When Xin Zi and the four of them were led to the house by Du Juan's mother and daughter, Du Juan's father was sitting in the middle of the courtyard sharpening his sickle.

The man is unusually thin, but he is very tall, and it always feels a little incongruous from a distance.

It seems that although his previous blood saved the life of Du Juan's father and cured his illness, the lack of qi and blood and muscle atrophy caused by years of paralysis in bed still made him look much weaker than normal.

But the cuckoo mother and son looked at the man with no simple joy - as the head of the family, as long as he can live and stand up, it is enough to support a family spiritually and bring hope to the cuckoo mother and daughter.

Xin Zi looked at the joy and satisfaction in Du Juan's eyes when he looked at his father, and was extremely glad that he had given his blood to Du Juan earlier, and was even more surprised that his unintentional act could change the fate of three people in this way.

Cuckoo's father's surname is Zhang, and Cuckoo has very similar eyebrows and eyes, but has a long face, plus a thin body, at first glance it makes people a little intimidating, seeing Cuckoo's mother and daughter leading Xin Zi all the way into the yard, he was stunned at first, and then cracked his mouth and laughed, the smile is simple and pure, it is the kind of smile that does not treat a little impurity when the farmer treats guests.

Seeing Xin Zi approaching, he put down the sickle in his hand in a panic, stood up, and listened to Du Juan Niang introduce the identities of several people one by one, while respectfully bowing his back and saluting a few people, and then stretched out his hand to signal a few people to go in and sit.

"The place at home is small, so I can only squeeze a few grievances. Her mother didn't inform me in advance, I just heated some leftovers in the pot, thinking that her mother and mother came back to pad their stomachs, and I didn't have time to prepare. ”

The man's voice was low and slightly hoarse, and he spoke very slowly, sounding very kind, and cast a reproachful glance at the cuckoo's mother as he spoke.

The cuckoo's mother pretended to be angry and said: "This is not the cuckoo's sharp eyes, she saw the benefactor of our family from afar, so she temporarily took it over, and it took a lot of effort to move them over, where did I have the time to inform you?" After that, he glanced at the stove again, and saw that there were wisps of green smoke coming out there, and knew that there was still a fire in the stove, so he instructed the cuckoo father and daughter to greet the guests, and he turned around and said, "I'll hurry up and fry two dishes."

Seeing this, Xin Zi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mama, don't bother, we have already eaten on the road, and we have already bothered you to stay here, and it would be too bad to let you add vegetables for us." In her heart, she thought that Xing Fu was in a hurry to tell herself the important things just now, and what she needed more at this moment was a quiet and hidden place to talk to Xing Fu alone.

But where is the cuckoo family? The cuckoo mother had already entered the stove while talking, and the cuckoo father and daughter insisted on pulling Xin Zi to the hall. Xin Zi still insisted, but Li Yuan reminded her in a whisper beside her: "It's better to follow them, they are all here, and if they don't let them do their part, it will inevitably refute the face of this family and sweep away their interest." ”

Xin Zi nodded, and had to cast a helpless glance at Xing Fu, signaling that he could only wait until after dinner to find an opportunity to sit down and talk in detail.

Unexpectedly, Xing Fu was far less eager than Xin Zi, and only smiled back, looking like everything would be easy to say as long as she was not in a hurry to go to Xijing.

By the time a table of food was served one after another, it was already dark outside the courtyard, and the hall was lit up, and several people sat down around a square table.

Xin Zi looked at the past, it was all meat and vegetables, such treatment, I am afraid that it is a New Year's holiday, and this family of three has never had it, she is even more ashamed in her heart, there is a kind of cramped uneasiness without merit, and she is more attentive when chatting with Du Juan's parents about family life.

On the other hand, Du Juan and Li Yuan hit it off at first sight, without the shyness and restraint of their first acquaintance. From the moment he entered the hall, Du Juan kept looking at Li Yuan, thinking that there was such a young and handsome boy in this world, although he could dress up as a peasant like them, but he was full of nobility in his gestures, not at all like a person who could work in the fields, but like a pampered young master.

She grew up in the fields, she didn't know a single big word, and she didn't understand the rules of those big families at all, so she naturally didn't know that she should have avoided suspicion at her age, and it was inappropriate for a girl's family to stare at a teenager of the right age like this.

Li Yuan noticed the focused and blazing gaze around him, but he was not surprised at all. He has always known that he has given birth to a good skin and is deeply favored by the opposite sex, and he has always been willing to use this advantage to achieve his own goals - after all, using his mouth to deceive a little girl who does not know the world can make him get twice the result with half the effort, so why not do it.

However, at this time, in the face of Du Juan's undisguised love at the dinner table, he had nothing to do, but this family was helped by Xin Zi, and he was grateful to Xin Zi, so he naturally tried to make friends with them for Xin Zi's sake - not to mention that he didn't dislike this family of three from the bottom of his heart, and even liked their simple enthusiasm.

So he generously waited for the cuckoo to appreciate it, and then he suddenly turned his head and met the cuckoo's gaze. Seeing that his mind was suddenly seen through, the cuckoo suddenly felt that his face was hot, and it was red to the root of his ears, and he lowered his head shyly, twisted the corners of his clothes with his fingers, and kept silent.

Li Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed to a goose-yellow bead flower on her sideburns that was only the size of a fingernail, and said softly: "This bead flower is so beautiful, it is very flattering to you, the same delicate, the same liveliness and some elegance." ”

Hearing this, Du Juan's heart flew up, he had long forgotten his shyness, looked up at Li Yuan and smiled, blinked and asked, "Li Gongzi likes this flower?" After that, he lowered his eyes slightly, and said with a snickering on his face, "This is my own ...... with the old ornaments on my clothes."

"Oh? This is actually Sister Cuckoo, you made it yourself? My sister is really ingenious. Li Yuan deliberately raised his tone a little, raised two good-looking eyebrows, and looked at the cuckoo with curiosity in his eyes, as if he could speak, and saw the deer on the cuckoo's chest smashing around. He didn't know anything, and came closer to see the structure of the beaded flower on her green silk, which seemed to be unintentional, but the cuckoo could already feel his warm snort fluttering over him, and buried his head in his chest in shame.

"If Childe likes ......," said the cuckoo, reaching out to pluck the pearl flower.

Syllable!

The muffled sound of chopsticks falling on the wooden table startled everyone present to look at Takemoto.

Takemoto was shocked to realize that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly dropped a sentence of "I'm good at eating, you can use it slowly", and got up and left the table by himself. (To be continued.) )
