The midwife weighed the purse and found it was at least twenty taels. It turned out that this family was very wealthy and their spending was extraordinary.

The key point is, they...just shouted two slogans and didn't do anything.

This purse is held in a weird way... I feel embarrassed.

"Thank you for the reward, Miss."

Although Tian Youyou likes her younger siblings very much, she doesn't want to help take care of the children.

So the next day when they sent the midwife back to the county town, they directly invited two women from the county to come back to take care of Jiang Xiuxiu and the child.

Tian Shounian could also concentrate on his studies.

Jiang Xiuxiu never thought that she would have someone to take care of her during the confinement period.

When she gave birth to Youyou, she was still washing clothes outside just before she gave birth.

While she was washing, she suddenly went into labor. She endured the pain, washed the clothes, and then came back to give birth.

I only rested for three days after giving birth, and then continued to do laundry and cook.

Now, someone will take care of you during the confinement period, so you don’t have to do anything.

The meals were light and plentiful, and were served to the bed.

When the children cried at night, the two women could help hold one each, and she just continued to sleep.

On the third day, the midwife was called back to perform the third bath for the two children.

The villagers came to celebrate, and Tian Youyou also asked someone to pick up Jiang Da and Jiang Su.

In addition to sending eggs, brown sugar, cakes, cloth for the children, and shoes and socks as gifts, the villagers also pooled their money to buy each of the two children a gold lock.

The banquet was prepared by the chef of Anping Restaurant. The staple food was noodles, and there were rich dishes and wine.

Xiao Yao gave gold lockets to the two children separately, and no one knew when he prepared them.

It was given to Tian Youyou after the third bath.

"Such a valuable item..." Tian Youyou muttered, "Then I'll accept it."

"Thank you." She accepted the gold lock, but saw that Xiao Yao's brows were furrowed.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

Xiao Yao suddenly grabbed her hand and took her out of the Tian family's yard.

The two came to the river...

When the otters in the river saw Tian Youyou coming, they all surfaced to greet her.

"I want to go home." Xiao Yao said suddenly.

Tian Youyou just squatted down and immediately stood up, "What?"

"I want to go home." Xiao Yao faced her.

"Going back to Qinzhou Prefecture?" Tian Youyou remembered that the engagement letter said it was Sajin Lane in Qinzhou Prefecture.

Xiao Yao lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and shook his head, "No, it's the capital."

Tian Youyou was puzzled, he never said he was from Beijing.

"My father is in the capital."

Tian Youyou felt a little depressed, "When will you be back?"

Xiao Yao clenched his fists, "I don't know."

After returning from the provincial capital, Fang Sihai told him that he had received a letter from the capital saying that his father was ill and Aunt Yun asked him to go home immediately.

If my father's condition is serious this time, he will not be able to come back.

"Youyou." Xiao Yao suddenly grabbed her shoulders and looked at her lovingly, "Youyou, I..."

He didn't know how to start.

Tian Youyou looked at him and asked cautiously, "You, what do you want to say?"

Xiao Yao took a deep breath and looked at her firmly, "Youyou, you, you can feel it, right?"

"what?"

"Can you feel my feelings for you?"

Tian Youyou's cheeks turned slightly red, not knowing how to respond, "What...thoughts."

She is to Xiao Yao...

After hearing her words, Xiao Yao put down his hand dejectedly.

He sighed, "Forget it..."

He turned around dejectedly and slowly left the river.

Tian Youyou looked at his back and felt inexplicably flustered.

He's going home...and maybe never coming back again.

She never saw him again...

Her heart tightened slightly, and Tian Youyou couldn't help but call out, "Xiao Yao..."

Xiao Yao turned around, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.

Tian Youyou walked a few steps to Xiao Yao, raised her head and looked at him, "I, I can feel it."

If he didn't have feelings for her, why would he have been silently accompanying her all this time?

And she got used to his company...

Xiao Yao's eyes suddenly lit up with surprise, "Really?"

"But..." Tian Youyou pursed her lips, "But you are leaving soon, we..."

Xiao Yao gently held her hand, "Youyou, my father is seriously ill, I have to go back, you wait for me, wait for me for two or three years, wait until I have settled the things at home, I will come to find you."

Tian Youyou looked down at the big hand holding her.

Xiao Yao is only nineteen years old...

The boy's figure is tall and slender, like the breeze and bright moon.

His face is fair, his eyebrows are like swords, and his eyes are like stars, revealing a heroic and energetic spirit.

She has a high nose bridge, light pink lips and slightly upturned corners of her mouth, making her look gentle and confident.

At this moment, his eyes were still shining with longing and expectation for the future.

Tian Youyou looked at his face. He was at the best age. He had the vitality of a teenager, and was gradually acquiring the demeanor and responsibility of an adult.

Of course, she was only fifteen years old, which was the age of marriage in that era and she could get married.

But she couldn't accept it, this body was too immature.

Besides, the family business...will be expanded after the autumn harvest this year, so she has no time to think about getting married.

In that case, why not...give him, and yourself, a chance?

"Okay, I'll wait for you for three years."

When Xiao Yao heard Tian Youyou's clear answer, he smiled as warm as the spring breeze.

He gently held Tian Youyou in his arms.

The breeze blew gently, and both of their cheeks turned slightly red, with some nervousness and anxiety in their eyes.

Xiao Yao took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and placed a gentle kiss on Tian Youyou's forehead.

Although the kiss was as light as a feather, it contained the boy's deep affection.

Tian Youyou felt the warmth and softness of his lips, and a faint shyness and sweetness rose in her heart.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yao solemnly went to visit Tian Shounian and Jiang Xiuxiu with gifts.

The three people talked in the room for a long time. Finally, Xiao Yao came out and saluted to the two of them.

Then...

Xiao Yao got on the carriage and left Xiaohegou Village with Fang Sihai.

He just left like that, as suddenly as he came...suddenly.

In the past, Tian Youyou never thought anything of it when Xiao Yao was not around occasionally.

But after Xiao Yao's carriage disappeared at the entrance of the village, she felt empty in her heart.

Fortunately, she was busy with spring ploughing and had new brothers and sisters. Mr. Fan always pestered her for delicious food, which eased the sadness of separation.

The child grows fast and is already one month old in the blink of an eye.

That day, Zhu Gong came back from the fields and brought a piece of news.

It is said that there are bugs on the leaves of the beans.

Tian Youyou went over to check and found the bug that Zhu Gong mentioned.

Green, plump...

"What a fat bug." Xiao Jin flapped his wings and pounced on it.

The green insect fell to the ground and finally fell into Xiaojin's stomach.

"Baji, baji, so delicious." Xiao Jin was still not satisfied with the meal and started looking under the bean leaves.

"Youyou, don't worry. I'll go find some of my kind and they'll eat all these bugs up in no time."
