"Nannan, sit in the yard for a while. I'll go visit my mother first. We'll have dinner in the evening." Xiao Fangyun first went back to the room to get a kettle for Su Nan, and then prepared to go out.
"Take an umbrella. The sun is so strong that you'll get tanned." Su Nan saw that she was in a hurry and hurriedly reminded her.
Hearing this, Xiao Fangyun ran back to the main room to get an umbrella. She remembered what Su Nan said about one shade of sun covering three ugly things. In addition, after applying the snowflake cream today, her face became whiter and she looked completely different. She felt more and more that she had to pay attention to sun protection in the future.
What little girl doesn’t love beauty?
Time flies and it's night.
Su Nan walked from the yard to the kitchen door and sat down. He smelled the aroma of meat and peeked inside from time to time.
"Hey, why do you look even more greedy than me?" Xiao Fangyun sat next to Su Nan, carefully picking vegetables in the light of the setting sun, and did not forget to tease her in the intervals.
The small cabbage grown in my own private plot grows tender and clean, and it only needs to be rinsed with clean water twice.
Su Nan was also helping to wash the vegetables. She rubbed the skin of the green peppers with her small hands, carefully rubbing off the dirt on them, and then rinsed them with water before putting them in the basket at her feet.
"That's the smell of grandma and aunt cooking. My mouth is watering just by smelling it." Su Nan rubbed the hair on his face with his elbow and giggled.
Hearing this, Luo Qiongzhi, who was chopping vegetables, leaned out half of her body and said, "What a sweet little mouth! I'll steam an extra bowl of eggs for you later. No one else has any."
"Thank you, grandma." After Su Nan said this, he winked at Xiao Fangyun mischievously, with a proud look on his face.
"Grandma, I want one too." Xiao Fangyun smiled and refused, pouting and acting coquettishly.
Xiao Fangchi and Zhou Rang saw this scene as soon as they entered the door, and they felt different emotions.
The former couldn't help but smile, as if he was already experiencing "married life" in advance.
The latter couldn't help but smile and unconsciously fell in love with the cuteness and playfulness of his "wife".
"Brother, this is Zhou Zhiqing." Xiao Fangyun had sharp eyes and was the first to spot them.
Su Nan looked over when he heard the voice, quickly glanced at Xiao Fangchi, and then stared at Zhou Rang closely, with curved eyebrows and a smile softer and purer than the jasmine buds hanging on the branches.
"Brother Xiao, Zhou Zhiqing." Su Nan followed closely behind, and Tiantian called out to them and greeted them.
I don't know if it was intentional, but when she spoke to Zhou Zhiqing, her tone rose slightly, as if it contained countless little hooks, piercing people's hearts.
The two experienced women in the kitchen looked at each other and understood each other.
The other three people outside the kitchen only felt a tingling sensation passing through their ears, and before they had time to think about it, they were diverted by Su Nan's next words.
"Why are you two together?" Su Nan shook off the water stains on his hands, put his hands down in front of his chest, and asked with his head tilted.
Zhou Rang was not the type of person who would come to someone else's house to look for her at dinner time, and she hadn't had time to mention to the Xiao family about inviting Zhou Rang over for dinner.
"This time, thanks to educated youth Zhou who notified the people in the commune, I thought I should at least treat him to a meal, so I asked educated youth to bring him over." Xiao Fangchi walked to the well, drew a basin of water, and asked Zhou Rang to wash his face together.
Although there was not much sunlight at this time, the two of them still broke out in a thin layer of sweat after walking all the way from the educated youth site.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao. You're much more thoughtful than I am. I should thank Zhou Zhiqing. He has helped me countless times, but I have never repaid him once. I will pay for this meal. I won't let you spend the money."
Su Nan smiled generously at Xiao Fangchi, being polite and courteous. Although his sincerity of gratitude was revealed everywhere, it was not difficult to detect a slight sense of alienation in it.
The latter paused in washing his face and subconsciously looked at Zhou Rang, who was quietly rubbing his fingers with his head lowered in front of him. He laughed at himself in his heart, slowly collected his thoughts, and exhaled.
"Girl, if you keep talking about money, I will be angry." Li Cuiping's temperate roar solved Xiao Fangchi's dilemma of not knowing how to answer.
"That's right, it's too formal here." Xiao Fangyun picked up the washed cabbage and chili peppers, stood up from the chair, and tapped Su Nan's forehead.
"Ouch, it hurts so much." Su Nan covered his head with his hands and cried out exaggeratedly.
Xiao Fangyun shook her head and walked towards the kitchen, greeting him warmly, "Zhou Zhiqing, please sit on my bench. I'm helping my grandma and the others light the fire. Dinner will be a while later."
"Fang Chi, go to your uncle He Jun's house and urge your father. I wonder if there is anything else to discuss after work." Luo Qiongzhi spoke up immediately.
"Hey." Xiao Fangchi responded, glanced at Zhou Rang who was walking towards Su Nan, touched the tip of his nose, and moved towards the door step by step with his legs as if they were filled with lead.
After a while, Su Nan and Zhou Rang were the only ones left in the yard.
Su Nan was still shaking off the water droplets on her hands. She secretly glanced at Zhou Rang who had just sat down, and watched him move the bench half a meter to the side, much further away from her.
It's like drawing a line in the sand.
"Bang." A mirror fell into the basin, splashing water all over Zhou Rang.
"Oops, sorry, my hand slipped." Su Nan widened his eyes and looked at Zhou Rang angrily.
The latter raised his eyelids and looked back at her. After a moment of silence, he picked up the mirror from the water and handed it to her. His dark pupils were incredibly beautiful, and his thin pink lips were tightly pursed.
"for you."
Miss Su Nan got angry and let him hold it like that, but she refused to take it. She said in a sarcastic tone, "I dare not trouble you. Just throw it there. I will pick it up later."
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Rang narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, somewhat confused as to why Su Nan suddenly got angry.
"What's wrong with me? I haven't asked you what's wrong with you yet. Just now, someone deliberately moved the chair so far away, didn't he just want to be close to me? I'm just following your wishes. Let's not get close to each other."
Su Nan crossed his arms and snorted coldly, then turned his head to the other side, leaving Zhou Rang with only a puffy profile.
The atmosphere was deadlocked, and a fragrance wafted through the air. It was the tempting smell of wild vegetables fried until softened, the overflowing broth mixed with the fat and water. Occasionally, there were the sounds of a spatula stirring the dishes, which was particularly tempting to the taste buds.
After a while, Su Nan heard the sound of a bench moving, and soon the mirror was placed on her knees.
"That's not what I meant." Zhou Rang was much taller than Su Nan, and his shadow loomed over her head. His voice was low with a hint of helplessness that was barely perceptible.
"I'm not a monster. If you come any closer, I'm not going to eat you."
As Su Nan accused, he turned his head suddenly and almost bumped into Zhou Rang's chest.
She didn't expect him to get so close to her all of a sudden, almost sitting right next to her, and her face turned red.
