There's a rough guy next door to my house

Chapter 24

Until the evening, Baixu had been busy in the field all day, her arms and legs were a little heavy.

She looked at the half-planted field, and finally had a smile on her face.

"Xiaobai." A call came from behind, and Baixu turned his head to go.

"Brother?" Bai Xu patted the dirt on her body, picked up a hoe and walked down the hillside.

"Have you finished your work? It's such a hot day, sow the seeds yourself."

Bai Hongyu took over the hoe without any hassle. He called his uncle and found out that Bai Xu was sowing seeds on Nanshan.

It's really not easy, a good college student actually wants to farm the land by himself.

"It's okay, I'm not very tired." After all, it's a sandy land. Once the seeds are thrown, the soil is covered, and there is no need to sprinkle fertilizers. It is still very simple.

Otherwise, she couldn't have finished half of the work in one day.

"Are you looking for something with me?" Bai Xu took off her hat to fan herself, and she turned to look at Bai Hongyu.

Generally, he won't look for her if it's okay.

Bai Hongyu smiled honestly, touched his head, and stated his purpose directly and clearly, "Isn't it going to be 520 soon? I'm going to give your sister-in-law a gift, but I don't know what to choose? I want you to accompany me to the county seat to choose."

He had a good relationship with Bai Xu when he was young, and he didn't bother to hide it.

Bai Xu raised her eyebrows, showing a playful expression, "Oh, that's how it is."

No wonder.

Bai Hongyu was embarrassed by her look, "Tsk, just ask if you can do it?"

Mainly because of the things he gave before, his fiancée detested him, woo woo woo (┯_┯).

Bai Xu quickly nodded and smiled slightly, "Brother, why don't you buy online?"

Isn't online shopping more options?The same is true of their small county town.

Bai Hongyu naturally knew, so he lowered his head a little ashamedly, and his momentum was two points weaker.

"The courier is too late. I just remembered it yesterday."

There are still three days until 520. After all, the first 520 after their engagement, he only found out when watching the small video last night, so he must choose carefully for his own Tongtong.

"Okay, okay, when shall we go?"

This job must be helped, Tie Shuhua met true love in the first encounter, she must be a good helper in the future.

Bai Xu smiled lightly, secretly happy for them.

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are fine." Bai Hongyu put the decision in Bai Xu's hands and watched her time.

"And your second aunt's birthday is just a few days away, so I bought it together by the way."

Bai Xu thought about it, she should be able to finish working in the field tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.

So, she made an appointment with Bai Hongyu to go to the city together the day after tomorrow.

Bai Hongyu sent Bai Xu to the door of his house and left, but refused to ask him to stay for dinner.

When Bai Xu got home, she washed her hair and took a shower before going downstairs for dinner.

It was dusk, and the lights in the kitchen shone brightly on a family of three.

Bang bang bang!
Someone was knocking on the door, and Bai Dongshan glanced out with a bowl in his hand.

Bai Xu had finished eating, she wiped the oil stains on her little mouth, "Let me go and have a look."

She opened the door of her house, and now it was getting dark, and it was pitch black outside, "Who is it?"

"Me!" Huo Yi walked into Bai Xu's sight, holding a basket of herbs in his hand, still with a fierce expression on his face.

"Huh? Is there anything I can do with my dad?" Bai Xu's heart tightened, and she looked at him in confusion. Knocking on the door so late, is she looking for her dad?

"No, I'm looking for you." Huo Yi tried his best not to be so nervous, so he always spoke two words.

He stared at the white catkins in front of him, and the dim light illuminated her palm-sized face, her soft hair was draped behind her head, and her big eyes were full of doubts.

"Looking for me?" Bai Xu didn't understand why she was looking for her.

Huo Yi handed over a basket of herbs in his hand, and there was a trace of concern in his blunt words.

"This is for you. It's hyssop. Crush it and apply it on your hands to help your hands recover."

this?Bai Xu was unavoidably surprised.

"Ah? I can't take it." She quickly waved her hand, wondering what he was doing.

Could there be some misunderstanding?
No charge?That won't work, Huo Yi put the basket in front of her, turned around and left.

"Hey!" Bai Xu went out to chase after two steps, who knew that the man ran faster than a dog, the black figure merged with the night, and disappeared in an instant.

Bai Xu sighed, lowered her head, picked up the basket on the ground, and closed the door again.

Back in the kitchen, Liu Xiao asked, "Who is it?"

"Just... Huo Yi next door." Bai Xu sat down in a daze.

She is not familiar with him, so after thinking about her recent actions, there seems to be nothing out of the ordinary.

Bai Dongshan picked up the herbs in the basket, and then frowned, "He brought it to you? What is this?"

Bai Xu nodded, and opened her mouth in embarrassment.

"What hyssop are you talking about, let me apply it to my hands, and I will return it to him in the morning."

She was really embarrassed to tell her parents about this kind of thing, but it's good to say it, so as not to cause any misunderstanding later.

Bai Dongshan didn't react, and laughed hehehe.

"Is he so caring? I'll find herbs for you."

Liu Xiao immediately raised his hand and patted him, his face changed, "You idiot, who would give your daughter something for no reason, or it's just to get her idea, or it's just out of good intentions."

This child Huo Yi...how can she put it, it's not that she dislikes it, it's just that she is weird.

What?Bai Dongshan immediately changed his face, "No way?"

He thinks that Huo Yi is quite serious, and after so many years of contact, he is not a dubious person, but he has never been married.

not good!Bai Dongshan suddenly realized that it was because he hadn't been in contact with women for so many years, what if he fell in love with his daughter.

His face darkened a lot, Liu Xiao twitched his mouth, pulled his clothes and told him, "Don't think too much, that kid Huo Yi is fine, maybe there is some misunderstanding. Why don't you secretly hint The hint is that Xiaobai has a boyfriend."

Xiaobai always wanted to go to the big city. Although Huo Yi was good in all aspects, Liu Xiao didn't think about it, and always felt a little inappropriate.

She was just afraid that her man would think too much and would have conflicts with Huo Yi. Since they are neighbors, they shouldn't be deadlocked.

"That's fine." Bai Dongshan let go of his clenched fist, and there was a strange color in his eyes.

Well, better not be like this.

Bai Xu couldn't figure it out either, so she put the basket aside for now, let's talk about it tomorrow.

After washing the dishes, she just went upstairs and sat down, turned on the computer, and Fetion popped up a friend request.

Bai Xu clicked on it, and it really was Huo Yi.

She chose to pass this time.

Before she put down her phone, a photo was sent from the other side.

The leaves of her rose vine, clean and free from any trace of aphids.

The corner of her mouth raised slightly, this person is really interesting.

"Thank you!" Bai Xu sent two words, then closed her hand, ready to busy with her affairs.

She still has two papers to finish, and it's all money.

But several messages came from Fetion one after another, she bit the corner of her mouth, picked it up and shook it.

"You are welcome"

"Remember to apply hyssop to your hands, the effect is very good"

"Tell me when you're done"

Bai Xu's fingernails tapped on the phone, and her eyes fell on the message he sent.

In order to avoid future troubles, she decided to open the skylight to him and speak frankly.

"Is there some misunderstanding between you and me? Why did you help me?"

Anyway, they were all facing the phone, so Bai Xu wasn't embarrassed, so she directly pointed it out to him.

She didn't even say a few words to him, wondering why he would help her.

"What's the misunderstanding? Isn't Uncle Bai very worried about your hands? I went up the mountain today and saw hyssop and dug some back by the way."

Next door, Huo Yi was holding the phone, sitting on a chair with reddish ears, his eyes shining like obsidian were staring at the screen.

He had a despicable idea in his heart, but he didn't dare to expose it. Bai Xu looked like the kind of upright person, and she definitely didn't like an overly profligate temperament.

Although he likes Bai Xu, after knowing that she has a boyfriend, he has restrained himself, even though he feels very uncomfortable.

He had no other purpose in giving her hyssop, just for her own good, and hoped that her hand would recover soon.

Bai Xu's eyes flickered, was it really because of her father?Then it's because she thinks too much.

"Oh, thank you then. But you don't have to send me anything in the future, I know my hands myself."

After speaking, Bai Xu transferred 500 yuan to him, which was regarded as the money to buy his herbs.

Fetion reminded Bai Xu that the opposite party directly took the money, and Bai Xu felt better instantly.

Why Huo Yi wanted money was because he had guessed what Bai Xu was thinking, he had to accept the money, in order to stabilize Bai Xu, and also for the future development.

"There's too much money, I'll dig you some more next time I'm free. Don't worry, I just treat you like a girl."

This time, Bai Xu felt embarrassed.

"...Thank you." She replied casually, touched her hot face, and threw the phone on the bed.

Huo Yi didn't reply anymore, but just read through the chat history again, and then clicked on Bai Xu's circle of friends.

Bai Xu's circle of friends has been set up for half a year. It can be seen that in the past month or so, there is no new content. Moving forward, there are some popular science related to medicine.

Scrolling up again, it is a photo of her with her parents and brother during the Chinese New Year, and a back view of her in a red coat. I don’t know if her brother took it for her. It’s very good-looking, thin and tall , with long hair combed into a ponytail.

Huo Yi saved it without hesitation, and then set the picture of her back as the background of the chat record with her.

Suppressing the throbbing in his chest, from now on, he and Bai Xu can only be ordinary neighbors.

Early the next morning, Bai Xu got up, exercised first, then washed and went downstairs.

Her hands haven't recovered much, so she basically doesn't have to cook.

People in the countryside get up early, and Bai Dongshan has been active in the yard twice. Today is also a busy day for him, and he has to go out to see a doctor.

After Liu Xiao washed up, he went into the kitchen to cook for his family.

After breakfast, Bai Xu still ran towards the sandy land of Nanshan.

If she hadn't drank a glass of spiritual spring water before going to bed yesterday, she probably wouldn't be able to lift her arms today.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sun is not up now, she starts work earlier and works first.

The batch of seedlings in the field will have to ask someone to water her in a few days.

Just when Baixu took time to rest, she looked up at the weather and triggered the passive weather skill.

Why is it raining tonight?Bai Xu looked at the weather who suddenly changed his face.

It doesn't matter if it rains, her seeds can grow quickly even when it rains.

But when Baixu stood up to sow the seeds again, she thought of the people who went up the mountain yesterday, and wondered if they had come down the mountain.

It's going to rain for a long time tonight.

At night, the crackling raindrops hit the ground, and Bai Xu was woken up in bed.

She turned over, a flash of thunder flashed, and the heavy rain became more and more wanton. If she hadn't slept well, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep all night.

Even when I woke up in the morning, the sky was still drizzled, and the temperature in the air dropped a bit.

She was thinking, if she didn't go to the county with her brother today, it would be a good time to dig for fungus, but tomorrow is fine, more fungus will definitely grow up.

Liu Xiao steamed tender eggs for Bai Xu and placed them in front of her, then took two big steamed buns for her from the pot, and asked with a smile,
"Xiaobai, you want to go to the county with Hongyu?"

"That's right." Bai Xu nodded, blew on the steamed stuffed bun, took a big bite, and ended up scalding it for her.

"Hiss... ha... hiss!" Bai Xu couldn't bear to spit it out, and after rolling it in her mouth twice, she still swallowed it, even tears were scorched out by her.

Liu Xiao hurriedly handed her the honey water, and gave her an annoyed look.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, it's like someone is robbing you."

Silly boy, there are some buns that are not hot just out of the pan.

Bai Xu shook her head, looked around, "Mom, where's my dad?"

"I ate and went out." Liu Xiao took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, looked at her daughter, and said, "Isn't your second aunt turning 50 in a few days? She doesn't do much, but she invited some of her own family A relative went over for dinner.

Look, if you go to the county seat today, if there is a suitable gift, I will choose it for your second aunt. "

She didn't think of what to give as a gift, and her second aunt would definitely not accept the red envelope.

Their sister-in-law has never blushed in the past few decades, and she is grateful to Second Aunt Bai.

"Okay." Bai Xu also had the same idea, but she didn't expect to coincide with her mother.

She nodded, and it happened that Bai Hongyu sent her a message on Fetion, asking if she had eaten yet?Do you want to come pick her up?

Bai Xu replied to him, and quickly ate his breakfast.

It seemed that her brother was already waiting for her.

"Bring your umbrella." Bai Xu went out with a small backpack on her back, and Liu Xiao quickly handed her the umbrella.

Smelly boy, I really want to be beaten.

Bai Xu took the umbrella and felt the light rain in the sky, there was no need to open an umbrella at all.

She trotted all the way to the village. The roads in the village are gravel roads that everyone happened to rush on. The tricycle is fine, but a small car will destroy the road, so the cars of every household are parked at the entrance of the village. over there.

Seeing Bai Xu's figure appearing in the parking lot, Bai Hongyu stuck out his head and waved to her, "Wait for me there, I'll drive over."

There are puddles here so as not to get her shoes dirty.

Bai Hongyu himself has a small black car, which is not expensive, mainly for the convenience of family travel.
