Bai Yian asked her, "Auntie, don't you rest for a while?"

"The fruits in the orchard have been ripe these days. There are always a few bad-hearted people in the village. Last time, my cherries were stolen. Now the melons on the land in the east are ripe, so I have to go and watch them."

"good."

"An An, you take a nap for a while, I lock the door later. Qingyuan and I have the keys. When I come back, I open the door myself."

"Um."

......

After Aunt Dong left, Bai Yian went back to her room.

Lying on the bed, she looked at her swollen left foot and became a little irritated.

She didn't want to stay there like this, she also wanted to do something for her family, but now walking is a problem, so what can she help?

I just thought about it, but I don’t know when I fell asleep.

I woke up and it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

When she got up and walked into the yard, she saw a few clothes in the large basin of washing clothes next to the well. She looked at it and saw that it was Lin Qingyuan wearing the same outfit at noon...

Has he been back?

Why doesn't she know at all?

Putting the crutch aside, she slowly sat down in front of the basin.

She washed Lin Qingyuan's changed clothes one by one and dried them, then walked into her room with a crutch in one hand and held a broom in the other.

After cleaning the room, she went to the main house, kitchen and yard again.

After she limped and cleaned these things, it was already half past five.

The clothes drying for the whole day were dry on the clothesline in the yard.

Bai Yian took it one by one and took it to his room and folded it neatly.

She put her clothes into the trunk, placed Aunt Dong and Lin Qingyuan's clothes at the end of the bed, and planned to take them out when they came back.

When it was almost dark, Aunt Dong came back first.

She was holding a heavy basket in one hand and holding a handful of firewood in the other hand. When Bai Yian saw it, she immediately went up with a crutch and wanted to help her carry the basket. Aunt Dong shook her head, "It's too heavy, you can't carry it."

As she said that, she threw the firewood in her hand on the ground and then carried the basket to the edge of the well, then breathed a sigh of relief.

She took off the straw hat on her head, slapped the wind and asked Bai Yian, "Are you hungry? I came back late today. I had already come back. At almost five o'clock, a melon collector came. I've been busy until now."

"I'm not hungry," Bai Yian entered the kitchen with a cane. When he came out again, he held a glass of water in his hand.

She handed the water to Aunt Dong, "Auntie, you have a glass of water first."

Aunt Dong reached out to take it and drank all the water in one breath.

She wiped the water stains on the corner of her mouth with her hands, returned the water cup to Bai Yian, took a bucket of water out of the well, poured the water into a basin, washed her face briefly, and then went into the kitchen.

She made a fire in the kitchen to cook, and Bai Yian sat aside to choose vegetables.

A handful of tender beans and a handful of leeks

After the dishes were selected, she took them to the well to wash them.

After washing it, the water in the bucket was gone. She stood up and was about to get water to wash vegetables. Lin Qingyuan was back.

When he saw Bai Yian standing by the well, his body was shaking, his face changed and he strode over.

"I'll do it."

He took the bucket in her hand and the rope tied to the bucket, and quickly carried a bucket of water up.

He carried the water, poured the water into the wash basin, then carried a few more buckets of water, filled a large bucket beside him, and then walked away.

He entered the room, took a clean dress and entered the bathroom.

Bai Yian washed the dishes and went into the kitchen, then sat behind the stove while burning the fire while watching Aunt Dong cook.

She thought that since she decided to follow Lin Qingyuan in the future, she would follow him and live here with her husband and wife.

Since you have chosen to be a rural daughter-in-law, you should always have three meals a day?

The young wives in the countryside are all very capable. Bai Yian doesn’t want to be pointed at the back and said... The Lin family married a lazy wife who was not good at eating and doing nothing except sitting at home.

At this moment, Aunt Dong was preparing to stir-fry leeks and eggs. When she saw Bai Yian wanted to learn, she taught her while making, "Beat five eggs first and put them in a large bowl. After beating them, put the cut leeks in, add some salt and start stirring them with these chopsticks. Just like I did, stir it like this, so I poured oil into the pan. The more oil the vegetables should be, you see, it's almost done. After the oil is hot, pour the leeks and egg liquid in the bowl..."

After Lin Qingyuan took a shower, he walked to the kitchen door and saw this scene.

Under the orange light in the kitchen, his mother was standing in front of the stove to cook. Bai Yian stood by with a cane in one hand, staring at the fried leeks and eggs stir-fried in the pot without blinking.

Then he heard her ask, "How long will it take to fry?"

“It can be served when cooked.”

"Then...how do I know if it's ripe?"

Lin Qingyuan couldn't stand it anymore and walked away.

Does a daughter need to learn how to cook?

Maybe it was because she was too bored to stay here, so she became a whim?

......

I cooked three dishes for dinner, cooked rice, and had a very delicious rice soup.

The pork trotters stewed at noon were hot again before they finished eating them. A plate of fried pork with beans, a plate of leeks and eggs, and a plate of fried peanuts.

It was a little hot tonight, and the three of them sat under the grape trellis to eat.

Aunt Dong asked Bai Yian, "Have you called your parents at home?"

"I've been fighting," Bai Yian said while eating, "I told them not to worry, saying that you and Brother Qingyuan treat me well, and they asked me to thank you for them."

"It's just a bowl of simple rice. What are you saying thank you? Rest assured and go back when your foot injury is completely cured."

"Okay, thank you aunt."

After Bai Yian finished speaking, he looked at Lin Qingyuan sitting opposite him again, "Thank you Brother Qingyuan."

Lin Qingyuan's meal was done with a meal, and he looked up at her, his eyes...a little complicated.

Seeing him looking at him like this, Bai Yian blinked and asked softly in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Lin Qingyuan withdrew his gaze and continued to eat.

"Don't worry about him," said Aunt Dong with a smile to Bai Yian. "He has never liked to talk since he was a child, nor did he know how to speak very much. He still has this kind of virtue when he grew up, otherwise he would not have been able to find a wife at the age of 30."

Bai Yian casually replied, "I think Brother Qingyuan has good conditions, so why can't he find a wife?"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Qingyuan looked up at her again.

She met the sight he looked at and smiled softly, "Am I wrong?"

He looked at her straight, his eyes were a little unrecognizable. Just as Bai Yian was wondering if he was angry, the other party withdrew his gaze and said lightly, "I don't like women!"

One sentence shocked the two women present.

Aunt Dong was so angry that she beat him with her hands, "You dead child, what are you talking about? What does it mean to not like women?"

Bai Yian quickly comforted her, "Auntie, Brother Qingyuan is just talking and having fun."

"It's not okay to talk about it," Aunt Dong stared at Lin Qingyuan, "I'll go find Aunt Zhang tomorrow and ask her to arrange a few more blind dates for you."

Whenever Lin Qingyuan mentioned Aunt Zhang, he started to feel pain.

Who doesn’t know about Linjia Village’s name? She is not only famous in the village, but many people from several nearby villages have also come to find her, hoping to find a good marriage for her children through her clever mouth.

Before, my family asked Aunt Zhang to have a few kisses for him. These girls are good, both in terms of family background and appearance, but Lin Qingyuan didn't even want to see him.

After one or two times, Aunt Zhang got angry and said in secret that he saw that he only liked the girls in the city who were not good at the countryside, and said that she would never come to the house again to be offensive.

In the end, Aunt Dong personally brought the gift to the door, said several times, and then stopped.

Since then, Lin Qingyuan has offended Aunt Zhang, and he has always used the excuse of men starting a career and starting a family as an excuse. After saying too much, Aunt Dong believed it.

So it took two years to go.

I am already thirty this year, and I haven't even seen my daughter-in-law. Although Aunt Dong didn't say anything, she was anxious.

Now I heard him say he didn't like women. The uneasy and anxious mood was conceivable. I wish I could marry him a wife immediately.

But Lin Qingyuan had his plans in his mind. When he heard Aunt Dong say he was looking for Aunt Zhang again, he immediately spoke, "Don't get involved, I'll find it myself."

As soon as he heard this, Aunt Dong became angry.

She slapped the chopsticks in her hand on the dining table, and Bai Yian's heart was trembling with a bang. Why did it start to make a noise?

"I wanted someone to introduce you to a partner when you came back from the army, but you said you wanted to make some money before getting married while you were young, so I agreed. Two years ago, I thought that you were not young anymore and it was time to find a girl to get married, so I asked Aunt Zhang to introduce you to her. Aunt Zhang had tried his best to find you, and the other girl was also very good, but you didn't even see me, which made me laugh and revenge me at the age of the others." Aunt Dong was so angry that she raised her hand and pointed at Lin Qingyuan, "You give me an accurate statement today. Can you find a partner before the end of the year?"

Lin Qingyuan lowered his head and sat there without saying a word.

Bai Yian looked at Aunt Dong who was very angry, and then looked at Lin Qingyuan who lowered his head and said nothing, and was extremely anxious.
