Thinking of what his grandma said before leaving, Mu Chuan stuffed the basket into Qi Bai's hands without thinking, "You come along."
Qi Bai: .....
I sighed slightly, took the two baskets and ran out the door quickly. As expected... I sent two people home, and they said...
"Okay, let's eat. How about trying my cooking?"
After Qi Bai brought back the food, Meng Wanshu asked everyone to sit down. The meal was very rich and delicious. Compared with the low oil and salt consumption in every household in this era, Meng Wanshu's meal was delicious and full of flavors.
With the soda they brought back from town, everyone enjoyed the meal.
The only downside is that I didn't get to have a drink...
After dinner, we cleaned up the dishes and went home to rest.
Meng Wanshu and Jiang Yule finished washing up, and then sat down on the reclining chairs in the yard, enjoying the evening breeze.
"Yu Le, we still have one day off tomorrow. What do you think we should do?" Meng Wanshu sat on the rocking chair in the yard, swaying back and forth, looking at the stars in the moonlight in the night sky, slightly absent-minded.
"I don't know, but I plan to rest at home. When work starts the day after tomorrow, it will be difficult for us to rest."
"Well, it's fine as long as I go to work. I don't rely on those work points to make a living anyway," Meng Wanshu said nonchalantly.
"It's also okay for the sake of face." Jiang Yule let out a long breath. Although it was okay for the sake of face, it was farm work after all. How could it be easy?
"Also, don't say that when you go out next time. If someone catches you saying that, you'll suffer the consequences."
"Yeah, I know." Meng Wan let out a long sigh. Why was she born in such an era? Even if it was a few years later, the situation would be much better than it is now. It's a pity that things in the world can't always go as one wishes.
"Go back to bed early." Jiang Yule got up from the recliner and asked Meng Wanshu to rest early.
"Well, you go back first, I still want to get some fresh air."
"Well, be careful not to catch a cold." Jiang Yule got up and went back to the room, locked the door, put on her nightgown and lay in the soft quilt she had added several mattresses to.
The nights in the countryside are much cooler than the daytime. The small lattice windows under the eaves are opened a little, and a breeze blows through, which is very comfortable. Accompanied by the chirping of insects and birds, Jiang Yule gradually falls asleep.
Jiang Yule sleeps peacefully here
Mu Chuan, who was just across the street from me, couldn't even sleep...
"Grandma, what can I do? The educated youth have been in the countryside for less than three days. You dragged me there yesterday. What can I do?" Mu Chuan sat on the kang helplessly. As for his grandma staying up late at night and dragging him to argue about how to look at the educated youth next door, he could only use his eyes to see it. What can he do...
"What's wrong with three days? Your grandpa and I fell in love at first sight. Three days is a long time."
"No, I'm not asking you to be sure now. I just want to ask you, who do you like better, Yule or Wanshu?"
"Grandma, it's wrong for us to talk about lesbians at home like this," Mu Chuan said righteously.
"Let me tell you, whether you were in the army or in Beijing before, you were far away and your grandma couldn't take care of you, but you are right in front of me now. Your mother gave me a mission at that time. You must get married in the next few years."
"I think Yule is a good person. She is pretty, gentle, well-educated and sensible. She is pleasing to the eye, but..."
Grandma Mu seemed to think of something while she was talking. She looked Mu Chuan up and down, and occasionally made a few tut-tut sounds, with a hint of disdain...
Mu Chuan felt uneasy when his grandma looked at him. Everything he said before was going smoothly, but why did it suddenly go wrong...
Mu Chuan's heart suddenly tightened.
"No...but what?"
Grandma Mu glanced at Mu Chuan with a hint of disdain and said, "Don't you say you don't want to talk about lesbians? Why are you asking?"
Mu Chuan: The arrow shot out eventually hits oneself...
"This...isn't this just a matter of words?" Mu Chuan explained helplessly. No matter how quiet and cold he was outside, in front of his grandma, he could only be a little brat who never grew up...
But Grandma Mu didn't intend to keep it a secret, and followed Mu Chuan's words to speak out her true feelings, "What else can I do? You're old!"
Mu Chuan: I shouldn’t have asked...
"You said Yule is only 18 years old, and you will be 28 in two years!"
"Grandma, I'm 24 this year"
"You're still 24, your birthday is too young, you're already 26 when you're only two years younger, and you're 8 years younger than Yu Le."
"I'm telling you, don't think that grandma is speaking too early. A girl like Yule, who is pretty, educated, and comes from such a family, hasn't started working yet. When she does, you'll see. Many families in the village are eyeing her."
Grandma Mu saw that although Mu Chuan was looking down and didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't look impatient, so she gave him a few more instructions.
"You, even if you don't like Yule in the future, you should protect her when things go wrong. Many people in the village now know that Yule's parents are gone. Although they are the relatives of martyrs, it just sounds glorious. Most people see that this girl is helpless and easy to control. In addition, she has some money in her hands. Grandma is worried that someone will have bad intentions."
"Yes, I understand, grandma." Mu Chuan lowered her head and responded softly, not knowing whether Zhou Jiashu was her supporter...
"Okay, you should go to bed early too." Seeing him like this, Grandma Mu Chuan sighed slightly and turned back to the house.
After grandma left the room, Mu Chuan lay down on the kang, looking at the ceiling in a daze. Jiang Yule was indeed a little different to him. Maybe it was because of the clear eyes she looked at him with, maybe it was because of the helplessness she felt when she said her parents were martyrs, maybe it was because of her energetic appearance during the day.
