Chang'an didn't stop working all day.
Even the cows and horses at home, after a busy day, are resting in their pens.
Seeing Gu Lili like this, Chang'an scratched his head sheepishly.
"I'm just killing time anyway, and besides, catching cicadas is like playing around, it's not tiring at all."
Chang'an knew he wouldn't do this job; Gu Lili would have to do it later.
Gu Lili reached out to take the bucket of water from Chang'an, but Chang'an skillfully avoided her.
"You don't need to carry it, I'll carry it in myself!" Chang'an said as he tried to carry the bucket of water toward the kitchen.
Gu Lili took a step forward and stood in front of Chang'an.
She chuckled softly as she pulled a clean white handkerchief from her sleeve.
"You too, you look about the same age as your second uncle, but you act just like him, like a child. You don't even bother to wipe the dust off your face."
As Gu Lili spoke, she naturally used a handkerchief to gently wipe the dust off Chang'an's face.
Chang'an felt a tingling sensation on her face, and her heart started racing.
Chang'an's hand involuntarily rose up and grasped Gu Lili's hand.
Gu Lili quickly pulled her hand back, her face turning bright red.
"Then...then take it in, I'm going to cook!" Gu Lili said, then ran back to the kitchen as if fleeing.
Luckily, there was no one else in the courtyard at that moment, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed!
As Gu Lili ran, she squinted and frowned slightly, muttering, "Gu Lili, Gu Lili, I remember you weren't a pervert before, were you? How come you just casually wiped Chang'an's face today? You must hold back next time. We agreed to wait until he finds his family before you do it. Even if he is really handsome, you can't lay a hand on him again!"
Lin Xiyao, who was learning cooking from Gu Chenxi in the kitchen, turned her head to look curiously when she heard Gu Lili's voice.
This sight startled Lin Xiyao. Gu Lili was blushing and walking along, saying things she couldn't understand.
Lin Xiyao quickly walked up to Gu Lili, and while touching Gu Lili's head with concern, she anxiously asked her questions.
"Lili, what are you saying about being a pervert and holding back? Why are you talking to yourself like this, and your face is so red? Are you sick?"
Seeing Lin Xiyao's anxious expression, Gu Lili felt even more embarrassed.
Luckily, Lin Xiyao didn't hear it, otherwise she would have laughed her head off.
Gu Lili smiled and pulled the small hand that had been testing the temperature on her head down and held it in her own hand.
"Yaoyao, I'm fine, it's just from the sun. By the way, how's your cooking lesson going?" Gu Lili quickly changed the subject.
If Lin Xiyao continued to press her for answers, Gu Lili felt she would be utterly ashamed.
Upon hearing that Gu Lili was alright, and after being interrupted by her, Lin Xiyao indeed forgot to continue asking questions.
He held Gu Lili's hand in his own and pulled her towards the stove.
Upon reaching the stove, Lin Xiyao scooped some soup into it with a spatula and looked at Gu Lili expectantly.
"Come on, Lili, try my boiled fish and see how it tastes!"
Gu Lili looked at the bright red boiled fish and unconsciously swallowed.
Judging from its color and aroma, this boiled fish is definitely top-notch.
Gu Lili gently blew on the soup, carefully sipped it, and her eyes lit up instantly.
"Yaoyao, not bad! It seems Chenxi has taught you her cooking skills without reservation!" Gu Lili praised without reservation.
Lin Xiyao was quite an extraordinary woman. She was a lady from a prominent family, but she had no interest in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
She also had little interest in needlework.
Unexpectedly, he is quite accomplished in both cooking and martial arts.
When Lin Xiyao heard Gu Lili praise her like that, her eyes crinkled with laughter.
"Hehe, since you said so, Lili, then I must have done a good job! Chenxi, thank you for your guidance!" Lin Xiyao said playfully.
Lin Xiyao's love for cooking stemmed entirely from Lord Lin.
Lord Lin was so passionate about farming that he sometimes forgot to eat.
Seeing this, Lin Xiyao felt sorry for him, so she learned to cook and had someone send it to Lord Lin.
As long as he hears that it was his beloved daughter who cooked it, even if Lord Lin is so busy, he will definitely make time to eat it.
Chang'an looked at Gu Lili in front of the stove, silently carried in the bucket of water and put it away, then turned and left the kitchen.
However, the sensation of that moment on my face still seemed to linger.
Or rather, it's imprinted in my heart.
Although Gu Lili's mutterings were not loud, Chang'an heard them all.
This extraordinary hearing might be attributed to some martial arts technique he practiced before he lost his memory.
Chang'an understood Gu Lili's meaning: as long as his identity remained public, there was absolutely no possibility between Gu Lili and him.
Once this busy period is over, I will go to Jiangdu with Gu Lili and find out about my background.
The meal was quickly prepared, and after everyone had eaten, Chang'an drove the carriage to pick up Gu Yun Chu and the others to go home.
Gu Lili took advantage of the early hour and led Xiao Li'er and Da Lao Hei on foot to escort Lin Xiyao and Cuizhu home.
It's also a good opportunity to see how the mud crabs released today have helped eliminate the golden apple snails.
After dropping Lin Xiyao off, Gu Lili walked home along the fields.
The crabs released today were indeed effective; Gu Lili discovered that several of them were enjoying a feast of golden apple snails.
It is believed that, given time, the number of these golden apple snails will definitely decrease sharply.
Crabs have a strong reproductive capacity, which is why they have the "Uncle Fortune" label.
In the future, every year, we can buy blue crabs from all over the place and then buy space.
That's a considerable sum of money.
It not only boosted economic development but also helped ordinary people.
As Gu Lili thought about it, her steps became lighter.
This is a win-win situation, and anyone would be very happy in this situation.
As I was walking back, I saw a familiar figure working in the field.
Gu Lili took a look and saw that it was Yang Dadan, who had been forced to kneel at the head of the manor all night as punishment by Gu Lili the previous night.
Gu Lili glanced at him once, then looked away and continued walking forward.
"Princess, please wait."
Yang Dadan's voice came from behind Gu Lili. Gu Lili stopped and turned around to look at Yang Dadan.
Yang Dadan, who was still in the field, came out of the field when he saw Gu Lili stop.
Because the fields were all muddy, Yang Dadan's trouser legs were rolled up to his thighs.
He came out of the field without pulling down his trouser legs, and instead walked towards Gu Lili with his head down.
Upon seeing this, Gu Lili frowned slightly and quickly looked around.
Right now, most families are having their meals, and there's no one in the fields.
