Chapter 168 The Wild Mandarin Duck Was Caught



"Then you can be considered self-taught. You kissed my mouth so hard on my first kiss that it made it swollen and my tongue numb."

Jiang Ye: He felt very distressed when he saw his wife like this.

"Wife, I lost control just now. I won't do it again next time."

Xu Nuannuan forgave him: "It's nothing, but you have to be gentler next time."

"I know, I know, I will." The man hurriedly agreed, determined to put his wife's feelings first.

He even fooled himself with his words, but every time he kissed his wife thereafter, it proved that he was a big liar.

The next day, it was still very dark when Guan Xingyao went to find Zhang Jianjun. Zhang Jianjun and Jiang Ye got up early, and Jiang Yang also wanted to go, so he got up as well. The four of them went up the mountain together.

After more than an hour in the mountains, they shot three pheasants and two hares and returned to Jiang's house. They asked Jiang Yang to take one pheasant and one hare, and the rest were brought to Xu Nuannuan's home.

The three of them were killing pheasants and rabbits in the yard. Xu Nuannuan went to the kitchen to cook. Guan Xingyao was also there, so she cooked for four people.

Ordinary corn grits porridge, a plate of stir-fried bacon with green peppers, a plate of smashed cucumbers, and the staple food is multi-grain pancakes.

Xu Nuannuan served the food and called them to eat. Guan Xingyao had not planned to eat here and felt a little embarrassed, but when he saw the delicious food, he was reluctant to leave. Xu Nuannuan made a few polite remarks and he stayed.

Anyway, Xu Nuannuan had already cooked the meal for him, and if he left, he would be refusing her kindness.

"Well, I'm not eating at the educated youth camp. I'll go back and tell them."

"Okay, go and come back soon."

He went out and ran back to the educated youth camp with his legs as fast as fire wheels. He told Zhang Lei and Lu Xinyue that he would not eat there. It happened that the educated youth camp cooked late and the food was not ready yet, so there was no need to waste his food.

Lin Ruyan asked him, "Third brother, why did you come back from outside so early in the morning? If you don't eat here, where are you going to eat?"

"I went to find Jianjun. I'll eat with him."

"Isn't he at the Jiang family?" Xu Nuannuan was probably eating there too. Her third brother was going to have dinner with Xu Nuannuan?

Before she could open her mouth to stop him, Guan Xingyao said, "Well, Ruyan, I won't go to the fields with you today. I'm with Jianjun."

"Do you want to help Xu Nuannuan with work?" This was the first thing Lin Ruyan thought of.

Guan Xingyao was so impressed by her that she guessed it right away.

"You could also think of it this way. Since Jianjun is there, he's definitely going to help Comrade Xu with his work. He can't just stand there and do nothing."

Lin Ruyan didn't want him to go. She didn't want him to help Xu Nuannuan with work, nor did she want him to get along with Xu Nuannuan.

"Third brother, please don't go. What will I do if you leave? The autumn harvest work is so hard, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

"Ruyan, I've only been here for a day and a half and have already done your work for a day and a half. You're not tired now. You can do it first, and I'll help you this afternoon or tomorrow."

Lin Ruyan bit her lip, still looking very aggrieved.

She turned her head to the side and said, "Third brother, if you want to go, go ahead. I won't stop you. Third brother has helped me so much. How could I stop him?"

Seeing her like this, Guan Xingyao naturally felt a little distressed.

For a moment, he hesitated whether it was right or wrong for him to go to Xu Nuannuan.

"Ruyan, you've grown up and need to be able to take care of yourself. Third Brother can't always be by your side. There are some things you still need to do by yourself. Train yourself slowly."

Lin Ruyan sniffed and nodded, "I understand, Third Brother, I will be strong."

The more she did this, the softer Guan Xingyao's heart became, and he didn't know what to do.

He shook his head and said, "Ruyan, Third Brother can't indulge you anymore. I'm leaving."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

Lin Ruyan was furious. As expected, her third brother also started to get close to Xu Nuannuan and ran to her desperately.

Will it be the same if the eldest and second brothers come?

They are all Xu Nuannuan's relatives, and they will surely recognize each other one day.

No, don’t let it come, don’t let it come, this day must not come, never come.

Guan Xingyao returned to Xu Nuannuan's house like a gust of wind. The three people were waiting for him. They started eating only after he sat down.

Xu Nuannuan returned the remaining money from buying groceries to Guan Xingyao. In fact, she only bought some tofu and bean curd sheets, which cost her one yuan. The rest of the vegetables were taken from Xu Nuannuan's space, as well as some wild mushrooms she had dried herself. Guan Xingyao gave her four yuan, and she gave Guan Xingyao three and a half yuan.

Guan Xingyao felt embarrassed when he saw that Xu Nuannuan had barely spent any of his money. After all, he had even eaten more of Xu Nuannuan's food, so he declined, saying, "You keep it for yourself."

"No, how can I spend your money?"

Xu Nuannuan signaled to Zhang Jianjun to take the money and put it into Guan Xingyao's pocket.

Guan Xingyao and Zhang Jianjun were both not very particular about details, so they did not continue the topic.

However, Guan Xingyao's impression of Xu Nuannuan became better and better.

During the meal, the four of them sat around the square table. Jiang Ye and Zhang Jianjun sat on Xu Nuannuan's left and right respectively, and Guan Xingyao sat opposite Xu Nuannuan.

Xu Nuannuan couldn't help but start looking at Guan Xingyao again. Jiang Ye seemed to have a radar installed on his body. As soon as Xu Nuannuan turned her eyes to Guan Xingyao, he noticed her.

He remembered what Xu Nuannuan said yesterday, that Guan Xingyao's eyes were very similar to her mother's eyes, so he also began to look at Guan Xingyao.

Looking at it this way, I really think Guan Xingyao's eyes are very similar to Auntie Cowshed's eyes.

His heart suddenly trembled, his gaze shifted to Xu Nuannuan, and he silently calculated the distance between here and the cowshed, his wife, and the uncles and aunts in the cowshed...

Even when enemy spies appeared near the cowshed that day, it was his wife who first spotted them. She must have been consciously watching over there to protect her family...

He figured it all out, but kept it secret in his heart, knowing that his wife would tell him sooner or later anyway.

Even though he knew that Xu Nuannuan had decided on Guan Xingyao, apparently because Guan Xingyao's eyes resembled her mother's, he still felt uncomfortable.

He couldn't stop it, so he could only lower his head and lean on the bowl to pretend to drink. However, he found that today's corn porridge was a bit sour and difficult to swallow.
