Lu Chen shook his head, "What's given to you is given to you. I can earn money myself if I don't have any. You can keep it."
"Okay, if it's not enough, ask us for more."
Lu Chen knew that his parents only liked to tease him verbally, but they did everything they were supposed to do, so he was at ease.
When he left, Tao Wan was indeed tidying up the house.
When Tao Wan looked at this woman for the first time, she stiffened and forced a smile.
"Brother Lu Chen."
Tao Wan felt as if she were being seen through, and just as she couldn't help but look away, that gaze withdrew.
She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
That's terrifying!
Lu Chen returned to his room with a deep frown. No matter what her purpose was, she shouldn't even think about hurting his family.
A few days later, Ye Zhiyu's foot was healed, but she no longer needed to go up the mountain.
Because the firewood Lu Chen delivered in the past few days was equivalent to what she collected in half a month, or even more, coming one trip after another.
In just two days, a pile of firewood was built in the courtyard, exclusively for Ye Zhiyu.
That day, she dressed herself up, wearing thermal underwear, a sweater, a cotton vest, a thick cotton-padded coat, a scarf, a hat, and gloves, looking like a little penguin as she headed towards the Lu family home.
In mid-November, the villagers said it would snow soon, in the next couple of days.
Halfway there, she saw Lu Chen who had come to pick her up.
She stood still, waiting for Lu Chen to get closer.
"Didn't I say I was coming to pick you up? Why did you come out by yourself?"
With no one around, Lu Chen took her hand.
...Although it's a glove.
"I'm not a child anymore. Don't I know the roads in this village?"
She swung her arms as she walked, taking big strides forward, pulling Lu Chen along with her, but he always kept pace with her.
Lu Chen just smiled.
I was having a great time when a group of middle-aged men and women walked towards me.
Ye Zhiyu quickly let go of him, her little hands behind her back, looking quite obedient.
However, nowadays there are few electronic devices, and very few people are nearsighted.
So it was clear that Aunt Guihua was among them. "Ye Zhiqing and Lu Chen are going for a stroll?"
Ye Zhiyu nodded with difficulty. She was dressed too warmly, and with a scarf, her neck was being supported.
"Auntie, where are you going?"
"Look, it's going to snow soon. I'm going to take another walk up the mountain. Once it snows, we won't be able to leave the house."
Ye Zhiyu understood, "Then, ma'am, please take it easy."
'Okay, you two take good care of yourselves too.'
The two groups of people passed each other.
"They're so good together, a perfect match."
"Of course, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, and Lu Chen is also very capable."
"You know, Lu Chen seemed so cold and aloof before, not like a warm person at all. But I didn't expect him to be just like any other boy once he's in a relationship. The way they were shaking hands just now."
"Right..."
Ye Zhiyu and Lu Chen both heard it clearly.
His ears were red, but they were hidden under his hat.
"How embarrassing!" Ye Zhiyu covered her face.
Lu Chen also felt uncomfortable, not because he felt ashamed, but because he felt embarrassed that his little romantic moments with A Yu had been seen.
He lowered his voice and coaxed Ye Zhiyu, "It's not shameful, it's cute."
Once she arrived at the Lu family's residence, Ye Zhiyu finally let go of her initial enthusiasm.
Tian Hongfang was as enthusiastic as ever: "Young lady Ye is here! Come on, sit down. Auntie will get you some roasted sweet potatoes."
After cooking breakfast early this morning, seeing that the ashes from the firewood were quite bright, I threw in a few sweet potatoes, which are now hot and ready to eat.
Hearing the noise, Tao Qingtang also brought Tao Wan out.
During this time, Tao Wan stayed in the same room with her, while Lu Ze followed Lu Chen.
"Zhiyu has arrived."
Knowing that Tao Qingtang was pregnant, Ye Zhiyu quickly took a few steps to support her.
"Oh, sister-in-law, I miss you so much."
"Really? Your sister-in-law misses you too."
Ye Zhiyu calmly gestured for her to sit on the stool, and then naturally sat down herself.
Once inside, it felt hot, so I took off my hat, scarf, and cotton-padded coat and handed them to Lu Chen behind me.
Lu Chen took them one by one, and when he saw any hair tangled in his clothes, he slowly untangled it.
Once Ye Zhiyu felt comfortable, he took his clothes and went to his room.
Ayu's clothes must not get dirty.
Tao Wan watched the whole thing, her eyes filled with jealousy and greed. She never expected that the terrifying Lu Chen would be like this in front of Ye Zhiyu.
Ye Zhiyu's clothes were exquisite from head to toe. When I first met her, I could only think that this educated youth's family was probably relatively wealthy.
It was only upon seeing them again that I realized they were more than just wealthy.
The wool hat and scarf were, if she wasn't mistaken, from Mansley; she wore leather boots; and her clothes were, needless to say, excellent.
While she was feeling gloomy, little did she know that Ye Zhiyu had been paying attention to her all along.
"Sister-in-law, what's this?"
That time it was just a brief meeting, and Tao Qingtang had no intention of introducing them. Now that we're here, it's impossible not to introduce them.
"This is my aunt's daughter, Tao Wan. She's here to visit for a couple of days."
"Sister Tao Wan."
Tao Wan gave a shy smile. If you didn't know what she was going to do next, she would really seem like a likable person.
Tian Hongfang also came out of the kitchen, with a few pieces of sweet potato on her plate.
Tian Hongfang took one, intending to wash it for Ye Zhiyu. They were used to taking it out of the stove, peeling it, and eating it, but Ye Zhiyu might not be used to that.
Ye Zhiyu knew exactly what she was thinking, and stopped her with a smile: "Auntie, this is the best way to eat it, no need to bother."
"Okay, sure."
Lu Chen finished putting away Ye Zhiyu's clothes and came out, followed by Lu Ze.
"Sister Ye is here."
Ye Zhiyu greeted him: "Brother Lu."
Tao Qingtang glared at him: "What were you doing in the room? Why are you only coming out now?"
Lu Ze picked up a sweet potato, carefully peeled it, and handed it to her ingratiatingly: "I just took on a job, drawing blueprints, so I didn't notice."
Tao Qingtang gave him a look, and he proudly accepted it.
Only after the sweet potato was in her mouth did she realize that she had done this in front of everyone, and she immediately blushed with embarrassment.
She's been acting strangely lately; besides being sleepy, all she thinks about is Lu Ze.
It's not that I'm looking for trouble, it's just that I can't stand seeing him. As soon as I see him, I want to boss him around. I only feel comfortable when he does what I want and he does what I want.
Fortunately, Ye Zhiyu's words diverted everyone's attention.
"Big brother, you can design furniture too?"
"Design? Not really. It's just that nobody had any ideas. We just looked at what other people's homes were like and did the same. Occasionally, a few people would make requests, so I would try to draw them."
Ye Zhiyu, however, was very interested and suggested going to take a look.
Lu Ze agreed, saying there was nothing wrong with looking at it; it was just a painting.
Ye Zhiyu entered Lu Chen's room. Everything in the room was neatly arranged, and there was no strange smell.
The blankets were folded very neatly.
Lu Chen clenched his fists behind him. He didn't know that A Yu would come into his room today, and he hadn't had time to tidy up. He also didn't know if A Yu would be disappointed in him.
Ye Zhiyu only glanced at it before following Lu Ze to look at the blueprints.
