Chapter 54 Chapter 54

Jia Yourui was alone at home with nothing to do, and she didn’t dare to go to the fields to help Jia Guoye. If it weren’t for Xiao Hei to accompany her, she would be so bored that she would sigh.

When technology is advanced in the future, she can play with her mobile phone to relieve her boredom. Now the only thing she can do is to do needlework. In the morning, she stopped and started, and played with Xiao Hei from time to time. Finally, she embroidered a small white petal on a blue cloth skirt.

When Jia Guoye came home, she greeted him happily like a happy little bird, "Guoye, you are back."

"Are you hungry?" Jia Guoye wanted to touch her head, but then he thought that his hands might not be washed very clean, so he took them back.

Jia Yourui shook her head and could not help complaining: "I finished a bowl of pumpkin porridge this morning, and you peeled an egg for me. I am still choking now."

Jia Guoye said: "Your stomach is too small, and your hands are so thin, eat more."

Jia Yourui said distressedly: "I have a small frame, and if I grow more, I will be all meat."

Jia Guoye thought it was just right for her to gain some meat, and said: "That's good."

Jia Yourui turned her head away, pursed her lips and puffed up her cheeks: "I don't want to talk to you."

Jia Guoye laughed.

.....

Jia Guoye entered the house, and Jia Yourui poured him a large enamel cup full of water.

He drank most of the cup, went to the kitchen to get water to wash his hands and face, and then started to make a fire to cook.

Jia Yourui set the dishes and waited for him to serve.

…

Jia Guoye made another dish of fried egg with loofah and placed it in front of her.

“Really, don’t cook so many eggs for me in the future.” Jia Yourui said, “I’ll just eat one more sweet potato, it’s also very nutritious.”

At that time, eggs were still very precious. Others saved them to exchange for money, and no one ate one or two eggs a day like she did.

There were no chickens at home, and except for the eggs sent by his mother, Jia Guoye bought them with his own money. And he didn’t eat the dishes with eggs, so he made sure she finished them.

Jia Guoye: "Let's eat up what we have stored at home first, or it will go bad if left for too long."

Jia Yourui said: "Then don't buy so much."

Jia Guoye nodded: "Okay."

...

In the afternoon, Jia Guoye went out with a cart, because he had to bring the rice seedlings back to thresh them.

When he went out, Jia Yourui was still sleeping. Jia Guoye stopped and looked at her peaceful sleeping face through the crack of the door.

Jia Guoye stood there for a while before leaving.

...

"Is it true that Xiaohuabao's door can't be opened by knocking?"

"Really, there's no point in saying anything. If I keep knocking, I'm afraid Jia Guoye will go home. With his muscular body and the strength to carry an ox, he will beat me to death."

"What a pity, there is such a superb beauty in our village. I'm afraid that even the emperor's concubines in the past were not as pretty as her. I used to touch her hands a few times, and the back of her hands was as smooth as tofu pudding..."

"Eh." The man lowered his voice obscenely: "Do you think Jia Guoye succeeded?"

"Forget it, although the little vixen seduced other men when she was at her mother's house and is not a good girl, she is really beautiful. Jia Guoye... is like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung, my heart bleeds just thinking about it. Jia Guoye's ugly face, standing with Jia Yourui... Tsk, scary!"

——"Yeah, it's a bit scary."

A voice came out of nowhere.

Is it Jia Guoye?

His tone was calm, but he scared the two brothers, Jia Lao Da and Jia Lao Er, who were urinating under the tree, out of their wits. They looked at each other and didn't dare to look back at him.

The two brothers held up their belts and ran away without tying them.

Jia Guoye took two steps with his long legs and kicked the two men down one by one. One of them stepped on his chest with his foot, and the other pressed his neck with his arm. The two brothers struggled with all their strength, but they couldn't move. "Guoye, we are all from the same village. It's just a joke. Why do you take it seriously?"

Jia Guoye didn't waste time talking to them. He raised his hand and slapped each of them twice.

The two knew he was serious and begged for mercy.

"Guoye, we are all from the same village, so you should be magnanimous and stop arguing with us two brothers."

"Yeah, we are mean, we won't say anything about you anymore..." Jia Laoer realized that something was wrong and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, "I won't say anything about you anymore."

"It's okay if you say it about me." Jia Guoye corrected him and warned, "Next time you talk about my wife behind my back and I hear you, it won't be just two slaps."

"I definitely won't say it."

"Yeah, I definitely won't say it."

Jia Guoye stood up, clapped his hands, released the two people who were suppressing him, and the two brothers walked away in a hurry.

He touched his face and felt the roughness in his palm. Jia Guoye looked at the distant mountains in silence.

…

The eldest and second Jia brothers returned to the field in despair, their faces and bodies covered in dirt. When asked why, they just said they accidentally fell.

“Two brothers fell together?”

“Why, were you two stuck together by glue?”

Everyone laughed and passed it off as a minor incident. The fields continued to be busy as usual.

Jia Guoye carried the rice home, threshed it with the thresher at home, and spread it on the ground to dry.

Jia Yourui wanted to help, but Jia Guoye said there was too much dust and didn’t let her stay.

Jia Yourui said a little depressed: “Can I wash the dishes tomorrow?”

Jia Guoye heard that she seemed unhappy and quickly looked up.

He put down his work and walked up to her. "What's wrong, Xiaorui?"

Jia Yourui's eyebrows were drooping, and she whispered: "You can't do everything, you're so tired." She felt like a little waste.
