Wu Yuer came back along the route she remembered. The girl was carrying a basket full of pig grass and had a sickle on her waist. She walked the man to the village entrance without saying a word.
Fearing gossip, Wu Yuer quickly changed her route home after parting without looking back.
Naturally, she missed the young man who stopped and watched her leave reluctantly.
When I got home, Wu Da, who had just come back from chopping wood, was carrying the wood to the kitchen.
I cook every day and the firewood at home is used up quickly.
By the time Wu Yuer put down her backpack and went to the kitchen to get some water, the nimble man had already quickly piled up piles of wood.
He wiped the sweat from his head and turned to look at his sister who came in to pour water.
Suddenly his eyes fixed on the little girl's mask with broken corners. The farmer was not good at hiding things and asked directly about his doubts in front of her.
"Sister, what's wrong with your mask? Someone is bullying you."
Thinking of his sister being bullied, Wu Da's thick eyebrows were furrowed and his expression looked fierce.
Coupled with his bulging pectoral muscles and the big arm muscles trembling with dormant strength, he pounces with a fierceness ready to strike.
Wu Yuer gulped down a bowl of water, raised his head and put the bowl on the stove, then wiped his bumpy mask.
Considering the young master's reputation, Wu Yuer lied without thinking and said that she fell accidentally.
The elder brother looked at her suspiciously, but the little girl remained calm and walked out of the house freely.
Behind.
"I'll make you a new mask tomorrow."
Wu Yuer's mask was made by Boss Wu. Although Boss Wu looks like a strong man, he is very skillful.
There is no work he can't do, such as washing clothes, cooking, and fiddling with wood.
He did it right away. The next day, Wu Da went up the mountain to cut a piece of wood, took it home to dry, and started to plan and dig on it.
After quickly working out the rough shape, the eldest brother took the rough mask and measured it on his sister's face.
When it is not the busy farming season, Wu's mother and her daughter gather in the yard, sit in the sun, and eat some preserved fruits, cakes and other things to pass the time.
"Yu'er, Pingping came to see you. Is it because the young master missed you and asked you to go home?"
Now that his daughter has returned home, the young man must be missing her very much and is coming to see her every few days.
Pingping never comes empty-handed, and always brings rare things from the village.
His eyes swept over the benches filled with exquisite pastries, bowls and plates of preserved fruits, and precious goods.
She had never eaten or seen anything before in her life, but she had eaten a lot and seen a lot in the past two days.
I guess the daughter and son-in-law are having a quarrel, and now the son-in-law can't wait to coax her.
As a mother, she should always speak well of her son-in-law.
Besides, it was obvious that her son-in-law was thinking about her daughter from what he had done these days.
"How did Lansheng make you angry? I think he probably knows he's wrong."
Seeing her daughter drink a sip of tea, Wu's mother couldn't see Wu Yuer's expression because of the mask, so she weighed the words on her lips.
"When a newlywed couple starts a family, they need to adjust to each other's daily life. When your father and I got married, we were unfamiliar with each other and it was inevitable that there would be friction. But over time, we gradually began to feel the good.
We are all just people trying to make a living. If we work together as a family, there won't be any hurdles we can't overcome, don't you think? "
Wu Yuer understood what her mother said, but the problem was that her relationship with Li Lansheng was not destined to last long.
Wu Yuer couldn't hold these words in her heart and couldn't say them out loud. Her mother looked at her with concern, and she nodded helplessly.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside. It was neither early nor late, just right.
Without having time to look at anyone, Wu Yuer stood up and walked out first. Mother Wu looked at her daughter's back as she was eager to escape and shook her head helplessly, then followed her.
The door of the Wu family was open. Lu Shengping, who was standing outside, knocked politely, making a noise. He put down his hand and waited patiently outside.
But his eyes kept looking towards the yard. Seeing the girls coming one after another and the black mother behind them, he unconsciously tightened his grip on the basket on his arm.
Lu Shengping, his upper teeth rubbing against his lower teeth nervously, was well aware of the relationship between the Yiwu and Lu families. His sudden visit was obviously inappropriate.
But, the young man couldn't help it and stared at the young girl who was walking towards him.
The young man with an infatuated look on his face suppressed the passion growing in his eyes.
He sighed secretly, thinking that he might have lost his heart long ago.
The moment the girl took off her mask and revealed her true face that day, from that day on, his heart no longer belonged to him, but to her.
"Why are you here?"
Since that day, Wu Yuer never met Lu Shengping in the village again.
Now that she saw that he looked normal, she felt relieved and asked politely.
Behind him, Mother Wu looked at the young man who suddenly came to the door and behaved awkwardly, and was secretly puzzled.
The Wu and Lu families are no longer as close as they were in the past. No matter what, after the Lu family broke off the engagement, the relationship between the two families could never be restored to what it was before.
In the past, you ignored me and I ignored you, so why is the kid from the Lu family coming here today?
Wu Yuer kept her mouth shut out of consideration for Lu's reputation, and didn't even tell her family what happened in the mountains.
Therefore, Wu Mu did not know Lu Sheng's purpose of coming.
Lu Shengping was also smart. He just said that he had received help from the girl from the Wu family last time, and this time the elders in his family asked him to come over to express his gratitude.
Wu's mother didn't think much about it after hearing this. No one knew her daughter's personality better than her as a mother.
He is a kind-hearted person who likes to take care of the weak. Otherwise, how would he get a son-in-law? He is repaying him for saving his life.
He quickly invited the young man who was cramped outside the door in and served him tea and water.
Tell yourself that the young man who didn't plan to stay any longer and left after delivering the eggs has finally met his sweetheart.
He was thinking about leaving, but his feet were stuck and he couldn't take a step forward, so he was obediently pressed down on the chair by the warmly welcoming Wu Mu.
"We are from the same village and should help each other. Why should we be so divided? It will only make us alienated. We can't keep this egg."
Wu Mu, who came in with water, saw the basket of eggs at Lu Shengping's feet, put down the bowl, and hurriedly pushed away the basket that the young man handed to her.
"Lu, your feelings are known to your aunt, and Yu'er knows it too."
As he spoke, he called out to Wu Yuer, who was keeping her head down and saying nothing.
"Yu'er, are you right?"
Looking up, I saw my mother and Lu Shengping pushing and pulling each other's hands.
"Aunt, please accept it. I will feel really bad if you don't accept it."
Wu Yuer was worried that Lu Shengping would think too much if she didn't accept it, so she stood up and took the basket that they had been pushing and pulling for a long time and put it on the table.
Then she gritted her teeth and explained to Wu Mu who was looking at her with a reproachful look.
"Mother, they really do have this intention. You should accept him. If you don't, the young master of the Lu family might feel uneasy."
At this time, Wu Mu patted her head, smiled, and warmly invited the young man who lowered his head shyly to stay at home for lunch.
Lu Shengping knew clearly that he shouldn't have done that, but he couldn't resist the pounding in his heart.
He secretly glanced at the girl beside Wu Mu with affection, but didn't dare to look at her any longer. Then he looked away. The young man lowered his head and nodded shyly in agreement under the gaze of the other two.
