Chapter 2 Chapter 2 I've Got It (Edited)
Li Congjun: "If you know you're wrong, remember the time next time and come earlier... What did you say?"
Li Congjun, who had been talking to himself for a long time, finally reacted to Ye Tan's answer, and the arrogant expression on his face almost broke.
He widened his eyes in disbelief and asked, "Ye Tan, what did you say?"
Ye Tan pulled the corner of his lip: "I said yes, didn't you hear it?"
Li Congjun was caught off guard by Ye Tan's reaction and didn't know what to say.
For a moment, the air was eerily quiet.
Ye Tan didn't want to talk nonsense with him outside in this hot place, so he handed him the lunch box in his hand and said, "Eat more of your meal. This is the most suitable meal for your appetite. If you don't eat more, it will be unfair to the lamb's contribution. I'll give you the food and the lunch box as well. Goodbye."
Ye Tan said this in one breath without giving Li Congjun time to react, and turned and left. By the time Li Congjun remembered to get angry, he was already gone.
Li Congjun stood there in a daze for a while, wanting to lose his temper, but the person was no longer around, so he could only take his lunch box and return to his desk.
The other colleagues who had been listening quietly to the whole scene, seeing him come back with a gloomy face, all tried to comfort him: "Congjun, did you have a fight with your girlfriend? As for the woman, you just need to comfort her more."
"Yes, yes, your girlfriend looks gentle and kind. If you say a few nice words to her, she will definitely change her mind. We grown men shouldn't bother with little women, right?"
Li Congjun listened to everyone's comfort with a faint smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart: What's wrong with Ye Tan today?
At the same time, not wanting to be laughed at by his colleagues, he just let it go and said with a wry smile, "I don't know how I offended her. Women's minds are really hard to figure out."
"Women are like this, they get angry for no reason. You don't understand it when you just started dating, but you will understand it after a long time."
"Yes, and sometimes women have sharp tongues but soft hearts. Even if she is angry with you, she still brings you food. I heard there is mutton, which is hard to buy." The other party said enviously.
Upon hearing this, Li Congjun remembered the lunch box in his hand. Thinking of mutton, he seemed to smell the scent of mutton in his nose.
His mouth instantly watered, and the anger he had felt at Ye Tan's attitude just now dissipated a lot.
Ye Tan said he couldn't come to deliver food, but in his actions he was worried that he would go hungry.
Women often say one thing and mean another. If you believe them, you lose.
Here, Li Congjun opened his lunch box under the envious gaze of others, and a burst of delicious food hit his nose.
The colleague next door couldn't help but take a deep breath. Judging from the aroma he smelled, he said, "Congjun, you have a really good partner. This smells so delicious. I remember I brought you some fried fish yesterday. You live like a god every day."
He wrinkled his nose again, then said with a puzzled expression, "But why do I smell a strange smell in this fragrance? What is it? Congjun, you...eh?"
The colleague turned around and saw a face as black as the bottom of a pot.
The colleague fell silent for a moment, but was more curious about what happened, so he stretched his head to take a look at Li Congjun's lunch box.
Then he saw something else that looked familiar.
Sheep dung balls with grass on them.
Worker: “Ugh!”

"Ye Tan came to a crossroads in life.
The memory was too old, and she now only had a vague impression and could not remember the specific home address at all.
Just as she was confused and hesitant, a woman carrying a bamboo basket came over from a distance. When she saw her, her pace quickened a little.
Ye Tan thought it was an acquaintance and was about to ask for directions when the other person came over and took her hand affectionately.
"Silly girl, what are you doing standing here? Aren't you tired of the sun? Go home quickly." As she spoke, the woman took her hand and turned a few corners.
Ye Tan followed silently and soon came to a vermilion gate. He walked into the yard and went straight into the kitchen.
Xu Huiling went to the kitchen to put away the vegetable basket, and when she came out she saw her daughter still standing there in a daze.
She glanced at the mud on her skirt and walked over to her, pulling her left and right and looking at her from front to back. "Why is there so much dirt on your clothes? Did you fall? Are you hurt anywhere? Let me see."
mom?
So this is the cannon fodder’s mother, Ms. Xu Huiling?
She really looks like the one described in the book, a gentle and elegant woman.
Ye Tan breathed a sigh of relief and his tense waist relaxed.
After almost an hour of walking through, she finally found her home. It wasn't easy.
Ye Tan shed bitter tears for having stood stupidly at the intersection for half an hour.
Xu Huiling saw her strange expression and couldn't help but feel worried. She touched her forehead and said, "Did you get a heat stroke? You look so silly today."
Then she touched the swelling on Ye Tan's forehead, and Ye Tan hissed and cried out in pain.
Xu Huiling's expression darkened. She immediately and carefully brushed the hair off her forehead. Seeing the bloodshot, egg-yolk-sized swelling, her heart ached. "How did this happen?"
Ye Tan mumbled, "I wasn't paying attention on the road and fell, hitting my head on a rock."
Xu Hui took a deep breath and was thankful that she didn't hit her head directly.
At the same time, he asked her distressedly, "Did you just go to deliver food to Li Congjun again? I say, you are stupid, you went to deliver food to him in such a hot day, you deserve to faint from the sun!"
Xu Huiling looked at the bump on her daughter's head, and a surge of anger surged up, and she couldn't help but want to poke her forehead.
Seeing that conspicuous bag was put down halfway, he said angrily: "Is it that they can't eat in the canteen of the grain station, or is Li Congjun so pampered that he can't eat outside? Your father and I raised you so well, not for you to be abused by others."
"Your dad said before that Li Congjun wasn't a sincere man, but you refused to listen and insisted on getting engaged to him. I thought if you liked him and he treated you sincerely, it would be fine. But look at you now, you haven't even gotten married yet, and he's asking you to go deliver food to him in the scorching sun every day. I don't know how he'll torture you after we get married."
"Look at you, all covered in mud and lumps. When you brought him food, did he ever ask if you were tired or hot?"
When Xu Huiling asked, Ye Tan told the truth: "No."
"Why are you rushing forward even though you haven't?"
Xu Huiling was furious. "He doesn't care about you now, how good can he be to you in the future? Marrying a man like that is just going to make you suffer, and your life will be uncertain."
"My dear, I am your biological mother. I will never harm you. A man like this is really not suitable for marriage. Can you please stop being so stubborn?"
Ye Tan: "Then I break off the engagement with him?"
Xu Huiling was about to continue to persuade him when her mouth almost slipped open. She came to her senses and immediately grabbed Ye Tan's hand and asked nervously, "What did you say? What did you just say, girl?"
Ye Tan looked at Xu Huiling, who was nervous and worried that she might be hallucinating, and smiled slightly. He repeated in a calm tone, "I said I'm breaking off the engagement with him."
Xu Huiling let out a breath that had been stuck in her chest, then took another breath. "Dear, are you serious? Do you really want to break off the engagement? Are you lying to me?"
Ye Tan smiled helplessly and said, "I'm not lying to you, I really want to cancel the engagement."
Xu Huiling was a little confused, but it was a good thing that her daughter was willing to cancel the engagement. Xu Huiling didn't dare to ask any more questions and nodded immediately: "Okay, okay, if you are willing to cancel the engagement, then let your father go when he comes back."
But it would take a while for Ye Jianguo to come back, so Xu Huiling boiled an egg, peeled it and rolled it over Ye Tan's forehead to reduce the swelling. While chatting with her, she couldn't help but ask her why she suddenly came to her senses, since she had been reluctant before.
Ye Tan felt the cautious movements on her head. Xu Huiling rolled over and blew on it from time to time, as if this could relieve her daughter's pain.
Ye Tan couldn't help but let a nostalgic smile appear on his lips.
It has been many years since her grandmother passed away and she has not experienced this kind of care again. She didn't expect that after traveling through time, she would have it again.
Xu Huiling didn't hear her daughter's voice for a while, so she couldn't help but urge her: "I'm asking you a question, why are you in a daze?"
Ye Tan smiled sweetly and said, "I don't know how I figured it out. Anyway, I fell and hit my head before, and suddenly it was like I got enlightened. I suddenly understood what I couldn't see clearly before. I knew that Li Congjun was not a good person, and that I would have a hard time if I married him."
"And now when I look at Li Congjun again, I think he looks effeminate, with a pair of eyes that attract peach blossoms. He looks at people with a very frivolous look, and it's obvious that he's restless."
Xu Huiling was very surprised. "So, I should go and get that stone that hit your head and worship it, thank it for opening my silly daughter's mind."
Xu Huiling clasped her hands together and chanted "Amitabha, God bless you."
Ye Tan thought to himself, you are chanting Buddhist mantras and calling on God, but it would be strange if God can bless you.
As the mother and daughter were talking, Ye Jianguo, who had gone to work overtime, came back.
Ye Tan saw a handsome man walking towards him.
Xu Huiling tilted her head to take a look. Seeing that it was the head of the family, a gentle smile appeared on her face. "Are you done?"
Ye Jianguo smiled the first time he saw his wife and daughter in the yard: "The goods have been delivered. It's still a little short, but if I work overtime tonight, I can almost make up for it."
Ye Jianguo walked closer as he spoke, and then he saw his wife rolling an egg on their daughter's forehead. Upon closer inspection, he noticed a bump on Ye Tan's forehead, and his brows immediately furrowed. "How did you do that?"
Ye Tan said, "I accidentally fell while walking and bumped into something."
Xu Huiling added unhappily, "This silly girl went to deliver food to that Li Congjun again, and then the heavens couldn't stand her foolishness and sent a stone to block her way. She bumped into it and suddenly she got wise."
Ye Jianguo sat down on a stone pier nearby. He was startled when he heard someone say something like "knock on a stone." Then he subconsciously asked, "What do you mean by enlightenment?"
Xu Huiling repeated to him what Ye Tan had said before about breaking off the engagement.
Ye Jianguo was pleasantly surprised after hearing this. "Xiao Tan, have you really figured it out?"
Ye Tan smiled bitterly: "I have said it many times, really, I have thought it through. Even if Li Congjun kneels in front of me and begs me, I will not marry him again. But I think it will not be so easy for us to cancel the engagement. Li Congjun will not let me go easily."
Ye Tan saw clearly that Li Congjun was pretending to be cold to her just to PUA her.
