dusk.
As the sun sets, golden sunlight shines on the eaves of these stilted houses.
Warm and peaceful.
Looking down from the mountaintop, the outline of the Miao village is shrouded in the thin mist of the twilight.
Fading in and out!
Especially on the mountainside, wisps of smoke rise from chimneys!
A kind of rustic charm hidden in the mountains, half-hidden by the thin mist in the sunset, is breathtakingly beautiful!
Having reached the mountaintop, Ah Chen and Ah Mo walked and looked back at the unique scenery of their Miao homeland, both sighing inwardly.
Quedongzhai and Heiwuzhai are truly beautiful!
This kind of beauty is different from that of Jinyang Ancient Village, Kongbei Ancient Village, and Duoyi Miao Village!
Although Mu Achen liked them all, this place was always his home, so he naturally felt a sense of belonging here.
Even though this place wasn't where he grew up, it was a new starting point in his life.
So, he took Amo's hand, gazed at the distant mountains, and felt the Miao ethnic charm of midsummer, unable to help but sigh:
"Amo, it feels so good to be home!"
Amo said, "Then take a look at the edge of the courtyard."
The courtyard threshold?
Ah Chen turned around and saw his mother-in-law and several aunties staring at him, with his mother-in-law wearing a stern face.
He shut it down instantly!
I had no interest in seeing the sunset scenery of the Miao people anymore; in my heart, I kept thinking:
It’s over!
It's definitely about the "Miao children" again.
Ah Chen wanted to run away, so he decided to slip away first.
But nowadays, no matter where he sneaks off, there are always aunties subtly urging him to have a baby!
It's no use, unless you're no longer in Miao territory.
"Don't be upset, let's go!"
Seeing Ah Chen's instantly deflated expression, Ah Mo suppressed a laugh and pulled Ah Chen upstairs.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Ah Chen was met with a barrage of gazes from the aunties, and he immediately felt as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on him. Fortunately, his sling arm attracted the aunties' attention, otherwise he would definitely have been "besieged".
"Ah Chen, how's your hand?"
"Oh dear, how come you came back with only one arm in a sling after just one trip to the county town?"
"Let me see, it's pitch black."
"Bug bites?"
The aunties who gathered around, under the guise of checking Ah Chen's hands, actually examined his entire body.
After all, they knew that with the Holy Maiden by their side, the insects couldn't harm Achen at all.
Now that they're injured, it means they must have gone through something even more dangerous.
But after a thorough examination, it turned out that Ah Chen not only had no problems at all, but was also perfectly fine, full of youthful vigor.
Could it be a problem with the saintess?
That shouldn't be happening!
The Holy Maiden is so powerful, there's absolutely no way she could have any problems.
Could it be that they--
The women exchanged glances, communicating quickly with their eyes.
The final conclusion was that Ah Chen and the Holy Maiden deliberately suppressed the arrival of the "Miao Child".
But how could Ah Mo's eyes escape the aunties' little schemes?
Amo smiled without saying a word, but a blush quietly crept onto her almond-shaped face.
Ten minutes later--
Achen was covered in sweat; he couldn't take it anymore and simply ran away.
"Ah Chen, why are you running away? The aunties of Que Dong Village will scold you."
Not going to tell?
I don't believe you at all!
The women of Quedong Village were more and more depressed than the last!
Everyone was worried that the Holy Maiden would be embarrassed, so they quickly dispersed, some returning to their orchards to rest, just to avoid adding any psychological burden to her.
If they run away again, the two chieftains will be furious.
"Amo, how did Achen get his hands like that? You didn't take good care of them!" As soon as I entered the house, my mother-in-law started asking.
Amo said, "We took a detour from the county town to Rongjiang, and then went deep into the mountains."
"Honestly, you know perfectly well that we Miao men are not like the girls in the deep mountains, yet you didn't take better care of Achen. Look at his hands—"
The mother-in-law was heartbroken.
Ah Mo smiled, but didn't explain anything about it.
But when she looked at how clean and tidy the house was, her heart warmed. While busy cooking, she asked, "Aren't you busy these days? Mother, you still have time to help us clean the house?"
“It wasn’t just Mother who cleaned it up; Ah Dong’s wife did it too.”
The mother-in-law leaned closer to Amo and whispered, "Did you really discuss it with Achen?"
“Mother, don’t rush us. We’ll make you happy at a more suitable time,” Amo said.
"Alright, alright, Mother won't rush you anymore! But aren't you all done yet?"
It's no wonder they're nagging me. I just won't say it out loud anymore, but how can I not think about it?
Amo said, "There's still a lot to do! There's still tea plantation and fruit from another 300 acres of land in Xingkong Fruit Forest that haven't come out yet, and there are sales arrangements for two more fruit forests. There's also rice that's almost ripe here, and there are the college entrance exam results for our Miao children, Miao Middle School, and so on. There's just too much to do."
"You're really busy."
"The end of the year...it might not even be the end of the year yet, Ah Chen still has to go out!"
"Why--"
My mother-in-law sighed so many times today; every time, it was because she was worried about her son-in-law.
Sometimes she thinks that the Miao village is gradually getting better, but her son-in-law is getting busier and busier.
Although the Miao people helped them, the burden fell entirely on him and Amo, and she couldn't accept it no matter who it crushed.
Seeing that Amo was busy with this and that as soon as she returned, her mother-in-law quickly took over the work.
"Go and rest. Mother will cook whatever you want to eat tonight."
“Mother, Amo is already married. How can we let you do these things at your son-in-law’s house?”
