Protagonist:

Chai Mi

The Courtyard refers to Chai Mi's family courtyard.

This courtyard right now is still dirt...

Indeed afraid of vehicles pressing on it...

But...

Chai Mi genuinely didn't quite understand; anyway it's all dirt, if it gets pressed just add some more dirt, but Chai Youqing absolutely wouldn't allow it...

Chai Mi still persuaded a few sentences, but it was of no use at all!

A surge of Malevolent Karma Fire rose in Chai Mi's heart: it's over, this Old Codger is having an episode again...

But since Chai Youqing put it that way, Chai Mi had no choice but to say: "Then Da Zhi, you help carry them in."

"No need, I'll carry it myself." Chai Youqing didn't wait for Liu Zhijing to speak, shouldered a bag of urea himself, and started walking home.

Chai Mi: "Uh..."

Liu Zhijing: "???"

"Uncle Youqing, let me help you..."

Liu Zhijing also didn't wait for Chai Youqing to refuse, and helped carry the fertilizer.

There weren't many bags of fertilizer in total; the two of them made three or four trips and finished carrying them.

After finishing carrying the fertilizer, Chai Mi's intention was to ask Liu Zhijing to come inside and drink a bowl of water, after all he had gone to trouble...

"Nothing else, you go back." Chai Youqing directly issued an Eviction Order.

Liu Zhijing nodded rather awkwardly: "Then... then... then I'll go back."

Chai Mi frowned, went inside, fetched a pack of cigarettes, and handed it to Liu Zhijing: "Come come come, Da Zhi, busy half a day, have a smoke."

Before Liu Zhijing could take it, Chai Youqing spoke up again: "At such a young age already smoking..."

Liu Zhijing's hand froze in midair: Uh...

Chai Mi's hand also froze: Uh... it's over, the Old Codger's mental state isn't good today, maybe because Mom hasn't been home for a long time, Dad got Menopausal Syndrome.

Someone helps with good intentions, won't let him drink water, won't even let him smoke a cigarette?

Then who will help in the future...

"Chai Mi, that... I don't smoke." Liu Zhijing gave a silly hehehe laugh.

Chai Mi frowned: "That's not right, you do smoke, don't listen to my dad, take it."

"No no no, I quit smoking."

"When did that happen?"

"Quitting today..."

Chai Mi helplessly: "Alright then."

Guessing he just quit...

Chai Mi took the cigarettes back.

Liu Zhijing showed a professional smile: "Then I'll be going first..."

"Hard work, hard work..."

"Not going, still want to stay for a meal?" Chai Youqing muttered quietly.

Liu Zhijing's face color normal, awkward smile twisting his cheeks, then drove the tractor away.

Chai Mi tugged Chai Youqing's clothes: "Dad, what's up with you today?"

"Nothing..."

"Probably too easy, should've just let you carry those few bags of fertilizer yourself just now." Chai Mi didn't care too much: "Too idle, people easily overthink."

Chai Mi went back inside on her own, thinking she should buy a watermelon tomorrow, eating watermelon in summer is simply too wonderful.

Today won't do, too late.

"Xiu'er, whose family grows watermelons?"

"Don't know." Chai Xiu thought for a while, then answered: "Seems like Da Lao Song's family grew a greenhouse of watermelons."

Chai Mi gasped: Shearing wool from just one person? But who told Da Lao Song's family to grow watermelons?

Only he Da Lao Song can grow watermelons, but I Chai Mi can't go steal watermelons at midnight?

Pah!

Chai Mi lightly spat: "Confused, Da Lao Song is busy fighting with those from the Laozhai... no one in the field, that's my own family's melons! My own family's melons, how can it be called stealing? That's called picking. Besides, Da Lao Song is so old, eating melons he'd get Diabetes... I'm doing this to prevent Da Lao Song from getting Diabetes, helping him..."

"Round it off like this, I'm a good person!"
