After Han Yue left, the Lin family's breakfast was also prepared. There was corn porridge in the iron basin and a few pancakes left over from yesterday on the plate.

  Chen Jiao has never seen such rough farm food.

  Mrs. Tian smiled and served her daughter a bowl first.

  Chen Jiao had no appetite, but she was really hungry and couldn't show it. She could only force herself to swallow
She drank the porridge slowly, and Tian and her husband started chatting and asked curiously: "What did you ask Han Yue to do just now?"

  Lin Boyuan explained truthfully. Han Yue is the strongest young man in Dawang Village. His parents died young and he still has two younger brothers to support. Han Yue is working as a casual part-time worker while farming. He is a steady and hard-working good man, helping to spread the word. Lin Boyuan was happy to do such a small job.
Mrs. Tian thought for a while and sighed: "He is already twenty-two, right? With his good looks and figure, it is not difficult to marry him. Why hasn't he married yet?"

  Lin Boyuan didn't know this.

  Mrs. Tian looked at her daughter and thought that her daughter was already sixteen years old. If she delayed any longer, she would become an old girl. She immediately had no time to worry about others.

  Chen Jiao is still trying hard to adapt to farm life and doesn't think too far ahead.
Two days later, Lin Boyuan, Lin Yu and his son went to private school. Tian went to the market with Mrs. Wang next door, leaving Chen Jiao to look after the house.

  Chen Jiao was sitting alone in the room embroidering a handkerchief.

  As I was embroidering, someone outside shouted: "Is anyone home?"

  It was a man's voice.

  Chen Jiao's heart tightened. As a lady, she didn't know how to get along with the farm men, and she was a little resistant in her bones.

  If she doesn't speak, will that person leave?

  Outside the Lin family's gate, Han Yue looked at the wine jar in his hand, and then at the open door of the main hall of the Lin family. Misunderstanding that Mrs. Tian was working and didn't hear him, he strode in with the wine jar in his hand. For farmers, unless there is no one at home, the doors are rarely closed, and fellow villagers visit freely.

  "Aunt Lin?" Stopping in front of the hall door, Han Yue called again, "Aunt Lin, thanks to the master's reminder, I went hunting wild boars with Mr. Liu and got a reward of 20 taels. I just came back from town and shot a jar. Give the wine to Master to try."

  Chen Jiao heard that he was here to say thank you and was serious about business. After hesitating for a moment, she finally put down her embroidery work, put on her shoes and went out.

  Han Yue heard the movement and looked toward the west wing.

  Chen Jiao opened the door panel of the wing room, raised her head, and bumped into the man's resolute and stern face. He was so tall that the top of his head was almost level with the top of the main room door. An invisible sense of oppression came over her like a tide. Chen Jiao lowered her eyes and said softly: "Father said that it was just a small effort for him to send messages. You don't need to thank him. You can take the wine back home and drink it yourself."

  Han Yue looked at the girl across from him in surprise.

  They were all from the same village. Of course he knew Lin Jiao, but in his impression, Lin Jiao was very unruly and arrogant. He looked down on the poor villagers because of his family's wealth. Han Yue had once received a look from Lin Jiao. Therefore, although Lin Jiao was very beautiful, several young men who knew her would discuss Lin Jiao's face and figure behind her back, and even make some obscene remarks. Han Yue had never had any lustful thoughts towards Lin Jiao. .

  But at this time, Lin Jiao was wearing a white dress embroidered with peach blossoms. She stood there quietly with her eyes lowered. She suddenly seemed to have changed, from a swaggering bee to a quiet flower. Quietly blooming peonies. Moreover, she seemed to have become very timid, and she did not dare to look at him. The white fingers exposed outside her sleeves were nervously clutching the edges of the sleeves.

  Han Yue suddenly remembered that the girl fell into the pond by the woods in the east of the village for fun the day before yesterday. Thanks to her companions who called for help in time, the villagers rescued her. Perhaps after learning a lesson, the little girl finally changed her gender?

  "A jar of wine is worthless. It's all my heart." As a man with only one daughter, Han Yue had no intention of staying at Lin's house. He put the wine jar on the window sill outside the main room and walked towards the door of the west wing. The girl said: "I'm leaving. Miss Lin, please go back to your room."

  After saying that, Han Yue walked straight out the door.

  Chen Jiao looked at the wine jar and was no longer polite. However, when Han Yue went out, Chen Jiao looked at the open door of the Lin family where anyone could enter. She felt it was very inappropriate, so she walked quickly and quietly handed over the door. The door was closed and bolted. As soon as the door closed, Chen Jiao relaxed a lot, and then went back to her room to continue embroidering the handkerchief.

  Half an hour later, Tian came back from the market and called his daughter through the gate.

  Chen Jiao quickly ran out and opened the door for her mother.

  Tian Shi asked curiously: "Why did Jiaojiao close the door?"

  Chen Jiao whispered: "I'm afraid of thieves."

  Mrs. Tian burst into laughter, holding her daughter's hand and walking in, saying, "We are peaceful here. I haven't heard of thieves in the daytime for many years. Why are you so timid? Look at the door once it's closed. How inconvenient, whoever comes to visit has to show up and open the door."

  Chen Jiao listened silently, and finally understood the difference between wealthy families and common people in the countryside. The wealthy families had a dedicated concierge who could open the door for guests at any time, while the farmhouses did not have maids or servants, and they were not very disciplined. , so my life is relatively unorganized.

  "Hey, where did this wine come from?" Tian asked, pointing to the wine on the window sill.

  Chen Jiao said: "Han Yue hunted a wild boar and received the reward. This is a thank you gift from him to his father."

  Mrs. Tian immediately beamed: "This Han Yue still knows etiquette."

  Chen Jiao recalled her brief relationship with Han Yue. The man talked about things, and there was nothing frivolous in his words or deeds. She agreed with her mother's words.

  Tian was about to prepare lunch. There were beans growing in the vegetable garden. She was picking vegetables while chatting with her daughter: "I went to the market today and saw Hongmei's mother buying meat. When I asked about it, I found out that Hongmei was on a blind date. They all saw each other, and their family hosted the man and the matchmaker for a banquet this noon... The man is from Zhaojia Village, which is fifteen miles away from us, but it is said that the Zhao family has land, cattle, and has built two new houses. , specially reserved for marriage..."

  Chen Jiao was holding the bamboo strip basket, and somehow found it interesting that Tian talked about the villagers' trivial matters.
