After Lu Chengxue paid the money, she turned around and left. Chu Xiao was still staring at her back. This girl was pretty and must be the granddaughter of a scholar.

Isn't that the girl that Zhang Yiju had seen before? She may not be as good-looking as Chu Wanwan, but her aura is definitely better than ten Chu Wanwans. She is the template of a lady from a noble family.

After the others left, Zhao Guizhi bought a piece of bacon from the butcher. Since all the bacon was kept inside, Zhao Guizhi followed in to choose.

Chu Xiao did not follow in, but stood outside waiting. The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon and he was a little thirsty, but he did not think of bringing water when he came out. He licked his dry lips.

Just as I was thinking whether I should go in and ask the butcher for a glass of water, I saw Lu Chengxue coming back with a covered basket in her hand. "Just now I saw that my brother's lips were dry. I think he was thirsty. The sun is strong and it is easy to get hot. I made some mung bean soup this morning and wanted to bring some to uncle. Can you have a bowl?"

Chu Xiao: “…” Honestly speaking, if this guy’s thing wasn’t really useless, he might have narcissistically thought that this girl liked him, but I think even if she did, she would probably just treat him as a sister.

"Thank you, young lady." Chu Xiao took the bowl, took a sip and drank it.

Lu Chengxue pursed her lips tightly, she wanted to laugh, and she almost couldn't maintain her expression. This guy seemed a little wild.

The reason why she came back was because she knew that young men's lives were difficult, especially those who had been married for a short time.

There is a mother-in-law at home who suppresses and sets the rules. If the husband likes her, it's fine, but if he doesn't like her, he may be worse than a servant.

Just now, I saw that this young girl had dry lips, but she didn't dare to open her mouth to ask for a glass of water. When I thought that I would become someone else's wife in the future, and didn't know what the situation would be like, I felt some pity for her. I also hope that if she encounters difficulties in the future, someone can help her, even if it is just out of sincere consolation.

Chu Xiao handed the bowl back, and as if he had thought of something, he took out two large bones from the backpack, wrapped them in banana leaves and handed them to Lu Chengxue: "I heard just now that you wanted to make soup with large bones. We bought a lot, so I'll give you two."

"No." Lu Xue shook her head and said, "I know you mean well, but if you get punished by your mother-in-law when you get home, I will feel uneasy."

"Who punished me?" Chu Xiao said with a smile: "Are you talking about my mother? No, my mother loves me very much. Let alone two bones, she wouldn't scold me even if I gave you all my meat."

Lu Chengxue was skeptical. Could it be that she had misunderstood? "Is that aunt your biological mother?"

Chu Xiao shook his head: "But she is better than my own mother."

"Young man is so lucky." Lu Chengxue had to admit that she was a little envious. Ever since her grandfather started to find a partner for her, she had only hoped to find a reasonable family. It didn't matter if they were rich or poor, noble or humble, as long as they were willing to treat her sincerely.

Chu Xiao felt that what she said was right. He was indeed lucky to run into the Yan family, so he responded without any modesty: "I think so too. By the way, my name is Chu Xiao. What's your name, young lady?"

"Chu Xiao?" Lu Chengxue had never expected that the person in front of her was the person who had been the subject of recent rumors.

"Girl knows me?"

Lu Chengxue nodded generously: "Occasionally I hear the aunties in the village mention that Brother Chu has had many adventures."

Chu Xiao was amused by the word "adventure", "Are you saying that my personality changed drastically after being struck by lightning?"

"I guess Brother Chu must have been reborn from the dead and gained enlightenment."

Chu Xiao felt that this girl was really good at talking, so he wanted to tease her: "What if I disrespect my uncle and aunt and cut off all contact with them?"

"Be decisive and resolute in doing things."

Chu Xiao laughed out loud, "Are you praising me? Don't you think I'm an ungrateful person?"

Lu Chengxue shook her head: "Brother Chu is decisive and daring. His courage and bravery are no less than that of men. Cheng Xue can only admire him."

Zhao Guizhi, who heard Chu Xiao's laughter, came out and heard this. She smiled and said, "This girl is right. I wonder if we can get married. Have you met the man?"

After the eldest son got married and the family had some extra money, Zhao Guizhi began to think about the marriage of her second son.

Lu Chengxue lowered her head in embarrassment: "No, not yet."

Seeing her embarrassment, Chu Xiao interrupted her and said, "You still don't know the girl's full name?"

"My daughter Lu Xue."

Chu Xiao chatted with Lu Chengxue for a while longer. The butcher's husband and Zhao Guizhi also drank the mung bean soup she brought over, and they all praised her cooking skills.

Chu Xiao handed the pork bone to her. Lu Chengxue wanted to refuse again, but Zhao Guizhi forced it into her hand.

She did not refuse, and even pointed to the direction of the house so that Chu Xiao could come to her house to do needlework when he had nothing to do.

Chu Xiao didn't know how to sew, but he didn't want to offend Lu Chengxue, so he agreed.

After buying everything, Yan Zhenshen and Chu Xiao went up the mountain again early the next morning.

This time they didn't bring Taxue with them. Although it was not Yan Zhennan's first time to go to the mountain, he was not familiar with the road after all. Having a hunting dog to lead him would prevent him from getting lost.

Chu Xiao brought more things this time, and even bought a large water tank and placed it next to the cultivated medicinal field, so that it could be irrigated at any time. The rest were some miscellaneous things, but he didn't have to take them all out, he could just put them directly in his space and take whatever he needed.

Chu Xiao took out the quilt to dry as usual and took the sheets to the river to wash. He was not a germaphobe, but he just didn't like the moldy smell of the quilt.

When he came back after washing the sheets, Yan Zhenshen also swept the fallen leaves in the yard. Because Yan Zhennan was going up the mountain in a few days, he also tidied up the east room.

The east room is much bigger than the west room, so there is no problem with four or five people sleeping on the kang. Just wash the bamboo mat, dry it in the sun and then you can sleep on it. As for quilts, people who go out to work usually bring their own.

It was already mid-afternoon when Chu Xiao finished packing up. He went to take a look at the vegetable patch in front of the yard. Many vegetables had already sprouted. In another ten days or half a month, there would be tender little vegetables to eat.

Yan Zhenshen would not go hunting on the first day in the mountains. Since there was nothing to do anyway, he took some clean clothes and asked Chu Xiao to go take a bath in the river while the sun was shining.

Yan Zhenshen no longer feels shy about taking a bath together, and even enjoys rubbing her husband's back.

Now she eats well, sleeps well, and has her husband hug her every night. This is the life Yan Zhenshen never dared to imagine before. It is solid, sweet and comfortable, so this bath really turns into a couple's bath.

Originally, he just wanted to have a taste, but his husband was so bold and clingy that he couldn't let go for a while. Besides, they both behaved well at home in the past few days and didn't dare to make too much noise. How could this wolf, who had just tasted the meat, resist the temptation of meat?

The sun slowly sets in the west.

The mountain breeze always makes people feel cool and comfortable. Occasionally, suppressed calls can be heard from the sound of flowing springs, startling the birds resting in the trees, and they flap their wings and fly away from the area.
