"That's amazing, that's amazing, how did you do it?" Xu Lingshan asked curiously.

Zhou Mingjie recounted the entire incident in great detail, claiming all the credit as his own, whether it was Zhou Mingzhi's or not, making Zhou Mingzhi feel embarrassed.

So Xu Lingshan admired Zhou Mingzhi even more. The previous few times she came over, he always took his younger brother to play with his cousin. She didn't know why he became so shy now. When his younger brother praised him, his face even blushed. But this made him look even more adorable.

Zhou Mingzhi felt embarrassed being stared at and turned his head away shyly.

"Well...if you like it, I can give you one." Zhou Mingzhi said hesitantly.

"Ah? That's not good, this is... a rabbit." Xu Lingshan was embarrassed to accept it. After all, it was two pounds of meat.

"It's okay, it's okay. My eldest brother caught this specially to give to someone else..."

Before Zhou Mingjie could finish his words, Zhou Mingzhi kicked him.

"You little brat, if you can't talk, just say less."

What else is there to not understand after reading this? Zhou Mingshu covered his mouth and laughed secretly. It turned out that his elder brother had a crush on this big-eyed cute girl.

But he has good taste. The little girl in front of him is pretty and cute, and he likes her very much.

"We just happen to have a cage at home, cousin Shanshan, you can take one home to raise. There are rabbits everywhere in the mountains nearby, and we can catch them often. We can't keep so many rabbits at home."

Zhou Mingshu moved quickly, brought over the cages from before, and asked Xu Lingshan to choose one.

Xu Lingshan blushed and was reluctant to say which one she wanted.

"Oh, don't miss it, cousin. If you don't want it, you can give it to me. I asked my brother to help me catch him but he always refused. Here is a ready-made one. I am willing to keep it."

Hearing her cousin say this, Xu Lingshan became anxious, "I... want that one..."

There were four white rabbits and one gray one in the pen, and they all looked similar. Zhou Mingshu went up and picked up one, "Cousin Shanshan, are you referring to this one?"

Xu Lingshan started nodding without even raising her head.

"Okay, it's getting late, we should go home."

Wang Xiaodan took the rabbit cage and followed her cousin home. She ran faster than the rabbits, as if there was a dog chasing her.

"It's all your fault. You scared everyone away."

Zhou Mingzhi was still not satisfied after kicking his brother, so he twisted his brother's ear.

"Brother, if I don't say that, how can cousin Shanshan know what you mean? She didn't run away because she was scared. She ran away because she was shy. If she is interested in you, it will be easier for you to take action. If she is not interested in you, you should stop thinking about her and change your target quickly."

Zhou Mingqi, who had not reacted just now, finally reacted after hearing what his elder brother and younger brother said.

It turns out that big brother... hehehe.

Looking at the gossipy looks on his elder sister and younger sisters' faces, Zhou Mingzhi quickly slipped away.

The protagonist ran away, and the rest of the people gathered together to continue gossiping.

"Brother likes Sister Shanshan. How could I be so stupid that I didn't notice it before?"

Zhou Mingqi was a little annoyed. Now that she knew what her elder brother was thinking, she thought back to what had happened in the past and realized that this matter had already been figured out.

Seeing Zhou Mingqi's annoyed face, Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingshu both laughed.

With her stubborn mind, it would be strange if she could see it.

"Okay, don't think about it. The token of love has been given away. Let's just watch them slowly achieve their goal."

Zhou Mingqi nodded and planned to go home to wash up and go to bed.

Zhou Mingshu closed the door and hung the pulled-out blackboard aside to prevent it from getting in the way.

The sky gradually darkened. Dad and the others probably wouldn't be back tonight, so Old Mrs. Zhou locked the outer door and took the children to take a bath in the yard.

Zhou Mingshu fiddled with the water lilies in the pot.

I didn't pay much attention these two days, and two small leaves actually floated up on the water surface. They were round and looked cute and silly.

Seeing that the two of them were growing normally, Zhou Mingshu put two minnows in the water. The colorful little fish swam around in the water, adding a bit of liveliness.

There are also many minnows in the river behind the house, so it would not cause any concern if we were found to be raising fish.

"Saya, are you asleep? I'll come over and apply some more ointment."

Zhou Mingqi's voice was heard outside the door, bringing Zhou Mingshu back to his senses.

"Not yet, I'll be right there."

Zhou Mingshu took out the ointment, then opened the door and led Zhou Mingqi in.

He picked up some with a stick and helped her apply it. Zhou Mingqi didn't stay long and went back.

The next day, Zhou Mingshu woke up early.

After changing the water for the snails, she went to the yard to check on the growth of the peppers.

It's growing well, changing every day, and the first ones that come out can be eaten soon.

"Grandma, the peppers growing in the corner are almost ready to eat. They are growing so well."

Seeing her granddaughter happy early in the morning, Grandma Zhou was in a good mood as well.

"That's great. I'll have one more dish to eat from now on."

Oh, it seems that Mrs. Zhou misunderstood! This chili pepper is not a vegetable. Eating it specifically can kill you. It is just a spice.

I should introduce the peppers when there is a chance, Zhou Mingshu thought.

I cooked corn porridge in the morning and had some pickles for a simple meal.

Just after dinner, the voices of Boss Zhou and others were heard at the door.

"Why are you back so early? It looks like you finished it last night." Old Mrs. Zhou murmured as she stood at the kitchen door.

"Mom, we're back. We finished our work last night. Xiyun and the others wouldn't let us come back, so we stayed and had a couple of drinks..."

Mr. Zhou explained the situation in detail and hurried back home after breakfast this morning, fearing that his family would be worried.

"Okay, okay, are you tired? You still need to sleep for a while."

"I'm not tired. Why am I sleeping when the sun is shining on my butt?" Zhou Laosan washed the sweat towel and wiped his face.

"Then you guys take a rest, there's not much work to do at home."

There was a pile of garlic and onions in the car. My uncle and aunt were delivering more things.

When the aunt and the others packed up the things and put them into the kitchen, the little donkey beside them kept tearing Zhou Mingshu's clothes with its mouth, which scared her.

The corner of her clothes was chewed in its mouth for a few times, and she was really worried that it would tear it.

"Tsk, you are hungry. I will take you to eat grass later."

Zhou Mingshu touched its big nose to comfort it, but it just wouldn't behave and kept nudging her palm.

This is because I want to eat some snacks.

Zhou Mingshu, who understood its meaning, couldn't help but laugh.

"Dad, please unload the donkey cart. I will take it out to graze later."

"Row."

Zhou Laoer agreed. The little donkey had been following them for most of the day and had not been fed properly yet.
