After walking for a while, he caught up with them. Li Weimin could only hear the laughter and noises of Wang Xiaolong, Zhao Yu and others coming from the front, and he felt very annoyed.
They just make up stories about how this girl denounces someone with a bad character. Even the village ladies don't have so much to say.
Li Weimin didn't understand, nor did he want to understand. He just wanted to earn money to go home, build a house, get married, and live a good life. Suddenly, he felt that the rope on his shoulders was not so difficult to pull.
At home, Tian Xiaolan took out the mushrooms she picked in the mountains yesterday. They were already a little wilted. She first picked out the unripe mushrooms and planted them in the vegetable garden. She took the remaining mushrooms to the kitchen, washed and cut them, and prepared to put them in the porridge at noon.
Before Tian Xiaolan traveled through time, she was still a college student at the Agricultural College. She liked to grow mushrooms in her dormitory to lay the foundation for her future graduate studies. Unexpectedly, she woke up and found herself in the 1980s. She didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
She fed the chickens at home and cooked porridge. There were only some radishes and vegetables in the vegetable garden. After so many days, Tian Xiaolan had not seen any meat and was unable to sleep every night because of hunger. She knew that the older generation had a hard life, but she did not expect that life was so difficult.
Just as she was thinking about it, the dog in the yard started barking and became restless. Tian Xiaolan went out to see, and saw Chen Dong standing at the door, looking inside with a wretched look. After not seeing him for a few days, the bags under his eyes were so big that it seemed as if all his energy had been sucked out.
"Lanlan, I have a few words to say to you. It's not convenient here. Can you let me in?"
Tian Xiaolan wanted to see what she was up to. She waved her hand downward and said to Xiao Hei, "Sit down. Stop shouting. Let him in."
"I'm not deliberately denying our relationship, it's just that I can't give you what you want right now, so I have to let you down for now." Chen Dong pushed the door open by himself. He didn't dare to walk beside Xiao Hei at all. He just wanted to walk close to the wall. After entering the house, Chen Dong was about to reach out to close the door, but Tian Xiaolan kicked the door in time.
"If there's anything shameful, there's no need to close the door."
That day, when she went out, she saw a slogan on the wall of the village with the words "Establish a good style and show the style of the times" written in large characters. In this day and age, reputation is more important than anything else, and style issues are dealt with very strictly. Moreover, they were two single men and women in the same room, and they were afraid that even the smallest thing could lead to something bad happening.
"Lanlan, you understand me. I was sorry for what happened to you before. Don't be angry. I will feel bad if you get sick from anger. The day after tomorrow I will invite you to go shopping in town and buy some things. Will you please come and see me, beautiful lady?" Chen Dong said as he was about to step forward and hold Tian Xiaolan's hand. She avoided Chen Dong, got the broom, and started cleaning.
"You're talking about what happened by the river, Brother Dong. How could I blame you? I know you're doing this for my own good. Go shopping? You don't have much money, so you'd better not spend it!" Tian Xiaolan shook her head, a look of heartache in her eyes.
He saw the love for himself in Tian Xiaolan's eyes. Although he was no longer stupid, he was still as gullible as before. He withdrew his hand and heard her calling the familiar name. The discomfort in his heart just now disappeared.
Chen Dong's eyes kept flickering as he continued with his prepared words, whispering softly, "It's worth spending money on your wife. Even if it means giving away everything, as long as you are happy, I will be happy too."
Looking closer, I found that Tian Xiaolan seemed to have really changed, not only in her brain. Although her face was still sallow, she was full of energy, with bright eyes and white teeth. Perhaps it was because I had never looked at her carefully before.
He slapped his head suddenly and told himself not to be soft-hearted. It took a lot of effort to contact this human trafficker, and Wang Juan was still waiting for his news. Chen Dong knew that there was no way out.
"Great, I haven't gone shopping with Brother Dong alone yet? I'm so happy!" Tian Xiaolan swept faster and faster with joy, and the dust on the ground flew up.
"We've agreed to meet at the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village at six o'clock the day after tomorrow morning."
Tian Xiaolan's eyes suddenly lit up with the brightest light, "Isn't it a bit early? It's still dark then, I'm scared..."
"Last time it was an accident. I don't know who knocked me unconscious behind the tree." Chen Dong seemed to be accusing her. He wiped away his tears twice and stared at her with unspeakable contempt in his eyes. "Lanlan, please don't tell your parents, because this is our date alone. I don't want anyone to disturb us, okay?"
"I promise you, Dong brother, you are so good to me!"
Instead of avoiding it, it is better to face the problem head on and deal with it accordingly. She wants to see what Chen Dong is going to do.
Only after receiving Tian Xiaolan's affirmative answer did Chen Dong breathe a sigh of relief.
After a few words, they saw smoke rising around the house, and Tian Xiaolan spoke.
"Brother Dong, it's almost noon, and I have to go deliver food to Uncle Weiguo, so I won't keep you here."
"Do you need my help?" Chen Dong pretended not to understand the meaning of the words, kicked the small stones at his feet, and was about to go into the kitchen.
Tian Xiaolan blocked the door with a broom and pushed him away. "No need. Aunt Guihua should be back soon. Go away!"
"Then I'll be leaving." Seeing that Tian Xiaolan didn't give him food as usual, he waved his hand impatiently to indicate that there was no need to send him off.
In a few minutes, Aunt Guihua came back. As soon as she opened the kitchen door, she smelled a fragrant smell. She opened the lid of the pot and found some clean white wild mushrooms.
Fang Guihua asked in surprise: "Lanlan, did you do this?"
"Yeah, I made them all." Tian Xiaolan took the spatula from behind her and scooped out the mushroom porridge from the lunch box, and scooped a bowl for her as well. "You eat first, I'll go take food to Uncle Weiguo and visit Brother Weimin by the way. Aunt Guihua, do you have anything to bring?"
"You don't need to bring anything. Can you find the way? You've eaten. When did you learn to cook?" He picked up the lunch box and left.
"After eating, I watched you guys cook more often and found that it's not that difficult to do it yourself."
"Smart kid, not like your big, dumb brother who can't even wash his clothes when he grows up."
The mud on the clothes hung in the yard from the last wash had not been rubbed clean yet, and Xiaolan had to rub them twice before they were clean. Yesterday, when it rained, Fang Guihua collected the clothes and found that the bed sheet hanging inside had a hole in it. It was fine before, so she knew who did it without having to think about it.
"It's better not to go. If you get lost, where will we find you?" Fang Guihua stopped her and wanted to take the lunch box from her hand.
Tian Xiaolan pushed her onto the stool, took a deep breath, and ran away with her lunch box. "I dreamed last night that something bad happened to my brother in the city, so I must go."
"How can you take a dream seriously? It's okay. This kid has been tough since he was a child, so he'll be fine."
"I've seen Chen Dong sneaking around outside the courtyard wall these past few days. I don't think he's a good guy! If he comes looking for you, ignore him," Fang Guihua shouted from behind. She believed Tian Xiaolan knew her limits and couldn't stop him. "When you get to town, ask where the brick factory is. She grew up under my care. She'll be back with your brother this afternoon."
