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

Chen Lihua asked a lot of questions, and Xu Yan picked out what he could say and told the old couple in detail everything he knew.

When he heard the noise in the yard, Xie Zhuo had already gone out on his bicycle.

Xu Yan called Dabao.

"Third Auntie," Dabao put down the small wooden stick in his hand and ran to the door of the main hall, "What do you want to talk to Dabao about?"

"Where did Third Uncle go?" Xu Yan asked.

"Uncle San went to buy some meat," said Dabao.

Xu Yan nodded, and seeing that his head was covered in sweat, he waved at him, "Ask Xiaobao brother to come over and take a look at the sweat on your forehead."

As Xu Yan spoke, he waited until the two kids stood in front of him and wiped the sweat off their faces with a clean handkerchief.

Then he said, "Go ahead and play."

Dabao and Xiaobao ran out quickly.

Xie Zhuo was very quick and bought the meat in half an hour.

Xu Yan took Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong, who had been traveling for several days, to a room next to the main hall and settled them down before turning to the kitchen.

Xie Zhuo had already fried two vegetarian dishes and mixed a cold dish, and was now heating up the oil in a pan to fry the meat.

"It smells so good," Xu Yan was surrounded by a strong aroma of oil when she entered. She wrinkled her nose and sniffed.

Xie Zhuo glanced behind her and saw that she was alone, so he asked, "Did your parents go to rest?"

Xu Yan paused as he sat on the stool next to the stove, then looked up at Xie Zhuo, "You call me that so easily."

"What else?" Xie Zhuo glanced at her.

Xu Yan suddenly remembered that he didn't know about his engagement and was speechless.

"It's worthy of praise," Xu Yan sat down.

Xie Zhuo looked at her again and didn't say much, but when the oil temperature rose and began to smoke, he asked Xu Yan to sit further away. Xu Yan obediently moved the small stool towards the table.

Many people in later generations said that rice cooked in an earthen stove powered by firewood smelled better, but Xu Yan didn’t feel that way. She thought that as long as the chef had good skills, the food would taste good no matter how it was cooked.

Today I got to experience a wonderful life with an earthen stove and the chef’s cooking skills were superb.

The moment Xie Zhuo poured the meat into the wok, she smelled the strong aroma of meat.

It hasn't been long since I had lunch, but I'm actually so hungry that I'm drooling.

"smell good!"

Dabao and Xiaobao also gathered at the kitchen door and shouted at the smell coming from the kitchen.

"Oh my two darlings," Xu Yan was startled by their voices and turned to look at them, "Aunt Third will become deaf sooner or later."

Dabao and Xiaobao giggled.

Xie Zhuo glanced at Xu Yan when she said the first sentence, and then continued to concentrate on cooking.

The kitchen was very lively. Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong had not eaten lunch, so they were just lying in the room and could not sleep at all.

At this moment, I heard the hustle and bustle outside and smelled the fragrance. I couldn't even lie down anymore.

"You're still worried that your daughter will be wronged," Chen Lihua said as she put on her shoes, "I think she's living a happy life."

"This Xie Zhuo seems to be a good guy, tall and energetic. Most importantly, I think he is really good to our daughter."

Xu Cangsong said nothing.

When he was about to leave, he said, "Let's take a look."

After they left the room, Xu Cangsong felt that there was basically no need to "take another look". If the fragrance filling the yard was Xie Zhuo's craftsmanship, he thought it would be a good idea for his daughter to marry him.

At least I won’t starve.

"Dabao and Xiaobao, go call grandpa and grandma to eat," Xu Yan called the two kids when he saw Xie Zhuo had already served the dishes.

Dabao and Xiaobao ran outside happily.

Even though they had just eaten grilled fish at noon, they couldn't help but drool when they smelled the meat.

"I'll take the dishes out," Xu Yan walked over and took the plate from Xie Zhuo's hand.

Who knew that before her hand even touched the plate, Xie Zhuo grabbed her and hugged her waist.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Xu Yan subconsciously glanced towards the kitchen door, then tried to push Xie Zhuo's hand.

"What did you call Dabao and Xiaobao just now?" Xie Zhuo asked, staring at her with his eyes lowered.

"Ah?" Xu Yan didn't react.

Aren’t they just Dabao and Xiaobao?

What else can you call it...

She was suddenly startled and thought of something.

When she looked up, she saw Xie Zhuo still staring at her seriously, as if he would not let her go until she explained herself clearly today.

"I," Xu Yan stuttered.

Then he stared at Xie Zhuo, "Are you jealous, Xie darling?"

After saying that, without caring about Xie Zhuo's reaction, she pushed his hand again. This time Xie Zhuo didn't use much force. She easily broke free from the shackles, took a step back, picked up the other dishes on the table, and walked out of the kitchen.

They still ate under the pear tree. Four adults and two children surrounded the small table tightly. Xu Yan's mung bean soup was also served.

After a few hours, the mung bean soup has cooled down. It tastes so sweet that I feel like I can eat two more bowls of rice.

Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong felt that it was too wasteful. Even in their family, they rarely ate like this except during the Chinese New Year.

But when the food on the chopsticks reached his mouth, he thought that they had come here only once, and his daughter had married him, so what was wrong with eating his meal?

Xu Yan had eaten a lot at noon and was not hungry, so he tasted every dish and stopped eating, lowering his head to concentrate on drinking the mung bean soup.

Xie Zhuo, on the other hand, ate a lot.

Not only did she clean up all the leftover food on the table, but after eating, she also started drinking with her father.

When Dabao and Xiaobao carried the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, Chen Lihua praised them again.

This time, I also praised Xie Zhuo.

In just a few hours, her impression of Xie Zhuo improved greatly.

"It's not easy to teach children to be so sensible. Besides, I think he is very attentive to the two children. He is really good."

Xu Yan nodded with a bit of amusement.

"But," Chen Lihua suddenly changed the subject, "you are still young."

"Huh?" Xu Yan didn't understand.

The main reason is that in her previous life she had no parents and no partner, and her friends were basically the same age as her. No one would suddenly come crazy and talk to her about getting married and having children at the age of 24.

So she looked at Chen Lihua with eyes that were confused but also a bit stupid.

"You," Chen Lihua glanced into the yard and saw that no one would come in for the time being, so she lowered her voice and said, "You are still young and so thin. If you get pregnant now, you will suffer in the future."

Xu Yan finally understood what Chen Lihua meant just now.

My face turned red all of a sudden.

Discussing this with elders...

"People in the countryside don't use contraception, they just give birth when they're pregnant, but you can't do that," Chen Lihua frowned, "You have to take care of your body first."

Xu Yan's face was still flushed.

"If that happens," Chen Lihua said, "ask Xie Zhuo to go to the city hospital to get some condoms, that thing..."

Before Chen Lihua finished speaking, Xu Yan suddenly raised his voice and started to cough dryly, and then quickly interrupted her, "Mom, well, if you still want to drink mung bean soup, I'll go get you some more."

After saying that, he turned around and scooped some mung bean soup from the basin.

"Ah, I don't..."

Chen Lihua was a little confused and wanted to say something, but when she turned around, she saw Xie Zhuo standing at the kitchen door without knowing when.
