These stone tables and stone pillars were specially made by craftsmen hired by Shu Changyu. He often sat under the trees to drink tea or enjoy the cool air.

No one else is allowed to sit there except family members.

The reason is that Shu Changyu thinks outsiders are sloppy.

This plot also appeared in the novel, and at that time, it seemed to him that the character of the heroine seemed a little broken.

The thing is, Shu Changyu spent several months carefully selecting stones and asked craftsmen to build a set of stone tables and stone piers.

One day, someone from the village came to visit his house. When no one was paying attention, he picked out his nose and wiped it on the edge of the table. Coincidentally, he was caught by Shu Changyu.

The novel describes that Shu Changyu was so angry that his face turned blue and he smashed the table to pieces on the spot. The man was so scared that he ran away.

After that, Shu Changyu spent several months hiring someone to build a new set, and repeatedly emphasized that outsiders were not allowed to sit on the stone pier.

The Shu family spoiled him, so naturally, whatever he said was what it came down to.

But he is just a cannon fodder, how can he be compared with the heroine's family?

Song Yan was very suspicious that the plot had collapsed, so he gritted his teeth and sat down, holding the puppy on his knees.

I couldn't help but secretly glance at Shu Changyu.

Shu Changyu sat down next to him, noticed his prying eyes, and looked back: "What's the matter?"

Song Yan's ears turned slightly red. She felt guilty for being caught peeking, so she quickly avoided his sight.

Shu Changyu unconsciously looked at his slightly red ears, once, and then again.

The ear that was facing him had a clear outline and a round earlobe, which reminded him of the shells he picked up on the river beach when he was a child, so delicate and cute.

Until Mrs. Wu found the oil paper bag in his hand: "Changyu, what are you holding?"

Shu Changyu then slowly withdrew his gaze and casually placed the oil paper bag on the table: "Food."

Several people simultaneously stared at the oil paper bag on the table. Could it be pork jerky again?

But unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the case.

Only the He Fang couple guessed what was inside, after all, they also received the same letter.

Mrs. Wu looked at his expression and seeing that he did not try to stop her, she went to open the oil-paper bag.

"Hey, what is this?"

Song Yan took the trouble to explain the homely method of making fried tofu.

Mrs. Wu and Li Xiulan both listened carefully.

Finally, Li Xiulan smiled and said, "When it comes to eating, Xiao Song knows more. I'll ask you for advice when I have some free time someday."

"Once I learn a few tricks, I might even be able to work as a cook in a wealthy family in the future."

Song Yan replied, "That won't work. Being a cook is hard and tiring. If Brother He saw this, he would be heartbroken."

Li Xiulan glared at him and blushed slightly.

Mrs. Wu pointed at him and scolded him with a smile, "You are a mischievous ghost."

He Fang put his hand on his shoulder and shook him vigorously a few times: "You kid, you actually tease your brother He and sister-in-law."

Song Yan quickly bowed and begged for mercy, which made everyone laugh.

Shu Changyu turned his head frequently to look at the hand on Song Yan's shoulder, and felt inexplicably a little dazzling.

As they were chatting, they talked about the incident of wild beasts coming down the mountain a few days ago.

It looked like a wild boar, which had destroyed all the crops on the land near the mountain.

However, the crops have just been planted, so it is still time to replant now.

I am just worried that the wild boars will come down the mountain again and continue to destroy the food.

So the village chief decided to organize some young and strong men in the village to go to the mountains to catch wild boars in a few days.

Mrs. Wu suddenly asked, "Changyu, are you going into the mountains tomorrow?"

Shu Changyu said: "Come in."

Hearing this, Song Yan subconsciously turned her head to look at Shu Changyu.

Every time the heroine goes into the mountains, she gets a harvest, including wild boars, sheep, deer, and sometimes she can even dig up century-old ginseng and wild Ganoderma lucidum.

Song Yan was so envious of such luck that she cried.

He didn't dare go into the mountains for more than a month since he came here. He just picked mushrooms and dug wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain.

It would be a lie to say that he didn't want to go into the mountains, but he was very self-aware. With his thin arms and legs, he couldn't even tie a chicken.

Catching wild boars? You're dreaming!

It’s good enough not to become the beast’s meal.

Shu Changyu tilted his head to look at him: "You want to go too?"

Song Yan nodded: "I do."

He stroked the puppy's fur and said, "My father used to be a hunter and often went deep into the mountains. Unfortunately, I haven't learned any of his tricks and can only wander around at the foot of the mountain."

He Fang blurted out: "Then why didn't your father take you into the mountains?"

Song Yan said softly: "My father has passed away."

He Fang was stunned for a moment before he said, "Sorry, I don't know."

Song Yan shook her head: "It doesn't matter."

The other people also had different expressions and quickly changed the subject to avoid reminding him of the past.

At this time, Mrs. Wu said, "If Xiao Song wants to go into the mountains, why not go with Chang Yu?"

"Forget it. If I go with them, I'll just be a hindrance. So I won't bother. Actually, I don't really want to go into the mountains." Song Yan said.

Shu Changyu glanced at him and knew from his expression that he was speaking against his will.

He didn't want to bring a burden into the mountains, but when he heard Song Yan's unfamiliar tone, he felt inexplicably irritated.

"You can go if you want."

Song Yan was stunned for a moment: "Can I really go with you?"

Shu Changyu nodded: "Okay."

Song Yan thought about it and decided not to bother the heroine. After all, he was just a cannon fodder, and it was not good to be too involved with the heroine.

"I..." He just opened his mouth to say a word, but was interrupted by Shu Changyu, "I will go into the mountains at 3:5 tomorrow morning (7-9 a.m.) and come back at - p.m. (- p.m.)"

Yinshi four quarters, which is four o'clock in the morning.

So early, are you rushing to slaughter the pig? !

Just as Song Yan was about to speak, Shu Changyu gave him a look whose threat was too obvious.

"Don't you dare refuse to try."

The words "I'm not going" were immediately stuck in my throat.

Song Yan's mouth was bitter, and she forced a smile and said, "Then I'll see you tomorrow at 3:00 pm."

My life is so miserable.

Seeing that it was getting late, Song Yan made the excuse that she had to go back to cook, then she stood up and said goodbye, holding the puppy.

Mr. and Mrs. He Fang also said goodbye.

As they walked out of the courtyard, Mrs. Wu turned her head and looked at Shu Changyu, who was sitting on the stone pier, unmoved. She said with some regret, "Why are you still sitting here? Go and see him off."

Shu Changyu said without even raising his eyelids: "No."

Mrs. Wu sighed silently. It was so hard for him to have a friend come to visit, and he was not one of those frivolous guys who were after beauty. She couldn't help but like him a little more.

Shu Changyu was nonchalantly playing with the Buddhist beads on his wrist, his eyelashes drooping and his eyes deep.

It was as if he had just remembered that Shu Changsheng still owed him five taels and two cents.

He stood up suddenly and walked out the door.

When Mrs. Wu saw his hurried back, she quickly covered the smile on her lips with a handkerchief.

now it's right.

Afraid of meeting people from Xiaoli Village on the way, Song Yan planned to take a shortcut back. Just as she was saying goodbye to He Fang and his wife, she heard light footsteps behind her.

He turned around, was stunned for a moment and asked: "What's wrong?"

Shu Changyu threw a piece of silver into his basket: "I'll pay you back the silver I owed you last time."

Estimating that the silver piece weighed five taels, Song Yan wanted to refuse it, but thinking that he was really short of money recently, he shamelessly accepted it.

I failed to treat you and ended up eating the meal for free. I feel so embarrassed just thinking about it.

I thought to myself, I should give the heroine some snacks next time, girls should like to eat cookies.

The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, and Song Yan said, "I'll go back first."

Shu Changyu looked at the direction he left and frowned: "Where are you going?"

Song Yan pointed to the path and said, "I'll go back this way, there are fewer people."

"Don't hit that side." Shu Changyu said.

Song Yan noticed that he looked strange, so she asked, "Is there anything wrong with this road? I also passed through here when I came here."

Shu Changyu said calmly: "There's a madman living there."

Song Yan was surprised.

Before he could speak, Shu Changyu passed by him and looked back at him: "Go ahead, what are you still standing there for?"

Song Yan hurriedly followed, and the two walked one after the other on the village road.

At sunset, the villagers working in the fields picked up their hoes and returned home in the setting sun.

There was only one village road, and the two groups met on the road. The people on the opposite side saw Shu Changyu from afar and were so scared that they quickly avoided him.

Seems like she's very afraid of him.

Song Yan opened her mouth and asked, "They?"

Shu Changyu's expression was indifferent: "I have done too many bad things."

Song Yan didn't ask any more questions, thinking that it was someone who had offended the heroine in the past.

When they reached the entrance of the village, Song Yan waved goodbye and said, "Let's stop here. No need to see me off."

Shu Changyu said, "Don't be so sentimental. I was just passing by. Who gave you a ride?"

Song Yan felt amused.

When I was reading the novel, I didn't realize that the heroine was such a hypocritical person.

He suppressed his laughter and said, "Okay, okay, I was just being sentimental. You can go back now."
