In the morning, after the old man's words, Zhao Shanshi lost all excitement.

When Li Ping came back, he saw that he was listless, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he looked pitiful. He asked in a low voice behind his back, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Shanshi was dejected, "The old man asked me to think about your family's family problems. The old man thinks that your family conditions are too good, and if the relationship is a little dull, I'm afraid we will have conflicts in the future."

"Why?" Li Ping patted him on the shoulder, "You don't trust my feelings or my character? I'm not the kind of person who likes to vent my anger. No matter what choice I make, I will be responsible."

The answer was so strange, Zhao Danshi looked up at him, sighed, rubbed his back, "That's what I said, but I still feel uncomfortable. Brother, why do you think it's so difficult for us to be gay?"

"Heterosexuality is not easy, don't think too much."

Zhao Shanshi took a deep breath and changed the subject, "Brother, my clothes have arrived, let's go to town to get them later."

They have a good financial strength now. Zhao Danshi bought this set of ancient costumes that were specially customized. After taking them back and wearing them, Zhao Danshi immediately had a different temperament.

The old man looked at it for a while, and commented: "This dress looks good, and it makes people energetic."

The clothes fit perfectly, and Zhao Danshi's belt was tied high, making it appear that his legs were 1.2 meters long.

Zhao Danshi didn't quite trust the old man's gaze, so he looked up at Li Ping and asked for his opinion: "It's so pretty?"

"It's really pretty, you'll know when it's photographed." Li Ping looked him up and down a few times, then regretfully said: "Hair is a bit short, it would be nice if it was longer."

Zhao Danshi stretched out his hand to touch his limp hair, and he also felt that the hair volume was not enough, the hair was not long enough, and he didn't have the momentum of the old saying that the male protagonist flicked his hair.

"I can only make do with it. I can't buy a wig anymore, can I?" Zhao Shanshi stretched his waist, "Brother, let's pick the reed leaves in the afternoon, soak the glutinous rice in the evening, and make zongzi tomorrow."

The old man asked: "Why are you picking them so early, without waiting for the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"Aren't we going to shoot a video? Everyone went to pick the reed leaves during the Dragon Boat Festival, and there were only a few broken branches and fallen leaves left. The effect of the film was not good. Anyway, the rice dumplings can be stored for many days, so we wrapped them in advance and waited for the Dragon Boat Festival. Just eat more." Zhao Shanshi asked the old man, "Grandpa, do you want to go with us?"

"You go, I won't bother with my old arms and legs." The old man said, "I'll bring a bag at home."

When DouDou heard his name, a small face appeared from the gap in the railing of the small bed, looking towards them to join in the fun.

"Yo!" Zhao Danshi couldn't help but went to pick him up and weighed him, "You want to play too?"

"Ha!" Doudou was amused by Zhao Danshi's actions, and waved his arms and legs, wanting him to do it again.

Zhao Danshi did what he wanted, and weighed it again, which caused repeated laughter.

After playing for a few minutes, Zhao Danshi's arms felt a little sore, and he hurriedly stuffed the bag into Li Ping's arms, "Brother, come and weigh it, I can't hold it anymore, this little guy is getting fat again."

Zhao Danshi's aura and Doudou's milky scent attacked Li Ping together. Li Ping was taller than Zhao Danshi, and Doudou's field of vision was much higher. He smiled again, showing two small teeth.

"It's a little heavier."

The old man laughed beside him and said, "The child grows up very quickly. After a few months, he will be able to walk and talk, and will follow you around to play."

Zhao Danshi imagined that scene, and couldn't help but also laughed. He asked the old man: "Grandpa, do you want sweet or salty rice dumplings?"

"It's all right."

"Brother, what about you? Which one do you like?"

"I like small meat dumplings." After teasing Doudou, Li Ping put him back on the crib, turned to Zhao Danshi and said, "The size of a fist is fine, not too big."

"Then let me pack some sweet and salty ones."

Zhao Shanshi went to change his clothes and put on his rubber shoes, "Grandpa, brother and I are going to work."

"Go, go, finish your work early and come back early while the sun is not too strong."

Zhao Danshi and Li Ping went to water the fields, and Zhao Danshi went to the strawberry field to check the situation, picked some strawberries and tasted them, a little worried that the strawberries were growing too fast.

"Brother, do you think we will pick a batch of strawberries to sell in two days?"

"I think it's okay, and I'll pick up some other ones by the way. The holiday is coming soon, so I shouldn't worry about selling them."

Strawberries like to be cool and afraid of heat. When the real summer comes, there will not be so many strawberries in the field.

Zhao Danshi felt a little regretful. If Boss Li didn't want to cooperate with them, they should be the most profitable time for strawberries.After selling this batch, the income of more than [-] yuan should not be a problem.

"Then let's sell strawberries the day after tomorrow, drive to the county town to sell them, and pick some cucumbers, eggplants, beans, peppers, etc. Hey, brother, do you think we should make some rice dumplings and sell them in the county town?"

Li Ping tapped his head, "Are you really focused on making money?"

"Isn't this expanding the variety of business?" Zhao Danshi didn't mind his teasing at all, "We use enough materials and good craftsmanship, and the dumplings we make are not afraid that no one will buy them."

Li Ping pulled him to sit on the ridge of the field to rest, and said, "Shan Shi, have you been a little anxious recently?"

Zhao Danshi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and shook his head, "No, why should I be anxious?"

Li Ping patted him on the back, "Our current products are complex enough, we don't have to think about making money for everything, and enjoy life once in a while."

Zhao Danshi turned his face to look at him, and asked the question he had been wanting to ask all along, "Brother, do you think it's a waste for you to come to the country?"

"What is waste?"

"It's just..." Zhao Danshi gestured, "You used to make tens of millions or hundreds of millions of profits in each project, but now you earn tens of thousands a month. Do you feel that there is a gap?"

"Do you know what kind of life I lived in the past?"

"Huh?" Zhao Shanshi looked at him, unable to understand why he asked this for a while.

"I used to work [-] hours a day, rest [-] hours, and have to shorten my meal time. I faced countless new problems every day, dealt with several interest groups, and had to be rejected by my dad from time to time for not doing a good enough job. No Friends, no entertainment, no rest time...doesn't it sound particularly miserable?"

Zhao Danshi rubbed his nose, this sounded miserable enough, "Then you used to be a domineering president, but now you are a farmer? Do you feel that your status, um, is downgraded?"

"Shan Shi, do you think there are classes in our society?"

"Yes." Zhao Shanshi nodded, "Although we have been saying that everyone is equal for many years, in fact we are not equal in life."

Li Ping shook his head with a smile, "Essentially they are equal. Even if a president and a cleaner look unequal in the eyes of the general public, there is still no difference between the two, only the division of labor is different. Don't rush to refute, you Look, if you feel unequal, it’s usually because one person wants something from the other, so they consciously let go of their status. For example, when you go to see your former boss now, do you want to please him or something?”

Zhao Shanshi shook his head. His former boss was focusing on garbage projects. If he saw the boss again, he might not even give him a good face, let alone flattering him.

"So there's nothing unreasonable, our life is very happy now, we have enough exercise every day, eat the best food, rest on time, family members love each other, what we want to do every day, we can basically realize independent planning , You don’t need to look at people’s faces, this kind of life is already great.”

Li Ping turned his face to look at Zhao Danshi, "The hermit life is the dream of most Chinese scholars. We have realized it. What is there to be dissatisfied with?"

Zhao Danshi stared into his eyes and confirmed to him again, "Brother, are you really satisfied with this kind of life from the bottom of your heart? Don't you think it's too ordinary and unchallenging?"

"No, the current life is good enough, I don't like to set up difficult problems for myself." Li Ping rubbed his head, "Don't think about it, I like the current life very much. You don't have to worry about my family, Without me, you and them are strangers, my family should be left to me to solve."

Zhao Shanshi nodded, "Then I won't ask."

The two talked, rested for a while, and went back to water. After watering, they shouldered the vegetables picked this morning and went back.

Zhao Shanshi got into the kitchen to cook, and Li Ping helped him light the fire.

After the meal was ready, Zhao Wende, who fed the chickens and ducks, came back. He put down his things and wiped off his sweat, "It's so hot outside."

The old man gave him some tea, "It's very sunny, take a rest, or sleep here at noon? Don't go back."

Zhao Wende smiled innocently, "It's fine, I'll sleep on the sofa in the living room later."

Zhao Shanshi asked: "Uncle Wende, do you want to eat cold salad today?"

"eat."

Zhao Shanshi then went back to take a picture of a cucumber.

Zhao Wende rolled up his straw hat and fanned himself, "By the way, Shan Shi, the loquats by the pond are ripe, so I have to take some time to pick them off."

"Huh?" Zhao Shanshi hadn't visited the pond for a long time, and he blinked blankly, "Are there any loquat knots this year?"

"Yes, but not many, there are only a few dozen per tree." Li Ping helped serve the dishes, "I thought these fruits would not grow very big, but I didn't expect them to be ripe now."

"Hey, then I'll have to take a look later." Zhao Shanshi couldn't help asking, "Uncle Wende, how does our loquat look?"

"Looks pretty good, all of them are as big as ping-pong balls."

"That big?!"

"Yeah, the loquat trees you bought this year are pretty good. I can smell the scent of loquats from a long distance away. I guess if I don't pick them off again, it will be cheaper for those birds."

This was really a pleasant surprise. Zhao Danshi had already prepared for the loquat knot in two years, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
