It seems things haven't gotten too tense yet. She and Cheng Qingyan even had some physical contact, and she felt the warmth and comfort of her sweetheart.
She was even praised by Cheng Qingyan, and even if it was just a compliment, it made her very happy.
The process of reuniting with Cheng Qingyan and her daughter went much more smoothly than she had imagined. For a moment, she didn't know whether it was because she hadn't rested well and was in a daze, or because she felt unreal due to the overwhelming surprise.
They left Shen Ziyu and Ruan Banxia's house, but their curiosity remained with them.
After Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu returned to their room, they were extremely anxious, eager to know why Shen Ziyu had kept Ruan Banxia behind.
Furthermore, she kept glancing through the window of her room towards Shen Ziyu's room, but she never saw Shen Ziyu and Ruan Banxia come out. She really had no idea what they were doing hiding in there.
Ye Lingyu picked up the person who was peering out the window: "You've been peeking out since you got back to your room, have you seen anything?"
With his collar lifted, Cheng Qingyan stood up. Once free, he turned around and hugged Ye Lingyu.
These past few days, Ye Lingyu has been enduring just like them, and she also has to cook and boil water for them, which is very hard work.
Holding Ye Lingyu in his arms, Cheng Qingyan rubbed his face against hers and promised, "Wife, I won't do anything reckless in the future. If I can't control myself, you can tie me up with a rope and keep me by your side."
Ye Lingyu patted her back lightly, saying casually, "Why would I tie you up? Besides, you never tell me what you're planning to do, so how am I supposed to know when you'll cause trouble?"
Cheng Qingyan leaned on Ye Lingyu's shoulder and swayed her head from side to side. It seemed that Ye Lingyu was really angry this time. Everyone said that she was being difficult.
If we don't coax her properly now, it will be even harder to coax her later.
"My wife, I know I was wrong. I promise I will listen to you from now on and never act on my own again!"
Ye Lingyu sighed, "Forget it. You'll only learn to think things through after you've suffered a loss."
Cheng Qingyan said anxiously, "No, no, no, my wife, with you here, I can't let myself suffer."
“I’ve suffered a loss, and my wife, you’re going to suffer the same loss with me. That won’t do.”
"I must strive to become the most perfect person in my wife's eyes, and receive lots and lots of her care and love~"
Ye Lingyu gave a disdainful "Hmph": "You're good at making me happy, but you actually have your own ideas better than anyone else."
Cheng Qingyan, realizing he'd been exposed, chuckled foolishly, "My existence is solely to accompany my wife, to make her happy, to give her lots and lots of love, and to make her a free and happy person."
Because of the delay in the morning, Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu only rested for an hour before waking up.
The main reason was that Cheng Qingyan woke up because she was hungry.
She woke up before Ye Lingyu. Although she tried to keep her voice down when she got up, she still woke her up.
Ye Lingyu, still half-asleep and not fully awake, asked, "Ayan, why are you awake? Did something happen?"
Cheng Qingyan was stealthily making his way out, but he didn't expect Ye Lingyu to have already woken up.
"My wife, I'm hungry... I just didn't expect that even though I tried not to make any noise, I still woke you up."
"You can sleep a little longer. I'll go see what we have to eat. Are you hungry? I'll bring your food in."
Ye Lingyu didn't say anything, but her actions spoke volumes; she also got out of bed.
He stepped forward and straightened her wrung-out clothes, saying, "Let's go, I'll go to the kitchen with you."
"It's so late, I wonder if Auntie has eaten yet."
The aunt here is Yun Yue. Cheng Qingyan called her "Mother," but Ye Lingyu hasn't changed her address yet.
Cheng Qingyan chuckled and teased her, "Still calling her 'Auntie'? But it's alright, we'll just keep calling her that until your mother gives you money to change how you address her, then we'll call her 'Mother'."
Ye Lingyu asked, puzzled, "What is 'change of address money'?"
"It means you should change how you address your aunt to 'Mother,' which is called 'changing how you address someone.' Once you do, you're family. Since there's a new member in the family, she naturally has to give you something to celebrate."
"Is that so? Does that mean if she doesn't give me the money to change her address, we're no longer family?"
Cheng Qingyan immediately said seriously, "How could that be! Whether Mother gives it to you or not, you're still my wife!"
"This 'change of address' money is just a custom in some parts of our area, and it doesn't prove anything."
Ye Lingyu snorted lightly: "Hmph~ You can't escape anyway~"
Cheng Qingyan grinned and clung to her, saying, "I'm not running away, why would I run? Wherever my wife is, that's where I am~"
It was past lunchtime, and there was still no sound from Yun Yue and Shen Ziyu's room.
Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu ate some egg pancakes and white porridge that Ye Lingyu had made, and then went out.
Meng Chuying and Jiang Jiang went out to play after lunch, leaving only Hongyu at home.
Of course, there were still a few guards brought by Yun Yue outside the courtyard, just in case.
Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu went out at this time because they had finished eating and were no longer sleepy, so they wanted to stretch their muscles and bones.
I've been staying indoors with Shen Ziyu these past few days and haven't gone out much.
Now was the perfect time. Cheng Qingyan held up an umbrella to shield Ye Lingyu from the sun and took her to see how the peanuts were growing in the field.
There were hardly any people in the fields, only a few hired workers weeding.
The peanut seedlings have already sprouted, and the germination rate is quite high, which may be related to the fact that she soaked the peanut seeds in pesticide beforehand.
Looking around, there were hardly any missing seedlings; the fields were neatly arranged and well-managed.
The irrigation ditches have also been cleared to prevent the soybeans and peanuts from being drowned by excessive summer rains.
The soybean seedlings in the large plot are already a bit old, but in the small plot, some are just right to be picked and stir-fried.
The fields and this small plot of land, less than an acre in size, are planted a few days apart.
I initially planned to use them as late-season soybeans, either stir-fried or boiled. Now it's time to cook them and make a plate of stir-fried soybean sprouts.
Soybean sprouts, yellow in color, never seen the sun, have a bean-like aroma when eaten.
Soybean sprouts, sprouted from the fields and exposed to the sun and rain, are green.
Because it grows quickly, it easily develops two small leaves on its stem.
But it doesn't taste like beans, especially the green bean sprouts with leaves on them; it tastes a bit like eating leafy greens.
The key point is that Cheng Qingyan doesn't like to eat soybean sprouts that never see the light of day; she only likes to eat the green soybean sprouts that grow in the ground and have been exposed to wind, rain, and sun.
