Chapter Thirty-Eight: Teased

The more she listened to them, the more doubts in Xu Cui'e's heart deepened, it stands to reason that Gu Youan has no friends in the village, and the old man has never had contact with the outside world since he returned to his hometown.

couldn't hear why, Xu Cui'e simply squatted down, stretched her neck and looked at Riba from the window.

Unfortunately, the oil lights in the house are too dim to be clear.

At this moment, Gu Chunyan's panicked voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard: "Mother! Where are you? ”

Xu Cui'e was startled, and she was a thief, for fear that Duran would come out and bump into her peeking, so she hurriedly bent down and went back to the house lightly.

"Dead Nizi, what are you yelling at, scared my mother to death." As soon as she entered her daughter's house, she began to reprimand.

"Mother, what have you done again? The daughter suddenly felt a stomachache and then looked at it...... It's menstruation. As she spoke, Gu Chunyan smiled shyly.

"Really? Then lie down and rest, and my mother will sew a menstrual bag for you. Xu Cui'e showed joy on her face, which means that her daughter has grown up and can get married, but she has to ask someone to inquire about her in-laws.

Gu Chunyan sat back on the bed with a twist, and Xu Cui'e took needlework, thread and cloth from her room, and sat on the edge of the bed to sew them.

The mother and daughter talked and talked about the affairs of their mother-in-law's family.

Gu Chunyan said shyly: "My daughter doesn't want to marry a farmer in the village. ”

"That is, my mother is not willing to let you work in the field in the future, waiting for my mother to find you a good mother-in-law."

"Hmm." Gu Chunyan nodded obediently.

After dinner, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the house, Xue Yan stood up and said goodbye to Gu You'an.

"Jingting came to pick me up, thank you Gu Gongzi for your hospitality, you boiled this medicine tonight, and I will come back to you tomorrow to diagnose your pulse."

"Thank you so much Brother Xue Yan, when I get better, I will definitely come to the door to thank you in person." Gu Youan said gratefully.

Xue Yan smiled, Gu Youan and Du Lan personally sent him out of the house, and when he was seated, the carriage quickly disappeared into the night.

Xu Cui'e heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and immediately got up to look out of the door.

Gu Chunyan immediately had an extra heart, the whole village rarely saw a carriage, this person in Gu You'an's house actually sat in a carriage, it must be a rich and noble family, if she can climb that family, she will be able to live a life of fine clothes and food in this life.

Sending Xue Yan away, Gu Youan and Du Lan went back to the house, and Old Man Gu personally boiled medicine for Gu Youan, and waited for him to drink it before returning to the house to rest with anticipation.

In the afternoon, he didn't catch fish, so Duran washed up early and went to bed.

Gu Youan drank medicine in Old Man Gu's house, and when his grandfather fell asleep, he went back to his room, and Duran had already slept in the innermost position.

He walked over softly and rolled over to bed.

Sensing his slight movement, Duran rolled over and fell asleep without opening his eyes.

Gu Youan thought that she had made a noise, so she turned her head to look, but saw that her eyes were closed, as if she was asleep.

I breathed a sigh of relief, listened to her even breathing, smelled the aroma on her body, and couldn't sleep for a long time.

Recalling that when she first entered the door two days ago, he was very disgusted with him, and after two days of contact, he found out that she was good little by little.

She took the burden of the family alone, confronted her aunt, tried to make him and her grandfather eat well, and earned money to buy him new clothes.

Over the years, except for her grandfather, only she has been good to herself.

This woman, who seems to be rude and savage, is actually kind-hearted. After living with his aunt for many years, he has been abused, and he has been enduring etiquette and filial piety, but Duran has no scruples and when he taught his aunt a lesson, he felt unprecedented happiness in his heart.

She is capable, kind, and has a sense of justice, but she refuses to be wronged.

Thinking about it, he curled the corners of his lips lightly, it was really a blessing to be able to marry Duran in this life.

He extinguished the oil lamp and slept opposite her, and this night, he slept very peacefully and deeply.

At dawn the next day, Xu Cui'e stood outside their door and yelled.

"I can't get up when I'm three poles a day, all of them are lazy, and they promise to help me work in the field! Duran, get me up! ”

Hearing Xu Cui'e's scream, Duran rolled over impatiently.

Gu Youan was also woken up by this howl, he glanced at the sky, there was indeed a lot of people outside the window, and hurriedly got up and dressed.

"What's the hurry?" Duran said lazily.

"Today I will go to harvest the wheat, and when the sun is high, the fields will be too hot."

Hearing this, Du Lan also sat up and put on her coat, she promised to help Xu Cui'e work, but she didn't want to be exposed to the sun in the field all day.

got out of bed and said to Gu Youan: "Don't go, you are weak, in case of heat stroke, you will be in trouble." ”

Gu Youan's face was stunned, "Then how can I do it, one more person has more strength." ”

Du Lan sneered when he heard this: "You better forget it, you are tired and sick from the ground, and grandpa should be distressed again." Besides, there is no more than you, and no less is not much less than you. ”

"But ......" Gu Youan looked ashamed, he was a big man, and it was not suitable to let the woman's family help him do the work.

"Don't do it, I'll have the final say. You rest at home and cook at noon. "Like an order, the tone cannot be refused.

Hearing this, Gu Youan's face flushed slightly, as if Duran was a man and he was a woman.

The two inked in the house for a while, Xu Cui'e was already impatient, and she was addicted to scolding.

"Lazy, don't you go to the fields at this time, do you have to wait until noon? I'm not afraid of the jokes of the villagers, your uncle and Laifu, as well as his daughter-in-law, went to the field early in the morning. ”

Duran didn't bother to pay attention to her, came out of the house, and glared at her fiercely, "Why don't you go yet?" ”

"I ...... I'm not waiting for you. Xu Cui'e was stunned and quickly found out the reason.

"Why didn't she go?" Duran saw Gu Chunyan combing her hair by the window in her room, so she asked out loud.

"My Chunyan is not destined to work in the fields, my Chunyan will marry a big family as a wife in the future." Xu Cui'e glanced at Duran with disdain.

Duran sneered, looked at the scythe that had already been placed in the doorway, bent down to pick it up, and walked out.

When Duran and Xu Cui'e arrived in the field, Gu Zhiping's family had almost cut an acre of land.

She followed Xu Cui'e down to the field, followed their example, bent down and grabbed the wheat stalks, cut them with a sickle, and then put the wheat into bundles.

Everyone in the field is working hard to cut wheat, including Gu Wu and Xu Cui'e, and they are also in a hurry to catch up with the hot sun.

After a while, Duran's face was dripping with sweat, she wiped her face casually with her sleeve, buried her head and continued to dry.

It wasn't until near noon, when the family told everyone to stop and go home to rest, that Duran straightened up.

Xu Cui'e deliberately looked at her, only to see that there were already high stacks of wheat straw under her feet, so she looked away.

Everyone tied up the wheat straw stacks with hemp rope, loaded them onto the cart, and the family walked home.

After coming back, Gu Youan had already prepared lunch, and the smell of green onions wafted from the yard.

Seeing Duran returning, he immediately stepped forward, "You're back!" There is already cold water in the basin, you can wash it. ”

"Hmm." Duran put down his scythe and walked over to the basin and crouched down to wash the itchy wheat.

Just now, I saw Du Lan sweating profusely and his face was flushed, and Gu You's heart was like a piece of cotton, and he was ashamed.

He hurriedly went to bring a bowl of cold white boil and handed it to Duran, who couldn't help but say, took it and drank it up in a few sips.

Gu Youan's face turned red, "It's too hot, why don't you go back to the house and rest for a while before having lunch." ”

Not to mention, she had just returned from the wheat field, and her whole body was as hot as being burned, so she nodded, went back to the house to rest, and waited until she was cooler before eating lunch, otherwise she would have no appetite for the heat.

After Gu Youan brought lunch to his grandfather, he brought another bowl of rice back to his house, and Duran was hot and kept fanning him.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll put the rice here, let's eat it when it's colder." ”

Duran sneered at him, this guy knew that he was ashamed, and he was very courteous.

Before she could rest, Xu Cui'e scolded in the yard again, "Don't think that you don't have to work when you collect the wheat, you have to unload the car, and you have to spread it in the yard to dry after unloading, we are all working, just go cool by yourself, we are all stupid, you are smart!" ”

Duran rolled his eyes at Gu Youan, and Gu Youan said, "I'll go, you eat first." ”

"Are you okay?" She looked at him suspiciously.

He smiled ashamedly: "You don't have to exert yourself, the wheat stalk is quite light." ”

In this way, Du Lan ate in the house, Gu Youan helped unload the car and spread the wheat in the yard, Xu Cui'e saw that he took the initiative to work, so she simply called all the people in her family to eat in the house, leaving him to do it alone.

This is the first time he has done so much farm work in all these years, but I don't know if he practiced that book, or Xue Yan's medicine worked, or if he was really not tired from work, he dried the wheat, and he didn't gasp as usual, but his cheeks were flushed.

Duran ate a bowl and came out to see that the wheat in the yard had been dried.

Gu Youan heard the footsteps, turned his head, and smiled lightly at her, his face full of joy of victory.

Duran deliberately pursed his lips and teased, "Yo, can you have a sense of accomplishment." ”

"Hehe......" he laughed embarrassedly.

Duran also grinned: "Finally get the land back, I can do a big job in the future." ”

When she spoke, Duran's eyes flashed with hope, Gu Youan looked at her silently, at this moment Duran was bathed in the dazzling sun, as if covered with a layer of golden light, and her crystal clear eyes were like jewels, shining brightly.

In this way, Du Lan, who was full of confidence, was like a fairy who came down to save Gu Youan, which made Gu Youan's heart tremble suddenly, and he didn't take his eyes off for a long time.

"Look at what? Do I have cabbage leaves on my face? She looked over.

"It's not." He suddenly came back to his senses and nodded shyly, "You...... What are your plans for the future? ”

"Huh?" She was stunned.

"You said it's a big deal."

Duran smiled and hooked his finger at him mysteriously: "You come here, I'll tell you quietly." ”

Gu You'an was intrigued by her cute appearance of thieves, and walked up to him, and Duran asked him to listen.

He leaned down obediently and put his ear to Duran's mouth.

"Wave!" Suddenly, Duran actually kissed him on the side of the cheek.

Gu Youan's face suddenly turned like a red apple, he hurriedly raised his head, but saw Du Lan with a wicked smile on his face, obviously, he was teased by her.
