li Mu turned around, he only saw a dark figure there, who looked a little shorter than himself.The black figure didn't seem to have seen Li Mu, but saw the light in his hand, and cried out, "Is there a will-o'-the-wisp?!"

Hearing the other party's voice, Li Mu knew that it was Xia He who came.

Seeing that Xia He didn't see him holding the lamp, he thought it was a will-o'-the-wisp, and thought he would turn around and run away.Just about to call to stop him, Xia He unexpectedly came over.When the bean lamp illuminated the curiosity on Xia He's face, it also reflected Li Mu's smiling eyes.Xia He's curiosity immediately turned into disappointment, he cut it, and said: "Sir, why did you get up so early today?"

"You also said that I slept for a whole day yesterday." Li Mu said, "My bones are already hurting now. If I sleep again, I don't know if I can wake up."

Xia He has never been lazy on the bed, but he has heard that after lying down for a long time, it is true that all the bones in his body hurt when he goes to bed together.Hearing this, he asked: "How about I rub it for you? My mother's bones often hurt, especially on rainy days. I rubbed it for her."

Li Mu nodded and agreed, "That's how I'm going to trouble my lady."

Xia He has never practiced the art of massage, and the current skill is only learned from Lan Niang, and she only presses where it hurts.Li Mu was directed by him to lie on the bed. After Xia He rubbed his fists, he pushed his hands on Li Mu's body and pushed hard.

At that moment, Li Mu had the illusion that his internal organs seemed to be squeezed out, but after being squeezed, he felt a sense of comfort all over his body.This painful and numb feeling is very difficult to describe, but the previous pain from the bones is indeed gone.Li Mu sighed and let Xia He move on his body.

But after pressing it, Li Mu felt that he didn't even want to move his fingers anymore, so he finally got up and tidied up his clothes, when he saw Xia He standing aside, with a look on his face asking for his praise, and said: " How is it? Mother always said that after I massaged her, she felt much more comfortable!"

For a while, Li Mu couldn't tell if his mother-in-law just couldn't bear to shake Xia He's filial piety, or she was serious, so he just smiled.Pulling the corner of his mouth, he let out a "hiss".

Xia He rubbed his nose and murmured: "It can't be me... I'm making too much effort, right?"

"It's okay." Li Mu said yes.

Suddenly, he saw Xia He's chest.

At this moment, Li Mu was sitting on the bed, while Xia He was standing, and it happened that Li Mu met his chest as soon as he looked at him.Xia He ate all the steamed buns from last night early this morning. He originally planned to go to the kitchen, but unexpectedly met Li Mu who woke up early.

Seeing that Li Mu was stunned, Xia He followed his line of sight, facing her chest, hurriedly covered it, took two steps back, and looked at Li Mu vigilantly.

Only then did Li Mu come back to his senses, twisted half of his face in embarrassment, and whispered: "That place, don't tighten it too tightly...it's not good for your health."

Xia He is a little strange, what is it that is too tight?Could it be that you want to talk about steamed buns, don't make them into pancakes?

But she was told by Lan Niang that she shouldn't talk about that position with others since she was a child, Xia He could only deal with it with a grunt, turned her head, and jumped out like a rabbit.

When Li Mu saw Xia He again, he was serving the corn seedlings in his yard.

It's just five days before the exam, and the corn seedlings have jumped up to be higher than the ankle.Xia He jumped up and down among the seedlings, bending down from time to time.

Li Mu called: "Xia He, mother has already got up, it's time to eat." Consciously or unintentionally, he glanced at Xia He's chest, and it puffed up again. Let go.At this time, Li Mu was only slightly puzzled, Xia He might have other secrets, but he didn't think that he was actually a man disguised as a woman.

"Oh!" Xia He nodded, jumped out, looked up at the sky, and murmured, "Hey, I'm afraid it's going to rain today."

Breakfast is simpler, and when Aunt Lin brought the things up, she said: "I will make a meal at noon. A few days ago, I discussed with my wife what to do to celebrate the master's high school."

Hearing this, Li Mu hurriedly said, "Aunt Lin, we will not know whether I have been a scholar until the day after tomorrow."

Aunt Lin smiled, and said: "Hey, our master is talented, so he can win the number one prize. Are you afraid that he won't be a scholar?"

"Aunt Lin must not say that. There are so many talented people in my court. I may not be able to enter the palace examination. It is good to be born with the same Jinshi. How can I be the number one scholar." Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry.

Aunt Lin insisted on making arrangements, and even dragged Xia He into the water, saying that he had already agreed.This made Mrs. Li a little strange. She clearly remembered that Aunt Lin mentioned Xia He a few days ago with an angry expression on her face. When did the two become so close? When she looked at Xia He aside, she saw that he was a little distracted at this moment .

Mrs. Li patted him and asked, "Xia He, what are you thinking?"

"Huh? Mother?" Xia He came back to her senses and said, "Uh, I'm just watching. I'm afraid it will rain today, so I have to go up the mountain."

Old Madam Li said dissatisfiedly: "Mu'er is rarely at home, why don't you stay with him well. You like to go outside on weekdays, and the old lady doesn't care about you." She glanced at her son and motioned for Li Mu to say Two sentences.

But Li Mu said: "Mother, don't be too constrained by Xia He."

Xia He stuck out her tongue, making a grimace just as Li Mu saw it.

Xia He was worried about the corn seedlings on the mountain. The field that bloomed earlier was fine. The newly opened field was planted in a hurry and densely, and the seedlings were shorter than those in the other places. Now it is not considered to be rooted. It is deep and crooked, Xia He is a little worried, if the rain is too heavy, will the seedlings be washed down.

But seeing that Mrs. Li was not happy, he had no choice but to try to please her, saying: "Mom, I'll go and have a look. If there's nothing wrong, I'll be back right away, and I won't stay any longer."

Old Madam Li sighed: "Call your father, it looks like the rain will not be small today, let him take care of you, so as not to hurt you."

"Hey!" Xia He responded.

Not only Xia He was worried, Zhang Shiyi was also worried about the land on the mountain.The newly reclaimed land does not need to pay taxes for three years, and as much corn as is planted on the slope is our own.Zhang Shiyi ate something and was about to go out, so he asked Lan Niang to wait at his house, and went uphill to have a look by himself.As soon as I reached the door, the rain beans suddenly fell down with a crackling sound.He had no choice but to put on his coir raincoat, and when he saw Xia He coming in the rain, he shouted from afar, "Father, wait for me, I'll be with you!"

Zhang Shiyi waved his hand, urging him to go back quickly: "I'll go and have a look alone, you go home quickly. If you need your help, I'll call you again."

"Father, if something really happens, you won't have time to go back to the village to call people." Xia He said yes, and refused to go back.

Zhang Shixi sighed, knowing that his family is a strong child, and he also knows that he loves others, so he probably won't leave.If Xia He really belonged to a daughter's family, he would have to escort her to Li's family even if he was in custody.But Xia He is a man after all, and has always been a good hand at home work. Zhang Shiyi thought about it and decided to take him with him.

This difference in thought made Xia He really have something wrong.
