Mrs. Chen’s meat buns were so tempting that Zhang Yan couldn’t take her eyes off the buns in her hand.

The educated youth from their compound went to the town yesterday to buy some household items, but they came back empty-handed, unable to buy either meat or oil.

She has been eating a lot of good food and meat with Old Lady Chen these days, and now she really can't eat the multi-grain porridge.

She was not full after eating the multi-grain porridge and fried wild vegetables cooked in the courtyard in the morning.

When she saw the buns in Old Lady Chen's hand, she became hungrier and hungrier.

After thinking about it, I decided that it would be a waste not to eat it. I had already lost my innocence, so what if I ate one of her buns?

He reached out to take it, opened the handkerchief in his hand, put the bun to his mouth and took a bite.

The buns made of buckwheat noodles have a slightly bitter taste, but the meat inside is fragrant.

He ate the buns in big mouthfuls, like a starving ghost, without saying a word or thanking Old Lady Chen. He finished the buns in just a few bites.

Old Mrs. Chen still had a smile on her face, but she was cursing in her heart.

"You frivolous and greedy girl, wait and see how I'll deal with you when the time comes."

Chen Erlaizi came back from the next village this morning. He worked all morning and still hasn't seen his mother or his woman.

He worked extremely hard this morning. Although he arrived later than the educated youth, he completed the task before them.

After digging the last hoe, he carried the hoe and left the wheat field.

When they arrived at the pig farm, Wang Po and the others washed their hands and prepared to go home.

Seeing Chen Erlaizi coming over, he jokingly said, "Erlaizi, why are you here?"

"Did you run out again yesterday? I didn't see your mother. She's inside! Go find her!"

Chen Erlaizi knew they were teasing him again, so he smiled and nodded, "Auntie, you guys should go back."

Mrs. Wang and another woman washed their hands and dried them on their aprons.

"Well, go home and cook. You're done with work, so the ones in my family should all be home!"

Normally, Chen Erlaizi works the slowest, so it's no wonder they didn't expect Chen Erlaizi to finish work early today.

As they were talking, the two ladies left.

When Chen Erlaizi saw them leave, he spat impatiently.

He cursed inwardly, "You old woman who won't die, you only know how to be sarcastic to others."

He turned around and ran happily to the pig farm.

There is a large area at the entrance of the pig farm. It is summer now, and a lot of pig grass that has not been fed in time is drying on the area.

What cannot be fed now will be dried and kept to feed the pigs in winter.

There is a kitchen inside, and behind the kitchen there is a warehouse where rice bran and some corn husks are stored for feeding pigs. In the summer, dried pig grass is also stored in the warehouse.

There was still someone talking in the kitchen. It was his mother's voice. Chen Erlaizi didn't rush in, but eavesdropped outside.

Old Mrs. Chen wanted to coax Zhang Yan to go home for dinner, but she saw that she was acting awkwardly and couldn't stop sighing.

"Girl, we women, what are we doing now?"

"As long as you find a man who loves you, you should be content. Although my Lai Zi is a little older than you, he is more caring when he grows up! Don't you think so?"

"You've been together before, how can you not see what kind of person he is?"

Old Mrs. Chen spoke earnestly in Zhang Yan's ear, but she just didn't believe it. If this little girl with light hands and a greedy mouth went home more often and slept with his son a few more times, he would marry her sooner or later.

She was persuading him patiently now and didn't want to use force. If she wasn't afraid of embarrassing her son, she would have made a scene long ago.

As long as she tells others about what happened when they slept together last night, Zhang Yan can marry into her family today.

Old Mrs. Chen wiped the water out of the pot with a towel and wiped her hands clean on her apron.

"Girl, come to Auntie's house at noon, I'll make you some pancakes."

Zhang Yan lowered her head and thought hard, marrying someone just by sleeping with them, what kind of society is this now? This is simply outdated.

She didn't understand a man like Chen Erlaizi, so she would have to be crazy to marry him.

He replied, "Auntie, I won't go. I have a lot of things to do back at the educated youth camp!"

As they were talking, Chen Erlaizi walked in with a smile.

"Mom, shouldn't you go back and cook? I'm still hungry!"

After hearing what her son said, Old Lady Chen hurried out the door.

"Yes, yes, yes, Mom will go back to cook. You guys can talk and come home for dinner later!"

Seeing that Old Lady Chen was about to leave, Zhang Yan also wanted to go out.

He lowered his head, not looking at Chen Erlaizi, and said, "I'm going back too."

Old Mrs. Chen was a few steps ahead of her and had already walked out the door.

When Zhang Yan was about to go out, Chen Erlaizi grabbed her wrist.

She threw him away in panic, remembering what she had said yesterday, and asked in fear, "What are you doing?"

Chen Erlaizi took a step forward and closed the kitchen door.

"Swallow, let's have a good talk. Don't be angry."

When Old Lady Chen heard her son lock the door, she was delighted and went to the pig farm to dry the pig grass.

The pig grass-cutting team hasn't delivered the grass yet today, so she has to keep an eye on them and make sure these kids don't mess up her son's good deeds.

Zhang Yan was locked in the house by Chen Erlaizi and retreated in panic.

"What are you doing? I want to go back."

Chen Erlaizi locked the door from the inside, with a flattering expression on his face and a chuckle.

"I just wanted to talk to you. I really know I was wrong about what happened yesterday. I apologize to you now. Can you please not be angry?"

"I got something good today, but I couldn't bear to eat it, so I saved it for you! Look what I brought you."

He took out two boiled eggs from his pocket. He had gotten them from Widow Wu that morning. He was reluctant to eat them and wanted to save them for the young educated youth.

Zhang Yan hasn't eaten eggs since she left home.

She looked up at Chen Erlaizi and thought, "This man is pretty good. He even knew to save some for himself."

Seeing her staring at the egg, Chen Erlaizi put the egg in her hand and touched her little hand.

It was so tender and white that it made his body tingle.

Feeling him touching her hand wantonly, Zhang Yan pouted and said angrily, "Don't think you can bribe me with two eggs. Take them back. I don't want them."

As she spoke, she was about to return the egg, but her hand was holding the egg tightly.

Chen Erlaizi took her in his arms and coaxed her in a low voice.

"It's all my fault. Don't be angry. Look, everything good that I do is all about you. Can't you forgive me this time?"

"Give me a chance, let's get along well, and you'll naturally know how good I am in the future."

Zhang Yan felt extremely uncomfortable when a hand suddenly appeared on her waist.

Chen Erlaizi's hand was still pinching her waist. Zhang Yan raised her hand to pull his hand away, but he was already in her arms.
