Shen Xiaoxia met Jiang Yan's gaze and subconsciously tightened the firewood in her hands. Her fingers turned slightly white from the force!

Only then did I realize why Han Zhuxin had done such a series of puzzling things just now!

She said, why is he suddenly so abnormal, waiting for her here?

When the others saw Shen Xiaoxia coming back, they all greeted her with a smile.

Shen Xiaoxia also responded with a smile!

Everyone's eyes moved back and forth between Shen Xiaoxia and Jiang Yan, with a meaningful glint in their eyes, and they all had a subtle expression as if they wanted to say something but stopped, and didn't want to laugh!

Everyone can guess Jiang Yan's attitude towards Shen Xiaoxia to some extent!

Facing everyone's inquiring and teasing gazes, Shen Xiaoxia didn't hesitate and walked over to Jiang Yan. "When did you come back?"

Jiang Yan stared into Shen Xiaoxia's eyes with a smile, his voice gentle, "Just got back yesterday!"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded gently, looking away from Jiang Yan, looking at the firewood in her hands, then raised her head and looked at Jiang Yan again, saying, "You chat with them for a while, I'll go back and put the things away first!"

The tone is calm and natural!

Jiang Yan's eyes followed Shen Xiaoxia's movements and fell on the firewood in her hand. He asked, "Do you need help?"

Shen Xiaoxia didn't have much firewood in her hands, so she shook her head and said, "No, no! It's not much, it's not heavy!"

After Han Zhuxin came in, she stood at the door to watch the show. Facing her playful gaze, Shen Xiaoxia glared at Han Zhuxin fiercely at an angle that no one could see!

Everyone has gone out, couldn't you tell her in advance?

Han Zhuxin was glared at, but the smile on her lips rose even higher!

He raised his eyebrows at Shen Xiaoxia, as if to say, how else can you watch the show?

Shen Xiaoxia snorted in her heart and said, just wait!

She opened the door and went into the house, carrying the firewood to the kitchen. She patted the wood chips off her body and felt a little relieved that she had gone to collect firewood.

Suddenly seeing Jiang Yan appear in the Youth League Home and facing the gazes of so many people, Shen Xiaoxia felt a little embarrassed, which was rare for her.

I didn't stay in the room for long. I drank half a glass of water, calmed myself down, and then went out again.

Jiang Yan, Hu Shixuan and others were standing a few steps between Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin's rooms and talking.

After work, Zhao Fan went to collect firewood. When he came back and saw Jiang Yan coming back, he came over and talked to everyone.

Zhao Lingling went to prepare dinner first.

Han Zhuxin knew that Shen Xiaoxia would come out again, and was afraid that she would feel embarrassed alone, so she stood at the door and listened to Jiang Yan and the others chatting.

After Shen Xiaoxia came out, Han Zhuxin came over to Shen Xiaoxia.

Han Zhuxin knew her limits and knew that now was not the time to make jokes, so she just stayed and listened to their conversation.

Shen Xiaoxia leaned against the wall with her arms folded, her eyes falling on Jiang Yan. She noticed that Jiang Yan's hair had been cut shorter, making him look neater and more refreshed!

It seems a little darker than before!

Come to think of it, it’s so hot today, it would be hard for them to avoid getting tanned if they run outside!

Jiang Yan was chatting enthusiastically with He Tingyuan and others, with a relaxed and happy smile on his face. Even so, his eyes would drift in the direction of Shen Xiaoxia from time to time.

Shen Xiaoxia met his gaze without avoiding it!

Knowing that everyone had to prepare dinner, Jiang Yan didn't interrupt them too much. "You still have to cook, right? I won't bother you anymore!"

He Tingyuan tried to persuade him to stay, "Why don't you eat here?"

Anyway, he can still afford to provide Jiang Yan with a meal!

Jiang Yan didn't want to trouble everyone, so with a grateful smile on his face, he declined, "Don't bother, it's not far away. I'll go back and eat, and then I'll come over to talk to you guys after I'm done!"

He Tingyuan heard him say that and thought it was okay, "Okay, then come over and play after you finish eating. We don't have to go to bed that early, so come over and let's chat together!"

Jiang Yan nodded in agreement, "Okay, come over after you finish eating!"

Hu Shixuan went back to the house, got a bottle of wine, and then followed Jiang Yan.

He Tingyuan and Xie Yunheng went back to cook.

Zhao Fan also returned to his room. While they were talking, Zhao Lingling had already prepared dinner.

Han Zhuxin waited until everyone had left before looking at Shen Xiaoxia with a smile and a gossipy look on her face. "Tell me, how did you feel when you first saw it?"

Shen Xiaoxia glared at Han Zhuxin again, her eyes looking like they could shoot sharp arrows. "How dare you ask? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Han Zhuxin shrugged lightly in disapproval, still with that sly smile on her face, and said, "You won't feel surprised anymore if I tell you!"

When Shen Xiaoxia heard this, she wanted to yell at her, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have felt surprised!"

Suddenly, she was stared at by several pairs of eyes, all with expressions as if they were watching a show. She was able to calmly walk over and say hello, which shows that she is mentally strong!

Fortunately, everyone was sensible and reserved, and no one said anything directly or carelessly!

Shen Xiaoxia snorted and went back to her room.

Han Zhuxin looked at Shen Xiaoxia, shook her head with amusement, and went back to her room to prepare dinner.

Shen Xiaoxia sat in the room for a while, her mind a mess, and then she told herself not to think about those trivial things, because if she thought too much, she would only be troubled.

all will be good!

Let’s think about what to eat for dinner!

Today, she was pulled aside by Aunt Guixiang to chat for a while, and then went to the foot of the mountain to pick up some firewood. Usually, the meal would be ready and eaten at this time, so she was not very hungry today!

There were not many vegetables left in the basket, so Shen Xiaoxia planned to go to the vegetable garden in the backyard to pick some for dinner.

When I was carrying the basket and going out, I met Han Zhuxin who happened to open the door and come out.

When Han Zhuxin saw Shen Xiaoxia going out with a basket, she knew that she was also going to pick vegetables. "Going to pick vegetables? We're going together. I'll pick some peppers too."

When I was preparing a dish, I realized I had run out of chili peppers. Without chili peppers, the dish would have no flavor!

Shen Xiaoxia looked at Han Zhuxin with amusement, "I remember you couldn't handle spicy food before. When did you become so fond of spicy food?"

Speaking of loving spicy food, she remembered that Zhao Qi was particularly good at eating spicy food. She wanted a dish to be filled with chili peppers!

Thinking of Zhao Qi, I wonder how she and Wu Ming are doing now. Although they live in the same village, I rarely see them since they got married and moved out.

Han Zhuxin smiled and said, "Really? I think I can handle spicier food now than before!"

The main reason is that the seasonings at that time are too simple, and there are only a few kinds of dishes. If you eat too much, it feels like the dishes have no taste!

In addition, the weather is hot and my appetite is not good to begin with. I really can’t eat it without adding some chili to enhance the flavor!

As they walked towards the vegetable garden, Shen Xiaoxia said with emotion, "I remember Sister Qi was very good at eating spicy food. Do you remember the dinner we had after beating Zhou Dabao?

The spicy rabbit head she made made us choke when it was being cooked. Later, when it was served on the table, I tried to pick up a small piece to taste it.

Oh my god, I felt my tongue was numb from the spiciness, and my first reaction was to spit it out, but I was too embarrassed to do so in front of everyone, so I swallowed it whole with the food without even chewing!

I knew it would be spicy, but I didn’t expect it to be this spicy!”

Hearing Shen Xiaoxia talk about the past, Han Zhuxin also felt a little emotional. "Speaking of Sister Qi, I wonder how she is doing now? I haven't run into her for a long time. Even Wu Ming rarely runs into her. Have you run into her?"

Shen Xiaoxia thought for a moment, "I've run into him once or twice, and just said hello. I didn't have time to chat much!"

Han Zhuxin said, "Although we are in the same village, we don't live together, so it's really hard to meet!"

As they were talking, they arrived at the vegetable garden. Han Zhuxin asked Shen Xiaoxia, "What are you planning to eat tonight?"

Shen Xiaoxia picked some beans and cucumbers. She used the cucumbers for a cold salad and the beans for a stewed bean dish with some meat and chili peppers. "Let's make a cold cucumber salad and stewed beans. How about you?"

Han Zhuxin picked a few peppers, as she still had other dishes. "I'll just cook the eggplant and beans in one pot and add some peppers. I'm too lazy to bother with anything else!"

After picking the vegetables, the two went back to prepare dinner!
