Guan Yuxi looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Seeing that Leng Lie's ears were slightly red, she immediately realized what was going on.
This was in the 1970s, a time of scarcity.
It's not that he doesn't want to eat, but that he's reluctant to eat such good food!
Have you had breakfast?
"have eaten!"
Leng Lie lied without changing his expression, but then his stomach growled loudly, showing him no mercy whatsoever.
His face flushed red, and he turned to leave, saying, "I ate too much this morning, I'm going to do some work."
Guan Yuxi's nose stung with tears, but she didn't expose him. Instead, she grabbed his arm and said:
"bend over!"
Although Leng Lie was puzzled, he had no choice but to do as he was told.
Guan Yuxi took a dry towel to wipe the dew off his hair, and then realized that not only was his hair wet, but his cotton-padded jacket was also mostly wet, and his pants were almost completely soaked.
She carefully wiped away the water droplets from his face, her voice slightly choked with emotion, "You went to town early this morning to buy me steamed buns?"
The morning dew was heavy; he must have taken a shortcut to get so wet.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, she turned him around, looked at the bloodshot eyes, and asked in surprise, "What were you doing last night?"
Leng Lie looked away, not daring to look at her, but his face turned suspiciously red.
"You stood guard in front of my house all night?"
Guan Yuxi looked at him with a complicated expression.
Is he afraid that she will actually sleep with Chu Zhiqing?
"I still have work to do..."
Leng Lie became increasingly uncomfortable, his expression grew colder, and he insisted on leaving.
Guan Yuxi hugged his strong waist tightly.
Leng Lie exuded a chilling aura and smelled of fresh grass. His clothes were damp and covered in green leaves.
He'll get her pretty clothes dirty if he does that.
He wanted to push her away, but felt that his rough, large hands were not worthy of touching her.
"Let go!"
Guan Yuxi walked around to the front of him, her eyes red, looking at him like a wronged little rabbit, "Brother Lie, I won't regret it, marry me!"
I can work and support myself. No matter how hard life is, as long as we're not lazy, we won't starve.
She seemed a little guilty when she said she wasn't lazy.
The original owner of this body was spoiled by her grandfather and never set foot in the fields. In the eyes of the villagers, she was a real lazy person.
Moreover, she neither knows how to do farm work nor can she endure the hardship.
However, none of this matters.
The important thing is to win this man over first!
Meeting her sincere and clear eyes, Leng Lie's will instantly succumbed.
His gaze darkened, and he spoke with a hint of self-mockery: "You know about my mother's remarriage, right?"
Her current husband is not only lazy and good-for-nothing, but he also frequently beats her and her two children.
I don't care what happens to her, but my younger siblings... I want to bring them back!
His life was already difficult, but with two children who could eat but couldn't work, it became even harder.
What right does someone like him have to drag her down?
"Let's bring them back. We can definitely support them."
And believe me, our lives will only get better and better!
Guan Yuxi took his rough, large hand in hers, gently stroked it, and said tenderly.
Although she doesn't know how to do farm work.
But she was confident that she wouldn't hold him back.
The combination of the two will definitely have an effect greater than the sum of its parts.
Her smile was radiant, like the warm winter sun, illuminating his damp and cold heart.
The warmth and softness in his hands stirred Leng Lie's heart.
Under her expectant gaze, he finally took the initiative and held her hand, saying, "If you don't change after five days, I, Leng Lie, will never let you down in this lifetime!"
However, why don't you talk to your grandfather first?
Guan Yuxi: "......"
She wanted to act first and inform him later because, according to the original owner's memories, although Grandpa Guan doted on her, he was unwilling to indulge her on matters of principle.
If the old revolutionary looks down on Leng Lie's background, then it will take a lot more trouble.
But she knew he was right, so she could only nod reluctantly.
It's really inappropriate to do something as important as getting married in secret!
"You go ahead and do your work, I need to go see the village chief."
Leng Lie followed behind her, saying, "I'll go with you."
"Didn't you have something else to do?"
Guan Yuxi glanced at him, frowned when she saw he was soaking wet, and said, "Go back and change your clothes first!"
Leng Lie coughed lightly, then pulled her along quickly, saying, "My business isn't urgent."
***
"Uncle Village Chief!"
"Oh, it's Xiaoxi. Come in and have a seat."
The village chief glanced at Leng Lie and greeted Guan Yuxi in a lukewarm manner.
He originally intended for Guan Yuxi to be his daughter-in-law, so that he could use Guan's connections to rise in the ranks.
Who would have thought that Leng Lie, such a tough nut to crack, would suddenly appear out of nowhere!
Guan Yuxi was too lazy to play games with him, so she leaned against the door and said bluntly, "Uncle Village Chief, you should still keep an eye on Auntie Yao."
Otherwise, I won't say anything more about the rumors surrounding Aunt Bai Mei... Anyway, Leng Lie is a man, he won't be at a disadvantage!
Leng Lie touched his chin.
He really wanted to say that he also suffered a loss.
In the end, he simply glared at the village chief with sharp eyes, snorted, and gave a warning.
Leng Lie won't suffer any losses, but the village chief will be ridiculed for life!
Rural life is often lonely.
A mosquito bite can be exaggerated into being kicked by an elephant.
Not to mention that what happened last night was already outrageous.
The village chief's face immediately fell, but his two arched eyebrows shot up. "Xiaoxi, are you threatening me?"
Leng Lie's face turned cold, and he was about to step forward.
