Quick Wear: The saints are too miserable, the host will never be soft-hearted

Chapter 169 The whole village fled famine, the stepson sincerely repented 20

Lu Yi held a bunch of hair ties in her hand, red, green, blue, all kinds of colors, enough to wear for half a month without repeating the same one.

Lu Yi handed it to Zhang Caiwei and said, "I went to the city today and saw this beautiful hairband. It will definitely look better on you, so I'm giving it to you."

Seeing the pile of brightly colored hairbands in colors and styles she had never seen before, Zhang Caiwei opened her mouth in surprise.

"So many hair ties! So pretty! Um... why did you buy so many? It's such a waste. I only need one."

She raised her hand to pick one, but she was overwhelmed and couldn't make a good choice. She thought each one was beautiful and she liked them all.

While she was hesitating, Lu Yi held her hand, put the hairband in her palm, and quickly let go.

"I bought them all for you. They're all yours."

Zhang Caiwei held the hair tie at a loss, her face as red as a ripe persimmon on a tree. After a long silence, she stammered, "...Thank you for the hair tie."

"You're welcome." Lu Yi said with a smile.

The two of them just stood there. Lu Yi didn't know what to say. She heard Zhang Caiwei and Liu Xiaomiao chatting. The girl had been waiting for a whole morning and had only seen them for a few minutes. She didn't want to leave.

Zhang Caiwei had too much to say, but she blamed herself for not being reserved enough. She tossed and turned and couldn't think of what to say first.

The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and Zhang Caiwei calmed down.

Her slender fingers twirled her braids, and she pursed her lips and said, "Lu Yi, I didn't expect you to really come and really think of me! I really like these hair ties!"

"As long as you like it, I was worried that I would choose a color you wouldn't like." Lu Yi said, so she grabbed a handful.

"No, no, I like them all." Zhang Caiwei explained anxiously, then lowered her head shyly.

It was quiet again.

Lu Yi sighed lightly, thinking that she should just say go.

"Caiwei, your mother is waiting for you to come home for lunch!"

A shout came from where Zhang Caiwei was running. The two people standing together were startled and felt inexplicably guilty.

"Well, my dad is calling me, I'll go back to eat first." Zhang Caiwei pointed.

"Okay." Lu Yi nodded while suppressing a smile.

When I turned around, I could still hear the conversation between Zhang Caiwei and Zhang the Butcher.

"Still looking? Everyone's gone. What did I give you? Let Dad have a look, too."

"Dad! What are you talking about?" Zhang Caiwei's voice was a little embarrassed, and she put her hands behind her back to prevent him from looking.

"Okay, Dad won't watch it. Let's go back and eat." Butcher Zhang said with a smile, and turned to look at Lu Yi's back.

"This kid still has some thoughts about you."

Lu Yi raised her hands to cover her face, feeling a little embarrassed. If Liang Sulan hadn't reminded her, she really wouldn't have remembered it.

On days when the village did not organize group hunting, Lu Yi was not idle either.

One day, Lu Yi came down from the mountain and was winked at by the little bald man at the foot of the mountain.

"Your eye is twitching?" Lu Yi asked in confusion.

The little bald man gave up blinking, but his mouth was still grinning. "Someone's waiting for you over there. Oh! You've got a good catch today. Everyone else goes up the mountain every day, but you're the only one who manages to come back empty-handed every now and then."

Lu Yi picked up the rabbit in his hand and said, "You are talking about this. Good luck. I won't tell you anymore."

The person waiting for her was Zhang Caiwei, who was pulling weeds out of boredom.

"Caiwei." Lu Yi called out, thinking that she had come at the right time. She caught two rabbits today, one for each family.

"Lu Yi, this is the purse I embroidered for you. Here are two flowers. Do you like them?"

Zhang Caiwei stared at Lu Yi with sparkling eyes and handed over a white and green purse with both hands.

"It's really beautiful, I like it." Lu Yi took it with one hand and stroked the pattern on it with his fingers. The flowers embroidered purely by hand were lifelike.

"By the way, this rabbit is for you." Lu Yi put the purse away, took out a pure white rabbit, and hung it in the air by its ears.

"Ah." Zhang Caiwei was slightly surprised.

"Don't worry, these are not organized by the village, they are our own." Seeing that she didn't answer, Lu Yi explained.

Zhang Caiwei still kept her head down and refused to reach out to take it.

Lu Yi looked into the eyes of the struggling rabbit and suddenly realized something: "Do you like gray rabbits? Here you go."

Lu Yi quickly changed the rabbit and put it in front of Zhang Caiwei.

"Brother Lu, do you dislike me?"

Zhang Caiwei looked up, her eyes visibly red, and looked at Lu Yi stubbornly, waiting for an answer.

"No, how could that be!" Could it be that he had sent the wrong rabbit and was sending Liang Sulan's daughter-in-law away? Lu Yi's heart was beating fast, and he explained in a panic.

Zhang Caiwei saw Lu Yi's anxious expression and burst out laughing. She covered her face with the back of her hand and said vaguely, "Then...then why did you give me a rabbit soon after I gave you a purse? Aren't you trying to make sure we don't owe each other anything?"

"I got up early to hunt because I wanted to let you taste rabbit meat." Who would give rabbit meat to someone if they didn't owe each other anything? Wouldn't it be nice for her to keep it for herself?

"I misunderstood you... Thank you." Zhang Caiwei blushed and lowered her head to take the rabbit.

After watching Zhang Caiwei play with the rabbit for a while, Lu Yi suddenly said, "It's still early. How about I take you to the city for breakfast? There's a tofu stall there. Their tofu pudding is delicious!"

"really?"

"Yes! It's absolutely delicious." Lu Yi assured.

The two rabbits were sent to the Lu family and the Zhang family respectively. Finally, under the serious gaze of Zhang the Butcher, Lu Yi and Zhang Caiwei arrived at the city gate one after another.

"My dad didn't scare you, did he? I'll go back and tell him about it."

The girl's voice rang out, and Lu Yi shook his head and said, "I wasn't scared."

Butcher Zhang is a pig killer. Ever since she performed the trick of pressing a wild boar with her bare hands, he has never treated her nose as not a nose and eyes as not eyes again.

Today's seriousness was probably because he thought about the daughter he had raised with great effort was going to get married, and he was somewhat unhappy with Lu Yi.

"Where are the refugees?" Lu Yi looked across the empty corner of the city wall.

"The little baldy said that they all lined up over there, waiting to receive relief porridge."

Lu Yi looked over and could vaguely see the blurry roof of the porridge stall. Calculating the time, it should be that the grain from the court has been approved.

Doesn’t that mean that the famine is almost over?

Zhang Caiwei's eyes were filled with anticipation, and she whispered, "Once things are stable, the village head will definitely lead us back to Shangshui Village. My father said that once we get back to Shangshui Village, he will leave me alone."

Lu Yi understood and nodded, saying, "When we get back to Shangshui Village, my mother will ask Granny Tian from the west to come to your house for a visit."

Grandma Tian, ​​who lives in the west, has been working in the matchmaking industry for nearly twenty years. She has become very skilled in speaking English. The fact that she is willing to invite Grandma Tian to her home is enough to show how much she values ​​the woman. Zhang Caiwei has also thought of this.

She twirled her fingers and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Lu Yi took out the money for the city entrance fee and took Zhang Caiwei to have a hearty breakfast. They both returned home with full bellies.

As soon as Lu Yi entered the room, he met Liang Sulan's hesitant gaze.
