Although Tian Danian's words, one after another, sounded like nagging, Zhao Xiaoshu actually understood that it was concern, undisguised concern.

He felt a little sad in his heart. His parents died early, and this was the first time he felt the long-lost care from someone he had only known for a short time.

However, he was an extremely sensitive person with a strong sense of self-esteem. Even though he felt very bitter inside, he had a stiff neck and could not show anything.

Hearing Tian Danian calling him to get in the carriage, he suppressed the bitterness in his eyes, opened the door of the carriage, and followed Hanhan in.

In the carriage, Tian Xiaochun was already sitting at one side of the carriage with his eyes closed and resting.

After Hanhan and Zhao Xiaoshu sat down, Hanhan was very carefree and didn't feel Zhao Xiaoshu's discomfort at all. He kept finding topics to talk to Zhao Xiaoshu.

Zhao Xiaoshu responded from time to time, but he didn't listen to what Hanhan said specifically.

All his attention was focused on Tian Xiaochun.

This was the first time he looked at Tian Xiaochun so carefully since he arrived in Tianjia Village and met Tian Xiaochun.

He really doubted whether the person who had just fought one against three and helped him beat the bad guys was really Tian Xiaochun?

Looking at her thin body with thin arms and legs, one would never imagine her great skills in dealing with danger just now.

It seemed that Zhao Xiaoshu's gaze was too intense. Tian Xiaochun, who had his eyes closed, felt the gaze and suddenly opened his eyes.

Suddenly meeting Tian Xiaochun's eyes, Zhao Xiaoshu smiled instinctively, then lowered his head in panic, pretending nothing had happened, and started talking to Hanhan.

However, he had no idea what Hanhan had said before, and just said the next sentence randomly, which confused Hanhan.

When Zhao Xiaoshu looked up again, he found that Tian Xiaochun had closed his eyes again to rest.

Zhao Xiaoshu let out a long sigh, then followed Tian Xiaochun's example and closed his eyes to rest.

However, whether I can sleep is unknown.

When Tian Xiaochun woke up again, he was woken up by his eldest brother.

Hanhan had already gotten off the carriage, and Tian Xiaochun was the only one left in the carriage.

She opened the car door and walked out. Oh, she had arrived at her home. The yard was filled with the aroma of stewed meat. It seemed that her mother had already prepared dinner.

Tian Xiaochun looked back in the direction of the Zhao family. She didn't see Zhao Xiaoshu, so she guessed that he had gone in long ago. Tian Xiaochun could only shake her head, then followed the stone into the yard.

The next morning, Zhao Xiaoshu actually came to the door, holding a bag of brown sugar, a bag of snacks, and a bag of tea.

"Xiao Shu, what are you doing?"

Zhao Xiaoshu's action scared Tian Danian.

It’s not a festival, why did this kid bring things to my house?

Zhao Xiaoshu smiled embarrassedly. He came here today specifically to thank Tian Xiaochun for rescuing him.

After returning home yesterday, he told his grandfather what happened in the county town.

Not only was Mr. Zhao not worried, he stroked his beard and said, "The life-saving grace should be repaid with gratitude! You have to go to the second young lady's house in person to thank her. Even if the Tian family doesn't need this little bit of stuff now, it's up to the Tian family to accept it or not, and it's up to us to go or not. Besides, if it weren't for the second young lady's help, I'm afraid it would be impossible for you to come back from the county town in one piece."

It’s a pity that the Zhao family can only offer the first two things suitable for Tian Xiaochun to eat, and the last item, tea, is what the old man said he would bring to Tian Danian.

If Mr. Zhao hadn't injured his legs, he would have come here in person.

Although Tian Danian knew what happened yesterday, he didn't take it seriously at all.

Now, he could clearly see the gratitude in Zhao Xiaoshu's eyes.

As for the things, he didn't refuse.

Even though they live next door to each other, he doesn't know about this grandparents and grandchildren. People say that scholars are stubborn, he didn't think so before, but now it seems, it's true!

If he didn't withdraw his efforts, Mr. Zhao would have to come in person regardless of his injured leg.

Zhao Xiaoshu sat in the main room of the Tian family, looking a little restrained, with his hands on his knees, and occasionally glancing at Tian Xiaochun's door.

He has been in the Tian family for such a long time, but he still hasn't seen the second girl come out. He wants to solemnly say "thank you" to the second girl again.

However, his wish was destined to fail.

Because Tian Xiaochun was not at home today, she went to the old hunter's house halfway up the mountain early in the morning.

Of course, Tian Xiaoman also went with Tian Xiaochun.

Yesterday, Wang marinated several pig's trotters and pig's heads, and specially left some for the old hunter.

Originally, Tian Danian wanted to deliver it personally, but when Tian Xiaochun found out, he snatched the job away.

She didn't let her younger sister go either, and dragged Tian Xiaoman and carried the things out of the door.

It is already February, the snow is gradually melting, and even the wind seems to have a hint of gentleness, unlike the twelfth lunar month when it blows on people's faces and it doesn't hurt as much.

The road leading to the middle of the mountain is a little easier to walk on.

But even so, the two sisters still took some effort to get to the old hunter's house.

The old hunter had recovered from typhoid fever long ago, and when the two sisters arrived, he was tanning a piece of leather in the yard.

When the old hunter saw the two sisters, he smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

"I haven't seen you for a while. You two have almost grown up. It's cold and windy out, why don't you tie a scarf before coming over?"

Tian Xiaochun laughed heartlessly, "I was in a hurry to get out, so I forgot about it. This is the pig's trotter and pig's head meat that my mother made. They are so delicious. Just right for you to eat with wine tonight."

The old hunter likes to have a drink, but he doesn’t drink in the morning. He usually takes a few sips in the evening.

In winter, it can relieve fatigue and drive away the cold.

"The sauces your mother made are really delicious. I, an old man, am lucky to have them."

"Old hunter, what kind of leather are you making with nitrate? Why is it so big?"

The old hunter smiled even more and pointed at the skin and said, "Don't you remember?"

Tian Xiaochun and Tian Xiaoman shook their heads at the same time. It was almost formed, how could anyone tell?

The old hunter's skill in nitrifying leather is the best in the village.

Not only would they nitrate the skins of the prey they hunted, but if anyone in the village got any skins, they would also ask the old hunter for help in nitrifying them.

Suddenly, Tian Xiaochun, who was staring at the leather, exclaimed, "Could this be the leather of the silly guy that Hanhan beat up before?"
