Bai Yi'an asked her, "Auntie, don't you rest for a while?"

"The fruits of the orchard are ripe these days, there are always a few bad people in the village, last time my cherries were stolen a lot, and now the melons in the east field are also ripe, I have to go and watch. ”

"Good. ”

"An An, you take a nap, I'll lock the door for a while, Qingyuan and I have the key, come back and open the door by yourself." ”

"Hmm. ”

......

After Aunt Dong went out, Bai Yi'an went back to her room.

Lying on the bed, she looked at her still swollen left foot and became a little irritable.

She didn't want to stay like this, she also wanted to do something for the family, but now that walking is a problem, what can she help?

I just thought about it, and I don't know when I fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

got up and walked to the yard, and saw a few clothes in the big basin next to the well for washing clothes, she looked at it, and saw that it was the one Lin Qingyuan was wearing at noon......

Did he come back?

She didn't know anything about it.

Putting her crutches aside, she slowly sat down in front of the basin.

She washed and dried the clothes that Lin Qingyuan had changed out one by one, and then entered her room with a cane in one hand and a broom in the other.

After cleaning the room, she went to sweep the main house, kitchen and yard again.

By the time she limped to clean them up, it was already half past five.

On the clothesline in the yard, the clothes that had been drying for a day were dry.

Bai Yi'an accepted them one by one, took them to his room and folded them neatly one by one.

She put her clothes in the suitcase, put the clothes of Aunt Dong and Lin Qingyuan at the end of the bed, and planned to take them out for them when they came back.

When it was almost dark, Aunt Dong came back first.

She was carrying a heavy basket in one hand and a handful of firewood in the other, Bai Yi'an immediately greeted her with a cane when she saw it, thinking about helping her carry the basket, but Aunt Dong shook her head, "It's too heavy, you can't carry it." ”

As she spoke, she threw the firewood in her hand on the ground, and then carried the basket to the well, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

She took off the straw hat on her head, and asked Bai Yi'an while fanning the wind, "Are you hungry?" I came back late today, I came back early, and when it was almost five o'clock, a melon harvester came, and I was busy until now. ”

"I'm not hungry," Bai Yi'an walked into the kitchen on crutches, and when he came out again, he had a glass of water in his hand.

She handed the water to Aunt Dong, "Auntie, you drink a glass of water first." ”

Aunt Dong stretched out her hand to take it and drank all the water in one go.

She wiped the water stains at the corner of her mouth with her hands, returned the water cup to Bai Yi'an, took a bucket of water out of the well, poured the water into the basin, washed her face briefly, and then went into the kitchen.

She lit a fire in the kitchen to cook, and Bai Yi'an sat aside to choose vegetables.

A handful of tender beans, a handful of leeks

After the food was chosen, she took it to the well and washed it.

After washing it, the water in the bucket was gone, she stood up and was about to fetch water to wash the vegetables, when Lin Qingyuan came back.

He saw Bai Yi'an standing on the edge of the well, his body swaying, his face changed in fright, and he strode over.

"I'll come. ”

He took the bucket in her hand and the rope that tied it to it, and quickly carried a bucket of water up.

He carried the water, poured it into the vegetable washing basin, then brought up a few buckets of water, filled a large bucket beside him, and then walked away. He went into the room, got a clean suit and went into the bathroom.

Bai Yi'an washed the dishes and went into the kitchen, and then sat behind the stove while watching Aunt Dong cook.

She thought that since she had decided to follow Lin Qingyuan in the future, she would follow her husband and wife, and she would also live here with him.

Since you have chosen to be a rural daughter-in-law, the most basic three meals a day should always be, right?

The little daughters-in-law in the countryside are all very capable, and Bai Yi'an doesn't want to be pointed at his backbone...... The Lin family married a lazy daughter-in-law, who knew nothing but sitting at home.

At this moment, Aunt Dong was preparing to fry leek eggs, she saw that Bai Yi'an wanted to learn, so she taught her while doing it, "First beat five eggs and put them in a big bowl, after beating them, put the cut leeks in, add a little salt and start stirring with this chopsticks, just like I stir, stir almost, pour oil into the hot pot, the more oil in the vegetables, you see these are about the same, after the oil is hot, pour the leeks and egg liquid in the bowl into it......"

When Lin Qingyuan came out of the shower, he walked to the door of the kitchen and saw such a scene.

Under the orange light of the kitchen, his mother stood in front of the stove to stir-fry, Bai Yi'an stood aside with a cane in one hand, and stared at the scrambled eggs with leeks stir-fried in the pot with a pair of eyes, without blinking his eyes.

Then he heard her ask, "How long is this going to take?"

"When it's cooked, it comes out. ”

"That'..... How do I know if it's ripe?"

Lin Qingyuan couldn't listen anymore and raised his feet to leave.

Does a young lady need to learn to cook?

Maybe she's too bored to stay here, so it's a whim, right?

......

I made three dishes for dinner, cooked rice, and a delicious rice soup.

The stewed pig's trotters at noon were not eaten and heated again, a plate of fried shredded pork with beans, a plate of leek eggs, and a plate of fried peanuts.

It was a little hot tonight, and the three of them sat under the grape trellis and ate it.

Aunt Dong asked Bai Yi'an, "Have you called your parents at home?"

"Hit," Bai Yi'an said while eating his meal, "I told them not to worry, saying that you and Brother Qingyuan treated me very well, and they asked me to thank you for them." ”

"It's just a bowl of coarse tea and light rice, what do you say thank you? You let them rest assured, and they will go back when their foot injuries are completely healed. ”

"Okay, thank you, Auntie. ”

After Bai Yi'an finished speaking, he looked at Lin Qingyuan who was sitting opposite, "Thank you, Brother Qingyuan." ”

Lin Qingyuan was eating, he raised his eyes to look at her, and his eyes were ...... It's a little complicated.

Seeing him looking at himself like this, Bai Yi'an blinked his eyes and asked softly in puzzlement, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. ”

Lin Qingyuan retracted his gaze and continued to eat.

"You don't care about him," Aunt Dong said to Bai Yi'an with a smile, "He didn't like to talk since he was a child, and he didn't know how to speak, and he still had this virtue when he grew up, otherwise he wouldn't have found a daughter-in-law at the age of thirty." ”

Bai Yi'an casually answered, "I think Brother Qingyuan's conditions are good, how can he not find a daughter-in-law?"

Before the words fell, Lin Qingyuan looked up at her again.

She met his gaze and smiled lightly, "Did I say something wrong?"

He looked at her directly, his eyes were a little incomprehensible, and just when Bai Yi'an guessed if he was angry, the other party retracted his gaze and said lightly, "I don't like women!"

In a word, shocked the two women present.

Aunt Dong was so angry that she slapped him with her hand, "You dead boy, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by not liking women?"

Bai Yi'an hurriedly comforted her, "Auntie, Brother Qingyuan is talking about playing." ”

"It's not okay to talk about playing," Aunt Dong glared at Lin Qingyuan, "I'll go to Aunt Zhang tomorrow and ask her to give you a few more blind dates." ”

As soon as Aunt Zhang was mentioned, Lin Qingyuan's head began to hurt.

Who in Linjia Village doesn't know the name of her matchmaker, she is not only famous in her village, but many people from several villages in this neighborhood have also come to her, wanting to find a good marriage for their children through her clever mouth.

Before, the family asked Aunt Zhang to give him a few kisses, these girls are all good, whether it is family background or appearance, it is reasonable, but Lin Qingyuan doesn't even want to see him.

After one or two times, Aunt Zhang got angry, and said behind her back that he only liked the girls in the city who were too tall and didn't like the countryside, and said that she would never come to the door to ask for disgust in the future.

In the end, it was Aunt Dong who personally brought the gift to the door, and said several baskets of apologies before stopping.

Since then, Lin Qingyuan has also offended Aunt Zhang, and he has always used the excuse that a man starts a business first and starts a family, so he said too much, and Aunt Dong believed it.

So it was two years.

is thirty years old this year, and I haven't even seen the shadow of my daughter-in-law, although Aunt Dong didn't say it, she was also anxious.

At this time, I heard him say that he didn't like women, and the feeling of anxiety and anxiety can be imagined, and I can't wait to marry him a wife right away.

But Lin Qingyuan had his plans in his heart, and when he heard Aunt Dong say that he was looking for Aunt Zhang again, he immediately opened his mouth, "Don't get involved, I'll find it myself." ”

As soon as she heard this, Aunt Dong became angry.

She slapped the chopsticks in her hand on the dining table, and the bang scared Bai Yi'an's heart trembling, why did they quarrel?

"The year you came back from the army, I wanted someone to introduce you to someone, but you said that you want to earn some money while you are young and then get married, so I agreed; two years ago, I thought that you were not too young, and it was time to find a girl to start a family, so I asked Aunt Zhang to introduce you to the object, and Aunt Zhang took the trouble to find it for you, and the girls on the other side were also very good, but you, I didn't even see you, so I laughed with people at my age. Aunt Dong was so angry that she raised her hand and pointed at Lin Qingyuan, "You give me a word today, can you find someone to come back before the end of the year?"

Lin Qingyuan lowered his head and sat there without saying a word.

Bai Yi'an looked at Aunt Dong, who was very angry, and then at Lin Qingyuan, who bowed his head and was silent, so anxious.

She said to Lin Qingyuan, "Brother Qingyuan, you can say something......"

Lin Qingyuan suddenly raised his head and looked at her, his eyes were cold, "What did you say?"

"I ......"

"Say I promise to find a woman back at the end of the year?"

He was aggressive and impulsive, "Do you think so?"

"No," Bai Yi'an shook his head anxiously, "I didn't mean that." ”

"And what do you mean?"

What does she mean by disappearing for seven years and suddenly running to him again?

In the face of his pressing step by step, Bai Yi'an was a little at a loss, his mind was clouded, and he opened his mouth and said, "It's really not good, I'll be your daughter-in-law!"

As soon as the words came out, the whole world fell silent.

Aunt Dong was not angry anymore, and looked at Bai Yi'an with surprise in her eyes.
