On the way here, Xiao Yamanashi had heard from her mother that this was Uncle Okawa, a very nice man who would buy her candied haws and rattles.
Although Xiao Yamanashi was still afraid, she was a child after all, and could not resist the temptation of the rattle. She slowly took two steps forward and timidly called out, "Uncle Okawa."
Zhao Luochuan squatted down and responded with a smile: "She's so sweet! Children grow up so fast. She was just a tiny little girl when I last saw her, and now she's already this big. She looks so much like Brother Chaolai."
After calling out to everyone, Xiao Shanli hid behind Suhe, revealing one eye and secretly looking at Zhao Luochuan.
"This child is timid and shy. She usually hides when she sees people. Today is the first time I heard her call people on her own initiative. It shows that she hasn't forgotten that you held her when you were a child and she is very familiar with you." Su He's eyes were full of tenderness, and there was an emotion in her eyes that she didn't even notice when she looked at Zhao Luochuan.
She was only half a year old then, so how could she remember anything? Zhao Luochuan just thought she was being polite and said to Xiao Shanli in a slow voice, "I haven't prepared anything for today. When we get to town tomorrow, I'll buy you some candy, okay?"
When Xiao Shanli heard that Zhao Luochuan was going to buy her candy, she couldn't help swallowing and nodded slightly.
Yang Donghu heard someone talking in the yard in the house. Through the window, he saw Zhao Luochuan standing in the yard talking and laughing with Su He. He immediately became angry.
As soon as he saw Su He, he thought of the things she had done to provoke him. He knew she would not give up, but he didn't expect her to even come home to chase him.
Yang Donghu's mind was full of the mandarin duck handkerchief. He could clearly see the admiration in Su He's eyes. Now seeing Zhao Luochuan smiling so happily, he felt like he was soaked in vinegar.
The more Yang Donghu looked at them, the more irritated he felt. He wanted to rush forward and stand between the two of them.
He believed that Zhao Luochuan was right, but that didn't mean he could just sit there and watch the two of them continue to have contact. No one would be able to tolerate that.
"Zhao Luochuan is a big fool. She showed it so obviously, but he couldn't see it. Just throw away his eyes." Yang Donghu thought sourly in his heart, threw his clothes on the bed, stood up suddenly and went out angrily.
"Brother Dong, Brother Dong?"
Zhao Fangchu didn't know where his anger came from and was shocked. He called out twice but got no response. He looked at Yang Donghu with a puzzled look on his face as he walked out like a gust of wind.
Su He saw Yang Donghu before Zhao Luochuan, and she couldn't help feeling guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"What are you doing here?"
Yang Donghu rarely spoke so coldly. Zhao Luochuan initially thought he had misheard, but then he reacted with shock: "Donghu? What's wrong with you?"
Yang Donghu knew that his behavior was quite strange in Zhao Luochuan's eyes, but he just couldn't help it.
"I just came to take a look. After all, you know, Dachuan helped me a lot in the past." Su He put on a non-competitive look again, as if she was really only grateful to Zhao Luochuan.
In the past, in the past, in the past, and in the past again, Yang Donghu was almost overwhelmed by this word. Wasn't it just showing off that he had known Zhao Luochuan for two years earlier?
"Have you finished? Can we leave now?"
Yang Donghu tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and restrain himself from saying more unpleasant words.
"Dong Hu!" Zhao Luochuan's voice suddenly rose: "What are you talking about?"
This was the first time Zhao Luochuan had called his name so loudly since the two of them had met. Yang Donghu looked at Zhao Luochuan in disbelief, feeling aggrieved.
Just then Su He interrupted: "Don't blame him, blame me for saying the wrong thing today, Dong Hu. I didn't mean to make you angry today. I'm not good at speaking. If I made you feel uncomfortable, I apologize. If you don't want to see me, then I'll go back first and apologize to you another day."
He said he was going to leave, but his feet didn't move a step.
These words made Yang Donghu upset. He didn't want to see Zhao Luochuan now, so he turned around and went back to his yard without saying a word.
No matter how Zhao Luochuan shouted from behind, there was no response.
"Sister-in-law, Dong Hu might be feeling a little unwell today. He's not usually like this. Please don't be offended. It's not convenient for me to receive you today. Please go back first. I'll go burn incense for Brother Chao Lai when I have time."
Zhao Luochuan finished speaking hurriedly and hurried to chase Yang Donghu. Fortunately, he didn't go far and just hid in the house.
Zhao Luochuan has always been easy to talk to, and Yang Donghu always does what he wants, but now he has become a little bit capricious.
Yang Donghu rushed into the room, threw the unfinished cloth shoes down heavily, then sat on the bed and sulked at the wall.
"Donghu." Zhao Luochuan's voice was full of worry. When he stepped into the door, his foot stepped on a foreign object. He lowered his head to pick up his cloth shoes.
Such a large size shows that it is made for himself. The stitches on it are fine and dense. Zhao Luochuan knows that Yang Donghu's handicraft is not good. It must have taken a lot of thought to make this pair of cloth shoes like this. He was suddenly overwhelmed by guilt.
"Donghu, Donghu?" Zhao Luochuan brushed the dirt off his shoes and placed them on the bed. He then sat behind Yang Donghu and reached out to pull his arm: "Donghu, look at me. What's wrong with you? Did something happen? Or did I do something wrong? Tell me and I'll change."
"Donghu, turn your head and look at me."
Zhao Luochuan didn't dare to use force. He tugged lightly a few times and saw that Yang Donghu didn't react. Then he changed his seat and sat opposite Yang Donghu: "Donghu, talk to me."
Yang Donghu felt that he was being extremely hypocritical, but he was still angry and didn't want to look up: "What are you doing here? Are you yelling at me again?"
"I didn't yell at you," Zhao Luochuan quickly explained, waving his hands anxiously. "I admit my voice was a little loud, but I definitely didn't mean to yell at you."
"Hmph." Yang Donghu turned his face away.
"It's my fault, but can you please tell me what happened? If it's really my fault, can you please stop being angry?"
"I don't like her."
Zhao Luochuan was bewildered: "Who? Sister-in-law?"
"She doesn't want to be your sister-in-law."
Yang Donghu calmed down a bit, and his clear voice revealed displeasure: "Besides helping her get rid of the bad guys, what else have you done for her?"
"It's nothing. When Brother Chaolai left, it was the busy summer season. Life was not easy for her. She had to deal with her blood-sucking relatives and also look after the crops in the fields. She's a woman, and if no one helps, the crops will rot in the fields. But it wasn't just me. Brother Fangyu and my uncle, as well as several other men in the village, helped too. It wasn't just me."
Su He's words were too ambiguous, and Yang Donghu thought that it was only Zhao Luochuan who was running around for her. But after listening to Zhao Luochuan's explanation, he realized that he had misunderstood.
"Then why did you use her handkerchief?"
Zhao Luochuan still looked confused: "What handkerchief?"
