Village Flowers and Female Scholars

Since Ri Lanxi left that day, she hasn't been to Shangyan Village for more than half a month, and Cao E's empty face has no smile.

She stood at the edge of the field weeding halfway and stopped, staring blankly at the green field, her mind was like a pool of stagnant water, and she was not angry at all.

I regret why I have always given Lan Xi a cold face during this period of time, and said something that told her not to come again that day.

After regretting, he was full of resentment, complaining about why Lanxi was so obedient this time, and would not come if he couldn't say it, and whether the various overtures before were true or false.

If you really like yourself, why can't you just say a few words and you can't stand it and just don't come, and now you just give up if you encounter even greater difficulties in the future.

Thinking in my heart, I made another note for Lan Xi.

But even so, he still missed that person with all his heart and eyes.

Cao E finally couldn't help it, she felt that she must be in a daze, and she wanted to find Lan Xi.

This is the first time in more than 30 years that she has the courage to take the first step towards the outside world. She is a person who will be frightened when she travels far. For that woman, she went to Furong County alone.

The last time I came with Gu'er, this time I was alone. Sitting in the car, Cao E was full of apprehension, anxiety about unfamiliar places, and thinking about what to say to that person later.

When I was at home, I didn't think about it so much, but now I remembered it in the car, and I was so panicked that I wanted to go home halfway.

But thinking of all the worries these days, Cao E thought that no matter what, she would ask her clearly. If she really didn't have herself in her heart, then she would have given up on this thought.

If it really wasn't, Cao E's eyes dimmed instantly, could he really get rid of this thought.

All the way forward, relying on unprecedented courage. In the past, when the mother and child encountered difficulties, her only thought was to risk her life to protect the next pair of children, but now such a thing cannot be exchanged for life.

With a panicked heart, but when he came to the bodyguard bureau, a young man said that the boss had just been out for a few days and hadn't come back yet.

Cao E's heart went cold. She didn't expect that she would come to her with enthusiasm, but she was not there, and she just left the house a few days ago, but she hadn't visited her for more than half a month.

Cao E didn't know how she came back, her heart that was convulsed with nervousness when she was about to see Lan Xi was left with a dull pain.

Ten days later, just when Cao E was feeling disheartened, Matchmaker Wang came to the door.

A handsome little widow like Cao E, plus the restaurant at Ningxikou, and the newly built two-in-one courtyard, I don't know how many people miss her.

But now she has completely broken with the Cao family, and there are no elders above her. If someone is interested in her, she can only ask the matchmaker to ask her personally.

Cao E has rejected this situation several times, and today someone came to the door again, she was a little annoyed, but Wang Matchmaker is also from the next village, and she just came to ask for relatives and did not do anything bad. It's better to drive people out of the house directly.

Just as Cao E was talking to the matchmaker, the sound of horseshoes came from outside the door, and soon, a plump figure appeared at the gate.

Cao E was overjoyed at first, but then her face sank again.

I just said a word to her and she walked away without looking back. It took almost a month for me to come here. She has such a big temper. Didn’t you show her kindness first? But so small.

A few days ago, Lan Xi picked up a risky dart. The distance was not too far. It took more than half a month to go back and forth, and there was a section of water on the way. It is said that there are water ghosts there. These water ghosts are Some bandits along the local coast often come out to rob property.

Lan Xi had a meal and slept in the open all the way, she was vigilant all the time and didn't get a good night's sleep, so she came to have a look as soon as she came back, but she didn't expect a matchmaker to come to her door, and the person she wanted to see turned to her with a cold face .

Recalling what Cao E said before she left last time, Lan Xi, who was always enthusiastic, also began to become depressed at this time.

Her voice was dry, and she said shyly, "Jin Niang asked me to take care of my family earlier, so I should have come and walked around more, but I went out to run darts a few days ago, but I couldn't come here, and now I see that you are all right , then I’ll go back first.”

Cao E just blamed her for not going back before, and blamed her for not knowing her own thoughts.

But now Lan Xi attributed the closeness between the two of them to being entrusted by Jin'er, which made her brain buzz, and she stood there with cold hands and feet, her eyes quickly dyed a trace of red.

But she has always been used to being strong. In the past 30 years, she has suffered a lot and suffered a lot of bullying, but every time she gritted her teeth and survived, but now Lanxi's attitude made her feel cold.

But she still held back the sore corners of her eyes and suppressed her tears, turned around and said to Wang Matchmaker with a calm face: "Don't mention what my aunt just said in the future. Yes, and will not in the future, even if we come again, it will still be the same sentence."

Matchmaker Wang wanted to persuade her again, but the little woman in front of her pursed her lips tightly, as if refusing to discuss further, so she shook her head regretfully and left.

Lan Xi, who was standing at the door, heard Cao E's categorical words that she would not marry again, her eyes became even more sad, and she followed Wang Matchmaker and left.

Seeing this, Cao E was very anxious, and sent Wang Matchmaker away just to have a good talk with her, but this person turned around and left, who did he think he was, and came and left whenever he wanted.

She called Lan Xi's name, but Lan Xi didn't seem to hear her, she just walked forward and was about to get on the horse.

Cao E's heart was on fire, and she took a step to chase out. Ignoring Matchmaker Wang's strange eyes, she pulled Lan Xi in, and then slammed the door shut.

Lan Xi didn't speak. Cao E's attitude towards her was very different between the two times. She really wanted to retreat just now, but when she saw the woman's red eyelids, she couldn't help softening her heart.

But it doesn't mean that she is willing to bump into the wall again and again, she doesn't want to be wrong again, so she just looks at her quietly like this.

Being looked at by Lan Xi like this, Cao E's courage that he mustered up for a while weakened instantly, his throat became dry, and he couldn't speak a word.

Seeing Lan Xi turned around with disappointment in her eyes and was about to go out again, Cao E finally shouted: "Don't go—"

Lan Xi has never been a patient person, and she has never been a soft-hearted person, but seeing Cao E's red eyes and difficult expression at this time, she closed her eyes.

Sighing lightly, she didn't force Cao E to make her decision, but said a little tiredly: "Do you have food? I haven't eaten since yesterday morning."

Cao E let go of her hand as if waking up from a dream. It's not that she didn't see Lan Xi's dusty state, and she also knew what Lan Xi did. Seeing her like this, she probably didn't have a good rest for a few days.

Feeling distressed for a while, I felt that I had misunderstood the other party, maybe I was really delayed because I didn't come before.

She raised her hand and tested the corners of her eyes indiscriminately, and hurriedly said: "I'm going to make food now, it will be ready soon."

Lan Xi looked at her flustered footsteps, and her frustrated face finally gradually warmed up. She raised her hand and looked at the place where she was led just now, where her wrist was tightly held. She could feel the little woman's urgency and panic.

Being able to look like this is already the biggest change.

Cao E started cooking after entering the kitchen, cutting vegetables neatly on the chopping board.

There is no fresh meat in the countryside compared to the city, but Xie Yan likes to eat cured meat. During the Chinese New Year, he bought a pig from someone else and cured it. There are still hundreds of catties of cured meat in storage at home.

Bacon was steamed on the rice, a few eggs were beaten to make loofah egg soup, and vegetables were fried.

She moved very quickly, and the firewood in the house was full of firepower. As the rice cooked, the smell of sausage came from the pot. Lan Xi, who hadn't eaten for two days, only felt her stomach growling.

(I won’t write in detail here, I have been complained about eating too much, some people have gained weight, and some have no meat to eat in isolation, saying that I am a food crime.)

"Go wash your hands, I'll cook some vegetables."

Now that the two had just reconciled, and she had just made such a move, Cao E didn't dare to turn around to look at the woman behind her, so she could only avoid the other's hot eyes by busying herself on the stove.

"Don't worry, take your time, I've been hungry for so long, and it's not too late."

"It's not going to work." Cao E urged her with her back on her back.

Lan Xi stared at her red ears meaningfully, walked to the side of the basin to wash her hands, and started to serve the meal.

"Don't serve mine, I just finished eating."

"Eat with me, it's not good for me to eat alone."

Cao E hesitated for a moment, Lan Xi immediately raised her pitiful eyes to look at her, she immediately nodded her head.

Without the chopsticks, Cao E turned around and handed the chopsticks to Lan Xi, but the other party grabbed her hand.

"You...the food isn't ready yet."

Lan Xi thought to herself, "This hand has done a lot of work."

Hearing what she said, Cao E subconsciously withdrew her hands, her face was slightly embarrassed, because her hands were thin and slender, but covered with scissors, almost every finger was covered with scars of different sizes .

In Cao E's own eyes, this hand is still a woman's hand, so rough and ugly.

In front of the person she likes, any shortcomings make her very unconfident.

But there are more than these shortcomings on her body, Cao E felt dark in her heart.

She turned around quickly, using the vegetables to hide her embarrassing expression.

As soon as the dishes were brought to the table, Lan Xi took her hand again and said, "What are you hiding?"

Cao E struggled to pull her hand back, and said uncomfortably, "Hands...are not pretty."

Lan Xi looked at her pale face and felt very distressed. She lowered her head slightly and made a move that Cao E did not expect.

When she felt the warm lips on the back of her hand, Cao E's whole body trembled, blood surged up, and her whole face turned red.

Immediately afterwards, the nose became sour, and the eyes were swollen and about to shed tears.

"do not--"
