Chapter 21 Encounter
The villagers who watched the excitement all went home.

The gate of the Gu family was so quiet.

Xiao Muxuan and Xiao Dalang ran to the door and knocked tacitly. Mu Li held a bowl in one hand and waited quietly.

"Dong dong dong."

In the room, Mrs. Zhang was busy arranging the things she brought over, when she heard a knock on the door, she said to her son: "Ah Heng, look who is here?"

"understood."

After Chen Xiao moved a box from the carriage into his room, he dusted off the dust on his body before coming over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Chen Xiao saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl looking at him with a smile on her face. Chen Xiao frowned at her, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw two bowls of blackened noodles in her hand. Chen Xiao Xiao was even more puzzled.

"Girl...you are?"

Mu Li sent the bowl forward again, and said with a bright smile: "My mother said, you definitely don't have time to cook now, so let me bring you the noodles you eat at home. If you don't mind, you can accept it." Bar."

Chen Xiao just looked at her, pursing his pretty lips lightly, he didn't take the bowl from the girl's hand, and he didn't speak.

Mu Li waited for a while, thinking that he would not want it, laughed twice, and was about to leave.

"Heng, who is here?" A gentle and quiet voice sounded.

Mu Li tilted his head and looked behind the young man. A gentle, quiet, elegant and dignified beautiful woman was standing under the eaves. Her hair was tied up in a bun, probably because of loose work. The side cheeks did not affect her beauty at all, but added a touch of playfulness.

The woman's eyes filled with a faint smile, she folded her hands on her abdomen, her back straightened, and she slowly approached them.

Mu Li was dumbfounded.

The boy said: "Mother, she is our new neighbor."

Mu Li regained consciousness in an instant, looked at the young man in disbelief, and then at the woman. The woman was only in her early twenties, but she actually had such a son?

Seeing Mu Li's shocked expression, Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth and chuckled, and explained: "I got married at 15, gave birth to Ah Heng at 16, and now I'm 32."

She didn't know why she had to explain this to a little girl whom she had only met once.

Mrs. Zhang was born in a rich family. She had enough food and clothing since she was a child, and she was served by a maidservant. After marrying Chen Xiao's father, she was treated as a princess by him. have never done it.

Everyday I live a comfortable life of opening my mouth for food and reaching out for clothes. I have never experienced the hardships of life, and Zhang can take care of herself. Naturally, she is much younger than the country women of the same age that Mu Li has seen.

But since her husband passed away, her life has taken a sharp turn for the worse. If she hadn't been forced to do so, how could Mrs. Zhang have made the decision to live in the country?

However, Zhang's ability to adapt to the new environment is very strong.

"Come in and sit for a while." Mrs. Zhang said softly, "The house hasn't been tidied up yet, and it's a little messy now. Don't be disgusted."

Just as Mu Li was about to wave his hand to refuse, he found that he was still holding two big bowls, and the noodles in the bowls were already getting a little lumpy.

"I'm here to deliver food to you. My mother said that you are busy packing up now, and you probably don't have time to prepare lunch, so let me come over and bring you some noodles. Please don't hold it against me."

"How could you dislike it?" Mrs. Zhang smiled softly, "It's too late for me to thank you for your kindness."

Before coming here, the master's friend Gu Ting told her that the villagers in Ping'an Village are honest and kind, let her live here with peace of mind, don't worry about anything else, if you need help, just ask, the villagers will definitely help if they can.

When she first arrived here today, Bai Lizheng from Ping'an Village came over specially and said similar things to her. Mrs. Zhang had been dubious before, but now she suddenly saw someone coming to deliver lunch to them.

Knowing that she and her son are busy, many things have not been sorted out.

Mrs. Zhang took this thoughtfulness and kindness to heart.

"Ah Heng, hurry up and get two bowls."

Mu Li wanted to say no, she would live next to her, and she could just send it over after eating, but seeing the young man turned around and entered the house, Mu Li thought about it, but still didn't say anything.

"Ma'am, your son looks really good-looking."

Mu Li looked at the young man's aloof back, and said what was in his heart for no reason.

Her voice was not too loud, just enough for everyone in the yard to hear.

Mu Li didn't know that what she said just now made the young man's back go stiff.

Mu Li said this out of the blue, Zhang Shi was taken aback for a moment, she was from a noble family, and she always spoke euphemistically when talking to people, like Mu Li praised a boy's good looks in public, Zhang Shi had never done it before.

But soon, she rolled her eyes with a smile.

The country people are simple, and they speak directly, unlike the rich people, who will choose their words carefully before they say a word, and after they say it, they are somewhat sincere, and I am afraid that sometimes even the speaker himself is not sure.

Just as Mrs. Zhang wanted to return to her, she heard Xiao Muxuan's pretendingly deep words, which made her laugh.

"Sister, you are a fickle woman." Xiao Muxuan raised her small face, defending Mu Qing, pouted and said: "Obviously you said that elder brother is the most beautiful person, why did you change as soon as you saw him? "

Xiao Dalang watched the cold and handsome young man getting closer to them, he pulled Xiao Muxuan's sleeve and motioned him to look at Chen Xiao.

"I also think he's the prettiest."

Xiao Dalang said in a low voice, seeing Chen Xiaoman casually looking at him with a bit of coldness in his heart, Xiao Dalang was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Xiao Muxuan, holding Xiao Muxuan's clothes with his small hands, not daring to peek at Chen Xiao again.

Xiao Muxuan who is shorter than Xiao Dalang: ...

Chen Xiao took the bowl from Mu Li's hand with a cold face, and he didn't know if he cared about the comments on his appearance when he met for the first time.

After a while, Chen Xiao brought over the empty bowl again, and handed the two together to Mu Li. When Mu Li took the bowl from Chen Xiao's hand, he accidentally touched the boy's finger.

The young man paused, the temperature from his fingertips made Chen Xiao's ears turn red, he retracted his fingers in a panic as if he had touched a hot potato.

He pretended to be calm on his face.

That short moment of touch, Mu Li didn't take it seriously, and didn't even think it was a matter.

She frowned slightly, and looked at the handsome and elegant Chen Xiao with her dark eyes in confusion, as if she didn't understand why he overreacted so much just now.

Mu Li shook his head, didn't think much of it, when he turned around to leave, he caught a glimpse of more than half of the boxes on the carriage that hadn't been removed.

Mu Li stopped, looked at Mrs. Zhang, and then at Chen Xiao. Both of them looked as if their fingers were not touched by spring water. He thought that if they were only allowed to move these things, they would probably have to be busy all day long. Head down.

However, although Mu Li really wanted to display the traditional virtue of helping others in Xia'an Village, she still had other things to do in the afternoon, so she couldn't waste her time.

Then he dismissed this idea.

However, polite words still have to be.

"Then let's go first. If you need help, just say it. My house is next to yours. There is a narrow path in the middle, so it's very close."

Mrs. Zhang thanked Mu Li with a smile: "Thank you very much for today, after I finish my work, I will visit your house another day to thank you."

"No need, it's not a rare thing, it's just mixed noodles that country people often eat, I'm afraid you will dislike it."

"By the way, you have to eat the noodles quickly, or they won't taste good if they fall off."

Mrs. Zhang wanted to ask her what her name was again, but seeing that she left without looking back, Mrs. Zhang thought that the two families would be neighbors in the future, and they were so close to each other, so she would have a chance to know her name in the future.

Then let it go.

 The hero is officially on the stage, what kind of hero do you like?

  There is another epidemic in Beijing. I promised to bring the male tickets home to meet my parents tomorrow. The tickets are all bought, the gifts are also bought, and the nucleic acid is ready. But I called the epidemic duty office in my hometown and replied that I came back from Beijing. Quarantine at home for 14 days┭┮﹏┭┮
  We can only go back after the epidemic is over.

  The journey home with a male ticket is too bumpy. I have been talking about going since last year, and I have been talking about it for a year, but I haven’t made it yet, hahahaha
  Everyone, please protect yourselves, try to avoid going to crowded places, and hope that the epidemic will pass as soon as possible!
