The next day, Zheng Zhinan got up early from the bed and began to jog around the outside of the courtyard. At this time, the rooster hadn't crowed yet, and the sky was only slightly bright, dark blue.

After running and sweating, Zheng Zhinan hid far away and took a shower before putting on his clothes and returning to the kitchen to start making breakfast. He hid far away in the shower because he was afraid that the sound of bathing would disturb the family of three who were sleeping inside.

This stepmother must be the kind of person who would beat the original owner if something goes wrong. In order to avoid being beaten, Zheng Zhinan could only be more cautious.

I prepare more food in the morning than in the evening. After all, I have to go to work on the ground after eating.

There were pancakes and steamed buns, as well as some pickles that were unpalatable to Zheng Zhinan. After frying two dishes, he cooked a pot of porridge.

After making it, the thick ones are for a family of three. As usual, Zheng Zhinan only has a bowl of the thinnest rice soup, and eats steamed buns with pickled vegetables.

The steamed bun was dry and black, although it was distilled, it should still be hard.

Accustomed to eating fine white noodles and crystal clear rice, for Zheng Zhinan, eating here is not very good, just to satisfy his hunger.

What's more, I also ate barbecue yesterday. Compared with it, it is naturally tasteless.

After breakfast, Zheng Zhinan brewed a pot of bamboo leaf tea in a clay pot, put on a rough tea bowl, carried the tea pot, and carried a hoe into the field like Zheng Bei.

Go to the field early, work in the field when the sun is not too hot, loosen the soil, weed and kill insects.

After weeding and picking insects in the sesame field, the two went to the paddy field to look at the rice, which also needs weeding.

Zheng Zhinan has done many things, but he has never done any farm work. He has never done any farm work. He didn't realize it when he was just learning some theoretical knowledge. My waist and hands seemed to be useless, sore and painful.

Zheng Bei drank more than half of a jar of water, Zheng Zhinan only drank three bowls, and when he wanted to drink another bowl, Zheng Bei had already drank all the water in the jar.

At this time, Zheng Zhinan's hands were red, his arms were sore, and his waist was almost unable to straighten up. Needless to say, he was sweating profusely, and his face was flushed from the sun.

At first Zheng Zhinan just thought that his stepmother Yao Xuezhi was a villain, but seeing that Zheng Bei didn't love his eldest son too much, he could see it.

Without Zheng Bei's ignorance and acquiescence, how could Yao Xuezhi be so arrogant.

So, it's wrong for him to only remember Yao Xuezhi's hatred, and he has to remember Zheng Bei well.

A pair of dogs and men and women.

Although the water was finished, Zheng Zhinan didn't say anything, because complaining was useless, and he might be beaten up. He wiped the sweat off his face with his hands, looked at the high sun, and said softly Said to Zheng Bei: "Father, do you want to go back?"

Sitting under the shade of the tree, Zheng Bei lifted up his clothes and wiped the sweat off his face, and said, "I'll go back first, and you can work on it for a while. Anyway, you don't need to cook at noon, so you can go back in half an hour."

Zheng Zhinan saw Zheng Bei's attitude, and it was probably like this often. When Zheng Bei went home, the original owner stayed to work for a while, so what Zheng Bei said was very natural and smooth.

"Okay." Zheng Zhinan responded.

Zheng Bei got up and left with the hoe on his shoulder, without taking back the empty tea pot.

Zheng Zhinan looked at his back and continued to work barefoot in the paddy field.

When Zheng Zhinan was working, what was the situation at home?

Mrs. Zheng had dinner this morning. After watching the two of them leave, she took her son to butcher Zhang to cut some meat. Zheng Yu saw pig tails and wanted to eat fried pig tails. Mrs. Zheng took care of the money box at home and thought Two months ago, she had just sold the peanuts on the three-acre land, paid the tax, and the family still had a surplus. Madam Zheng gritted her teeth and bought a pig's tail in addition to the fatty meat strips. He deliberately asked Butcher Zhang to chop off the pig's tail. After buying so many things, he asked Butcher Zhang to add a small piece of pig skin, and then he left satisfied.

Carrying fatty meat sticks, Mrs. Zheng went home and sliced ​​off the fat, refined it into meat oil and put it in a jar, then cut the lean meat into pieces, and picked a handful of beans from the vegetable garden in the front yard.

When it was almost noon, Mrs. Zheng fried a fried pork with beans, and then fried the pig's tail separately.

After the dishes were fried, half a pot of rice was stuffed.

Finally made another egg soup.

After all these were done, Zheng Bei also came back from the field.

He took a shower, changed into loose clothes, had lunch happily with his wife and children, brought out half a jug of wine specially, drank wine, ate meat, and was as happy as a fairy.

In the two dishes, all the meat went into the stomachs of the three of them, especially Zheng Yu, who ate the most. A plate of pig tails was almost eaten by Zheng Yu.

Zheng Zhinan didn't leave a piece of meat.

After Zheng Zhinan worked for an extra half an hour, he washed his face beside the stream, and went home with a hoe and a pitcher on his shoulder.

When he was doing farm work just now, some villagers saw him still busy, greeted him, and asked him why he didn't go back when the sun was so poisonous.

Zheng Zhinan smiled shyly and replied perfunctorily.

Originally, he wanted to ask a few words, but when he didn't know whether the other party was good or bad, Zheng Zhinan really didn't want to ask some weird words to make people suspicious.

When he walked home, there was no one on the path.

I felt better with a lotus leaf on my head.

Zhou Lianyi came out at this time.

He jumped out from the sesame field next to him, startling Zheng Zhinan who was thinking about something.

Seeing Zheng Zhinan take a few steps back, Zhou Lianyi laughed and said, "Here, I have freshly picked lotus pods here, and the lotus seeds inside are delicious. You haven't eaten yet, so eat some of this stuff first."

Zhou Lianyi was a child of a talented scholar in the town. Zheng Zhinan was wearing a bunt, and he was also wearing a long gown. The clothes were clean and the fabric was not worn by ordinary people at first glance. He was wearing a jade pendant and a sachet containing herbs.

Zheng Zhinan didn't know him, but judging from Zhou Lianyi's every move, the two should be familiar with each other. He changed the teapot to the other hand, and took the lotus pod in Zhou Lianyi's hand with one hand, and was about to take it, Zhou Lianyi suddenly waved his hand and said: " Forget it, it's not convenient for you to peel the lotus seeds, I'll peel them for you." As he spoke, he opened the lotus pod and talked to Zheng Zhinan while walking.

"I heard that you are sick. I was in school before, and I haven't had time to come to my grandpa and grandma. The school had a three-day holiday yesterday. Today I will rush back to visit my grandpa and grandma. And you, are you better?" Said Then he put all the peeled lotus seeds in Zheng Zhinan's hands. Seeing that Zheng Zhinan was eating lotus seeds, he took out the medicine bottle on his cuff and said, "This is the medicine I often use at home. It is very good for injuries."

Zheng Zhinan stuffed the lotus pod into his mouth, waved his hands and said to Zhou Lianyi after eating, "My wound has scabbed over, so I don't need any medicine."

Zhou Lianyi stopped in his tracks and said to Zheng Zhinan: "You should also apply it when scabs are formed. This will heal quickly and also lighten the scars. It is the best medicine anyway." He was afraid that Zheng Zhinan would refuse again.

Seeing his expression, Zheng Zhinan thought about it and accepted it, and put it in his inner pocket.

"You still run out on such a hot day."

Zhou Lianyi said: "Didn't I want to come and see you? But I dare not go to your house. If I go to your house twice, your mother will introduce me to her niece and niece. It's too much trouble."

Hearing this, Zheng Zhinan complained in his heart, it's too scary, one can imagine Mrs. Zheng's flattery when she saw this rich young man.

"have you eaten?"

"I've eaten it before. I know you should still be working in the field at this time, so I ran out after eating."

"Thank you, young master, for coming to see me."

Hearing Zheng Zhinan calling him son, Zhou Lianyi looked stunned, and immediately took Zheng Zhinan's arm and said, "Why did you call me son all of a sudden, are you angry with me, because I didn't go back to Zhengjia Village during the Chinese New Year, you used to call me Lianyi Yes, he must be mad at me."

Very good, I know his name, Lian Yi.

"No, it's just that my mother told me that I can't call you by my first name, I have to call you young master." Zheng Zhinan said this in order to provoke Zhou Lianyi's name, so now he can only use Mrs. Zheng's name to expose this matter.

"It's your mother again. We've known each other since we were young. What's wrong with calling me by my name? Don't worry about your mother. If you're afraid of her, you can call me son in front of her, but you don't have to do that when we meet in private." Called, I thought you were angry with me for taking so long to see you."

Zheng Zhinan nodded and said hello.

The two chatted and reached the entrance of the village, Zhou Lianyi walked with Zheng Zhinan for a while before separating from him.

Zheng Zhinan went north, Zhou Lianyi went south.

After walking a few steps, Zheng Zhinan turned his head and saw a boy dressed as a bookboy rushing out not far away, calling Mr. Zhou Lianyi with a sad face, what Zheng Zhinan said, Zheng Zhinan didn't hear.

At first glance, it looks like a well-to-do family, even a book boy.

He has a lot of connections, a wealthy family, good looks, old rules, and is listed as a member of the Raiders reserve.

When Zheng Zhinan returned home, all he saw was a dish with only a few beans and rice at the bottom of the pot.

Zheng Zhinan put down his things, put the medicine on his bed and covered it with a pillow.

Then I went to clean up the leftovers, poured the vegetable soup and a few beans into the pot, added water, shoveled off the rice crust with a shovel, and cooked it into porridge.

When cooking the porridge, I added some washed green vegetables, and then washed and put away the other dishes and chopsticks.

They mixed the leftover vegetable soup with rice crust, which actually tasted much better. You could tell that there was meat oil in the vegetable soup. The family of three probably ate meat at noon.

It's just a piece of meat, and you still avoid him to eat it, does he care about it?After a while, I went to the mountains to catch fish and rabbits to eat.

After finishing a bowl of cooked leftovers, Zheng Zhinan knew that he had no right to take a lunch break, so he consciously picked up his back basket and walked out with a sheep and a sickle.

In fact, a person is much more comfortable outside than at home.

When he came out this time, Zheng Zhinan specially wrapped some salt in the leaves and sprinkled it on the meat when he was grilling.
