farmer's little girl

Chapter 21 Thank You, Uncle Jinzi
From that day on, Mrs. Mei also started to leave early and return late.

Occasionally Lu Minghai did not see his daughter-in-law when he came back earlier, and he asked twice, but Lu Jiaoyue used the excuses given by Mei to perfunctory them.

Lu Minghai knew that his daughter-in-law was still angry with him, but his mother knelt down and begged them like that, how could a son have the heart to refuse.If he couldn't refuse, he could only use his ruthless efforts to earn money. He has no other skills, but he knows how to sell tofu. If he travels two miles, he can sell more tofu. To make a little money, what farmers need most is strength.

But Lu Minghai was very tired, but he didn't notice it. Every day he went home and fell asleep after eating.Because of this, he didn't notice anything unusual about his wife.

And Mei went out for a few days, even though she pretended to be relaxed when she came back, Lu Jiaoyue still knew from the occasional fatigue on her brows that her mother's job was not easy.

She was worried and anxious in her heart, but she couldn't do anything else, so she could only do all the housework at home.Then every day when parents come back, serve them a bowl of hot rice or prepare bath water.

Apart from Lu Jiaoyue, only Lu Guangzhi discovered some clues.

On this day, after the couple in the second room went out, Lu Guangzhi came to Lu Jiaoyue's room.

"sister……"

"What's the matter?" Lu Jiaoyue raised her head from the embroidery work in her hand, and looked at her younger brother.

Lu Guangzhi grinned and said, "It's nothing, Er Gouzi and the others are going up the mountain to cut firewood, so I'll go with them."

Lu Jiaoyue put down the needle and thread in her hand, and frowned slightly: "Why are you chopping firewood again? You have been going up the mountain to chop firewood these days. I think the woodshed is almost full of firewood."

Lu Guangzhi's face froze for a moment, and he said: "There are still people who think there is too much firewood. Er Gouzi and the others called me, so I went with them."

Lu Jiaoyue nodded without saying anything else.

Lu Guangzhi went out soon.

Lu Jiaoyue thought for a while, changed her clothes, and quietly followed him out.

Ever since her mother went to work in the county, Lu Jiaoyue had taken over all the laundry at home, so she was aware of her second brother's abnormalities in the past few days.Lu Guangzhi himself didn't know that the clothes he changed every day were very dirty and dusty. Even if he went to the mountain to cut firewood to get his clothes dirty again, it wouldn't be so dirty.

From a distance, I saw my younger brother leaving the village and turning towards a dirt road.

Lu Jiaoyue took a look, this is the way to the town.She had mixed feelings in her heart, but she didn't care too much about it, she gritted her teeth and put her feet behind her.

Just go all the way.

Lu Guangzhi was very vigilant, and Lu Jiaoyue didn't dare to follow him, but just followed him from a distance, as long as he didn't lose track.

From Daxi Village to Yuntian Town, if you walk, it will take about half an hour.

Lu Jiaoyue had never walked such a long distance before, so she just gritted her teeth and persisted.Her heart seemed to be frying in a frying pan. She was worried and angry at the same time, with various speculations in her mind.He obviously already had the answer in his heart, but he couldn't believe it, and couldn't bear to believe it.

It was very hot, and she was out of breath and sweating profusely.

Lu Guangzhi had already gone so far that he could only see a black spot in the distance.Lu Jiaoyue couldn't help feeling a little anxious, so she quickened her pace, but she didn't notice the movement behind her.

A carriage passed by her and suddenly stopped not far in front of her.Lu Jiaoyue didn't think much about it, she continued to walk, and when she passed the carriage, a voice stopped her.

"Are you Jiaoyue?"

Lu Jiaoyue was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at the people in the carriage.

It was the man named Han Jin, my uncle's friend.

She frowned slightly, and looked at him suspiciously.

Han Jin's face was slightly condensed, and a strange color flashed in his dark black pupils, and he said: "I am your little uncle's friend." It seemed to remind her.

Lu Jiaoyue nodded, but did not speak.

She has never talked much, especially when she is in front of outsiders.

Frustrated, Han Jin couldn't help coughing a few times, "Where are you going, I'll give you a ride." His eyes were inadvertently scanning her body again and again.

Today, she is not as brightly dressed as that day. She is wearing indigo blue cotton clothes, which seem to be worn for work, and a turban is wrapped around her head. You can see the beauty inside.

Her skin is very white, like the whitest white jade, with a faint sense of warmth and transparency.Slender willow eyebrows, watery almond eyes, and petal-like lips, making people want to take a bite.

Because he always goes in and out of Fengyuan Street on weekdays, Han Jin has met many women, and even the Yao sister saw that he was physically strong, good-looking, and had some money in her pocket, so she wanted to hook him up.But Han Jin doesn't like any of them, he thinks it's dirty!Especially after meeting her, he looked down on those women even more.

Lu Jiaoyue hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "Thank you, I don't need to trouble you so much."

Her voice was very soft, soft and soft, tickling Han Jin's heart.Seeing that she rejected him again, he couldn't help but forcefully said: "No trouble, just get in the car."

Lu Jiaoyue stood still, why did this person seem to be unable to understand the words, could it be that he did not understand what she meant?How could she, a big girl, get into a man's car, especially a car of someone she didn't know very well.

She didn't know what to say to this man, so she could only walk around the carriage in silence, with her head down and continue walking.But within a few steps, she heard the sound of horseshoes behind her, and the car passed her again and stopped in front of her.

Lu Jiaoyue frowned.

Before she could say anything, she heard the other party say: "Hurry up and get in the car, with your footsteps, you will be lost in no time."

Only then did Lu Jiaoyue realize that the black spot was no longer visible in the distance, and she became very anxious.

"Your little uncle and I have been friends for many years, don't you have any worries?"

Helpless, Lu Jiaoyue could only get on the carriage.

The carriage was a bit high, and with Lu Jiaoyue's height, she could only climb up it.But this kind of behavior is very embarrassing for her, she has never done such an indecent move.

Looking at the high shaft of the car, Lu Jiaoyue was stunned, her face slowly turned red.

In fact, Han Jin really wanted to help. He checked her physique with his eyes, and he hugged her with one arm.But although he was agitated at the moment, he still hadn't lost his sanity, so he could only suppress the turmoil in his heart, jumped out of the carriage, took a horse stool, and placed it in front of her.

Lu Jiaoyue exhaled lightly, and looked at the other party gratefully.

After getting into the carriage, Han Jin flicked his whip, and the carriage ran forward.

"Who is that person you're following?" He asked seemingly indifferently.

He actually observed her for a while. He was going to the county, but when he passed by Zhaojiatun, somehow he made a detour to Daxi village by some strange and mysterious circumstances.He thought, maybe he could meet her?Knowing that this is impossible, he still couldn't help thinking this way, and did so, but he actually ran into her, and saw her seeming to be following someone from a distance.

Lu Jiaoyue paused, then whispered, "It's my younger brother."

Because she wanted to watch people, Lu Jiaoyue didn't sit in the carriage, but sat on the other side of the seat.Han Jin was very considerate, obviously with the horse's footsteps, he could have surpassed Lu Guangzhi in front, but he still held the rein, slowed down, and followed slowly and far behind.

Han Jin nodded, but didn't ask any more questions.

Lu Jiaoyue thought to herself that this person was actually very knowledgeable, if he asked why, she really didn't know how to deal with him.

The car was very quiet, and Han Jin wanted to find something to say.

But he has never been a talkative person, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and he was too attentive, afraid to scare her, but he couldn't make him talk like a woman with a broken mouth. of.

At this moment, a few people came from a distance, Han Jin frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Get in the car."

Lu Jiaoyue was taken aback for a moment, but she hadn't reacted yet.

Han Jin froze, trying not to show the frustration in his heart.

"Someone came over, and if someone saw you sitting in my car, it would hurt your reputation."

Lu Jiaoyue blushed, and immediately understood, she hurriedly moved into the carriage, and after entering, she lowered the curtain from the inside.

"Don't worry, I'll watch over your brother for you."

The other party's voice came from outside the car, and Lu Jiaoyue couldn't help thinking that he really wasn't like the legend.

In just this moment, Lu Jiaoyue could see that the other party was not a bad person.The bad guys will notice that she can't climb into the car and offer to help her put down the horse stool?The bad guys will know that there are clues in it, but they are very respectful and don't ask more?Will the bad guys be afraid of ruining her reputation, and take the initiative to remind her to avoid it?

Especially since he is still my uncle's friend, so he shouldn't be a bad person.

At this time, Han Jin, who was no longer a 'bad guy', was driving past those people with a stiff face.I was very annoyed that these people were ignorant, why didn't they show up sooner or later, and now they showed up, which delayed his getting along with her.

The carriage quickly ran over, Lu Jiaoyue didn't come out again, but continued to stay in the carriage.Because it is close to Yuntian Town, there are more and more people walking on the road.

After an unknown amount of time, a voice came from outside.

"arrive."

Lu Jiaoyue wanted to go out in a hurry, and hurriedly raised the curtain of the car, but she happened to meet Han Jin who turned around to talk to her.

The two were undefended and almost collided.

"Ah!" Lu Jiaoyue let out a low surprise.

Han Jin quickly withdrew his hand holding her arm, "Are you okay?"

The two were so close that they could even feel each other's breathing.Lu Jiaoyue took a tight breath, and quickly stepped back, her face flushed red.The curled fingers were pinched tightly, and the fingertips were so hot that she seemed to have touched him just now.

In just a moment of touching, Lu Jiaoyue could feel the firm texture under the clothes of the other party, which was hard and different from the elder brother and the second younger brother.

Han Jin felt a little regretful, turned his eyes away as if to cover up, and cleared his throat again, "Don't come out in a hurry, you know the way? It's not safe for a big girl to run outside alone. Since I am you Friends of the little uncle, you can't just watch. How about it, I'm fine right now, I'll take you where you want to go. "

Lu Jiaoyue only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

In fact, from the current point of view, it is best for her to stay in the carriage.She was a little anxious at the time, so she followed out without thinking too much, only now did she realize that the town is too close to their village, maybe she will meet one or two acquaintances, and when the time comes, she will pass it back, and her mother will hear it, and she will be reprimanded , she will not have to go out in the future.

If it was the past, she wouldn't go out if she didn't go out, but not now, she still has a lot of things to do.

"Still continue to follow?"

Lu Jiaoyue responded in a low voice, "Thank you, Uncle Jinzi."

The reason why she called him that was because she heard Niu Da call him that that day. He was my uncle's friend, and they were of the same generation, so she naturally wanted to call him uncle.

As for Han Jin, who was called an 'elder' for no reason, his face darkened for a moment, and he felt that he couldn't refute what he wanted to say, so he had no choice but to reply: "You don't have to be so polite." His heart was really blocked.

How did you become an uncle?

But after thinking for a while, he was relieved again.

So let's be uncle, he is Mei Zhuangyi's 'friend', and he is using his name to get close to his niece.He was still thinking about how to dispel the sense of alienation between the two of them, but this would save trouble.

Han Jin can only think about it in such a bitter way.
