The Transmigrated Li Jin's Daily Farming Life (Translated With Mtl)

Chapter 55

Li Jin found a basin and proceeded to pour all the red beans into it, soaking them with fresh well water. However, he noticed that Qin Muwen's expression seemed a bit strange.

As Li Jin watched Qin Muwen pack up his things, he furrowed his brow and asked, "Are the red beans troubling you?"

Qin Muwen picked up the little bun, gazed at Li Jin, and nodded earnestly.

"These red beans were originally called 'Acacia beans' and were a symbol of love. However, since they are produced in the southern region and transportation is inconvenient, many people in the north use red beans instead of acacia beans."

Li Jin's forehead twitched, and he swore to the heavens, "Brother Zhuzi and I are completely innocent."

His words successfully made Qin Muwen smile, and the previous tension dissipated.

What Li Jin didn't know was that during this era, due to the preference for male children, society was not as opposed to homosexuality. In some impoverished villages, families desperately desired sons and would even drown newborn girls or gers.

As a result, these villages were mainly populated by boys. However, due to poverty and uncivilized customs, neighboring villages were unwilling to marry their daughters off to these villages, causing them to suffer.

Many young men in these villages were unable to marry a bride, nor could they marry their brothers. They could only suppress their feelings and become brothers.

Qin Muwen had read some travel notes when he lived in poverty, and they contained similar records. Of course, he was young at the time and preferred to read storybooks and various travel notes.

When he learned that he was going to be sold, he was fearful of being sold to such a place. Fortunately, he was taken in by Li Jin's mother and became Li Jin's husband.

Qin Muwen gazed at Li Jin's helpless and innocent expression towards him, and two faint dimples appeared on the corners of his lips.

He gently put the little bun down, stepped towards A Jin, rose on his toes, and kissed his chin.

"I understand my mistake now."

Li Jin was taken aback, but his expression remained the same. This was the first time the young man had taken the initiative to kiss him.

Li Jin watched the boy turn around and pick up the little bun, revealing his reddened ears.

He suggested: "Let's leave now and come back in the afternoon to prepare red bean paste for you."

A similar conversation took place at Li Zhuzi's home. His wife heard that he was sending red beans to Li Jin and was almost unable to eat.

Li Zhuzi was even more innocent: "You said that this food is tasty. When our family is suffering from headaches and fever, Li Jin helped, so I sent it to him eagerly."

Li Zhuzi's wife inquired: "Did Li Jin's expression change when he received it?"

Li Zhuzi was very honest: "It's normal! What are you trying to say?"

His wife was silenced by him.

Later, when the two men were out, Li Zhuzi's wife took advantage of the opportunity to deliver vegetables to Li Jin's house and spoke with Qin Muwen.

In the end, they both agreed that their men were too careless and inattentive in this regard.

However, this incident can be regarded as a thing of the past.

During the previous Mid-Autumn Festival, only the couple attended and the little bun was neglected. This year's Double Ninth Festival is the first time the family of three is preparing to celebrate together.
