The two looked at each other in silence, and Liu Yuxue said after a while: "Do you want to go and coax me?"
An Shuyao: "..."
She looked at the sky sadly, saying that women are chasing men. She thought that this layer of gauze should be made of nylon cloth, and she couldn't see through it.
So he responded casually: "I'll coax you more in the evening. It's almost noon with all the fuss. I'll go cook first."

Village entrance
Shi Huanhuan and Aunt Shi came back with happy faces, gave Uncle Zhou the fare and hurried home.
Aunt Shi kept mumbling: "You've made a lot of money, you've made a lot of money, Huanhuan, you are such a lucky star."
The corners of Shi Huanhuan's lips were slightly raised, and the money in his wallet was hot.
When they arrived at the county, they went straight to Haoke. They thought they would be turned away if they took out the mushroom. Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Lu from Haoke welcomed her in personally as soon as they saw it.
From Shopkeeper Lu, she learned that the things she picked were very popular among people, especially those rich officials in the county. They would go to Zuixian Pavilion to wait almost every day. Unfortunately, these things were scarce, and even Zuixian Pavilion had them.
Out of stock for a long time.
As for what she had brought, she had the courage to pay two hundred cents per catty. Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Lu didn't even mention the price, so she readily asked for it, and asked her to send it all to the hotel if she had any left in the future.
Shi Huanhuan naturally agreed. Her pile of mushrooms weighed about thirty kilograms, and she finally sold it for nearly seven taels of silver.
Even if she continued to embroider handkerchiefs for several years, it would be difficult for her to earn seven taels.
She didn't expect to earn so much from selling a small mushroom. She felt a little annoyed. If only she had known earlier, An Shuyao would still have earned the majority, otherwise where would she have gotten the money to repair the house.
But regretting it would not help. She had to pick all those things before An Shuyao!
The two of them walked quickly on the road. At the school in the west of the village, Shi Huanhuan stopped abruptly.
She was a little unbelievable that she could meet Lu Jin here in the school. He seemed to be shining against the light, and his skin was as smooth as jade.
Lu Jin held a book in his slender fingertips. He was flipping through it while walking, completely unaware of Shi Huanhuan's presence.
Shi Huanhuan's eyes fell greedily on Lu Jin, his hands tightly holding the purse at his side, which contained the silver he had just sold today.
Lu Jin raised his eyes and glanced at her coldly. He closed the book and passed her by.
Wherever he passed, there was a pleasant, cool breath.
Aunt Shi took Shi Huanhuan's hand: "Huanhuan, let's go home. Your father will get up later, and I have to cook."
Shi Huanhuan responded softly, walked a few steps, and looked at the closed school door. Finally, he couldn't help but ask: "Mom, why do you think Lu Jin came to the school?"
Aunt Shi was a little speechless. She was still thinking about Lu Jin. She rolled her eyes: "What else can I do? Maybe I found a way to clean the school."
The two left, and Shi Huanhuan frequently looked back at the school. She felt a little uneasy, which made her a little irritable.
When I was about to arrive home, two aunts with smiling faces walked towards me.
Their conversation was heard:
"I really didn't expect Mr. Lu to be a scholar."
"That's not true. Judging from his demeanor, he must be more knowledgeable than Master Guo."
"Fortunately, Master Guo no longer teaches, and Mr. Lu is willing to take over. Otherwise, what will happen to the children in our village?"
"No, don't call me Mr. Lu. It's time to change your name to Mr. Lu..."
Discussions came not far away. Shi Huanhuan looked dumbfounded. She took one of the aunts' hands and asked, "What did you say? Lu Jin is a scholar? He is going to teach in a school?"
The aunt who was suddenly pulled saw that it was Shi Huanhuan, and then she smiled and said, "No, Mr. Lu must come from a big family. With him teaching us, we feel more at ease."
The redness on Shi Huanhuan's face faded in an instant, and his face turned pale in an instant.
…………
Lu Jin came back after lunch, holding a book in his hand. No need to think that he must have gone to that school, but his face was too cold, and it looked like he was still angry.
An Shuyao felt wronged, but she didn't question him on purpose! She was also afraid that Lu Jin would bring up the child, right?
There are so many people around now, and there are construction workers nearby. If she wants to smooth his hair, she has to wait until night.
In order not to appear quiet, An Shuyao looked down at An Hao, who was scooping out custard with a small spoon, and asked, "Where is your fourth uncle?"
An Hao swallowed the custard and smacked his lips: "Buji Island."
An Shuyao frowned: "It's strange, he hasn't come back from where he went."
She looked outside: "Forget it, let's eat first and leave a portion for him later."
An Shuyao cooked fish hot pot for noon. When she saw that the green peppers outside were almost grown, she picked some to taste them.
As soon as it was put into the dish, it was much more fragrant than dogwood, and the spiciness was also stronger than that of dogwood. An Shuyao looked at the gallinopsis mushrooms and green vegetables that could only be used as side dishes, and thought that he should make some sweet potato powder.
, when the time comes, throw it into the hot pot, mix it with the rich soup, and it will be as refreshing as noodles.
It happened that Aunt Lin gave her a lot of sweet potatoes, and she wanted to take them to the mill to grind them all into juice and use them to make sweet potato powder.
When workers outside are tired from work, family members naturally bring food to them, which is nothing more than coarse grain cakes and sweet potatoes, along with a bowl of wild vegetable soup or radish soup that is light in oil and water.
When they first smelled the fragrant smell of An Shuyao's house, everyone swallowed their saliva with greed, and instantly felt that the whole grain cakes in their hands were tasteless.
One of them chewed the dry biscuit and said: "Why do I feel that eating a meal is more cost-effective? It seems that it is worth spending three pennies to have such a delicious meal."
Everyone looked at each other and saw regret in each other's eyes. If they had known better, they would not have agreed to the three cents. They were shameless enough to have a try.
Aunt Lin brought sweet potato rice to Lin Hui. After all, Lin Hui was doing physical work, so he had to eat enough to be strong.
An Shuyao caught a glimpse of Aunt Lin, put down the bowl and walked out. She put the braised pork she had prepared in Aunt Lin's basket.
"Take it back to the tiger to recuperate."
Aunt Lin quickly refused: "No way."
With so much meat, I'm afraid it weighs a pound.
"It's okay, the meat will stink if you put it down anymore, so you can help me share some of it and give it to Huzi to have a taste."
Aunt Lin accepted it and then said to An Shuyao: "The strong man this morning is your brother, right?"
An Shuyao nodded: "That's my fourth brother, have you seen him?"
Aunt Lin nodded, a little confused: "I saw him entering the Xu family's gate, has he not come back yet?"
"No."
After chatting with Aunt Lin for a few more words, Aunt Lin went home to take care of her son.
An Shuyao frowned, a little confused as to why her fourth brother went to the Xu family?
At the same time, the Xu family.
A loud noise came from inside, accompanied by a broken cry for mercy:
