Chapter 50 The Warmth of Home
Shen Qiuqiu didn't eat breakfast, and his stomach was already growling with hunger.

She greeted Shen Jiashu and went to the bathroom to wash up.

In the previous summer, she liked to squat under the faucet and wash her face with cool well water.

After the beginning of autumn, the weather was getting cooler, and Grandma Shen didn't allow her to wash her face with cold water anymore.

The family installed solar energy a few years ago, so whenever the sun is out, there is hot water, which is very convenient.

After washing my face and coming out, the food was also set.

Only Grandma Shen, Shen Jiashu and Song Na were at the dinner table.

Shen Qiuqiu looked around and asked suspiciously, "Grandma, where are my grandpa and my sister-in-law?"

Grandma Shen served her a bowl of pumpkin soup, and said with a smile: "Zhou Dingwei's house was digging the ground today, and your grandfather brought your sister-in-law to help."

Zhou Dingwei didn't have much money in his hands, and only planned to plant three acres of Zhangji strawberries.

His family also has a piece of land at the foot of Laodong Mountain. They just harvested sweet potatoes a few days ago, which happened to be used to grow strawberries.

The two lands are close to each other, so it will be convenient to take care of them in the future.

Zhou Dingwei didn't call for help, and he finished the three acres of land by himself in a day or two.

It was Grandpa Shen who got up early and saw him passing by the house with a hoe on his shoulders, and guessed that he might be digging the ground, so he called Shen Xiu to help.

This is the case in the countryside. Everything is about you coming and going, helping each other.

Shen Qiuqiu nodded, "Well, I should help. I'll go in the afternoon too."

She was really hungry. While talking, she picked up the bowl and drank a big mouthful of golden pumpkin soup.

The glutinous old pumpkin melts in the mouth, sweet and delicious.

Feeling a circle of pumpkin pulp that had melted into the soup sticking to his mouth, Shen Qiuqiu stuck out his tongue and licked it off bit by bit.

Seeing her childish movements, Grandma Shen couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Only three acres of land, they can finish it in one day today. You have been exhausted for the past two days, so you should rest at home."

Shen Qiuqiu didn't argue, nodded and said: "Okay, it just so happens that Xiaoshu is back, I'll play games with him at home this afternoon."

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Thinking of the experience of playing with him during the Mid-Autumn Festival last time, Shen Jiashu, who was eating with a bowl, suddenly coughed violently, almost choking on the rice in his mouth.

After recovering, Shen Jiashu said tactfully, "Sister, why don't you play by yourself, I have a lot of homework."

Shen Qiuqiu knew that he was being rejected.

She snorted softly, "Okay, you should hurry up today and tomorrow, and finish your homework; come to work with us the day after tomorrow."

"..."

Shen Jiashu buried his head in cooking, thinking whether it was more tiring to work in the fields, or to play games with his sister.

After thinking about it for about three seconds, he nodded very seriously, "Okay, I'll go to the field with you the day after tomorrow."

Shen Qiuqiu was so angry that she didn't want to talk to him.

After lunch, Shen Qiuqiu lay comfortably on the recliner, reading a novel with his mobile phone in his arms, and supervised Shen Jiashu's homework by the way.

On the stone table in the yard, Shen Jiashu immersed himself in his math papers; Song Na was sitting opposite him, reviewing her third-year English textbook.

The learning atmosphere is very strong, except for Shen Qiuqiu.

She was reading the novel vigorously, and the WeChat notification tone "Ding Dong" and "Ding Dong" kept ringing.

Clicking on it, it was Li Mao who made a fuss in the WeChat group of [Taoyuan Three Sisters].

[Li Mao: Ahhh! 】

[Li Mao: I just got home last night, and my mother arranged a blind date for me at noon today. 】

[Li Mao: I'm only 24!Still a baby, why do you want to go on a blind date? ! 】

[Li Mao: It’s okay to go on a blind date, why can’t you arrange a normal person? ! 】

[Li Mao: The man who had dinner with me at noon today is said to be only 27 years old, but he is already bald. 】

[Li Mao: It's pitiful to be bald at such a young age. I don't discriminate against him.He also had a marriage experience; it is quite pitiful to get divorced at a young age, and I don't discriminate against him.But when we met at noon, he smiled at me, with a green leek on his big yellow teeth! 】

[Li Mao: We haven't eaten lunch yet, why does he have leeks on his teeth? ! 】

[Zhang Meng: ...]

[Zhang Meng: Are leeks the point?And what's wrong with the leeks, just give him a toothpick to pick it off, it's not semi-permanent. 】

[Li Mao: ...Maybe my brain has a twitch, and I inexplicably made up the picture of kissing him, and then I feel bad all over. 】

【Zhang Meng: [Black question mark face]】

[Zhang Meng: You are not thinking like a normal person, you can't blame that innocent bald man. 】

After watching the conversation between the two of them, Shen Qiuqiu felt a little complicated.

Although Li Mao was careless on the surface, he must be feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

She silently typed to ask for follow-up.

[Zhizhi Taotao Qiuqiu: What happened next? 】

[Li Mao: Later, I was really embarrassed, so I made excuses and ran away.My mother called and scolded me hard. 】

[Li Mao: Right now I am wandering alone in the shopping mall, and I dare not go home for fear that my mother will break my leg. 】

[Li Mao: Sometimes, I really suspect that I am not my mother's own.She introduced such a man to me, what is she trying to do? 】

Zhang Meng probably also saw that she was in a bad mood, so she started to change the subject.

[Zhang Meng: Why do you think so much, you have to have a good time during the short holiday.Walk!Let's go surfing together! 】

[Zhang Meng: Find an island, catch the sea, surf, and eat seafood. 】

[Li Mao: OK!This can be.Where to go, I'll book a ticket right away. 】

[Zhizhi Taotao Qiuqiu: [Picture] [Picture] [Picture]]

Shen Qiuqiu couldn't help pouring cold water on the two of them, and posted a few photos in the group of small long dummy crowding people and eating dumplings by the sea.

【Li Mao: Hey...】

[Zhang Meng: Hey...]

Then Shen Qiuqiu sent another photo of the beautiful scenery of Qinghe Village.

[Zhizhi Taotao Qiuqiu: [Picture] Welcome to Qinghe Village. 】

She also rolled up her sleeves and took a picture of her biceps.

[Zhizhi Taotao Qiuqiu: [Picture] Come, I will take you to practice biceps together. 】

Shen Jiashu was very speechless watching from the side, and couldn't help complaining, "Sister, I've only seen those who show off their waistcoats, but never those who show off their biceps."

Shen Qiuqiu looked up at the sky, shook his feet and didn't speak.

Li Mao was afraid that staying at home would affect the harmony of the family, so he packed his luggage that afternoon and came to join Shen Qiuqiu.

Her hometown is also in Southern Province, not very far from Shen Qiuqiu's place, it takes more than three hours to drive there.

Zhang Meng's hometown is in other provinces, so it's troublesome to go alone, so I didn't come together this time.

Grandma Shen heard that Li Mao was coming, so she was going to catch chickens in the chicken coop in the backyard.

Shen Qiuqiu hurriedly stopped him, "Grandma, there are not many chickens left at home, let's keep them for laying eggs. There are still a few catties of ribs frozen in the refrigerator, let's just stew the ribs and eat them."

Grandma Shen was not happy, "That's okay, if there are guests at home, you have to kill chickens to entertain them.

I remember that Xiao Limao also likes to eat wild mushrooms. You can take out the dried wild mushrooms and soak them in water, just to use them to stew chicken soup. "

Shen Qiuqiu couldn't hold back the old lady, so she obediently went to get dried wild mushrooms.

Li Mao drove here by himself, and arrived at Qinghe Village before six o'clock, just in time for dinner.

She parked the car at the entrance of the small courtyard, and smelled the strong smell of food before entering the door.

In order to entertain her, Grandma Shen cooked a table of delicious dishes.

Delicious stewed chicken soup with wild mushrooms, fragrant fried bacon with garlic sprouts, spicy and delicious cold lotus root slices, crisp and refreshing pickled radish...

Looking at the table full of hot soups and Grandma Shen's amiable smiling face, Li Mao felt he was healed.

She put her arms around Shen Qiuqiu's shoulders, and said emotionally, "Well... so touched, I feel the warmth of home."
