On the second day after the beam was put up, Huang Laodou, together with a group of bricklayers, began to do the final finishing work on Tian Danian's house.

If things continue like this, I'm afraid the whole house will be cleaned up in another five or seven days.

After drying the clothes for ten days or half a month, the Tian family will be able to move into their new home.

"Miss Xiaochun, do you like green bean cakes?"

Huang Xi's job today is to pave the blue brick floor in the Tian family's front yard.

Tian Xiaochun was a person who could not sit still. When he saw that there was work to do at home, he volunteered to help carry the blue bricks.

After a few exchanges, Huang Xi started chatting with Tian Xiaochun.

Tian Xiaochun had a good impression of Huang Xi. At least he was a hardworking and honest young man.

"Mung bean cake? It's okay. My favorite is the red date cake. It's sweet and leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth after eating it."

Huang Xi touched the mung bean cakes wrapped in oil paper in his pocket. He was a little confused and didn't know whether he should take them out or not.

This was something he brought specially for Tian Xiaochun. It wasn't much, only five yuan, but it was a token of his appreciation.

But now, the girl doesn’t like mung bean cake at all. She likes red date cake. This is embarrassing.

Just send it off. If the girl doesn't like it and refuses it, he won't have the courage to say goodbye.

Don’t worry, I have made all the preparations, and all I need is this final touch.

How can this be good?

With a few more blue bricks, the entire front yard would be paved.

Huang Xi made up his mind and decided to give it to him. If not, and he took it home, wouldn’t all his preparations have been in vain?

He took out a mung bean cake wrapped in oil paper from his pocket and said, "Miss Xiaochun, these are some mung bean cakes I brought with me. Are you hungry? Do you need some to fill your stomach?"

Tian Xiaochun looked at Huang Xi suspiciously. It had only been a short time since lunch, less than an hour yet. Could it be that the young man was hungry and didn't want to eat alone, so he asked her to join him?

But! How many pieces can be put in such an oil paper bag? I am afraid that it is not enough for this young man to eat by himself. If she eats it too, won’t the young man be even more hungry?

Tian Xiaochun waved his hands quickly, "I'm not hungry, you can keep it for yourself. Besides, I don't like the taste of mung beans."

Huang Xi's hands dropped down, holding the mung bean cakes in his hands, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, Mu Tou ran over. He was about to say something when he saw the paper bag in Huang Xi's hand and his eyes lit up.

"Brother Huang, what is this? Is it delicious?"

Huang Xi was a little embarrassed, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Oh, it's mung bean cake, do you want to eat it?"

"Then give me a piece to try. I'll bring you some of my osmanthus cake later and we can take turns eating it."

Huang Xi awkwardly stuffed several pieces of mung bean cakes into Mu Tou's hands, "All for you, all for you. You don't have to give me the osmanthus cakes. I, I'm not hungry."

Tian Xiaochun raised his eyebrows. Aren’t you hungry in such a short time?

Young man, you are changing too fast.

Huang Xi was extremely embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with such a situation, so he had to squat down and continue working on those blue bricks.

Huang Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief after Tian Xiaochun and Mu Tou left.

It seems that the first action ended in failure.

Huang Dong had noticed the situation here a long time ago. After seeing Tian Xiaochun leave, he hurried over and put his arm around his younger brother's shoulders.

"How's it going? Did you use the method that big brother taught you?"

Huang Xi looked hopeless, "Brother, what kind of dirty tricks are you using? The girl doesn't like eating mung bean cakes."

Huang Dong pinched his chin, his eyes rolling around, "Don't you like green bean cakes? Your sister-in-law loved them very much back then. Every time I gave them to her, she happily accepted them."

Huang Xi was speechless. Sister-in-law is sister-in-law, and Xiaochun is Xiaochun. The two must have different tastes.

Is this my own brother? Why does he always give me bad advice?

"Don't be discouraged! Second brother, how about you try another method? Give her a flower or a hairband or something like that? Don't little girls like those?"

"Is this possible?" Huang Xi was a little uncertain.

Huang Dong nodded his head, "Of course I can. Your sister-in-law liked the peony flower I gave her the most. She always wore it on her head when she went to the county town to buy things. You should have seen it. Your sister-in-law even wore it a few days ago."

Huang Xi recalled that he seemed to have some impression of the big red silk flower on his sister-in-law's head.

Then try again?

"Victory and defeat are common in the military, and failure is the mother of success. Second brother, those who study can work hard and have that kind of fighting spirit. You have to work hard to pursue a girl."

In short, Huang Xi was finally driven crazy by his elder brother.

"Okay, then I'll try another method."

On the second day, Huang Xi's task was to build a stable with another young man.

He originally thought that Tian Xiaochun would come over to help or something, but after half a day, there was no sign of Tian Xiaochun.

The young man was a little anxious, and when he saw Mu Mu, he secretly asked him several questions.

Mu Tou had no idea what this man was thinking about his second sister, so he very thoughtlessly revealed Tian Xiaochun's whereabouts.

"My second sister has gone to deliver dumplings to the old hunter grandfather. She will be back soon."

By the time Huang Xi and the young man had finished building the Tian family's stable, they met Tian Xiaochun coming back from halfway up the mountain.

When Tian Xiaochun was about to reach the door of the Tian family, Huang Xi hurried to meet him.

"Miss Xiaochun, I heard you went to the middle of the mountain? Are there any pheasants on the mountain now?"

Their village is not near the mountains, so he is quite interested in hunting and collecting mountain products.

Tian Xiaochun didn't think much about it and just stood there talking to Huang Xi for a long time.

Of course, they were all talking about some interesting things in the mountains. Huang Xi was so fascinated by what he was saying that he almost forgot the purpose of his visit.

If he hadn't accidentally touched the big red silk flower in his pocket, he would have forgotten his purpose.

"Um, Miss Xiaochun..." Huang Xi hesitated, his face turning red as a monkey's butt.

Tian Xiaochun was very straightforward, "If you have something to say, just tell me. We are so familiar with each other, there is no need to hide anything."

Huang Xi took out a big red silk flower from his pocket that he had bought in the county town and handed it to Tian Xiaochun. "I see you don't have any decoration on your head. I bought this for you when I went to the county town to buy something. Do you like it?"

Tian Xiaochun was stunned. This was the first time a boy had given her something since she was a child.

Of course, those boys in Tianjia Village who only follow her lead do not count.

"For me?"

Huang Xi nodded with a red face, and was about to speak when he heard a shout from not far away.

"Sister Xiaochun, something bad has happened!"
