Marry a rough man in exchange for marriage, cannon fodder educated youth go to the countryside to wi

The more Xu Yan thought about it, the more he felt that Han Xiaoyu should have been reborn as well. But when he thought about what Han Xiaoyu had done in recent months, he was not so sure anymore?

If he was really reborn, why would he still be entangled with Sun Jiarou?

It is clear that in the original book, although Sun Jiarou is prettier than the girls in the countryside, she is not as good as Ye Wei in terms of temperament or the help she provided to Han Xiaoyu in the later period.

Could it be because of love?

It's not impossible, Xu Yan thought slowly. After all, the original book described the love between the two of them as something unparalleled in heaven and earth.

But, from everything she had heard, she really couldn't tell how much Han Xiaoyu loved Sun Jiarou...

"When will your Xie Zhuo come back?" Li Aihua suddenly turned the topic to Xie Zhuo, "It's been seven days, right?"

"Hmm?" Xu Yan came back to his senses and nodded, "Hmm."

"The weather is getting colder," Li Aihua said, "If he doesn't come back, will your family still have firewood for the winter?"

"Yes," Xu Yan said, "He brought back a lot last year. I saw they were all piled up in the warehouse in the backyard."

"That's fine," Li Aihua said, pulling the hemp rope with her teeth to tighten it. "I heard from our Zheng Er that the team will go to the city to buy carbon in a few days. Will your family buy some? If you do, just ask Zheng Er to buy it for you."

This touches upon Xu Yan's blind spot in life.

Growing up in the city, she had also seen in TV dramas that people in rural areas relied on stoves to keep warm, boil water and cook in the winter.

But she really didn't understand whether to buy carbon or how much to buy.

"Hmm?" Seeing that Xu Yan didn't say anything and just stared at her, Li Aihua snorted in confusion.

"Let's wait for Xie Zhuo to come back," Xu Yan thought for a long time before replying.

Two days passed and the weather became colder.

When Xu Yan thought that if Xie Zhuo didn't come back, the whole winter would be over, Xie Zhuo finally sent another telegram back, telling Xu Yan that he had boarded the train to return.

Xu Yan, who was learning how to heat the kang from Aunt Yang, had tears in his eyes.

Without Xie Zhuo, life in the countryside would be too difficult.

She knew that she had to heat the kang when it got cold, but she didn't know how or how long to do it. She fiddled with it for a long time, but ended up getting covered in dust and not getting it done properly.

Finally, Yang Shulan came over and saw her look. She wanted to laugh but couldn't.

Xu Yan looks like a young lady from a wealthy family, with fair and moist skin that looks like water could be squeezed out. The last time her parents came, they looked so majestic, so her family must be really well off.

Yes, if it wasn't good, he wouldn't be able to send her so much money in just half a year.

Such a girl who was good in every way ended up marrying the third brother.

She suffered what she shouldn't have suffered.

For some reason, Yang Shulan always felt that she owed Xu Yan something. She sighed and was about to help Xu Yan.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yan rejected me.

"Aunt, just teach me," Xu Yan said, "I'm covered in dust, I'll wash it off later, so don't get yourself dirty."

Yang Shulan wanted to say something, but seeing Xu Yan's insistence, she finally agreed.

Xu Yan didn't know what Yang Shulan was thinking, but when he was directed by Yang Shulan to take a large shovel and go to a warehouse on the west side of the backyard to shovel cow dung, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.

"Burn this?"

With some difficulty, Xu Yan pointed at the dried cow dung.

"Yes, that's it." Yang Shulan was amused by her nausea-inducing appearance, and reached out to take the shovel in her hand. "How about I do it?"

"No, I'll do it," Xu Yan said.

The words were sonorous and powerful, but the hands that were shoveling the cow dung revealed a sense of resistance.

In the end, Xu Yan suppressed his nausea and put the cow dung into the kang hole.

Fortunately, fortunately, the kang hole is outside the house, otherwise she really couldn't accept it.

Because Xie Zhuo was away these few days, Xu Yan had been sleeping in the same room with Dabao and Xiaobao, and they only had to heat one kang. She followed Yang Shulan's instructions, blocked the kang hole with a few clods of earth, and then blocked the outside of the clods with a sack filled with straw before she went to boil water for a bath and to change clothes.

As usual, Yang Shulan came over after dinner and stayed until around nine o'clock, then went home.

After washing their feet and faces, Dabao and Xiaobao hid in the quilt and waited for Xu Yan to get on the kang.

Dabao felt that the kang was too cold two days ago, but he never said anything. He and Xiaobao squeezed into the same quilt, relying on each other's body warmth to warm the quilt.

As soon as she got into the quilt today, she screamed, which scared Xu Yan so much that he thought something happened.

"It's hot," Xiaobao kicked the quilt with his foot.

Xu Yan smiled and said, "Did you two feel cold the past two days? You don't know how to tell Auntie if you feel cold or uncomfortable in the future."

"If you don't tell me, Third Aunt will sometimes ignore it."

After washing his face, Xu Yan poured out the water and got on the kang.

"Third Aunt," Xiaobao suddenly called Xu Yan.

"Hmm?" Xu Yan lay on the pillow, covered herself with the quilt, and then went to look at Xiaobao, who had stopped talking after calling her.

"what happened?"

"You, can you be my mother?" Xiaobao asked.

This sentence was very sudden. Xu Yan's expression was stunned. He just stared at Xiao Bao for a long time, then touched his face, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Xiaobao didn't say anything.

Dabao was smiling originally, but now he stopped smiling. He frowned and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a long while, he spoke again: "I also want Third Aunt to be my mother and Third Uncle to be my father."

This question is a bit beyond the scope.

Xu Yan didn't know how to answer.

Just when she was silent and didn't know what to say, Xiao Bao suddenly asked: "If Uncle San finds my mother, do I have to go with her?"

Xu Yan was really surprised this time. Her eyes widened a little. She sat up slightly and looked at Xiao Bao, "How did you know?"

"My brother and I heard it," Xiaobao said. "The afternoon before Uncle San left, we heard him say he was going to look for my mother."

Xu Yan didn't say anything. He tried hard to think about what happened that afternoon, but he couldn't remember much.

but……

She thought about it, then reached out and gently touched Xiaobao's head, whose eyes were already filled with tears.

Before he could say anything, Xiaobao started crying, "Did Uncle San plan to send me away because I said I dreamed about my mother that day?"

"I, I was just talking nonsense that day," Xiaobao's tears fell, "I didn't dream about anyone, I, I was just talking nonsense, don't send me away."

"I don't want my mother, I just want my third uncle and third aunt."

Xiaobao was cute with big eyes, and when he started crying, Xu Yan's heart instantly softened.

Then I felt sad again.

Dabao was holding his tears at first, but when he saw Xiaobao crying, he couldn't help crying too.
