Shui Qing, completely oblivious to her own feelings, asked blankly, "Should I be so worried as to urge them?"
It's not a good idea to abruptly interrupt someone's reminiscing.
Fan Jin was furious, but had nothing to say.
He kept looking back at her, but he never saw any panic, jealousy, concern... or even resentment on her face.
Her eyes were wide open, filled with excitement and curiosity.
It's like watching a show... No, Shui Qing definitely trusts him!
Yes, it's about trusting him, not just being indifferent to things that don't concern you.
Shui Qing watched as Fan Jin beside her went from being angry to being calm in the blink of an eye.
This person is quite emotionally stable; they can comfort themselves when something happens.
Although I don't know what happened, it's good that the person is emotionally stable.
"Next time, if something like this happens, remember to urge me," Fan Jin thought for a moment, still feeling uneasy, and gave a low, gentle reminder.
Shui Qing was surprised. Was a poor scholar really that popular?
"There will be a next time?"
Fan Jin thought Shui Qing was angry, and a surge of joy rose in his heart. He quickly suppressed his joy and promised, "There won't be a next time!"
Shui Qing nodded.
The next time will probably be after you pass the imperial examination.
There's still plenty of time, no rush.

next day
Just as dawn was breaking, Fan Jin quietly got up, cut some grass to feed the cattle, and then carried a bamboo basket on his back towards Niutou Town.
The oxcart will be useful today. There's nothing to carry on our trip to my father-in-law's house, and the journey there and back will be quick.
As soon as Shui Qing woke up, she washed up and took her things to the old village chief's house.
"Are you really going to build a house?" Wang Guifen asked in surprise as she fed the chickens with a winnowing basket.
Zhang Hui, the second son's wife, also stepped forward and asked, "When does it start?"
They knew Fan Jin and Shui Qing were going to build a house, but they didn't expect it to happen so soon!
It's still a brick and tile house.
I remember when we were building our own brick house, the whole family discussed it over and over again, and it took almost half a year to finalize the decision. Before we were sure we were going to build it, we were so excited that we couldn't sleep for nights on end.
Shui Qing smiled brightly and said to the two of them, as well as to the old village chief in the courtyard: "Let's begin today!"
We bought a blueprint and hired a few skilled bricklayers, who should arrive before noon. So now we want to gather everyone in the village to see how many we have so we can distribute the work.
"Hey, the news that you're building a house and hiring people spread all over the place last night. Now, if you just shout it out, everyone will come!" Wang Guifen said casually.
Zhang Hui chimed in, "Yes, putting everything else aside, the three men in our family definitely want to go!"
"Elder brother, take out the gong and strike it," the old village chief said.
Shuiqing also knew that apart from a few particularly lazy families and those who had disagreements, the rest of the villagers would not pass up the opportunity to make money.
However, it would be too much trouble to go door to door and call out to each one individually.
The main reason for coming to the old village chief's house was to facilitate the direct allocation of tasks.
Moreover, they had to carry bricks and tiles, which were stored at a brick kiln. Only the three Li brothers in the village knew the exact location.
Not only men came, but also quite a few women.
