末世 二三 事

When Jing Lin returned home with the fish in the iron basin, Yan Fei was already there.

Ever since he moved to live with Jing Lin, Jing Lin gave him a key to his house.Later, Yan Fei brought over half a bag of rice. If Jing Lin didn't come to Zhao's house for dinner, he usually ate with them at Jing Lin's house, and he also took a bath. Live like a family.

Yan Fei had just taken a shower, and his hair was wet.Seeing Jing Lin coming in, she went to help him put down his things, and said, "Go take a shower, the water will get cold later."

As for boiling the bath water, whoever has the time can do it.Whoever cooks the rice washes the dishes, and the cleaning is also done in turns.

"Okay." Jing Lin responded, and then found a relatively large basin at home, filled it with water and put the fish in it, and said to Yan Fei, "Let's raise them first, and you can bring five back tomorrow."

"Where did you come from?" Yan Fei was at his home at the time, so he didn't know that Jing Lin and Zhao Zhiwen had gone to the lotus pond.

"Given by the mullet." Jing Lin said briefly, and then took a change of clothes to take a bath with water.

As for Lele's bathing, he was afraid that he would catch a cold and get sick, so he usually bathed him once every two days. Lele used to wash at Zhao's house when he was busy, and Zhou Yu would boil water for him to bathe when it was warm every day.

After taking a shower, Jing Lin went to the kitchen to look at the materials that he had already had for tomorrow, and then went to the room where he bought the goods and stored the goods. He had a clue about the menu for tomorrow night.

He took out a few pieces of dried kelp and cut them into small pieces with scissors and soaked them in the water. He also took half a catty of glutinous rice and ran up to prepare for tomorrow.

Back in the living room, Yan Fei was still sitting on the sofa and telling Lele a story.After watching no cartoons, Lele especially likes to listen to other people's stories. Jing Lin has to practice every night, but it only starts after Lele falls asleep. Before Lele goes to bed, the three of them usually have Stay in the living room for a while, and then Yan Fei likes to tell stories to Lele, since he moved in, he hasn't missed a day, a small story every day, and the content is not repeated.Jing Lin wondered if he had heard these things when he was young, and Yan Fei laughed and said he made them up.

Jing Lin walked over and sat by the side to listen for a while, and after Lele yawned, he said goodnight to Yan Fei, and took Lele back to his room to sleep.

Nothing in the night

The next day Jing Lin got up earlier than usual, Yan Fei got up around the same time as him, and went back early with the fish in hand.

Although the world is not good now, everyone still does not want to lose the custom of offering sacrifices to relatives during the Chinese New Year.There was no incense paper money at home, so Jing Lin took a few catties of rice to the small shop in the village.

The small shop was opened by the family of the wealthy uncle in the village. It usually sells some commonly used daily necessities, snacks that children like, cigarettes and alcohol that adults like, and sacrifices.When Jing Lin arrived, several people were standing inside with plastic bags filled with scented wax and Mingbi fire paper.These things can't be eaten, and they still take up a lot of space, so they can be used during Qingming and Spring Festival. Two catties of rice can be exchanged for a large bag, which is a good deal for both parties.

In addition to these, Jing Lin also changed a few pairs of Spring Festival couplets.When I was walking, I saw the spark sticks put out, thought of Lele, and changed some back.

Back home, while cooking breakfast, Jing Lin set up another pot, cut a piece of pork belly to make knife head meat, and cooked it with the big rooster.Throw a few pieces of wood into it, and you don't need to be watched all the time.

At this time, Lele had already woken up, and the little guy knew that it was the New Year's day, so he didn't sleep too late, so he half-closed his eyes and walked into the bathroom.

Jing Lin patted his head: "I'll help uncle with the ladder later."

"Okay, uncle."

The bamboo ladder at Jing Lin's house was broken, so I had to borrow one from Zhao Zhiwen's house. When we arrived, the family was putting up couplets, and there were a pair of red lanterns on the ground.

Zhao Zhiwen was standing on the ladder, both sides were pasted up, and he was pasting up the banners.

Last year, after he and Lele were left in Jinglin's house, Zhou Yu also asked Jinglin to bring Lele to celebrate the New Year with them, and this year too, but Jinglin refused.

Seeing that Jinglin was approaching, Zhou Yu asked Zhao Chenghuai to help him up the ladder, "Ah Lin is here. I just bought you a plate of tofu. I don't have to make a special trip when you come."

"Where do you get the tofu?" Jing Lin asked. People in the village usually buy tofu and dried tofu, and the tofu dealers who went to the countryside have long since stopped coming.

Zhou Yu said: "Auntie Hua makes it. Two catties of soybeans are exchanged for one catty of tofu, which is better than those sold outside."

Jing Lin thought for a while, and then said: "I seem to have drank the bean curd made by her when I was young." The Aunt Hua that Zhou Yu talked about was from a family near the processing station. , is now over 60 years old.

Zhou Yu turned around and went into the room. After a while, he came out holding a simple square bamboo tray with white gauze on it, and a piece of white and tender tofu was placed on the gauze.Jing Lin held it in his hand and looked at it. There was not much water on the gauze, which showed that the tofu was quite heavy.

After Zhao Zhiwen posted the couplets, he began to hang the lanterns.In the past few years, life has been good. Every family has bought red lanterns to hang back, and some even bought colorful lanterns to put down from the second floor of their homes. During the Chinese New Year, there is a flash of lightning every night, and they are replaced before the Chinese New Year. After the Lantern Festival Take it off again and continue next year.There is no electricity this year, so hang up red lanterns to welcome the scene.

The ladder didn't weigh much. After Zhao Zhiwen finished using it, Jing Lin didn't ask for help, and went back with the tofu in one hand and the ladder in the other.

When climbing up the ladder, Yaya watched Lele press her feet hard against the ladder, and she also learned to stretch out her feet. As a result, her foot hooks were too sharp, and she heard a "click" when she pushed hard, and the foot hooks stabbed. After entering the ladder, the bottom part of the ladder was cracked. Lele was startled: "Duck duck, you stepped on the ladder!"

Yaya pulled out the foot hook, flapped its wings, and walked away two steps in embarrassment.

"Your toenails are too long, do you want to cut some off?" Lele's face was serious, because he found out that every morning and evening when his uncle was meditating, the duck would jump on the bed and squat next to his uncle to sleep, even though it was very careful , but Lele once found that when Yaya jumped out of bed, the bed sheet was hooked and torn.As my uncle told him before, if Lele didn't cut her toenails often, there would be eyes on the front of her socks.

"Gah!" Cutting toenails?Yaya said that he didn't want this one, and walked to Lele's side, tilted his neck and rubbed his face flatteringly.

"Ducky, you've grown taller again!" Lele is still very happy about the closeness of her little friend, but she also has a little trouble in her heart. The little friend has grown up too fast, and she is almost as tall as him. If this continues , will surpass him soon, why is he growing so slowly?

Yaya stretched its long neck to compare with Lele, and then yelled twice proudly.

Jing Lin, who climbed down from the ladder, saw the entire interaction between the two of them in his eyes. With a smile in his eyes, he comforted Lele: "You will grow as tall as uncle in the future. Don't be discouraged. Yaya will be as tall as you are when the time comes." Can't compare to you."

Now Lele is proud of Yaya: "Uncle said that I will be taller than you in the future!"

The duck yelled resentfully, well, it has a premonition that no matter how long it grows, it will not be as tall as the big master.

Jing Lin shook his head and smiled, this Spring Festival, which was even more deserted than in previous years, seemed to be lively with two little guys chattering beside him.

After dropping the ladder, Jing Lin went home and let Lele and Yaya play in the backyard, and he started to pack the fish he needed.

The water was not changed all night, and the fish that were taken out were still alive and kicking. Jing Lin took a look and found that they were all silver carp.They celebrate the New Year here, and everyone not only wants to eat fish, but also pays attention to crucian carp and carp.However, this year crucian carp and carp are gone. It is better to replace it with silver carp than nothing.

Jing Lin fished two smaller ones, removed the fish scales, dug out the fish belly and dug out the fish gills, fried them in oil for a while, and then put them on a big plate. When I go to worship later, I will have them with the big rooster. Pork belly is used as a sacrifice together.

The firewood in the stove is high, and after the water is boiled, the big rooster will be cooked after about half an hour.Put the meat on a plate, the big rooster was barely packed in a small soup basin, and put it in a bamboo basket with two fish. There was no fresh fruit at home, so Jing Lin unpacked a pack of dried fruit and put it on a plate instead, and then took out a bottle Wine and cups, the sacrifice is ready.

After locking the door, Jing Lin took Lele to the grave slope.Lele volunteered to carry the waxed paper money. It was okay at first, but he couldn’t carry it after walking for a while, and he was too embarrassed to tell his uncle that when Yaya saw him, he bent his neck and dropped the bag. Snatched it from his hand and picked it up, then followed beside Jing Lin and the two in a pompous manner, swinging his white and fat buttocks.

On the way, I met some people who came back from worship, and it was interesting to watch ducks and ducks.

Because the tombs in the village are concentrated on the slopes of the tombs, and everyone chooses to worship in the morning, there are many people worshiping.Yan Fei's family was among them.

Relatives of their family invited memorial tablets outside, and usually did not come back to their hometown during the Qingming Festival.When Jing Lin arrived at the right time, he saw Yan Fei brother and sister from a distance burning fire paper in front of the grave.

Jing Lin put the tray down in front of the grave of the deceased family member, and then brought out a stack of fire paper and Ming coins to Lele, "Help uncle tear out the fire paper."

Lele squatted on the spot and tore out the fire paper one by one. Ya Ya also helped with her mouth, but the quality of the fire paper was very poor and the taste was not good. Walking around, looking at Lele for a while, looking at others for a while, very busy.

Jing Lin talked to his grandfather for a while, about what happened in the past six months, about himself and Lele.She bowed her head, and Lele knelt down obediently.

Finally, when she paid homage to her sister and brother-in-law, Lele knew that it was her mother and father, so she couldn't help crying with red eyes, and buried her face on Jing Lin's waist.Jing Lin's mood also fell, and he stood there for a while with Lele in his arms before leaving.

This year's Spring Festival is too deserted, because they are afraid of disturbing the animals and plants in the mountains, the villagers at most changed some spark sticks in their hands like Jing Lin, no one changed the firecrackers, and no one changed the fireworks, the surrounding was very quiet , Not even a sound of firecrackers was heard nearby.

Back home, Jing Lin worshiped the Dragon King by his well, and invited the Stove King who was supposed to be invited on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month in the kitchen.

After a simple lunch at noon, Jing Lin began to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Although winter comes suddenly, the coldness is not much different from previous years. It will freeze in the morning, but it will melt at noon. Without a refrigerator, if the meat is not processed, it will not be stored for a few days.

Jing Lin divided the big cock into three portions, one for stewed chicken soup, one for cold dressing, and one for croquettes.

Seeing that there were too many tofu, Jing Lin took out half of the tofu, chopped some pork lean meat, made balls and fried them in a frying pan.

One afternoon, Jing Lin was busy in the kitchen, and Lele wandered around him. When Jing Lin was frying the meatballs, he was watching the pot beside him. Jing Lin filled half a bowl with a small bowl and handed it to him. He eats more, afraid that he will not be able to eat dinner at night when he is full now.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Lele held the bowl and laughed so hard that his dimples came out, and then ran out and squatted beside the vegetable field. He ate one, fed the duck one, and finished eating in a while.He was also very obedient and didn't ask for it anymore. He put down the bowl and went to play with Yaya again.

By mid-afternoon, everything that needed to be fried had been fried, and all the ingredients for cooking had been prepared. Jing Linmen then served white rice and began to prepare dinner.

In the evening, Jinglin prepared eight dishes and one soup, steamed dried shrimp, braised fish, roasted rooster, steamed meat with rice noodles, fat pot meat, pearl balls, mapo tofu, cold shredded chicken. Zhou Yu gave him a lot of dried mutated pumpkin seeds. Every time he stewed the soup, Jinglin would peel a dozen of them and put them in, as well as a few plates of deep-fried meatballs.

With so many dishes, Jing Lin and Lele alone can't finish them in three days, but he doesn't worry, there is a big stomach king duck at home, so there is no problem of endless waste.

When it was getting dark, Jing Lin moved the large detachable table at home to the living room. The food was served on the table. Gua Gua, who was not used to staying at home, also came back. The geese, all sitting at the table, picked up their chopsticks and started to move.

Of course, the duck can’t lift the chopsticks without hands. It stands on the chair. Because of its big appetite, the original bowl has been changed into a relatively large soup bowl, which contains more than half of the bowl of rice, and a lot of rice on the other side. If it tastes something particularly delicious, it will call out to Lele, and then Lele will take it for him with a spoon.

Many people in the village have seen Yaya's fighting power. Although they are envious of Jing Lin's family, if they know about Yaya's appetite, they will not think so. They are all just feeding leftovers, like ducks and ducks that have a bigger appetite than an adult, even if you give ducks to them, they will not be willing to take them.

Jing Lin didn't have this idea, he couldn't accompany Lele every day, Yaya's appearance helped him a lot, with Yaya accompanying Lele, Lele was equivalent to having a friend, and his temper became stronger and stronger. It is becoming more and more lively, and it can protect Lele. Based on these two points, Jing Lin will not stop feeding the ducks because he loves the food.Before eating, Yaya still didn't serve the table. Since Yaya helped him fight that night, he felt that he couldn't simply treat Yaya as a mutant goose. He chose to treat it as his family, and Yaya has always loved hygiene. Even if it is on the table, the rice bowl is clean after eating, and the table is also clean.

As for Quack, it doesn't seem to be interested in what humans eat. It danced in the living room for a while and then went out again.

Jing Lin ate this meal for about two hours, and the food was cold after the meal. He and Lele stopped their chopsticks to watch the ducks eat.

When his stomach was not so full, Jing Lin put away the dishes and chopsticks to tidy up the kitchen, and washed off the oily smoke from cooking in the afternoon, and then he was going to go to the Zhao family with the spark sticks he changed during the day.

Before going out, Yan Fei opened the door and came in.

Because there is a custom here that outsiders are not allowed to disturb other people's homes during the New Year's Eve dinner, so even though Yan Fei finished his meal early, he stayed at home for more than an hour before coming over.

Looking at the spark stick in Jing Lin's hand, he knew that Jing Lin was going to go out.

"Wait for me." Yan Fei said, turned around and quickly entered his room, and then came out with a black scarf, which was the one he was knitting.

Yan Fei handed the scarf to Jing Lin, because it was the first scarf weaved, and the technique was not good, and the scarf was much uglier than the ones sold on the street before, so he said a little embarrassedly: "I thought that New Year's Day would be a New Year's day. I gave it to you as a gift, but I kept it because it was too abrupt at that time, and now that you know about it, I can give it to you in a fair manner."

Jing Lin always thought that Yan Fei knitted the scarf for himself, but he didn't expect it to be for him, which shows that Yan Fei had already had that kind of thought for him before then.He suddenly wondered when Yan Fei started to like him.

He also asked, "When did you treat me...?" Because Lele was by the side, Jing Lin realized half of the question, so he only spoke roughly.

But Yan Fei understood.

"It was love at first sight," he said.

Jing Lin's face was a little hot, he only remembered the first time he saw Yan Fei, because of his outstanding figure and appearance, he thought he was a bit like a model, but he didn't pay attention to Yan Fei's reaction when he saw him .

Yan Fei kept extending his hand, but Jing Lin took it after hesitating for a while.Then he handed the oil lamp and spark stick in his hand to Yan Fei: "Help me carry it."

After Yan Fei took it, Jing Lin put on the scarf.He didn't wear a scarf today, but was wearing a turtleneck sweater. After wearing the scarf, he felt even warmer.

"Let's go." Jing Lin didn't look at Yan Fei, pulled Lele and turned around to leave.

Yan Fei silently followed beside him with an oil lamp and spark sticks, but he was very happy in his heart.

In previous years, when everyone had dinner at this time, they all liked to set up fireworks and firecrackers in front of their houses. When they had enough, those who watched the Spring Festival Gala would enter the house.Because of keeping the year old, the lights in the house have to be on all night, so the village is full of bright lights.At this moment, the red lanterns are not powered on, and the villagers are so full of brains that every household has lit oil lamps and hung them under the eaves, which is quite different.

There was also a lamp hanging under the eaves of Zhao Zhiwen's house. When Jing Lin arrived, Yan Ruifeng, his wife and Yan Lu were already there. The Zhao family set up a small table under the lamp, with melon seeds and candies on it, and a plate of fried Zhou Yu. of pumpkin seeds.Everyone was talking around the table, with a brazier in the middle, and Ma Xiaoyuan and his sister next door were playing with spark sticks in the yard, shouting and excited.

Lele was so greedy, Jing Lin ordered one for Lele, told him to be careful, and then let him play with Ma Xiaoyuan and his brother, because it is the center of the village, and everyone likes to come here when it is a bit lively. The children made loud noises. After a while, other people came with their children. Ma Renshan and his family also came out. Ma Chunjian helped Sun Lili with her big belly.

Sun Lili's stomach is already seven months old, the Ma family took good care of her, and with the Spirit Gathering Formation arranged by Jinglin, Sun Lili looks very good.

Jing Lin helped move the stools out for these people to sit on, and a group of people got together and chatted.Because the people in the village have been working together on many things recently, and after chatting for a while, they became more intimate than before.

As we talked, someone talked about visiting relatives in the first lunar month.Except for Jinglin and the Zhao family in the village, most of the others have relatives in other villages. In previous years, many people could only stop from the second to the fifteenth day of junior high school.Ordinary relatives are fine, but at my mother's house, it's unreasonable for my own parents not to go back and have a look.But now the situation is special, it is not safe to go anywhere, and they dare not go out if there are fewer people.Moreover, it has been decided before that the fence will be built in the sixth village of the sixth day, and the time is very tight.

In the end, everyone can only sigh helplessly, and will not go back this year for the time being, and wait for the surrounding situation to be safer, and then find a chance to go back and have a look.

Sitting until late at night, everyone fell asleep. Although there was a night watch on New Year’s Eve, most people didn’t rest for several days. When they were busy before, they went to bed after dinner.And even though he was wearing thick clothes, the brazier had been turned off early, and if he sat down, he would get cold and sick.

Lele was already asleep, being hugged by Yan Fei.Jing Lin walked beside with a few catties of glutinous rice flour given by Zhou Yu, and he found that as long as he was with Yan Fei, Lele would be taken by him, and he looked more like an uncle than his real uncle.

When Jing Lin came home, he checked that the house was clean, so he did what his grandfather did before, and hid the broom so that he couldn't be seen on the first day.Yan Fei put Lele into the bedroom, and when he came out, he saw Jing Lin going out with a broom, and followed him, watching him go around in the backyard, and finally hid the broom in the utility room.

Today's young people rarely follow the old traditions, such as Yan Fei's family, brooms and so on. During the Chinese New Year, his mother has never seen him hiding, and many adults don't care.So when Jing Lin was looking for a place to hide the broom with a serious face, Yan Fei couldn't help thinking that after he and Jing Lin lived together, Jing Lin would hide the broom like this every year, and he felt happy .

There used to be chickens in the utility room, and they didn't taste very good.Later, when the chicken flock got bigger, the utility room couldn't be turned around, so Jing Lin built a chicken shed outside the fence where the firewood was kept at home, and raised all the chickens there.You don't need to go to the utility room to feed the chickens. Jinglin usually doesn't go to the utility room when you have nothing to do. It is really suitable to hide the broom in it.

Jing Lin came out of the utility room and saw Yan Fei leaning on the small door frame of the backyard, the tenderness and pampering in his eyes almost overflowed, he belatedly thought that his eyesight had improved again, so dark In such an environment, he could clearly see Yan Fei's emotions hidden in the night.

Yan Fei didn't realize that Jing Lin could clearly see the emotion in his eyes. Seeing that Jing Lin was standing still and couldn't come over, he stood up straight and wanted to walk towards him: "What are you doing standing there?"

"It's nothing." Jing Lin walked over and glanced at him again in a bright place, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Yan Fei said, "I haven't showered yet."

"The water in the two kettles is full, you can keep half of it for drinking." They are both used to bathing every day in winter. They don't sweat and are not dirty. Cold water is also sufficient.

"Then you go to bed first, I'll take a bath, good night."

"Good night."

This year, no one would set off firecrackers to welcome the New Year as soon as twelve o'clock came. Jing Lin had been meditating on the bed until midnight before opening his eyes.However, after he lay on the bed, Yan Fei's still affectionate eyes in the dark of night kept appearing in his mind.

He turned over and looked at Lele who was sleeping soundly beside him.Because of Zhao Zhiwen's several blind dates in the past, he also thought about what kind of wife he would find in the future.But no matter how good his assumption was, he finally waved it out of his mind.After Lele followed him, when he was at work, people who were older than him introduced him to girlfriends, but without exception, they all said that he had a nephew, and the conditions were not very good.Many girls may not mind at first, but when they have their own children, it is almost impossible not to mind.In Jing Lin's contacts, she has never met that kind of girl who doesn't mind at all.

Jing Lin also asked Lele, what if he found an aunt for Lele.Lele was surprised at the time, and then asked him if he still liked Lele when he had an aunt. Jing Lin said he liked it, but Lele was still uneasy. He was depressed for several days and talked less than before.So Jing Lin told him that he decided not to look for his aunt, and Lele slowly laughed again.

Jing Lin doesn't dislike Yan Fei.It should be said that he likes it a little bit, but he doesn't know whether this kind of like is between friends or lovers, because he finds that he always can't bear to refuse Yan Fei, as long as Yan Fei is depressed because of his rejection, he will follow suit. happy.

He became more and more concerned about Yan Fei's emotions.

He wanted to give him some more time. If Yan Fei didn't like others in the future, he could live with him for the rest of his life with Lele.

Jing Lin thought wildly like this, and slowly fell asleep.

The old tradition is to eat glutinous rice balls in the morning without going out on the first day of the new year.Jing Lin got up early in the morning to clean up the stone mortar, put the roasted peanuts in it yesterday, took out a packet of sesame seeds from a small bag, and mashed them with boiling water and glutinous rice flour.

When preparing to make glutinous rice balls, Yan Fei got up and came to help make glutinous rice balls after washing.

For the first two, Yan Fei couldn’t control the amount of stuffing, either the bag was too little or the bag was too much and it was broken, but as soon as he learned things quickly, the third one was wrapped quite well, pressing the fabric with both hands Roll, roll, a white and fat dumpling is ready.

"How many do you eat?" Jing Lin asked, the glutinous rice balls they made were as big as ping-pong balls.

"A little over ten. How about you?"

"So do I."

"Lele's small mouth can only eat three or four."

Jing Lin smiled: "That duck has a big appetite, it's not enough to feed it all here."

Thinking of King Yaya with a big stomach, Yan Fei also laughed, but the reason why he laughed was more because he found that Jing Lin's attitude towards him today was different from usual, and he didn't seem to feel awkward anymore. As close as ever.

Yan Fei said: "I used to eat small glutinous rice balls sold in supermarkets on the first day of junior high school. I could eat about twenty of those."

"Our family packs our own bags every year."

In the end, the two made 25 glutinous rice balls together. The fillings and glutinous rice flour were planned just right. Of course, this is why the duck and duck breakfast was not included.

The water is always boiling in the pot, and the wrapped glutinous rice balls can be put into the pot directly. While cooking, stir gently with a spoon until the glutinous rice balls are all floating, and then they are ready to eat.

In the morning, the three of them ate glutinous rice balls on the coffee table, and Lele gave Yaya a taste. After eating it, it said it was not tasty, so it concentrated on eating its own cabbage.

After dinner, Jing Lin went to look at the tomato as usual.

The two tomatoes began to bear fruit one after another. The first one was already the size of his fist. It grew so fast, it seemed that they liked the cold winter days, and the color changed from ordinary red to Yin Hong.

After reading it, Jing Lin got up, and within two steps, there was a thud behind him, and the tomato the size of a fist fell to the ground.

Jing Lin picked it up, pinched it, found it was still hard, and asked strangely, "Is this ripe?"

He went into the kitchen, took a porcelain plate and put it in, then made two gestures with the knife, and cut right in the middle.Although the shell is a bit hard, once the blade cuts a hole, the shell will split open, and then a trace of cold air that can be seen with the naked eye will come out, and Jing Lin senses that there is still a faint aura mixed with this cold air.

Jing Lin looked at the cold air, he didn't feel the slightest cold when holding it in his hand before.

Jing Lin stopped his hand, and then continued to press down on the knife, the touch became soft, and he cut to the end with almost no force.

Jing Lin raised his eyebrows as he looked at the steaming tomatoes that were cut in half on the plate.He brought the plate to the living room and asked Yan Fei who was playing with Lele to look at it.

The duck sitting on the sofa became restless, quacking, jumped off the sofa and went to Jing Lin's side to rub his thigh.

Jing Lin glanced at it, and seeing Yaya's movements, he knew that this thing should be edible.

"What is this?" Yan Fei asked.

"The tomato in the vegetable field should be ripe, and it fell into the field by itself."

"Is this a tomato?" Yan Fei was surprised, he picked up half of it and looked at it carefully, "I think it's more like ice cream just taken out of the refrigerator."

The original tomato should have only a thin layer of skin, under the skin is thick pulp, and inside is the seed with physalis.But for this mutated tomato, its skin looks like skin on the surface, but only when you actually cut it, you will find that although the skin is still there, the former pulp is gone, and it and the skin have become a shell. The placenta and seeds all turned into another substance, pale pink and steaming, looking like strawberry ice cream inside.

"There's still spiritual energy in it." Yan Fei said, opening his mouth and taking a bite.

Jing Lin looked at him nervously, "How is it?"

Yan Fei smacked his tongue twice, "It's very cold, it tastes sweet and sour, a bit like yogurt, and it also has a unique fragrance of plants." He took two more bites in a row and continued: "And, when swallowing, There is a very weak aura entering my body and flowing to various meridians."

In conclusion, it is edible, delicious, aura, and amazing.

Yan Fei ate the half in one go. This thing is a bit like a dragon fruit, the pulp is not sticky at all, and the pulp and shell can be separated very well.In the process of eating, although his mouth felt very cold, not only did he not feel cold after eating, but because of the aura that entered his body while eating, his body became warmer.At the end of the meal, there are still a few seeds buried in the middle.Jing Lin asked Yan Fei to spit it out and wrapped it in paper to see if it could be used as seeds to continue planting.

Jing Lin also picked up the remaining half to eat, Lele and Ya Ya were drooling beside, Jing Lin touched the two little heads: "I will give you the cooked ones in the future."

Jing Lin said: "If this thing is also available in summer, it will be a good thing to relieve fever."

Yan Fei thought for a while, and said, "I feel that this mutated tomato has very strict requirements on spiritual energy." They are both under the Spirit Gathering Formation, but because Jing Lin's two tomato plants were transplanted by Jing Lin very early, and arranged Gathering Spirit Formation, but even so, it took a long time to start to bear fruit.In the vegetable field in front of their house, Jing Lin set up the formation relatively late, and it was still the same as before.

Jing Lin also speculates that the night when the vegetation grew wildly, there should be a burst of aura, which caused the tomato to mutate and changed its growth habit.But in this way, it is only to let them bear buds overnight. As for the subsequent results, it also needs a lot of spiritual support.The aura in the spirit-gathering array is purer than that outside, so with the support of such aura, it finally came to fruition.What we need to see now is whether those tomatoes from Yan Fei's family will also bear fruit, and whether the ones that bear fruit are the same.

Jing Lin said: "This mutant tomato is delicious and has great benefits for the body. I can try to grow some more."

Together with Yan Fei, he pulled out the mutated lettuce that had been planted in the ground, loosened the ground, and planted a dozen or so new tomato seeds.Most of the spiritual energy in the Great Gathering Array in the village was snatched away by the big mullet, and a small part of the remaining half was divided by the small vegetable gardens of Zhao Yanjing and his three families, and the last small part was in the farmland of the village. The act is absorbing.

Thinking that these mutated tomatoes seem to be cold-loving, Jing Lin flipped through the book of formations, and finally found several formations that can create natural phenomena, one of which is an ice formation. Very cold, even freezing.

Now that he found it, Jing Lin didn't delay, and immediately drew a few Ice Array Talismans, and planted them around the newly planted mutated tomatoes.As for the two mutated tomatoes that were fruiting, he didn't move.

In the blink of an eye, he saw the peppers that had never grown, and Jing Lin's expression changed. He found the Red Flame Array in the next chapter of the Frost Array. Like a dead horse as a living horse doctor, he arranged the Red Flame Array for them. The two formations are completely opposite, one is extremely cold and the other is extremely hot.

After finishing these, Jing Lin counted several formations of other natural phenomena, such as hurricane formation, lightning and thunder formation, pouring rain formation, etc., uh... the formation's name is very easy to understand.

Afterwards, Jing Lin said that he was going to set up ice arrays for Yan Fei's tomato plants.So the two put on warm clothes and scarves, locked the door and went out.

Lele wore gloves and walked between the two of them, holding Jing Lin's hand on the left and Yan Fei's on the right. He swings.

Duck looked envious from behind, swinging on the swing was so fun, it wanted to play too.

When they arrived at Yan's house, Yan Lu wasn't there, she probably went to play with Zhao Zhiwen, and Yan Ruifeng and his wife were using rags to make a mop.

The first time Zhou Feifei saw Jing Lin, she saw the scarf around his neck. The crooked scarf was knitted by his son.

Jing Lin also put it on last night, but because it was dark and everyone was not sitting together, she didn't pay attention.At this moment, she gave Yan Fei a look that only you know and I know, Yan Fei coughed, and then Zhou Feifei greeted Jing Lin with her usual expression.

Ever since Yan Fei confessed his love, Jing Lin felt a little uncomfortable seeing the Yan family and his wife, but they didn't seem to know that Yan Fei had feelings for him, and their attitude didn't change from the beginning to the end. It's been so long , this uncomfortable feeling is much less.

After Jing Lin set up an ice array for the tomato, he and Yan Fei chatted with Yan Ruifeng and his wife for a while. At noon, Zhou Feifei stayed at Jinglin's house for dinner, but because there were still a lot of leftovers at home. So Jing Lin declined and took Lele back, while Yan Fei stayed behind, saying that he would come back after lunch for fighting training.

On the morning of the second day of junior high school, Yan Fei took Lele out for a tour of the village.And Jing Lin stayed at home to practice formations.

Although a fence will be built in the village, the security is only slightly guaranteed, and those who can climb over the wall can still come in easily.So Jing Lin wanted to set up a phantom formation at the entrance of the village against the inside of the fence, blurring the direction of the village entrance, so that even if those people climbed over the fence, they still couldn't get in.

As for the other mountains and forests, Jing Lin didn't think about setting them up. He believed that no one dared to go through the mountains and forests so boldly.

The two of Yan Fei came back after going out for a while. When they arrived at Zhao's house, Yan Lu was wrestling with Zhao Zhiwen. There was a sour smell of love between the two, and there were pink bubbles around them, blingbling. With the reflection of the light, no one could squeeze in. He was afraid that his eyes would be blinded if he stayed for a while, so he hurried back to look for it.
