Noticing Chen Yao's gaze, Gu Lin looked towards her, and then saw that she was staring at his slightly wet hair, looking a little absent-minded.
Her eyes were wet and a little shy at the moment, which reminded Gu Lin of his dream last night...
【Don't……】
[Tap gently...]
…
And when he was concentrating, she would run her hands through his messy hair...
hiss--
Don't think about it.
He reminded himself.
Don’t look at Chen Yao anymore.
He looked away.
Then Chen Yao found that Gu Lin only gave her a complicated look, and then continued to concentrate on eating, almost not looking at her the whole time.
Chen Yao was stunned. What... was going on?
Normally, he would secretly glance in her direction, so why, after a night of dreams, was he... even more distant?
Chen Yao was puzzled and just followed suit, eating in silence.
Only the system whispered, "Master Host, this Gu Lin is indeed as you said, a rather dull person, and he seems a little unromantic."
Chen Yao raised an eyebrow, suddenly caught the blind spot in its words, and asked curiously: "Aren't you unable to see the face of the male protagonist of the small world clearly?"
The system scratched its head sheepishly and explained, "Every time I arrive at a new small world, I can see a little more clearly. Although I can't see it clearly now, I can get a general idea."
Chen Yao understood, picked up a few pieces of food, put them in her mouth, and ate slowly.
Then she heard Shen Zhishan talking to her:
"Yaoyao, you're going to work in town tomorrow, so you must pack everything you need to take with you in advance today, okay?"
Shen Yao nodded obediently and replied, "I know, Dad, I'm already cleaning it up."
Shen Zhishan: "Well, that's fine. Get up at dawn tomorrow and ride the bicycle at home."
Chen Yao: "Okay."
Xu Huilan then advised, "If you're busy at work, you don't have to come back every other day. It's okay to wait a few days. Don't worry, work is more important."
Chen Yao: "Well, I'll see how the situation goes."
Xu Huilan: "Do I need to bring a lot of things? For example, do I need to bring large items like quilts?"
Chen Yao thought about it and said, "It should be."
Shen Zhishan and Xu Huilan were startled, then looked at Shen Che at the same time.
Chen Che: Ah, yes, what’s the matter?
Shen Zhishan said, "Che'er, go to Fang Wen's house and borrow their bicycle. Take your sister to town tomorrow and help her carry some extra luggage."
Shen Che finally understood, nodded and said, “I understand, I’ll go later.”
When the topic of leaving home came up, the atmosphere at the dinner table seemed to suddenly become a little different.
Shen Zhishan and Xu Huilan felt like they had endless instructions and worries, while Shen Che felt that his sister had really grown up and was starting to go out and face the outside world.
And Gu Lin...
I felt a tingling sensation in my heart, mixed with complicated emotions, and it was hard for me to figure out my true feelings about Chen Yao leaving home.
…
After dinner, Chen Yao went to her private plot to check on the growing vegetables. After seeing that they were growing more and more vigorously, she felt relieved.
Then she went to look at the little rabbits again, touched them one by one, and swallowed slightly.
Xu Huilan, who was picking eggs from the chicken coop, couldn't help but smile when she saw this. She said, "Yaoyao, why are you so greedy for this rabbit? Why don't we wait a month or two and then kill one?"
Chen Yao was about to say yes when she heard Xu Huilan say, "No, we don't even have to wait a month or two. We can wait until the day before Captain Gu and your brother return to the barracks, and then we can kill one and eat it. I think we should just kill the biggest one."
The biggest one Xu Huilan mentioned is the mother of the little rabbits.
Chen Yao nodded and agreed: "Okay, then we will eat the big one first."
Seeing Chen Yao so active, Xu Huilan thought of the day when they caught rabbits and brought them home. She and Shen Che described how Gu Lin looked when he caught them.
After Gu Lin leaves, it should be difficult for anyone to catch rabbits for her, right?
After all, her father wasn't a good hunter, and her brother... not to mention him.
And this litter of rabbits, even if they were allowed to reproduce, wouldn't be able to support so many...
However, this also suddenly gave her some new thoughts. She thought about it and suddenly asked Chen Yao: "Yaoyao, what do you think of the hunter family?"
Shen Yao, who was rubbing the rabbit, didn't understand what she meant and asked, "Mom, what do you mean? Are you talking about their family conditions or something?"
Xu Huilan looked at her still innocent daughter and said hesitantly, "I mean, what do you think if she marries into a hunter's family?"
There was actually a hunter family in the village next to them who had pretty good living conditions. The hunter had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son went hunting with his father, and the second son worked as a temporary worker in a factory in the city.
This temporary job was earned by the hunter through repeated hunting.
Although it is just a temporary job, it is also a decent job in the city and can guarantee an income.
When Chen Yao heard what her mother said, she was suddenly confused.
Um?
Although she coveted prey, she wasn't interested in hunters. So far, the only thing she was interested in was...
Gu Lin, the big, muscular guy with a taciturn appearance.
Just when she was about to answer her mother that she didn't want to, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Gu Lin walking out of the room out of the corner of her eye.
Her eyes rolled around, and she suddenly raised her voice. She smiled and replied to Xu Huilan, "Mom, what are you talking about? Just because I like to eat rabbits, do you want to marry me to a hunter? Then if I want to eat buns, do you want to marry me to a bun maker?"
Xu Huilan smiled and said, "Yaoyao, I'm not kidding. In the village next door, there's actually a hunter's son who's a good match for you."
Chen Yao asked curiously, "Really? Is he the same age as me?"
Xu Huilan: "Well, if I remember correctly, she's only a year or two older than you, so she's a good fit."
Just when Chen Yao wanted to say something else, a cold and deep voice interrupted her——
"Auntie, could you lend me some needlework?"
Gu Lin didn't know when he walked behind them, and he must have heard all their conversations.
Chen Yao couldn't help but laugh in her heart, hehe, that's great, let's start this fire!
Xu Huilan was stunned and asked Gu Lin, "Needle and thread, huh? Are you going to sew clothes, pants, or shoes?"
The specific needles and threads required are different, so she had to ask first to avoid giving the wrong one.
