happy farming

Because he wanted to ask Bai Hua to discuss matters between Su Qing and Song Lin, Zhao Shi not only killed an old hen and stewed it for Song Lin's health, but also prepared a few dishes to entertain him.

In the evening, bursts of strong stewed chicken aromas began to waft from the kitchen from time to time.Floating into the room, Song Lin also woke up slowly, touched his side in a daze, felt cool, then closed his eyes and dragged out a soft voice, "Su... Qing..."

"Brother, don't call me, I'm here. Wake up and get up quickly, you have already come to remind me once." Su Qing sat at the desk and laughed.

Song Lin looked as if he hadn't woken up yet, and asked with his eyes blindfolded, "Really? Why did he come to urge you?"

"Uncle Baihua and the others are coming to the house for dinner tonight, so Momo and Qiu Rong have been busy in the kitchen all afternoon."

"What are they here for?" Song Lin asked, frowning, rubbing his eyes and yawning, thinking that if his story had already spread in the village, then Bai Dong'er would definitely be wordy again when he came.

"Now that you are two months pregnant, they are here to discuss our marriage."

Marriage?Song Lin's scalp went numb when he heard it, and he immediately woke up.Leaving aside how cumbersome the preparations for the marriage were, he felt unacceptable to be married in front of so many people, as if he really had to marry himself.

That year, Liu Qian's light makeup and red clothes, and his shy appearance are still fresh in his memory.

So even if he is pregnant with a baby now, he still cannot connect himself with the married person in his bones.

When Zhao Shi was talking about this earlier, he wanted to object, but Zhao Shi was angry at that time, so he didn't have the courage to speak out.

But this time...

Song Lin sat up, swallowed and said slowly, "...Actually, I don't think there is any need to do it. Anyway, we live together all the time, so we can save money, so we don't have to work so hard, don't you think? Besides, you are now the county magistrate of Xinhe County. There must be many people who want to take this opportunity to curry favor with you. This is not good. Qinger, you are an upright official. Gossip. And it doesn't matter whether we get married or not, as long as we understand it in our hearts. Uh... what do you think?"

Su Qing lazily responded, then lowered her head and continued to read, without arguing with him much.Seeing that he didn't look at him directly, Song Lin knew that he was talking in vain, pursed his mouth, got up slowly, put on his clothes, and went to the kitchen alone.

When he walked into the kitchen, Qiu Rong was squatting on the ground washing mushrooms with his sleeves rolled up.

Song Lin felt a little distressed at this scene. Since winter, perhaps because of his pregnancy, he has become a lot more lazy, and now Qiu Rong is doing many things at home alone.

"Brother, you're up." Qiu Rong raised his head and said.

Song Lin nodded, and said softly, "Qiu Rong, go out for a rest, don't freeze your hands, I'll fix it here."

Qiu Rong chuckled, "Don't worry, big brother, I use hot water to wash. You can take care of your health now, and Su Luo and I are at home. Now that we have grown up, you don't have to worry about it anymore." .”

Song Lin sighed slightly, and said with emotion, "Yes, you have been in Xinhe for several years. In the blink of an eye, a few years have passed, and you and Luoer are both so old. It's great..."

Seeing him like this, Qiu Rong was also stunned for a moment and said, "Brother, don't stand here in a daze, go back to the room, what are you waiting for? I'll call you when they come."

Song Lin ignored him, but went straight to the small stove and untied the lid of the pot, and a rich aroma immediately wafted into his nostrils.The old hen stewed with goji berries and angelica, in addition to the delicious aroma of chicken soup, also has the faint smell of Chinese medicine of angelica, which makes people salivate when they smell it.

Normally, Song Lin would be very happy and would eat a lot, but now seeing the layer of oil floating on it, he felt a little bored and wanted to vomit.

After washing the mushrooms, Qiu Rong got up, saw him frowning, then pursed his lips and smiled, "I put the mushrooms in later, it won't be so greasy, have I said that you must eat more, and then you can give birth to a fat baby come out."

The corner of Song Lin's mouth twitched, and instead of answering his words, he went to the chopping board and rolled up his sleeves.On the chopping board is a plate of sliced ​​pork, a piece of fish, some sliced ​​celery and sliced ​​tofu that should be used to cook the fish, so what should the meat be fried for?

"Qiu Rong, did you say something about fried meat?"

Qiu Rong was stunned for a moment, and replied, "No. Just now he heard Uncle Bai Hua's voice, so he went out and said he would be back soon."

Song Lin said oh, but there were people at home, so two or three dishes didn't look good, so he started looking for anything else to cook in the kitchen, but he couldn't find anything after looking around twice. Come on, there is a pile of dry goods stacked in the corner.He couldn't help frowning, looked outside the house, and saw that the snow had stopped, so he called Su Qing and asked him to go to the field behind the house to cut some spinach and chop a Chinese cabbage back.

Su Qing smiled, and went with a basket and a knife.

Song Lin was not very good at cooking fish, so he let it go and waited for Zhao Shi to cook it.And he made a salad with spinach and shredded cabbage. After staring at the plate of meat and thinking for a long time, he cooked a plate of fried meat with salt.There is a little garlic sprouts and homemade chili watercress in the full plate of meat, which looks very appetizing.

Song Lin picked up a piece of meat, handed it to Qiu Rong's mouth, and said, "Qiu Rong have a taste."

Qiu Rong bit it into his mouth, and after a while he smiled, "Enen, brother, it's delicious."

Song Lin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Really? I haven't cooked recently, and I'm afraid it won't taste good. It's just that you have worked hard these years, Qiu Rong."

Qiu Rong shook his head and said in a low voice, "Brother, don't say that, Qiu Rong didn't work hard at all. If it wasn't for you back then, I don't know..."

"Do you want to go back to Lechang?" Song Lin suddenly interrupted him and asked.

Qiu Rong looked at him in astonishment, "Go back to Lechang?"

"Yeah, you haven't been back for so many years. Let's go back once the spring begins." Song Lin said as he scooped water to clean the innermost cauldron, and then poured two scoops of water into it , Take the steamed grate, put all the prepared dishes on it, then light the firewood, and warm it slowly with a small fire, so that the dishes will always be hot without getting cold.

"No need, there's no family there anyway." Qiu Rong smiled, but sadness lingered in his heart.After so many years, he really wanted to go back, even if it was just once, as long as he could offer incense to his father and the others.But now that Song Lin is pregnant, he can still withstand the bumps of the carriage.

At this moment, Zhao Shi walked in, and Song Lin and the others stopped talking.

The author has something to say: this chapter is a little short, I will make it up tomorrow, I am a little busy recently, sorry my dears.
