The poor man grows watermelon

It is said that good things come in pairs, as expected.

The matter between Shao Ping and Hou An has been settled. Although the village chief Hou has not let go, but seeing Hou An's caring appearance, it will be a matter of time before the two get married.

Not two days after this incident, Donggua came to the door with a gift.

At that time, Su Ya'er happened to be in the yard, Donggua saw him from a distance, and immediately raised his chest, like a soldier waiting for the chief to inspect.

Su Ya'er showed a polite smile, and asked kindly: "Is Captain Huo here to find Brother Feng?"—Donggua is an orphan, and grew up in the Huo family army, so his surname is "Huo".

Donggua was both excited and nervous, and couldn't speak fluently, "Brother Yaya, you, you, you..."

Suddenly a man popped out of the cowshed and slapped Donggua on the shoulder, "Hey! Are you cold? You tremble when you speak."

Winter Melon's body shook, and he reflexively blocked Su Ya'er, and his body also assumed an attacking posture.

Su Qingzhu folded his arms and laughed, "Why, do you want to fight?"

Seeing that it was him, Donggua relaxed, then remembered the purpose here, and became nervous again, "No, don't fight, Brother Zhu misunderstood...hehe."

Su Ya'er smiled, and said: "Brother Feng and Xiaoye took Xuewa to go to Hulu Village for needlework, and they will be back before noon. Captain Huo, come in and sit down!"

Donggua nodded quickly, "Okay, okay."

Seeing that he was carrying a big bamboo basket, Su Qingzhu said enthusiastically, "Is this for my brother? Let me carry it!"

When Dong Gua heard this, she subconsciously denied it, "It's not for sister-in-law."

Su Ya'er and Su Qingzhu looked at each other, puzzled.

Donggua showed a bit of annoyance, and changed his words embarrassingly, "It's...well!"

His embarrassment made Su Qingzhu laugh out loud, and deliberately teased him, "Is it, or isn't it?"

Winter Melon wrinkled his face and replied in a low voice: "Yes."

Su Qingzhu blinked at Su Ya'er, grabbed the bamboo basket, and looked through everything.

Donggua couldn't dodge in time, and he succeeded.

Su Ya'er scolded with a fierce face, "Qing Zhu, don't do this."

Su Qingzhu shook his head and said jokingly: "He is acting weird today, who knows what conspiracy is there? I have to check for my brother."

Su Ya'er glared at him angrily, and then smiled apologetically at Dong Gua, "Zhu Zi has been learning the art of war with Master Min these days, and he speaks and acts a little strangely, Captain Huo forgive me."

Seeing Shuang'er smiling at her, Dong Gua's head was already in a mess, and she replied dully: "It's okay, it's okay."

Su Qingzhu looked at the appearance of the two people, rolled his eyes, and lifted the basket to look carefully.

"Sewing needles, colored thread, bacon, mung bean cake...why do I feel like you don't give these things to my brother?"

Donggua rubbed her hands awkwardly, glanced at Su Ya'er secretly, and then quickly looked away.

Su Ya'er looked at him suspiciously, as if waiting for an answer.

Sensing Shuang'er's soft eyes, Donggua moved her mouth, as if she wanted to say something urgently, but she couldn't say anything.

Su Qingzhu looked at this, then at that, and said with a smile: "I know! This thing is not for my brother, but for Ya'er, right?"

Donggua blushed furiously.

Su Ya'er was also slightly taken aback.

Su Qingzhu showed a smirk, "Give it to Ya'er, give it to Ya'er, why are you blushing?"

Donggua glanced at Su Ya'er quietly, and silently recited the words she had prepared before coming here, and finally mustered up the courage to say it.

As a result, as soon as she opened her mouth, Su Ya'er said first: "The stove is hot, I have to go and have a look, Zhuzi, it's good to entertain Captain Huo."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly walked to the kitchen with his head tied.

The courage that Winter Melon had finally mustered up disappeared completely with a "poof".

-

When Su Ye and Yu Feng came back, they felt that the situation at home was a little strange.

Su Ya'er was making pancakes in the kitchen, her cheeks were red because she didn't know if she was smoked by the stove.

There was a big wooden stake squatting in front of the door, and the winter melon was chopping firewood, and the two could see each other by turning their heads slightly.

Su Qingzhu was playing sword in the front yard, this guy was rarely calmed down, every move was fierce, and the sparrow on the tree flapped its wings in a daze.

Obviously everyone is busy, but the scene is very quiet.

Seeing the carriage slowly approaching, Su Qingzhu was the first to jump up, ran to Su Ye in two or three steps, and said mysteriously: "Winter melon is sending something to Ya'er!"

It looked like a child complaining to his parents.

Su Ye raised her eyebrows and looked at Donggua with a smile.

Donggua cleaned the sawdust off her body and called "sister-in-law" enthusiastically.

Su Ye smiled, and replied, "I work every time I come here, so I told you Brother Feng to be lazy."

Donggua scratched her head, smiled innocently and helped Yu Feng unload the car.

Su Ye carried Xue Wa out of the car and walked towards the kitchen unhurriedly, "Ya'er, what are you doing?"

Su Ya'er took Xuewa into her arms, pinched her fleshy cheeks affectionately, and replied gently: "Baked scallion pancakes, steamed bacon, stewed chicken, and stewed tofu with cabbage balls ...I'll cut a plate of sour bamboo shoots later, it's enough to entertain guests."

Su Ye nodded and smiled deeper, "When did you dare to kill chickens?"

Su Ya'er blushed, and whispered, "It was Captain Huo who killed him."

Su Ye raised his eyebrows, and said meaningfully: "It's not bad to have someone who can help me kill chickens, don't you think?"

Su Ya'er hummed softly, but her slender hands were nervously grabbing Xue Wa's arm.

Xue Wa squinted her round eyes, puffed her face and protested, "Uncle Ya, it hurts!"

Su Ya'er came to her senses, quickly let go of her hand, and blew softly, "Uncle blow, the baby won't cry."

Xuewa bent her eyes obediently, and replied nonchalantly, "Don't cry~"

Su Ye brought the wheelchair over and kissed the little guy on the forehead, "Daddy and uncle serve the dishes, the baby will ask everyone to eat, okay?"

"Okay~" Xuewa happily agreed, and went out happily in the small wheelchair as usual to "run an errand".

Only Su Ye and Su Ya'er were left in the kitchen.

Su Ye asked gossipingly while putting the dishes on the plate, "Ya'er, what do you think of wax gourd?"

"Very... good." Su Ya'er's voice was weak, if you didn't listen carefully, you might miss it.

Su Ye smiled secretly, and said bluntly, "If he proposes marriage to you, would you be willing?"

Su Ya'er was silent for a long time, before she said: "Xiaoye, I want to stay with you for a few more years... Let's talk about it after Xuewa is older and Erbao can walk."

Su Ye understood what Su Yaer meant—it wasn't that he didn't like winter melon, but that he missed him.

Su Ye was moved in his heart, but on his face he said jokingly: "When the second treasure is older, there is still the third treasure. Do you want to never get married?"

Su Ya'er pursed her lips, and replied, "It's okay."

Su Ye gave him a sideways glance, "What nonsense."

Su Ya'er sincerely defended, "Xiao Ye, I'm serious, if it wasn't for Lord Hou—"

Su Ye patted his thin shoulder and interrupted him, "The past was the past, and now is the present. You have paid off the kindness of those years, and now you are no longer a servant of the Hou family, but a serious man. The people of Yujia Village are my relatives, whether you marry a man or a wife is your freedom, you don't have to think about anyone."

Su Ya'er stared at Su Ye in a daze, with complex expressions in her brown eyes, joyful, touched, hesitant, and finally tensed.

"Xiaoye, you treat me as a relative...I'm very happy, I want to stay at home for a few more years, is that okay?"

Su Ye sighed helplessly, and compromised: "Otherwise, let's make an appointment first, and wait until you want to get married, okay?"

Seeing that Su Ye was not only not angry, Su Ya'er listened to her own words and nodded in surprise, "Okay."

Su Ye smiled slyly and joked, "I knew you liked wax gourd too!"

It was only then that Su Ya'er realized that she had fallen into his trap. She was shy and annoyed for a while, and said "serious words" to Su Ye for the first time in her life, "Steamed chicken soup with mountain mushrooms is not for you." !"

Su Ye raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Brother Feng will give it to me."

Su Ya'er stared, but couldn't hold back, and laughed silently.

-

After eating, Donggua rushed to help Yu Feng with work without saying goodbye.

Su Ye didn't break it, but went to the kitchen to dip some snowballs. There happened to be soy beans marinated the day before, and after a little heating, the family gathered around the small stove and talked warmly.

Su Qingzhu and Xuewa scrambled to eat snowballs, and teased the little guy while grabbing them back, "Look, you are Xuewa, this is snowball, you are brothers, Xuewa can't eat brothers."

Xuewa seemed to take it seriously, holding a snowball wrapped in icing sugar in her small hand, and muttering in a daze, "Baby's...brother?"

"Yes!" Su Qingzhu nodded seriously, "So the baby can't eat, uncle will eat for you."

"You can't eat it." Xuewa carefully put back the snowball in her hand, then brought the basin closer to her, stared into Yuanyuan's eyes, and said seriously, "Brother who can't eat the baby."

Su Qingzhu was dumbfounded immediately, and stood there with his hand outstretched in the air, neither holding it nor holding it.

It made everyone laugh.

Su Ye tapped the little guy's head, and said with a smile, "Baby, don't listen to uncle. Look, he is a bamboo, doesn't he also eat bamboo shoots?"

Xuewa blinked her watery eyes and suddenly realized, "That's right."

Su Ye pulled his little hand to his stomach, and said softly, "Baby's younger brother is in Daddy's stomach, he is a small person, not a hawthorn ball."

"Little man?" Xue Wa had never seen a baby smaller than him, so she couldn't imagine what it would be like for a while.

Su Ye smiled and said, "My younger brother is not a hawthorn ball, nor a bamboo shoot, but has hands and feet like a baby, has a round head, can cry, laugh, eat, and calls the baby 'brother'."

"Call me brother!" Xue Wa's eyes brightened.

Su Ye nodded and spoke patiently.

Xuewa listened carefully, even though some words were still incomprehensible, but from this moment he fell in love with the brother in his father's womb - it was a villain, not a hawthorn ball!

Everyone could see that Donggua had something on his mind, but he just didn't say anything.

Yu Feng dragged him to talk here and there, talking about the construction of the palace on the north side of the Maple Leaf River for a while, and recalling the war in those years. Seeing that most of the day was going to pass, this guy still didn't mention the business.

In the end, Su Ye couldn't bear it anymore and asked bluntly, "Are you here to propose marriage today?"

Dong Gua was originally talking about the severe drought in the Northwest during the war, but Su Ye suddenly asked such a question, and he stayed there in a daze, without responding for a long time.

Su Ye raised her eyebrows, and said regretfully, "So it wasn't, sorry, I was thinking too much."

Dong Gua suddenly came back to his senses, jumped up, then fell down with a plop, pulled Su Ye's sleeve and shouted excitedly: "Yes, yes, I'm here to propose marriage, I'm here to propose marriage!"

Everyone in the room was blushing and laughing loudly, even Xiao Xuewa was leaning on the wheelchair, bending her eyes sweetly.
