Unfortunately, Xu Xingchen had no way of knowing the true origin and identity of the jade pendant, as it had been pawned.

Then the two of them went to the stall again. Within an incense stick of time, Chen Pi appeared. She asked in surprise, "How did you know I was coming?"

Chen Pi scratched his head and smiled without saying anything.

Jun Haoyue glanced at Chen Pi's younger brother who was hiding stealthily not far away. The younger brother felt a gaze on him and felt a chill on his back. He shuddered and left.

This time, since Jun Haoyue was with him, Chen Pi didn't stay long and found an excuse to leave.

Xu Xingchen set up the stall until dusk. Today's profits were not good. Most of the seeds he brought were still left, and the handicrafts were sold out by then. It seemed that Chen Pi's mother's craftsmanship was still highly recognized.

The two walked towards the sunset on the way back to the village. Xu Xingchen raised his nose and asked the person beside him, "Jun Haoyue, did you smell a sweet smell?"

Jun Haoyue stopped and smelled it carefully, then nodded and said, "The smell of peach blossoms."

"Peach blossoms? There are peach blossoms around here?" Xu Xingchen was surprised. She had walked on this road many times and never knew there were peach trees.

"Yes, over there." Jun Haoyue pointed in a direction.

After passing a forest, a pink color suddenly appeared in front of me. It turned out to be a peach forest.

Xu Xingchen was surprised and happy. She happily flew into the peach forest like a bird and circled under the falling petals.

The flowers were so numerous that they were dazzling, and the faces of the people and the peach blossoms complemented each other in red. Jun Haoyue's eyes slowly widened, and he stood there in a daze.

Xu Xingchen broke off a peach branch and sniffed it. Then, an idea struck him. He turned around and called out, "Jun Haoyue, let's make some peach blossom wine."

He just stood there stiffly without answering. Xu Xingchen stepped forward and waved his hand in front of him. Jun Haoyue came back to his senses, "...Yeah, that's fine. We can drink it next year."

Xu Xingchen narrowed his eyes, "I think so too."

She stepped forward and lifted up his shirt, letting him hold it in place with his hands. "?"

"Catch the petals." After saying that, Xu Xingchen raised his leg and kicked the peach tree next to him. The peach petals fell down and covered the two of them, as if they were the only two people in the world.

After Xu Xingchen returned home, he threw his things aside and went into the kitchen to take out an earthenware jar.

Pour the peach blossoms you brought back into a clay jar, sprinkle a handful of wolfberries on it, and finally fill it with white wine. Seal it with mud, and a jar of peach blossom wine is ready.

Xu Xingchen carried the clay pot to the backyard. Jun Haoyue had already dug a hole. He placed the clay pot in the hole and covered it with soil again.

She squatted there, looking at the flat ground where the wine was buried. "Jun Haoyue, what if we can't remember the location next year?"

Jun Haoyue still had one foot on the shovel and one elbow resting on the shovel handle. When he heard the question, he looked down and saw Xu Xingchen blinking and asking naive questions with a worried look on his face. He felt like his heart was hit.

He wanted to look away, but couldn't bear to. He licked his lips and said, "Then plant a tree as a mark."

"Oh, right." Xu Xingchen ran to the front yard and came back a while later with a sapling in his hand. "This is the apricot sapling from Aunt Pang's backyard. I'm planning to plant one in the front yard too, and the backyard is fine too."

Jun Haoyue planted the apricot sapling one step away from where the wine was buried, and Xu Xingchen brushed the dirt off his hands with satisfaction.

"If you get married next year, this wine can be used as wedding wine..." The words stopped abruptly, Xu Xingchen opened his mouth, but couldn't say the rest.

Jun Haoyue lowered his eyes and looked at the apricot sapling, wondering what he was thinking.

To ease the sudden awkwardness, Xu Xingchen coughed and said, "Well, let's rest. It's too late."

"kindness."

At night, Xu Xingchen tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. The more he thought about it, the more regretful he became. He slapped his lips and cursed himself.

The New Year has just passed, and it is still unknown whether Jun Haoyue will still be around next year. I am already concerned about his future. What a sin.

The next day, Xu Xingchen seemed to be avoiding Jun Haoyue and did not call him. He went to work in the fields alone.

When they arrived at the field, Wang Muling was instructing the neighboring household on how to farm.

Wang Muling also saw Xu Xingchen coming and rolled her eyes at her from a distance. Xu Xingchen ignored her speechlessly and she was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Xu Xingchen quietly turned the soil and checked the condition of the seedlings. She didn't want to get involved in other people's instructions, but Wang Muling's wrong instructions made her really unable to bear it.

When they reached the boundary between the two households, they kindly stopped him, saying, "You can't do that. The seedlings haven't taken root deeply yet. If you force them to grow, they will die."

Wang Muling dropped the shovel in his hand and walked towards Xu Xingchen angrily, "What do you mean? Is that all you can do? Why are you showing off here?"

After hearing three sentences in rapid succession, Xu Xingchen took a few steps back in disgust. Well, if the other party doesn't want to listen, then let them be.

Seeing Xu Xingchen about to leave, Wang Muling grabbed him and said, "Hey, you're amazing! How come the whole village is so unlucky and has been hit by a locust plague? I'm telling you, I'm going to make this clear today. My method is definitely better than yours."

Xu Xingchen laughed, "Whatever you want."

"Stop, what do you mean by whatever you want? Do you look down on me or are you afraid of me?"

Xu Xingchen turned his back and snorted, convinced.

Wang Muling tried to climb over the border fence to continue arguing with Xu Xingchen. Tianbian Jun Haoyue watched for an unknown amount of time before shouting, "Xingchen."

Xu Xingchen looked over, her eyes flashed, and she lowered her head to look at the ground. She had not recovered yet.

Jun Haoyue walked straight to Xu Xingchen's side, took her arm and said, "Some of the seedlings in the greenhouse are not right. I can't see it. Come with me to take a look."

The two men passed by Wang Muling without even looking at her. At this time, Wang Muling had half of her body straddling the fence, neither up nor down.

She stared blankly at Jun Haoyue's back.

"Sister Wang..."

The sudden call startled Wang Muling, causing her to slip and lose her balance, falling sideways into the ground. As luck would have it, she landed on Xu Xingchen's plot of land, crushing a patch of seedlings.

The villager realized his mistake and murmured, "This..."

Wang Muling stood up in frustration and stomped on the intact wheat seedlings several times, "Bah! What's so great about that?"

Then she looked in the direction the two people left, something brewing in her eyes.

......

Aunt Wang's house.

Wang Muling came back in a dishevel and kicked the tables and chairs to vent his anger as soon as he entered the yard. Aunt Wang heard the noise and hurried out.

Seeing his niece causing trouble, he quickly stepped forward to hold her back and said, "My little ancestor, what's wrong with you?"

She had begged Wang Muling back after all the trouble. When the little ancestor was angry, she loved to throw things around, and her belongings couldn't withstand her throwing things around.

"Auntie~" Wang Muling put her arm around Aunt Wang's arm and stamped her feet, "You said you wanted me to help you lead the villagers in farming, but you didn't mention there was a widow named Xu."

Aunt Wang's face twitched. It turned out that she was angry with Xu Xingchen. If it were anyone else, she would have taken it out on her niece, but she couldn't control Xu Xingchen.
