Vicious cannon fodder loves farming

Zeng Xingzhi looked over and saw Yao Yan's face full of curiosity, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "This is Toxoplasma worm, it looks like a bow when it walks, hence the name, the powder can be used as medicine to improve eyesight and relieve fire, it is a common medicinal insect."

Common drug bugs?

Yao Yan put down the toxoplasma with a dry smile, "I live in a muddle-headed way, full of distracting thoughts, and I don't pay much attention to these things. Now that I know it today, I will definitely catch it and use it as medicine for you."

Yao Yan, who became more imposing as he spoke, patted the ashes on his body, leaned on crutches and went back to his room, yawning loudly as he walked.

Zeng Xingzhi looked at his back with an inexplicable face. When the door closed, Zeng Xingzhi shook his head and raised his hand to turn the book, only to realize that he hadn't finished reading that page.

He was stunned for a while, then simply put down the book, got up and went to the medicine house.

Daheipa pulled his feet twice, turned over and continued to sleep.

After returning to the room, Yao Yan went to bed and fell asleep not long after.

When Yao Yan woke up, it was already dusk, he got up slowly, sat on the edge of the bed for a while, and only picked up his crutches to go out after he regained his composure.

The gate of the courtyard was closed tightly, and there was no sign of Zeng Xingzhi in the courtyard or the medicine house. Yao Yan scratched his head, did he go out?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a big black voice coming from the backyard.

He was stunned, and walked slowly to the backyard out of curiosity. Hearing his footsteps, Dahei jumped over and circled around his feet, and then jumped to Zeng Xingzhi's side.

"Young master, are you growing vegetables?"

Looking at Yao Yan, who was holding a small hoe in Zeng Xingzhi's hand, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he thought that this man was not from a farmer, so why did he use a small hoe for digging herbs to cultivate the land?

Zeng Xingzhi glanced at him helplessly, Xu just woke up, at this time Yao Yan's face was still flushed and dazed, he looked stupidly, "Just now I came back from looking for some herbs, just this little The land is empty, so it would be good to simply use it as a small medicine field."

Only then did Yao Yan realize that there was a small dustpan of herbs where Dahei was standing.

With a clear cough, he stepped forward and said, "My lord, it's early summer, can you survive?"

The days are getting bigger and bigger.

"This herb is called Lietao, and it's time to transplant it in summer." Zeng Xingzhi didn't talk too much nonsense with him, so he just went about his own business. Yao Yan didn't talk anymore, anyway, he had enough sleep and was thinking After standing for a while, he just watched Zeng Xingzhi work with Dahei.

At this time, Zeng Xingzhi was no longer wearing the long gown that Yao Yan saw before going to bed, perhaps for the convenience of work, Zeng Xingzhi was wearing a short sackcloth, but even so, it could not conceal his outstanding appearance.

Feast Yao Yan's eyes.

Sensing Yao Yan's "enthusiastic" gaze, Zeng Xingzhi mistakenly thought that the other party wanted to help him with work, so he raised his head and said, "You don't have to be in a hurry, I'll see how your bones are doing tonight."

Yao Yan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded quickly, no one wants to be a cripple.

Anyway, he now has a reason to stay by Zeng Xingzhi's side.

After dinner in the evening, after Yao Yan took a shower, Zeng Xingzhi waited for him in the main room. After he sat down, he went to look at his feet. Yao Yan was born fair and thin, and his legs were long and white. The corners of Zeng Xingzhi's mouth twitched slightly.

"You, how are you..."

Yao Yan blinked innocently, "It's really hot this day, I was woken up by the heat several times at night, so after each wash, I only wear a long gown, which is cool and won't cover my other wounds. .”

In addition to the injured leg, he also had a skin injury on his thigh. The past few days were just about to heal. When it was hot at night, the wound was healing and it was very itchy. This scratching broke it again...

Zeng Xingzhi looked into his clear eyes, and reluctantly believed his words, but looking at his raised feet, if he looked inward along the heels, he could see the faint shadow ...

Zeng Xingzhi withdrew his eyes in embarrassment, quickly installed a new splint for Yao Yan, and hurried back to the room.

Yao Yan put down his feet with a smile, pulled down the gown to cover it, and went back to the room humming a little tune.

"Master, is it pretty?"

In the hazy night, Zeng Xingzhi was sitting on a chair, in front of him was Yao Yan who stretched out his long legs and slid on his chest.

Zeng Xingzhi pursed his lips, and looked at the charming Yao Yan with deep eyes. He didn't know how the other party attracted attention after being emotional.

"Sir?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yao Yan's leg slowly slid down from Zeng Xingzhi's heart, until somewhere, Zeng Xingzhi grabbed his ankle, "Don't make trouble."

When he opened his mouth, he realized how much he had endured.

The chuckle seemed to be right next to his ears, Zeng Xing was so embarrassed that he felt ashamed and annoyed, and was about to speak when he heard Dahei's non-stop barking, but everything in front of his eyes disappeared after those few barks, and he suddenly open your eyes.

Only then did I realize that this was actually a dream.

But in his dream he dreamed of Yao Yan like that...

Yao Yan always felt that there was something wrong with Zeng Xingzhi today. Apart from eating with himself, he stayed in the medicine shed in the morning, went out to collect medicine in the afternoon, and returned to the room with his books in his arms after dinner in the evening.

It was like this for several days in a row.

Yao Yan was confused.

"What's wrong with him?"

After waking up the system, Yao Yan lay on the bed very puzzled.

"Male heart, grass on the top of the mountain, how do I know," the system replied lazily, "Besides, aren't you a man?"

Yao Yan touched his cock silently, making sure that he was a man.

"Men know men best, why do you ask me?" The system's voice was slightly disgusted.

The corner of Yao Yan's mouth twitched, but he became interested and asked, "Are you not a man? Then you are a woman?!"

System: ... then ask about deducting points.

Alright, Yao Yan shut up, and he can be sure that the other party is neither a man nor a woman.

That is a string of data?

Yao Yan thought of the messy articles he had read before, and fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, when Zeng Xingzhi washed the dishes and was about to go out again, Yao Yan glanced at the sun that had only risen in the morning, and said, "Master, did I do something wrong?"

Zeng Xingzhi froze all over, raised his eyes to look over, and saw Yao Yan's eyes were reddish, with his hands in front of him, looking at him uneasily.

In the end it was me who dreamed something I shouldn't have dreamed, so what does it have to do with others?

Zeng Xingzhi coughed, and put down the hoe in his hand, "The sun is hot, and soon it will be time to harvest plums, so it is inevitable that I will get hot. I will gather more herbs to prepare for emergencies."

The words were dry and unconvincing, but Yao Yan heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the corners of his eyes vigorously, and lowered his head, "So it's like this, I, I thought it was something I did wrong, You have offended the young master, and the young master wants to drive me away."

Seeing this, Zeng Xingzhi was filled with guilt, stepped forward two steps and was about to speak, when he saw Yao Yan raised his head again, looked at him with a smile and said.

"Now it seems that I was overthinking it. How can someone as good as the young master not keep his word? It's me who treats a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Zeng Xingzhi smiled lightly, his heart was much lighter after all, he looked at Yao Yan softly, "It's the belly of a gentleman."

"Almost the same," Yao Yan smiled foolishly.

After Zeng Xingzhi returned to his previous attitude and got busy in the medicine hut, Yao Yan snorted softly, how could he not know that a gentleman is not a belly?

"Hi green tea."

The system said suddenly.

Yao Yan became even more proud, "So-so."

Where is he so green?

And Zeng Xingzhi, who had figured it out here, looked at Yao Yan who was playing with Dahei under the eaves with a little guilt, "What happened to him, I was the one who had it."

There is not much rice and noodles at home, and Yao Yan’s injury is not healed, so one of Zeng Xing went to the town to do some shopping. In order to go early and return early, Zeng Xingzhi went to the town by bullock cart, and waited until he finished shopping for the things he needed. , was about to go back to Zhenkou by bullock cart, and heard two people talking in a low voice.

"Did you really hit someone?"

The tall and thin man looked at the person beside him in surprise.

"I hit him," Liu Guang sneered, "not only did I hit him, but I also broke his leg!"

The thin and tall man took a deep breath, glanced left and right, and then asked again, "I heard that he is the only son in his family, and he is not married. Now that he has a broken leg, will his family make a fuss?"

"It's been a while, but I haven't heard anything, and I think I'm at peace." Liu Guang frowned, "Besides, what kind of virtue is he, his family doesn't know? He still wants to get married, huh, he's just blind, No one will marry a girl to him!"

"That person is really not a good person, how is your sister?"

"I was frightened by that kid, and I fell ill for a while," Liu Guang gritted his teeth, only regretting that he didn't hit him a few more times to vent his anger for the little sister!

After hearing these words, Zeng Xingzhi knew that they were talking about Yao Yan without much guesswork.

Yao Yan's fair-skinned and smiling appearance appeared in his mind, and Zeng Xingzhi's expression turned a little bit bad at the moment.

He was about to go over and talk, but he heard the man say angrily, "Because I was afraid that the boy would cause trouble, my sister had to make a hasty marriage. Originally, my family planned to keep my sister for another two years!"

"Maybe. After all, he is shameless. If you really let him ruin your sister's reputation, why don't you marry him? All right, all right, don't be angry."

While talking, the two walked up to Zeng Xingqian.

Zeng Xingzhi stood in place for a long time before moving up.

Yao Yan happily prepared the meals, and waited for Zeng Xingzhi to come back for lunch, but when Zeng Xingzhi came back, Yao Yan immediately noticed that the other party was in a bad mood.

When eating, he was also more silent than before. When Yao Yan went to peek at him again and again, Zeng Xingzhi sighed, put down the bowl, and looked at him, "What's the matter?"

Yao Yan quickly shook his head, "No."

Zeng Xingzhi wanted to ask a few questions, but he felt bored and didn't want to ask. After repeated hesitation, Yao Yan also saw that he seemed to have something to say to himself, so he opened his mouth.

"My lord, is there anything you want to say to me?"

Zeng Xingzhi was silent for a while, and finally raised his eyes to look at him, his voice was low, and his face was serious, "If you really have a heart for her girl, then go for it in a fair manner, go to propose a marriage, even if you are rejected, then go It’s a bright road, so it won’t be talked about by too many people.”

Yao Yan was at a loss when he heard it, but at the end he smiled wryly.

"My lord, although I don't understand why you said these words, but I think it's strange that Minglu doesn't suffer from tongue-in-cheek with my notoriety."

As soon as the words fell, Yao Yan felt the surroundings were a bit colder, he subconsciously looked towards the opposite side, and saw Zeng Xingyi looking at him with a livid face.

"But I won't take any dark paths either!" Yao Yan, who was belatedly aware of it, immediately raised his hand and swore, "After I was beaten last time, I learned from the pain and started to be a new person. I lost my reputation and my marriage. In order to look forward to it, it is better to follow the young master and hand over all the money you earn in the future to the family, so that mother and grandma can live a good life."

After hearing that sentence, it is better to follow the young master, Zeng Xingzhi's ears turned red slightly, and after listening to Yao Yan's words, his depressed mood suddenly lifted, and his tone became a little more brisk, "What are you talking about? Can you be with me forever?"

"Naturally thinking about the son for the rest of his life!"

Yao Yan immediately expressed his feelings and stared straight at Zeng Xingzhi.

Zeng Xingzhi couldn't take it anymore, he got up and packed the dishes and walked towards the stove. Yao Yan held the chopsticks and looked at his back foolishly, "I'm not full yet..."

But Zeng Xingzhi didn't hear anything, his heart was already in a mess.

Yao Yan, who entered the kitchen with a cane, put his chopsticks on the stove, met Zeng Xingzhi's eyes, "My lord, I really changed, no matter whether people believe me or not, but my lord, I will follow you in the future." I hope you will trust me once."

Yao Yan spoke sincerely.

There was also a look of remorse on his face.

Zeng Xingzhi was stunned for a while, then put the chopsticks into the pot, looked back, "I believe you."

Yao Yan showed a cheerful smile, "What do you want to eat tonight, young master?"

"Hey, didn't you let me buy pork bones?"

Only then did Yao Yan remember that when Zeng Xingzhi asked him what food to buy when he went out, he casually said a few things.

Walking to the door of the cupboard, he opened it and saw that what Zeng Xingzhi bought was the front row, "Then let's make braised pork ribs."

The afternoon sun was even stronger, Zeng Xingzhi did not go to the medicine house, but went back to his room to rest like Yao Yan.

When Yao Yan was sleeping in a daze, he heard someone knock on the courtyard door, he sat up abruptly, and looked out of the window, it was already evening.

This summer nap is easy to sleep until night.

Stretching his waist, Yao Yan hurriedly got up and was about to open the door. He didn't want to hear voices from outside the courtyard door. When he opened the door and looked out, Zeng Xingzhi was carrying a basket on his back, with a big black dog next to him, followed by It was Uncle Zhang who carried Yao Yan that day.

As soon as Uncle Zhang entered the courtyard, he saw Yao Yan standing at the door.

I don't know if it's his own illusion, but Yao Yan always felt that the other party sized him up and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Zhang."

Yao Yan greeted.

"Hey," Uncle Zhang asked in a loud voice, walking not far from Yao Yan, "Is it better?"

Yao Yan moved his injured leg, "It's much better, faster than expected, and I'll definitely be able to catch up with the plum picking."

Uncle Zhang was a little surprised when he heard that Yao Yan was going to pick plums this year, but he was mostly happy, and looked at him with great satisfaction, "Growing up."

Yao Yan always felt a little weird, but he still smiled cutely.

Zeng Xingzhi came out from the medicine shed and handed Uncle Zhang a bottle of medicine. Uncle Zhang took out his wallet and said, "Uncle Zhang, I want to buy a rabbit."

It means that there is no need to pay for medicine, but Zeng Xingzhi has to give money instead.

Uncle Zhang was not polite, he answered, and when he went back, he caught a fat rabbit and came over.

After giving money to send Uncle Zhang away, Zeng Xingzhi looked back at Yao Yan who was staring at the rabbit, "You can feed the rabbit first, and then kill it when you want to eat."

"Let's eat it tomorrow," Yao Yan swallowed, "Didn't my mother bring so many kimchi today? Besides, the green peppers are just right for the past two days, making a pickled pepper rabbit is a great meal."

Hearing what he said, Zeng Xingzhi also began to look forward to the pickled pepper rabbit.

In the evening, the braised pork ribs made their stomachs round. Mosquito repellent was burned in the yard, and it was just right to sit at the stone table to enjoy the cool.

"What kind of medicine did Uncle Zhang come to get today?"

Because Zeng Xingzhi asked Yao Yan not to be too restrained in front of him, after getting along with him like before, Yao Yan was called more respectful.

"Cold." Speaking of this, Zeng Xingzhi was also a little puzzled. After all, Uncle Zhang didn't have a cold when he saw it that way, but Mother Yao, who came to deliver kimchi this morning, had a cough.

Not only did Zeng Xingzhi think of it, Yao Yan thought of it too.

The two looked at each other.

Zeng Xingzhi didn't speak, and Yao Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, but didn't speak.

After drinking the medicine and returning to the room, Yao Yan poked the system to ask if there were any past events between Yao's mother and Uncle Zhang that the original owner didn't know, but the system got ten points for opening its mouth.

The poor Yao Yan turned over violently holding the thin quilt.

Seeing that the plums were getting more and more mature, the village head selected more than 20 strong men to shuttle through the plum forest with baskets on their backs. They did not pick plums, but picked plums that had been eaten by insects and birds from the plum trees.

These are unsalable, but they are the favorite of the children in the village. Every household divides some. The village chief Zeng Xingzhi specially sent some here, and he chose the ones that were not seriously damaged. kind.

As soon as the village head left, Yao's mother also came. Naturally, the ones she got were not as good as the ones sent by the village head, but the ones that were selected again after returning home were sent over.

Zeng Xingzhi invited people in, and Yao Yan was able to have a few words with Yao's mother.

"Is your foot alright?"

Mother Yao looked at Yao Yan who had the splint removed, with a look of joy.

Yao Yan smiled and said, "Thanks to the young master, I thought there would be a long delay, but now it seems that I can help when picking plums."

"Picking plums?" Yao's mother shook her head, with a worried expression on her face, "It's a broken bone, and you can't do heavy work. Besides, you haven't been there before, so you don't know the seriousness. Mother is different. This year, mother will go."

Hearing this, Yao Yan was ashamed and uncomfortable. He looked at Yao's mother, "My son is really ashamed, mother, you don't believe me, don't you believe in the master's medical skills? Besides, it's not good for the son to not move his legs and feet. , the young master said that after removing the splint, I still need to walk more."

"Picking plums is not a simple matter of walking around," Mother Yao still frowned.

Yao Yan said again, "I'm not a fool, the youngest Wu from the Wu family by the small river is my companion, I pick plums, he carries plums, and we share the money equally."

Wu Laosan was born as a stupid child, and he was bullied a lot since he was a child. At best, he is honest, but at worst, he is a big fool.

In the past years, the Wu family also went to the Wu family, because although he is stupid, he is strong and hardworking. Unfortunately, every year, someone deliberately teases him. Yesterday, the old lady Wu brought Wu Laosan over to give Zeng Xingzhi the side dishes grown by himself. .

One is to thank Zeng Xingzhi for treating the little grandson of the Wu family before, and the other is to let Zeng Xingzhi see if Wu Lao San's head problem can be cured.

This is of course incurable.

Brought out of the mother's womb, it is difficult to go to the blue sky.

And taking advantage of that time, Yao Yan hooked up with Wu Laosan, and promised again and again in front of Wu Laosan that he would not bully Wu Laosan, and the two cooperated to share the money.

Perhaps because of Zeng Xingzhi's face, Mrs. Wu agreed.

Yao's mother didn't expect that someone would be willing to join forces with Yao Yan, but when she heard that it was Wu Laosan's child, she believed it, "Wu Laosan is an honest man, don't bully him, you can divide it up as you want."

When she said this, she was very serious, and Yao Yan nodded repeatedly.

Glancing at Zeng Xingzhi who didn't know what to do by the pool, Yao's mother asked again in a low voice, "Does Doctor Zeng want you to go?"

"This Dr. Zeng agreed," Yao Yan nodded with a smile, "He is easy to talk to."

"Then you can't just do other jobs just because he's easy to talk to." Yao's mother's idea is very simple. Since Yao Yan has become Zeng Xingzhi's sidekick, he has to work hard, and everything must be closely followed by Zeng Xingzhi. Now, for Yao Yan's behavior of wanting to pick plums, Yao's mother always felt that she was looking for other work behind his back.

"Young master will also go, but he is watching from the side in case someone suffers from heatstroke or falls down from exhaustion." In previous years, some villagers suddenly fell to the ground while working, but they frightened the village head and others. So when the village chief brought the plums, he specially asked Zeng Xingqian to sit in the battle.

"That's it," Yao's mother finally felt relieved, "Succeed, that mother has gone back, since you walk around more now, you have to do the chores at Dr. Zeng's place, you can't be like before..."

Speaking of this, Yao's mother immediately looked at Yao Yan, afraid that the other party would get angry if she didn't listen to what she said like before.

But Yao Yan responded with a smile, without any anger.

This made Yao's mother feel very comforted, the child has really grown up.

After sending Yao's mother away, Yao Yan happily came to the side of the pond and looked over, "My lord, are you alright?"

Mrs. Wu sent a crate of small miscellaneous fish, but yesterday she didn't have time to clean it up. Just when Yao Yan was about to clean it up, Yao's mother came again, so it was Zeng Xingzhi who cleaned up the miscellaneous fish.

Simply because I'm fine, I help out, so that I can eat delicious food earlier.

"All right."

It's not troublesome to clean up these small miscellaneous fish. They don't have fish scales, and they only need to squeeze out the dirty things in their stomachs.

"Success," Yao Yan hurriedly brought over a small wooden basin, and there was a piece of fragrant leaf in the small wooden basin, Zeng Xingzhi followed Yao Yan's wishes and put the small miscellaneous fish that he had packed into the fragrant leaf, and Yao Yan then carried it into the stove.

Zeng Xingzhi washed his hands and followed him in.

I saw that Yao Yan had already tied up the fragrant leaves and was putting them into the stove door, "The embers of the fire are big enough, and it will be done after half an hour."

I just stewed a big bone, and there happened to be red charcoal left in the stove door.

Zeng Xingzhi nodded, the smell of fragrant leaves had already come out from the stove door, Zeng Xingzhi became interested, "I'm going to make a pot of wine."

There are wine sellers in the village. They all make their own fruit wine or sorghum wine. There is very little rice wine.

"Success," Yao Yan felt greedy after smelling it, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Zeng Xingzhi smiled and went out.

On the way back from buying wine, someone greeted him, and Zeng Xingzhi naturally returned the greeting.

"Doctor Zeng, I heard that the Yao family boy is doing rough work at your place?"

This time it was an old woman who greeted Zeng Xingzhi, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and she looked mean.

Zeng Xingzhi was very displeased with this old woman, the reason was that this old woman was very fond of her sons and disliked her daughters, she beat or scolded her own granddaughter, she didn't have a piece of good flesh on her body.

"Aunt Sun, I went to town a few days ago, and happened to meet your fifth grandson who was enjoying gambling in the gambling house." Zeng Xingzhi frowned slightly, with a low tone, "I can hear Uncle Sun say that if grandson grandson gambles again , separate him out?"

Aunt Sun was flustered and startled, and looked at the surroundings, she quickly said, "Oh, Doctor Zeng, you must have misread, our fifth son has been at home these days and has never been to town, yo, look at my memory!"

She exaggeratedly raised the handful of leeks in her hand, "I have to go back to cook soon, otherwise the old man will be hungry, Doctor Zeng, go slowly."

After finishing speaking, Aunt Sun rubbed the soles of her feet with oil and slipped away quickly.

Zeng Xingzhi didn't change his face, and went home with the wine.

Pushing open the courtyard door, there was a smell of fragrance. Zeng Xingzhi was in a lighter mood, and slightly hooked his lips to close the courtyard door. It happened that Yao Yan came out with a large bowl of grilled crispy fish, "Young master, you came back sooner than you expected." Half a quarter late."

Yao Yan just said casually, but he didn't want Zeng Xingzhi to explain, "I met Aunt Sun on the road and said a few words."

"Aunt Sun? You also have something to say to her?"

Yao Yan was happy, that Aunt Sun's reputation was no different from her original body.

No one would say anything if she was mean to her own children, but her former second daughter-in-law was abused by her and returned to her natal family.

Zeng Xingzhi cleared his throat and put the wine on the stone table, "I just said a few words about Sun Laowu."

Speaking of Sun Laowu, the original body and the previous ones often mixed up and did those sneaky things, but Sun Laowu likes to gamble, and the original owner likes sex.

Not a decent person anyway.

"I've changed my past." Yao Yan sat down and filled a bowl of wine for Zeng Xingzhi and himself, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for Sun Laowu."

"Maybe." After thinking for a while, Yao Yan said again, "After all, you can't look at people through the crack of a door, you will look down on them."

Hearing this, Zeng Xingzhi raised the wine bowl, Yao Yan grinned, raised the wine bowl too, and the two of them had a chat.

Yao Yan didn't drink much, and didn't continue after drinking a bowl, but Zeng Xingzhi drank all the wine in the jar, but he didn't feel drunk, as for the little crispy fish, he had already taken care of it.

"My lord can drink really well." Yao Yan gave Zeng Xingzhi a thumbs up.

Zeng Xingzhi shook his head, put his hand on the jug, "This wine is not strong, just have fun."

That's right, the wine brewed by the peasants is true and pure, but not strong.

After Xu Shi drank, Zeng Xingzhi was more relaxed than usual. Yao Yan asked him what kind of patients he had met before. Zeng Xingzhi didn't talk about the patient's condition, but the reaction of the patient's family members.

"... There are some who just throw people at me, turn around and leave, regardless of whether they are dead or alive," Zeng Xingzhi shook his head.

Yao Yan sighed, seeing the moon hanging high in the night sky, he quickly changed the subject, "My lord, look how beautiful the moonlight is tonight."

Zeng Xingzhi raised his head, squinted his eyes, and sighed, "Yes."

At home, under such a moonlight, the fourth younger brother would have to find him to play chess. Thinking of this, Zeng Xingzhi looked at Yao Yan, "Can you play chess?"

Yao Yan blinked, "No, but I can learn."

Zeng Xingzhi's interest came, he fetched the chess pieces, and began to talk about the rules of chess in a low voice, Yao Yan learned half of it, and after a few games, he figured out the way.

"I won't show mercy this time."

Seeing Yao Yan's face, "I can do it, don't let me," Zeng Xingzhi raised the chess piece in his hand and said.

"Come on!" Yao Yan looked forward to it.

After a while, Yao Yan lamented, "Why did you lose!"

Zeng Xingzhi pursed his lips and smiled, "Again?"

Yao Yan gritted his teeth, "Come on!"

It was not until late at night that Zeng Xingzhi drove the yawning Yao Yan back to the room. After Yao Yan returned to the room, Zeng Xingzhi did not follow him back to his room.

He sat at the stone table, picked up the chess pieces and fiddled with them for a long time before getting up and going back to the room.

Yao Yan seemed to have a great interest in playing chess, so he asked Zeng Xingzhi to make a mess for him, and attacked by scratching his head.

Zeng Xingzhi is also happy with this, so he has nothing to do recently.

During the day, Yao Yan finished his work and went to study the endgame. At night, after dinner, the two played chess. Even though Yao Yan had never won, they were full of energy.

In a blink of an eye the plums are ripe.

Lizi Village was very lively. Early in the morning, the village chief held a morning meeting on the side of Daping Sunba, followed by each household who took part in this year's plum picking on the other side, Yao Yan and Wu Laosan Block to stand opposite.

After seeing Yao Yan, many people started talking about it.

"This kid has really changed. He hasn't picked plums in previous years."

"Look at the brows and eyebrows have softened a lot, they have really grown up."

"Hey, when did you learn to read pictures?"

Some people don't believe it.

"I see, this is only temporary. How do you say that? Dogs can't change eating shit."

This made many people laugh.

"Knowing mistakes can make a big difference, don't be too absolute about everything." Zeng Xingzhi stood behind them at some point, and these young people shut their mouths in fright.

After Zeng Xingzhi left, several people got together again.

"I heard that Yao Yan followed Dr. Zeng to do rough work!"

"Really? Can Doctor Zeng like Yao Yan?"

"It seems to be, but I heard that Yao Yan relied on Dr. Zeng's soft-heartedness to stay at his house."

"I believe that."

"I believe it too."

Yao Yan didn't have time to talk to them. He was talking to Wu Laosan about picking plums later, "Just look for me, and carry the plums to the dam. After my mother and your mother watch, you can pick them up." Come to me again, if other people ask you to give them the plums, you don’t bother at all.”

Fearing that Wu Laosan would not remember, Yao Yan told him all the way, making others laugh.

"I said Yao Yan, can you really remember what you said to a fool? Instead of telling him again and again, you might as well do it yourself."

A young man was carrying a large backpack, looking at the two with disdainful eyes and said.

Although Wu Laosan was stupid, he could feel their emotions. Seeing Yao Yan frown, he immediately blocked his big man in front of Yao Yan, and looked fiercely at the person coming.

"Second Wang, can you speak nicer? I don't think you are as good as Lao San Wu, at least he doesn't gossip about others," Yao Yan rolled his eyes, pulled Wu Lao San and left.

With a dark face, Wang Laoer caught up with him, "What do you mean?!"

"What do you mean just now, what do I mean."

Yao Yan couldn't bear to tangle with him, so he chose the entrance with Wu Laosan and entered the plum forest with a basket on his back, but Wang Laoer competed with each other, Yao Yan chose the plum tree, and he picked whichever one he followed.

When Yao Yan looked at it bitterly, Wang Lao Er showed a smug smile and raised his chin very arrogantly, "Why, I just like this plum tree."

"Naive ghost," Yao Yan turned to pick another tree, and when Wang Laoer was about to come, he said, "If you don't want to waste your time, don't be so naive."

Only then did Wang Lao Er think of his business, picking more plums, so that he could share more money, so he didn't deliberately look for trouble, and started picking plums wholeheartedly.

In the first round, Yao Yan and Wu Laosan picked them together. After Wu Laosan's back basket was full, Wu Laosan went back first, and when he came over with an empty backpack, Yao Yan picked it up himself Give him the full pannier, and continue to pick the empty pannier, and the speed is faster than before. After all, Wu Laosan will be back soon.

So, when Wang Laoer came back with an empty basket full of sweat, he saw Wu Laosan walking past him with a basket full of plums on his back.

"Why so fast?!"

Wang Laoer is in a hurry, is he really not as good as a fool?

But at the back, he found out that Wu Laosan and Yao Yan had teamed up.

In fact, this kind of situation also exists, but when the money is divided, there will always be tension, so few people are willing to join forces.

There was no agreement before, and now it is too late to make a temporary partner, Wang Laoer can only watch helplessly as Wu Laoer and Yao Yan's record is getting better and better.

Zeng Xingzhi was the most relaxed. Standing on a high place with the breeze blowing, he took a general look at Li Zilin's situation, and his gaze was naturally on Yao Yan.

Seeing that although Yao Yan's face was flushed from the sun, he is not a fool, he can use plum trees to shade himself.

"This year's sweet plums will definitely sell for a good price," Mrs. Wu smiled at Yao's mother next to her after eating one secretly.

Yao's mother didn't steal it, but she ate the bad plums that were given back last time, but the taste was better than last year's. "There is no rain this year, so these plums are naturally delicious."

"Hey, there are rumors in the village that Yao Yan is working with Dr. Zeng?" Mrs. Wu thought that she did meet Yao Yan when she went to Zeng's house before, and that Yao Yan and Zeng Xingzhi were very familiar, so she had a guess in her heart. But he still couldn't help asking.

After all, this matter cannot be hidden, and it is not a bad thing, Mother Yao nodded, "Doctor Zeng is a good person."

Mrs. Wu knew that this was the real thing, she smiled and said, "You, good days are coming."

Mother Yao looked at Li Zi in front of her. This year, she did not go to Li Zilin to be busy. It is indeed a good day.

"Good sister, you are not bad."

Mrs. Wu shook her head and said sadly, "The matter of the third child has not been settled yet, and his father and I are very worried."

Just when he wanted to ask Yao's mother if there was any good girl in her natal family, she suddenly remembered that Yao's family was recruiting a son-in-law, so she swallowed the words.

Seeing Yao's mother rolling up her sleeves and starting to help pack the larger plums, there were many people going back and forth, "After the white lady passes by, there will be the black lady, let's take a look."

For two days in a row, although Yao Yan was tired, he was also very happy. Zeng Xingzhi took the medicine box back, and today Wang Lao Er suffered from heatstroke, and everyone else was fine.

After Wang Laoer recovered, the Wang family thanked Zeng Xingzhi, and worriedly asked what happened to Wang Laoer.

Naturally, Wang Lao Er didn't dare to say that he was anxious to get angry because of Yao Yan's speed, but the sun was too big, and he directly suffered from heat stroke.

It can only be said that today's sun is too big, and I can't stand it.

Yao Yan happily told Zeng Xingzhi about his sharp eyesight and quick hands, "I will participate next year."

"Of course it's good," Zeng Xingzhi nodded and looked at him with great satisfaction.

While talking, the village chief brought a basket of big and sweet plums to Zeng Xingzhi. Zeng Xingzhi naturally knew that the plums were for sale, so he insisted on giving the money, but he didn't want the village chief to say seriously.

"You are the only doctor in our village, and we all rely on you. This is also everyone's opinion, otherwise I can recite it? Doctor Zeng, you just accept everyone's heart."

Seeing Zeng Xing's embarrassment, Yao Yan smiled and said, "Young master, what the village chief said is correct. If you don't accept it, others will think you are leaving."

"Yes, yes," the village chief nodded repeatedly.

Not every village has a village doctor. Before Zeng Xingzhi came here, there was no village doctor in his village, let alone a village doctor with such good medical skills.

Zeng Xingzhi had no choice but to accept it. After sending the village chief away, Zeng Xingzhi and Yao Yan washed some plums and ate them, and sent some to Yao's mother, but there were still a lot left. Yao Yanxing thought about it Afterwards.

"Why don't you make it into pickled plums? It's also a side dish in autumn and winter."

Naturally, Zeng Xingzhi had no objection, helping wash and crush the plums, he was very busy.

After he crushed some of the plums according to Yao Yan's request, Yao Yan poured those plums into the boiling water in the pot, and picked them up one by one after the plums turned uniform yellow.

Then use a cotton cloth to absorb the moisture of the plums, then sprinkle with salt and sugar, and let them rest for two hours before carefully putting them into jars.

"The drier the plums are, the longer they will be stored. Don't we have a cellar in the backyard? This plum jar has to be placed there. It will be damaged if it is too hot."

What Yao Yan said was not to make Zeng Xingzhi obliged to listen, he made up his mind
