89 Enemy
I want to marry you
"Sister Yang, are you telling the truth?" Shu Yao couldn't believe what she heard and was horrified.
Yang Xiuhe also looked terrified: "You don't know, that girl is very ruthless."
"The Ge couple were chopped to pieces, and Ge Yong's head was also chopped off. I heard that the county officials are here."
"What about Ji Zhao?" Shu Yao asked quickly.
Yang Xiuhe sighed: "He cut his wrists, and all five members of his family died tragically. What a sin he committed." After saying this, he looked regretful.
Shu Yao put down the bowl. A mouthful of rice got stuck in her throat, making her feel uncomfortable. She ran to the pool and vomited it out. She grabbed the edge of the pool and looked at her reflection in the water. The price of marrying the wrong person was too high.
The Ge family tragedy alarmed several villages. The neighbors around their home were afraid of encountering something strange, so they all moved out overnight and the house was no longer inhabited.
This incident became the topic of conversation among the villagers after dinner for a long time, until autumn came, when everyone gradually forgot about it.
Shu Yao had some free time recently. Most of the vegetables in the field had been sold. She counted them yesterday and found she had bought ten taels of silver in total, which was quite good. With a pinch of her heart, she took out two taels of silver and handed them to Twelve: "Wages."
If we were to say who has worked the hardest this summer, it would have to be Twelve. He goes out early and comes back late every day, devoting all his attention to taking care of the vegetable seedlings she planted in the fields. He is also responsible for picking and buying vegetables, and it would be unreasonable not to pay him any wages.
Twelve looked at the white silver, then looked at Shu Yao who looked reluctant, and he pushed the money back.
Shu Yao was secretly delighted, but her face remained calm: "This is your wages."
Twelve still shook his head, picked up the bow and arrow in his hand and prepared to go out.
Shu Yao reluctantly put the silver back into her purse, muttering, "Okay then."
When Twelve went out, she reminded him: "Come back early and don't go deep into the woods."
He turned around, nodded, and walked out the door quickly.
Shu Yao thought that Jiang He was coming to her house to make autumn cakes. She thought that the autumn cakes in ancient times should be the moon cakes today. She first kneaded the dough and waited for Jiang He while kneading it.
…
Jiang He had just left the house and opened the door when she saw Chen Er, who had been waiting for a long time. She pouting and asked him unhappily, "What do you want to do, standing guard at my door every day?"
Chen Er scratched his head and said with a simple face: "I don't know either, I just want to see you every day."
Jiang He blushed, cursed him as "enemy", lifted her skirt, passed it under his armpit, and left without looking back.
Chen Er quickly caught up with her, took out a small gadget from his arms and handed it to her: "Sister He, this is for you."
Jiang He looked at the pearl hairpin in his hand. The pearls embellishing it were dazzling and it was obvious that it was worth a lot of money.
Chen Er had been waiting at her doorstep for a while, and every time he would give her some expensive jewelry, saying that "it would look good on her", but she refused them all.
But every time, these things would appear in her room. They were not put there by others, but by her mother for Chen Er.
She couldn't understand why her mother was so optimistic about Chen Er.
When she thought of their "conspiracy", she felt like laughing for some reason, so she reached out and took the pearl hairpin from his hand: "I accept it, and you don't have to go to my mother."
Chen Er had already prepared himself for rejection. After all, this had happened countless times before. But today, she actually accepted his things. He was overjoyed and didn't know what to say for a moment. He lowered his head and rubbed his hands, stuttering: "You...you...as long as you like it." Next time he would buy her a bigger pearl.
After he finished speaking, there was no response for a long time. When he looked up again, Jiang He had already walked a long way away.
Chen Er quickly chased after her: "Sister He, wait for me." Then he walked side by side with her.
Jiang He hummed and unconsciously quickened his pace: "No."
He smiled: "No matter how fast you walk, I can catch up with you."
Jiang He stopped and looked at him seriously, emphasizing each word: "Chen Er, do you really like me that much?" He liked her, she knew it very well, but she had rejected him a long time ago. But she didn't know that Chen Er was like a piece of taffy that she couldn't get rid of.
She suddenly remembered something funny.
Uncle Chen said that when Chen Er was a child, he only learned one or two words at a private school and then sneaked out to play. She thought that if Chen Er had the perseverance to pursue her like he does now, he would have graduated from high school long ago.
Chen Er looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Jiang He, I want to marry you, really."
She had seen him smiling and joking many times, but this was the first time she saw him so serious, and she felt a little at a loss.
She touched her face, and the burning temperature penetrated her palms. She turned around and walked away quickly.
Jiang He ran into Shu Yao's yard with a red face. When Shu Yao saw her like this, before she asked her what was wrong, she saw Chen Er coming in.
Chen Er greeted her and Shu Yao poured them both a cup of tea.
Jiang He's face was still red, and Shu Yao kneaded the dough in her hands and smiled without saying a word.
After drinking a cup of cold tea, Jiang He exhaled, rolled up her sleeves to help, and instructed Chen Er: "Go and light the fire first."
Chen Er went to work happily as if he had received an imperial edict.
After he left, Shu Yao bumped Jiang He's shoulder teasingly: "I think you two are in trouble."
Jiang He increased the intensity of kneading the dough with her hands, without even looking up: "Oh, he's just a follower, he follows me everywhere I go, it's so annoying."
Shu Yao said "Oh" thoughtfully: "Then why are you blushing?"
Jiang He lowered her head even more. Yes, why was she blushing? She didn’t like him anyway. Yes, not at all.
Shu Yao stopped teasing her. The two of them worked seriously on their tasks. When the dough was almost kneaded, Jiang He started to prepare the filling, which was made with sesame seeds and sugar.
"Sister He, I want to eat peanuts." Chen Er said to her with a smile.
Jiang He looked disgusted and said, "Go away, if you want to eat peanuts, make them yourself." Although she said that, she still prepared a bowl of crushed peanuts for him.
Chen Er felt as happy as if it were New Year's Day, and the fire burned brighter and brighter.
Shu Yao followed Jiang He's method and started to make autumn pancakes. In fact, it was just wrapping the filling in the dough, rolling it into a ball with hands, then gently flattening it with a rolling pin, and finally putting it in the steamer to steam. The method was very simple.
She likes sesame ones, so I made a few more sesame flavored ones.
The autumn pancakes cooked quickly. Jiang He picked out a few and put them in the basket. She picked out the ones with peanut filling, wrapped them in oil paper, and handed them to Chen Er: "Yours, Greedy Cat."
Chen Er took it carefully: "Sister He, I will definitely eat all the autumn pancakes you make."
Jiang He: "You'll eat it even if it doesn't taste good?"
Chen Er ate one right away and praised it enthusiastically: "Delicious, delicious. This is the best autumn pancake I have ever tasted."
Jiang He was amused by his funny appearance.
Shu Yao looked at the pair of enemies in front of her, seeing through them but not saying anything, and secretly smiled like an aunt. She really felt that these two people were made for each other, and their magnetic fields were particularly compatible. If Xiao He really married Chen Er, it would be a good marriage.
After the two of them left, Ji Shijing came back with a stack of books. As soon as he entered the house, he smelled the fragrance of sesame. He looked towards the kitchen and saw Shu Yao busy inside.
He put down the book in his hand and went in to help. Shu Yao was making a fire. When she heard the footsteps, she thought it was Twelve coming back, so she said, "Twelve, I steamed some sesame autumn pancakes, you can try them later..." Before she finished speaking, she looked up and saw Ji Shijing standing in front of her with a gloomy face.
Oh, yes, how could she forget that this was the time when the get out of class was over.
She forced a smile: "Ah Jing, you're back so early?"
He moved a small stool and sat next to her, his face sullen and silent. Shu Yao wanted to leave, but he pulled her back: "Is this cake made by sister-in-law specially for Twelve?"
Shu Yao secretly tried to break free from his restraints: "Of course not, Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and this cake is made for us to eat together."
Only then did Ji Shijing let her go.
Seeing that the food was almost done, Shu Yao opened the steamer and hot steam gushed out, filling the kitchen with the rich aroma of sesame. She carefully took out an autumn pancake and put it in the bowl, but her fingers were still burned, so she kept breathing on them.
Ji Shijing pulled her hand over, saw her red fingertips, and looked at her calmly. He seemed nonchalant, but his heart was secretly in a knot.
He remembered the two black cats he saw when he was a child. One of the kittens accidentally injured its leg, and its mother squatted at its feet and licked the injured area for it.
He imitated the female cat, lowered his head, and took her fingertips into his mouth.
In an instant, the smooth touch of the fingertips came over Shu Yao, and she felt a current flowing through her body. Her whole body couldn't help but tremble. Her breathing became rapid and her heartbeat began to speed up.
Ji Shijing not only held her fingertips in his mouth, but his tongue also gently circled around her fingertips.
In a trance, Shu Yao remembered the dream of that day again.
He licked her so gently...
Her breathing became more and more rapid, her whole body became weak, and finally she could not hold on and fell backwards.
Ji Shijing caught her steadily. She nestled in his arms, not daring to look at him. She breathed slightly, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.
Ji Shijing hugged her slender waist, his hands tightening little by little, and the red hairband hung around her neck, feeling itchy.
Shu Yao was stunned when she saw the red hairband.
In the dream, Ji Shijing also covered her eyes with this belt...
The matches beside her were burning with crackling sounds. She closed her eyes, not daring to recall the scene in her dream.
It was not until she heard Twelve's voice outside that she woke up from Ji Shijing's arms as if from a dream.
Ji Shijing looked at her calmly and leaned close to her ear: "Sister-in-law, your waist is so soft."
System: [After testing, the trust value is 50%]
This would also increase trust points. Shu Yao was extremely ashamed and angry, and glared at him: "Lecher."
Twelve walked into the kitchen and saw Shu Yao with an angry look on her face.
Shu Yao pointed at the steamer and said, "We'll have autumn pancakes for lunch. Take some for yourself." Then she ran out.
Twelve took two. Shu Yao was sitting in the yard in a daze. Twelve handed one to her. Just as she was about to take it, Ji Shijing's fair and slender hand reached over and said, "Sister-in-law, eat this."
He broke the cake in his hand in two and handed one half to her.
Shu Yao didn't even look at him. She reached out and took the cake from Twelve's hand and started chewing it in big mouthfuls.
Ji Shijing's hand holding the cake was shaking slightly, veins on his forehead were throbbing, and he slowly approached Shu Yao.
This is his person.
Others are not allowed to covet even a little bit, let alone get involved in it.
