Ba Zong's rural life [farming]

There were a few well-dressed strangers standing on the field, presumably they were the distinguished guests who came to the village today, Ruan Xishi tidied up her clothes before walking over, patted the chalk dust off her body, and then followed behind the village chief walk over.

When he came to him, he took the initiative to bow and say hello: "Mr. Lu, Ms. Gao, hello."

Ms. Gao saw that the little teacher was so generous, considerate and polite, and she liked him even more. She quickly supported him and said, "You are the teacher in the village, Mr. Ruan, right? I am a staff member of the Hope Project. Today is the If you want to choose a site for the Hope Primary School in our village, I will ask you to give us an idea then."

When Ruan Xishi heard that the other party was here to choose a site for the future school, he knew that the school in their village had been settled. He excitedly shook Ms. Gao's hand and said repeatedly: "If you need any help, just let me know. I will definitely help you."

Seeing his happy look, Ms. Gao couldn't help but patted his head lovingly, and said distressedly: "Oh, you child, why are you so affectionate? How old are you this year? How long have you been teaching in the village? "

Ruan Xishi replied: "I'm almost nineteen, and I just started teaching in the village this year. My grandfather was teaching before, but he passed away at the end of last year, so I will take over his burden."

After hearing this, Ms. Gao felt even more distressed: "Poor child, I am still a child, and I have to bear such a heavy responsibility."

The village chief saw the needle and said: "That's right, Teacher Xiao Ruan was brought up by us. We love him very much, but there is no way. Children don’t even have a chance to read.”

Ms. Gao smiled and said: "It's okay, now that we have the Hope Project, we will definitely support the education of our village, and strive to build the school within the next year, and call on volunteer teachers in the society to come and help the children in our village. Attend class."

Ruan Xishi kept nodding and thanking: "Thank you Ms. Gao, thank you for the Hope Project, I am really happy for the children in our village."

Ms. Gao looked at Ruan Xishi with relief, took his hand and asked, "Little Ruan, you should have returned to teach before graduating from university. When the village recruits teachers, you can return to campus to continue your studies with peace of mind." Already."

Ruan Xishi replied shyly: "I didn't go to college, I also went to school in the village. My grandfather taught me all the time. No one in our village has ever gone out to study."

Ms. Gao was even more surprised, and at the same time felt sorry for him: "Is this so? It's my fault. I shouldn't bring up this topic. But Xiao Ruan, don't be discouraged. There are still adult college entrance examinations in society. When you are free, you can go to relevant institutions to study for the exam, and you can also get a university diploma. If you are really in trouble, you can also ask us to apply for help with the Hope Project. You have made such a great contribution to the students in the village. We I hope the project will definitely help you."

Ruan Xishi nodded again and again: "Yes, I will."

Lu Ze knew that his brother was coming to the village today, but he didn't see his brother coming after waiting all morning. He was going to make lunch for Ruan Xishi, so he didn't go out to join in the fun.He cooked the meal at home, seeing that half an hour had passed since school ended, and Ruan Xi still hadn't come back, the food would be cold if he waited any longer.

Anyway, the home is not very far from the school, Lu Ze decided to go out to call Ruan Xishi and come back for dinner after careful consideration, so he closed the door and walked towards the school.

The village is very lively today. The sound of machinery and drums can be heard at the end of the village. There are also many people walking around in the village, carrying rice, vegetables and tables and tableware.

When you meet acquaintances on the road, say hello to each other and exchange a few words.

"Ah Ze, have you eaten yet? Where are you going now?"

Lu Ze pointed in the direction of the school and replied, "I haven't eaten yet after cooking, and I'm going to the school to call Xiao Ruan home for dinner. Where can Auntie carry so many things?"

"Hey, didn't a few distinguished guests come to the village. We are eating at the cafeteria at noon. The cooking is going on right now. We don't have enough manpower, so we have to help."

Lu Ze: "Well, then I won't hinder your work, I'll go first."

"By the way, Ah Ze, I saw that Shizai was chatting with those distinguished guests from the village at the stadium. I don't know what they were talking about. They stood there for a long time. I don't know if this will be finished. Maybe Shizai is at noon. I'm going to the cafeteria to have dinner with the guests."

Lu Ze raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, did Lu Zhao pass him and go directly to see Ruan Xishi?But he didn't tell Lu Zhao that he lived in Ruan Xishi's house?

Full of suspicion, he quickened his pace and walked towards the school.

In fact, he wronged Lu Zhao. Lu Zhao just had nothing to do. He went with Ms. Gao when she said she wanted to see the school in the village. When he met Ruan Xi, he didn't know that he was the one who took in his younger brother. An admirable and inspirational little teacher.

Until he saw his brother striding toward them.

Lu Zhao hasn't seen his younger brother for a long time. Now that he sees him, he feels that Lu Ze has changed a lot. He doesn't look like him from a distance. He seems to have turned darker a lot. His body is much stronger than before. Ordinary cheap clothes, nowhere does he look like the high-spirited overlord he used to be.

Remembering that Lu Ze repeatedly asked him to dress more formally on the phone so as not to be recognized as brothers, Lu Zhao felt a little funny. The two of them are really different now, and others will associate them together. That's weird.

Seeing his younger brother striding over, and noticing the surprised expression of the little teacher in front of him after seeing his younger brother, Lu Zhao had a guess in his heart, his younger brother lived in this little teacher's house in the village, right?

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Ze approached, everyone's attention turned to him. Although no one here knew his real identity except Lu Zhao, his outstanding figure and appearance among the villagers could not be ignored. Don't let people stare at him.

Lu Ze didn't show his timidity, and went straight to the crowd. He nodded to the village chief first, and said, "Uncle Gao, I'm here to find Xiao Ruan to go home for dinner."

The village chief felt that Lu Ze was irrelevant, so he didn't specifically introduce it to the people present. After all, Lu Ze's identity was a bit complicated, and it would be difficult to explain if a distinguished guest asked.He said: "Ah, before you know it, it's time for dinner. How about this, Shi Zai, you and Ah Ze go home for dinner first, and I will also take the guests to the cafeteria for dinner. If there is anything to do, we will talk about it in the afternoon after dinner. How about it?"

What he said later was to the guests.

Lu Zhao looked at his younger brother calmly, and when he heard the words, he just nodded and said it was all right. Ms. Gao said, "Why don't Mr. Ruan come with us to the cafeteria for dinner, and we can chat while eating."

Ruan Xishi leaned over to Lu Ze's side, and responded to Ms. Gao's invitation: "Don't bother, we have already cooked food at home, you can go and eat, don't worry about me, we can talk about it in the afternoon if there is anything else, I'm available anytime."

The village head said: "Then I will inform the people in the village in a while, and ask them to tell their children that there will be no classes in the afternoon, and they will have half a day off temporarily, so that you can go and see the site where the school is built."

Ruan Xishi nodded and said: "Yes, I will make up for this half-day class later, and I won't let the children miss it."

After hearing this, Ms. Gao gained a new understanding of Ruan Xishi's professionalism.

So the two groups parted ways at the stadium, Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze went home, and the village head took the guests to the entrance of the village.

On the way, Ms. Gao inquired about the situation of Ruan Xishi's family, and asked, "Does Mr. Ruan have other family members besides grandpa? Is that man just now his uncle or brother?"

The village chief didn't know how to explain it, so he had to prevaricate: "He and his grandfather are the only two people in his family. He is an abandoned baby picked up by his grandfather from the mountains. The grandfather and grandson depend on each other for life. The man just now is a distant relative of his. , only came to join him this year. It’s a bit of a coincidence that the relatives of Mr. Ruan’s family are also surnamed Lu, just like Mr. Lu, haha.”

Lu Zhao smiled and said, "The surname Lu is a very common surname after all."

The village chief also laughed: "Yeah, I just think it's a coincidence."

They chatted all the way to the cafeteria, where the smell of food was already coming from the cafeteria. It was a big pot of rice, and the villagers who came to help were busy in it.The workers of the construction team are already eating with rice plates. Some sit in the cafeteria and eat while watching TV, and some sit outside while eating and chatting. The villagers treated them very kindly.

A table was specially vacated in the cafeteria for the distinguished guests to eat. The village chief planned to entertain them for dinner, so he and the villagers who came to help went back to each house to eat their food, and came to clean up after eating.But Ms. Gao is more easy-going. Seeing that the village chief was standing all the time, she insisted on letting him sit down and eat together.

Today, the village specially asked the pork guy to kill a pig, and it was all used to entertain the distinguished guests and the construction team. The table looked like it had everything, such as fried pork liver with green peppers, braised pork, steamed pork ribs, stewed pork feet with peanuts, and fried pork offal with celery. , lean meat shredded radish, leek and pig blood soup, braised eggplant in oil, fried sour bamboo shoots, fried cabbage, a large table full of rural dishes, full of color, flavor and taste.

After Ms. Gao invited everyone to sit down, she took the lead to pick up the green cabbage with her chopsticks. The cabbage was grown by the villagers themselves. The cabbage sown after planting in the field is only the first harvest. The stalks and leaves are very tender. , with very little fiber and no oil absorption, peanut oil sticks to it, and it tastes smooth and smooth, just like eating noodles.

She took a sip, immediately gave a thumbs up, and boasted, "This little cabbage is delicious, please try it."

Lu Zhao also picked up the chopsticks, but what he picked up was not Chinese cabbage, but fried sour bamboo shoots. He is used to having an appetizer before dinner.

The sour bamboo shoots are also recently dug from the mountains and marinated. The tenderest bamboo shoot meat is used. It tastes crisp and sour, with a little spicy taste, which can stimulate the appetite.

While eating, he thought of the rural life that Lu Ze described to him, what kind of vegetables to catch fish, dig bamboo shoots and pick wild vegetables. At that time, he thought that Lu Ze was a curiosity hunter, but after experiencing it himself, he felt that it was really attractive.

Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze returned home, the food was still warm, Lu Ze immediately sent him to wash his hands and serve the meal, Ruan Xishi chatted with him while washing his hands, talking about the distinguished guests from the village.

"Did you see the tall man between them just now? He is the general manager of Lucai Group. I just found out that the boss of Lucai Group is surnamed Lu. It has the same surname as yours. What a coincidence."

Lu Ze stuffed his mouth with a piece of chicken, trying to divert his attention, and said frankly: "What's so coincidental, there are so many people with the surname Lu in the whole country, it's too late to eat, and the food is cold." .”

Ruan Xishi snorted, and obediently nibbled on his chicken.

After they had dinner, Ruan Xishi said that he didn't have to go to class in the afternoon, and that he might go with Ms. Gao and the others to choose a location for the school. Lu Ze thought that the two of them could take a good nap, but he didn't expect that the two of them had just cleaned up the dining table and the kitchen. I brought people over.

The village chief originally wanted to let people have a meal and rest before discussing school affairs, but Lu Zhao and Ms. Gao suddenly suggested to visit Mr. Ruan's house. Ms. Gao deeply sympathized with Ruan Xishi's experience and wanted to see it Seeing how his life is going well now, he agreed to go together, and the village head had to lead them the way.

When Ruan Xishi saw guests coming, she hurriedly welcomed them into the room, moving stools and serving tea and water, busy for a while.

Although Ms. Gao kept saying that they didn't need to greet them too much after eating and drinking, just sit down and chat casually, but Ruan Xishi insisted on going to the kitchen to boil water and make tea.

Lu Zhao has been looking at the situation in the house since he entered the door. The house is not big, and there are a few vegetable fields outside, where chickens and ducks are raised. The air is naturally a bit turbid, but because it is open air, it can still accept.The patio is about the size of a palm, with a kitchen on one side and a woodshed on the other, and a bamboo pole was set up to dry clothes.Clothes, large and small, were mixed together to hang together, some from Lu Ze and some from Ruan Xishi, in a disorderly manner, as if they had been washed and hung to dry.

It stands to reason that two big men should not wash their own clothes and hang their own clothes, why are they still mixed together?This kind of mixed situation is usually a couple or a family, right?

Entering the house, Lu Zhao continued to look at the two-bedroom apartment without showing any traces. The living room is very simple, with a sofa, a coffee table, and a TV cabinet. The dish was vaguely seen to be a meat dish, and it was just a dish.

Lu Zhao thought of the sumptuous and delicious meal he ate in the cafeteria just now, and thought that Lu Ze would eat like that every day in the village, so he would not want to leave. He didn't expect him to live in such a miserable life living in someone else's house.But also, the owner of this house, that is, the boy doesn't look like a child from a rich family. Although he looks good, he is just a helpless rural child. Why don't you stay here.

Could it be that his younger brother's sympathy began to flood again, and he wanted to be the boy's savior?

But what kind of savior would be able to eat and live together? Even Lu Ze's ex-boyfriend was not necessarily so considerate to Lu Ze during the time when he cared the most.

What's more... When Lu Zhao looked away, he caught sight of the two identical water glasses on the coffee table, and an idea began to take shape in his mind.

He left Lu Ze who came out of the bedroom to help in the kitchen. Lu Ze obviously noticed him too. The two brothers made eye contact quietly, and Lu Ze told the guests that he was going to help Ruan Xishi.

Ms. Gao was very sorry, and said repeatedly: "Oh, we just came over after eating, and there is nothing in our stomachs now, little brother, please tell Teacher Xiao Ruan to stop busy, we just sit and chat. Hey, I think we came at the wrong time, this should be your nap time, I was negligent."

She only remembered it when she saw Lu Ze coming out of a room similar to a bedroom, and felt very sorry for a moment.

After Lu Ze went out, Lu Zhao continued to look at the house. If the room that Lu Ze came out of just now was Lu Ze's bedroom, then the room opposite should belong to that boy. It's just that Lu Ze didn't close the door after he came out. habit, but the door to the other room was tightly shut.

Since it was nap time that bothered them, why wasn't the boy's bedroom door open?Didn't Lu Ze fully gain the boy's trust here?

If so, what about the clothes that were mixed and hung together outside?

Lu Zhao felt like Sherlock Holmes, the kind who turned on the gossip radar. He looked at Lu Ze's bedroom door, and although he really wanted to go there to find out, but now this is someone else's house, and he and Lu Ze also have a side. It's a bit unreasonable for a stranger who has no relationship with others to visit someone else's bedroom rashly.

He had no choice but to suppress his eager curiosity, signaled to Ms. Gao and the village chief for him to go out for a cigarette, and walked outside the house.

Lu Zhao stood in the corridor and continued to observe the clues of the house. The corridor was not long, with a staircase at one end, and there seemed to be a room beyond the stairs, which looked like a utility room where no one lived, and the bathroom at the other end.

Standing in the corridor, you can see the general situation in the kitchen through the kitchen window. The boy squatted in front of the stove to light the fire, and Lu Ze stood beside him rinsing the teapot, and vaguely heard the conversation between the two of them.

Lu Ze said: "Why don't we go to the town to buy a kettle, or if there is a guest at home, you have to light a fire to boil water and get yourself dirty."

The boy said: "It's not that there are guests coming every day, and it's just that there is no boiling water today. From now on, I will boil a pot every night, so that there is no need to boil it when the guests come to the house. And it is a waste of money to buy a kettle." , Boiling water is not tiring, and when it comes to boiling water in winter, you can still warm yourself by warming yourself.”

These conversations sounded normal among family members, but both Lu Zhao and Lu Ze knew that they were not a real family, so this kind of conversation seemed too intimate.

Could it be that the reason why Lu Ze stayed here and was unwilling to leave is actually...

I didn't know what happened in the kitchen again, only heard a short oops, and heard his brother said anxiously: "Where did you burn, let me see quickly."

Ruan Xishi accidentally touched sparks while picking up the fire, his fingers were burned, and he flinched reflexively. Lu Ze saw it, and Lu Ze quickly squatted down to show him the burned place, blowing and kneading .

"Does it hurt? Why are you so careless, and you say you don't want to buy a kettle? You can see that your fingers are burned. I don't think you need to buy not only a kettle, but also a gas stove. I won't even buy water for cooking at home." You are allowed to touch the fire."

Ruan Xishi was quite embarrassed, and whispered to Lu Ze: "It's okay, it's just a little burnt, and there is no blistering. I will be more careful in the future."

There was a bit of flattery and coquettishness in his tone, it was not at all as simple as roommates living under the same roof.

Lu Zhao was smoking a cigarette, staring in the direction of the kitchen, frowning slightly, not knowing what to think.

Lu Ze said again: "You are disobedient, I will punish you with a kiss."

Ruan Xishi said embarrassingly: "But there are guests at home, we can't make them wait too long, can we not kiss?"

Lu Ze bargained and said: "Then stay until the evening to kiss, but I will double it then."

The two of them spoke in a low voice, and the people in the living room should not be able to hear them, but Lu Zhao stood in the corridor and listened intentionally, so he got a rough idea.

Hearing that his brother said that he wanted a boy from his relatives at night, the little speculation in Lu Zhao's heart finally took shape. He said why his brother didn't want to go home.

It's just that he didn't know why his younger brother fell in love with playing this kind of innocent game with innocent rural boys, whether Lu Ze was serious or because he was hurt by love, so he also became a libertine who played with other people's feelings.

Lu Zhao frowned even tighter. He thought that as Lu Ze's elder brother, he was obliged to teach his younger brother the principles of life. To play with other people's feelings like this, especially when the other party was just an adult child. Those who don't know the world, if Lu Ze gets tired of playing and wants to break up, I'm afraid it will not be so simple, and maybe he will harm the boy for the rest of his life.

Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze came out with a hot water bottle and a cup. When they saw Lu Zhao smoking in the corridor, they suddenly felt guilty. Ruan Xishi lowered his head and asked, "Why doesn't Mr. Lu just sit in the room, how tired you are standing here."

Lu Zhao glared at his younger brother viciously at a place that Ruan Xishi couldn't see, Lu Ze was inexplicably stared at by him, and looked back at him innocently.Lu Zhao softened his tone and replied, "You don't mind if I come out to smoke a cigarette?"

Ruan Xishi saw that he was indeed holding a cigarette butt in his hand, she quickly shook her head and said, "I don't mind, I'll just clean it when the time comes."

Seeing the boy's humble and polite look, Lu Zhao knew that it must be his brother's bad idea to get the two of them together. Such a good boy would be murdered. Is Lu Ze still a man?

Lu Ze didn't know why his brother kept looking at him hostilely until they left home to choose a site for the school, and what he did wrong. Could it be that he was gay, did his brother know from the first day?

Ruan Xishi went with the village head and Ms. Gao to choose a site for the Hope Primary School in the village. Lu Ze stayed at home to pack up his things. Lu Zhao followed them halfway and said temporarily that he wanted to visit the construction team. The village head and Gao The lady remembered that his mission today was to see the road construction situation, so she asked him to do it first, and they just went to see the ground.

Lu Zhao returned to the car, took out his mobile phone and called his brother, and the call was connected quickly. He couldn't help but get angry when he heard his brother's voice now, and asked, "What are you and that boy?" relation?"

Lu Ze responded frankly: "It's the relationship you see."

Lu Zhao thought to himself that this bastard didn't even bother to hide it, the scumbag is really a scumbag.

"You play with other people's feelings like this, Lu Ze, do you still have the heart? You can't find an innocent person to take revenge just because you suffered a loss of feelings from others. It's wrong for you to do this. Have you done anything for me? The boy's future has been considered, if you leave here one day, how will he face a life without you alone, how can he raise his head in the village?"

Hearing his brother's scolding, Lu Ze was in a daze, and explained: "Brother, what are you talking about? Why am I playing with other people's feelings? I really like Xiao Ruan."

Lu Zhao wanted to say something, but was suddenly blocked by his words, and forgot what he wanted to say: "You! You like him? Are you serious?"

Lu Ze said helplessly: "Brother, I have been with you for so many years, don't you understand my character? If I am a scum like you said, would I still escape to the deep mountains and wild forests to treat emotional injuries? "

Lu Zhao: "What if you are so stimulated that you become abnormal?"

Lu Ze: "I didn't. I really fell in love with him. The kind of love that develops over time is not just a whim."

Lu Zhao: "But you will leave here one day, what are you going to do then?"

Lu Ze: "I have already decided to take him away. Anyway, he has no relatives here, and his only responsibility is to teach the children. But now the Hope Primary School has also started to be established. When the village builds roads and builds the primary school, I will be able to do it without any problems." Take him away without hesitation."

Lu Zhao was stunned: Shan Xing, "So you tried every means to get us to build roads and schools for the village because of this purpose. I really thought you wanted to do good deeds."

Lu Ze slyly said: "It's not a matter of killing two birds with one stone. You see, because our group built roads for the village, the branch immediately gained word of mouth. I don't know how much praise and support it has received from the government. The money for building roads and schools should be considered Prepay the dowry for my future marriage. You see, if I marry a well-matched daughter-in-law, the dowry will cost at least tens of millions, but now I use the dowry money to do good deeds. The company benefits, I benefit, and the villagers benefit. Three birds with one stone , what a bargain."

Lu Zhao rubbed his temple helplessly: "Have you told the boy about this? Will he be willing? Will our parents agree?"

Lu Ze: "I will find a suitable time to tell him. As for the parents, please give them a vaccination first, but I believe that with Xiaoruan's behavior, parents will like him .”

Lu Zhao: "Okay, this is your own business, you can handle it yourself, don't leave anyone else talking, I will let you talk about it with your parents, but you have to deal with it quickly, your vacation time is limited."

Lu Ze replied: "I know it in my heart, hey, if you can't go home right now, I would like to pick some vegetables grown by our family for you to take home for your parents to eat. We grow pure natural and pollution-free vegetables. Hard to find in the city."

Lu Zhao laughed: "Come on, you're blowing it up, let's talk about it next time, I won't be back at the headquarters for a few days."

Lu Ze: "Okay, brother, pay attention to safety on the way back, and say hello to my parents for me."
