The next day, He Mai and Yang Liulang were doing their own work at home, and the two of them didn't talk as much as they said last night.

He Mai also deliberately avoided Yang Liulang, he was working outside to build a kennel, and she folded clothes in the house.

Yang Liulang was outside the yard, and she hurriedly went to the well to scrub the dishes and chopsticks.

At the end of the day, there was some silence between the two.

He Mai couldn't say why he treated Yang Liulang like this, maybe he felt that Yang Liulang was too good to her, and if such a good thing was maintained, it would become a debt that she couldn't afford to repay. If she distances herself a little further, it will make her feel better.

But when she did this today, she felt weird, not at all as comfortable as talking and laughing with Yang Liulang on weekdays.

And Yang Liulang also seemed to be aware of Hemai's deliberate alienation, but he didn't take the initiative to find a problem.

It wasn't until the evening that Yang Liulang took out the remaining prey from the stove room and said, "When I go back tomorrow, will these things be a little shabby?" ”

He Mai looked back and saw that he was carrying a chicken and a skinned rabbit in his hands, and was looking at himself intently.

She hurriedly replied, "It's not shabby, it's already good." ”

Yang Liulang thought for a moment and said, "I remember that there are still some pickled dried fish at home, let's bring them with us tomorrow." ”

"Okay," He Mai thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Don't bother thinking about these anymore, these things are already very face-saving to bring back." ”

Xiaoqing Village is already poor and difficult, every household is facing the loess with their backs to the sky, pointing to the grain in the field to live, barely enough to eat, every year I am afraid that only in the autumn harvest and the New Year can eat a meal of meat, how dare you eat chickens and rabbits in ordinary times?

This kind of return gift is already very rich.

What's more, the Qin clan is not a person who cares about etiquette.

Hearing He Mai say this, Yang Liulang nodded, "Okay, then tomorrow morning, we will go back." ”

He Mai nodded in response, and saw Yang Liulang go out with his things.

When they went to bed that night, the two didn't talk and chat like a few days ago, Yang Liulang finished fetching water for He Mai, washed his hands and face, and hurriedly made the bed, lay down and never spoke again.

He Mai regretted a little in her heart, what she did seemed to have backfired.

originally thought that Yang Liulang should not take care of himself like before, but at the moment, Yang Liulang, who should be taken care of, is not bad at all, but the atmosphere between the two is as silent as stagnant water, embarrassing.

She sighed secretly, closed her eyes under the covers, and was full of sorrow.

This sleep with his head covered and slept until dawn, and Yang Liulang woke up He Mai.

He Mai hurriedly dressed and went to the ground with a red face, the washing water had been prepared, He Mai felt even more ashamed, and made two additional side dishes very carefully when cooking breakfast.

After eating, Xiao Hei's food and water were ready, and they were placed in front of the kennel, Yang Liulang carried a chicken in one hand, a rabbit in the other, and He Mai held a string full of pickled dried fish, and the two walked on the way back to the village.

The road back to the village was half a mile, and both of them were fast-footed, but on the road, it was as if they had made an appointment, and they walked slowly tacitly.

He Mai glanced at the generous back walking in front, fell into deep thought, and when he arrived at the Qin family for a while, the two of them still didn't say a word all day long, but how could it be good? I'm afraid it's not easy to explain to the Qin family, and the Qin family has to worry.

But how can I tell Yang Liulang that the two of them can release their previous suspicions?

The problem is not with Yang Liulang, it is because she wants to distance herself from Yang Liulang and wants people not to be so good to her.

How hypocritical! He Mai scolded himself.

After walking for a while, seeing that this section of the road was Qin's small hut, He Mai stubbornly opened his mouth: "Hey, that ......"

"When we get to grandma's house in a while, you and I still show some affection." The one who spoke first was Yang Liulang, who was silently walking in front.

Yang Liulang didn't know when he stopped, waited for He Mai to follow, and stared at her, "If her old man sees us so estranged, I'm afraid she will scold me, my grandson-in-law." ”

"You should help me, at my grandmother's house for a while, please give me some face, and talk to me a few more words." Yang Liulang looked at He Mai seriously and said gently.

He Mai didn't expect Yang Liulang to take these into account, and first she said something to ease the relationship.

Her pretty face was red and embarrassed, and she said with shame: "I should have said this to you, you...... There's nothing wrong with it, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. ”

Yang Liulang smiled, "What's so good, how can you say it?" I'll be at my grandmother's house for a while, but don't show my clues. ”

"Okay, I know." He Mai hurriedly said, glanced at Yang Liulang's gentle expression, felt guilty again, and whispered again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm going to ...... I'll be nicer to you. ”

Yang Liulang didn't refuse this, looked at He Mai sideways, and smiled, "Okay." ”

Just when he could see the small hut a few steps away, Yang Liulang stopped again.

"Wait." He shouted to stop.

"What's wrong? He Mai raised his eyes to look at Yang Liulang.

Seeing that, Yang Liulang changed the rabbit in his right hand to his left hand, grabbed it in his left hand with the chicken, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Hemai's empty left hand in the palm of his hand, and smiled at her: "I just want to go back like this, grandma and her old man should be happier." Do you mind? ”

The two of them clasped hands, and the thick and rough big grasped her, giving her infinite warmth and heat.

He Mai only felt that the left hand held by Yang Liulang was like a piece of burning charcoal, the fiery temperature quickly spread throughout her body, her face was hot, and she lowered her head like a gnat and replied: "No, I don't mind......"

"Well, let's go."

Yang Liulang took He Mai and walked towards the small thatched hut with a generous attitude.

When the Qin family, who was standing at the door and looking at this side, saw the little couple holding hands come back together, the smile on his face was about to pile up a flower.

Yang Liulang smiled and whispered to He Mai: "Grandma is really happy. ”

Seeing Qin's smile, He Mai's heart also relaxed a lot.

I didn't see the Qin clan for three days, and the worry in my heart dissipated a lot at this moment.

"Liulang, Hemai, you're back!" Qin Shi's kind face smiled, "Come into the house, grandma has made tea for you, come into the house." ”

"Milk, how are you at home these days? Are you still used to it? When He Mai entered the courtyard gate, he took Qin's hand and asked non-stop, and hurriedly looked at the water tank and rice tank in the stove room, as well as the firewood in the firewood room, and saw that there were still many leftovers.

"Okay, I'm an old woman, why can't I live? But the two of you, Hemai, are you still used to it? ”

Facing Qin's inquiring and concerned eyes, Hemai's heart warmed, and he replied softly: "Milk, Liulang is very good to me, very good, really good." ”

No matter how big or small, Rokuro takes care of it, which is the truth.
