"If you don't tell me the reason, then I don't want it. I must say hello to you when I see you." Chu Yanyan said, picking up the pair of cloth shoes and preparing to leave.
Li Hexing pursed his lips and said nothing, watching Chu Yanyan leave.
Just as Chu Yanyan was about to cross the threshold, he turned his head to look at the man with a deep gaze behind him and lifted up the shoes on his feet: "Brother, I will return these shoes to you another day."
"It has been adjusted to your foot size, so I can't wear it. Thank you for helping me push the cart just now. This is for you." Li Hexing replied.
"Thank you. I'm going home and will come to see you another day." Chu Yanyan smiled and turned away without any courtesy.
After watching Chu Yanyan's figure disappear, Li Hexing came back to his senses, walked to the door, and saw that the figure had disappeared. Not knowing what he was thinking, he withdrew his gaze and continued to do what he had not finished.
Following the system's navigation, Chu Yanyan walked towards Aunt Eighteen's home.
Li Hexing lives some distance away from his aunt's house, and his home is relatively remote in the team.
On the way back, the system didn't forget to ask Chu Yanyan about her evaluation of the target person this time: "Yanyan, what do you think of Li Hexing? He made shoes for you personally."
Chu Yanyan stood on tiptoe and walked forward step by step: "Well, I think it's good. Xiaoqi, your suggestion is very feasible. I think I can give it a try."
"That's good." The system breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up."
When Chu Yanyan was walking along the muddy road, he saw a group of men and women walking towards him. They were chattering about something and it was obvious that they looked very angry.
Chu Yanyan stood there for a while, and they walked straight past him. Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, he continued to walk towards his aunt Eighteen's house.
After he arrived, he stood at the door and called out. Hearing the old man and the child's voices responding from inside, he pushed open the wooden door and walked in.
Aunt Eighteen's youngest child was three years old and chubby, like a little kid. Seeing Chu Yanyan, he immediately ran over and stretched out his little hands to pull at Chu Yanyan's pants. Chu Yanyan freed one hand, bent down, and poked the child's face: "Do you remember me?"
The child looked at Chu Yanyan with sparkling eyes and said, "I remember you."
"Yeah." Chu Yanyan rubbed the child's head. He stood up and looked at the elderly in the family: "Grandma."
"Are you a educated youth?" The old man looked carefully at the young man in front of him with his cloudy eyes.
Chu Yanyan looked at the old man tenderly and said, "Yes, my name is Chu Yanyan. You can just call me Yanyan."
Grandma Li nodded with a smile in her eyes: "Well, Yanyan, the boy is really handsome, just like his father."
"Really? Uncle Li is so handsome." Chu Yanyan joked.
I got along well with the family and entertained the children for a while.
Chu Yanyan took the opportunity to ask Grandma Li if there was any empty vegetable patch at home, but Grandma replied that there was a vegetable patch but no vegetables.
As the old woman's speech was unclear and there was a slight difference between the local dialect and the vernacular, Chu Yanyan listened to her finish speaking and then summarized it.
There was a small vegetable patch near the natural water well that Uncle Eighteen's family dug together with the team. Soon after the vegetables were ripe, they were picked by some unknown vegetable thief in the team before they could be picked.
And it wasn't just their family's, the vegetables of several nearby families were stolen.
I reported this to Uncle Li, the team leader. Uncle Li and his team have spent several days trying to find the vegetable thief but have not been able to find him. Now everyone suspects that Li Hexing stole the vegetables.
Hearing the name Li Hexing, Chu Yanyan asked calmly, "Grandma, you also think he's Uncle Thirteen's son, right?"
"I don't know. Hexing seems to be a very honest kid, but no one in the village likes him. As an old woman, I can't say anything about it. What a poor child." Grandma Li sighed.
Chu Yanyan put Sanwa down and said, "Grandma, I have something to go out for."
"Comrade educated youth, where are you going?" Grandma Li asked from behind.
"Just taking a walk." Chu Yanyan responded and ran out.
Grandma Li held her grandson's hand and walked tremblingly to the door. When she looked outside, Chu Yanyan was no longer there.
Chu Yanyan wore the wooden shoes that Li Hexing had just made for him and ran back to the route he had taken before. He was careless and didn't expect that as soon as he arrived, there was news that the villagers had falsely accused Li Hexing of stealing vegetables.
Because the villagers blamed Li Hexing for all the trivial matters, there were so many miscellaneous things that Chu Yanyan's eyes hurt when she saw them, so she just glanced at them quickly.
After hearing what Grandma Li said, he remembered a few things.
As he ran towards it, he asked the system, "Xiao Qi, can you send me the plot of the recent period?"
"Well, how should I put it, Yanyan? Our system is worried that a host might use the plot to tamper with the original main storyline. Of course, I believe you are not such a person. I can provide other background information, but in this era, I suggest you rely on clues."
Chu Yanyan frowned. What new rule was this? "But I don't know. What if I change it?"
"No, as long as I don't tell you a second time, you have to rely on your own brain to figure it out, or recall what you saw before. Well, the only thing I can remind you is that the vegetable thief incident was finally uncovered by Jiang Tiantian and the others. You are also in the team now, no matter who finds it out, as long as it is the heroine's team, it will follow the development of the plot." Xiao Qi said softly.
Chu Yanyan was a little speechless, but after all, it was his own system, what could he do? His carrot business still depended on the system: "Oh."
System: "Yes, Yanyan, please understand."
Chu Yanyan: "Hmm..."
When Chu Yanyan ran to Li Hexing's door, it looked the same as before he arrived, except for the door being closed. It looked like nothing had happened. The system had mentioned this, so he must be remembering it correctly.
When Chu Yanyan got closer, she saw many shoe prints on the dirt ground and several shoe prints on the wooden door.
He pursed his lips, his eyes unclear. He stretched out his hand, palm facing inward, and patted the wooden door a few times: "Brother Xing."
Off topic: I kind of like writing a story about the upright Yanyan and the pitiful Gong. I have ideas for a story that is even more miserable than the current one, but I don’t know if I can write it.
