"No, Aunt, this is made specially for you by grandma, and I'm not hungry. I had an egg this morning."
He Yuan shook his head and refused. He was not hungry at all. His stomach was full. If he didn't want to follow her, he would have gone to show off to his friends.
Looking at the still warm noodles and eggs in the bowl, and thinking about her still hungry stomach, He Wanqing found it difficult to eat.
She didn't know what happened this time when she came back. She had eaten last night's meal yesterday, but now her stomach was as full as if she had just finished eating.
Thinking of the two cancers she had suffered before her death in her previous life, and the fact that she didn't feel hungry at all, she became panicked.
No way!
She has been reborn, so is it possible that lung, pancreatic and stomach cancer can follow her?
The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and the more panicked my originally rosy face turned pale.
"Aunt, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale?"
Seeing his aunt's face turn pale, He Yuan was shocked, thinking that he made her unhappy because he didn't eat noodles.
Then she reached out and took her hand that was not holding the bowl and chopsticks and touched his stomach: "Aunt, look, there is rice in your stomach that has not been digested yet?"
Feeling the warmth of her nephew, He Wanqing touched his head and said, "Aunt, it's okay. You can play for a while. I'll eat the noodles and then we'll leave."
She carried the noodles to the bamboo chair where she sat last night. While looking at the noodles in the bowl, she prepared herself mentally:
"I'm very hungry, He Wanqing, you're very hungry, I'm very hungry!"
I don’t know if it was the psychological preparation that worked or if she was really hungry, but soon after she finished speaking, she felt a strong feeling of hunger in her stomach.
After realizing that he was hungry, his pale face turned red again and tears formed in his eyes.
While biting a fried egg, he looked at He Yuan with a smile.
The eldest nephew is so handsome, he is worthy of being a member of the He family. He is even better than an ungrateful person.
In no time, she ate a bowl of noodles and a poached egg, which was just enough to fill her stomach one-third full.
He took the bowl to the well, fetched a bucket of water to wash the bowl, then washed his face again, applied some koala oil, and returned the bowl to Uncle He's kitchen.
Then he fetched the freshly boiled water and went to the field in the east with He Yuan who had been waiting for a long time.
The two walked and greeted each other along the way. When they met someone who liked to get to the bottom of things, He Wanqing would stop and talk to her. Only when both parties were satisfied would they continue to go to the field.
"Aunt, why did you talk so much to Third Grandma just now? Didn't you say she was a chatterbox before?"
He Yuan was almost at the end of the field. Seeing that no one greeted him, he asked the question in his mind.
"Of course she wants to pass the message through her mouth. Well, Erdan and the others are playing over there, you can go too. Dagu is staying in the field and won't leave."
Looking at his friends in front of the field, He Yuan was conflicted.
“.......”
He really wanted to go play with his friends, but he didn't want to break his promise to his father.
"Go ahead. Your grandma and the others are here. I'll be fine. If I have to go anywhere, I'll call you later."
Seeing the desire in his eyes, He Wanqing touched his cute face and pushed him to the right side of the field:
"I'm going to go find your grandma and the others. You can have fun by yourself! Remember not to go near the water."
"Got it, aunt." Nodding at her back, He Yuan ran quickly to his friend beside him, forgetting everything he had just seen.
Turning around to look at her nephew who was like a bird out of a cage, He Wanqing greeted the people working in the fields with a smile on her face.
"Uncle San, go fetch some water!"
"Aunt Wu, you scattered the seeds in the wrong direction. Be careful of getting criticized by the captain!"
"Aunt Zhang, please dig the pit slowly. Look, Sister Xiufang is so scared by your hoe that she is almost two miles away from you."
"Hey, Wanqing, didn't you say that you had set a date for your wedding? Why aren't you at home preparing for the wedding, but are you here in the fields?
I think your sister-in-law is doing a good job for you, you can go home now."
"Wanqing, I heard that you went to buy your trousseau yesterday. What did you buy? You didn't come back for the whole day, and your grandma and the others were worried."
"That's right, Wanqing, I heard from He Cao's mother that her family prepared two quilts, two enamel basins, two thermoses, and towels for her. What did your family buy?"
"You are joking, Aunt Wu. My wedding date may not be confirmed yet, unlike my cousin, who has a set date and everything must be prepared."
"What? Your wedding date may not be confirmed?"
Aunt Wu looked at her fellow workers, then dropped the hoes in their hands and ran to the edge of the field in three steps.
"Wanqing, tell me carefully, what happened?
Yesterday, the Xu family was shouting everywhere that you were going to get married, how come you came here overnight and the wedding date is still uncertain?"
On the other side, Aunt Zhang, who hadn't received an answer and wanted to say a few more words, heard what she said, and she and Xiufang dropped the things in their hands and rushed over.
"Wanqing, tell me quickly, is it true as the rumor says, that the guy in the Xu family does have someone else, but doesn't want to pay your family back, so he deliberately forced your family to cancel the engagement?"
"I've heard that, too, Sister Wanqing, is that true?"
Wu Xiufang remembered what everyone said in another field yesterday afternoon, and looked at He Wanqing curiously, wanting to know whether it was true or not.
Holding a kettle in her hand, when she heard the questions from these people, the smile on He Wanqing's face instantly disappeared, and she pretended not to know the rumors and exclaimed:
"Why are there still such rumors? I really don't know about it."
"Aunt Wu, you know what I said when the Xu family came to my house yesterday to set the date for the wedding.
Anyway, if his family doesn’t return the money, the notes, and the agreed betrothal gifts, the sewing machine, and the watch, then she can marry whoever she wants, but I won’t marry her anyway.”
"Sister Wanqing, are you really not aware of those rumors?" Wu Xiufang glanced at her with suspicion, and only withdrew her gaze after seeing that she was frank.
"I really don't know. No one told me when my uncle and his family returned.
And I went to the county town yesterday to look at the dowry, and I came back late, so I haven't had time to ask, how about Sister Xiufang, tell me again?"
It was just right for her to see what version of the rumor had become, so that she would have a better idea of what was going on.
“.......”
The words "going to the county town to purchase dowry" left the four of them at a loss for words.
"Wanqing, isn't there anything you like in the commune? Why do you have to go to the county town to buy it?" Aunt Zhang thought of the Xu family's appearance and curled her lips in disgust.
When he saw He Wanqing looking clueless and eagerly going to the county town to buy dowry, he kept shaking his head.
Thinking about the relationship between his family and the Xu family, he didn't tell anyone about yesterday's rumor.
After receiving a signal from Aunt Zhang, Wu Xiufang walked over and told her about yesterday's rumor.
