Liu Chunhua twitched her lips at her overly high voice, "Well, let's go over and take a look."
"Sister Liu, please get in the car." Huo Shu politely opened the car door for her, which surprised Jiang Ruyi.
Although she knew that Liu Chunhua's identity was not ordinary, in the eyes of outsiders, Liu Chunhua was just an ordinary rural woman. With Huo Shu's identity and status, she did not need to be treated with such courtesy.
That’s right, it’s courtesy.
Even deeper than just politeness, Huo Shu's behavior seemed to put Liu Chunhua on the same level as him, which was so different in this era when status and class were still very obvious.
In fact, even Huo Shu himself didn't know why this happened. No matter how well-educated he was, there were few people who deserved his politeness in front of outsiders.
But when facing Liu Chunhua, he would always unconsciously restrain himself a little, just like... a younger generation facing an elder.
Soon, several people arrived at the scene.
Unlike the last time I saw it, this time the entire farm house has been fully built, with rockery, flowing water, pavilions, artificial ponds and fruit trees all ready, covering an area of several hundred square meters.
Jiang Ruyi was watching with great interest when she felt someone pulling her. At first she thought it was Liu Chunhua, until a slightly childish voice sounded in her ear, "Let me hold you."
【!!!】Jiang Ruyi shrank into Liu Chunhua's arms in shock, but the latter quickly refused, "No need, Master Huo, you are still young, I'm afraid you can't hold her."
"No, the road ahead is bumpy. I'll hold her here and wait for you."
"Yes, Sister Liu, I'm afraid it's not convenient to bring a child in front."
Liu Chunhua then looked ahead and saw that the road near the rockery was indeed uneven, and there was an artificial lake next to it. If she slipped, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Well, Boss Huo and I will go take a look first. Ruyi, you just follow Young Master Huo." Liu Chunhua let go, but Jiang Ruyi held on tightly.
[What the hell, I don't want to be alone with him. ]
"Be obedient." Seeing that Huo Shu had already walked forward, Liu Chunhua had no choice but to take her little hand down. Without support, Jiang Ruyi fell into an embrace with the scent of cedar the next second.
"You seem very afraid of me?" Huo Yuli held her with both hands, his obsidian eyes shining brightly.
Jiang Ruyi silently complained, [Nonsense, you are the male lead, the male lead! Why should I be so close to you? ]
Although he didn't know what she said, Huo Yuli felt that she was scolding him again. He poked her cheek with his little hand, which immediately caused Jiang Ruyi to glare at him in dissatisfaction.
"Didn't I tell you not to scold me next time we meet? Why don't you listen?"
Jiang Ruyi, [.....]
Can anyone tell her if this bastard can really understand what she is saying? If not, he looks really scary!
"Hmm? What are you thinking about?" Huo Yuli seemed to be very interested and kept observing the changes in her facial expressions. In order not to be exposed, Jiang Ruyi simply played stupid and played with her little fingers.
But the next second, Huo Yuli looked at her bare neck and asked, "Why didn't you bring the gold locket I gave you? Don't you like it?"
"Brother, it's expensive!" Jiang Ruyi could no longer bear it. After she finished yelling, she realized that what she had just said was not in her heart, but she really spoke. Her face was stiff, and she looked at Huo Yuli with an expression that said, "As expected."
"It turns out that Sister Ruyi can really understand what I say and knows how to speak."
【.......】Is it too late for her to withdraw now?
Huo Yuli obviously had no intention of brushing off the past. He carried her to a pavilion and sat down. There was lotus-pink gauze hanging all around them, and even the wind seemed gentle.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Huo Yuli asked someone to bring a box of snacks. It looked very delicate but was soft and sticky, which was not something she could digest at her age.
Seeing that Jiang Ruyi didn't respond, Huo Yuli didn't get discouraged and changed several items in a row, "I know you understand, it's okay, if there's anything you want to eat, just ask for it."
Jiang Ruyi could see that this guy was deliberately trying to seduce her to talk more, but what did it have to do with him whether she talked or not? The hero in the original story only said that he would be vigorous and resolute when he grew up, but he didn't say that he was so weird when he was a child!
More than ten minutes later, Liu Chunhua and Huo Shu came back. Jiang Ruyi felt that these ten minutes were the most difficult time for her since she came to this world. When she saw Liu Chunhua, she immediately ran over with a frown on her face.
"Slow down, what's wrong with you?" Liu Chunhua hurriedly caught her, and Huo Yuli, who was following behind her, said slowly, "It's okay, sister Ruyi and I had too much fun playing together, and I was a little excited."
"......"
If Jiang Ruyi hadn't been complaining all the time, Liu Chunhua would have really believed it.
"Okay, it's done, Sister Liu, here are your rewards." Huo Shu took out an envelope. Liu Chunhua took a quick look and found that there were 500 yuan in it!
"No, no, I didn't help you much today, how can I ask for your money?"
Liu Chunhua pushed the envelope back, and Huo Yuli put it directly into Jiang Ruyi's hand. Sure enough, Jiang Ruyi immediately held it tightly and no one could take it away.
Liu Chunhua's face turned red with embarrassment. How come this kid... doesn't even know how to restrain himself!
Jiang Ruyi complained, [Who are you trying to show me how to be restrained? I am a child now, who can say anything to me? ]
Liu Chunhua couldn't argue with her and stood there awkwardly, but Huo Yuli smiled and said, "It's okay, Sister Ruyi...she deserves the money. Aunt Liu doesn't have to feel any psychological burden."
"Oh, okay." Liu Chunhua was stunned by what she said, and only figured it out after she got on the return bus.
"Ruyi, why do I feel that Young Master Huo means that this money is for you?"
[You just found out about this? ]
After what happened just now, Jiang Ruyi was 100% sure that she was being targeted by this bastard, but she still had a long way to go in life, and logically speaking, it was far from the time for her and the male protagonist to really get to know each other.
"I say, you dragged me all the way here just to be a money-giving boy?" In the pavilion, Huo Shu and Huo Yuli sat opposite each other. Actually, he proposed to invite someone to inspect the goods at the beginning, but Huo Yuli insisted on finding Liu Chunhua and instructed her to prepare a generous red envelope in advance.
But a few hundred dollars didn't matter to the Huo family. What Huo Shu was more curious about was what Huo Yuli saw in Jiang Ruyi?
Hearing this, Huo Yuli said seriously, "She is very interesting."
Huo Shu: "...I don't understand, but I respect."
He also understood a little bit that Liu Chunhua and her daughter lived a hard life, so this little money was just to help them, hoping that they could have their own lives.
"Uncle Luo." Before leaving, Huo Yuli said to Shopkeeper Luo, "Please pay more attention to the mother and daughter of the Liu family. If they encounter difficulties, help them if you can. If it is very difficult, please inform me at any time."
Shopkeeper Luo was shocked. This was the first time that the young master had spoken to him for such a long time! And it was for Sister Chunhua. It seemed that Liu Chunhua had met a noble person!
