Someone asked his friends, "Who is she? Why is she thanking He Xiucai?"

"I don't know him, but it looks like he has a special relationship with Mr. He."

When He Tian saw that the girls were stopped by Li Lian'er, he withdrew and stood outside the yard.

He Tian was not around, so he didn't know what Li Lian'er said. Someone curiously asked Li Lian'er, "Who are you? What's your relationship with He Xiucai?"

Li Lianer smiled and said, "I am Brother Tian's cousin. I have liked Brother Tian since I was a child. I also knew that Brother Tian would definitely pass the imperial examination and become a scholar. I also believe that Brother Tian will be able to pass the imperial examination and become a top scholar in the future. I have been by Brother Tian's side taking care of him these past few days."

A little girl in her teens stood up and pointed at Li Lian'er unhappily and said, "You're talking nonsense. I'm Cousin Tian's cousin, and Cousin Tian only has me as his cousin."

Everyone looked at the two people curiously, and someone asked the little girl, "Whose cousin are you?"

The little girl said proudly, "I am Lin Xiaoxiao, the cousin of cousin Tian's uncle."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Li Lian'er and asked, "Where are you from? I've never seen you before."

Li Lian'er calmed herself down and said, "I am the niece of Brother Tian's great aunt, so I am also Brother Tian's cousin!"

Someone covered their mouth and laughed, "It's really funny. Your aunt and uncle have nothing to do with Brother Tian's family, and you still call her your cousin. How shameless."

Li Lian'er didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "I called myself your cousin just to make Brother Tian feel more at home. Forget it, I won't say any more. I have to go to the kitchen to see if the soup I made for Brother Tian is ready."

Li Lian'er left gracefully. Someone asked, "Is she just living in Mr. He's house like this? Could she be his daughter-in-law?"

Li Xiuer said behind them, "She has been staying at He Xiucai's house these past few days. I see they are as warm and friendly as a family. I'm afraid you are too late."

Li Xiuer's words made them all disappointed, and they went to play on their own without interest.

Zhang the Hunter's family and He Youren's family arrived at the same time. Several adults were chatting in front while carrying the things they had prepared.

He Yue and He Hua were following behind. Hunter Zhang asked He Youren, "He Da, you should be willing to give the meat I asked He Hua to send to Xiaoyue. That elk meat is very nutritious, and it is what Xiaoyue deserves."

He Youren and his wife were puzzled. He Youren asked, "What elk meat? When was it given to us? We have never seen it before!"

Hunter Zhang naturally knew that He Youren would not lie, so he turned around and called He Hua, "He Hua, did you deliver the meat I asked you to give to Xiaoyue yesterday?"

He Hua immediately replied, "I did. They weren't home, so I hung it on the wall outside their door. Dad, I'm telling the truth."

He Yue stepped forward and said, "Uncle Zhang, Sister He Hua must have given it to Xiaoyue. Maybe it was taken away by a stray dog ​​or an eagle, or maybe someone else took it. Thank you, Uncle Zhang. It's just a piece of meat. It's gone, so forget it. Next time, Uncle Zhang finds a better one, you can give Xiaoyue a piece."

Hunter Zhang laughed and said, "Okay, I will."

The few of them continued walking, and no one noticed He Hua's hurt expression. Although no one blamed her, she just felt that everyone believed her.

He Yue pulled her, and she smiled bitterly to hide her unhappiness.

He Tian saw He Yue and the others coming and happily stepped forward, "Uncle, Aunt, Uncle Zhang, thank you for coming. Please come in."

He Youren and the other two happily wished He Tian well. Li Guihua looked back at He Yue and followed He Youren into the yard.

He Tian came in front of He Yue. Da Zhuang stood beside He Yue and stared at He Tian. He Tian saluted Da Zhuang and the others first and said, "Brother, Brother Daniu, Sister He Hua, please come in."

Da Zhuang and Daniu both looked at He Tian with different eyes. He Hua smiled and said, "Congratulations to Tian Er for passing the exam."

"Thank you, Sister He Hua."

He Hua supported Daniu and said, "Husband, let's go in first!"

Da Niu glanced at He Yue, nodded, and went in with the help of He Hua.

Xiao Zhuang happily took He Tian's hand and said, "Brother Tian, ​​congratulations."

He Tian smiled and touched Xiao Zhuang's head. "Thank you, Xiao Zhuang."

He Yue took out a brush from her bag that she had taken from the space and gave it to He Tian, ​​"This is for you. I hope you can always pass the exam."

He Tian took the pen and said happily, "You made this by yourself? Thank you, Yue'er. I will definitely work hard."

Da Zhuang coughed and said, "Sister, let's go in quickly!"

He Yue followed Dazhuang, and He Tian looked at the brush in his hand from behind, feeling extremely happy. He carefully put the brush in his arms.

Then he followed and greeted He Yue and the others warmly. A girl saw that He Tian was gentle and considerate to a girl.

Someone asked curiously, "Who is that girl? Why does He Xiucai care so much about her? He Xiucai didn't treat us like this just now."

When Yang saw her grandson following He Yue, she frowned, but she didn't pay any attention because there were so many people around.

Li Xiuer, who was among a group of girls, kindly introduced, "That's my celebrity, He Yue. She's amazing, but she's the apple of He Xiucai's eye."

Some people didn't believe it. "Are you serious? Aren't they cousins? And she's the one He Xiucai likes. What about that girl called Lian'er?"

Li Xiuer explained, "This He Yue was picked up, they are not cousins. As for Li Lian'er, she is just like you, she wants to marry a scholar."

Several girls who were listening to the gossip rolled their eyes at Li Xiuer, but they were more thinking that there would be a good show to watch today, and were even more curious about who He Xiucai would choose.

None of them paid attention to Li Xiuer's mockery of them, and Li Xiuer also looked like she was enjoying the fun.

The gifts from each family filled up half of the main room, including vegetables, fruits, eggs, dried vegetables, pickled vegetables, meat, various flours, etc.

Several women were busy in the kitchen, while the men and children were outside drinking water and chatting.

When Li Lian'er came out of the kitchen to get something from the main room, she saw He Tian and He Yue sitting together chatting.

Li Lian'er looked at He Yue with resentment, took a deep breath, and went to get something.

There was a note with the family’s name on the gift they received. She saw that one of the packages of dried mushrooms had the name He Youren written on it.

She picked up the dried mushrooms, pretended to go to the backyard to fetch water, found a deserted place, and threw some dried mushrooms.

I randomly broke off some branches and dried wild mushrooms from the dry firewood pile in the backyard.

Finally, she took it back to the main room and put it away. As soon as she left, Li Xiuer saw Li Lianer secretly putting something away and followed her to take a look.

Li Xiuer found out that it was a note sent by He Yue's family, so she took it and went to the kitchen, and casually threw the note into the corner.

There were people coming and going in the kitchen, and no one noticed each other at all, just thinking they were there to help.

Moreover, Li Xiuer's mother, Aunt Wang, was also helping to light the fire in the kitchen. As a result, someone who didn't know what was going on took some of the dried mushrooms, washed them, and put them in the pot.
