"Ahem, Brother Danniu, you're such a jerk! I know I'm good-looking, but you shouldn't stare at me like that! It's really embarrassing."
Da Niu usually looks serious and mature, but he finally shows this silly and funny look, so Tian An has to tease him a little.
Sure enough, although his face immediately returned to its serious expression, the slight redness on the tips of his ears still betrayed him.
Tian An slowly walked over to him and whispered in his ear, "Brother Danniu, let's start explaining! Make sure you explain it clearly!"
He quickly took two steps back, as if she were a monster.
Then he felt something was wrong. He was actually being teased by a girl. How embarrassing!
Then, he put his right hand to his mouth in a fist shape and coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
Seeing Daniu like this, Tian An really wanted to laugh. But she couldn't, because she was afraid he would blush. "Hahahaha..."
"Ahem, are you still listening?"
"Listen, listen. Please start your statement."
Daniel...
"The first time I spoke to Sun Ying was probably two years ago, then..."
"Hey, it's been quite long," Tian An interrupted.
…
"On our way back from the market, some of my fellow villagers and I were waiting under a tree for my father to come pick us up in his ox cart. She came over and said her feet were so sore from walking to the market that she couldn't walk back. She wanted me to talk to my father and ask him to give her and her mother a ride."
"So, have you taken a nap?"
I let her talk to my dad herself."
"Did your father take it? No, it was our father. Did our father take it?
Da Niu looked at Tian An and said, "When my father arrived, the villagers filled up the seats before they could even speak, and then we left."
"Didn't you take them?"
"No"
Hahahaha, Tian An was simply bursting with laughter.
"And then?"
"When I go out to herd cattle, I often run into her. She says her family hasn't eaten meat in a long time, and even if they do, she doesn't get any. She says she envied me for always having meat to eat, and asked if I could give her some so she could try..."
Tian An stared at Daniu with sharp eyes: "Did you give it to him?"
Daniu felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him: "I gave it to him several times."
Tian An looked at him with a look of disappointment: "She is just here to cheat you out of your body, do you know that?
"Now, now I know." Da Niu was a little afraid to look at Tian An.
"Then what happened next? Logically speaking, since you gave her something, you should have a good impression of her even if you don't say you like her! Why do you say that being with her is impossible?" Tian An looked at Da Niu in confusion.
Danniu's eyes suddenly turned fierce. He stared straight ahead.
"That's because I heard the conversation between her and her mother."
Why do I feel like something exciting is about to happen?!
"That was towards the end of last year. My family had no land, and food prices were rising again and again due to the severe drought.
My parents were extremely anxious, so I took a pheasant my father had just hunted and some silver and went to her house. I thought I could use our friendship to buy some food at a low price. Unfortunately, as soon as I arrived at her gate, I overheard her and her mother talking.
"Yingzi, you haven't been looking for that kid Zhao Daniu recently, have you?"
"No! It's getting cold now, and there are fewer prey in the mountains. His family sold all the prey they caught recently to exchange for food. I heard that the price of food is very high, even more expensive than meat! His family can hardly afford food."
"It's so serious! Yingzi, I'm telling you! You can't be stupid enough to trade food with him!"
"Don't worry, Mom, I was just lying to him. I tried to make him happy and asked him to bring me some meat. I don't really like him."
"Just know what you're talking about. He's just a poor kid from out of town, with no land at home. What's the point of being a hunter? He'll still starve if a natural disaster hits! You're destined for wealth, and you'll have to marry into the city."
"Mom, I know..."
...Oh my god, he really is here to cheat for meat.
"See! I'm just a poor boy with no land or property. Now you regret it!" Da Niu said with some hurt.
Tian An shook his hand vigorously and said, "It's okay. We will make a lot of money in the future and buy a lot of land. Then you can become a local landlord."
"But I don't want to be a landlord either!" Da Niu looked at Tian An and said.
"So what do you want to do?"
"I want to study, take the imperial examinations, become an official, and benefit the people."
…
"Okay, then let's study, take the imperial examinations, and become officials!"
"But now that my parents are gone, I'm afraid I can't afford it alone."
Tian An patted his chest and said ambitiously: "This is mine! I will make a lot of money in the future so that you and your brother can go to school, take the imperial examinations, and become officials."
Da Niu shook his head and said, "Then I really become a gigolo, don't I?"
...Ugh! Could it be that he heard what I said to Xiaokang yesterday?
…
However, speaking of books, there is one thing. Tian An thought for a moment and said, "Well, you didn't arrange accommodation for Xiaokang yesterday, so I let him sleep in your study.
Tian An had just finished speaking when he felt a gust of wind blow and Da Niu disappeared.
Daniu ran to the door of the study with a breath of fresh air and looked at the books on the desk. He was relieved to see that everything was intact.
It's called a study, but in reality, there are only about ten books. But for farmers, these books are extremely precious. The few books that Da Niu has are probably the only ones in the whole village.
Xiaokang woke up and was startled to see Daniu staring at the desk anxiously. He said hurriedly, "Brother-in-law, you scared me to death. Don't worry, my sister told me not to move anything. I really didn't move anything!"
