paddock

Zhang Xiuyan's gaze was deep and far-reaching, with a turbulent undercurrent surging.Yuan Ning felt like a cub stepping into a swamp, one step forward would sink deeply into it.He was still too young to control such emotions well, so he couldn't help but froze in place, staring blankly at Zhang Xiuyan's handsome and tough face.

Ms. Xue didn't notice the undercurrent when they looked at each other. She suppressed her smile and frowned slightly: "Xiu Yan, aren't you going to start a new subject with the professor tomorrow?" Zhang Xiuyan is well aware of the course progress.Ms. Xue stepped forward to help Zhang Xiuyan straighten the messy collar of Zhang Xiuyan who left too hastily, "Why are you back at this time?"

"Nothing." Zhang Xiuyan said, "Just come back and take a look."

Zhang Xiuyan never mentioned the worries in his heart, but Ms. Xue understood Zhang Xiuyan's worries: "Xiuyan, don't worry, nothing will happen at home."

Zhang Xiuyan nodded: "I'll go back to school after I have a meal."

There was a smile on Ms. Xue's face again: "Then just take the biscuits that Ningning made for you. Ningning misses you the most, and all he learns are your favorite flavors. Last time you ate two more Salty biscuits, Ning Ning has always remembered them, and I will learn them immediately today." She took the biscuits out of the oven as she spoke, and the faint smell of cheese wafted to her nose. Crispy, salty and crunchy.

Zhang Xiuyan raised his eyes and saw that half of the biscuits had been squeezed into the shape of a little yellow duck. It was not big, but very fragrant, and one could be eaten in one bite.Zhang Xiuyan stretched out his hand to pick up a little yellow duck, but Yuan Ning stopped him and said seriously: "Brother, you just came back from outside, you didn't wash your hands, your hands are dirty!"

Ms. Xue couldn't stop laughing.Yuan Ning, who can be so serious and strict in "education" at home, is probably the only one who is timid and bold.

Zhang Xiuyan went to wash his hands expressionlessly, and took off the towel to dry his hands.As soon as he turned around, Yuan Ning brought a piece of yellow duck to his mouth.Yuan Ning's eyes sparkled, and he praised earnestly: "This is a reward for being obedient and washing your hands!"

Zhang Xiuyan stared at the little yellow duck in front of his mouth for a while, opened his mouth and bit the crispy little yellow duck into his mouth, and crushed it with a click.The biscuits are crispy, salty and delicious, not greasy at all.

Yuan Ning withdrew his hand, lowered his eyes slightly, and took a little yellow duck himself, put it in his mouth and bit it, letting the crispy taste penetrate into every taste bud.He still wants to get close to his eldest brother, but he can no longer hug or kiss his eldest brother. He has grown up and can no longer be so clingy.

You shouldn't be like that when you grow up, otherwise...

Just as Yuan Ning was thinking, Zhang Xiuming and the others had already smelled the fragrance, and they squeezed into the kitchen one by two.Seeing the biscuits on the plate, Zhang Xiuming yelled, "Little yellow duck! So cute! When I was a child, I liked taking it to the bath! Ningning, you guys actually hid in the kitchen and ate it first! If we don't come in, you will eat it by yourself." Eat up the little yellow duck, right?"

"No!" Yuan Ning blushed and denied, "I know fourth brother, you also like little yellow ducks, and you have done a lot of them!"

"Ningning, do you also like little yellow ducks?" Zhang Xiuming's eyes lit up, feeling like he found a confidant!

"I like it too." Although he never took the little yellow duck to take a bath.Yuan Ning added, "Brother likes it too."

Zhang Xiuyan: "..."

Zhang Xiuyan knew why Yuan Ning had such a misunderstanding.At the beginning, he took Yuan Ning to learn swimming at Luan Jia's house, and bought Yuan Ning a little yellow duck swimming trunks, a little yellow duck swim towel, and a little yellow duck swimming ring——since then, Yuan Ning firmly believed that he liked the little yellow duck , it's just that I can't like it anymore when I get older.The fact is that it was only because he was not familiar with Yuan Ning, the "new younger brother" at that time, and subconsciously felt that Yuan Ning, whom Zhang Xiuming liked, should also like Yuan Ning.

Zhang Xiuyan stared at the neat little yellow ducks on the plate.

Oddly, he seemed to actually find them cute now.

After dinner, Zhang Xiuyan was ready to go.Yuan Ning sent Zhang Xiuyan to the door, stood in front of the door and stopped following Zhang Xiuyan.He said: "Brother, don't worry, Mom and the others will be fine. You can go to class with peace of mind, and I will watch at home!" Yuan Ning's face was still a little childish, but his eyes were very firm, and his eyes were full of seriousness.

Zhang Xiuyan moved his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.When he came back, he was most worried about Yuan Ning.He was worried that Ms. Xue would get sick again, and worried that Ms. Xue would hurt Yuan Ning with sharp words like a knife's edge, just like she hurt him and Zhang Xiuwen.

He was worried that he would stammer even if he couldn't bear to say a serious word, and he would be hurt when he didn't know it.

There is no need to mention this feeling to Yuan Ning.Zhang Xiuyan let out a "hmm", turned around and got into the car.After sitting down in the car, Zhang Xiuyan looked at Yuan Ning outside the car for a while, and seeing Yuan Ning standing there motionless, he had no intention of stepping forward to give him a goodbye kiss, so he couldn't help but waved to Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning was taken aback, and ran over: "Brother?"

Zhang Xiuyan said: "I'm going back to school." After speaking, he looked at Yuan Ning fixedly, meaning "You seem to have forgotten something".

The wind gently blew Zhang Xiuyan's bangs, revealing Zhang Xiuyan's flat and beautiful eyebrows.Yuan Ning's heart was pounding, and Zhang Xiuyan's gaze was like a flame, burning his whole heart.

The elder brother is so good, so good that he wants to occupy the position next to the elder brother all the time.Eldest Brother must not know that he has such thoughts, otherwise Eldest Brother would not avoid him far away——Elder Brother has been a person with plans and goals since he was a child, and Eldest Brother has a complete life plan, and Eldest Brother said that he will always be his Brother, even if they are both married, it will not change.

The eldest brother has been so kind to him, but he still greedily wants more - he even gave birth to the terrible idea of ​​"if men can be with men, eldest brother doesn't have to marry others".

Yuan Ning stepped forward and kissed Zhang Xiuyan lightly between his eyebrows.It was obviously a shallow kiss that was about to leave, but Yuan Ning felt that his lips were scalded, making his whole face turn red and turn white.Fortunately, it was already dark, and the street lights were orange, so no one would see it as weird.

"Goodbye, big brother." Yuan Ning said.

At noon the next day, Yuan Ning received a call from Luo Yuanliang, saying that a visitor from the capital had come, which was strange, and that he wanted to see the pickled fruits in the bungalow.The other party said he knew him, his surname was Lian, and he was sitting in the living room now.Yuan Ning was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew who it was: he was from the capital, his surname was Lian, and it could only be Mr. Lian!

Yuan Ning's heart tightened, and he vaguely felt that those fruits had attracted Mr. Lian.He hesitated for a moment, and slowly calmed down: "I know him, can you give him the phone for me?"

"You should still remember me." Mr. Lian's voice came from the other side, "You planted the flowers very well, and the flowers are very happy to know."

Yuan Ning's heart skipped a beat at Mr. Lian's words.Mr. Lian said that the flowers are very happy, can Mr. Lian also hear the flowers talking?Does Mr. Lian really have a spiritual spring?Yuan Ning did not speak hastily.The pickled fruit leaked the stuffing, did the flowers reveal the stuffing?

He really wasn't thorough enough!Yuan Ning was annoyed in her heart, but said in her mouth: "I made an agreement with Grandpa Lin from the gardening shop. I left the phone number of the gardening shop. If the flowers get sick or start to wither, the gardening shop will send someone to the recycling point for recycling."

"It seems that you have cooperated with the gardening shop." Mr. Lian said

Yuan Ning responded with a "huh", and after the flower market was over, someone from the gardening shop contacted him, saying that he hoped that the two sides could cooperate, that is, let the ranch provide flower sources for the gardening shop all year round.Yuan Ning had a good impression of the gardening shop's recycling model, and after a few contacts, he asked Luo Yuanliang to sign a contract with the gardening shop.

After Yuan Ning finished talking about the situation of the gardening shop, Mr. Lian boasted: "You have found a good partner." He paused, "I wonder if you are interested in cooperating with me?"

Yuan Ning frowned.

"The ingredients you provide, I don't ask the source, they are all used in Shuiyunjian. The finished products you have processed - such as the fruit you are pickling, can also be consigned and sold in Shuiyunjian. [-]% to [-]%, you eight and I two. If you are interested, I will come to you this evening with the contract."

Yuan Ning fell silent.He understood that Mr. Lian did know about the existence of Lingquan and wanted to help him.After a while, Yuan Ning said, "I want to see you first." Without knowing why Mr. Lian wanted to help her, Yuan Ning couldn't make a decision.

"Okay." Mr. Lian agreed.

In the evening, Yuan Ning didn't go home, so he called Aunt Shen and went to the agreed place with Driver Li.Mr. Lian was already waiting there. It was different from meeting him on the farm. Mr. Lian was wearing a neat suit, which was a little less cold and more human. He looked like a successful man. Elite people.

Driver Li glanced at it from a distance, felt relieved, and waited for Yuan Ning at another location.Mr. Lian led Yuan Ning into the box, took out the draft contract and handed it to Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning took the contract and did not look through it immediately, but looked up at Mr. Lian with obvious doubts in his eyes.

Mr. Lian said: "If you have any questions, you can ask them directly."

Yuan Ning hesitated for a while, looked up at Mr. Lian, and asked, "Why did you help me?"

Mr. Lian also stared at Yuan Ning.This child is still so young. From what he knows, this child still has a poor life experience, and he was not born to Zhang's family.

Why help this kid?

Mr. Lian sighed, and said slowly: "Have you heard of the 'Keeper of the Spring'?"
