"Knock Knock-"

Lu Jin was holding a basket in his hand, and there was some food in the basket. He stood outside the door and knocked on the door. The door of the yard here was rotten and hadn't been repaired. Only half of the wooden boards were hanging on it. He stood From the outside you can see what the courtyard looks like.

Because he ran here to plant the land a while ago, he has cleaned up the weeds in the yard, and there are many melons planted in the field near the courtyard wall, with a wooden shelf on it, and some melon vines climbed up the wall , It seems that the whole yard is lush and full of vitality.If it weren't for the dilapidated houses inside, such a courtyard would not look like a place where no one lives, but now people are living in this small courtyard.

He stood outside the door and waited for a while without hearing a response from inside. Maybe the people inside didn't hear his knock on the door?Lu Jin had no choice but to stick his head in and shout, "Excuse me, is anyone there, can I come in?"

Just when he was hesitating whether to go in, a tall man stood at the door of the inner room, looking at him with a serious and guarded face, "Who are you and what's the matter?"

"I live in the yard next door. My name is Lu Jin, and I'm from this village." Lu Jin pointed to the yard where he lived, and told the other party his name, with the expression that a teenager should have. Emoticons and smiles.

Feeling that the other party's guard against him was a little loose, he walked in, handed the basket in his hand to the man, with a kind smile on his face, and said: "I saw you on the road just now, and I heard you live Here comes the voice. You probably haven’t eaten lunch, I’ll bring you some food, these are the leftovers from our morning meal, I’ve already heated them up, I hope you don’t dislike them.”

Because grandpa came today, they fried vegetables and cooked rice at noon, so there were leftovers from the porridge and steamed buns cooked in the morning, and he reheated them and sent them to the new neighbors.

As for the dishes they ate at noon, Lu Jin didn't bring them over to others, because their lunch dishes were all touched with chopsticks.Although they were also leftovers, the porridge and steamed buns were clean and had not been touched by them with their chopsticks. He felt that it would not be rude to send them to others.

"Maybe you didn't have anything to cook when you just moved here. There is a small pot and two sets of bowls and chopsticks here. They are lent to you. You don't need to return them. I still have more at home." There is another one in the basket. A small pot filled with porridge and two sets of bowls and chopsticks. Because he thought that the other party might have nothing when he just moved here, Lu Jin recalled the scene when Lu Jinxiu brought his younger brothers and sisters to live outside. A stranger who had met once had some sympathy and empathy, so after thinking about it, he still sent some things here.

It's okay that he can't see it. If he saw it with his own eyes, he would feel a little guilty if he didn't reach out to help others.Of course, it's also because these two people don't feel like bad guys to him, otherwise he wouldn't dare to run over easily to meet two strangers he doesn't know.

From now on, they lived in two adjacent courtyards, and they were more or less neighbors. In the future, they would have to deal with each other. He extended a helping hand to others and gave the new neighbor a good impression.After all, their families are old and young, and they still have to deal with their neighbors.

"Thank you." The man paused, apparently he didn't expect someone to bring them food. He was a vegetarian who looked like he was only in his teens.Indeed, as the young man said, they had just moved to this place, and they had nothing, not even a pot for boiling water. The things the young man sent solved his urgent needs.

There was a coughing sound in the room, and a slightly weak but nice voice said, "Murong, is anyone here?"

"I won't bother you, I'm leaving first. If you need anything, you can find me next door." Hearing the voice of questioning from inside, Lu Jin knew that staying here would disturb others, so he ready to go.

The man thanked him and hurried into the house.

Lu Jin opened his mouth and wanted to tell the man that these melons outside were grown by him, so you can eat whatever you want. When he saw the figure of the man disappearing at the door, there were two voices talking inside, one was asking and the other was answering, He heard a little tenderness in the man's voice, which was completely different from the alienated and guarded voice he spoke just now.

After all, he felt that it was not good to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, so he hurried away, thinking that he would talk to others next time.

Lu Jin didn't know that after he walked away, the man inside glanced in the direction of the door, and the guard on his face disappeared after hearing his leaving footsteps.

"It's a kid living next door who brought us some food. I'll bring it in. You wait here for me." After the boy left, Murong Zhende came out from the inner room and took Picking up the basket he had put on the ground, he lifted the lid and saw a small pot inside. He opened the lid and saw a saucer inside. There were a few small steamed buns in the saucer, which were still warm to the touch.

What surprised him the most was that there was a small bag in the basket. He opened it and took a look, and found that the bag contained white rice, weighing about two or three catties.These days, rice is a precious commodity in the city. I never thought that a boy from the countryside would give them such a small bag of rice.

When life was good in the past, Murong Zhende never thought that he would fall into such a difficult situation one day, and he brought his sick lover to the countryside to accept the kindness from a strange boy .In the past, he would not accept other people's things casually, but today he has to accept, even if it is not for himself, he must have a meal for the person inside.

Sighing inwardly, Murong Zhende carried the basket into the house, put the basket on the edge of the kang, and helped the person lying on the kang to get up, "There are porridge and steamed buns here, and they are still hot. "

The roof of their room was broken, and the sun shone through the broken roof, but luckily it didn't shine on the kang where they were sleeping.Murong Zhende supported Qi Yu to sit on the edge of the kang, there was a big spoon in the basket, he scooped up a bowl of porridge with the big spoon, and passed the porridge to Qi Yu to drink.

"Cough..." Qi Yu took the bowl and took a sip. The sticky porridge was very suitable for his appetite. He took two sips and saw that there was still porridge in the pot. He said to the man, "You can eat it too." Come on, don't just watch me eat." Seeing him couldn't fill his stomach again.

Since the two of them ate something this morning, Qi Yu actually didn't feel very hungry, but he knew that this man must be hungry.

"Okay, you can eat too. Do you want steamed buns?" Murong Zhende saw that there was still half a pot of porridge in the pot, and knew that Qi Yu couldn't finish it all by himself, so he poured a bowl of porridge from another bowl, I ate it with steamed buns and pickled vegetables.

"This steamed bun is a bit sweet, and it's delicious." Qi Yu was the first to eat sweet steamed buns, and there seemed to be a milky smell?Although the taste is a bit strange, he can still accept it.But Murong Zhende was not used to this steamed bun, he refused to eat one, and left the rest for Qi Yu to eat.

When Qi Yu saw sauerkraut, he said that he wanted to eat it too, but the man refused to give it to him. He looked at the man with pleading eyes, and this man was "generous" to give him a little bit, just a little bit, tasted it. However, for him who has been sick for so long and his mouth is already tasteless, this bit of sauerkraut still made him taste sauerkraut, so he happily drank the remaining half bowl of porridge.

***

After the two had dinner together, Murong Zhende cleaned the house outside, Qi Yu took some medicine after eating, and fell asleep in the house. He heard the voice of a child next door, and knew in his heart that the next door was The place where the boy who came to deliver things to them today lived, and he hadn't gone to thank the boy for bringing them something.

In the afternoon, the captain of the village came to them with a few people, brought them some food and supplies, and told him some village rules and arrangements for him to work in the village , Two people were left here to help them repair the house, and the captain took the people to work.

Murong Zhende had a good impression of the captain of this village. He knew that the captain of this village was a kind person.He was less worried about their future life in the country.

The two remaining men went up to the roof to help them mend the roof, and he gave someone a little money so that the two of them could repair the broken doors and windows by the way.

By the time the two were sent away, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

The sound of children talking came from the yard next door, as if the children had come back from school.Not long after, there was another burst of vegetable smells. Someone else's house was cooking, and they didn't know where their dinner was.

Facing his lover's gaze, Murong Zhende felt uncomfortable, touched his lover's hand, got up and said: "I'll go and make you some porridge."

But when it was time to cook, Murong Zhende found that they had neither water nor firewood for cooking, so he stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Qi Yu looked at the man who was at a loss, as if he was a child who had done something wrong, coughed lowly, and reminded the man: "Why don't you go to the next door and ask what we are lacking, look at the village If there is anything to buy here, buy some and bring them back.”

"Okay, you're at home, I'll go to the next door to ask." Murong Zhende remembered that the captain who came today told him that there was a well next door, and they could go to the next door to fetch water and come back to eat, but he found that there was a well in the next door. I don't even have a container for water, so I have to buy a bucket and other necessities for life, but I don't know if they can be bought in the countryside.
