Lin Zhengqing

23.

Lin Zhicheng looked at them and said, "Let's go, what are you talking about?"

"gone."

Du Wenjie came over and said, "Zhicheng, let's go, the two of them are going to the vegetable garden."

"So you still want to come to my house?" Lin Zhicheng asked sincerely.

"Another day, I'm too tired today."

"Okay, Zhengqing's house is just ahead, go back by yourself," Lin Zhicheng turned around and shouted, "Zhigang, go back."

"Okay, brother, I'll come now."

Du Wenjie had to stay alone in the house. He moved out the old man's chair from the house and lay down in the yard.

Rhubarb circled around him a few times, and found a place to lie down in the yard.

One person and one dog stayed in the yard harmoniously.

Bai Haoyu walked slowly behind Lin Zhengqing. It was the most comfortable time in the evening, when the sky darkened and became very gentle, with the breeze blowing.After a day's work is done, the mind is relaxed and the body is also relaxed.

The roads here are narrow and narrow, and the so-called traffic in the fields is probably like this.

"Haoyu, what do you want to eat tonight?" Lin Zhengqing asked.

Bai Haoyu looked at the continuous piece of green in the vegetable garden, and said, "Well, Caixin? I want to eat Caixin."

"Okay." Lin Zhengqing said, "Is there any more?"

"Look again." Bai Haoyu said, he is not picky about food.

Lin Zhengqing bent down to pick the vegetables and weeded the grass by the way.Bai Haoyu sat down on the ridge at the end of the field. He was actually very tired today, but when he saw Du Wenjie said that he would follow, he wanted to follow him instead of letting Du Wenjie follow.

The consequence of being a hero is that you are so tired that you want to sit here without moving. If you close your eyes, you might be able to fall asleep.

"Haoyu," Lin Zhengqing came over to pat him and said, "Let's go."

"Oh."

When Bai Haoyu stood up, he lost his balance and almost stepped on the field.

"Be careful." Lin Zhengqing pulled him up and said, "Are you tired?"

"A bit."

There was only one foot's width between the vegetable fields, and it was relatively slow to walk. Lin Zhengqing walked in front carrying a pole, and Bai Haoyu followed him, and he had to be careful not to bump into his pole.

"Then you're still coming?"

"I just want to come with you." Bai Haoyu said.

"Really? Why?"

"Just want to."

Lin Zhengqing smiled and said, "This is where I have lived for 20 years. I will never get lost or be hit by a car."

This is not the city that scares him, but the place where he has lived for more than 20 years.

"I'm not worried about you."

The two walked side by side on the country road, and walked home slowly under the night.I met many neighbors who were still working in the vegetable fields just like them.

When they got home, Du Wenjie had already fallen asleep on that chair. Now that the weather is a bit cooler, there are a lot fewer mosquitoes.So he was lucky not to be besieged by mosquitoes.

"Why aren't the lights on?" Lin Zhengqing went in and turned on the lights, and also turned on the lights in the yard.Rhubarb opened his eyes and gave them a look, then got down again.

Bai Haoyu said: "He really enjoys it, he moved out all the chairs."

"Maybe I'm tired."

Bai Haoyu sat down on the steps and reached out to touch Rhubarb's head.

Du Wenjie woke up, yelled, and said, "Are you back?"

"woke up?"

Du Wenjie nodded and said, "I'm so sleepy."

Lin Zhengqing quickly put the water on the rack, then boiled the water, cooked the rice, and washed the vegetables.

Bai Haoyu kicked his chair and said, "Du Wenjie, go help."

"I got off work."

"Then you just lie here and wait for someone to feed you?"

"What about you?" Du Wenjie was not convinced.Isn't he the same as sitting here with him?How can you only talk about others, but not yourself?

The two glared at each other.

Lin Zhengqing said: "It's okay, I'll be fine, you're all tired today, you should all take a rest." Even if they came over, they couldn't help much, and it was true that they were making trouble.It's not as fast as he does things alone.

This made the two of them feel embarrassed, they are both adults, and they are of the same age, and they are not your parents, so they have no obligation to serve you.

The two stood up and said, "Let's come together, it's faster."

"No need, it's almost ready here," Lin Zhengqing said, "Haoyu, go and see if the water is hot, you can go take a bath first."

Bai Haoyu touched the lid of the pot and said, "It's hot, then I'll take a bath first."

The rest Du Wenjie stared blankly here, and said, "What about me?"

Bai Haoyu pointed to the small stool in front of the stove, and said, "Go boil the water."

Du Wenjie nodded and said, "Okay."

After Bai Haoyu went in, he and Lin Zhengqing were the only ones left here. Sitting in front of the stove, he felt a little hot.Lin Zhengqing was standing next door, preparing to cook.

Du Wenjie was sitting there, actually quite boring, and he had nothing to do to watch the fire, just to add a few pieces of wood when the firewood was almost gone.

Sitting and sitting is like sleeping, but if you sleep here, will you accidentally fall into the fire and be roasted?Du Wenjie looked at the stove mouth and felt that he was thinking too much, such a small stove mouth couldn't fit his big head.

"Zhengqing, aren't you tired?"

"It's okay." Lin Zhengqing said: "If you're tired, go in, you really don't need to be here."

"I'm here with you."

"Just cook a dish and it will be very fast."

Du Wenjie smiled and said, "I want to be here."

"Oh."

You can do whatever you want, as long as you don't feel bored.Lin Zhengqing didn't care about them either.

After preparing the meals for them, he brought them in. Lin Zhengqing asked them to eat first, and he was going to take care of his own chickens and geese.

"It feels like he's so tired." Du Wenjie said, "I'm still not free to sit down and eat."

Bai Haoyu hit him and said, "Because I want to serve you more."

Du Wenjie shot back: "You still need others to serve you."

"I'm just tired today." Usually he is helpful, okay?

"It's also because I came here on the first day, so I'm just not used to it."

OK, you both have excuses anyway.

Du Wenjie paused, and asked, "Bai Haoyu, where are Zhengqing's parents? Why is he alone?"

Bai Haoyu looked at him, thinking about how to answer.

If Du Wenjie wanted to live here, he couldn't hide it. No matter if he asked him or asked Lin Zhicheng, he would know the answer.Or be bolder and ask Lin Zhengqing directly, no one will hide it.

After all, everyone already knows this.

"It's been several years." Bai Haoyu said.

"Is he alone?"

Du Wenjie was a little surprised, Lin Zhengqing's situation was not very good, he could have guessed it, but it seemed that the real situation was worse than he thought.

Bai Haoyu nodded, and said: "Don't ask about anything else, no matter what the reason is, don't bring up this matter again."

Du Wenjie sighed; "I see."

Early the next morning, Du Wenjie experienced the same intense ideological struggle as his two classmates, whether to get up or not, but it was only seven o'clock!

Bai Haoyu took the initiative to take over Lin Zhengqing's work, saying that he would wake up Du Wenjie.

When Lin Zhengqing passed by the door of his room, he saw Bai Haoyu standing in front of his bed, and said, "Haoyu, didn't you say you wanted to wake him up? Why didn't you just stand there and not move?"

Bai Haoyu rubbed his chin and said, "I'm wondering if I can get a plate of water so that I can wake up faster, so let's get cold water."

Du Wenjie squinted his eyes and scolded: "Bai Haoyu, your uncle, is it so difficult to wake me up? Still using water?"

"You are now an employee of the vineyard, and you will be charged if you are late," Bai Haoyu said, "You still want me, the boss, to wake you up? You are really embarrassing."

He didn't care about deducting the money, he just didn't want to lose face in front of them. He was a college student and couldn't let them get up. He was the only one still lying on the bed, which was too embarrassing.Du Wenjie didn't want to be looked down upon.

"Okay, I'll get up now."

Lin Zhengqing poked his head in and said, "Get up quickly, you can have breakfast."

"coming."

Bai Haoyu didn't have the patience of Lin Zhengqing, it was impossible for him to wake up Du Wenjie every day.Although he himself was woken up by Lin Zhengqing every day, and it took him more than a year to develop the habit of getting up, but he would not have the patience to help Du Wenjie develop this habit.

The two of them were holding a bowl of noodles and sitting on a small stool in the yard eating, Zhengqing was still busy going in and out.Du Wenjie said: "Zhengqing, you should sit down and eat the food first."

Seeing that he was busy day and night, Du Wenjie was exhausted for him.

"Come on, eat first."

"I'll be going to the vineyard later, I'm really busy!" Du Wenjie said.

Bai Haoyu went in and filled another bowl of noodles, and said, "It's not too busy now, the harvest season is the busiest."

And this year's harvest time is more than last year's. They not only introduced vegetables, but also a lot of chickens, ducks and geese, and they are also busy when changing batches.

Du Wenjie also went in and served a bowl. Zhengqing's cooking skills are really good and delicious.

"Really? Then when will your next harvest be?"

"During the Chinese New Year." If the vegetables and livestock are sold before the Chinese New Year, the next batch can be domesticated.At that time, the market will not have to worry so much.

In this way, they can have a second income.Add a couple of bricks to Vineyard's wobbly finances and stabilize it.

"That's right, you guys."

After arriving at the vineyard, Lin Zhengqing took him to the chicken coop and said, "Today we need to clean up the chicken coop and sheep coop."

Du Wenjie looked at the pile of chicken droppings there, and felt that the breakfast he ate today was rolling in his stomach, it was so disgusting.

Seeing that Lin Zhengqing and his other colleagues went in as if nothing had happened and started to clean up, Du Wenjie reflected, was he too squeamish?After several fierce ideological struggles, he finally stepped into the small, dirty and smelly chicken coop.

Lin Zhengqing then used iron catalpa to shovel up the layer of chicken manure on the ground, exposing the original soil, put it on the dustpan, let him pick it out, and hand it over to colleagues working outside, and then plant the soil for grapes and vegetables superior.

Du Wenjie knew it was taking care of him.

The shoulder pole pressed a deep red mark on his shoulder. It was mud, and it was very heavy.When he passed by other chicken coops, he saw Bai Haoyu, Lin Zhicheng and the others doing these jobs in the chicken coop.

Alas, it is not easy.

It took a whole morning to clean up the small chicken coop. Du Wenjie kept his mouth shut all morning, not wanting to speak, for fear that if he spoke, the chicken feathers and dust inside would get into his mouth.

Lin Zhengqing went back first, and prepared to cook for them after a brief wash-up.

Du Wenjie took the initiative to go to Bai Haoyu and the others to help, but there was still one thing that was not settled.I saw that the clothes on their bodies had turned brown and were dirty, and there were still a few chicken feathers on their heads.

Looking at it this way, my own appearance is not much better than theirs.
