It was rather embarrassing to know each other at first, and with the blessing of being drunk, Shen Chuqing felt uncomfortable as long as she was alone with him.

Taking a sneak peek, Zhou Xu, who was flipping through his phone, shouted tentatively: "Lawyer Zhou, go and do your work, I don't need your supervision here.

Don't worry, I will walk around the entire Qunfang Garden as the teacher said. "

Zhou Xu put away his phone in a sinking heart, and looked up at her, thinking that he was standing here to help his aunt supervise her for a walk together with this girl?

She sighed helplessly in her heart, and said with the same gentle smile on her face: "Auntie is worried about you going out for a walk alone.

Although Qunfangyuan has always been relatively safe, no one can guarantee that you, a girl, will not be in danger.

As a member of Qunfang Garden, I have the responsibility and obligation to take good care of you, and I just ate too much, and I also need to go out to digest food. "

"But didn't you just say that our garden is eight or nine miles away, are you sure you can really walk?"

Shen Chuqing asked suspiciously, Zhou Xu's heart was even more congested, why this person couldn't find the point, is this the time to consider the length of the journey?Shouldn't the concern be security issues?

"If you can walk all the way, do you think I, a big man, won't be able to walk?" Zhou Xu asked back.

"That's right, let's go then! See if we can meet Teacher and the others."

Shen Chuqing nodded, stood up and left the restaurant, walked out of the compound along the corridor, and walked slowly along the paved concrete sidewalk.

Zhou Xu unhurriedly followed her two steps away, and walked for about a kilometer. The two of them did not exchange a word from the beginning to the end, and they really complied with the sentence of digestion and walking.

As early summer approaches, it gets dark late, and the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the mulberry trees on both sides of the road. It is so peaceful that people can forget all their troubles in an instant.

Zhou Xu looked at the back of the girl in front of him, and the figure in the video screen involuntarily appeared in his mind.

After searching for eight full years, the person in front of me is my original savior. Do you want to tell her?

After Zhou Xu thought about it again and again, he decided that it was better not to disrupt the life in front of him. For repaying the favor, it is enough to repay the favor secretly, but it cannot cause a psychological burden on the benefactor.

Shen Chuqing suddenly stopped, her eyes fixed on two figures, one big and one small, not far in front of her.

Zhou Xu looked over and found that about five or six meters away, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl was standing on the branch of a mulberry tree, handing the plucked mulberry leaves to a person under the tree who looked about [-] years old. An old woman in her seventies.

The old woman quickly took the mulberry leaves and put them into the basket, and she still reminded her carefully: "Yan Yan'er, be careful, you must stand firm on your feet, don't climb too high, we will pick the ones that cannot be picked from above." Don’t pick it up, just pick the ones that are easy to pick below.”

"I know, you don't have to worry, come and help me take this one first, I will drag that branch down, the leaves on it are so tender, the little silkworms will definitely like to eat them."

The little girl said happily, and handed the handful of leaves in her hand to the old woman, stood up straight, supported the tree trunk with one hand, raised her toes, and reached for a tree full of mulberry leaves on top of her head with the other hand. branches.

Looking at her swaying body, Shen Chuqing was really afraid that she would accidentally fall from the top, and was about to shout, but Zhou Xu stopped her with an imaginary gesture.

"Don't make a sound, it's not good to scare people!" Zhou Xu said in a low voice.

The little girl grabbed the branch, dragged it down, and began to pluck the leaves skillfully.

"Don't worry about the ones above, just pick what you can reach." The old woman said angrily when she saw that her feet had stabilized.

"Okay, I'll only pick what's on hand, don't worry, I'm a monkey, I can't fall."

Shen Chuqing looked at the little girl, and suddenly remembered that when she was young, she also went to pick mulberry leaves with her grandmother on the top of the field.

However, I am not as capable as this little girl. I just sit under the mulberry tree and play with mud. After my grandma has picked it, I follow her home.

The scene in front of me, although it looks very warm, but the old and the young make people feel sad.

Shen Chuqing looked at the two panniers next to the old grandma, and there was another one that was empty!Taking a look at the sky, the grandparent and grandson are still here at this point, probably they haven't even had dinner yet.

Shen Chuqing decided to help them, but before she could walk over, she found that Zhou Xu had already walked over with a big bag of mulberry leaves in her hands, and put them into the empty pannier.

Not to be outdone, Shen Chuqing stood on tiptoe and grabbed the branches hanging from the nearby mulberry tree, and began to help pick the mulberry leaves. The two of them seemed to be competing, competing for who was faster and who picked the leaves The leaves are the tenderest and largest.

The movement here disturbed the grandparents and grandchildren. The little girl looked down from the tree and recognized Zhou Xulai at a glance. Friends are helping us pick mulberry leaves."

"I'm not her girlfriend." Shen Chuqing subconsciously denied it. Seeing her shy and angry look, Zhou Xu quickly smiled and said, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense, this young lady is Mr. Qunfang's new disciple, but Not my girlfriend!"

The little girl frowned and said, "But you two really look like a couple."

As if to prove her own thoughts, the little girl quickly added another sentence: "Grandma, do you think they look like a partner? It's getting dark, and they didn't come out to pick mulberry leaves. Who would Go into the woods."

"..." Shen Chuqing once again looked up at the little girl in front of her. Logically, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

The old lady smiled and said: "You girl is talking nonsense again, you see that you are embarrassing for talking about other young ladies.

Lawyer Zhou, your little junior sister is really pretty. You can take a rest by the side, and we can pick it off by ourselves, so don't get your clothes dirty. "

"It's okay, it's getting dark, let's do it together, and you can go home and cook early." Shen Chuqing finished with a smile, and continued to pick mulberry leaves nimbly.

Seeing this, the little girl also yelled at the old grandma: "Grandma, hurry up and help me carry it, I can't even hold it in my hand."

Only then did the old woman walk over and continue to cooperate with her seamlessly.

With the help of Shen Chuqing and the others, in a short while, both baskets were full.
