Farmer's Rabbit

In the early morning of autumn, there is a coolness, thick fog lingers on the forest path, and the fog accumulated on the grass leaves all night gathers into crystal dewdrops.The hoofs of the galloping horses are flying, the grass blades are shaking, and the dewdrops are rolling down quickly.

Chang Sheng, who got up early on purpose, took a deep breath of the fresh air in the countryside, kicked the horse's stomach lightly, and rode the horse back home.

Last night it was agreed that today he would make delicious food for the boy, but he made an appointment with Angkor and the others to plant rice seedlings in the field, so he had to get up before dawn and go to the city to buy vegetables and meat.

When I got home, the boy was still sleeping.

Chang Sheng entered the kitchen lightly, boiled water, killed the chicken and put it aside for later use. Stir-fry hot oil and ingredients in the pot, then add blanched pork belly and soy sauce, stir-fry for color, then add water and simmer slowly.Turn around to wash the rice and cook the rice, clean up the fish and shrimp, marinate the meat, wait until the sky is bright outside, and breakfast is ready.

After washing his hands and returning to the room, he saw the kicked-off thin quilt on the ground at a glance.

Picking up the thin quilt, Chang Sheng covered the boy who was sleeping soundly, and sat on the edge of the bed staring at him for a while.

The young man was lying on his side, revealing a small half of his face with a ruddy complexion. His long eyelashes were like two small fans, casting a faint shadow under his eyelids, and the corners of his bright red lips were slightly curved under his straight nose bridge.

With a heartbeat, Chang Sheng stretched out his hand to caress his cheek lovingly.

Maybe the young man was too sensitive, or maybe the calluses on his hands were too prickly, the crow-feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and a slit was opened in the eyelids.

The sleepy boy muttered, "Chang Sheng..."

Chang Sheng lowered his head and kissed the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Breakfast is ready. I made your favorite steamed buns and cooked shrimp porridge. After waking up, wash up and go to the kitchen for breakfast. I'll go to the field first."

Bai Tutu's mind was in a muddle, and he didn't hear what he was saying at all. It was just that he was stared at by the man with such gentle eyes, and he subconsciously accepted it.

Rubbing his hair and letting him continue to sleep, Chang Sheng got up and took the farm tools and went out.

At this time, the sun rises, the fog gradually dissipates, the whole world becomes brighter, and the field of vision becomes wider.

Chang Sheng, riding on the back of a big black horse, looked around the fields and found that the paddy fields of the villagers were full of green seedlings, and only his own paddy field was empty.

Getting off the horse, he patted his big black head and let it graze aside. Chang Sheng fell into deep thought as he looked at the paddy field with the blue sky and white clouds reflected on the surface of his own several acres soaked in water like a mirror.

He didn't expect the villagers to help him harvest the rice, and even fix the land for him...

"Very big!"

A rough voice sounded, Angkor Er and the silly-faced fellow came over carrying the burden.

They were all peasants who were accustomed to work, and they put down their burdens without delay, rolled up their trouser legs and went to the field immediately.

Angkor took out the bundles of rice seedlings and scattered them: "You came back late, and most of the rice seedlings left by everyone were used to feed the cows. These are the rice seedlings left by Aunt Li, the second uncle, and Uncle Chang. It's not a particularly good variety, but it's too late to raise seedlings now, so you can make do with it for a season, and next year you can use your millet as a seed to raise some good seedlings."

Hearing a title he hadn't heard for a long time, Chang Sheng was taken aback before realizing who Uncle Chang was.

Uncle Chang Youde, the father of the original owner of his body.

Seeing that he was silent, Angkor explained: "Don't mind, most of these seedlings belong to their family. Changwen Mansion failed the exam and failed to be a scholar. After returning to the village, he was depressed and spent the whole day in a daze. Xiu'er is married, and Uncle Chang's legs and feet are not good, so the burden of the autumn harvest falls on Chang Wu. After the autumn harvest, he has to plant late rice. Chang Wu is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, but Chang Wen has nothing to do. He blames Chang Wu It was delicious and lazy, but his mother preferred Chang Wen and scolded him for not being considerate of his brothers, so Chang Wu quit in a fit of rage. It was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and their paddy field seedlings hadn't been planted yet, so I thought they still had a lot of seedlings, so I found it."

Knowing that Chang Sheng didn't want to have anything to do with that family, Angkor added: "Don't worry, these seedlings are not for nothing, they were exchanged for money."

Chang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you Angkor Er, I will pay you back the money spent on buying rice seedlings later."

Angkor didn't delay: "Okay, let's finish planting the seedlings first."

Just do what you say, divide the seedlings, and a few people bend down to plant the seedlings neatly.

"Chang Da, where did you buy the grain seeds before? How come the rice you grow is so good?" the simple-faced man asked curiously.

The rest of the people also echoed: "Yes, Changda! Your rice yield per mu is half that of others!" When I came to help harvest the rice, I saw the yellow and heavy ears of rice fluttering in the wind like waves. Swaying, they were all taken aback, and when they weighed the millet after harvesting, everyone was shocked!

The old people in the village also said that they have never seen such a high yield!

Chang Sheng didn't change his face: "Just go to the seed shop in the city to buy ordinary grain seeds, there is no difference." The grain seeds are the same, the difference is that he has young people secretly helping him.

Hearing this, several people were a little sorry, but they knew that he could not lie, so they stopped asking.

When Bai Tutu went down to the field, the sun had already moved overhead. Although the sun in autumn was not as harsh as in summer, after working in the field for a long time, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and back.

Bai Tutu's eyes swept over several people, and finally fell on the man in the navy blue gown. His eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Chang Sheng—"

As soon as Chang Sheng raised his head, he met a pair of clear eyes.A young man in white clothes with exquisite eyebrows and eyes was standing on the ridge of the field and looking at him with a smile.

"Young Master Bai?" The rest of the people also raised their heads.

Inserting the last seedling in his hand, Chang Sheng patted the mud on his hands and went ashore.

"Had breakfast?"

Bai Tutu nodded obediently: "I ate it."

Looking at his slightly flushed face, Chang Sheng frowned and said, "Why don't you wear a bamboo hat?"

Bai Tutu smiled embarrassedly: "I forgot."

"Dry it here, wait under the tree, there is still an acre of land."

Bai Tutu smiled slightly at the few people who stretched their necks to look at him: "Why are they here?"

"Help me." He could do it alone, but he couldn't refuse the kindness of the villagers. Most importantly, he found that the attitude of the villagers was much friendlier to him when he came back this time.He didn't care what others thought of him, but Bai Tutu wanted to be with him, and he didn't want the boy to be slandered by the villagers.

"Oh." Bai Tutu understood, "Then do you still want me to go down and help?"

Chang Sheng frowned and looked at him with heavy eyes.

Bai Tutu blinked and touched his cheek: "Didn't I wash my face?"

The boy's eyes were clear, and he couldn't understand his own mood at all.Chang Sheng said seriously: "Don't go down, I don't like them staring at you."

The villagers didn't have any malicious intentions, but he couldn't help but care.

Bai Tutu was taken aback.

This is the first time a man has expressed his likes and dislikes so bluntly, or is it because he made him feel this way...

Bits of sweetness overflowed from his heart, Bai Tutu lowered his eyes: "Got it."

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Chang Sheng again, those pure black eyes were as clear as soaked in water, filled with joy.

The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, Bai Tutu took a step forward, stood on tiptoe, and pulled his sleeves to wipe the sweat off his face.

Chang Sheng didn't shy away from it, and looked into his eyes deeply: "I want to invite them to my house for lunch."

Thinking that Chang Sheng wanted to thank them for their help in planting rice seedlings, Bai Tutu said, "Yes."

The two acted intimately, and the silly-faced man underneath said with emotion: "Chang Da and Mr. Bai have such a good relationship!"

The eyes of the two unmarried young men were also full of envy: "If Mr. Bai is a woman, there is no such thing as Miss Li."

Speaking of this, several people felt very sympathetic to Chang Sheng.

At the beginning, Miss Li's family was fighting to marry Chang Sheng, but she turned around and married Mr. Xiucai. Although Mr. Xiucai and Miss Li's family had already explained that all this was a misunderstanding, Chang Sheng was still accused of being an idiot. □□I want to eat swan meat.Obviously Chang Sheng didn't do anything, and was attacked by various rumors.They thought Chang Sheng was stimulated to run up the mountain!

"That's right, Young Master Xiaobai is much more kind-hearted than Miss Li."

"Okay, don't say this again in the future." Angkor reminded.

The other party is already a scholar's wife, and they ordinary people can't afford to mess with her.

The expressions of the two boys changed slightly, and they remained silent.

There are many people and strength, and around noon, Changsheng's several acres of paddy fields are filled with seedlings.

Going to scoop water from the ditch to wash his hands and feet, Chang Sheng said to Angkor and the others: "If you don't mind, come to my house for a light meal."

Several people feel incredible when they look at me and you.

Chang Da, who has always been ruthless, invited them to dinner. The sun didn't come out from the west today!

But you can still see beauties if you have food, whoever doesn't go is stupid!

The two guys hurriedly said: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it!"

The silly-faced man scratched his head and smirked: "This is so embarrassing, you don't have to be polite to the folks from the village..."

Chang Sheng smiled: "It should."

Having said that, the few of them went to Chang Sheng's house together.Chang Sheng rode on Dahei and Bai Tutu and took a step ahead.

An eleven or twelve-year-old dark-skinned boy stood at the gate of Chang Sheng's house and looked around, with a mountain of sacks piled behind him.

Seeing the black steed galloping towards him, the boy stared at Dahei with his mouth open and eyes full of admiration.

Chang Sheng knew the boy, he was the eldest grandson of the village chief.

Tightening the reins and making Dahei stop, Chang Sheng dismounted: "The village chief is looking for me?"

The boy shook his head: "Grandpa asked my father and uncle to send your millet back. You are not at home, so I will guard it here."

"Thank you very much."

The boy looked at Dahei excitedly: "Can I touch it?"

Dahei gave him a haughty look, and breathed out.

"Okay, you touch it." Bai Tutu patted Dahei with a smile, and Dahei rubbed his cheek, and slowly calmed down.

The boy trotted over immediately, stretched out his hand to touch Dahei cautiously, did not see Dahei going crazy, so he boldly stroked his mane, and let out a cry of surprise while touching.

Chang Sheng handed the reins to Bai Tutu, and said, "I'll go home first and start a fire to cook."

"Well. I'll help you later!"

A few people from Angkor went to Chang Sheng's house, saw the sack at the door, and offered to help carry the millet into the house and put it away.

"Chang Sheng, this house is too old. If you are independent, the village should have allocated a piece of land for you. If you build a new house, you will be able to find a wife in the future." Angkor suggested.

Chang Sheng had actually considered this matter.It doesn't matter where he lives alone, the main reason is that he doesn't want to wrong Bai Tutu, but it will take at least a few months to build a better house, and he is afraid that Bai Tutu won't be able to wait, so he wants to build a house after getting married.

Now that Erkor Angkor mentioned it, he told the truth: "I want to build a house with blue bricks and tiles."

Angkor was surprised: "The blue bricks are not cheap."

"Tutu lives with me, and I want to make the house better."

This sounded weird, Angkor didn't think about it, but said: "I know a master mason with good craftsmanship. When do you want to build a house, let me know."

"Okay." Angkor was invited to sit in the courtyard for a while, and Chang Sheng went into the kitchen to continue cooking.

"Young Master Bai, is there anything I can help you with?"

A square table was set up in the yard, and a few people sat on the long bench to watch Chang Sheng busy by himself, feeling a little embarrassed.

"No need, just drink a glass of water, and dinner will be ready soon." Bai Tutu led Dahei to the stable, sprinkled a handful of beans on it, and went into the kitchen to help.

Changsheng rice is already cooked in the morning, and the braised pork is simmering on the stove. It will be soft and delicious, and it can be eaten right out of the pot.For the rest, you only need to cook the chicken, make a soup, and stir-fry two dishes. Bai Tutu doesn't need to help.

Chang Sheng said to Bai Tutu: "Tutu, take out the bowl and put it on."

"it is good."

After a while, the bacon and green beans were ready, Chang Sheng said, "Tutu, serve the rice out."

"Ah."

Holding the neck of the chicken with chopsticks, he lifted the chicken out of the pot and let it cool in a basin. Chang Sheng said again: "Tutu, give me two pieces of garlic."

……

Seeing Bai Tutu rushing in and out like a little daughter-in-law, the simple-faced man couldn't sit still: "Young Master Bai, just call us to do these rough jobs!"

Bai Tutu didn't take it seriously: "I'm the host, and you are the guest, how can you let the guest do it?"

Seeing a few people fidgeting, Bai Tutu comforted him, "Thanks to your help in harvesting the millet in our family, this meal is our thank you, so you're welcome. Chang Sheng's cooking is delicious, so feel free to eat it."

Hearing this, several people became even more uneasy, and the simple-faced man looked awkward: "Master Bai, in fact, it was Chang San who asked to help harvest the rice."

Chang San?That gloomy young man with a small heart and selfishness?Bai Tutu couldn't believe it.

Angkor said: "It's him. He was the one who found out that Chang Sheng was not at home for several days, and he was the one who proposed to go up the mountain to find Chang Sheng."

"He still has a conscience, and Chang Sheng is worthy of saving him." Bai Tutu snorted, and went into the kitchen to bring out the white chopped chicken.

The two boys looked at his back and said in a low voice: "Master Xiaobai is really virtuous, if only he was a girl."

The simple-faced man sighed: "If Mr. Bai is a woman, it's not something I can think of."

The two boys imagined themselves standing beside Bai Tutu, and the situation was simply horrible.

In the kitchen, Chang Sheng was pouring chicken soup into the basin, when Bai Tutu reached out to pick it up, Chang Sheng hurriedly stopped him: "It's too hot, I'll do it."

Bai Tutu withdrew his hand, followed behind him, and took out the rest of the dishes.

The two served the food one on the left and the other on the right. The man was tall and stern, and the young man was charming and bright. Standing together, the two of them were perfectly right.

Several people looked at Chang Sheng and Bai Tutu, and Qi Qi had the illusion that Chang Sheng and Bai Tutu were entertaining them together.

"Dinner is ready!" Bai Tutu greeted everyone with a smile, full of joy.

He loves the feeling of entertaining guests with Chang Sheng so much!
