Bai An returned home just in time for lunch. Lu Demin, who was carrying dishes from the kitchen, saw Bai An standing at the door and urged her with a smile, "Why don't you go wash your hands quickly?"

Bai An happily went to the sink, and Lu Jinan beside him handed a towel to Bai An and asked, "Did you find Cui Ju?"

"I found it." Bai An wiped his hands, thought for a moment and said without hesitation: "I don't want to get married."

Lu Jinan was stunned for a moment, took the towel from Bai An, and after hearing this, asked, "Why do you say that suddenly?"

"Nothing."

Looking at Bai An's back, Lu Jinan lowered his head and looked at the towel in his hand, just sitting there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Wanqing handed the bowl and chopsticks to Bai An and said, "Luckily you're back, otherwise I would have asked your brother to call you."

"Thank you, Mom." Bai An took the bowl and chopsticks and said with a smile: "Don't call me, I will definitely be back before dinner."

Wanqing also smiled and glanced at Bai An, then looked up and saw Lu Jinan coming in, and hurriedly called out, "Jinan, have you washed your hands? It's time to eat."

"I've washed my hands." Lu Jinan sat next to Bai An, waiting for Lu Deming to sit down before eating together.

...

...

Before Lu Demin finished cleaning the kitchen and came over to eat together, Lu Jinan couldn't help but ask Bai An, "What did you talk about with Cui Ju today?"

Lu Jinan just looked at Bai An quietly, his eyes were dark and no emotion could be seen in them. He just looked at Bai An quietly, waiting for her answer.

Bai An was playing with the chopsticks in his hand, not noticing anything wrong with Lu Jinan at all, and just casually said, "We just chatted about some things."

Lu Jinan was not satisfied with this answer. He still looked at Bai An, and his aura was filled with suffocating coldness.

Wanqing noticed that something was wrong with Lu Jinan. This was the first time Lu Jinan looked like this. Wanqing reminded Bai An anxiously.

"Bai An, why don't you talk to your brother properly?"

"Huh?" Bai An raised her head in confusion. Didn't she just answer it? When she turned around, she suddenly met Lu Jinan's eyes.

"I, today." Bai An was a little scared by Lu Jin'an's current situation, and began to stutter. "Today, Cui Ju said that her parents wanted her to get married. I thought she was still young, so I advised her not to get married yet."

"That's all." Lu Jinan moved closer to Bai An and said in a cold voice, "Anything else?"

Bai An thought about it and felt that this was pretty much what she and Cui Ju had talked about. There was nothing else. If there was anything else, it would be what Cui Ju's mother had said. Bai An felt that it would be better not to tell them.

“No more.”

Hearing Bai An's affirmative answer, Lu Jinan smiled slightly, and the frightening aura on his body disappeared. He said softly: "You are right. Now that you are so young, you should put studying first."

Bai An nodded, raised his head and glanced at his mother cautiously.

Wanqing saw that Lu Jinan was fine, so she said to Bai An, "Dad will be here soon, you guys eat first."

Bai An responded, picked up the bowl and started eating. He was originally a little concerned about Lu Jinan beside him, after all, he looked a little scary just now.

Seeing that Lu Jinan seemed to be fine, Bai An started to eat his meal with peace of mind.

Lu Demin had also cleaned up the kitchen by then and sat down to eat together. Not long after he sat down, Wanqing gently touched his shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Lu Demin followed Wanqing's gaze and saw Lu Jinan and Bai An eating quietly, no different from usual.

Wanqing looked at Lu Demin and realized that he didn't see anything, so she whispered, "I heard that Cuiju's family wants Cuiju to get married soon."

Lu Demin suddenly realized what was going on and said to Bai An, "Bai An, do you know about this?"

"I just found out today." Bai An looked up at Lu Demin and said, "What's wrong?"

Lu Demin cleared his throat and said, "Although girls in this village get married very early, your mother and I don't want you to leave home too early."

Lu Jinan nodded.

"If you have the chance, we hope you can go out and see the world." Wanqing said beside her: "Marriage is not your only choice, you can go out and see before making a decision."

Bai An thought for a moment and said, "If there is a college entrance examination in a few years, I will take it with my brother and go to college."

Lu Demin and Wanqing looked at Bai An with admiration, "If you can really take the college entrance examination and get into university, your mother and I will definitely work hard to support you in college."

"No need. I think my brother and I are both so smart, we can definitely make a lot of money." Bai An said and looked at Lu Jinan with hope.

If I earn my own money, my parents won’t be so tired.

Lu Jinan smiled indulgently and nodded.

Seeing this, Bai An raised his head proudly and said, "Look, my brother has agreed."

Wanqing smiled softly at the two children, and Lu Demin said, "The wheat at home is ripe, so you two can help harvest it today. It's not much, just a small plot of land."

"Have we planted wheat yet?" Bai An turned his head to Lu Jinan and said, "Then we will collect the books later and then go to harvest the wheat."

Wanqing listened and a worried look appeared on her face. "I will help you collect the books, you just need to go and harvest the wheat."

"That's hard work." Bai An happily bumped his shoulder against Lu Jinan beside him and asked in confusion, "Why don't you say anything?"

Lu Jinan turned his head and said expressionlessly: "Is there?"

Bai An nodded seriously, "Yes."

"Really?" After saying this, Lu Jinan turned his head back, as if concentrating on eating the food in his bowl.

Seeing him like this, Bai An ignored him and started eating.

After finishing the meal, Bai An felt a little dizzy, so he urged Lu Jinan, "Let's go harvest the wheat quickly. After that, I want to lie down for a while."

Lu Jinan was packing up the things he needed. Seeing Bai An looking sleepy, he said softly, "You stay at home and sleep for a while. I'll go harvest the wheat."

"No need." Bai An pushed Lu Jin'an out the door, saying as he walked, "Dad said there's only a small piece of land. If we work together, we can finish harvesting it quickly."

Lu Jinan thought about the piece of land belonging to his family and nodded. The piece of land was indeed quite small.

When they arrived at their destination, Bai An looked at the wheat field in front of him, which looked like waves of wheat. He was a little surprised, "Is this the little one that my father mentioned?"

Lu Jinan looked up, stretched out his hand and turned Bai An's head to the side, turned it to a certain direction and said, "This is our home."

As far as the eye could see, there was only a small piece of land, so small that Bai An felt he could handle it by himself.

"Just right, not too much, not too little." Bai An rolled up his sleeves and was about to go to the fields.

Seeing Bai An's attitude, Lu Jinan grabbed her, put a straw hat on her, rolled up her sleeves, put on her the arm sleeves she wore at home, and then put a towel around her neck.
