The earth shook violently, but none of them could compare to the cannon that exploded in the boy's mind, which made his world tremble violently as it was about to collapse. It was a panic that he had never experienced in the previous nineteen years.
Sticky sweat oozed from his palms, and he rubbed his thighs helplessly, but his eyes were fixed on the little girl, trying to find even the slightest sign of a joke in her eyes, to warn himself.
But the little girl's eyes were so clear, without a trace of falsehood or disguise, as if everything was as she said, she did not lie or deceive, she really fell in love with him at first sight.
Love at first sight is a liking at first sight, it is the tenderness that can depict the taste of happiness in the heart, it is the love that can become strong over a lifetime.
What should he do? Yan Mingli had been confessed to by girls before: some stopped him on the path, some took advantage of him by the ridge, some made fun of him in the threshing ground, some deliberately said obscene things to him when they passed by. There were countless examples.
But no one was as frank as the little girl. He was so frank that he couldn't say anything to refuse and could only stare in silence.
"Brother Li, I don't have to be anxious." Mo Yutong kept smiling and looked back calmly. The love in her eyes became undisguised after she said "love at first sight".
The little girl is actually still anxious, right? Yan Mingli tried to calm his breathing again.
He manually changed the topic as quickly as possible. He was afraid that if he didn't cut it off, the little girl would say something shocking and he would be even more overwhelmed.
"Mo Zhiqing, do you want to take a shower? There's hot water in the kitchen." Yan Mingli gently scratched his trouser leg with his index finger and forced himself to suppress the instinctive avoidance in his eyes.
She really wanted to laugh when she saw her boy avoiding the topic, but she had to hold it back. She couldn't scare her boy away on the first day.
"Okay!" Mo Yutong nodded immediately. She had taken a bath before going to bed the night before yesterday. It had been two days since she last took a bath. If she hadn't said it, she wouldn't have noticed it. But as soon as she said it, she felt like her body was starting to stink.
"Wash in the small room on the right. I'll go get some water for Mo Zhiqing." Yan Mingli turned around hurriedly, picked up the wooden basin when passing by the water tank, and went into the kitchen.
Mo Yutong was very happy to see the boy's back disappearing in a hurry, and immediately waved to Yan Mingxue who was standing at the bedroom door.
"Sister, can I call you sister-in-law now?" Yan Mingxue was like a happy pony, all that was left was to jump, turn and run lightly.
"Not yet." Mo Yutong certainly wanted to, but unfortunately the time was too short and her boy still needed to slowly digest her initiative.
"Why?" The corners of Yan Mingxue's mouth, which were originally raised, immediately drooped unhappily, and there was obvious loss in her raised eyes.
My elder sister likes my elder brother, and my elder brother hasn’t said that he doesn’t like my elder sister, so shouldn’t they be together?
Shouldn't we be sisters-in-law if we're together? Why not? Did my sister regret it?
"Your elder brother will blush and be shy." Mo Yutong said seriously.
Who said I would blush or be shy? I... obviously... wouldn't... Why do I feel a little guilty?
Yan Mingli, who was passing by with a full basin of water, almost dropped the basin when he heard Mo Yutong's serious tone.
When Mo Yutong heard the footsteps and turned to look at him, Yan Mingli's face turned red in an instant like the sunset in the sky.
"Sister, big brother's face is really red. Is he shy?" Yan Mingxue covered her mouth and said softly. It turns out that big brother's face can also be as red as a monkey's butt!
No, I didn't blush, nor was I shy. The tense boy kicked open the door to the utility room and quickly placed the basin on the floor.
Looking at the bottles and jars piled in the corner of the room, Yan Mingli's eyes darkened. Maybe he could go to the old carpenter and buy another bath tub tomorrow.
In this way, the little girl can take a bath comfortably without having to sit on a low stool and wipe her body bit by bit with a wet white cloth.
"Don't make fun of him, or I'll spank you." In the yard, Mo Yutong scratched Yan Mingxue's nose and warned with a smile.
How could she laugh at her youth! Although she wanted to laugh too!
"Sis, do you no longer like Xue'er after you fell in love with big brother?" The loss that had just dissipated immediately surfaced in her eyes again.
This is the beautiful sister she discovered first! She was actually cut in line by her elder brother.
Yan Mingli, who was walking out of the utility room, couldn't help but slow down his pace when he heard his sister's question. He also wanted to hear the little girl's answer.
However, when the little girl said righteously, "How could that be? I only love the person and the people in him," Yan Mingli wished he hadn't heard anything.
He quickly rushed into the bedroom, picked up a low square stool and the chair, and said to Yan Mingcheng, "Put the dishes and pots in the kitchen. I'll wash them later."
"Brother, let me wash it!" Yan Mingcheng said as he cleaned up the dishes.
"Add another piece of firewood to the stove." Yan Mingli did not insist.
Children from poor families have to grow up early and learn to do things within their ability from the moment they wake up.
"I understand, brother." Yan Mingcheng nodded in response.
Outside the bedroom, Yan Mingxue was confused. "Sister, what does it mean to love someone and his dog?"
"To love a person is to love the crows on his roof as well," Mo Yutong explained carefully.
Yan Mingxue tilted her head and thought for a second, then immediately said, "But I'm not a crow!"
"Well, Xue'er is a lovely little baby." Mo Yutong smiled lightly and said, "The extended meaning is that loving someone also leads to liking the people or things related to him."
"My sister likes my eldest brother, so she will like me and my second brother too." The simple and straightforward answer made Yan Mingxue quickly understand the meaning of the idiom. She felt that she was a very smart child.
"So smart! I really am..." Mo Yutong's words suddenly stopped.
Yan Mingcheng was seen walking out of the bedroom cautiously, holding a teacup in his left hand, a clay pot in his right hand, and several overlapping bowls and chopsticks in his hands.
"How can you carry so many things by yourself?" Mo Yutong saw this and hurriedly took the bowl and chopsticks he was holding and asked, "Are you taking them to the kitchen?"
"Sister, I can do it." Yan Mingcheng wanted to take the dishes back, but how could Mo Yutong feel at ease letting a little kid like him take so many things?
"I'll do it. You go take a shower, otherwise the water will be cold." Yan Mingli walked out of the utility room again, took the dishes and chopsticks from her hand, and picked up the earthenware jar that Yan Mingcheng was hooking.
"Okay, thank you Brother Li! Brother Li is so nice!" Mo Yutong's generous praise made Yan Mingli helpless and blushing.
Why would the girl who said she fell in love at first sight and loved everyone in the house suddenly become so enthusiastic that it was impossible to resist?
Where should he go? What should he do? Oh! He should continue to boil water because his younger brothers and sisters still need to wash!
