The villagers watched Mai Sui and Shen Xingchen pass by them, and a fire of gossip spread rapidly like wildfire.

"Look, isn't that Mai Sui and Shen Zhiqing? When did they become a couple?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao immediately stretched her neck to look, and then said indignantly, "Could Shen Zhiqing have been deceived?"

Other villagers have different views.

"In my opinion, maybe Mai Sui was deceived. It's obvious that Shen Zhiqing is not a worker. Maybe he heard that Mai Sui's family eats well and wants to hook up with a rich man."

"Stop talking nonsense here. Shen Zhiqing is from Beijing. How could he be interested in Mai Sui?"

"So what if I came from the capital? I'm not sure if I can return to the city."

"Could it be that Shen Zhiqing deliberately approached Mai Sui, hoping to use her relationship with the captain to cheat her into returning to the city?"

"Don't worry, the captain is not stupid. Besides, Mai Sui has the tough father Mai Lao San. It won't be easy for Shen Zhiqing to take advantage of him for nothing."

"I seem to see Mai Laosan helping Shen Zhiqing with his work."

"No way? He doesn't even do his own work, but goes to help Shen Zhiqing with his work?"

"Has Mai Lao San changed his character, or has he gone insane?"

"I think he was probably fooled by the pretty boy from the city. It's pitiful that all parents in the world care about their children."

"This Shen Zhiqing is really capable. He can even handle Mai Lao San."

Everyone was marveling at the work here, while Mai Lao San was working hard over there.

Mai Laosan was depressed and could only vent his anger on corn.

It is said that girls are extroverts. She orders him to do work for her pretty boy as soon as they get together. What will she do in the future?

........

On the other side, Mai Sui and Shen Xingchen went to the river to fish together.

Shen Xingchen witnessed Mai Sui's magical skills with his own eyes and was simply amazed.

This can't be called fishing, it would be more accurate to say it's catching fish.

Moreover, every time he caught one, he was accurate.

Shen Xingchen almost believed that his partner might really be the reincarnation of Wu Quxing.

Maoqiu learned from the villagers that Mai Sui went to the river to fish, so he immediately called his friends and ran to the river.

Last time they exchanged a bundle of firewood for a fish, and they were always wondering when Mai Sui would go fishing again.

Here it is, the opportunity has arrived.

Maoqiu and six or seven other little kids looked at the fish in the bucket with shining eyes, as if they saw braised fish, chopped pepper fish, sliced ​​fish...

Slurp! My saliva is about to flow out.

"Sister Mai Sui, does your family still need firewood today? My father just went to the mountains to pick up firewood early this morning." Maoqiu asked.

"And me, I have a lot of firewood at home."

“I have one at home too!”

“I I I I I I…” Someone was so anxious that he stuttered.

Because there were not many fish in the bucket, he was afraid that it would not be his turn.

Maoqiu lives next door to Maisui's house, and Maisui occasionally asks Maoqiu to run errands or pass messages for her.

Although her family has no shortage of firewood now, it doesn't hurt to stock up a little more.

Besides, catching fish is a very simple thing for Mai Sui.

So I agreed.

The children immediately cheered.

Next, Mai Sui caught the fish, and Shen Xingchen tied up the fish with straw to make it easier for Maoqiu and the others to lift it.

The group of people were laughing and talking happily.

Hutou arrived late, and fearing that the fish had been taken away by Maoqiu and the others, he rushed over and hugged Shen Xingchen's legs with one hand.

The other little hand reached out to the fish in Shen Xingchen's hand, blinked and said, "Uncle, Hutou wants to eat fish too."

Shen Xingchen was confused by the word "uncle", and subconsciously gave the fish he had just tied to Hutou.

Potato, who was waiting in line for the fish, saw this and immediately stood up and said, "Tiger Head, this fish is mine. If you want it, you have to wait in line!"

Tiger Head raised his head and said arrogantly: "This is the fish my aunt caught. Why should it be yours? I won't queue up!"

Potato immediately rushed over to grab it: "This is what I exchanged for firewood, it's mine."

Hu Tou is four years old and Tu Dou is six years old. Hu Tou is obviously no match for Tu Dou.

Shen Xingchen stepped forward to stop the fight, but Hu Tou shouted at him directly: "Uncle, help me!"

"Ahem...Tiger Head, stop yelling. I'm not your uncle."

Hu Tou was unmoved and insisted on calling him uncle: "When I came here, I heard from the villagers that you are my uncle."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xingchen sighed helplessly. He knew that the villagers would talk behind his back.

Look, it hasn’t been long and the rumors are already flying everywhere, even a kid as young as Hu Tou knows about it.

Mai Sui naturally heard it, but she didn't take it to heart.

She walked over, snatched the fish from Hutou's hand and handed it to Tudou.

Then he stuffed the fish he had just caught into Hutou's arms.

"First come, first served, no rushing!"

Hutou looked at the fish in his arms, which seemed to be bigger than the one just now, so he smiled happily.

He knew that his aunt was the best.

Potato was happy when he got his fish back. Soon he was talking and laughing with Tiger Head and they made peace with each other.

Then, everyone took their fish and returned home happily.

Shen Xingchen also carried the bucket and went home with Mai Sui.

However, the two of them are now the focus of gossip in the whole village. After Shen Xingchen got home and put down the bucket, he prepared to leave.

Otherwise, people would see him and Mai Sui, a single man and a single woman, at home, which would have a bad influence.

Mai Sui stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going back to work. It's still early. I'll come over to make dinner after work."

We used to rush to work during the double harvest season and had to finish work at 6pm.

It's five o'clock in the afternoon now.

It's not even four o'clock now, so I can go back and work for another hour.

Mai Sui disagreed and she took Shen Xingchen's hand.

These are a pair of extremely beautiful hands, with long fingers, distinct joints, and clean and tidy nails.

However, there are some small cuts on it, which ruin its beauty. They must have been cut by corn leaves.

Mai Sui found these wounds very annoying and frowned, saying, "Isn't Mai Lao San working for you? From now on, you are not allowed to go there. Let Mai Lao San do the work."

Shen Xingchen knew that Mai Sui was feeling sorry for him. His eyes were full of tenderness as he gently held Mai Sui's hand.

“Thank you, Sui Sui, but don’t worry, I can do it.

Uncle Mai is my elder after all, how can I let him help me with work? What if... he has a problem with me and doesn't agree with us being together? "

"What did you call me?" Mai Sui's focus is always different from that of ordinary people.

"I don't want to call you Wheat Ear like everyone else. From now on, when no one is around, I'll just call you Sui Sui. Is that okay?"

The look in Shen Xingchen's eyes when he looked at Mai Sui was so affectionate and lingering, as if he wanted to drown her in it.

Mai Sui discovered that whenever Shen Xingchen was alone with her, he would become a little different from when he was outside.

However, she likes this 'difference'.

So he nodded heavily: "Okay!"

Shen Xingchen smiled and reached out to tuck the loose hair on both sides of Mai Sui's forehead behind her ears.

Just when he was about to say something, Mai Xiangdong suddenly came over and roared:

"Shen Xingchen, what do you want to do!"
