continuation [farming]

No one would give in, Xia He and Li Mu stared at each other, and eventually, the two even became angry with each other.Xia He didn't want to talk, so she just closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.Li Mu was more helpless, he looked at Xia He's wrinkled brows by the moonlight, stretched out his hand, expecting to be rubbed away by him, but what he got was Xia He's slapped away.

It's not that he doesn't want to be reasonable, Xia He has a lot of reasons to say, but it's nothing more than what Zhang Shiyi and he have said before. The Zhang family saved Li Mu's father back then, and it was not out of gratitude.

Xia He was pretending to be asleep, but seeing that Li Mu was silent after being waved away by him, after waiting for a long time, he thought that Li Mu had fallen asleep, so he opened his eyes quietly, but saw that Li Mu was not asleep at all, still watching he.

Xia He simply turned over.

Li Mu held him in his arms without moving.

Both of them were quiet, and they didn't know who fell asleep first, but neither of them slept well.On the second day Xia He was the first to get up, seeing Li Mu's restless state sleeping next to him, he didn't want to disturb him.

Xia He turned over and got out of bed, and tiptoedly changed her clothes.As soon as the door was opened, Jin Bao was sitting by the door.

"Uncle!" Jin Bao heard the babble of the door behind him, turned around and saw Xia He, and rushed over happily.

"Hush..." Xia He hurriedly told him to be quiet, and lowered his voice to explain, "Your father is still sleeping, let's talk quietly."

Jin Bao pouted, but obediently lowered his voice: "Father is so lazy, Jin Bao is all up!"

How could Xia He answer, she just shook her head.He didn't know when Li Mu was finally able to fall asleep last night. He was exhausted and hurried back home, but he couldn't get a good night's sleep. How could Xia He blame Li Mu for getting up late.

Picking up Jin Bao, Xia He said: "Let's go, let's eat, we still have to work today, we will only have strength when we are full!"

"Jin Bao wants to work! Jin Bao is the best!" Jin Bao boasted.

Harvesting corn is a troublesome job, with Jin Bao following behind, Xia He didn't bother to carry the basket, but directly broke off the corn cobs and threw them on the ground for Jin Bao to pick up.Little Jinbao wanted to learn Xia He's way of carrying a plate, and stuffed several corn cobs in his arms, one extra, but the other one would inevitably fall.He picked it up and picked it up, but he could only hug three of them, and finally gave up.

Xia He snapped quickly, glanced at Jin Bao's dejected look from the corner of his eye, and wanted to laugh.

The small yard is not big after all, and Xia He finished it after a busy morning, and went to pick it up with Jin Bao.After picking up half of them, Li Mu hurried over.

"I'll do it." Li Mu squatted down, picked up a piece of corn and ran towards the basket.

Xia He curled her lips in disgust: "Jin Bao knows how to take more sticks at a time, saving time and effort."

Li Mu smiled awkwardly.

Jin Bao finally mastered the knack and was able to hold five sticks in his arms, showing off to Xia He: "Uncle, look!"

"Jin Bao did a good job." Xia He praised him, "Uncle will cook some delicious food for Jin Bao in a while."

Jin Bao, who was praised, glanced at Li Mu, his expression was full of complacency.

Being despised by a little doll, Li Mu sighed, leaned down, and asked Jin Bao, "It's almost done here, Jin Bao can go help Aunt Lin, Aunt Lin is getting old, and she can't do it by herself. "

"Jin Bao wants to respect the old and love the young, so go help Grandma Lin." Jin Bao nodded, threw away the five corns in his arms, and ran away.

Suddenly, Li Mu and Xia He were left in the small courtyard.

Li Mu picked up the corn that Jin Bao dropped, but didn't put it down in a hurry, but stared blankly at Xia He.

"Look what I'm doing." Xia He didn't look up, "Aren't you here to help with work, Brother Mu?"

"Xia He, let's have a good talk." Li Mu said yes.

"...Let's wait until the work is over." Xia He didn't know what to say, so he could only delay.

If there is a right and wrong, you can tell who is right and who is wrong, then such a matter can be easily resolved.But this world is not black and white, and not everything can be divided into right and wrong, just like the matter that two people are hesitating now, in fact, neither of them is wrong.

Xia He, who is well aware of this, just wants to delay the time, at worst, he will just run away quietly someday.Anyway, the time of the test will not change, and Li Mu wants to advance, but it is not something he can do.

With such an idea, Xia He is a little afraid to see Li Mu now.

"Xia He." Li Mu called him, "It's no use escaping." In the past few years, if you want to say what Li Mu has learned, it's probably this sentence.I think if he hadn't hesitated not to expose the relationship between him and Xia He, maybe the two could have been together earlier.

"We have nothing to talk about. Whoever has agreed to see His Majesty first will go to seek revenge. I have to leave a year in advance to be fair." Xia He hugged her arms full of corn and threw them all into the basket.The full grains collide with each other, and the sound is thick.

"It's not a question of fairness or unfairness..." Li Mu felt a little headache, what should he say?

"I know, you want me to slow down, it would be best if I don't go." Xia He said bluntly.

Li Mu shut up.

"But that's my family's business." Xia He still said this.

"But your business is my business. Xia He, I am your husband, and it is only natural to help you." Li Mu had no choice but to blurt out.

Xia He opened his mouth to argue, but felt that something was wrong.He thought for a while: "But I'm not a woman, I don't need to be protected by you for a lifetime."

Xia He spoke seriously, with doubts in his expression.But after he finished speaking, he himself suddenly became enlightened.

Li Mu was startled, and then realized that Xia He had grown into a man who was only a little shorter than himself before he knew it.

His shoulders are flat, able to bear and carry.His expression is firm, and he has something in his heart.

It turned out that Xia He had grown up.

Li Mu suddenly remembered how he was when he first met Xia He.At that time, he didn't want to get married again, he just wanted to live by guarding Jinbao, but when he learned that his mother had made a continuation wife for him, he got on a donkey cart tied with big red flowers and rushed to Yue's house to pick him up. up.At that time, Xia He was still small, a 15-year-old half-grown boy who still didn't have the outline of a man, and he walked unsteadily with his head covered, supported by Lan Niang, and slowly approached him.

Li Mu thought at that time that he hoped to take care of this person's life.

But now, Li Mu realized to his surprise that his arms were no longer enough to support Xia He.

Seeing Li Mu's absent-minded appearance, Xia He was quite worried.He waved in front of Li Mu, seeing that Li Mu still didn't respond, he whispered, "Brother Mu, Brother Mu?"

After a long time, Xia He saw that the corner of Li Mu's mouth curled into a self-deprecating smile.

"Brother Mu, what's wrong?" Xia He asked.

Li Mu, who came back to his senses, laughed three times and said, "I was wrong."

Xia He was overjoyed, could it be that Li Mu was about to give in?But what made him suddenly figure it out?

Li Mu wanted to pat Xia He on the head, but shook his head again. This time, before Xia He could refute, he withdrew his hand. It was no longer because Xia He didn't like this action, but because he really felt that Xia He Ho has grown up.

"I was wrong. Although it is said in etiquette that a wife regards her husband as heaven, a man's wife is a man after all." Li Mu shook his head, seeing Xia He's still ignorant expression, and stretched out his hand, "Hechen, from now on, we will We will overcome all difficulties together.”

Xia He looked at the hand that Li Mu stretched out, and finally put his own hand on it.

Instead of being dragged like an adult holding a doll, the two of them interlock their fingers, you will never leave me, and I will never leave you, shoulder to shoulder.Li Mudao said: "Let's leave a year earlier, I will help you as a consultant, who is reliable. You should also help me and urge me to study."

Li Mu took a step back, but refused to take another step back: "One year is enough for the corn to grow a round, is that okay?"

Xia He thought for a while, and finally nodded solemnly: "Okay, then it's a deal, Brother Mu, don't regret it!"

"I won't." Li Mu smiled.

Xia He pushed him and said: "The corn is still on the ground, put it away quickly. There are still two yards, so I will be busy in the afternoon. I will rub some fresh corn to make porridge later, and I will fry some for Jin Bao Corn kernels, sprinkled with sugar, sweet, he likes to eat."

"Just let Aunt Lin do the cooking." Li Mu said yes.

Xia He shook her head: "No, I just figured out this fried corn, and I haven't taught it to Aunt Lin yet. Besides, I promised Jin Bao just now that I would make delicious food for him."

Xia He did it quickly, and he quickly picked up the corn that was scattered all over the yard.Li Mu, on the other hand, didn't do a few jobs. He stood on the side with his hands on his back, straightened up like a log, and didn't dare to move.

Xia He threw all the corn on the ground, purely for the convenience of Jin Bao's little doll to pick it up.Now seeing Li Mu's sad face, he burst out laughing.

He twisted Li Mu's waist. Seeing Li Mu's painful face, Xia He shook his head and said, "Master Juren's waist is precious, and it's like picking up everything. It would be terrible if I asked you to cut the wheat." have to."

Li Mu smiled wryly, this doll was doing cheerful work, he didn't expect that he would do this himself.

Xia He pushed him and asked him to go back to the room to rest quickly: "You can lie down, let Aunt Lin cook the meal, and I will massage your waist."

"You promised Jin Bao." Li Mu told Xia He again what Xia He said just now.

"It's okay, maybe Aunt Lin's fried food is better than mine. Besides, you're hurt. If Jinbao saw it, he wouldn't insist on me cooking. He's not so ignorant." Xia He said yes, now he doesn't think about Jin Bao anymore.

Li Mu felt happy in his heart, obediently pushed by Xia He, and fell straight on the bed.Xia He's hands were strong, through the clothes, she pressed her palms on Li Mu's waist twice, and Li Mu gasped and sighed again.

"Master Juren, how well did you take care of me?" Xia He smiled and said yes.

"There is a reward." Li Mu smiled, imitating those old masters, and so on.

At this moment, Jin Bao broke in: "Uncle! Let's go cook!"

"Your father is injured. Jin Bao is going to tell Aunt Lin, please bring it here when she's done." Seeing the little baby coming, Xia He asked him to run errands on the way, and told him how to fry corn Leaving Jin Bao, he said again, "Don't forget to tell your grandmother too, so that she doesn't worry."

Jin Bao tried his best to remember what Xia He said just now, and nodded after making sure he had remembered it, then moved to the bedside worriedly, and asked, "Is father in pain?"

"Father doesn't hurt, don't worry about Jin Bao." Being cared by the little baby, Li Mu replied yes with a smile.

But Jin Bao suddenly thought of something: "Grandpa told Jin Bao that parents are sick, and children have to take care of them. Uncle, Jin Bao rubs for father!"

Xia He nodded Jin Bao's nose and pretended to be angry: "Go and run errands, you have little strength, what can you do?"

Jin Bao stuck out his tongue and ran away.
