Uncle Niu said that Pei Yao had brought a lot of help to the villagers, and the villagers had always been very grateful to the Pei family.
Several villagers had previously approached Uncle Niu to discuss how they could repay the Pei family.
Now Pei Yao only wants an empty courtyard, and fortunately, Fu Chun's family is no longer around.
This courtyard is now village property, so it's fine for Pei Yao to use it temporarily.
I doubt the villagers would say anything.
Pei Yao looked at the dilapidated old wooden door in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then used the key to open the long-sealed door.
The dilapidated courtyard gate was like a Pandora's box that had been sealed for a long time.
One day, someone somehow managed to open it.
With a creak, the wooden door opened, dust flew up, and the yard was desolate and overgrown with weeds.
It's obvious that he couldn't resist for a long time.
Pei Yao stood at the courtyard gate, calmly watching everything unfold.
Pei Yao seemed to see the laughter and joy that once filled the courtyard through these desolate and dilapidated scenes.
She admitted that she was affected by what Uncle Niu had just said, and that she was a sentimental person.
She turned and went back to her own home. Yunniang and Chen Fang had taken the villagers to the mountains to pick thunder fruit early in the morning and had not returned yet.
Pei Yao picked up the sickle and went back to the courtyard she had just been in.
Looking at the overgrown yard, she decided to tidy it up first.
Shen Yu is currently preparing to return to Doctor Lin's place at Tongrentang. Doctor Lin said he would be taking him on a trip this time, and it might take more than half a month before they return.
He took some ointment that was supposed to be given to Pei Erlang, enough for about half a month.
However, no one from the Pei family was home. He was just about to hang the medicine on the handle of the courtyard gate.
Looking up, I saw Pei Yao holding a knife, standing blankly at the entrance of the empty courtyard next door.
Pei Yao's expression was expressionless, and the atmosphere around her was tense.
Shen Yu walked over and asked with concern, "Ayao, what are you doing here?"
Losing her thoughts after being hit, Pei Yao turned her head and saw Shen Yu standing to the side, leading a horse.
"Are you going out?" Pei Yao composed herself and, instead of answering his question, looked at Shen Yu and asked.
Shen Yu nodded: "My leave is over, I need to go back to Doctor Lin's."
After Shen Yu finished speaking, seeing that Pei Yao did not speak, he handed the plaster in his hand to Pei Yao: "This is a plaster made for Second Uncle Pei. Just apply it whenever you feel pain."
Pei Yao accepted it, smiled, and said thank you.
Shen Yu glanced indifferently at the courtyard in the direction Pei Yao had just looked.
Pei Yao had already rolled up her sleeves and gone inside. She planned to first observe the layout of the courtyard and then cut some of the weeds.
Shen Yu glanced at the desolate scene in the yard where the grass was taller than a person, and Pei Yao was still holding a knife. He understood now.
Then he glanced back at the horse beside him, and led it away.
After looking at the layout of the entire courtyard, Pei Yao realized that although it wasn't as big as his house, it wasn't small either.
At the very back is a row of side rooms. I counted them, and there are four rooms including the kitchen. On the left side of the courtyard, near the kitchen, there is also an abandoned well.
After reading it, Pei Yao picked up a sickle and prepared to cut the grass.
Looking up, I saw Shen Yu returning to the courtyard gate, also carrying a sickle.
Shen Yu was dressed in a black outfit, his hair tied in a high ponytail, which swayed behind him as he walked.
Shen Yu walked towards Pei Yao.
Pei Yao looked at him with some confusion: "Aren't you going to see Doctor Lin?"
Shen Yu smiled. Actually, Shen Yu has a very handsome smile, with two shallow dimples at the corners of his mouth.
"It's alright, it's fine if we go to Dr. Lin's a little later." After saying that, Shen Yu picked up a sickle and began to help Pei Yao cut the weeds in the yard.
Pei Yao watched him go, said thank you, and then joined in the work.
Shen Yu bent over and cut for a while before secretly looking up at Pei Yao not far away.
Under the sunlight, the girl bent over, her smooth, shiny black hair casually tied behind her head with a red ribbon, and stray hairs on her forehead stuck to her face with sweat, her smooth forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.
Sweat trickled down her temples to her soft jawline, and Pei Yao gently wiped it away.
Shen Yu was momentarily stunned by what he saw, and his hidden heart seemed to flutter with excitement.
Realizing his own abnormality, Shen Yu quickly lowered his head and continued cutting grass.
After the two finished cutting the grass in the yard, they went to tidy up the side rooms.
It's clear that Fuchun's wife was a very clean person when she was alive. Even though she's gone, the room is still very clean.
It made things much easier for the two of them to pack up.
Pei Yao looked at Shen Yu, who was engrossed in his work, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. How come this person had no gossip at all?
If it were anyone else, seeing themselves cleaning up a deserted yard, they would definitely ask what they were doing.
But Shen Yu didn't ask a single question.
By the time the two finished getting ready, it was already noon.
The yard isn't big, but it's not small either. If she were to clean it by herself, she probably wouldn't be able to finish so quickly.
It really is all thanks to Shen Yu.
Although Shen Yu was a rich young master in the past, he works like a little robot, quick and efficient.
He was practically two Pei Yaos in one, making Pei Yao unable to help but praise him: "Shen Yu, is there anything you can't do?"
Shen Yu looked at Pei Yao blankly: "I can't cook..."
Seeing the other person's sincerity, Pei Yao couldn't help but smile and exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, "Shen Yu, with your personality, you would definitely be very popular in our time."
That's right! He's quiet, studies medicine, is handsome, tall, and can even clean!
Shen Yu paused, somewhat puzzled: "Your era?"
Pei Yao picked up the sickle, looked at the newly renovated yard, and then smiled at Shen Yu: "Come on, let's go to my house. I'll cook you something delicious for lunch to reward you for cleaning the yard for me."
Shen Yu's eyes lit up immediately, and he excitedly followed Pei Yao all the way back to the Pei family.
When Pei Yao returned home, the rest of the Pei family had not yet come home. She poured Shen Yu a cup of tea and asked him to sit in the yard, while she went to the kitchen to busy herself.
Pei Yao looked around at the ingredients in the kitchen. Yesterday, in order to entertain Gu Mingqian and the others, almost all the vegetables in the house had been used up.
Only the cellar at the back still contained some eggs, and some chives were planted in the yard.
She peeked out of the kitchen, spatula in hand, and looked at Shen Yu, who was teasing the little rabbit with leaves in the yard, asking, "Would you like some chive and egg dumplings?"
Shen Yu nodded: "I'm not picky."
“Okay.” Pei Yao understood, picked up the spatula, and went back into the kitchen.
