Xiang Baiwei was so flustered that sweat began to break out on her back. She walked in such a hurry that she didn't have time to take off her headscarf and coat, which were obviously the attire of an old lady.

"I can't help it. My girlfriend is too pretty," Jiang Sui said, pulling out a cigarette from his pocket and passing one to the people who blocked his way. "I don't want her to dress up too pretty when she goes out, so I asked her to wear a headscarf and dress in a more grey color. That way I feel at ease."

"Is it really as beautiful as you say?"

There was a younger boy who spoke in a somewhat eccentric tone. He squeezed forward, apparently wanting to take a real look at what Xiang Baiwei looked like.

Jiang Sui still protected Xiang Baiwei behind him: "What do you want to do?"

"No, that brat is talking nonsense," the leader scolded the boy who was looking for trouble, and smoked the cigarette given by Jiang Sui, and led a group of people to make way, "We are investigating speculation here recently. Don't go here if you don't have anything to do. Going east is the main road. Don't stay here, let's go quickly."

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away."

Jiang Sui responded and trotted away with Xiang Baiwei.

When they reached the main road intersection, Jiang Sui stopped and asked Xiang Baiwei: "Where did you put your bike? I'll go with you to get it."

Xiang Baiwei looked at the one Jiang Sui was pushing: "Where did you get this from?"

"I borrowed it from the town. When you push mine here later, I'll return the bike to the owner, and then I'll take you home."

The night fell completely, and the bright moon rose slowly, hanging on the treetops, illuminating the area below.

Xiang Baiwei sat on the back seat of the bicycle, with the thick coat that Jiang Sui had specially brought for her under her butt. She put one hand around Jiang Sui's waist and looked at his back with mixed feelings.

Did he follow me here today on purpose?

How much does Jiang Sui know about himself? Why is he so different in this life from the last?

Did he see me selling things at the free market? Questions kept popping up one after another. Xiang Baiwei suppressed her curiosity and the desire to question Jiang Sui, and sat silently in the back seat.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Xiangjia Village. Xiang Baiwei took off her headscarf, hid it in her pocket, and put her face against Jiang Sui's back, trying not to draw attention to herself.

Jiang Sui guessed what Xiang Baiwei was thinking, and pedaled faster, arriving at the doorstep in a few minutes: "We're home, get off."

After entering the house, Jiang Sui parked the car and walked to the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up: "Take a rest first, the meal will be ready soon."

Xiang Baiwei, feeling as if a kitten was scratching her heart, followed him into the kitchen. While lighting the fire, she wondered why he didn't ask her yet.

In this way, Xiang Baiwei kept thinking about random things until she washed her feet and face and lay on the bed. After greeting each other with Jiang Sui, she lay on the other side of the curtain.

More than two hours have passed since Jiang Sui helped me out in the town, and Jiang Sui hasn't asked a single question.

Xiang Baiwei wanted to explain but didn't know where to start.

Isn't he curious?

How could he sit still like that? Perhaps Xiang Baiwei's tossing and turning disturbed Jiang Sui. Jiang Sui asked and then pulled open the curtain: "What's wrong? You seem to be unable to sleep."

Of course I can't sleep because I have something on my mind.

Xiang Baiwei had a lot to say but didn't know where to start. She just looked at Jiang Sui in silence.

Finally, just when she was about to give up, Jiang Sui spoke up: "Next time you go there, I'll go with you. I'm worried about you being alone. I'm here to help you."

Xiang Baiwei was stunned by these few words.

He didn't even ask a question.

"You... don't have any other questions for me?" The thought that had popped up in Xiang Baiwei's mind before but was refuted by herself was about to come out.

"There's nothing to ask. I'm not a fool. I can guess the answer."

Jiang Sui laughed softly, "Okay, don't panic, and don't take it seriously. If you have any problems in the future, just talk to me so that I can help you. If you just guess, it's impossible to guess right every time."

Jiang Sui did not reveal how much he had guessed.

Xiang Baiwei hesitated for a while, and then conservatively chose a statement that Jiang Sui would definitely understand: "I want to make some money to help my brothers."

She spoke vaguely, but Jiang Sui quickly guessed what Xiang Baiwei wanted to help with.

"Okay, next time you go, tell me in advance so I can help you. It's getting late, go to bed first and stop thinking about it."

After Jiang Sui finished speaking, he showed some concern about whether the quilt on Xiang Baiwei was thick enough, then reluctantly closed the curtain.

A thin curtain separated two people who were full of wild thoughts and in turmoil.

The couple, who both had extraordinary experiences, wondered at the same time if the other had similar experiences that night.

Despite their suspicions, because they had too little evidence against each other, the couple tacitly decided to sit back and wait for developments.

No matter what, you can't reveal your true self first.

If I tell others about this kind of thing that happened to me, I will be considered a lunatic.

After making the decision, Xiang Baiwei calmed down a little. She entered the space again and started a new round of work.

The peanuts have been bagged and put into the warehouse. There are less than thirty fish left in the fish pond. She plans to make pickled fish with the remaining fish when she has time or keep them all in the pond and take a few home from time to time. If there are any left, she will wait until the New Year to sell them out.

Next, Xiang Baiwei planned to sell the remaining several hundred kilograms of peanuts.

If you sell peanuts alone, you may not be able to get a good price. If you can get a machine to extract oil from peanuts and sell it as peanut oil, the price will be higher.

As soon as the thought came to her mind, Xiang Baiwei hurriedly ran outside the space, to the place where people could get all kinds of farm tools.

She rummaged around for a while but didn't find any useful farm tools, but she did find a book on processing various agricultural and sideline products.

The book is a good one, but it is of no use to me.

Xiang Baiwei sighed in disappointment, then put the book into the warehouse to collect dust. She didn't know when this book would be useful.

Because of the incident when she left the free market, Xiang Baiwei felt a little scared and had not been to the free market in the town for nearly half a month.

After another half a month, Xiang Baiwei gradually grew bolder and wanted to hang out in the free market again.

Every winter, people who plan to plant peanuts next year will buy peanut seeds, peel them, put them in bags and wait to plant them directly next year.

After the last experience, Xiang Baiwei was more cautious when selling peanuts this time.
