"Nannan, sit in the yard for a while. I'm going to call my mother first. We'll have dinner in the evening." Xiao Fangyun first went back to the room to get a kettle for Su Nan, and then prepared to go out.

"Take an umbrella. The sun is so strong that you'll get tanned." Su Nan saw that she was in a hurry and hurriedly reminded her.

Hearing this, Xiao Fangyun ran back to the main room to get an umbrella, remembering what Su Nan said about a white complexion covering up three flaws. Moreover, after applying snow cream today, her face turned white and she looked completely different. She felt more and more that she had to pay attention to sunscreen in the future.

There is no girl who doesn't love beauty.

Time flies, and it's already evening.

Su Nan turned from the yard and sat at the kitchen door, smelling the fragrant aroma of meat and peeking inside from time to time.

"Hey, why do you look more greedy than me?" Xiao Fangyun sat next to Su Nan, carefully picking vegetables in the light of the setting sun, and did not forget to tease her in between.

The Chinese cabbages grown in my own private plot grow tender and clean. I just need to rinse them with clean water twice.

Su Nan was also helping to wash the vegetables. She rubbed the skin of the green peppers with her small hands, carefully rubbing off the dirt on it, and then rinsed them with water before putting them in the basket at her feet.

"That's the smell of grandma and aunt cooking. My saliva is watering just by smelling it." Su Nan rubbed the hair on his face with his elbow and giggled.

Hearing this, Luo Qiongzhi, who was cooking vegetables, leaned out half of her body and said, "This little mouth is so sweet. I'll steam an extra bowl of eggs for you later. No one else will have any."

"Thank you, grandma." After Su Nan said this, he winked at Xiao Fangyun mischievously, with a smug look on his face.

"Grandma, I want one too." Xiao Fangyun smiled and refused, pouting and acting coquettishly.

Xiao Fangchi and Zhou Rang saw this scene as soon as they entered the door, and they felt different.

The former couldn't help but smile, as if he was already experiencing "married life" in advance.

The latter couldn't help but smile and unconsciously fell in love with the cuteness and playfulness of his "wife".

"Brother, this is Zhou Zhiqing." Xiao Fangyun had sharp eyes and was the first to notice the two of them.

Su Nan looked in the direction of the voice, quickly glanced at Xiao Fangchi, then stared at Zhou Rang closely, her eyebrows curved, and her smile was softer and purer than the jasmine buds hanging on the branches.

"Brother Xiao, Zhou Zhiqing." Su Nan followed closely behind and called out sweetly to say hello.

I don’t know if it was intentional, but when she called Zhou Zhiqing, her tone rose slightly, as if it contained countless little hooks, going straight into people’s hearts.

The two experienced women in the kitchen looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.

The other three people outside the kitchen only felt a tingling sensation passing by their ears. Before they had time to think about it, they were diverted by Su Nan's next words.

"Why are you two together?" Su Nan shook off the water stains on his hands, put his hands down in front of his chest, tilted his head and asked inquiringly.

Zhou Rang was not the kind of person who would come to someone else's house to look for her at dinner time, and she hadn't had time to mention to the Xiao family about inviting Zhou Rang to come over for dinner.

"This time, it was all thanks to Zhou the educated youth who went to notify the people from the society, so I thought I had to treat him to a meal, so I went to the educated youth point and called him over." Xiao Fangchi walked to the well, drew a basin of water, and asked Zhou Rang to wash his face together.

Although there wasn't much sunlight at this time, the two of them still broke out in a thin layer of sweat as they walked all the way from the educated youth site.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao. You think of me more than I do. I should thank Zhou Zhiqing. He has helped me countless times, but I have never repaid him. I will pay for the meal this time. I won't let you spend the money."

Su Nan smiled generously at Xiao Fangchi, politely and courteously. Although his sincerity of gratitude was revealed everywhere, it was not difficult to detect a slight sense of alienation in it.

The latter paused in washing his face, and subconsciously looked at Zhou Rang, who was quietly rubbing his fingers with his head lowered in front of him. He laughed at himself in his heart, slowly collected his thoughts, and exhaled.

"Girl, if you keep talking about money, I will be angry." Xiao Fangchi's difficult question of how to answer was promptly solved by Xiao Cuiping's angry roar.

"That's right, it's too formal here." Xiao Fangyun picked up the washed cabbage and peppers, stood up from the chair, and tapped Su Nan's forehead.

"Ouch, it hurts so much." Su Nan covered his little head and screamed exaggeratedly.

Xiao Fangyun shook her head and walked towards the kitchen, greeting him warmly: "Zhou Zhiqing, please sit on my bench. I'm going to help my grandma and the others light the fire. We'll have to wait a while for dinner."

"Fang Chi, go to your uncle He Jun's house and urge your father. I wonder what else there is to discuss next." Luo Qiongzhi spoke up immediately.

"Hey." Xiao Fangchi responded, glanced at Zhou Rang who was walking towards Su Nan, touched the tip of his nose, and moved towards the door step by step with his legs as if they were filled with lead.

After a while, Su Nan and Zhou Rang were the only ones left in the yard.

Su Nan was still shaking the water droplets off her hands. She secretly glanced at Zhou Rang who had just sat down, and watched him move the bench half a meter to the side, much further away from her.

It's like drawing a line in the sand.

"Bang." A mirror fell into the basin, splashing water all over Zhou Rang.

"Oops, sorry, my hand slipped." Su Nan widened his eyes and looked at Zhou Rang angrily.

The latter raised his eyelids and looked back at her. After a moment's silence, he picked up the mirror from the water and handed it to her. His dark pupils were incredibly beautiful, and his thin pink lips were tightly pursed.

"for you."

Miss Su Nan got angry and let him hold it like that, but she refused to take it. She said sarcastically, "I dare not trouble you. Just throw it there. I will pick it up later."

"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Rang narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, somewhat confused as to why Su Nan suddenly got angry.

"What's wrong with me? I haven't asked you what's wrong with you yet. Someone just moved his chair so far away on purpose. Isn't it because he doesn't want to be close to me? I'm just following your wishes. Let's not get close to each other."

Su Nan crossed his arms and snorted coldly, then turned his head to the other side, leaving Zhou Rang with only a puffy profile.

The atmosphere was in a stalemate, and a fragrance wafted through the air. It was the tempting smell of wild vegetables fried in oil, the overflowing broth mixed with the fat and water, accompanied by the occasional sound of a spatula flipping over dishes, which was particularly tempting to the taste buds.

After a while, Su Nan heard the sound of a bench moving, and soon the mirror was placed on her knees.

"That's not what I meant." Zhou Rang was much taller than Su Nan, with a shadow looming over her head. His voice was low and carried a barely perceptible hint of helplessness.

"I'm not a monster. If you come any closer, I'm not going to eat you."

As Su Nan accused, he turned his head suddenly and almost bumped into Zhou Rang's chest.

She didn't expect him to get so close to her all of a sudden, almost sitting right next to her, and her face turned red.
