Chapter 45
After hearing what he said, Xue Ling smiled shyly and continued to nibble on the bun in her hand.

It turned out that I misunderstood myself!

He didn't want to spend her money, and he didn't mean to keep distance from her.

I'm in a good mood, and the buns in my hands taste delicious!
The two of them chatted quietly while eating.

"You fell asleep last night. I didn't dare to make too much noise when I entered the door for fear of waking you up. A Fang has been severely punished by my father and I. Next, she will have to stay at home to help prepare winter grains and can go to the cooperative in a month. .”

Xue Ling hesitated for a moment and asked anxiously: "Sister-in-law...she hasn't gotten along with that scumbag yet, has she?"

Cheng Tianyuan understood her worries and shook his head lightly.

"Fortunately, she hasn't been that stupid yet. Last night she confessed honestly, saying she just talked, helped him with some house cleaning, listened to him read some poems, and nothing else."

Hearing this, Xue Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did you ask the president last night?"

Cheng Tianyuan replied: "If you ask carefully, don't let A Fang be young. She will return to the county town in half a month. If it is a good marriage, then you can try for it. It's just that she has to leave in half a month, so don't I was young and ignorant and was deceived."

Xue Ling thought about it and felt that the president was in the cooperative every day and should be a knowledgeable person.

Since he advised me like this, my sister-in-law should not have suffered a big loss.

"I'll pretend I don't know anything for a while, say goodbye to my parents, and then we'll go back to the city."

Her sister-in-law's attitude towards her was not very good. She had just moved in and had not had much contact with her. It was better not to ask too much, lest her sister-in-law would hate her.

Cheng Tianyuan nodded and said warmly: "There is still time, please eat more."

The young couple finished the rice porridge and steamed buns and quickly packed them up and took them back to the kitchen.

At this time, the sky was still bright, the autumn wind was blowing, and there was already an obvious chill.

Cheng Tianyuan took the luggage bag, took Xue Ling to say goodbye to Cheng's father and Liu Ying, and set off in a hurry.

Xue Ling looked at the big and heavy sandbags and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yuan, what's in here? Didn't you say there are only steamed buns? Why are there so many? Didn't mom even take away the things we brought yesterday?"

Cheng Tianyuan grinned and replied: "Mom originally refused to accept it, but I said you bought a lot and let them keep it to eat in the winter. Here are Chinese cabbages and radishes harvested from the fields."

Xue Ling saw that he was a little out of breath after leaving, and guessed that he must have been pretending a lot.

"Why are you so greedy? We live so close to the market, and we can buy whatever we want to eat at any time. If you make so much, it will go bad if we don't finish it!"

Cheng Tianyuan glanced at her with a smile and explained: "These are all grown at home. They are very sweet and delicious. I plan to pickle some cabbage and radishes to make side dishes. I can eat them occasionally to change the taste."

Xue Ling couldn't help but laugh and praised: "You can still do this? It's amazing!"

Cheng Tianyuan was amused by her and explained: "What's so difficult about this! Every household in the village does it this way, otherwise there would be nothing to eat in the winter! The vegetables here are all grown at home, and the snow is thick in winter, so there is nothing to eat in the ground. In autumn, there is nothing to eat. After scraping them, some are hidden in the cellar, and some are pickled. The pickled vegetables can be eaten for a long time, most of which have to be eaten until the next spring."

Xue Ling has lived in the Imperial Capital since she was a child. Her mother goes to the market every morning to buy vegetables. Except for the occasional pickle, she eats fresh food for three meals, so she doesn't have such a concept.

"Okay! Then I will help you do it when I get back, and you can also take the opportunity to teach me!"

Cheng Tianyuan nodded and readily agreed.

"no problem!"

While talking, the two of them had already reached the entrance of the village.

Xue Ling only carried his own cross-body bag, while Cheng Tianyuan carried two large gauze bags. However, he was strong and strong and could walk even faster than Xue Ling.

Suddenly, there was a clicking sound from behind!

"A Yuan! A Yuan's wife!" A loud voice shouted.

The young couple turned their heads in unison and saw Uncle Chang running over briskly in a donkey cart.He was probably going out. There was a large basket of cabbage and a handful of barley on the donkey cart.

He stopped the donkey cart and smiled honestly.

"I'm about to go to the city! The station is still a little far away. Let me give you a ride there!"

Cheng Tianyuan was not polite to him, threw the two big bags up, and helped Xue Ling sit on them.

Xue Ling kept thanking him, saying it was too much trouble for the old man.

Chang Bo grinned, his teeth were black, and he was missing three front teeth.

"No trouble! No trouble! I often take some things to the county town to sell. I harvested too many cabbages a few days ago, and I plan to sell another basket."

Xue Ling looked at the dustpan of barley and saw that the color was very good and the grains were plump. He couldn't help but reach out and pinch a few grains.

"Uncle Chang, do you want to sell this barley too?"

Chang Bo, who was driving the car ahead, explained: "My wife likes to eat it and grows a lot of it. I have bad teeth and this thing always likes to be stuffed between my teeth. I plan to keep only one bag for her to eat and sell the rest." "

Cheng Tianyuan saw her staring at the barley and couldn't help but ask: "What? Do you like to eat it?"

Xue Ling smiled softly and explained: "I quite like to eat. A few days ago, I heard Editor Lin say that she wanted to buy barley, but unfortunately she couldn't buy it. She said that all the children in her family like to eat it."

Cheng Tianyuan heard that she loved to eat, so he quickly paid for the dustpan and barley.

……

There was originally a lot of stuff, but with the addition of about ten kilograms of barley, the luggage became even heavier.

Fortunately, Chang Bo's donkey cart was fast. They arrived at the site a little early and were at the front of the queue.

When the car came, Cheng Tianyuan threw everything into the car and then turned back to lead Xue Ling.

More than half an hour later, the two got off the bus at the county station.

Cheng Tianyuan looked at the big clock at the main station and said, "It's only 07:30, not too late."

Then, he stored the two big bags in the grocery store outside the station, and then took Xue Ling to work.

Xue Ling originally thought that he would be late, but unexpectedly he was the first person to go to work in the entire newspaper office.

Before going to work, she quietly gave half of the barley to Editor Lin.

Editor Lin saw that the barleys were round and big, and asked with a smile: "Where do you get the good barleys? Where did you buy them?"

Xue Ling rolled his eyes slightly and explained: "I grow it at home, not buy it. It's not much, I'll keep half of it and give it to you."

Editor Lin is a kind person and takes good care of her new subordinate, so why not take this opportunity to thank her.

"This... I'm so embarrassed!" Editor Lin declined with a smile.

Xue Ling said with a smile: "The barley grown at home is delicious. I brought more than ten kilograms of barley back to my husband's house this time. There is nothing good in the countryside. They are all vegetables and grains grown in my own fields. We and I can't eat so much, and it's not an expensive thing." , Sister Lin, please don’t be polite."

Editor Lin heard what she said and was very happy to accept it.

"Thank you then!"

At this time, Liu Xing walked out of Deputy Director Zhen's office with a very unhappy face, lying on his desk, sighing and motionless.

Xue Ling was surprised and whispered: "What's going on?"
