I glanced at the sky; it was already evening.

Since I had nothing better to do, I picked up a hoe and went out.

They cleared a piece of wasteland in front of and behind their house, then sowed seeds and planted crops.

It's a bit early to plant sweet potatoes this season, but Lin Xue didn't mind and planted several rows of them.

Then I added some spiritual spring water to the water to ensure the sweet potatoes grew well.

After planting, it was completely dark!

Lin Xue was just about to go home to cook when she saw Xie Yuchen standing at her door with a pot in his hand.

"Sister, my mother stewed some meat at home today, and I brought some over especially for you!"

Seeing Xie Yuchen carrying the pot, Lin Xue belatedly realized that this old man might be pursuing her.

Otherwise, why would he treat her so well?

He treated her to rice noodles, bought her candy, and gave her delicious treats.

To say that this was entirely to repay her for saving her father's life is a bit of an exaggeration!

After all, what Aunt Niu said wasn't like that at all...

This Xie family son is usually a man of few words and doesn't like to talk to people.

I heard he doesn't get along with anyone in the village and doesn't even have any friends.

Such a reclusive person suddenly becoming so enthusiastic—Lin Xue simply couldn't believe he didn't have an ulterior motive!

"Sister, come inside quickly and try my mother's cooking!"

"The meat stewed with papaya is not greasy at all, and the soup is delicious too!"

Xie Yuchen carried the stewed meat into the kitchen with practiced ease, and filled two bowls with the meat.

Lin Xue didn't say anything, but brought out some pickled vegetables and mixed a large plate of the pea flour she bought today.

She was actually quite happy to have someone eat with her.

Moreover, judging from the way she looks, the other party also likes her very much, so there is no question of repaying kindness with enmity.
