Chapter 8: The Return Trip

The two walked back wordlessly, Ah Han was still carrying a bamboo basket on his back, empty and fluttering, but he felt that he couldn't walk like hard iron on his heels.

He was thinking that Lady Yue would definitely not stay in the Liu family for long after knowing their family's dirty thoughts.

In fact, Mrs. Yue is thinking about this question at the moment.

I am alone, I don't know where I come from, I don't know where I want to go, and I won't stay in Ah Han's house for too long, but it's not just as simple as adding a pair of dishes and chopsticks as Liu Li said.

It's troublesome.

No small hassle.

And this trouble is already manifesting itself today, and it is moving in an unpredictable direction.

Ah Han is a good person.

Liu Li is also a good one.

She could see that Liu Li treated herself as her own daughter-in-law, and since she knew it, she shouldn't be entangled like this.

Hurt others and hurt oneself.

Besides, she was rescued from the mass grave by Ah Han, which means that someone wanted to kill her, no matter what the reason, no matter who did it.

Since Ah Han rescued her, he was on the opposite side of those people.

She couldn't pull them down, so she had to stay away from them.

The farther away the better.

Ah Han naturally didn't know what Yue Niangzi was thinking at the moment, he only knew that Yue Niangzi was afraid that she was going to look down on their old Liu family.

“…… Why don't you go shopping over there? Ah Han raised his hand and pointed to the fork in the street.

It was a place that sold some of the women's things, and I used to go there when I came to town with my mother. This is almost the nature of a woman's family, but today I changed to a Yue lady...... He really couldn't be sure.

Yue Niangzi looked in the direction pointed by Ah Han, it was lively, there were many young daughters, she roughly knew the role of that place, and she also knew Ah Han's awkward thoughts at this moment.

"Okay, let's go and see." She pursed her lips and smiled, "You'll have to be prepared to break the bank." ”

Ah Han originally thought that Mrs. Yue would make a girl's temper, just like his distant cousin, and he would not let go after provoking her.

But now that I hear Yue Niangzi's direct and clear expression, I will break the bank...... And he was overjoyed.

It wasn't quite as good as the jewelry shops in town, but it was a great variety and affordable. Yue Niangzi picked out some woodcarved hairpin earrings, because the carver is generous and clear, these gadgets also look delicate and generous.

Ah Han happily paid behind him, and his mouth couldn't close.

This is a bitter man who came out of the woman's house, was stared at and pinched by his own woman, and said in his mouth, "Look at the men of other people's families, and they look happy and flattered to buy this and that for their mother." ”

……

……

The sun began to set in the west, and the thin light cast dappled shadows on the ground through the branches.

Although it was a sunny day, it was still very cold as evening approached. Ah Han walked a long way with the basket on his back, but he still couldn't stop shrinking his shoulders.

There were some miscellaneous things in the back basket, no less than when he came, Ah Han lifted the basket and moved his gaze to the front.

Yue Niangzi walked faster, jumping and jumping looked leisurely and comfortable, and the pigtails that were tied up early also jumped with the movements.

Ah Han exhaled and tilted his head to stare for a long time.

He was a fool, and wise people knew how to stay away from him, or get some unexpected advantage from him.

Pull out a few more vegetables, get a few more catties of meat and so on.

Actually, he knew, always along. But he didn't say it either, thinking it didn't matter if it wasn't interesting.

When the people saw that he was a bully, they took him for a fool.

In fact......

He tilted his head and lifted the basket again.

——

He's not stupid at all!

His mother didn't think he was stupid, and neither did his father, and he looked at the little girl in front of him again.

So is Yue Niangzi.

He wasn't stupid at all, and then nodded happily and strode forward.

It was much easier to take the boat on the way back, and they came back late and happened to be staggered by those people.

The old man wiped his mouth and knocked his long pipe to the bow of the boat a few times, and only after knocking did he unhurriedly lift the bamboo pole.

Seeing the old man's leisurely posture and demeanor, she couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"Little girl, where did you come from, where are you going?" He propped the pole into the water quickly and lightly.

This man speaks interestingly.

Yue Niangzi raised her eyebrows.

Ah Han hesitated for a moment, originally wanted to answer for Yue Niangzi, she was a delicate woman who was asked like this by an outsider, she would be embarrassed after all.

"Now that I'm on the ship, I'm naturally coming from that side." Yue Niangzi replied with a smile.

Over there, on which side?

Where, where?

Ah Han scratched his head.

The old man who was holding the boat was also stunned, he originally wanted to ask where the lady came from, but unexpectedly, the lady gave him such an answer.

From shore to shore over there, no.

He took off his felt hat, laughed a few times, and bowed his head again, "At such a young age, it is amazing to be so transparent." ”

Yue Niangzi nodded.

"Not really." She continued.

The old man laughed again, and Ah Han laughed too, although he didn't know the reason why they were laughing, but he couldn't help it, and he laughed more and more.

……

……

Ah Han lives in the westernmost part of the village, behind a few houses is a forest, the mountains here are not too high, but the water flows a lot, and finally merges into the big river at the east end of the village.

Yue Niangzi leaned on the shelf of drying herbs at the back of the house, it was noon at the moment, the sun in spring was not as good as summer, but it was still warm and sleepy.

Liu Laohan went to the ground with Ah Han, Liu Li took a basin of clothes and went to the small stream on the other side of the house to wash, she also wanted to go, but was stopped by Liu Li, saying that she was asked to stay at home to dry medicinal herbs.

What is there to do with this herb?

She stretched out her hand and turned over the thick roots, she didn't know, this was just an excuse for Liu Li to not let her help at will.

There was a knock at the door.

Yue Niangzi turned around, and the door was not closed, usually when someone came to the door, there would always be a few shouts, but there were few people who knocked on the door without making a sound.

“…… Wait, it's coming, it's coming. Yue Niangzi patted her sleeves and walked out of the backyard.

A few old hens spread their wings and nested on the corner of the wall to bask in the sun, and the lady passed by there, and they did not mean to be disturbed.

There was a girl sitting in the courtyard.

Yue Niangzi walked over.

The girl noticed the footsteps behind her, and quickly turned around, looking embarrassed.

“…… Spring joy. "Lady Yue recognized the girl.

Chunxi nodded shyly, his hands tightly tugged at the hem of his clothes on both sides, his lips opened and closed, but he didn't make a sound.
