Early the next morning, Huo Aowu and Xu Qingshan borrowed the village chief's ox cart in the village and went out with Ruan Yiwen.

Ruan Yiwen wanted to go back to the county seat to go to school, Huo Aowu and Xu Qingshan went to the town to buy the things needed to repair the house, and sent him over by the way.

Yesterday, Ruan Dexian also said that he would help repair the house, but Huo Aowu said that they had enough manpower, so that Ruan Dexian did not have to delay the work in the crops for him.

He had a resolute attitude, Ruan Dexian had no choice but to give up, but he said that he would help make the wooden windows of the house, and sent two good logs to Huo Aowu to make beams, so that he didn't have to buy them again.

Huo Aowu should have taken it down.

Lu Caimei originally wanted to help cook, but Xu Qingshan's mother had already taken over the job.

Xu Qingshan's family is close to the Huo family, and it is indeed more convenient for the helpers to go to his house for dinner, Huo Aowu said that when Xu's mother was too busy, he would ask her to help, and Lu Caimei had no choice but to agree.

Only Ruan Yimian was allowed to go over to help.

Originally, Huo Aowu refused to let him go, but Ruan Yimian looked at him with blank eyes, looking like he was afraid that he would refuse, and Huo Aowu didn't know why, he just couldn't refuse. He nodded before he reacted, and then he wanted to regret it, seeing Ruan Yimian looking up at his little face with joy, and he was reluctant to open his mouth to disappoint him.

It's still convenient to catch the car by yourself, you don't have to wait for everyone to set off, Huo Aowu and Xu Qingshan went out in the morning and came back just after noon.

In addition to the things needed to repair the house and the ingredients used to cook for the people who helped in the past few days, he also bought two catties of meat and a chicken for the Ruan family, and bought a box of almond soufflé for Ruan Yimian.

When he came back, Ruan Yimian had just finished drinking the medicine and was drinking water and rinsing his mouth with a bitter face. He handed over the snack in his hand, and a trace of joy flashed in Ruan Yimian's eyes, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

The new prescription is not only bitterer than before, but also has a somewhat muddy smell, and it is a little nauseous to drink, Ruan Yimian drank it for the first time last night, and her face wrinkled after drinking, her eyes were full of tears, and she almost cried. Lu Caimei was distressed, but now the family has dozens of dollars left to sell cotton rouge, and she has to save it, and she can't buy candy for her son.

When Ruan Yimian drank this medicine again this morning, he learned a long lesson, and he drank it in one breath, but he almost choked in the end.

Seeing that he drooped his eyebrows after drinking the medicine, looking lifeless, Ruan Yiwen felt funny, raised his eyebrows and said, "What a person, Ruan Yimian!" Drink some medicine and look like you're going to die, Aunt Zhou's five-year-old milk dolls are better than you! ”

After Ruan Yiwen finished speaking, he was beaten hard by his mother.

Huo Aowu didn't say anything at the time, but when he went to the town, he was still thinking about it, and silently bought him almond soufflé back, Ruan Yimian was very moved.

He hurriedly opened the box and took a piece of soufflé and put it in his mouth.

I just ate a snack after drinking the medicine, and it tasted a little strange, but Ruan Yimian was still so satisfied that her eyes narrowed.

"Thank you, Brother Huo." He looked at Huo Aowu with a grateful expression.

Lu Caimei took the meat and chicken that Huo Aowu bought, she was a little embarrassed, and said angrily to Huo Aowu: "You just buy your food over there, why don't you buy us meat and snacks!" These things are precious, you just came back, there will be more places to use the money in the future, don't buy them again in the future! ”

Huo Aowu replied while packing up his things: "I have lived in your house for a few days, and I have taken Uncle Ruan's house beam, so it is also appropriate to buy some food and come back." ”

Huo Aowu has always had an idea, but Lu Caimei knew that he wouldn't listen to what he said, so he didn't say anything more. After he and Xu Qingshan drove the ox cart out again, they sighed at Ruan Yimian: "Your big brother Huo looks cold, in fact, his mind is fine, he is a person who will hurt people, and whoever marries him in the future will be blessed!" ”

Ruan Yimian blushed and lowered her head, embarrassed to eat the dim sum.

*

Xu Qingshan and Huo Aowu drove the ox cart to the foot of the mountain,

"This almond soufflé is really expensive, such a small box costs eighteen yuan, and I don't know if Ye Tao likes to eat it." The box of dim sum in Xu Qingshan's hand was exactly the same as Ruan Yimian's box.

"Didn't you know if you sent her over?" Huo Aowu held the bull rope and did not squint.

Ye Tao's family, like Xu Qingshan's family, also fled from the famine a few years ago. She grew up with Xu Qingshan's childhood sweetheart, when she was a teenager, the two secretly fell in love, and Xu Qingshan begged his mother to go to Ye Tao's house to propose.

Mother Xu went, but Ye Tao's little father disagreed, he hoped that Ye Tao could find a native of the village who had a field at home, and could live a stable life in the future.

Xu Qingshan's family has no land at home, she has no last meal, and she is as poor as her family.

Later, Xu Qingshan went to the border to join the army, and he went for four years, and Ye Tao did not marry others, and he was waiting for him.

After Xu Qingshan came back this time, he knew that Ye Tao had not yet married, so he asked someone to go to her house again to ask for marriage the next day, and this time Ye Tao's little father finally relented.

The wedding date of the two of them is set for October this year, and Xu Qingshan will get married after the autumn harvest.

Finally hugged the beauty, Xu Qingshan has been so beautiful these days that he can't find the north, today Huo Aowu bought almond soufflé for Ruan Yimian, and he also bought two boxes, preparing one box for his mother and one box for Ye Tao.

At this time, he thought of his family affairs, and he was very happy in his heart, so he hoped that his master would be like him and get married quickly.

"Hey, hey!" Xu Qingshan scratched his head, a little shy, "Master, when will you and Brother Mian'er get married?"

Huo Aowu suddenly heard this, he was stunned for a moment, his hand pulling the ox rope was a little harder, and the ox cart moved forward, startling Xu Qingshan.

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense, don't ruin Brother Mian'er's reputation."

Huo Aowu paused, and said casually: "When did I say that I was going to marry Brother Mian'er?" He is Brother Wen's younger brother, that is, my younger brother. ”

Xu Qingshan was very respectful to him on weekdays, but at this time, he sneered unceremoniously: "Heh, yes, yes, you treat people as younger brothers, and Ruan Yiwen is not as competent as your brother!" Which little brother in the village got closer to Brother Mian'er, you don't like people's eyes, and now everyone is far away from Brother Mian'er, thinking that he is your future husband, you are good, and say that he is your brother! ”

Huo Aowu was so red-faced by his "rebellious" apprentice that he didn't know how to refute for a while.

To say that he had no other thoughts about Ruan Yimian, he really didn't have any other thoughts, and he regarded others as younger brothers. Ruan Yimian is small, weak, and loves to cry, he is used to protecting him.

Those in the village who showed favor to Ruan Yimian, he didn't give people a good face, and he really felt that they wanted to eat swan meat, and they were not worthy of their Mian brothers.

Brother Mian'er is still so young! How did they have a face to stick it on?

But a dream a few days ago left a deep imprint in his heart, and now he doesn't know what to do with Ruan Yimian.

On the night he came back from the border, he had a dream in which he dreamed that he was a month or two late to return to the village of Shanliu. When she came back, Ruan Yimian was already married, and I heard that she was married to a talented person with a rich family background and complete appearance.

Obviously he should be happy for him, but Huo Aowu was depressed and couldn't accept it.

The pain and remorse in the dream still haunt Huo Aowu's heart, and after waking up from the dream, Huo Aowu changed his mind, put down the matter discussed with Wu Junhao, and returned to Shanliu Village in advance.

When he came back, he learned that Ruan Yimian was almost married, and he only quit a few days ago, and his first reaction was to be afraid and glad - fortunately, he didn't talk about it, but he quit his family.

After regaining his senses, Huo Aowu felt that he was despicable, Brother Mian'er was so good, he was looking forward to the collapse of other people's marriages.

Although he hadn't thought about it before, Huo Aowu was not a fool, after this incident, what did he not understand, he just liked Brother Mian'er.

Although he doesn't know when it started, and he doesn't know why their "brotherhood" has deteriorated, he really can't accept Brother Mian'er marrying others.

Even if he realized his intentions for Brother Mian'er, Huo Aowu knew in his heart that the Ruan family would not force Brother Mian'er, and it must be Brother Mian'er's intention for that Jiang Xiucai that would make up for this family business.

It is true that he likes Brother Mian'er, and he is not willing to force Brother Mian'er to be true, so he is now in a dilemma, he doesn't want to be abrupt, and he is reluctant to give up, so he has to defend it first.

If Brother Mian'er finds out what he thinks one day and doesn't hate him, maybe he will be able to get what he wants.

Huo Aowu kept a calm face and didn't speak, Xu Qingshan remembered in hindsight that Ruan Yimian had only quit his marriage with others not long ago, and he didn't dare to talk to his master about it anymore at this time.
