Shang Zhi was slightly stunned, and then he knew why he accepted the watermelon to taste it for her.

Xue Shenzhi did not seriously want to be polite.

She looked at Xue Shenzhi's face with a faint smile, and her heart was sore and astringent.

"This is the first time I have seen this melon. Let's try it to see if it is as sweet as you said." Shang Zhi said with a smile, then turned around and entered the room.

Xue Shenzhi looked at her happy appearance, the smile on her lips became deeper and her eyes became softer. She walked with her into the house.

Wash the branches and cut them in half. Perhaps it is the end of the watermelon season that the watermelon is too ripe. It is dark red, the watermelon seeds are big and black, and are relatively dense. In modern times, she is so despised, but when she looks at this melon, she feels warm and full of watermelon, happy and excited.

She cut it into thin slices, placed it on a plate, took it out, placed it on the table, picked up a piece and handed it to Xue Shenzhi, "Taste it."

Xue Shenzhi picked up a piece of it for her and took the watermelon she handed it over. Her dark eyes contained a soft light. She took a bite gracefully and a sweet slim juice spread in her mouth, sweet to the bottom of her heart.

After taking a bite from Shangzhi, the watermelon was sweet, but it was not very fresh and had an impact on the taste, but she felt that this watermelon was the best watermelon she had ever eaten.

Whether it is its rare or the wishes of the person who gives watermelon.

Xue Shenzhi only ate two small pieces, and the rest entered Shang Zhi's stomach.

"Like it?" Xue Shenzhi couldn't help but ask as she saw her piled up the watermelon peels together and put the watermelon seeds on the plate.

Shang Zhi nodded, "The watermelon peel can be fried and eaten, it is very crisp and fragrant. I will keep the watermelon seeds for the next year to grow seedlings. You see, this watermelon is too rare. It cannot be eaten by ordinary people, and the watermelon that can be eaten is not fresh. If we can grow it, we will have endless watermelons every summer!"

"good."

Shang Zhi looked at the watermelon and couldn't help but say, "Safety, it's not easy for you to pass the imperial examination. Although these things are rare, we can have them as long as we work hard."

The smile on Xue Shenzhi's face faded and he felt lost. But when he heard the words "We" he felt happy. He knew that Shang Zhi was for his good, so he took the initiative to explain: "I didn't get a watermelon for nothing. Fu Shen's family had a son who was only four years old. He hired me to be Mr. Xi to enlighten his young son. The bunch of me was given a reward, meat and this watermelon, and I just wanted this watermelon."

Shang Zhi felt unspeakable for a while and hadn't spoken for a long time.

Xue Shenzhi stared at her with dark eyes and said seriously: "Shangzhi, a gentleman loves money and takes it well, and I always remember it in my heart." He has ambitions and will naturally cherish his feathers and will not accept bribes.

Shang Zhi felt very guilty. When she said that, although she was worried about Xue Shenzhi, she was a little distrustful. She knew his nature well and naturally she should know that he would not accept other people's things easily.

"Sorry, I misunderstood you." Shang Zhi blamed himself secretly, and that words ruined his sincerity.

Xue Shenzhi shook his head slowly, "You are thinking about me." Seeing that she was condemning herself, she sighed and said, "I have never explained it clearly before, and it is inevitable that you will misunderstand it."

Shang Zhi shook his head and said, "I am already unwavering in your character."

These words seemed to please Xue Shenzhi, and a smile that was bathed in spring breeze flowed out from his eyebrows and eyes.

His heart moved slightly and was about to speak when the gate of the courtyard was knocked.

Shang Zhi frowned, wondering who would come to the door at this time. He got up and went to open the door. Xue Shenzhi said: "I'll go."

"Okay." Shang Zhi cleaned up the table and poured the remaining half of the watermelon in the well. He ate it cold tomorrow to relieve the heat.

Xue Shenzhi opened the gate and saw a young man wearing a narrow-sleeved robe holding a wedding cake in his hand.

Su Yi looked at the man with orchids and beautiful scenery inside the door, stunned for a moment, and soon came to his senses. He said calmly: "I am a new resident, my surname is Su's name is Yi, I prepare some wedding cakes, and meet my neighbors."

Xue Shenzhi's hand holding the door panel tightly loosened slightly and introduced himself: "Xue Shenzhi."

Su Yi bowed and said, "Brother Xue, take care of me in the future."

Xue Shenzhi returned a greeting and said gently: "Brother Su, you are polite."

Shang Zhi waited for a while and didn't see Xue Shenzhi coming in. She wiped her hand on the apron and asked crisply: "Who is it?"

The two of them looked at Shang Zhi at the door, and Xue Shenzhi introduced to her: "The newly moved neighbor is named Su."

Upon hearing this, Shang Zhi frowned, with a cold face, and said unhappily: "What do you mean?"

"Miss Shang, we have a misunderstanding. Before changing your impression of me, I will always live in Xinghua Village." Su Yi went straight and did not hide his purpose.

Shang Zhi couldn't help but hold her forehead. Who was she trying to provoke whom!

Seeing that Shang Zhi looked unhappy, Su Yi did not stay and continued to persuade him and said goodbye and left.

Xue Shenzhi listened casually to the familiar conversation between the two, lowered his eyes and looked at the wedding cake in his hand, his voice was slightly waving, "Do you know me?"

Shang Zhi said: "That's right."

Xue Shenzhi raised his head and turned his eyes to her, with a look of hesitation and thought in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something. After a long time, he finally turned his eyes away, as if he was saying it to Shang Zhi, and seemed to be talking to himself, "It's just a passerby, don't worry."

"I'm not angry." Shang Zhi continued his words.

Xue Shenzhi pursed his thin lips and whispered: "I'll go back first, he might go to my house to deliver wedding cakes."

"Okay." Shang Zhi watched Xue Shenzhi leave, turned around and entered the house, and then remembered that Xue Shenzhi did not give her the happy cake!

The next morning.

After breakfast, Shang Zhi carried a hoe to the ground, intending to turn over the ground again, and met camellia on the way.

"Camellia, have you transferred the dumpling stall?" Shang Zhi asked.

"I just moved out yesterday. I was planning to feed the grass and fish before looking for you. Has the restaurant been negotiated?" Camellia cut a basket of green grass, and she had a fish pond for feeding fish.

When Shang Zhi heard this, he moved out and said quickly, "I have agreed that you can make time tomorrow and I will take you to the restaurant to report."

"Okay!" Camellia suddenly thought of something and asked Shang Zhi, "Sister Shang Zhi, are you one of the owners of the restaurant? The fish in my fish pond is very fat, and the fish meat is very tight and delicious. If you want fish, you can come to my house to buy it."

Shang Zhi really couldn't make the decision about this matter, so he left the purchase matter to the shopkeeper. She pondered: "Let's do this, go to the restaurant tomorrow, you will give you a helping hand, and you will tell the shopkeeper yourself."

"Thank you, Sister Shang Zhi!" Camellia was very happy. With Shang Zhi in her hand, she had half the chance to sell the fish to a restaurant.

"You're welcome, go and do your business." Shang Zhi waved her hand. She just gave Camellia a chance. Whether it could be successful depends on herself.

If she relies on the identity of a shareholder to infringe on the interests of others, she will be afraid that she will offend others.

Shangzhi turned over the dry land, leaving three acres of paddy fields. He Liangguang is worthy of being a good person. He connected his land together and separated the other villagers. The concentration of the fields is very conducive to the management of Shangzhi.

She looked at the fields that were crisscrossing. He Liangguang and the others had planted summer corn before, but now it has been harvested. The soil moisture is good. It is most suitable to plant winter wheat at this time.

The other crops have passed the season, so she can only plant wheat. When the harvest is coming next year, she can keep some of the wheat and sell the remaining ones for refined rice.

With a plan in mind, Shang Zhi went downstairs to hoe the weeds and then fertilized the ground. When applying base fertilizer, she had to collect sheep manure.

Thinking of this, she felt that it was tiring to grow three acres of land by herself, so she had to hire a few people to help her work together.

"Miss Shang, are you going to the field to work?" Su Yi asked her while standing on the edge of the field.

Shang Zhi rolled his eyes and asked when he saw it.

Su Yi looked at the little girl working with her head down, and the sweat on her forehead spilled in the fields, and a hint of sympathy felt in her heart.

In the environment where he grew up, girls as big as Shangzhi were busy attending banquets and socializing, learning etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so where did they need to go to the fields to do farm work?

Her age is similar to Su Jinse, and the lives of the two are different.

Su Yi asked, "Are you tired?"

"You can tell if you try it or not." Shang Zhi was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist. There was always someone talking in his ears, which made people feel annoying. "You go play, don't distract me."

Su Yi looked at her face flushed and sweaty face and suddenly said, "Give me your hoe, I'll work for you."

Shang Zhi looked at him unexpectedly, "Can you do it?"

Su Yi didn't say anything, but lifted the robe and tied a knot around his waist. He took the hoe in Shang Zhi's hand and weeded the ground.

Shang Zhi was surprised to see him skillfully in his movements, "You can farm?"

"Sowed." Su Yi said without raising his head.

To be honest, Su Yi, who was farming, was very down-to-earth. Shang Zhi watched him work hard, not bothering dirty or tired, and could not overlap him with the powerful and noble son who was above the land. It seemed that it was not that annoying.

People who can bear hardships will not be much deteriorated.

Shang Zhi returned to the house and took a hoe and weeded and prepared the land with Su Yi.

Clan Chief Chen was wandering around the field. Early in the morning, he watched Shang Zhi and Su Yi preparing the ground, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Oh, this young man is pretty good." After watching for a while, he walked home and happened to meet Xue Shenzhi at the entrance of the village. He remembered the scene in the field and couldn't help but say, "Shenzhi, yesterday a brother and sister rented my old house, and they specially lived in the village for Shang Yatou. The two are preparing the ground in the field now."

Xue Shenzhi was going to the town to teach the students. He listened to the words of the Clan Chief Chen and his eyes moved slightly. He said slowly: "They were looking for Shang Zhi to treat the disease."

Clan Chief Chen looked at Xue Shenzhi nodded to him, then walked out of the village in silence, touching his beard and thinking, was he thinking too much?

After a while, the thoughtful Chief Chen saw Xue Shenzhi who had walked a long way, turned around and walked to the Chief Chen's house, asking Chen Yaozu to go to the town to help him take leave, and then carried a hoe to the field.

Xue Shenzhi looked at the two people who occasionally talked for a few words, looked deeply, and waved his hoe to weed on this side.

Shang Zhi was discussing the matter of growing winter wheat with Su Yi, and then sighed: "I don't know who raises sheep. Just pull a cart of sheep manure from a ox cart and apply it as base fertilizer."

Su Yi thought for a while, "I will finish it first."

"Yeah." Shang Zhi tidied up the ridge. When he looked up, he saw Xue Shenzhi weeding in front of him. He was startled and hurried over, "Why are you here? Don't you have to go to the town to teach the students?"

Xue Shenzhi was silent, his face turned red and his heart was not beating. He said calmly: "I'll give him a few days off and let him adjust his condition. In the future, classes will officially start, and I'm afraid there will be no need to be idle."

Shang Zhi nodded, "Okay, finish the land, come to my house for dinner."

Xue Shenzhi's mouth couldn't help but rise, and the depression that was blocking his heart instantly dissipated.

"Su Yi helps me with work, I have to invite him a meal." Shang Zhi was thinking about making those dishes.

Xue Shenzhi was stunned, "Please invite him to have a meal together?"

"Yes, he always has to thank him for helping me with work." Shang Zhi said with a smile: "I really can't tell that a rich child like him can still farm."

Xue Shenzhi tightened his hoe, his eyes fell on Su Yi, frowned slightly, and said lightly: "We can't bother others."
