Xu Yan told Xie Zhuo the location of the small box, but neither of them was in a hurry to dig it up.

One reason is that when they went out, they only brought fishing tools and a small bucket for fish, but no backpack to carry things.

On the other hand, at this time, there are many people washing clothes and carrying water, so it is not suitable to dig with so many people around.

"Guess what's in the box?" Xu Yan asked.

"I don't know," Xie Zhuo shook his head, took out Xiaobao's hand that was about to reach into the bucket, and asked, "What is it?"

"I don't know either," Xu Yan said.

After saying that, he added, "But that small box is quite heavy, and... seeing how anxious Han Xiaoyu was just now, I guess it must contain some valuable things."

Xie Zhuo glanced at her.

He didn't know why, but after spending some time together, he found it increasingly difficult to see through Xu Yan.

Although he was now certain that Xu Yan was reborn just like him, but looking at her behavior at times, he felt that she didn't look like she was reborn. What did she look like...

It’s hard to say.

In her previous life, she loved Han Xiaoyu until her death, and she gave almost everything she could for Han Xiaoyu.

Even if I were reborn now and felt that my previous life was not worth it and wanted to live this life again, I shouldn't behave like this.

how to say.

It's just a little too calm and indifferent.

It seemed as if she had thrown all her previous relationships behind her.

There was no strong hatred in her eyes when she looked at Han Xiaoyu, but only calm disgust. When she couldn't see him, she would not take the initiative to mention him, nor would she take the initiative to pay attention to his movements. Only when she met him would she be a spectator with a mentality of watching the fun.

The most obvious change is her personality.

He is completely different from the timid and dumb little boy he used to be.

But for the rest...

He fished the person out of the river himself. She looked almost the same as before, except that she might have been eating better recently, so she looked more cheerful and healthy, and a little more beautiful than before.

Xie Zhuo was thinking seriously, but the person next to him waved his hand in front of his eyes, and he suddenly came back to his senses.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Xu Yan shook his hand again.

"Hmm?" Xie Zhuo blinked his slightly dry eyes.

He took the opportunity to pinch her thin white hand.

Xu Yan was startled by the pinch, and quickly looked at Dabao and Xiaobao beside him. Seeing that they were both looking down at the fish in the bucket, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Zhuo smiled at her reaction.

That expression seemed to be saying, it's just a pinch of the hands, it's not like I did anything else, why are you so nervous?

Xu Yan: “…”

After they sat there for a few more minutes, Xu Yan withdrew his hand, stood up, and brushed the dust off his pants.

"Go home and grill some fish."

That being said, it was still early, so Xie Zhuo took off his shoes, went into the water to catch a few small fish, and then the family walked back.

When Dabao and Xiaobao said that Xie Zhuo's grilled fish was particularly delicious, Xu Yan was still a little skeptical.

In her previous life, she and her friends would occasionally go out for barbecues, or go to farm houses to eat grilled fish. Well, fish cooked in other ways tasted better.

So after returning home, when Xie Zhuo was busy grilling in the yard, she didn't have too high expectations.

I washed some mung beans and, with the help of Dabao and Xiaobao to light a fire and light the stove, I cooked some mung bean soup.

In her previous life, when her grandmother was still alive, she would always cook mung bean soup in the summer to cool down and reduce internal heat.

While the three of them were telling stories in the kitchen and waiting for the mung bean soup, the smell of grilled fish outside wafted in.

"It smells so good, it's fish!" said Dabao.

"Fish," Xiaobao had already leaned half of his body out of the kitchen.

Xu Yan also felt like swallowing his saliva, it was really fragrant.

Xie Zhuo in the yard also noticed them. When his eyes met Xu Yan's, he handed her the first grilled fish in his hand, "Be careful, it's hot."

Then, when Dabao and Xiaobao were looking at him eagerly, he divided a few fried golden and crispy dried fish into two portions and put them in their small bowls.

Although grilled fish is delicious, fried dried fish is also delicious.

The small fish are as long as a finger joint, and the fish bones are also very small. You can just chew them when eating. There is no need to worry about children getting fish bones stuck in their throats.

"How does it taste?" Xie Zhuo asked.

"Great, great," Dabao said first.

"Uncle San is so awesome," Dabao swallowed the dried fish in his mouth, "Dabao wants to eat more."

After he finished speaking, Xiaobao quickly followed up by saying, "I want to eat more."

Xie Zhuo looked at him helplessly, then turned his gaze to Xu Yan.

"Delicious," Xu Yan smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "I've never eaten such delicious grilled fish!"

This is really not an exaggeration.

She didn't know if Xie Zhuo had used any seasoning or technique that she didn't know about, but the fish he grilled had a crispy skin and a bit of fragrant burnt flavor at the corners. When she took a bite, there was no fishy smell at all, and her mouth was filled with fragrance.

He also put a little dried chili powder and salt in a small bowl next to him, indicating to Xu Yan that he could dip it in it.

Xu Yan ate two fish in a row before she remembered to run to the kitchen to check on her mung bean soup.

The water has boiled, but the mung beans are still firm and round as before, with no sign of bursting.

Xu Yan stuffed a slightly thicker wooden stick into the stove and left the kitchen.

There were no refrigerators in that era, so we couldn’t freeze the mung beans in the refrigerator and then cook them like we did in later generations. If we did that, the beans would be cooked and bloomed in ten minutes or so.

But, cook it slowly.

Anyway, there is no need to rush out or go to work now, just wait leisurely for the soup to be cooked.

When I think about it this way, life is pretty good now.

Xie Zhuo saw Xu Yan coming out of the kitchen and handed her the re-grilled fish.

Xu Yan waved his hand, "I can't eat anymore. You've been busy for a long time and haven't eaten a single bite. Eat more."

Xie Zhuo made sure that she was really full before he started eating.

Xu Yan sat aside and looked at him.

Xie Zhuo ate very quickly. He finished a small fish in just three bites. There were also some bread and biscuits on the table that they had bought two days ago. He basically finished each one in two bites. However, his movements and expression did not look ugly at all.

He doesn't smack his lips while eating.

Pleasant to the eye.

Delicious food.

So... the original book must have been written by Han Xiaoyu himself, otherwise, Xie Zhuo in the book would be so different from the real person!

Only after Xu Yan's hand was pulled by Dabao did she move her gaze to the side.

Xie Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief.

He really couldn't eat any more if he was stared at any longer.

Since he didn't have to go to work in the afternoon, Xie Zhuo bolted the door, went into the house, took out all the watches and started repairing them.

He also repaired it for a while last night, but Xu Yan was lying on the kang. He sat alone at the table, and no one knew what he was thinking about. Anyway, he didn't fix any of them and went straight to sleep on the kang.

If it's not repaired and delivered today, Lao He will have to urge us.

Xu Yan had just finished her meal and was not quite sleepy yet, so she sat under the pear tree reading her high school Chinese textbook. Dabao and Xiaobao sat beside her, writing the characters she had taught them over the past two days, stroke by stroke.

It can be said that the years are peaceful.

If there is no one knocking on the door suddenly.

bang bang bang-

The person knocking on the door was very heavy-handed. Not only were the two kids frightened, but even Xu Yan almost threw the book in his hand away.
