At dawn the next day, outside the east wing of the Wu family, everyone from the oldest to the youngest in the family, and everyone passing by the yard glanced at them casually.

Everyone in the Wu family swept the yard and fed the chickens. The sweet potato porridge on the stove was almost ready, but there was still no movement in the east wing.

It was quiet. Pingping, who had returned to the yard at the foot of the mountain yesterday, came and knocked on the master's door.

The Wu family members passed by one by one, deliberately slowing down their pace and looking inside through the open door.

Wu Yuer didn't sleep well last night. Her skin was white and translucent, and there was a trace of blue under her eyes, but she was wearing a mask, so others couldn't see it clearly.

Before the meal, the elders of the Wu family presented the groom with a gift as usual.

Grandma Wu and Grandpa Wu gave their grandson-in-law a hairpin made of silver, and Father and Mother Wu gave their son-in-law a family heirloom jade pendant.

"This is what Yu'er has worn since she was little. Now I'm giving it to you. I hope you'll keep it well and pass it on to the next generation."

Li Lansheng took the box with both hands, glanced at it casually without looking at it carefully, passed it over to Pingping behind him.

Seeing that their son-in-law was worried, Wu's father and mother thought of the newlyweds and did not want any trouble to occur on such a happy day.

I sighed in my heart, but I couldn't bear it and didn't say any words of advice.

The Wu family had rice and sweet potato porridge for breakfast, and the dishes were the ones that were prepared at yesterday's banquet but not touched, both meat and vegetables.

For ordinary families, drinking rice porridge and eating meat are their life's good life.

The Wu family ate with relish. Li Lansheng stared at them for a long while, as if he were looking at something new and strange that he had never seen before.

After seeing enough, he slowly picked up the dusty bowl and took a sip of the sweet potato porridge with reserve. His mouth felt slightly sweet and it was not bad.

He ate half of a bowl of porridge and didn't even look at the delicious dishes on the table. Despite the warm hospitality of the Wu family, the precious young man was too lazy to pick up the chopsticks on the table.

The people at the table saw the young man take a few sips of porridge to get by, then stood up slowly and politely, nodded and greeted everyone before turning around and leaving.

Wu Da, who slurped two bowls of porridge, said: "???"

Wu Er, whose stomach was two-thirds full, responded: "???"

Wu San, who was eating pork elbow and drinking rice, said: "???"

Wu's father ate the third rough-grained bun; "???"

After finishing one bowl, Wu Mu, who was serving the second bowl of rice, said: "???"

Grandpa Wu, who was old and had only eaten two bowls of porridge, said: "???"

At least one of the black grandma with a rough bun as the base: '???'

Everyone stared at the half-left bowl of rice in the young man's bowl, blinking their eyes again and again. After a moment, they all came up with the same idea as the Wu family.

"This little man is so hard to raise!"

Thinking that he couldn't stand it, he invited Pingping behind the young man to come to the table to eat, but his enthusiasm was rejected. Then the young man drank half a bowl of rice to get by.

Wu Yuer buried her head in her rice bowl, and although she wanted to argue, she was speechless, feeling the gazes above her head like searchlights one after another.

She sighed in her heart, feeling useless, and at the same time, she became more and more aware of the huge gap between her and Li Lansheng.

Breakfast ended in silence, and after the meal, the Wu family began to get busy.

A few days ago, I borrowed tables, chairs and benches from my neighbors to hold a banquet. The pots, pans, and utensils were returned as needed, and those who needed to go to the fields went to the fields as needed.

Spring is a good season. After a rain, the soil becomes much looser.

Some vegetable seeds are planted in and outside the yard. Farmers don't like to buy vegetables, so they rely on the vegetables in front of and behind the house and on the edges of the fields to make ends meet all year round.

Wu Yuer returned the items to every household and was sweating in the warm and cold weather.

She scooped a bowl of cold water from the large vat by the well and drank it directly without even boiling it.

Li Lansheng, who had opened the window, caught them red-handed. He felt that the country people were so rude that they didn't even bother to boil water and just drank it raw.

The bowl didn't fit her mouth, and the overflowing cold water flowed down Wu Yuer's light red lips and into her collar, never to be found again.

For some reason, following the trajectory of the flowing water droplets, the man who glanced at me inadvertently in front of the window showed a look of disgust, but her eyes refused to move away.

I don't know when the eyes of disgust started to stare straight at the rough girl's white and transparent jaw illuminated by the sunlight.

The girl's mask covered almost half of her face, leaving only her pointed jade-like chin and the pointed corners of a lotus leaf visible.

The magic of the warmth of white jade inexplicably attracted the young man and he couldn't bear to look away.

After the rude girl drank some water and wiped her lips and left, Li Lansheng, who was still in a daze, stood there for a long time.

It was not until Pingping brought in the pastries that she softly called out to her master, who seemed to be in a trance for some reason.

Only then did Li Lansheng come back to his senses from his trance.

Li Lansheng didn't know why, but from that day on he seemed to be possessed and his eyes would not obey him.

It was obvious that she was a rustic and vulgar girl whom he would not even look at based on his previous status.

Now, whenever Wu Yuer is present, Li Lansheng's eyes will be fixed on this disfigured girl.

She caught some disgusting stuff shaped like strips of rice in the corner of the house to feed the chickens. She heard that chickens would lay more eggs after eating this nutritious stuff.

Thinking that the eggs he had eaten these days were laid by chickens that had eaten insects, Li Lansheng felt nauseous and covered his mouth with his sleeves.

Even though he felt so uncomfortable, the man standing by the window refused to leave, and his eyes consciously followed the girl squatting by the chicken coop and calling the chickens.

The weather is getting warmer, and the girl who took off her jacket and skirt seems to be wearing an ordinary light blue tight-sleeved long skirt for convenience.

Like other girls in the village, she has a slender figure and walks briskly, which still makes her different from other girls.

The girls in the capital were of noble birth, dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing gold crosses and jade rings on their heads.

Looking at his wife again, she only had a knife-carved wooden hairpin and her hair was hastily tied into a bun on the back of her head.

The rest of her silky black hair was allowed to fall down her neck, shoulders and waist.

After all, she is his wife in name only. It is embarrassing for him to dress so shabbily.

The more Li Lansheng thought about it, the more he thought it made sense.

So at night, Wu Yuer pointed at the small box handed to her by the man and looked at him without looking at her.

Unable to guess what her usually indifferent husband meant, she opened the exquisitely crafted box in her hand in confusion.

An awkward personality, an awkward person.

Wu Yuer clearly opened the box and looked inside, but there was no movement for a long time.

The young man turned his head away and stared at the candle flame with eyes that were gradually becoming impatient. He didn't realize that he had clenched his hands and turned around to ask if the other person liked him.

She liked the fact that there were many things in his house, so she gave them all to her.

He values ​​face very much. Isn't his wife the man's face?

Everything he did was for himself, and he must not let the girl in front of him have any thoughts about him.

He wanted to warn her that if something was given to her, she should take it, but he would never like her and hoped that she could stick to this duty.

Looking back, the man with a relaxed look on his face was about to speak, intending to give him a sweet treat.

"Thank you for your kindness, though."

Li Lansheng's lips and teeth moved slightly.

She shook her head, closed the box in her hand, and handed it to her husband, whose expression turned from relaxed to cold.

"I can't have it."
