After dinner, Lin Qingyuan entered the side room where the farm tools were placed, and when he came out again, he was carrying a machete in his hand.

It happened that Aunt Dong came out to pour water, and when she saw him walking out with a machete in her hand, she asked, "Qingyuan, what are you doing?"

Lin Qingyuan didn't listen to his footsteps, and he didn't turn his head, "Go to the back mountain and cut a tree branch and come back." “

"What are you chopping branches for?"

"Make her a cane, so you don't have to help her back and forth. ”

After speaking, Lin Qingyuan strode out of the door.

Looking at her son who strode out, Aunt Dong sighed silently in her heart, this bear child doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all, she thinks she is too tired to help, why don't you take the initiative to help it?

No wonder I can't find a daughter-in-law after I'm thirty, with this unlikable character, I'm afraid I'm going to be a bachelor in this life.

Behind the house is the mountain, and after entering the mountain, Lin Qingyuan picked a branch that was no thicker than his forearm and cut it down, he skillfully cut off the extra branches of the branch, and dragged it home.

When he got home, he put the branch in the yard, then went into the side house, chose a small machete, and then polished the uneven part of the branch very evenly, and finally asked his mother to wrap a circle of cotton cloth around the top of the cane, so that it would not hurt his hands.

While he was doing this, Bai Yi'an was already asleep in the room.

After a morning of traveling, her feet hurt badly, and with the fragrance of chrysanthemums between the pillows, she fell asleep after a while.

When she woke up, the sun had turned west outside the window blocked by the curtain.

She was a little anxious to urinate, and immediately turned over and sat up, forgetting that there was a wound on her foot, and her teeth were in pain on the spot.

After sniffing it, she slowly lifted her legs and got out of bed, looking down to see a pair of slippers next to the bed.

The slippers are handmade, with cow tendon soles, cotton uppers, and dense stitches, which are made by Mrs. Dong herself.

Bai Yi'an slowly put her foot on, and was about to jump out with one leg, when she looked up, she saw a wooden stick similar to a cane placed at the door of the room, she hurriedly jumped over with one foot, took it in her hand and tried it...... Hey, it's pretty easy to use.

So, she walked slowly out of the room with a crutch in one hand.

There seems to be no one at home, the courtyard door is closed, and Aunt Dong and Lin Qingyuan don't seem to be at home.

With his memory, Bai Yi'an found the toilet.

The toilet was still clean, she solved her physiological needs, and walked out on crutches.

At this moment, the sun is not as hot as noon, and it is okay anyway, Bai Yi'an took out her mobile phone from the room, and then sat on the small bench in the courtyard and sent a message to An Suya, saying that she had arrived here, everything was fine, and asked her not to worry.

An Suya quickly sent her a message back, telling her to take care of her body.

Bai Yi'an didn't reply to the message, but deleted his WeChat friends and logged out several social software.

Now she just wants to jump out of the circle of her previous life and start over.

Looking at the time on my phone, it was almost five o'clock.

She got up and entered the room on crutches.

The suitcase was still on the side, and the contents had not been packed yet.

opened the suitcase, put the clothes in order, took out his toiletries and skin care products and put them on the table next to him, and finally looked at the watch and jade bracelet placed in the corner of the box, Bai Yi'an hesitated to take them out?

Now take it out and give it to them, Lin Qingyuan and Aunt Dong not only won't ask for it, but they will probably be suspicious of her.

Who gives away something so valuable for no reason?

Even if it is used as a thank you gift, this gift is too expensive.

At this moment, Bai Yi'an suddenly regretted that she didn't think about it when she was shopping, she should buy some small gifts, so that they wouldn't suspect it when she gave it away.

After thinking about it, Bai Yi'an stuffed the box and jade bracelet containing the watch under the box, then closed the suitcase and put it aside.

After finishing this, it was already half past five, and Bai Yi'an was thinking that Lin Qingyuan and Aunt Dong hadn't come back yet, when he heard the sound of the courtyard door being opened.

She hurriedly walked out on crutches, and as soon as she went out, she saw Aunt Dong walking in with a vegetable basket on her arm.

She opened her mouth and called her, "Auntie." ”

Aunt Dong looked up at her and asked with a smile, "An An, are you awake?"

"Well," Bai Yi'an smiled embarrassedly, she looked at the vegetable basket on Aunt Dong's arm, and walked over on crutches, "You went to the vegetable garden?"

Aunt Dong, "The vegetables in the garden grow too fast, and you have to pick some back every day, otherwise you will be old." ”

As she spoke, she walked to the well with the basket on her shoulder, put it aside, and then turned and went into the kitchen.

She drank a glass of water in the kitchen, and when she came out again, she saw Bai Yi'an already sitting on a small stool next to the well, with her cane on the side, and she was helping her choose beans.

Aunt Dong was amused when she saw it, and walked over with a bench in her hand, "Will you choose a dish?"

Bai Yi'an nodded while choosing beans, "Hmm." ”

Aunt Dong sat down beside her, and asked her while choosing beans, "How many rings is your home in the city?"

"On the edge of the Fourth Ring. ”

"The housing prices in the Fourth Ring Road are not low, they have to be tens of thousands of square meters, right?"

Bai Yi'an smiled, "Yes, the house price is ridiculously expensive now." ”

"No," Aunt Dong sighed with emotion, "Those houses in the urban area, we ordinary people can't afford them for a lifetime." ”

Bai Yi'an looked at her, "Auntie, do you want to live in the city?"

Aunt Dong immediately shook her head, "I don't want to, how can I live comfortably in those big cities, the house outside is built like an iron box, and it is so high, will I feel dizzy if I live on it?"

"If you're afraid of heights, you feel that way. ”

"And I've heard that your neighbors don't know each other?"

Bai Yi'an, "Well, I don't know." ”

"Then you don't usually say hello when you meet it?"

"After a long time, I will say hello when I am ripe. ”

"You don't usually go to the door to chat and talk or anything?"

"Not really. ”

"Ouch, why did you live that day, you were bored in your own home all day long, and you couldn't get sick from it?"

Bai Yi'an smiled and didn't speak.

Aunt Dong said to herself, "You say that the people in the city have a comfortable life for us rural people? Look at my family, I usually eat my own food, and the water I drink is spring water flowing down from the mountains, and I have to kill New Year's pigs every New Year, and the pigs are fed by myself, and the pork is fragrant, which is different from what is sold outside, and I usually want to eat fish, so I go to the river in front of me to get a fishing net and scatter it in the river, and then harvest it, it is a dish of vegetables......

Bai Yi'an's eyes lit up when he heard this, "There are still fish in the river?"

"Of course there is, there are many, Qingyuan liked to eat small fish in the river when he was a child, and his father often called him to eat. ”

Although Bai Yi'an knew that Lin Qingyuan's father had been dead for many years, he still pretended to ask casually, "Auntie, where did my uncle go?"

Aunt Dong sighed, "It's gone, it's been three years." ”

Bai Yi'an knew that 'gone' meant to die.

"Sorry auntie......"

"It's okay," Aunt Dong waved her hand, "It's all over." ”

Neither of them spoke again, and was silent for a moment, and Aunt Dong asked Bai Yi'an, "Do you want to eat fish?" The pickled food at home is almost good the day before yesterday, I will make it for you to taste in a while, you must not have eaten it." ”

Preserved fish, Bai Yi'an has eaten it.

In her previous life, Aunt Dong made it for her once, and it was delicious.

She nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I like fish the most." ”

"Do you like to eat fish?" Aunt Dong immediately said, "That's easy to do, tomorrow let Qingyuan take the fishing net to the river to pocket small fish for you, now the small fish in the river are delicious, very fresh, wrapped in batter and fried in vegetable oil and crispy, one bite at a time." “

Bai Yi'an, "Auntie, I'm about to drool when you say it." ”

Aunt Dong smiled happily.

After choosing the dishes and washing them, Aunt Dong went to the kitchen to cook.

Bai Yi'an was bored, so he followed into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, there is an earthen stove with firewood for cooking, and a stool is placed behind the stove, and all kinds of dry wood of different thicknesses are neatly placed next to the stool, as well as dried leaves that start the fire.

Aunt Dong burned the fire and steamed rice, and Bai Yi'an watched from the side, feeling that everything in front of her was fresh.

The fire was cooked, the rice was steamed, and Aunt Dong began to chop vegetables.

Bai Yi'an sat on the bench behind the stove, looking at the raging firewood in the earthen stove, she had a little itchy hands, so she took a dry firewood and put it in like Aunt Dong just now.

As soon as the wood entered, it was lit and burned.

Bai Yi'an was happy, took another piece of firewood and put it in.

When Aunt Dong saw it, she smiled and said, "Don't put too much, be careful to cook the rice." ”

Bai Yi'an stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, and then obediently sat behind the stove to watch Aunt Dong cook.

One stovetop cooks rice and one cooktop stir-fries.

After a while, the whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of food.

After the preserved fish was cooked, seeing that Bai Yi'an was so hungry that she was about to drool, Aunt Dong turned around and took out a small bowl from the cupboard, put a piece of fish in the bowl, and then handed it to her with the chopsticks in her hand, "Taste it." ”

Bai Yi'an immediately reached out and took it, took the chopsticks and tasted it, and immediately nodded while eating, "It's delicious." ”

Aunt Dong smiled happily, "This fish has spines, don't eat it too fast, don't let the fish bones get stuck in your throat." ”

"Uh-huh. ”

......

When Lin Qingyuan came back, it was dark outside.

He did a brief wash by the well and went into the kitchen.

Bai Yi'an sat behind the stove and lit the fire, and when he saw him come in, he looked up, just as Lin Qingyuan raised his eyes to look at her, the eyes of the two collided, Bai Yi'an immediately grinned at him, but the other party glanced at her lightly and quickly looked away.

When Aunt Dong saw him come in, she said to him, "Qingyuan, move the dining table in the courtyard to the main house, it's a little cold tonight, so you have to eat in the house." ”

Lin Qingyuan walked to the side and drank a glass of warm water, without saying a word, turned around and walked out.

He first moved the dining table into the main room next to him, then went into the kitchen, opened the cupboard, took three pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and walked out again.

Putting out the last dish of green vegetable and tofu soup in the pot, Aunt Dong said to Bai Yi'an, "An An, you go to the main house first." ”

Bai Yi'an responded, reached out to take the crutches, limped out of the kitchen, and walked towards the main house.

When she entered the main house, she had to go up the stairs, and she couldn't use her left foot, so it was very difficult to get up.

Lin Qingyuan came out of the main house, passed by her, glanced at her, didn't care about her, raised his feet and went to the kitchen.

Bai Yi'an, "......"

Do you want to be so indifferent?
