It is a lie for Tian Luo to say that he is not disappointed. Of course, he is not disappointed because the money he spent was in vain. He is more disappointed because the person he has a crush on for the first time in his life leaves quietly like this. .

Tian Luo, who had already sat up, felt more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it, so he simply lay down again, lying upright on the ground and staring at the sky with his eyes open, until the sound of hurried footsteps approaching the cave, before he could react, the The face that I have never forgotten appeared in front of me again.

Tao Yuan was holding a handful of wild fruits in his arms. As soon as he entered the cave, he saw Tian Luo's disappointed eyes, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is Engong sad?He put the fruit on the ground covered with clean hay, and said carefully: "Grandfather, I ran out of dry food last night. You can eat some of this fruit first. I used to eat it on the mountain without any problem. After eating, I will follow you." go home."

Tian Luo got up suddenly, a little dizzy when he got up, but he didn't forget to smile at Tao Yuan. Sure enough, he was right, Tao Yuan is a fastidious man.

"You eat too, Tao Yuan."

Tian Luo was almost full by himself, while Tao Yuan on the other side didn't move a single fruit, just sat quietly, looked at Tian Luo, and his face turned red because of Tian Luo's words.

"I, I'm not hungry, benefactor eats first." Tao Yuan has lived for 18 years, and this is the first time he feels the care of others, and his heart that has been beating steadily has missed a beat.

Tian Luo didn't listen to Tao Yuan's explanation, but decisively put a big and round fruit on the ground into Tao Yuan's hand, and urged: "It's a long night, and you go out early in the morning. Are you hungry? Eat it quickly." , I'll take you home after eating."

Under Tian Luo's supervision, Tao Yuan ate all the remaining fruits, and then the two set foot on the way home together.

On the way, Tian Luo thought about lunch. His family was poor and it was impossible to go to the town to buy meat, but he and Tao Yuan must have a lot of food. If there is no meat and only eating, is this considered abuse of Tao Yuan?

Tian Luo thought over and over again, and simply stopped, intending to find a fish in the river to take back to eat. When he stopped, Tao Yuan behind him also stopped. Seeing the doubt on Tao Yuan's face, he smiled. Said: "There is no meat at home, I will touch a fish for you, and wait for me on the shore."

Tao Yuan was stunned by Tian Luo's naughty smile, and by the time he realized it, Tian Luo had already waded into the river and bent down to look for fish.

Tao Yuan looked at Tian Luo's profile, and couldn't help but think, his benefactor is really good-looking, better than anyone he has ever seen. He is tall and looks like a man who can work, and he has such a good heart. Good people don't have wives?

"Tao Yuan? Tao Yuan?" Tian Luo yelled two more times, only to see Tao Yuan responding to him, thinking to himself, could this Tao Yuan think he was poor and didn't want to go home with him?

"Engong, what are you calling me? Why don't you come up and talk about this cool water?" Tao Yuan was not surprised when he found out that Tian Luo hadn't touched the fish yet. There are many other big rivers with fish, and the water in this small river is still bone-chilling even in summer, so now he is a little worried about his benefactor's health.

The corners of Tian Luo's mouth turned up slightly, and there was an unknowing light in his long and narrow eyes. He looked at Tao Yuan and said frankly: "This place is full of small fish. We don't have any oil to fry fish. You follow me to go deep over there." Look at the pool."

Tian Luo went ashore and walked with Tao Yuan for a while, and came to the deep pool where the river converged. He was about to go down again, but was stopped by Tao Yuan. It's too deep, let me go!"

"No, I have a sense of proportion, you can wait for me on the shore!" Tian Luo stopped Tao Yuan's movement, and seeing that Tao Yuan was still eager to try, he said again: "What I'm looking for is mandarin fish, that kind of fish likes still water, you Come with me, we will be hungry at noon."

This sentence successfully stopped Tao Yuan, but Tao Yuan was not idle. He started to wander around in the woods. From Engong's words, he heard the situation at home, there was no oil and rice, and he was going to use this opportunity to pick some mountain products to eat. In short, he must not cause trouble to Engong.

Mandarin fish likes still water, and usually likes to lie down in the crevices of the rocks in the pool, and does not move around much.The whole body of mandarin fish is dark. If you have bad eyesight, you always miss the best chance to catch mandarin fish.

Tian Luo lived in the countryside since he was a child, and his fishing skills have been passed down from his grandfather. After a while, Tian Luo touched two gray-brown mandarin fish with bluish yellow.

Both the dorsal and pelvic fin spines of mandarin fish are poisonous, and if they are accidentally stabbed, the affected area will be severely swollen and painful. Perhaps it is for this reason that local people seldom catch mandarin fish, and they raise them individually to make them plump and plump.

"Engong, this fish is really big, let me help you." Tao Yuan came back after picking some wild vegetables from the mountains. □□ live.

Tian Luo pierced the gills of two big fat fish, passed them through with a straw rope, tied them together and handed them to Tao Yuan, and landed with Tao Yuan's assistance. , One after the other, they walked towards home.

**

Along the way, Tian Luo's heart is actually very complicated, because his family can only be described as a bare house now, and he is really afraid of frightening Tao Yuan.

Fortunately, Tao Yuan is a down-to-earth man, and he didn't dislike the house at all. Instead, after looking around the house, he said a few words with Tian Luo, and then went to tidy up the yard with a weeding tool with a smile on his face.

Tian Luo was handling the mandarin fish in the kitchen. These two mandarin fish were extremely fat. Tian Luo planned to make only one and keep the other in a water basin. He planned to give it to his second aunt Luo Ying when he had time. Settling down here is also thanks to Luo Ying's care. He can no longer be like the original owner and treat everyone indifferent every day. He should be grateful.

Too much processing of mandarin fish is a bit superfluous. You just need to wash the fish, add green onion and ginger, and steam it in a pot. During the period, Tian Luo also went to the vegetable garden in his front yard to collect some spinach. and potatoes.

After leaving the kitchen, Tian Luo noticed with sharp eyes that all the weeds in his yard had been cleaned up by Tao Yuan. After walking a few steps into the vegetable garden, he saw Tao Yuan erecting a fence for the vegetable garden.

The weeds in the vegetable garden have also been cleared by Tao Yuan. The sun is the sunniest at noon in summer. Tian Luo looked at Tao Yuan, who was covered in sweat but still bowed his head to erect the fence, feeling a little sorry. What Tao Dazhuang said to himself before, Tao Yuan honestly only knows how to work, and the most important thing is that he has a stubborn temper. Such a person must have suffered a lot of grievances in that family.

Tian Luo looked behind for a long time, but Tao Yuan didn't turn his head. He cleared his throat and said, "Tao Yuan is about to eat. I'll make these after dinner. There's no rush for this stuff."

Hearing a voice behind him, Tao Yuan just turned around, wiped off the sweat on his face with the sweat towel around his neck, and replied, "It will be over soon."

What does this mean? Tian Luozi heard it clearly, but he didn't want to let Tao Yuan work under the poisonous sun, so he adopted a roundabout tactic and said again: "The fish is ready, I want to cook another dish, help me I give a hand?"

As soon as Tao Yuan heard that he needed help, he hurriedly put down the work in his hands, and quietly followed Tian Luo to wait for his release.

In fact, the help Tian Luo said was to wash the spinach, and he peeled and shredded the potatoes, put them in a pot of boiling water for blanching, and then put them in cold water to make the potato shreds crisp and refreshing.

Blanch the chopped spinach in boiling water, then mix it with shredded potatoes, add a little salt and pepper, and serve.

"You sit here, and I'll bring you the steamed fish." After Tian Luo finished speaking, he threw Tao Yuan, who was a bit cramped, in the main room by himself.

Tao Yuan sat alone at the dining table, looking at the bright green spinach salad on the table, couldn't help but move aside to smell it, he had eaten this kind of dish in his previous home, but he didn't look forward to it as much as he did now. I don't know whether I am looking forward to eating or looking forward to the future life. Generally speaking, he is very happy now, the first time in these 18 years.

When Tian Luo brought the steamed mandarin fish to the table, Tao Yuan could not tolerate the fragrance of the steamed mandarin fish. He still remembered what Tian Luo had said to him before. How did you do it?

Tian Luo seemed to understand Tao Yuan's expression. He put the steamed mandarin fish on the dining table and explained calmly, "There is no oil at home, so I just want to make two dishes that are delicious without oil."

"It's the first time I've discovered that cooking without oil can be so attractive."

"Haha, it's okay, don't get me wrong, I will buy oil in the future, it's impossible for you and me to suffer all the time."

Speaking of suffering, Tao Yuan shook his head violently, as if Tian Luo would not believe it, he hurriedly said: "It's not bitter, it's much better than before."

Tian Luo didn't know how to continue this conversation. Seeing that Tao Yuan was dull again, he hurriedly picked up a fish with chopsticks and put it in Tao Yuan's bowl, and said warmly: "Don't just look at it, try it, we are just the two of us at home, it's not that bad. Be more disciplined, just let go and eat."

Tao Yuan lowered his head and put the fish in the bowl into his mouth, chewed for a while, raised his head to look at Tian Luo in amazement, and began to eat again in a muffled voice.

"good to eat."

The meat of steamed mandarin fish is tender and delicious, smooth and delicious. It would be even better if you replace the dry grains at home with crystal clear white rice. Tian Luo doesn't like dry grains, and the feeling of scratching your throat is really uncomfortable , but he is not good at showing it. After all, he is a farmer in the countryside who dislikes things like dry food. If it is spread, it may be another joke.

However, Tao Yuan saw all of this clearly. After Tao Yuan ate a few mouthfuls of fish, he kept nibbling on the dry food and stopped picking up vegetables. He wanted Tian Luo to eat more fish and he would not compete with him.

"Tao Yuan, why don't you eat vegetables? Come and eat some fish, this fish has few bones." Tian Luo wondered, this Tao Yuan was eating with relish at the beginning, why doesn't he eat now?

"Engong, you can eat, I don't like fish very much."

This lie was full of loopholes. At first he ate so happily, but now he said he didn’t like it. He was probably trying to scare the children. In order to protect Tao Yuan’s dignity, Tian Luo didn’t expose it, but sighed: “It’s a pity. , I don’t want to eat it either, why don’t I throw it away.”

Tian Luo's words were too lethal, Tao Yuan suddenly raised his head, the broken eyebrows on his face trembled uncontrollably a few times, and then continued: "This, this is too blind."

"Then you will eat with me, and if you don't eat, I will throw it away."

"Okay, I'll eat." Tao Yuan no longer wronged the glutton in his stomach, and enjoyed the meal to the fullest.

The lunch passed happily in this way, and Tao Yuan rushed to clear the dishes and clean the kitchen. After tidying up everything, he planned to continue to fence the vegetable garden, and at the same time there was a knock on the door of the house.
