Of course, the reason why Yan Zhennan mentioned this to Qiao Qingyun was because Chu Xiao took out the wild fruit at an inappropriate time.

Instead of letting Qiao Qingyun speculate, it would be better for him to clear up his doubts first and also show his attitude.

As the night grew deeper, Yan Zhennan saw that Qiao Qingyun was feeling a little sleepy, and fearing that he would catch a cold if he stayed outside all the time, he took him back into the house.

But once they entered the yard, without the occasional crackling of firewood, some sounds could be clearly heard by the two.

Yan Zhennan quickened his pace. He did not listen to his elder brother's hobbies.

Qiao Qingyun also blushed a little, muttering to himself, "Don't look at or listen to anything indecent."

When the two returned to the room, Xiaobei was already sleeping like a pig. Yan Zhennan exhaled: "I think you can build the house a little further away."

Qiao Qingyun: "I think we should build a brick house."

It can block out some sound.

Tired, he felt even more sleepy. Yan Zhenshen covered his husband with the quilt and gently stroked his back: "Go to sleep."

Chu Xiao yawned: "Second brother and the others have returned to their room."

It's hard not to hear the heavy and rapid footsteps, but it's a critical moment and you can't control it. Just listen to it, we have all been through it.

"Yeah." Yan Zhenshen responded, "It's okay, I'll watch over you, you go to sleep."

Chu Xiao took a look at him and found himself indeed tired and sleepy, so he snuggled into Yan Zhenshen's arms, wrapped his arms around the man's strong waist, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Yan Zhenshen continued to stroke his husband's smooth back and smiled silently.

Chu Xiao was awakened by the sound of firecrackers outside. He opened his eyes and yawned, and found that Yan Zhenshen was not there.

It was not yet fully light outside. He turned over and lay on the pillow, opening and closing his eyes. After waiting for a while, he saw Yan Zhenshen open the door and come in.

She squatted down and kissed her husband's forehead: "Go back to sleep, it's still early."

"Don't you want to sleep?" Chu Xiao pulled Yan Zhenshen's arm and dragged him to the kang: "I want to sleep in your arms."

Yan Zhenshen agreed with a smile, took off his coat and got into bed: "Go to sleep quickly, you have to get up in half an hour."

According to farmers' custom, you cannot stay in bed on the first day of the New Year and you must get up early, which means you can be one step ahead of others throughout the year.

The first day of the New Year is the fifth watch, and the second day of the New Year is the sun.

But no one really gets up at five o'clock. Someone can set off firecrackers, but most people still get up at daybreak. (The fifth watch is between three and five o'clock.)

At daybreak, Zhao Guizhi got up, boiled some hot water, and knocked on every door.

Being woken up by my mother probably only happens once a year. No one stayed in bed. Everyone changed into new clothes and went out.

No new rice is cooked on the first day of the New Year. Instead, people eat the New Year's Eve dinner left over from yesterday, which means that last year's food cannot be eaten up. This is what it means to have surplus every year.

Yan Zhenshen and Yan Zhennan are too old to wear fancy colors, so they both wore black shorts. Chu Xiao, on the other hand, was different from before, wearing a light green short jacket and dark green skirt, with a colorful tassel belt tied around her waist.

He didn't know how to comb his hair, so he kept it in a high ponytail and tied it with a blue headband.

This was the first time he dressed himself up like a local boy except after his wedding.

As for his feelings, so much time has passed and he has long since adapted to his current identity.

Moreover, Chu Xiaoxiao looked androgynous. When he first arrived, he was skinny, his face was dark and yellow, and his hair was dry and rough. But after coming to the Yan family, he slept well, especially in winter. He went out less often, and it can be said that he not only gained weight, but also became very white.

It was just that I was disobedient before and didn't want to apply clam oil, so my face became a little chapped, but after applying it for a while, it's not that noticeable anymore.

As soon as they got out of the house, Zhao Guizhi kept praising the beauty of the flowers, but she felt that something was missing. After a long while, she slapped her thigh and said, "Mom will get you two silk flowers to take with you."

Chu Xiao waved her hand when she heard this. She could wear a jacket or skirt, but forget about wearing flowers.

But Zhao Guizhi did not stop, she took a few small silk flowers and pinned them in Chu Xiao's hair.

"That's right, this is how it looks." He looked it up and down and nodded with satisfaction.

Farm wives and young men are different from those who live in the county town. Generally, they don’t dress up deliberately. After all, there are so many things to do inside and outside the house, and no matter how well they dress up, they will still be covered in dust at the end of the day.

"Yeah, it looks good." Yan Zhenshen also praised it.

Chu Xiao pursed his lips. Since Brother Shen liked it, he would wear it.

As they were talking, Yan Zhennan and the others came out of the house. Qiao Qingyun was wearing a light blue robe, her hair was half tied up and she wore a hair crown, and there was even a flower painted on her forehead.

Qiao Qingyun's face is very handsome against the backdrop of the pale pink plum blossoms. If you ignore everything else and only look at this face, it is not an exaggeration to call him a young man.

Since ancient times, it is not only men who like colors. Women and boys will subconsciously take a few more glances at beautiful ones, regardless of gender.

Not to mention Chu Xiao and Yan Sanmei, even Zhao Guizhi was stunned and said with a sigh: "This Qingyun is really..."

I want to praise it but I don't know what words to use, so I can only sigh: "It looks good, it's all good."

Yan Zhennan smiled proudly: "It looks good, right? I drew it."

You know, when he just finished the painting, he wanted to throw the person directly onto the kang, but there was Yan Zhenbei in the room who was curious, so he could only think about it.

Qiao Qingyun felt a little embarrassed. He smiled shyly and quickly went to the kitchen. Yan Zhennan originally wanted to paint this flower on his forehead. Now that it has been painted and everyone has seen it, he might as well wash it off quickly.

"I'll help you wash." Yan Zhennan quickly followed.

Yan Zhenbei chuckled when he saw people leaving. Yan Sanmei patted him and asked, "Why are you laughing so secretly?"

Yan Zhenbei lowered his voice and said, "Second brother just stood there motionless after drawing a figure for Brother Qingyun. He only reacted after Brother Qingyun kicked him. He looked like a fool."

Yan Sanmei curled her lips and said, "Hasn't my second brother always been quite stupid?"

Yan Zhennan stuck his head out of the kitchen at this time, "Third sister, I heard it."

Yan Sanmei stamped her feet in anger: "How could you eavesdrop on other people's conversations?"

"You spoke too loudly."

Yan Zhennan responded to his third sister's words with a snapping head gesture: "If you say something bad about your second brother, wait and see how I'll deal with you later."

Yan Zhenbei stepped back. Fortunately, he lowered his voice so no one heard him, otherwise his second brother would definitely deal with him first.

Zhao Guizhi shook her head and said with a smile, "Okay, go wash up, we'll have dinner soon."

Yan Zhennan then retracted his head and noticed Qiao Qingyun's gaze. He smiled and said, "I was just teasing her."

"That's better." Qiao Qingyun said lightly.

Yan Zhennan was dissatisfied: "Hey, it's fine that mom and brother-in-law spoil her, but I noticed that you are also protecting her?"

"Because he is your third sister."

Yan Zhennan pondered over this sentence, his ears turned red, and he bumped Qiao Qingyun with his shoulder, "Is this loving someone and loving his dog?"

"You can understand that."

Qiao Qingyun did not deny it. The main reason was indeed because this was Yan Zhennan's sister, but another part of the reason was that he thought of his own sister.

It is not easy for girls and boys to live in this world, and they will eventually get married and have children. The most carefree days of their lives should only be these few years.
