"Madam, what are you talking about?" Pang Yi felt uncomfortable from head to toe when Ah Chou stared at him like that, so he changed the subject. "Madam, the big bone you stewed a few days ago was really a favorite of mine. Later, he even snatched my big bone away, bullying his subordinates so blatantly. Madam, you must take care of me when you go back!"
"Okay, I'll cook another pot as soon as I get home, and I'll make sure you have enough." Ah Chou said to Pang Yi very proudly, and then changed the subject and continued gossiping. "I heard that Miss Qingtong came here this time. One is to take care of Grandma Chen, and the other is to come for a blind date. It is said that several young men in Chenjiatun have taken a fancy to Miss Qingtong. They have invited a matchmaker to go to my cousin's house to propose marriage. Miss Qingtong came here this time just to meet those young men. It's also a good opportunity for Grandma Chen and Mr. Chen to take a look. But I think Miss Qingtong is most likely interested in you!"
Pang Yi's mouth twitched: "...Madam, please get into the carriage quickly. It's windy outside. You just recovered from your cold. Don't catch a cold again."
"Oh. Yes, yes, thank you for reminding me." Ah Chou hurriedly got into the carriage and closed the door tightly. She was really afraid of getting sick again. It was not that she was afraid of feeling uncomfortable, but that if she got sick, she might have to separate from Zhong Mingwei again. She couldn't bear not seeing Zhong Mingwei for so many days.
Hearing the sound of a door closing behind him, Pang Yi let out a long breath. However, before he could catch his breath, he heard Ah Chou's voice coming through the door and into his ears.
"Pang Yi, I haven't had time to ask you, how old are you? Are you married?" Ah Chou asked Pang Yi in a good mood while facing the carved door and eating the melon seeds in the carriage, "You probably haven't got married yet? Then I think Miss Qingtong is pretty good, she's good-tempered, and has a complete family. Pang Yi, do you want to consider it?"
The corners of Pang Yi's mouth twitched even more: "..."
I can't hear anything! I can't hear anything!
"Gee, gee, gee!" Pang Yi whipped the horse whip hard, and the carriage galloped away on the snow.
…
The carriage was galloping on the mountain road. Although it was going fast, Pang Yi kept the carriage very steady. He whipped the horse gently, making clear and melodious sounds.
Ah Chou leaned her head out of the window and looked at the world of ice and snow outside. Her heart was beating fast. She had never felt that this wild mountain without even a name could be so beautiful. She also didn't know what it meant to be homesick or to be eager to go home.
She only knew that she was getting closer and closer to Zhong Mingwei. There should be only one thousand steps left... one hundred steps...
"Whoa!"
Pang Yi stopped the carriage steadily in front of the door.
"Madam, we are home," Pang Yi jumped off the carriage, hurried over to open the door, and said to Ah Chou inside with a smile, "Madam, let me help you get off the carriage."
Ah Chou looked at the hand stretched out in front of her and felt warm in her heart. She bent over and got out of the carriage, holding Pang Yi's hand, and got out of the carriage.
"Hey! The young lady is back!" Gu Changlin was standing in the yard with his hands behind his back. When he saw Ah Chou getting off the carriage, he came over with a smile, looked Ah Chou up and down, and then laughed even harder. However, it was not a joke, but the kind of smile that an elder would give to a younger person with undisguised joy, "The young lady is really dressed festively today."
"Mr. Gu..." Ah Chou tugged at her bright red embroidered jacket shyly.
She had almost never worn new clothes, let alone such nice clothes. Originally, she was reluctant to wear them, but thinking that she was going home today and would come back to see Zhong Mingwei, she couldn't help but take off her half-new and worn cotton jacket and put on this new jacket with clusters of red flowers. At this time, being suddenly said by Gu Changlin, Ah Chou felt a little uneasy. She always felt that with her status and face, she was definitely not worthy of such a beautiful jacket. For a moment, she lowered her head in annoyance, blaming herself in her heart. If she had known earlier, she would not have worn it.
"It's New Year's Day, you should dress festively," Gu Changlin took two steps towards Ah Chou, stopped in front of Ah Chou, reached out and gently patted Ah Chou's shoulder. This kind of action was not suitable for him and Ah Chou, after all, they just met, but Gu Changlin liked this shy little girl from the bottom of his heart, "Girl, wait for me to give you a New Year's gift in a while."
