  Lu Chaoli followed Jiang Li and bought some rice, flour, oil and seasonings with her. When Jiang Li wanted to buy vegetables, Lu Chaoli stopped her. He planted all kinds of vegetables in his yard. If Jiang Li wanted to eat, he could just send them to her. There was no need to spend money to buy them in the town.

  Hu Zi and Xiao Fang walked around the town for most of the day, and finally bought some fruits and snacks, and bought a skirt for Xiao Fang.

  The skirt was picked by Hu Zi himself. Xiao Fang didn't want him to spend too much money, so when Hu Zi wanted to take her to buy clothes, she refused. Hu Zi simply went all out and picked a skirt for Xiao Fang according to his own taste.

  Sister Fang should accept the gift he gave her, right?

  The two went to the furniture factory and the wedding store to look at the things they would use for the wedding. They had already decided on the items they wanted to buy, and would buy them after their wedding room was ready.

  The four met at the agreed place. The one who helped them watch the ox cart was Uncle Liu from Taohua Village. Uncle Liu often brought vegetables grown by his family to the town to set up a stall. Every time the villagers came to the town, they would put the ox cart with Uncle Liu and ask him to help watch it.

  "Uncle Liu, we are back."

  Lu Chaoli and others greeted Uncle Liu when they came to his stall.

  Uncle Liu, who was squatting on the ground tying vegetables into bundles, turned his head after hearing their voices and looked at the four people in front of him with a smile.

  "You are back. The ox cart is over there. It rained just now. I was afraid that the ox cart would get wet and you couldn't sit on it, so I put a layer of plastic sheet on it."

  Uncle Liu pointed to the ox cart covered by the plastic sheet.

  "Thank you, Uncle Liu!"

  Lu Chaoli thanked Uncle Liu, then took a bag of oranges from his hand and put it in front of Uncle Liu's stall: "These oranges are very sweet, Uncle Liu, peel some oranges when you are free."

  "And these nectarines are also very sweet, Uncle Liu, try them after you are done!"

  Hu Zi said and put the bag in his hand next to Uncle Liu.

  "Take it away, take it away, take it away quickly, I can't bite these when I am old!"

  Uncle Liu quickly picked up the bag and stood up, handing the bag to Lu Chaoli and Hu Zi.

  "Oranges and nectarines are both good to bite, Uncle Liu, keep them, we have something to do so we will go back first."

  Lu Chaoli blocked Uncle Liu with his hand, and Hu Zi took the opportunity to pull the ox cart. When Lu Chaoli was trying to refuse Uncle Liu, Jiang Li and Xiao Fang smiled at each other and quickly turned around and sat on the ox cart.

  "Chaoli, there are some at home, take them back quickly."

  "Uncle Liu has been watching the ox cart for us for a day, you can eat these fruits, I have something to do, I will go back first, Uncle Liu should go back early too!"

  Lu Chaoli took the bag from Uncle Liu, bent down and put it in front of the stall, and ran to the ox cart in front.

  "Chaoli, Chaoli, stop!"

  When Uncle Liu picked up the bag on the ground and chased after them, Lu Chaoli and others had already driven the ox cart away.

  Uncle Liu had to stop after chasing for a while, muttering: "These two kids, why are you being polite to me!"

  ...

  This trip to the town, the relationship between the four people has undergone subtle changes.

  Although Hu Zi and Xiao Fang are from the same village, because Hu Zi usually works in the pig farm, the two do not meet often, and there are not many opportunities to talk.

  Today's trip to the town has made the relationship between the two people closer. From the shyness when they first proposed to now, they can talk about anything. Hu Zi is humorous and often makes Xiao Fang laugh.

  Lu Chaoli likes Jiang Li, and he has liked her since he saw her for the first time.

  You could say he was superficial or that he was attracted by her beauty, but he fell in love with her the first time he saw her.

  After spending these two days together, he was more certain of his feelings. He would pamper her, indulge her, and protect her, now, in the future, and for the rest of his life.   

  Lu Chaoli sat in the front driving the cattle, and he also curled his lips when he heard the laughter coming from behind.

  The air after the rain was mixed with a hint of coolness. The four people sat on the donkey cart and talked and laughed. When the sun set, they arrived at the entrance of Taohua Village.

  Lu Chaoli jumped off the ox cart and said to Hu Zi and Xiao Fang: "You go back first, I will send Comrade Xiao Jiang back to the Youth Institute."

  Lu Chaoli said as he came to Jiang Li and stretched out his hand to her. Jiang Li did not refuse, and jumped off the ox cart by grabbing his hand.

  Just when Lu Chaoli was about to pick up the rice, flour, grain and oil on the ox cart, Hu Zi called him: "Boss, why don't we send..."

  "Okay, then trouble you to send Xiao Jiang back."

  Xiao Fang pulled Hu Zi's sleeve and interrupted his words.

  "You guys should go back soon, it will be dark later and the road will be difficult to walk."

  Lu Chaoli picked up the things that Jiang Li bought from the ox cart. He carried the big items, and Jiang Li carried the other small items. The two of them walked side by side towards the Youth Institute under the setting sun.

  After the two walked a distance, Hu Zi muttered: "Boss is really something. He has to carry such a heavy thing instead of sitting in the ox cart."

  Xiao Fang said helplessly: "You can't see this? Boss just wants to spend more time alone with Xiao Jiang. You, please be more discerning next time!"

  After being reminded by Xiao Fang, Hu Zi realized what the boss's eyes just now meant. He knocked his head: "Look at my brain, how could I forget this!"

  Seeing Hu Zi's annoyed look, Xiao Fang laughed. 

  Seeing Xiao Fang's smile, Hu Zi scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Thank you sister Fang for reminding me, otherwise I'm afraid I will be beaten by the boss later."

  After realizing that he almost ruined the boss's good thing, Hu Zi wanted to find an opportunity to make up for it. He drove the cattle while looking at Xiao Fang.

  "Sister Fang seems to be very familiar with Comrade Xiao Jiang?"

  "We just met yesterday. Xiao Jiang is a very nice person. The three of us, Yuanyuan and I, get along very well."

  "Then can Sister Fang help the boss find out what Comrade Xiao Jiang is thinking?"

  Hu Zi looked at Xiao Fang with a flattering look. Xiao Fang pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

  Xiao Fang was thoughtful. She could see from Lu Chaoli's behavior and eyes that he was in love with Jiang Li. Needless to say, Lu Chaoli's reputation in the village was praised by everyone who mentioned him.

  If he really cared about Xiao Jiang, she wouldn't mind trying to bring them together.

  And she saw that not only the boss was interested in Xiao Jiang, but Xiao Jiang seemed to have a good impression of the boss as well!

  ——

  Lu Chaoli carried the things and returned to the Youth House with Jiang Li. Jiang Li called Xu Yuanyuan twice, but no one in the house answered. I guess he hadn't come back from the field yet.

  "Just put it on the ground first, I'll clean it up later. Thank you for helping me carry the things back. Sit down and rest for a while. I'll go get you a bowl of water."

  Jiang Li thanked Lu Chaoli, and quickly asked him to sit down first, and turned around to pour him a bowl of boiled water.

  "Here, drink some water to quench your thirst."

  Lu Chaoli just took the water from Jiang Li when Xu Yuanyuan's voice came from outside the yard.
