Chapter 132: Ah Ye’s eight-pack abs are so nice... She...
Lin Shu's eyes seemed to be burned. She quickly looked away, cleared her throat, and then shouted to the others, "Uncle Zhao, Ah Ye, dinner is about to start. Aunt Lin asked me to call you—"
Zhou Ye noticed it when Lin Shu first came. He was always very sensitive to people's gazes, but he knew that Ah Shu was staring at him, and he was afraid that if he looked back rashly, he would scare her.
and--
Thinking back to the place where Jiang Jiang Ashu stayed the longest, Zhou Ye's ears became red and hot.
He discovered the last time Ah Shu came to see him secretly at night. Ah Shu seemed to like the tendon meat on his body very much, especially... around his waist.
After Ah Shu called them, Zhou Ye raised his head and looked at them. He was immediately surprised. "Ah Shu?"
He thought Ah Shu would leave after calling someone, but unexpectedly, Ah Shu walked straight towards him.
"Uncle Zhao, you guys go first. I have something to say to A Ye alone." Lin Shu said to Uncle Zhao and the others frankly.
Zhao Laosan nodded and immediately asked Liu Erzhuang and Wang Changshun to leave first.
Before leaving, they simply packed up the things they had with them. The thatch that was spread out to dry had to be tied up again to prevent it from being blown away by the wind at night. The borrowed shovel and axe were valuable items, so they had to take them away and deposit them at the nearest Lin Dashan's house, and come back to pick them up when they went to work tomorrow.
The group of people moved quickly. After packing up their things, they picked up their clothes and left without wasting a moment.
Liu Erzhuang couldn't help but secretly turned his head to take a look, but before he could take a second look, Zhao Laosan pushed his head back.
"What are you looking at, kid?"
Liu Erzhuang: ...
No, why did he just take a look? He just felt that Brother Zhou Ye and his wife were a good match, so couldn't he take another look?
Zhou Ye didn't think it was a big deal at first, as Ah Shu just wanted to talk to him for a few words. But Uncle Zhao and his friends left so quickly, as if they wanted to clear the place for him and Ah Shu immediately, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Zhou Ye looked up again, and Lin Xiaopu smiled at him and actually followed Uncle Zhao and the others.
Soon, he and Ah Shu were the only ones left here.
"Ashu, the person is gone. Just say what you want to say." Zhou Ye said.
Lin Shu looked at him and asked with a smile, "Why are your ears red? I took the initiative to talk to you, and I'm not embarrassed, so why are you embarrassed?"
Zhou Ye lowered his head and suddenly said something without context: "Ah Shu, when we were chatting while working today, they asked about you and when we would get married. Old Man Liao also asked about it before."
Lin Shu said slowly, "How did you answer?"
She was not surprised that they mentioned her while working. After all, she did not hide it from them. Everyone knew that she and A Ye were a couple.
Women chat about everything, and men are no different, but they prefer to talk about each other's families. I ask about yours, you ask about mine. Asking about Zhou Ye inevitably brings up her future daughter-in-law.
Zhou Ye said: "I told them I would listen to you, but they laughed at me and said I was a henpecked man."
Lin Shu laughed when she heard this and asked, "They say you're a henpecked man, do you think you are?"
"I don't think so. A henpecked man is someone who is afraid of his wife and listens to her in everything." Zhou Ye also raised the corners of his mouth with an obvious smile.
He doesn't usually smile, but this smile was so charming and moving that it made iron turn into soft silk. Lin Shu was charmed by him.
Lin Shu didn't let Zhou Ye discover her little thoughts, and asked: "Don't you listen to me in everything?"
"It depends on what it is. I won't listen to anything that's not good for you."
When Lin Shu heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up even higher.
"Aye, if I want to wait three to five years before getting married, do you have any objection?"
Zhou Ye paused for a moment before replying, "Ah Shu, I don't have any objections. I remember you said at the beginning that you would never marry. Now that you're willing to marry me, I'm already very satisfied. This is something I never dared to think about at first."
Zhou Ye pursed his lips slightly, as if realizing that he had accidentally said the cheesy words that Ah Shu had said.
Lin Shu couldn't help but laugh at him. "Yeah, there was a guy who initially claimed to treat me like a younger sister like Xiao Pu, but look how long it's been since he's had the audacity to kidnap the younger sister he was talking about. He's truly shameless, going back on his word, and acting all hypocritically."
Zhou Ye was silent. He knew very well that Ah Shu was teasing him.
But that's what he thought at the beginning, and he had no way to refute it.
Lin Shu snorted softly, "I'm such a beautiful girl, it's not an exaggeration to say I'm as pretty as a lotus emerging from the water, yet you actually think of me as your sister, without even glancing at me. You're like a wild boar that can't stomach fine chaff."
Zhou Ye suddenly asked in a low voice, "A Shu, how do you know I didn't look at you more than once?"
Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, then her eyes narrowed with laughter. "Oh~ So the guy who kept saying he wanted to treat me like a sister actually secretly glanced at me a lot when he still treated me like a sister?"
Zhou Ye looked at her and nodded, admitting it.
Lin Shu tutted her tongue twice. "Aye, you didn't fall in love with me at first sight without realizing it, did you? You men are all perverts. You say it's love at first sight, but in reality, it's just lust at first sight."
Zhou Ye moved his lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally explained: "Ashu, I don't. Thinking you are pretty is different from liking you."
"Alright, alright, got it. Don't say that again." Lin Shu's beautiful eyes flicked at him. "If you keep going, you'll be flirting with a young girl again."
Zhou Ye stopped talking.
"Aye, I didn't make you any snacks today. You've been working all day, are you hungry?"
Zhou Ye shook his head at first, but when he met Ah Shu's beautiful eyes and saw his own shadow clearly reflected in them, his heart suddenly felt warm for no reason, so he nodded again, "I listened to you and didn't work more, but sometimes I think of you in my mind, and I work faster and faster. It's just that when I'm hungry, I think of you, and then I don't feel so hungry anymore."
Zhou Ye said this in a serious tone, but Lin Shu was aroused by his straightforward love words. She was so angry that she immediately grabbed his arm and said, "I told you not to say these things, but why do you always ignore my words? Ah Ye, if you keep doing this, I will really be angry!"
After hearing this, Zhou Ye said with some regret and distress: "A Shu, I'm sorry, I can't help but want to tell you the truth."
He just looked into Ah Shu's eyes, and it was as if his soul was captured, and all the thoughts and ideas in his mind poured out all at once.
Lin Shu tried to hold back, but couldn't. She suddenly lowered her head and rested it on his chest to hide the slight blush on her face.
I’m dying, I’m dying, her little fairy character is no longer sustainable, because Aye looks more like a male fairy!
These days, it's not just the fair-faced scholars with red lips and white teeth who can be male demons; burly and strong men can be too! Look, isn't this one ready-made?
Zhou Ye was suddenly pushed by her and his body trembled slightly. He was so scared that he quickly looked around.
Although Ah Shu didn't reach out to hug him, her head was resting on his chest. If others saw this...
Fortunately, Lin Shu only pushed slightly and then raised her head, but the blush on her face did not fade away, but became even brighter.
"I told you differently. Come back quickly. You're hungry! For dinner, Aunt Lin, my mother, and I made some wild vegetable dumplings. We put lard, eggs, and the dried mushrooms you picked in the mountains. They're delicious, and I'm sure you'll like them."
After saying that, Lin Shu walked ahead.
Zhou Ye paused, then took two big steps to catch up. "Ah Shu, was this what you wanted to talk to me about earlier?"
Lin Shu turned her head and glanced at him, "If I have nothing to say, can't I just come to you alone?"
Zhou Ye quickly said yes, a smile in his eyes.
Ah Shu misses him?
He thought he wouldn't see Ah Shu the whole day and he would be the only one with her on his mind.
Zhou Ye followed Lin Shu back while putting on the shirt he had taken off earlier.
Lin Shu glanced back and saw him tying his belt, and then straightening his collar and hem.
Lin Shu's expression suddenly became subtle.
A man and a woman suddenly emerged from somewhere. The woman's cheeks were red, and the man was still putting on his clothes and tying his belt...
Lin Shu immediately quickened her pace and moved away from Zhou Ye.
After Zhou Ye put on his clothes and looked up, he saw Ah Shu almost jogging, and he couldn't help but look puzzled.
He didn't think much about it. Relying on his long legs and big steps, he caught up with Ah Shu in a few strides and returned to the yard with her.
After Uncle Zhao Sanshu and his friends came back, they didn't sit down to eat immediately. They always exchanged a few words of greeting first. When two of them came back, they washed their faces and hands and sat down.
Zhou Ye quickly went to wash his hands under the bamboo water pipe and sat down with a normal expression.
Not to mention Lin Shu, there was no sign of anything unusual on her face.
The table was set with dishes and chopsticks. The rice porridge, cooked neither too dry nor too watery, was paired with the wild vegetable dumplings. The men, who had just finished their work, devoured the porridge with relish, enjoying the joy of food after a day's work.
"Aunt Lin, what did you put in these wild vegetable dumplings? They are so delicious!" Liu Erzhuang asked after he finished two wild vegetable dumplings and went to get the third one.
Lin Zhaodi laughed and said, "I scooped a few spoonfuls of lard and mixed in some chopped eggs and diced mushrooms. It would be strange if it wasn't delicious! You guys all ate your fill. There's plenty of wild vegetable dumplings, and there's even a third pot steaming on the stove!"
Liu Erzhuang smiled and said okay, and slowed down his eating a little.
Whenever Ping'er's family held a banquet, the villagers would rush to eat, because there were only a few good dishes and if they didn't eat quickly, they would miss out, so everyone moved quickly at the table.
After Lin Zhaodi said this, Liu Erzhuang was no longer anxious.
Wang Changshun, who was eating wild vegetable dumplings in big mouthfuls, also slowed down.
When they slowed down, they looked at the filling of the wild vegetable dumplings and actually saw minced egg and diced mushrooms.
The filling in this half-bowl is mostly cattail leaves. Three scrambled eggs, minced to a meager size, don't have much. There are only seven or eight shiitake mushrooms, diced and mixed in with the chopped eggs. Once mixed in, they disappear completely, and if you don't look closely, you can't even tell. But with just a few chopped eggs and diced shiitake mushrooms, the taste is much better. And what's more, there are three tablespoons of lard scooped in. Lard is a meaty smell!
Liu Erzhuang and Wang Changshun both sighed in their hearts: Uncle Zhao and Aunt Lin are so willing to give up!
After a meal, several men ate about five wild vegetable dumplings, not to mention porridge, which was at least two bowls.
On Lin Shu's side, He Guixiang and Lin Zhaodi ate two wild vegetable dumplings, and Lin Shu and Lin Xiaopu also ate two, but they were the small wild vegetable dumplings that had been made earlier.
There were still a dozen or so wild vegetable dumplings left, and Zhou Ye ate them all by himself after making sure that everyone else was full, without waiting for Lin Zhaodi to speak.
Today's work was done here. Liu Erzhuang and Wang Changshun left with their bellies full.
When Zhao Laosan and Lin Zhaodi left, they thanked Lin Dashan's family profusely, especially Zhao Laosan. He really didn't expect that with the help of He Saozi and Lin Shu, his wife could prepare such sumptuous meals for two meals a day.
"Brother Lin, I really don't know how to thank you."
"Don't be polite, it's not a big deal." Lin Dashan waved his hand and looked cheerful.
Zhao Laosan, like Lin Zhaodi, didn't like to talk about it, but he kept it in mind. On the way back, he reminded Lin Zhaodi again: "Brother Lin and Sister He are both kind people. If their family needs any help in the future, we should help them more."
Lin Zhaodi replied, "Do I need to remind you of this? Sanlang, I really want the house to be repaired quickly so we can move in."
When Zhao Laosan thought of his parents and brother and sister-in-law at home, he fell silent for a moment and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Zhao Di, even though we've separated, we still have to come during the holidays. Don't be afraid, I'll accompany you."
Lin Zhaodi didn't say anything, but nodded after a moment.
She was already very satisfied that Zhao San could do this for her. Although her parents-in-law were cruel to her and her husband, they were Zhao San's biological parents after all, and she didn't want Zhao San to be completely alienated from his parents-in-law.
However, Liu Erzhuang and Wang Changshun, who were helping out today, went back and told the elders of the Liu and Wang families about the two meals today. The elders were all stunned.
"Son, you are not lying to me. You eat so well?" Liu Laoer said in surprise. He thought his son was lying to him, but it didn't seem like that. He told him everything he ate one by one, even the filling of the wild vegetable dumplings he had for dinner.
"Dad, why would I lie to you? The wild vegetable dumplings for dinner were so delicious. I ate five fist-sized wild vegetable dumplings! Not to mention breakfast. We don't even have such a big table of food during festivals! The fish pieces were fried in oil, the mushroom soup smelled like chicken, and the dried radish and diced cucumbers were fried in lard! And..."
When Liu Erzhuang finished speaking, the whole family was stunned.
Originally, I asked the second son to help out because of my friendship with Zhao Laosan, but it turned out that he was the right person to help? He was not going there to suffer, he was going there to enjoy himself!
The same thing was happening to the Wang family, a poor family in the village. However, Wang Changshun was not as good at speaking as Liu Erzhuang. When his parents asked him what he had eaten, he only told them dryly about the dishes.
After being shocked, Father Wang said to his eldest son, "Work hard, understand? You can't eat all these delicious meals for free."
Wang Changshun nodded.
Because her eldest son ate so well, Wang A Niang had other ideas. "Go ask your Third Uncle Zhao tomorrow if he needs any help. If he does, ask your second brother to go too."
Wang Changshun said nothing after hearing this.
Wang A Niang immediately slapped him on the shoulder and said unhappily, "I'm asking you a question! Look at how sullen you are, even though I hit you with a stick and you can't get anything out of it. No wonder you're still unmarried at the age of 25!"
Second brother Wang couldn't stand it any longer. "Mother, how can you blame my eldest brother for not being able to find a wife? It's because our family is too poor and no girl is willing to marry him."
Wang A Niang: ...
Damn boy, who is she doing this for? Seeing that the eldest son is getting older and older, it is difficult for him to get married. If the second son can't get married, when will she and the baby's father be able to hold their grandchildren? If the two sons go out to eat more meals, the family can save a lot of rice and grain. The more they can save, the better.
After a while, Wang Changshun muttered, "Mother, Uncle Zhao San is not short of help. Uncle Lin Er's Zhou Ye alone can do the work of three or four people."
Hearing this, the wife of the Wang family finally stopped thinking. That Zhou Ye boy was indeed incomparable to others.
Lin Shu had no idea that just two meals had caused the Wang family to have other thoughts, and she wasn't interested in any of this. As she went to bed at night, she thought about what she had seen during the day and accidentally fell asleep again.
Aye's eight-pack abs look so nice... She suddenly wanted to touch them.
