Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 294
I don't know whether that Chen Jin was afraid of affecting his image or what, but he didn't even taste it.All those melons went into the stomachs of a group of guards, and Chen Guan ate most of them by himself.

"This melon is so delicious." Chen Guan said while stroking his belly.

Others also praised it one after another.

Cai Bai noticed that Chen Jin didn't taste it, and said to Li Zhu, "Where's the tea? This Mr. Chen doesn't like melons."

Li Zhu took out the key of the aunt's house and threw it in front of Cai Bai: "Please go and boil the pot of water."

Cai Qing stood up and said, "I'll go."

Li Zhu also got up: "I remembered, there is a live spring in front of my house, the villagers all go here to fetch water to eat, you can try it." After speaking, Li Zhu went to fetch a bucket of spring water, Cai Qing helped to carry it over.These people drank a bowl and had a good time.Chen Jinxu was thirsty, so he finally drank some, but he washed her new dishes several times.

"Go." Chen Jin ordered everyone again after drinking the water.Chen Guan is not easy to disobey.Before leaving, he teased Xiaobai for a while, and abducted Li Zhu's two watermelons along the way.

Chen Jin asked someone to leave a piece of silver.Li Zhu didn't refuse, and accepted it calmly. Her watermelon can also be sold for money.

Cai Bai was shocked, and said in a tone of hatred, "You, how can you accept his money?"

Li Zhu casually said: "I'm just thinking about their reputation. This is called not taking the common people's needles and thread, and doing nothing wrong with others. He gains fame and I get rich. Isn't that good? Do you understand?" Cai Bai was at a loss for words, hummed softly, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Cai Qing looked at Li Zhu and said, "Be careful when you are alone. If something goes wrong, run to the village, where there are more people."

Li Zhu nodded with a smile.Then he pointed to the remaining half of the watermelon on the table and said, "Come on, let's share it."

Cai Qing was not polite either.He took the knife and started cutting the melon.His movements are skillful, his expression is serene, his fingers are slender and powerful, is this a quiet and handsome man?Li Zhu looked at him and couldn't help being slightly absent-minded.

After Cai Qing finished cutting the melon, he sat down opposite Li Zhu. The two of them didn't speak for a while, and slowly tasted the watermelon.The noise outside the house was gone, only Cicada was still screaming high and low.

"You—" Cai Qing suddenly remembered something, and called out abruptly, which startled Li Zhu.

Cai Qing said embarrassingly: "I just want to say that this watermelon is cold in nature, so it's best not to eat too much."

Li Zhu understood immediately, even she forgot about it.

"Oh, I'll just eat this one." Although the central air-conditioning-like warm man is criticized, but when he warms himself, it is quite heart-warming.

"Then I'll go back." Cai Qing stood up and said goodbye.

Li Zhu sent him out, and when the two came outside, they saw a surprising scene.

Zheng Yan, Huang Yu, and Ning Ximai were squatting next to her family's vegetable garden, ferociously gnawing watermelon.

Zheng Yan ate so juicy that when he saw Li Zhu, he yelled inarticulately: "Give me the money, give me the money."

Li Zhu stared at the three people and asked, "Where did you hide just now?"

Topaz gnawed on the melon while pointing to the roof.

Li Zhu looked up and saw that her house was indeed covered with a thick layer of thatched felt, because the person who built the house said that it would be cooler in summer if it was covered with thatch.

Li Zhu's eyes quickly fell on Ning Ximai's face, he was also eating watermelon, his eating was ferocious yet elegant.

Seeing his appearance, Li Zhu couldn't help but sarcastically said, "I thought you were fearless, why did you hide when you heard the Chen brothers were coming?"

Ning Ximai wiped his mouth lightly, and said, "It's called a good man who doesn't suffer in front of his eyes. I went to hide in his territory, and it's the same when he goes to mine."

"I see." Li Zhu continued.
