Since Xiaoyu and Zhang San confided their true feelings last time, Zhang San has become more coquettish recently.
Suxin and Xiaomei smelled a distinctive charm from Xiaoyu's changes.
Therefore, they have always been making insinuations in the past few days. Although Xiaoyu insisted and did not say anything, the more this happened, the more the two of them felt that there was something going on between Xiaoyu and Zhang San.
At night, the younger sister and Su Xin pulled Xiaoyu into the younger sister's room and began interrogation.
"Sister Xiaoyu, I know everything. Have you and the third brother..." The younger sister gestured with her thumbs together and asked in a gossipy tone.
"No... no way." Xiaoyu said guiltily.
"Really? Xiaoyu, I think you are very dishonest!" Suxin and Xiaomei looked at each other, and the two sides reached an agreement instantly.
"Torture!" the younger sister shouted, then she hugged Xiaoyu and started to tickle her.
Su Xin was also rushing to the side, and Xiaoyu twisted her body to avoid it, but she couldn't escape the clutches of the two men.
"Sister Xiaoyu, just do it! Hehe, actually I know even if you don't tell me, because the third brother has already told me today." The younger sister winked at Su Xin, and the two stopped the torture.
"What did the young master say?" Xiaoyu asked nervously.
"What to say is of course your business. You came back from outside together that day, did you two..." Xiaomei deliberately omitted the following words, which made Xiaoyu mistakenly think that she already knew.
I secretly yelled at Zhang San and told my little sister everything.
"Don't think too much. The young master will get married next month. This matter... we... I have always liked the young master." Xiaoyu replied hesitantly.
"Oh! Really? Does Third Brother have a different attitude towards you? I told you to take the initiative a long time ago, but you were still shy at that time." The little girl looked like she hated iron.
After hearing this, Su Xin sighed in her heart, and the loneliness on her face flashed away, and she concealed it well.
"It would be nice to be able to follow the young master like this all the time. I didn't think much about it." Xiaoyu said with a slight blush.
Zhang San didn't know what the three girls were talking about in the younger sister's room. He was lying on the bed counting sheep, trying to fall asleep.
As the sun rises in the east, another day of work begins in Zhangjiacun.
Zhang San was writing teaching materials in the yard at this time, mainly because the original mathematical equations had been drained by two mathematical lunatics, Zhou Yongzhi and Hu Wenzhen.
Zhang San accidentally mentioned inequalities last time, which once again aroused the strong interest of the two of them. They kept pestering Zhang San to write down this knowledge in detail so that they could study it carefully and then teach it to the children.
The miserable Zhang San had no choice but to become a publisher again and continue to write down inequalities and other mathematical knowledge.
"Sir, the beggar girl from last time is here again." At this moment, Mrs. Li came to the backyard and said to Zhang San.
"What? Why is she here again?" Zhang San was very guarded against this woman.
"I don't know either. I'm sitting in the front hall and said I have something for you." Sister-in-law Li replied.
"Okay, I'll go take a look." Zhang San put away the written paper and asked Sister-in-law Li to take it back to the study and put it away.
When Zhang San came to the front hall, he saw Xie Hua'er. Xie Hua'er also saw Zhang San coming in, and she was very happy. Before Xie Hua'er could speak, Zhang San took the lead and asked, "Why are you here again?"
?”
These words choked Xie Hua'er and she rolled her eyes and swallowed back what she wanted to say.
"You don't want to see me so much?" Xie Hua'er looked at Zhang San with resentful eyes.
Zhang San also knew that his tone just now was a bit offensive. When Xie Hua'er left, he said that he had wrongly blamed her, and was planning to say sorry when they met in the future. Unexpectedly, he subconsciously became wary as soon as he saw Xie Hua'er.
"Sorry, I said the wrong thing. Please sit down."
Seeing that Zhang San's attitude became more polite, Xie Huaer couldn't help but feel happy.
"This is the letter my master asked me to bring you, and I also want this token." Xie Hua'er took out two things prepared in advance and handed them to Zhang San and said.
Zhang San received the letter and token, feeling puzzled, so he opened the letter in front of Xie Hua'er. After reading it, he became even more confused and felt very weird.
Seemingly aware of the scrutiny in Zhang San's eyes, Xie Hua'er said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Have you read this letter?" Zhang San asked.
"Of course I haven't read the letter to you."
"Then take a look!"
Xie Hua'er didn't know why, so she took the letter from Zhang San and slowly read it down. The more she looked at it, the angrier her face became.
"The smelly old man sold me out!" Xie Hua'er crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it outside the house, saying angrily.
The first half of the letter stated that Xie Hua'er was a disciple of Xie Yun, the helmsman of the farm. Last time he was ordered to come to County Uncle Zhang to find out about potatoes. However, the story changed later and he said that Xie Hua'er was right.
Zhang San is deeply in love, and if County Uncle Zhang likes it, he can marry Xie Hua'er.
"Don't listen to my master's nonsense. I came here to see the potatoes, and then stay overnight at your place until the new season potatoes are planted in the ground and harvested.
You also know that I am a farmer, and we attach great importance to these new crops, and we farmers are all very good at farming and tending the crops." Xie Hua'er quickly explained.
Zhang San naturally believes that farmers know how to farm. After all, he has heard a little about farmers. The sages of farmers should be from the same period as Mencius, who advocated "encouraging mulberry cultivation to provide enough food and clothing."
Zhang San looked Xie Hua'er up and down, looking at her attire, she looked like a young lady from a rich family. How could she match the kind of peasant family in Zhang San's mind?
It is said that during the Warring States Period, peasants dressed in coarse linen and wandered around, all they wanted was to own a piece of land where they could grow crops.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xie Hua'er felt uncomfortable being looked at by Zhang San and couldn't help but ask.
"I believed you as a farmer when you left that letter last year. I just heard you say you knew how to take care of the crops. I have deep doubts about this." Zhang San said with a half-smile.
"What? You look down on me? Don't look at me as a woman who has never touched the spring water. I have this ignorant understanding. I have also been in the fields and cultivated crops with my master. The beets are the same ones that my master and I worked with at the beginning.
Planted.”
Xie Hua'er felt somewhat guilty when she said this. Although she was a farm girl, her understanding of crops was only theoretical.
Xie Yun dotes on Xie Hua'er very much, and since Xie Hua'er is a girl, Xie Yun has made Xie Hua'er learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she will tell her about crops in her spare time.
.
"Okay, I believe you for the time being. Considering that we are all farmers, you can stay here temporarily, but I still have to warn you not to have any bad thoughts towards our family, otherwise I will not be merciful.
.”
Zhang San thought for a while and decided to keep Xie Hua'er, mainly because he had never grown beets before and his understanding of this was only based on the book introduction.
Zhang San didn't care whether Xie Hua'er knew how to farm or not. Zhang San was more concerned about Xie Hua'er's identity as the helmsman of the farm.
With her here, if there is a problem with growing beets in the future, you can still find someone to consult.
Xie Hua'er was very happy when she heard that Zhang San agreed to keep her, but when she thought of the letter, she added: "You don't really think that I like you and want to marry you, do you?"
"Don't worry, I'm not that narcissistic. You still have the room. Come back and ask Mrs. Li to give you an extra quilt." Zhang San replied angrily.
When Xie Hua'er heard this answer, she felt a little disappointed for some reason, but she thought that since she had stayed, she might be able to fall in love for a long time in the future!
