When the two arrived in the Hu Family’s field, Hu Feng, who just finished cutting a row of wheat and sitting on the ground, was drinking water. Under his butt, some rags originally used to cover agricultural tools were placed, so that his pants will not be soiled.

Awu walked in front of him and raised the small pot in his hand against Hu Feng: “Eat this, Bai Zhi’s porridge is very delicious and fragrant.”

Hu Feng’s gaze crossed Awu and looked at Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi’s face had been sunburnt. Her baby hair in the forehead had been soaked with sweat and sticking on her forehead. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but frowned: “The weather is hot, who let you come? Hurry back.”

Bai Zhi was carrying something, the road was not good. She hasn’t had time to look at Hu Feng because she was walking carefully. She simply replied: “I want to come, what does it have to do with you?”

Awu sat down beside Hu Feng and took a handful of wheat. He put the small pot on top of it and then put down the baggage on his shoulder. There were bowls and chopsticks inside.

“Stop bickering and have breakfast.”

Seeing Awu taking out two bowls, Hu Feng raised an eyebrow and asked: “You haven’t had breakfast?”

Awu shook his head: “Not me, Bai Zhi didn’t have breakfast. She said she will eat with you because it’s boring to eat alone.”

Bai Zhi sat down at the other side of Hu Feng. She put down her things and took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat: “I didn’t say that, I just don’t like to eat hot porridge. In this kind of weather, it’s nice to eat it cold.”

Hu Feng’s lips slightly curve up but didn’t say anything. He stretched out his arm and took the bowl that Awu handed to him. The sweet and thick porridge tasted the same as he remembered.

Bai Zhi took out a steamed bun and handed it to Hu Feng: “Here, I just took it out in the steamer, is it still fragrant?”

Hu Feng took the steamed bun, but still looked at her bag: “No more?”

Bai Zhi asked in puzzlement: “What is no more?”

Hu Feng handed the bowl to her and said: “Don’t you think there is missing?”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “What else is missing? There are white porridge and steamed bun, what else could be missing?”

Hu Feng was a bit uncomfortable: “Side dishes? Don’t you usually cook two side dishes? Why there are no side dishes?” Breakfast without a side dish, can people call it breakfast?

Bai Zhi stared at him and said with a bad tone: “At this kind of time, you still want to eat side dishes, how do you think can I cook side dishes?”

Hu Feng snorted: “When Meng Nan left, you didn’t sleep the whole night just to give him a good meal, but now you’re saying you don’t have time?”

“It’s two different things, okay?” Bai Zhi looked at Hu Feng and smiled: “What? Are you eating vinegar because of Meng Nan? Are you unhappy? Are you jealous?”

Hu Feng’s cheeks slightly blushed. But because his face was sunburnt for a long time. Other people could not notice it.

“What is vinegar? Is it delicious?” Hu Feng raised an eyebrow and took a bite of the steamed bun.

When Bai Zhi finished asking, she immediately regretted it. She wanted to bite off her tongue.

Awu felt like it was inappropriate to sit next to them. The two were like a newlywed couple. They seemed to be opposing each other, but in reality, there was a sweet atmosphere everywhere… …

“I will start to work, you two eat slowly.” Awu got up and took the sickle on the ground and then went to the field.

The two people didn’t speak again. After having breakfast, Hu Feng put down the bowl and said: “There is a tree over there, you go under the tree to rest, don’t sit in the carriage. The carriage is hot.”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “I am going to collect red fruits for Ru’er. She wanted to eat sugar gourd. You don’t need to care about me, I know the way.”
