Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Old Mrs. Lin nodded, "We have to build a new house. Although the house we live in now can be lived in, it is still a thatched house after all. Your eldest brother's marriage can't be delayed too much. We built a new house later, a brick house and With the carriage in hand, how can you possibly find a perfect wife for your eldest brother?"

Of course, what Mrs. Lin refers to as the best wife is the best wife for ordinary farmers.

We don't dare to think about those young ladies from wealthy families, and we have never thought about it.

Cheng Wan pursed her lips and couldn't help but think of Cheng Daping's thoughts about Xu Zhinian.

"Ugh."

Cheng Wan sighed silently.

Let nature take its course for now...

They were all doing farm work, but Cheng Wan felt that today's farm work was much more comfortable than the previous farm work during the Zongzi Festival.

First of all, the weather was not so hot, and I didn’t sweat much, which caused my clothes to stick to my body, which was very uncomfortable.

Secondly, plowing the ground and picking up the grass turned up by the plow was much easier for Cheng Wan than cutting wheat.

At least not scratching.

To this day, Cheng Wan can't help but frown when she thinks of the feeling of Maimang pricking her body.

Some people lead the horses and mules, some help the plow behind, and some at the back clean up the grass and break up large clods of soil.

The whole family cooperates very well.

Even Gu Yu followed Wang and picked up a piece of grass with his little hands.

Gu Yu wanted to continue, but Wang wouldn't let him do it.

In Wang's mind, Gu Yu was a child from a very wealthy family. He was only staying at her home temporarily, so how could he be allowed to do farm work?

They brought Gu Yu out just because there was no one at home, so they were not here to do the work.

Even if the farm work is just following the adults and picking up grass from time to time.

Mrs. Wang carefully wiped Gu Yu's little hands clean with a sweat towel, and said lovingly: "Sui Sui, good boy, go sit on the mat over there and play for a while. A Wan has put some snacks in the little bag for you. Take it and eat it yourself.”

The small bag that Wang was talking about was a very small cross-body bag. It was made based on the shape of the cross-body bag that Wang had sewn for Cheng Wan before, and it was carried on Gu Yu's body.

Gu Yu liked it very much.

Gu Yu stretched out his little finger and pointed in the direction of Cheng Wan, "Wanwan."

Mrs. Wang straightened up and glanced at Cheng Wan's back in the distance, "Ah Wan is busy at the moment. I'll come to see you later when Ah Wan has a rest. Sui Sui first, eh?"

"Come on, they're right in front."

Wang was talking warmly to Gu Yu when a sudden shout interrupted her words.

"From the Cheng family! From the Cheng family! Someone is looking for you!"

Wang straightened up and saw a carriage parked near the unloaded carriage, and then two girls got out of the carriage.

"Miss Xu? Chunwen?"

Wang's eyes widened in disbelief. She blinked her eyes vigorously to make sure she saw it correctly, and hurriedly shouted to Cheng Xiaoyu standing in front of her: "Xiaoyu, Miss Xu is here, go and call you eldest sister!" "

Cheng Xiaoyu and Cheng Sanping were both busy carrying the grass pulled out by the adults into the ditch. When she heard Wang's voice, she first looked back in surprise, and then threw the grass in her hand into the arms of Cheng Sanping next to her. , and ran in the direction of Cheng Wan.

The reason why Wang gave the task of calling people to Cheng Xiaoyu instead of Cheng Sanping is also very simple.

Cheng Xiaoyu ran faster than Cheng Sanping.

Chunwen put ten coins in the hand of the lady who just called, and said with a smile: "Thank you for leading the way, we won't send you back."

The aunt looked at the copper plate in her hand and smiled so hard that her eyes almost disappeared.

"No, no, I can just go back by myself."

After saying that, the aunt didn't seem to be annoying at all, she simply turned around and walked back in the direction she came from.

Here, Wang had already led Gu Yu towards Xu Zhinian and Chunwen.

"Miss Xu, Chunwen, why are you here?"

Xu Zhinian was wearing a simple dress and no jewelry, with a friendly smile on her lips.

"Aunt Wang, why do you still call me Miss Xu? Just call me Nian Nian."

Chunwen said nothing, only smiled and gave a slight salute to Mrs. Wang.

Wang was not prepared to argue with Xu Zhinian about this matter.

Wang naturally liked Xu Zhinian.

But this kind of liking is mixed with the natural respect and even fear of the subordinates for the superiors.

Xu Zhinian can call her Aunt Wang calmly, but she currently cannot call Xu Zhinian "Nian Nian" calmly.

Xu Zhinian saw Wang's intention and stopped worrying about the issue of address. He changed the subject and said, "I came to look for A Wan. I wanted to bring over the thank you gift that my mother prepared for A Wan and you." Yes, but my mother said she forgot to prepare some things, so Chunwen and I couldn't wait any longer, so we came over first."

"Thank you?"

Wang was a little confused.

"Madam said that Miss Cheng saved the young lady and the young master, which is equivalent to saving her and the master. Thanks to your care along the way, the young lady and the young master were able to reach Shuoyang safely."

"So Madam has prepared something to express her gratitude and congratulate you on settling in Pingnan Village."

Chunwen said, the smile on his face getting bigger and bigger, "Madam said that the Cheng and Xu families will often communicate with each other in the future, as relatives, but Madam is busy taking care of the master now and can't get away, so she didn't come this time. .When the master gets better, the madam and the master will come to visit in person."

Are you a relative with the county magistrate?

Wang was a little panicked and didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, at this moment, Cheng Wan ran over.

Cheng Wan's hands were stained with mud, and there was a streak of dust on her face. Her shoes were so dirty that the original color could no longer be seen.

When Xu Zhinian saw Cheng Wan, the smile on his face obviously widened a lot and his mood became more lively.

"Look at the dust on your face, wipe it quickly."

Cheng Wan took the handkerchief that Xu Zhinian handed over and wiped his face according to Xu Zhinian's instructions. He said casually: "There is nothing dirty when you go to the fields to do farm work. I have already taken care of it. My father, I Brother, they are even dirtier."

"Oh, I'll come, I'll come."

Xu Zhinian took the handkerchief on Cheng Wan's hand and wiped it with her own hands. While wiping it, she felt distressed and said, "Isn't it very hard? How about I arrange for someone to do it for you? How long will it take?"

"No, I don't feel tired. I can finish plowing the land today. If necessary, I will hire people from the village to help."

Wang and Chunwen: "..."

The two of them had the same feeling at this time: they felt a little redundant.

But not Gu Yu.

When Xiaowa saw Cheng Wan coming over, she actually ignored her and only talked to Xu Zhinian, which made her a little angry.

Gu Yu let go of Wang's hand, walked over to Cheng Wan with his short legs, and hugged Cheng Wan's legs.

"Wate! Wanwan!"

Cheng Wan lowered his head, raised his eyebrows and picked up Gu Yu with a smile.

"You don't mind how dirty I am, so just stick to me."

Gu Yu put his hands around Cheng Wan's neck, his small face touching Cheng Wan's, and then looked directly at Xu Zhinian with a pair of big eyes, with slight hostility in his eyes.

Xu Zhinian's eyes widened, "No, he...he stared at me."

"Ok?"

Cheng Wan lowered her head to look into Gu Yu's eyes, and all she saw was that Gu Yu was smiling at her with his little face raised. Cheng Wan was so cute that she couldn't help but pinch Gu Yu's face with her hand, successfully leaving two marks on Gu Yu's face. Gray finger prints.

"Cheng Wan!"

Xu Zhinian stamped his feet and his eyes were red.

The leisure and relaxation on Cheng Wan's face disappeared in an instant, and his eyes were filled with anger.

"Who bullied you?"
