Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

The next morning, every household in the village got up and prepared to go to the fields to work. Widow Wang was the same. She got up a little earlier than usual today so that she could not let her precious son go to the fields to work.

However, as soon as Widow Wang opened the door and stepped out, she stepped on a pile of strange-feeling things. Then her feet slipped and she fell out.

Widow Wang was still a little sleepy, but she was completely awakened by the slip. However, it was too late. She fell to the ground, screaming.

The only thing to be thankful for was that her head did not fall directly on the ground, but instead fell on the pile of sour-smelling things, which provided some cushioning.

She lay on the pile of dirt, humming "ouch ouch" for a long time until the sky was completely bright, and then she was discovered by Liang Jiaxue who had got up.

The old saying that misfortunes last for a thousand years is not without truth. For example, Widow Wang fell and couldn't get up. Finally, the village doctor came to check and found that it was only her shoulder and ankle that were dislocated. She would be fine after resting for a while. However, the embarrassing way she fell was seen by everyone in the village, which was a great joke.

The instigator of the whole incident stayed up until midnight yesterday in order to cause such a scene today. He first went to Shuanzi's house to steal manure, and then went to Widow Wang's house to set up the scene. He is still catching up on his sleep in the house now. It was not until noon when Village Chief Zhao and Liu Cuimiao came back from the fields that he was awakened by Liu Cuimiao's voice mocking Wang Qiuhong's miserable plight.

"Mom, what are we eating today?"

Zhao Ze was lying in the room when he heard his mother's laughter. He knew that his arrangement was successful, and he was in an extremely good mood. He even had a sense of pride when talking to Liu Cuimiao.

"I'm in a good mood today, so let's cook the half piece of meat Xiaolian gave me. I'll show off my cooking skills today and make a dish of braised pork. Go wash it quickly, and when I'm done, serve it in a bowl and send it to the next door!"

Liu Cuimiao had a smile on her face and she kept humming a little tune while cooking. She couldn't hide her joy at all. She didn't notice that Zhao Ze had an unnatural expression on his face when he heard that he had to go to the next door to deliver food.

It seems that he did something to flirt with his sister-in-law yesterday. Although he fooled his mother, his sister-in-law was the person involved and must have noticed his intention at the time.

Although Zhao Ze was worried in his heart, he did not act carelessly. He first took a cold shower, then went back to the house to take out his treasured hair wax and gave himself a neat hairstyle. Finally, he picked out a new set of clothes made this year and went into the kitchen neatly dressed.

"Mom, is the braised pork ready? I'll send it to my sister-in-law next door."

"Okay, okay, I'll serve it right away."

Liu Cuimiao moved quickly and served a large bowl of braised potatoes and pork. She turned around and saw Zhao Ze, who was dressed up carefully.

"Oh my god, what are you doing? You have a crappy son-in-law. Aren't you hot in these long sleeves and long pants? Why did I give birth to such a fool like you?"

"What a crappy son-in-law! I have something else to do later!"

Zhao Ze was laughed at by his mother. He snatched the bowl of food in anger and went to the next room.

At this time, Shi Yan was already eating. Hearing a slight knock on the door outside the yard, she habitually used her supernatural powers to check before opening the door.

"Sister-in-law, my mother asked me to bring you some food so you can taste her cooking."

As soon as Zhao Ze saw the courtyard door open, he immediately extended the hand holding the dish forward. A strong aroma of meat hit his face. Shi Yan swallowed subconsciously and looked at the tempting braised pork in the bowl, her eyes lit up.

"Then please help me thank my aunt, and I won't be shy."

Shi Yan stretched out her hand to take the bowl, which was a very normal action. However, when Shi Yan grabbed the edge of the bowl and tried to take it back, she found that Zhao Ze held the bowl tightly. If she used too much force, the food in the bowl would definitely spill.

"Zhao Ze, does your aunt have anything else to say to me?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I was distracted just now. Sister-in-law, you can take this dish. I will go back now."

Zhao Ze still didn't feel comfortable bringing up what happened yesterday. Seeing that Shi Yan didn't seem to have any unnatural expression, he stuffed the thing to the person in front of him, turned around and hurried back home. As for his outfit today, Shi Yan, who was completely attracted by the braised pork, didn't notice it at all.

Zhao Ze felt a little frustrated when he returned home. He didn't understand the reason for his frustration, but he really wanted to stay with his sister-in-law for a while longer, but he was afraid that she would ask him about what happened yesterday.

The Zhao family of three sat around the table eating. Although the food was delicious, Zhao Ze had no taste for it. He quickly finished a bowl of rice and got up to go back to his room.

"Didn't you say you had something to do? Why are you going into the room again?" Liu Cuimiao was a little puzzled when she saw Zhao Ze was about to go back to the room.

"never mind!"

"Hey! This kid is so grown up but still has no sense of self-determination. He even lost his temper at me."

No one understood Zhao Ze's troubles. He was longing to stay with Shi Yan for a while longer. However, because of Widow Wang's matter, Shi Yan planned to avoid suspicion and had less contact with Zhao Ze recently.

Shi Yan's unilateral avoidance lasted for about a month. The wheat in the village was harvested and the villagers had a brief respite.

After October, the weather had turned cooler. Shi Yan planned to go into the city again to buy some thick clothes, so she had to borrow an ox cart again.

But this time there was no need to ask Liu Cuimiao for help, Shi Yan went to Shuanzi's house by herself.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here? Is there anything you need my help with?"

Shuanzi still remembered what his eldest brother said. He called the word "sister-in-law" particularly smoothly and loudly, which made Shi Yan, who was caught off guard, tremble with fear.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I was born with a loud voice, please don't blame me."

Shi Yan reached out and rubbed her eyes, which were already filled with tears, and then waved her hands.

"It's okay. I'm here to borrow the oxcart today. Now that the weather is getting cold, I want to go to the city and buy some thick clothes and bedding."

"Of course it's okay for my sister-in-law to borrow it. Anyway, there is no work in the fields these days and no one needs the cow."

Shi Yan: "Then I don't know how to drive a bullock cart, could you please give me a ride? I bought a lot of things and need someone to help me carry them. I can pack a meal."

"Hey, sister-in-law, this is a small matter, isn't it just driving a bullock cart? Of course......"

“Cough cough cough cough…”

Before Shuanzi could finish his promise, a cough suddenly came from the yard, interrupting his words.
