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

Listening to Zhao Ze's simple words, Shi Yan couldn't help but slightly raised her eyebrows. She was definitely touched, but when she heard that Zhao Ze was planning to give her all his parents' things, she couldn't help but feel happy.

Shi Yan only felt her face burning, and there were two blushes on her cheeks, she didn't know whether it was from trying to hold back a smile or from shyness. Anyway, in Zhao Ze's eyes, he felt that his sweetheart was extremely beautiful, and that blush was like a sunset, intoxicating, and he was infatuated with her at the first sight.

The distance between the two people gradually narrowed, and just when Zhao Ze was about to kiss her, the courtyard door that was closed tightly by Zhao Ze was pushed open with great force, and hit the wall with inertia, making a "pong" sound.

The loud noise broke the ambiguous atmosphere between the two people in the yard, and the two people jumped away quickly as if they were electrocuted. However, although they separated quickly enough, their situation just now was still clearly seen by the visitor.

"Aunt, my brother Ze is not here. I think I should come back tomorrow..."

Upon learning that his boss had returned, Shuanzi had originally planned to come back after dinner just to ask his boss how his trip was and to gain some new experiences at the same time.

But now it seemed that he was in trouble. Looking at the wide eyes of Liu Cuimiao who followed him behind, his legs began to tremble.

"Mom, why are you here? Is there something you want to talk to me and Xiaolian about?"

Zhao Ze took a step forward and protected Shi Yan behind him. He first glared at his younger brother, then turned his gaze to his mother who was staring at him.

"Cough~cough~"

Liu Cuimiao first coughed twice, adjusted her expression, then looked at the familiar ring in Zhao Ze's hand, and then put on a smile again.

"You little bastard, why don't you tell me what's going on? If you dare to do anything bad to Xiaolian, I'll beat you to death!"

"Come, Xiaolian, come over to your aunt. Don't be afraid of this brat. I will take care of it for you."

If Liu Cuimiao's attitude towards Zhao Ze was as ruthless as a knife, then her attitude towards Shi Yan was as warm as the spring morning light. Her originally formulaic smile also spread to her eyes, and it was so gentle.

"Mom, I like Xiaolian. I want to marry her. I have saved up the money for her. I was just about to give our heirloom to Xiaolian. I didn't expect that you would come at the critical moment."

Zhao Ze shook the gold ring on his hand. He was excited and nervous at the moment. He didn't notice the flash of disgust in his mother's eyes when she saw the gold ring, and the small action of taking a step back.

"Xiao Lian, is what Zhao Ze said true?"

Under the expectant gaze of the Zhao mother and son, Shi Yan nodded shyly.

The next second after Shi Yan nodded, she was suddenly hugged by the person in front of her and then thrown up with force.

"Mom, Xiaolian promised me, and I'm going to have a wife!!!"

Zhao Ze was extremely excited, thinking that they would be a family in the future, and there would be no outsiders present. He no longer felt shy or embarrassed when he confessed his love for the first time. He just wanted everyone to know that Xiaolian would be his wife in the future.

Shi Yan didn't want to spoil the fun, so she let him toss her around for a while with a red face before patting Zhao Ze's strong shoulders and asking him to put her down.

"Aunt, you all know my situation. Although Brother Zhi and I are married in name only, it is a recent funeral after all. If Zhao Ze can wait, I want to wait for a full year before proposing marriage. Do you think that's okay?"

"Okay, of course. A good girl will never have trouble finding a husband. I originally thought that this brat of mine had no chance of finding a wife, but now... hehe, this can only be called fate!"

"Don't worry, your uncle and aunt will take care of everything. Just do what you need to do peacefully. I promise to help you arrange everything well. If others have enough to marry a daughter-in-law, we will have even more."

"Anyway, your uncle and I are the only ones like this. From now on, all the things in the house will be left to you. No need to save them!"

Knowing that her son's marriage was a sure thing, Liu Cuimiao, who had been busy all day, was no longer tired. She pulled Shuanzi, who had been a background board for a long time, and walked out, muttering:

"Come on, come on, there are a lot of things to do at home, you guys should be busy, don't go back and cause trouble..."

Liu Cuimiao and Shuanzi came in a hurry and left in a hurry, and there were only two people left in the yard again.

"Xiao Lian, the food is getting cold, I'll go heat it up for you, go sit down for a while."

Zhao Ze moved quickly. He handed the ring to Shi Yan and went to work at the stove.

"Take it and play with it. It will be ready soon."

Shi Yan took the heavy gold ring and tossed it on her hand, but ultimately did not put it on. Instead, she touched a budding flower on the wall beside her, and then her hand was empty.

If someone was watching at this time, they would find that the flower bud that Shi Yan had touched had now completely closed, and no one would have guessed that there was a gold ring hidden in the bud.

.................

Leisurely days always pass quickly. After a one-month "New Year holiday", Taohua Village once again welcomed the busy farming season, and most of the villagers were involved in spring ploughing.

"Xiao Lian, my parents and I are going to the fields. I won't be back at noon. I'll be back to accompany you as soon as I finish my work in the fields."

Ever since Zhao Ze and Shi Yan confirmed their relationship, he wished he could stay with his sweetheart every moment of every day. Even the New Year's Eve dinner was eaten in Shi Yan's courtyard. However, it is the busy farming season now, and there is a lot of work to do in the fields. He is also about to be the head of the family, so things will naturally be different from before. He is certainly reluctant to leave.

"Go ahead, but don't be too tired. I'm an adult now, and I don't need anyone to accompany me. Just work hard, and I'll go to the fields to bring water to you and your uncle and aunt at noon."

As Shi Yan spoke, she touched Zhao Ze's head and then sent the reluctant man away.

Shi Yan had nothing to do with the busy farming season. She came to the village for special reasons. She got married as soon as she arrived, and then became a widow. In addition, she separated from the Liang family and set up her own household, so no one could take care of her.

Everyone in the village knew that Shi Yan made money from selling ginseng and could support herself even without earning work points, so she was happy to have a leisurely life. Going to the fields to deliver water and food was nothing, and it also allowed her to show off in front of the villagers.

Shi Yan's family has always had good food, especially right after the Chinese New Year, when there was more food in stock at home. She made peanut crisps with the peanuts stimulated by her supernatural powers, boiled some water, calculated the time to get off work at noon, and went to the fields with her things.

This was her first time to go to the place where the villagers worked. Along the way, she met many villagers who had finished work early and went home to cook. She asked as she walked, and following the direction pointed by the village aunt, she finally saw a tall and strong figure bending over and working hard to pound the ground.

Shi Yan walked lightly, walked behind the man and patted him: "You've been busy all morning, why don't you take a break!"
