"You're not just too polite. How many people don't have enough food these days? They just count the grains of rice. Even if neighbors help each other, how can they send food every now and then?" Jiang Yule looked at the rice in his hand and felt that it was a little hot...
She can give some back, as a token of reciprocity.
But she was just an educated youth who had just arrived in the countryside. Given her current situation, she would have to stay here for at least two to three years. There were some things she didn't want to do too much. If the two families were to interact too closely, outsiders wouldn't know what would happen. Jiang Yule didn't want to take any risks on this matter.
Especially since she knew what Mu Chuan's family was planning.
"I think Grandma Mu Chuan wants to bring you two together," Meng Wanshu asked speculatively.
"Matchmaking also depends on whether it is suitable or not. Mu Chuan obviously has no intention of doing so," Jiang Yule said. Suddenly, she thought of the way he asked her to call him Mu Chuan that day. Jiang Yule inexplicably felt a little unsure...
"He doesn't care, what about you? I think Mu Chuan is a good guy. I heard Brother Qi Bo say a few words about Mu Chuan. It seems that Mu Chuan's parents were tricked. This matter implicated Mu Chuan, and he can't even be a soldier anymore."
"But I don't think it's a big deal. In the future, you will be vindicated sooner or later. You are good-looking, capable, and have a good background. Don't you really want to consider it?"
Meng Wanshu looked at Jiang Yule eagerly, waiting for her answer.
If she were to say, these two should be together, they are really pleasing to the eyes!
"Well...but Mu Chuan's figure and appearance are indeed to my taste, but a forced melon is not sweet, and I can't go after him if he's not interested, right?"
"What's the big deal? You have to twist it off and taste it to know if it's sweet or not. With Mu Chuan's figure and face, it's worth it!"
"Hahaha, that's true." The two looked at each other and laughed heartily. They both had modern thinking and were indeed much more open-minded emotionally than people of this era.
Jiang Yule had never been in a relationship before, and she always thought that love was about mutual affection. In addition, she wanted boys to take the initiative, so she subconsciously chose to distance herself from Mu Chuan, who was in line with her aesthetic standards in appearance, figure and voice.
After this conversation, Jiang Yule, who had been stuck in a dead end, opened up a new idea.
"It doesn't seem impossible," Jiang Yule muttered.
"Yes, considering our family's conditions, it won't take us long to take him down."
"What are you talking about, girl?" Jiang Yule pushed Meng Wanshu shyly.
"This is the truth," Meng Wanshu said playfully.
"Okay, eat quickly. After we're done, we'll clean up and send it to the neighbors. We'll also take some gifts to the three nearby families and visit them."
"Okay, I still have some date cakes that I made before, let's take those over," Meng Wanshu suggested.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I have some tea sent from the capital, take some with you."
Meng Wanshu nodded. After they had their meal, they washed up, changed their clothes, and went out with their gifts.
Grandma Qi's family and the captain's family were fine. They went in, put down the gifts, exchanged pleasantries, and then left. But Grandma Mu Chuan's family...
When Jiang Yule and the others left, Shen Wenke hadn't left yet. Seeing them coming in, he immediately had a deep understanding of what his mother and grandmother had said that morning.
Mu Chuan....is indeed a little bit off...
"Yu Le, Wan Shu, come in and sit down." Grandma Mu Chuan invited people to come in. Seeing the two elderly people in the house, Jiang Yu Le realized that she shouldn't call them Grandma Mu...
He quickly changed his words and said, "I'll still call you Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen."
"Okay, okay, you can call me anything you want." Grandma Shen held Yule's hand. Such a pretty little girl, she could call her anything she wanted.
"Girl, listen to your Grandpa Shen, take these things back, come to our house more often in the future, and don't bring these things with you."
"Grandpa, this jujube cake was made by Wanshu herself, and the tea was sent from the capital. Let me give it to you to try. We don't drink tea much either." Jiang Yule continued to push the thing forward. Mu Chuan's family members were very kind, and they were not as fussy as she had imagined.
Such a family made Jiang Yule silently give Mu Chuan a few more points in his heart.
"Okay, Grandpa will accept it this time. Don't take it again in the future. Just come to our house often to play."
"I'll listen to you, as long as Grandpa Shen doesn't find me annoying," Jiang Yule said to the old man coquettishly
"Don't mind, don't mind. It's not easy for you two girls out there. Your Aunt Aiping cooks delicious food. Just tell your Auntie what you want to eat."
"Yes, yes, yes, tell your auntie and she will make it for you." Fang Aiping, who was leaning her head to admire the beauty of the two girls, immediately came to her senses when she heard her father-in-law talking about her, and asked the two girls to come often.
"Okay, I'll let you know if I need anything next time."
The whole room chatted for a long time. Jiang Yule was afraid that he would have to stay for lunch later, so he sat with Meng Wanshu for a while before getting up and leaving.
Although Grandma Shen wanted the two girls to stay, she also knew that haste makes waste, so she did not force them to stay. She just told them to come and visit often, and then sent them away.
The two of them were too lazy to cook when they got home, so they just took some food from the space and thought about whether they should take a nap. As a result, they lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep.
Boom boom boom
There was a knock on Jiang Yule's door
"Yu Le, are you asleep?" Meng Wanshu asked softly while leaning against the crack of the door.
"Not yet, wait for me." There was a rustling sound from inside the door, and then Jiang Yule's door was opened. His eyes were clear, and it was obvious that he was not asleep.
"Are you sleepy?" Meng Wanshu asked
“Not sleepy”
"I'm not sleepy either," Meng Wanshu said with a pout. She had done nothing all morning and had just woken up at that hour. How could she sleep?
