continuation [farming]

The way Xia He came up with was to divide the corn field into four, and each type of corn occupies two fields. The corn in two fields, which looks like a pistil at the top, will be cut off as soon as it grows out, and the other two fields will be left alone. with.

In fact, he was not at ease with his idea, so he went to Li Mu to figure out whether this idea was feasible or not.Li Mu thought for a while and asked him, "Then, if you don't care about it, how do these corns bear seeds?"

Xia He thought about this question: "Is it the wind?"

"Then you need to use something to separate these four fields." Li Muru said.

Looking at the empty yard in front of her, Xia He felt a little worried.Li Mu was unexpectedly sharp, and the point he mentioned was indeed very crucial.But, if you know what you know, what should you do?

Xia He, who had just solved one problem and fell into another problem, sighed, hugged his head, and squatted down.

He's about to blow his mind!

Li Mu had no choice but to comfort him: "Okay, don't worry, there are still five months until next May, and I will always come up with an idea. You can stay with me today, okay?"

Xia He suddenly raised his head and asked him, "Have you seen Jin Bao since you came home?"

"Not yet." Li Mu admitted shyly.

Xia He put on a straight face: "Where else are you going to play? You don't even miss Jin Bao, but Jin Bao misses you. How did you, father, do it?"

Li Mu thought for a moment, then agreed: "Then, let's go home together, mother misses you, and Jin Bao misses you too."

"Jin Bao won't miss me these days?" Xia He pouted.

Li Mu was surprised for a moment, what's wrong?Since Jin Bao was a baby, he has loved to cling to Xia He and never let go. How could such a baby miss his aunt and uncle?

Xia He was embarrassed, and coughed dryly: "A few days ago, my father said that he wanted to teach Jin Bao to read, but Jin Bao was dishonest. My father wanted to beat him up, but if he couldn't do it, let me do it..." Seeing Li Mu amused Looking at herself, Xia He quickly added, "I just gave him a light spank! It didn't hurt at all, but he was just angry!"

"Okay, don't worry, Jin Bao might have forgotten about it." Li Mu shook his head, holding Xia He by the hand, "Let's go, Fourth Uncle's donkey cart is still parked outside."

Xia He went to talk to Lan Niang, and followed Li Mu into the car.

Originally, when Li Mu came, he wanted to propose that the two families get together to celebrate the New Year this year.But after telling Lan Niang, Lan Niang said yes, there are still a few days before the New Year's Eve, and she wants to clean up her house first, so as not to be able to see the house when their family comes back like last year.Therefore, Li Mu only took Xia He away.

Xia He refused to stay in the hood honestly, but insisted on sitting next to Li Mu.Li Mu was actually a little worried: "Aren't you afraid of what those people will say about you?" There are always people in the village who can't be idle and like to tell stories about other families.Originally they thought that Zhang's family had moved away, so they didn't say anything. Since last year, Zhang's family returned to the village for a year, no matter how well hidden they are, they will inevitably be seen by others. Xia He has transformed into a There was a boy, and more people gathered together all of a sudden, thinking about what was going on with the Zhang family, and originally wanted to attack the Zhang family, but they were all blocked by Mrs. Li and Aunt Lin.

Xia He shook his head, and said: "You can't hide for a lifetime, anyway, our marriage contract counts, and the emperor himself changed the regulations. What's so shameful?"

He still wanted to stand in front of people with Li Mu in an open and above board manner.

Li Mu could only pat him on the shoulder, smiled, and said nothing, but his heart was completely moved.

Therefore, this time Xia He straightened her back for others to see, sat next to Li Mu and entered Anle Village, got out of the car and entered Li's house, and shouted at the door: "Where's Jinbao?"

Jin Bao has been able to walk steadily, does not need anyone to accompany him, nor does he need anyone to hug him. out.

Then seeing that Li Mu was standing next to Xia He, Jin Bao was taken aback, tilted his head, thought for a while, and finally remembered who this person was, and remembered that he was a very serious person, like his grandfather. Yes, I will discipline myself severely.

Therefore, Jin Bao suddenly changed from a monkey to a polite young master, with square steps, he walked up to Xia He and Li Mu, imitating the etiquette taught by his grandmother, and said: "Father, uncle. "I thought that no one would see my appearance just now, but I didn't know that Xia He and Li Mu had noticed his little movements.

It was the first time for Xia He to be called "uncle", and he was a little uncomfortable.

He squatted in front of Jin Bao and looked at Jin Bao suspiciously, making Jin Bao feel guilty.His little head was spinning all the time, did he act wrong and make his father angry?So Jin Bao glanced to the side, and saw Li Mu's upturned face, so frightened that Jin Bao didn't even bother to pretend, and leaned into Xia He's arms, hugging his thigh: "Uncle, I'm afraid!"

"What is Jin Bao afraid of?" Xia He tapped the tip of his nose.

"...I'm afraid of my father." The little baby didn't know how to hide his emotions, and said it bluntly.

Xia He chuckled, but after thinking about it, in fact, just a few years ago, when he saw Li Mu, he was terribly frightened, so he didn't have any position to make fun of Jin Bao.

Jin Bao looked aggrieved, wondering why Xia He was laughing at him.

Xia He comforted him: "Don't be afraid of your father, he is your father."

Jin Bao didn't speak.

Xia He had no choice but to grab Li Mu's sleeve and make him squat down too: "Come on, touch Jin Bao's head." If you want to blame Li Mu for not returning home for a long time, Jin Bao will naturally have a relationship with him, but if you want to go to the mansion Studying is an important matter, so it's no wonder Li Mu, Xia He had no choice but to sigh.

It's been a long time since Li Mu did such an inconspicuous movement of squatting down. If Xia He hadn't pulled him hard, he would have been a little bit reluctant.But seeing that Jin Bao kept dodging, Li Mu also felt a little sad, and followed Xia He's intention, squatting down.

He patted Jin Bao's head: "Come on, my son, let father see if his appearance has changed."

Xia He looked at Li Mu's movements...why did they look so familiar?It seemed that Li Mu often patted him on the head like this.

The nature of admiration for his father made Jin Bao hesitate for a moment, but moved to Li Mu's side.The little baby is now as tall as Li Mu squatting down. Li Mu looked at his immature face and tried his best to smile. He wanted to look like a good father, but it was unnatural.

As a result, Jin Bao turned his head and went to look for Xia He again.

Li Mu touched his face, was his appearance just now scary?

It's not that Li Mu didn't want to get close to Jin Bao, it's just that after he tried a few times, he was really discouraged.Xia He couldn't force it, but just looked at Li Mu's bleak figure, and secretly ran to ask Mrs. Li, "Did Brother Mu...didn't he get close to his father when he was young?"

Mrs. Li was a little surprised why he would ask this question: "Maybe, but the strict father is a filial son, how can we get used to the boys in our family?" Even so, Mrs. Li herself dotes on Jin Bao , doting very much.

Xia He saw what was coming out, and said to Li Mu very sympathetically that night: "Brother Mu, his parents must have been very strict when he was young."

Li Mu was startled, not knowing why Xia He asked this question.

"I see you, it's not that you don't want to get close to Jin Bao, you don't." Xia He shook her head with sympathy.

Li Mu was at a loss for words, but after thinking about it carefully, what Xia He said made sense: "Why don't you teach me?" He spoke earnestly and looked at Xia He.

Xia He: "..." It seems a bit strange?

"Hey, then I'll go and bring Jin Bao over, and let's sleep together?" Xia He suggested.

Li Mu hurriedly stopped Xia He who was about to leave, and wrapped him between his arms: "No, it's better not tonight."

Being so close, Xia He suddenly understood what Li Mu wanted to do tonight.

His face was a little red, and he thought of the taste that he hadn't tasted for a whole year, and he still missed it very much.

So Jin Bao was forgotten by his uncle and father.

I didn't see Xia He again until early in the morning of the next day. Knowing that Xia He slept in Li's house last night, Jin Bao, who didn't accompany him, was very wronged. On Xia He, she acted like a baby: "Uncle! You don't even accompany me!"

Li Mu, who was just about to learn from Xia He how to get close to children, immediately frowned.

Jin Bao is not young anymore, in two years he should start studying with a scientific name, how can he be so pampered?

Seeing Li Mu's face, Jin Bao had no choice but to stand up straight again, not daring to stick to Xia He anymore.

The little baby has a small face, but her eyes look big, and she looks at people with watery eyes, feeling extremely wronged.

Mrs. Li hurriedly protected her grandson: "Look at you, it's so rare to come back, why are you still flirting with Jin Bao? --Come on, Jin Bao is coming to grandma, and Xia He is also coming to talk to my old lady, let's ignore that guy .”

Being isolated all of a sudden, Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry.

But Mrs. Li seemed to really not care about him anymore, she grabbed Xia He's hand and asked him if he had come up with an idea for the things that bothered him a few days ago.Xia He began to gesture his New Year's Eve, and after finishing speaking, he sighed: "It's fortunate that Brother Mu told me to pay attention to the distance, otherwise I'm afraid I will fail next year." He is still troubled now.

Xia He rested her chin in one hand, didn't sit still, and sighed.

But Mrs. Li said: "Why don't you live in our house? There are many empty yards in the back. How about you pick a few that are far away, like your small yard, and dig them open?"

Every small yard in the Li family is very small. Originally, Li Mu specially found a place with a big yard for Xia He to live in, so that he could grow corn conveniently.Looking at it now, the small yard has other uses.

Before Xia He could nod his head, Li Mu who was standing aside hurriedly said, "That's very good."

In this way, wouldn't Xia He have to live in his own house next year?

Even though Li Mu was traveling abroad to study, he still had an idea in his heart. How could he always live in his mother's house because his family was humble?
