After hearing him say "Huh", Tian Xiaolan stopped cooking and went to see what was wrong with him.

Seeing that he seemed to have scratched the ground a few times, but a closer look revealed no black marks, "You were too gentle."

Tian Xiaolan told him, and he increased his strength, leaving marks on the ground, and a smile appeared on his face.

He tried hard to control the strokes of his hand and wrote a few words on the ground. Although they were a little childish, he could still vaguely recognize the words. They were indeed the ones she taught him last time.

He was just being modest when he said it wasn't good enough. I didn't expect him to be so talented. "You write very well! What's wrong with it? I can even see your handwriting clearly. It's not bad!"

Hearing Tian Xiaolan's praise, his eyes were sweet, but his face was filled with unconcealed joy, "No, I just keep practicing."

"It seems you listened to what I said."

"How dare I not listen?"

After a while, Tian Xiaolan prepared the porridge in the pot.

It was time for dinner, and Li Weimin was carrying a bucket home. Fang Guihua was right behind him. They met on the road and saw a young man in the house carrying a bowl and chopsticks.

"Who is this? Have you seen him before?" He pulled the man aside to observe who he was.

"I don't know her either!" Li Weimin was also puzzled. Why did some strange people come to see Xiaolan whenever he was not at home?

"He doesn't look like he's from our village. Could they be in love?" Fang Guihua guessed. Tian Xiaolan will be eighteen next year and can get married. As long as she likes and is happy, that's all that matters.

"Xiao Lan wouldn't do such a thing. I don't believe it!" Li Weimin said as he rushed in. There were still a few small fish in the bucket in his hand to satisfy his hunger.

"Xiao Lan, who is he? Why don't I know him?"

"You're talking about him. He's my friend. Don't think too much about it." Tian Xiaolan saw that he was just asking questions, but Fang Guihua behind the bamboo fence had a sad face and pouted, as if her cabbages had been eaten by a pig.

"You really have nothing to do with him?"

"Aunt Guihua, look at how young he is, how could I have the heart to do that to him!"

"It was definitely not you who took the initiative. He was the one who attacked you. Don't be afraid, just tell me what you have to say." Fang Guihua didn't expect that Lan Lan had just woken up and someone would stick to her like a dog-skin plaster.

Wei Wenjie explained: "Aunt, you misunderstood. I came to see Master because I have something to tell her."

Aunt Guihua frowned and looked at him: "Master? When did she become your master?"

"Just two days ago, is there any problem?" Before coming to find Tian Xiaolan, he also got to know the old people in the village a little bit. This aunt was a pretty good person. It was because she took Tian Xiaolan home that he had the chance to meet her.

Seeing that the two of them barely made eye contact, Fang Guihua still asked worriedly, "Are you guys trying to trick me?"

"If I lied to you, you wouldn't be able to tell. If I really did that, my dad would beat me to death." Wei Wenjie said calmly.

Li Weimin: "Why?" Shouldn't marriage be a good thing? Every family with children in their village hopes that their children can find someone to live with.

"Because my dad is not my biological dad, he always beats and scolds me, and I don't want the person I like to suffer with me!" Wei Wenjie made up a story. These words were not a big deal to him.

"Poor kid, eat first. By the way, what's your name?" Fang Guihua's eyes were full of sourness. She walked in and told him her name and let him in.

"Wei Wenjie."

Fang Guihua said to him with a warm smile: "Wenjie, just treat this place as your own home. Don't be polite to your aunt!"

"Okay, Auntie, you are so beautiful, just like my mother."

"Why do you say that! Your mother must be more beautiful." Fang Guihua smiled even more brightly and began to praise each other with him.

"I..." Wei Wenjie paused for a long time.

Tian Xiaolan said to her, "Auntie, don't ask anymore. He must have something to say."

"I'm the one who's talking too much. If you don't want to say anything, then don't say it. Come, let's eat!" Fang Guihua brought out the cooked porridge.

"There's nothing I can't say. My mother passed away when I was very young. I was raised by my father, so I can't remember what she looked like." Wei Wenjie choked up and continued.

Li Weimin asked, "Where are you going?"

"You will die if you don't speak!" Fang Guihua gave him a slap on the head and glared at him.

"Mom, what did I do wrong again!"

Seeing his son asking stupidly, he felt a tightness in his chest. He ignored him and sat down to eat.

"Stop talking and eat your meal."

Seeing the girl pulling him to sit down, he didn't think too much and grabbed the bowl to start eating. The bowl was steaming hot, and he poured it into his mouth as if he didn't feel anything, and finished it in a few gulps.

"Eat slowly, who's going to snatch the food from you?" Fang Guihua couldn't help but say something to him as she saw him eating so fast.

"Who wouldn't fight with me? Isn't there only one bowl per person?" Li Weimin also knew that his family was not as rich as other families. Although he couldn't eat enough, he still had a bite of food to eat. Everyone's share was limited. If you eat one more bite, others would have nothing to eat.

He would finish eating early and leave the table so as not to see them enjoying their delicious meal.

"When you're full, go kill the fish nearby." That's true. Although they can barely afford to eat now because they have several employees in their family, they can't feel full just by eating porridge. They also have to put some sweet potatoes in it to fill their stomachs.

"Okay." He took the bucket that had just been changed with water outside again, holding a knife in his hand, ready to kill the fish.

At the dinner table, Fang Guihua looked at Wei Wenjie, who looked a bit handsome. "Wenjie, how old are you this year?"

Wei Wenjie looked at her and said, "I'm sixteen years old."

"No wonder he looks so small, how come he came here alone?"

In response to her concern, Wei Wenjie smiled and said, "Because I have something to ask my master."

"You don't have to call her Master anymore. Lanlan is older than you, so just call her Sister Xiaolan!" Fang Guihua felt it was awkward. They were both of similar age and called Lanlan Master.

"Master, is that okay?"

Tian Xiaolan had no objection: "Okay, you listen to your aunt."

"Great, Sister Xiaolan." Wei Wenjie said happily.

"By the way, Auntie, I want to tell you something. I have to go to the city for something. Don't worry if I don't come back. It's too late and I might stay at his house."

"Ask your brother to go with you." Aunt Guihua was still worried. Although Wei Wenjie gave her a good impression, she couldn't let a girl and a boy spend the night outside.

Tian Xiaolan said: "No need! Nothing will happen."

"Listen to me." Fang Guihua didn't ask her why she wanted to go to the city. She knew she had her own ideas, but she had to worry about her safety.

"Okay." Tian Xiaolan agreed.
