The farmers are all very simple and honest. There are only about thirty households in the entire farm, and any news about each family will spread very quickly.
Everyone likes to join in the fun, so if there's a happy event in someone's family, everyone will take the initiative to help without anyone having to ask.
Xiao Yi soon arrived at the gate of the Liang family courtyard, but the gate was closed, and it seemed that no one was at home.
Xiao Yi stood here, feeling his breathing a little quickened. The scorching sun made him sweat profusely, and he was still struggling in his heart whether to knock on the door.
What if no one is home when he knocks on the door? The mutton in hand must be placed in a dry and cool place in this weather, otherwise it will go bad easily. But if someone is home after he knocks on the door, how should he greet them?
If Grandma Liang or Grandpa Liang opened the door, what would he say?
What if it was Cuicui? What should he say to avoid embarrassment?
To be honest, he was not that nervous when he went to Liu's house at that time, because he and Liu were arranged together, and they had only met two or three times until the wedding night. At most, they had some feelings for each other after getting along.
Now, I feel the nervousness of pursuing a girl in a serious way.
Xiao Yi spent at least a quarter of an hour preparing himself mentally. An old lady who was weeding in the field not far away looked at him for a while and couldn't stand it anymore. She simply dropped her hoe, walked to Xiao Yi, and shouted into the yard:
"Cui Cui, are you at home? There are guests at your house."
Xiao Yi was a little confused by her shout and just looked at her in a daze.
Soon, Liang Cuicui's voice came from the yard:
"I'm at home, I'll be right there!"
Her voice was very clear, like a mountain lark, and Xiao Yi's nerves were instantly stretched to their limit.
"This young man, you look really energetic. Are you discussing marriage with Cuicui recently? Why are you a grown man and still shy? Be more open!"
The old lady teased Xiao Yi with a smile, and Xiao Yi's neck turned red, but it was not caused by the sun.
Soon, the yard door creaked open. Liang Cuicui was holding needle and thread in her hands, probably embroidering something at home.
She opened the door and saw Xiao Yi standing there stupidly with things in his hands, sweating profusely and looking a little embarrassed.
She also didn't expect that the moment they saw each other, their eyes met and they both panicked.
Xiao Yi hadn't seen her for more than half a month and felt that she had lost a lot of weight. Now she looked just right, neither fat nor thin. She was like two completely different people compared to the first time they met.
It was said at the beginning that Liang Cuicui was a potential stock, and she would definitely look great when she lost weight. Xiao Yi had to admit that he was crazy moved at that moment.
Liang Cuicui never thought that he would come so soon. She was worried that he would not come. She had been waiting for news from Jiang Sui and was afraid that Xiao Yi would directly reject her love. She had been feeling uneasy these two days.
Now he was standing in front of her, but it had only been a day. She was not sure whether he was coming to reject her or...
Forget it, she didn't dare to think too much.
"Cui Cui, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and invite the people in. Look how you are sweating under the sun." The old lady saw that she was still in a daze and quickly reminded her.
Today, Grandpa Liang and Grandma Liang went to the mountain to look after the fruit trees and were not at home, so she was the only one at home looking after the house.
Liang Cuicui finally reacted and moved aside to let Xiao Yi in.
"Brother Xiao, come in and sit down. I'll make you some tea."
Xiao Yi nodded to the old lady, then carried his things into the yard awkwardly. Liang Cuicui was at a loss for a moment and didn't know what to do. She held the needle and thread in her hands, and her brain was short-circuited.
Xiao Yi was the same. After he came in, he didn't know where to put his things and just stood there stupidly.
Seeing the reactions of the two people, the old lady became more certain that something good was going to happen between them, so she couldn't help but giggle and continued to joke:
"Cui Cui, you have to treat the young man well. Hey, I was wondering why there were always matchmakers coming to your house to propose marriage to you, but you refused. It turns out that you have someone in your heart. It seems that our farm will have another happy event soon."
The old lady talked so much to the two young people that their faces turned red, and then she went back to the fields to continue working.
Xiao Yi also caught the key point. A matchmaker came to the door? To propose marriage? Didn't agree?
Hearing that many people wanted to marry her, he was actually a little anxious.
Liang Cuicui calmed down and finally came to her senses. She went back to the house to put down her needle and thread, then came out to take the things in Xiao Yi's hand and asked him to sit under the flower stand in the yard to rest and enjoy the cool air.
"Please sit down first. I'll go get you some tea. It's too hot, isn't it?"
Xiao Yi shook his head and smiled a little silly:
"I'm not hot. These cakes are for you, the wine is for Grandpa Liang, and the brown sugar and meat are for Grandma Liang. I don't know if you like them, so I just bought some randomly. Don't be disgusted."
He explained it so clearly that Liang Cuicui couldn't help laughing.
"I like it. As long as it's bought by you, I like it!"
Look, this girl is so sensible and good at speaking.
Liang Cuicui took the things to the inner room, then brought out a pot of cold tea made with well water, and then brought out a plate of flower cakes she made herself and some cut watermelons from Jingshui Town.
"Try this. This is a flower cake I made myself. The watermelon is also grown in my own field. I put it in the well early in the morning. It is very sweet."
She prepared all these and sat down opposite him in a very reserved posture, with her head slightly lowered and a smile on her face, a hint of pink between her brows.
There was a strong sense of ambiguity between the two of them.
Xiao Yi ate a piece of watermelon and then a piece of flower cake. He had never eaten so politely before, taking small bites at a time. Both of them felt embarrassed and shy.
"You are so capable. You can do everything." Xiao Yi praised.
Liang Cuicui was very happy to be praised by the man she liked, and her smile became even deeper.
The gate to their yard was not closed. Soon, several women of her age suddenly appeared at the gate, all sticking their heads to look inside. They were all there to watch the fun.
I don’t know who spread the word so quickly, but the news spread and all the girls in the village came to see Liang Cuicui’s lover.
They winked at Liang Cuicui and teased her with their eyes.
Liang Cuicui was almost embarrassed to death. She glared at them. Xiao Yi also felt uncomfortable being stared at and smiled awkwardly.
"If you guys want to come in, hurry up. What are you doing standing at the door?"
Liang Cuicui simply shouted at them.
The girls all covered their mouths and laughed, whispering to each other.
"Look, Cuicui's sweetheart is quite handsome!"
"Yes, no wonder she wants to lose weight so much, it's great, they are a perfect match!"
The girls on the farm were also very simple and kind, without any bad intentions. They had all grown up together, so they were naturally happy for the little sister to have found her true love.
