"Jill's staying at his grandmother's for two days. He'll be back tomorrow. Auntie can let Jill come visit you then, okay?"
"good."
Watching the eldest sister-in-law send Jier's mother out, the conversation between the two was no longer as awkward as it was some time ago, and even more intimate. Shen Heng was happy for the eldest sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart. The relationship between people becomes deeper and deeper through such interactions.
"These water chestnuts are really fresh. I'll wash some for you to eat." After seeing the people off, Xia picked up the basket and went to the well.
"Sister-in-law." Xie Jian came out of the woodshed carrying a bundle of firewood. He glanced at the gate and said, "Neighbors and relatives, even if you appear warm and welcoming, you should be careful in your heart. There's no need to be too open with your heart."
Xia was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to say something good to justify the friendship they had finally restored: "Ji'er's mother is different from others."
Chen Heng wanted to say that there was no need to be so nervous, but when she thought that Min'er might be Eunuch Lianzhen, she changed her words: "Sister-in-law, I also think that Ji'er's mother is different from others. She is a warm-hearted person, and we should always be on guard against others." No one knows what unexpected changes will happen.
The two most important people in the family said so. Xia nodded: "I understand."
Seeing Xie Jian looking at her with deep black eyes, Shen Heng smiled at him. She had an ordinary appearance, but her teeth were long and straight, without any cavities, so she loved to smile.
Xie Jian turned his face away awkwardly. He found this woman more and more pleasing to the eye recently.
There are still six days until October.
Only then did Shen Heng realize that there was an entrance exam required to enter the academy. No wonder Lord Lu told Xie Jian's family to prepare well.
So if I don’t do well in the exam, I won’t be able to get in?
Of course, Shen Heng was not worried at all about this.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and another cold wave is coming.
Leng Chenheng just wanted to sleep in bed with her husband in her arms every day.
"Auntie, Auntie." Little Xie Min ran in and rocked Chen Heng, who was still sleeping in the quilt. "Hurry up and get up. It's snowing. Come with me to build a snowman."
"It's snowing?" Shen Heng perked up instantly: "How thick is it?"
"It's up to my ankles."
Chen Heng jumped out of bed, put on her clothes in a few seconds and rushed out. Xue, she is here.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, the smile on his face froze: "Where's the snow?" There was sunshine, cold wind, and frost on the grass in the corner of the house. How could there be any snow?
Xie Min made a face at Chen Heng, ran into the kitchen and shouted happily: "Mom, uncle's method really works, auntie was really tricked into getting up."
Chen Heng: “…” She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing his aunt coming into the kitchen to catch him, Xie Min ran around the table. When he was about to be caught, he screamed in fright, and then burst into laughter.
Xia kept shoveling the porridge with an iron shovel, fearing that it would become mushy, while watching the two of them playing and laughing.
"Childish." While lighting the fire, Xie Jian looked at the aunt and nephew who were still quarreling. Although he said so, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
