A meal is ready, just at noon.

Jing Mo made half of the mulberry leaf pork soup out of a basin, and sent it to Nan Xing.

Nan Xing has come back from the field and is eating lunch.

Lunch is steamed buns and porridge left over from the morning, and a little sauerkraut.

When Jing Mo came to knock on the door, he felt something in his heart.

It doesn't mean that there are no prophets, but that the people who knock on his door at this time are most likely to be Jingmo.

And his grandfather just said that Jingmo is renovating the dishes again.

When he opened the door, he saw Jing Mo holding a pot of steaming pork soup. It was no surprise that he could even take it from Jing Mo.

Jing Mo was stunned.

As usual, when he brings things over, although he can get in smoothly, it will inevitably take some grinding.

But why is Nan Xing so talkative today?

Seeing him standing there blankly, Nan Xing frowned and asked, "Aren't you going back for dinner?"

"You...you don't talk about me anymore?"

Nan Xing said helplessly: "As long as it is useful, you won't come here today, go back to eat, and I will send you the basin later."

"Oh." Jing Mo turned to leave.

"Wait." Nan Xing called him to stop, Jing Mo turned around and saw him pursing his lips, and then said: "Thank you."

Jing Mo was overjoyed: "No need."

Seeing his stretched eyebrows, Nan Xing couldn't help laughing: "Go back."

"it is good."

Satisfied, Jing Mo returned home happily.

Because of his good mood, Jingmo ate all the steamed eggs and fried vegetables, and there were only about two bowls of pork soup left, which he reserved for Zhou Jing.

The kid was coming over to chop wood in the afternoon, so it happened to feed him when he was hungry.

He cleaned up the dishes, and Nan Xing also came over.

The courtyard door was not locked, so Nan Xing came in directly.

He just yelled first in the yard: "Jingmo."

Jing Mo was cleaning the table at that time, so he replied through the window: "Here."

Nan Xing walked in.

Jing Mo washed the rag and hung it on the nails on the wooden window to dry.

He took out the tea set that had been brewed again and asked, "Would you like some tea?"

Nan Xing shook his head: "No, I drank a lot of soup and my stomach is still full."

"Just leave the basin alone."

Nan Xing didn't put it casually, but put it directly in the cupboard.

He looked at the empty cupboard, with nothing but bowls and chopsticks, and asked, "You went to town today, didn't you buy any food?"

He put all the meat in the ring: "Yes, I haven't taken it out yet."

Nan Xing thought that he kept it somewhere else, so he didn't ask again: "How much is the meat I entrusted you to buy?"

"Don't you need to give it?"

"Ok?"

Jing Mo scratched his head and explained, "Anyway, I want to pick vegetables in your vegetable garden, so I'll pick them from there."

Nan Xing sighed: "How much are the vegetables grown at home worth?"

"The account can't be calculated like this, after all, you worked so hard." Jing Mo disagreed.

Nan Xing is used to this man always being serious in unwarranted places: "Then you have to say something."

"It's still the old price, twelve cents a catty." It's not that Jing Mo doesn't want to erase the change, but because of Nan Xing's seriousness, he probably will ask, or he will go to town in the future and know that he will pay a small number. Will make it up to him.

"Okay, let's talk about it later." Nan Xing wanted to leave after speaking, but after thinking about it, he still said: "The soup just now is very good."

Jing Mo's eyes lit up again: "If you like it, I'll make it for you next time."

These words really make people blush.

If the other party is a brother, or if he is a man, it sounds fine, but the two of them are attracted to each other in their identities. How can we not think about such things?

And the other person's expression, who was so calm just now, suddenly looked like a big dog, as if giving him a tail could wag him to the sky.

The kind of warm, sincere, straightforward joy.

It was conveyed precisely through those eyes.

Nan Xing didn't dare to stay any longer, he hurriedly left.

There is quite a feeling of fleeing.

Fortunately, he was facing the unenlightened Jing Mo, which gave him a chance to breathe.

At the same hour as yesterday, Zhou Jing came to his home to report.

Jing Mo was woken up by him, and came over to open the door yawning.

"coming?"

Zhou Jingjing nodded. I have to say that apart from the elderly and children, Brother Jing is probably the happiest person in the village.

Jing Mo got up early in the morning, hadn't woken up yet, and happened to be fine, so he planned to go back to sleep, but before entering the house, he ordered: "There is lean meat soup for you in the kitchen, if you feel cold, light a fire to warm it yourself Wen, remember to eat, otherwise I will also be dumped."

To deal with this kind of solid-eyed child, Jing Mo is the best at picking up tricks.

Sure enough, Zhou Jing could only reluctantly agree.

That end of Jingmo entered the house, and after Zhou Jing brought in the wooden frame used for sawing, he closed the courtyard door and went to the utility room to get the saw. Yesterday, he had already sawed off what Jingmo saw a few days ago. The wood sections have been chopped into firewood, and they have to be re-sawed today.

For a while, there was only the sound of sawing wood in the yard.

When Jing Mo woke up, half an hour later, he got up and washed his face with well water. The cold temperature completely eliminated the drowsiness.

In the yard, Zhou Jing's feet were piled up with knee-high wooden sections, which he sawed off during that time.

Zhou Jing was working hard, Jing Mo went to the kitchen to check first, the pork soup left for the child was still there, but it was already cold.

The weather is so hot, it doesn't matter if you drink it cold, but the broth must be hot to taste, so Jing Mo sent a handful of pine leaves into the stove, stuffed a few dead wood branches, and boiled the soup hot.

After finishing, he went out and called Zhou Jing: "The soup is warmed up for you, go drink it first."

Zhou Jing heard this, and said without raising his head, "I'm not hungry, you can eat, Brother Jing."

"How did you agree before?"

"..." There was no other way, Zhou Jing had no choice but to put down what he was doing, wash his hands and drink pork soup.

A large bowl is full, and half the bowl is meat.

To be honest, I'm afraid the village chief's family doesn't eat like this.

Brother Jing is so kind, it would be even better if A Niang could also eat it.

Zhou Jing wanted to bring it back to A Niang and his younger sister to eat, but it was left for him by Brother Jing, and he was too embarrassed to ask for it.

Seeing him dawdling, not knowing what was going on in his heart, Jing Mo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, can't you eat it?" It's not bad at all.

Zhou Jing shook his head hastily, picked up a chopstick of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Jing Mo was satisfied, so he just said, Brother Xing said it was good.

"Have you visited the field today?"

Zhou Jingjing nodded: "I went to see it this morning and split some bamboo sticks along the way."

Regarding the length of the bamboo stick, Jing Mo also briefly talked about it, and Zhou Jing will do it, so he probably has a plan in mind.

"Okay, you are busy in the field first, and then come to me if you have any questions."

"it is good."

It took more than half a quarter of an hour for Zhou Jing to finish a big bowl of pork soup, wash the bowl and go back to work.

Jing Mo had nothing to do, so he swept all the rooms that hadn't been cleaned in the past few days.

Touching east and west, the sun also went down without knowing it.

Jing Mo originally planned to stay with Zhou Jing for dinner, but Zhou Jing, who had just had a bowl of pork soup from him, refused no matter what, so Jing Mo had no choice but to let him go back.

Later, when there was still a glimmer of light in the sky, the village chief approached the door.

When the village head came to Jingmo, Jing Mo probably knew what it was for, so he led him into the living room, lit candles and made tea.

The plain teapot is full of hot air, and the tea aroma flows from the spout into the teacup and spreads out.

Jing Mo asked while pouring tea, "Have you eaten?"

"Just finished eating, I'll come over and reconcile the account with you." The village head took a sip of hot tea and took out a notebook from his pocket.

"Tell me." Jing Mo sat down beside him.

"Except for Xing Xing and Ah Hai, the working hours of the others are the same, two days for weeding, two days for dividing ridges, and one day for planting, a total of five days. One person costs fifty cash, and Ah Hai spends two and a half days, which is 32 coins. Percent, Xingxing spent two days knocking on the grass head, so it is seventy Wen, and ten loads of fertilizer bought from the village forty Wen, a total of 390, two Wen and five cents."

Under the candlelight, the village chief explained to Jingmo by pointing to each number above with a charcoal pencil.

The village chief remembered it carefully, and it seemed clear at a glance.

Jing Mo had no doubts either: "Wait a minute, I'll go get the money."

He got up and went to the bedroom, took four slings of money out of the purse next to the bed, and went back to the living room.

"I don't have any change, so I'll just give it to Uncle Hai." Jing Mo unwrapped one of the strings, took out seven copper coins, and handed the rest to the village chief.

"It's okay if you don't."

"No, it's not easy to make money." Jing Mo was embarrassed to rake the ground so hard.

Hearing this, the village chief smiled and said, "I see that you spend money like running water, and you thought it was easy to make money."

Jing Mo could only apologize.

Facing the candlelight, the village head checked the money one by one, and put it away when there was no problem: "I heard from Lingmei that you still want to invite them to dinner?"

"Well, thanks to everyone, I was able to successfully plant two acres of land."

The village head said: "I shouldn't have said that, but if you hire someone to plant the land, it's a matter of money and goods. There is no need to spend money to invite people to eat."

"You see, I've been here for a long time, and I've received a lot of care from everyone. I should treat everyone to a meal." They all decided to settle in Nanhe Village, and it was inevitable to take care of the relationship between neighbors.

The village head had no choice but to sigh: "Okay, listen to you."

"I haven't made an appointment with everyone yet, when do you think it's suitable?" Jing Mo asked again.

"Just the few people who will work for you?"

"That's the only way to go. There really can't be so many people sitting in the house."

Now that Jingmo has made it clear, the village chief also told the truth: "Mr. Xu's family and the others estimate that they can finish planting in two days, but it will take three or four days for our family."

"Then wait a few more days. By the way, how many people are there in Uncle Hai's family?" He asked about the current population in the village.

The village chief understood, and said, "It's just him, his wife, and his two children."

Jing Mo nodded: "I see."

"I'll let you know when the time comes." The village chief didn't know what Jing Mo's plan was, thinking that he was going to buy vegetables and cook by himself, which must be prepared in advance, and he should have said in advance.

"it is good."

"I still have to go and give them money, so I won't keep it." The village head packed up his notebook and money bag and got up.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Jing Mo also stood up and asked.

The village chief waved his hand: "No, I can walk the roads in the village with my eyes closed."

"Then be careful." Jing Mo sent him out.
