Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 63 I don’t study humanoid pigs

After arriving at the place mentioned by Lai Hongtu's friend, Zhan Ping quickly regretted it. A group of middle-aged people with an average age of forty came over and shook hands with Lai Hongtu. Zhan Ping didn't even know what to call them.

After all, Zhan Ping was too embarrassed to wait for her elders to greet her, so she had to go all out and call her elder brother all the time, asking because he was young and her eyes were dull.

After Zhan Ping called her brother, someone looked at her with admiration: "This is the child brought by Hongtu. He has such a good personality."

Lai Hongtu smiled: "She is pretending to be a tiger at home and a cat outside. In this way, I will take her around the neighborhood. If the child can't sit still, you can play first."

The environment of the private room in the farm is no better than that in the city. It is still early for dinner. There are people smoking and playing cards in the private room. They are also very big, so I asked Lai Hongtu to take Zhan Ping to play, and call them after the food is served.

Zhan Ping followed Lai Hongtu out. She said with some dissatisfaction: "Hey, old nerve, can you stop calling me a kid?"

Lai Hongtu picked up a branch and went to tease the chickens raised in the farm: "Aren't you just a child?"

"I'm not. If it weren't for you being Manman's uncle and we met elsewhere, would you treat me as a child? With the age difference between us, can we still be considered equals?"

"But now you have to follow Manman and call me uncle." Lai Hongtu turned to look at Zhan Pingxiao, pointed at her with a branch and teased: "Only children care about this."

Zhan Ping was still about to argue, but Lai Hongtu saw an old lady wearing a bib coming out of a box, so he stopped her and asked her a few questions, wondering if there was any good shady place nearby.

Zhan Ping didn't hear what the aunt said to Lai Hongtu, but Lai Hongtu waved to Zhan Ping after hearing it, and Zhan Ping followed him to a small road with her lips curled up.

The country roads were full of dead branches and gravel, making it difficult to walk, and Zhan Ping didn't see any buildings nearby except the farm.

Zhan Ping became more and more timid as she walked deeper into the woods. She folded her arms and pretended to be calm: "Where are you going, old nerve? Are you going to sell me?"

"How much can you sell it for?"

"Then you're not going to do any experiments on me, are you?"

"I am engaged in serious research, not humanoid pigs."

"you……"

It was rare for Zhan Ping to suffer in the field of verbal sparring. The only one who could make her speechless was Lai Hongtu.

Lai Hongtu's worries before going out were reasonable. Although Zhan Ping was not very afraid of hardship, she was not used to walking on mountain roads. On this uneven ground, she walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow. She had practiced dancing for more than ten years. For the first time, she suspected that her limbs were uncoordinated.

When Lai Hongtu saw her riding a bicycle when she arrived, he thought she could still be as strong as before, so he took big steps and soon left Zhan Ping behind.

Zhan Ping panted and followed, her left foot stepped on a large stone that was half in the soil. As soon as the stone rolled out, she fell to the ground.

"Ah..." Zhan Ping screamed in pain. She held her head on the ground and felt a little dizzy.

Lai Hongtu heard the loud noise, turned around and saw Zhan Ping's funny posture, and hurriedly ran back to help her up: "This is not a child? She can't even walk, how about it? Did you fall somewhere?"

"My jaw hurts..." Zhan Ping fell forward and hit her chin on the ground. The pain made her want to cry.She endured the pain and stretched out her hand towards Lai Hongtu: "Did you bring a mirror? Show me your chin. Am I disfigured?"

"You only care about your face." Lai Hongtu gently pinched Zhan Ping's chin with his thumb and index finger, raised it and checked it: "It's a little red and stained with dust, but the skin is not even broken, don't worry."

Lai Hongtu put down his hand, and Zhan Ping lowered his head to clean the dust on his body. He shouldn't have worn a white skirt to go out today. He originally thought that it was rare to come to the farm and show off his art, but he didn't expect that it would only make the dust on his body more conspicuous. Let her be even more embarrassing when she eats later.

Zhan Ping felt a little aggrieved and wanted to cry even more now.

Lai Hongtu couldn't bear to see her like this, and asked in a gentle tone: "Is there any other injury? Is your foot not twisted?"

Zhan Ping lowered her head, raised one foot and turned around: "It's okay."

Lai Hongtu was obviously relieved: "As long as your feet are fine."

Zhan Ping felt something was wrong: "Why do you care about your feet?"

"Because if you sprain your ankle, we won't be able to go back today unless you can ride with your hands." Lai Hongtu thought Zhan Ping's question was stupid.

Zhan Ping said "Oh", but she felt that it was not this question that made her stupid, but that she was too honest.

Zhan Ping reached out and grabbed Lai Hongtu's sleeve, looking weak and frightened. She raised her face and asked expectantly: "If I sprain my ankle, will you carry me back?"

"Your clothes are so dirty that you want to dirty my clothes? If you are under 120 catties, I will try to see if I can carry it back for you."

"Then I'll twist it now."

"Hey, hey, what are you thinking about all day long? You're lazy at this point."

"I'm not lazy." Zhan Ping felt bored and walked forward alone.

As she walked, Zhan Ping suddenly smelled the pleasant fragrance of osmanthus. She searched for the smell and strode forward.

When we reached the end of the path, the world in front of us suddenly opened up. The osmanthus trees were in full bloom, exuding a rich and sweet smell.

Zhan Ping thought she had discovered the treasure, and came back and waved to Lai Hongtu: "Come on, come on, look at the many sweet-scented osmanthus trees here, who planted them?"

"Owner of the farm," Lai Hongtu was not surprised at all and walked slowly over with his hands behind his back: "The lady just said that they have a small workshop and produce some osmanthus cakes and osmanthus candies for sale in the market every year."

"So you brought me here specifically?" Zhan Ping nodded with satisfaction: "This is the atmosphere for a date. Internet cafes are not a place for dates."

"Are you going to bring that boy Wu Bo with you next time?"

"Why do you keep talking about him? I said you and I...do we look like we are dating now?"

Zhan Ping dared to say anything, but Lai Hongtu stepped back several meters because of her bold words and distanced himself from her: "This is just an outing between us."

The vigilance and rejection shown by Lai Hongtu disappointed Zhan Ping.

After all, she was a little girl, and it was not easy for her to have a romantic interest in someone. She didn't want the seeds of her hope to be strangled before they could grow.

But this was the first time Zhan Ping had tasted this feeling. She had just started to like being with a person of the opposite sex every day, and liked to be cared for and taken care of. Zhan Ping didn't know how to express it and carry it out more deeply.

Forget it, it doesn't matter, their shared life has just begun. Anyway, Lai Hongtu doesn't have anyone he likes right now, and there are more opportunities for her to take action.
