Three miles is only one and a half kilometers, so it's still quite fast.
But Dayong hoped things would slow down, even slower, because he didn't know when he would be able to ride in the same carriage as Miss Lingyin.
"Sister Lian'er, take it easy, don't bump Aunt Ling and the other two."
Qiao Lian'er's lips twitched. He clearly didn't want to part so soon, but he insisted on blaming her for speeding up the carriage. Did her eldest cousin think she couldn't understand his little scheme?
Qiao Lao Er and Qiao Lao San also understood that this guy was probably interested in that girl.
In the past, if you mentioned finding wives for their sons, they would blush and turn away. They would think that in such a poor family where they worried about where their next meal would come from, it would be unfair to let a girl into the family.
But now, things are different at home. Now that the girl has entered the family, she has meat to eat every meal and nice clothes to wear.
And this girl is indeed good. Qiu Shi seems to be an honest and easy-going person. They all support her and are very fond of Ling Yin.
The carriage made two turns, and the village came into view in the distance.
Lingjia Village is situated in a large basin surrounded by hills. It has a well-developed network of ditches and streams, and crisscrossing fields. As far as the eye can see, a vast expanse of green and yellow rice, soon to be harvested, is enveloped in the last rays of the evening glow, creating a sense of tranquility and peace. The fragrance of rice wafts over in waves, refreshing and delightful.
It appears that this village has about a hundred households, making it quite large.
Just as they were about to reach the village entrance, Dayong found a cloth bag and poured half of the sugar and cakes into it.
Then put it into the basket that Lingyin was carrying.
"Take this home and eat it."
"Oh dear, how can you do this? Take it back quickly, you've already given us so much." Although Lingyin loves snacks, she knows she can't take too much from others.
"Take it, it's just a little snack. My family doesn't really like it, and it'll expire if left for too long."
Da Yong said this somewhat awkwardly.
Da Meng and Xiao Meng were speechless. Who doesn't love snacks? They had only achieved snack freedom this month, from childhood to adulthood.
The older brother was so obsessed with pursuing that girl that he didn't care about any rules or methods at all.
Seeing his determination, Lingyin had no choice but to accept it, but she wouldn't accept it for nothing.
The carriage stopped at the village entrance, and the family of three got off.
Qiu took out a copper coin to offer money, but the Qiao family firmly refused.
"Thank you so much, thank you so much. Come to our house for dinner, stay another night, and go back tomorrow morning." Qiu held Wan and Lü's hands; they almost couldn't make it back today.
Staying overnight in the county is very expensive.
Now not only are they back, but they don't even need to pay.
"No, sister, we've prepared a meal at home and are waiting for us. Besides, we're in business, and if we stay overnight, it won't be easy to prepare for tomorrow morning." Mrs. Wan patted the back of her hand.
"We're relieved to have you here. It's getting dark, so please be careful on your way."
After a proper farewell, everyone parted ways.
Lingyin glanced at Dayong subconsciously and found that Dayong was also looking at her with tenderness in his eyes.
Her mind went blank, and she quickened her pace, carrying her basket.
Qiao Lian'er turned the carriage around, and Da Meng wanted to drive, so she handed him the reins.
"Da Yong, just tell your second uncle if you want to marry this girl from the Ling family?" Qiao Lao Er patted Da Yong on the shoulder.
