it's dark, coax me

"No."

Gu Xiu really didn't feel this way, he felt very relaxed when he was with Zhou Xing these days, and Zhou Xing also took good care of him during this time.

Zhou Xing just smiled when he heard this.

It was exactly ten o'clock in the morning when the two arrived at the picking garden.

The archway of the Picking Garden is made of bamboo, and the words Leisure Picking and Sightseeing Garden are written on it, which looks quite pastoral.

There are bamboo fences on both sides of the archway, and the enclosure area should be quite large.

Zhou Xing didn't stop, and drove along the concrete road through the opened bamboo gate.

The picking garden is surrounded by fruit trees, and you can see several greenhouses in the middle.

Further forward turned out to be an antique small courtyard.

The road in front of the small courtyard is no longer a cement road, but a layer of stone bricks.

Zhou Xing stopped in front of the stone brick, then got out of the car and got Gu Xiu a cane, and helped him get out of the car.

Zhang Wanwan in the back seat stood up.

Gu Xiu looked in Zhang Wanwan's direction.

"I'll take you in first, and I'll come and let it get off the car later."

Gu Xiu nodded.

The two walked slowly.

Although Gu Xiu had met Zhou Xing's friends before, looking at the house in front of him, thinking about how many people he would meet in a while, he still felt a little repelled.

He tried his best to control his expression, trying to show himself to be friendly, and at the same time, he was quickly looking for topics in his mind, so as not to make the chat atmosphere awkward again in a while.

Zhou Xing brought him over to play, it would not spoil the overall atmosphere because of him.

Just when Gu Xiu was thinking about this, the two of them had already arrived at the door of the south room.

Zhou Xing yelled twice, and the room was silent.

Zhou Xing helped Gu Xiu sit down on the chair under the tree, and said, "Sit down and rest for a while, and I'll check the situation."

Gu Xiu responded.

Zhou Xing was driving all the way, and Zhou Xing was tired because he had nothing to rest.

But compared to going inside the room, he really prefers to sit alone under the tree at this time.

He looked at the branch above his head. It was a locust tree, which seemed to have grown up for several years.

Suddenly, there was some slight movement around.

Gu Xiu looked sideways, only to find that two big geese had quietly approached him.

Gu Xiu looked at him, and one of the big geese made a 'quack' cry instantly, and the two rushed towards his position together.

Gu Xiu felt a little bad, he stood up from the chair with his crutches, and walked to the side.

The two big geese were still chasing behind him.

Seeing this, Gu Xiu quickened his pace and ran in the opposite direction.

The two big geese even flapped their wings and ran after them.

Gu Xiu limped and ran away with a stick. At this moment, the scene was really out of control.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Wanwan in the carriage began to bark at the door, but the door was locked and the windows were not opened, so he couldn't get out of it for a while.

When Zhou Xing and Zheng Yan heard the movement, they saw Gu Xiuxiu being chased away by geese.

Seeing Zhou Xing, Gu Xiu ran towards him in a hurry and shouted, "Don't watch the excitement, come and help me!"

Zhou Xing quickly stepped forward to protect him in his arms, Zheng Yan followed and drove the two big geese away.

Seeing this, Gu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Xing lowered his head and plucked off a piece of goose feather on Gu Xiu's body. Thinking of the scene just now, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"stop laughing?"

Gu Xiu glared at Zhou Xing in dissatisfaction, but he couldn't help laughing after a while.

Zheng Yan scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect such a thing to happen..."

The animals in the picking garden are generally raised free-range, and they don't hurt people very much. I really didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Gu Xiu signaled that he was fine.

Although Zhou Xing didn't say anything, he never left Gu Xiu's side again, and even handed over the matter of releasing Zhang Wanwan from the car to Zheng Yan.

Qian Jing was the first one to come. He had already taken his girlfriend to pick vegetables in the garden, and was only waiting for a while to cook.

Originally, there were not many people in their gathering, and Meng Ze was the only one who hadn't come yet.

Zheng Yan called him, and after hearing that he would arrive at noon, he couldn't help laughing and complaining: "You don't know how to come to help earlier, just wait to eat ready-made ones."

Meng Ze didn't know what to say on the phone, and the two chatted with each other with a smile before hanging up the phone.

Meng Ze looked at Zhou Xingdao: "Let's not wait for him, go directly to the picking garden."

Zhou Xing looked sideways at Gu Xiu.

Seeing Zhou Xing looking at him, Gu Xiu hesitated for a while.

He was worried that following the past would not be of much help, but would add chaos to Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing seemed to be aware of Gu Xiu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Let's go and have a look together, you don't need to do anything, just tell me if there is anything you want to eat, I will pick it for you, pick more today, and take it back at night. "

He brought Gu Xiu here, firstly because he wanted to take him out to get some fresh air, and secondly because he wanted to take him to pick some fruits and vegetables that he liked and take them home to eat.

This picking garden was jointly run by him and Zheng Yan after they retired from the army. It can be said that he is also half of the boss here.

They grow organic vegetables and fruits, and they are more at ease eating the things they grow themselves. Most of the fruits and vegetables he eats on weekdays are picked from here.

Gu Xiu and Zhou Xing looked at each other for a moment, and finally nodded.

Zheng Yan walked in front, Zhou Xing supported Gu Xiu and walked behind.

Everyone is familiar with Zhang Wanwan, and they know that it doesn't bite, and they are not afraid of it. After Zheng Yan released it from the car, he didn't tie it up again. excited look.

When the three of them arrived, Qian Jing and Zhang Hui had already picked a small box of vegetables.

Seeing the three of them, Qian Jing said: "I have learned two new dishes, and I will let you try my skills later."

Zheng Yan laughed immediately when he heard this, "That's a good relationship, if you don't do it, Brother Zhou will come again."

Qian Jing said 'ah', "Wait a minute, I said I cook, but I didn't say that I make dumplings. I'm fine with one or two dishes, but if there are too many, it will be too embarrassing for me... Brother Zhou, this You still have to come, I'll help you, okay?"

Zhou Xing smiled and said, "Okay."

Gu Xiu looked at Zhou Xing, he really had a good temper, and he was really used to taking care of others, it seemed that not only when he was with him, but when he was with other people, he always seemed to be taking care of others .

The few people dispersed soon after they met, Zheng Yan went to pick fruit, Qian Jing and Zhang Hui stayed where they were, and Zhou Xing led Gu Xiu around the shed here and then went to another greenhouse.

Gu Xiu walked beside Zhou Xing, turned his head and asked, "Are you the biggest here?"

Zhou Xing responded.

In fact, Zhou Xing and Qian Jing are the same age, and Zheng Yan and Meng Ze are only one or two years younger than him, basically the same age.

But everyone is taken care of by Zhou Xing on weekdays, and he is indeed the one with the oldest birthday, so everyone used to call him brother.

"How old are you?" Gu Xiu asked.

"thirty."

Zhou Xing smiled and said, "I'm older than you, you can call me brother with them."

Gu Xiu is 28 this year, and Zhou Xing is indeed older than him, but he can't pronounce the word 'brother', so he doesn't answer his words.

Zhou Xing smiled and didn't continue talking.

The several greenhouses here are full of all kinds of vegetables and fruits, which can be said to be everything, but when faced with Zhou Xing's question about what he likes to eat, Gu Xiu couldn't answer for a while.

He has no obvious preference for food, and for many years, he can say that he has no interest in anything.

Even after recovering from his illness, he would eat more delicious food, but when asked what he likes to eat, he still found it difficult to answer.

He thought about the dishes that Zhou Xing had cooked for him before, looked at the nearby vegetables, and randomly pointed out a few from them.

Zhou Xing found a box in the shed and put it in front of Gu Xiu, and found him a cushion, let him sit on the box, and went to dig vegetables by himself.

Seeing Zhou Xing busy there, Gu Xiu was too embarrassed to do nothing, so he asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"There are potatoes under your feet, why don't you help me dig some potatoes."

As he spoke, he handed the hoe to Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu put the walking stick by his side, and reached out to take the hoe.

Zhou Xing continued: "You don't need to stand up, just sit and dig around."

It was Gu Xiu's first time digging potatoes. If Zhou Xing hadn't told him, he wouldn't even be able to recognize the potato seedlings.

He swung his hoe at a position not far from his feet, and as a result, the potato was cut in half as soon as the hoe went down.

Gu Xiu: ...

He frowned slightly, and began to think about the feasibility of directly pulling it out.

Zhou Xing discovered the situation on his side, walked over, took the hoe from him, and showed him a demonstration, "When digging, dig forward and turn it out, so that the same situation will not happen again. gone."

Gu Xiu took the hoe from Zhou Xing's hand again, and tried it according to the method he said, and this time it really didn't happen again.

Zhou Xing took a bamboo basket and put it at Gu Xiu's feet, "Just dig it out and put it inside. If it's not convenient for you, you can put it where it is. I'll come and pick it up later."

Gu Xiu responded.

After the two people picked almost all the vegetables here, Zhou Xing put the things aside, and said to Gu Xiu, "Just put the things here first, I'll come and get them later, and now I'll take you to the orchard to see if there is anything you want to eat fruit."

When the two arrived, Zheng Yan had already picked a lot. After seeing the two, he smiled and said, "It's almost done here, so I don't need to help."

"I'm not here to help you. I'll pick some and bring them back."

Zheng Yan let out a 'tsk', deeply feeling that he had wasted his feelings, seeing that it was almost done, he said hello to Zhou Xing, and went back to prepare lunch first.

Gu Xiu picked two apples with his crutches. Zhou Xing saw that he was standing unsteadily, so he moved the rattan rocking chair over and asked him to sit on it. He also washed an apple for him to eat with it. , I went to pick apples for him.

The rocking chair is wobbly and comfortable to sit on.

Gu Xiu leaned on the rocking chair, looking at the trees above his head.

The leaves swayed slightly, and the sunlight shone through the shadows of the whirling trees, forming mottled light and shadows.

Gu Xiu closed his eyes, feeling the sunshine and the breeze.

Zhou Xing happened to see this scene when he turned his head, and felt that Gu Xiu looked like a lazily dozing cat in the sun.
