"Really?" Xiang Qiu's heart was a little moved.

"Really! When the weather is hot, the folks in the village will go to the village entrance to enjoy the shade under the big mulberry tree, and the children will also go to the village entrance to play. It's very lively!" Ke Hanxue continued.

"Xue'er, do you often go to the entrance of the village to enjoy the shade in summer?" Xiang Qiuxin asked.

Ke Hanxue smiled and said, "I rarely go."

In the past, for the livelihood of the family, she didn't have such idle thoughts at all, but grandma and mother would occasionally take Hong'er and the others to the entrance of the village to sit with the villagers.

Xiang Qiuxin didn't know the reason why Ke Hanxue didn't go, and asked again: "Xue'er, the reason why you don't go is because you are a girl who didn't come out of the court, so do you want to avoid it?"

Hearing this, Ke Hanxue smiled again: "No, we country people are not so particular. Besides, women usually go to the entrance of the village, so there is nothing to avoid."

"That's right." Xiang Qiuxin was eager to try.

"Qiu Xin, if you like our village, come to my house to play again this summer, and then I will take you to the entrance of the village."

"Okay." Xiang Qiuxin smiled.

"Qiu Xin, the stone slab under our feet is where the villagers wash their clothes." Ke Hanxue said again.

Xiang Qiuxin took a look at the rock under her feet, and it was still wet, guessing that the laundryman had just left.

"Don't you have a well at home, why do you come here to wash clothes?" Xiang Qiuxin asked again in wonder.

In town, she had never heard of anyone doing laundry outside.

"Not every household in the village has a well. Speaking of which, only my family and Ge's family have wells in the entire village. This river is the lifeblood of our entire village. Everyone drinks from this river. water."

Xiang Qiuxin nodded in understanding, and asked again: "Then your house has a well now, so you don't need to wash clothes in this river?"

"If we wash bed sheets and other big things, we will still come to the river to wash them. It is convenient to wash those things here." Ke Hanxue paused, and then said: "Qiu Xin, why don't I take you to the river tomorrow Come do the laundry?"

"This..." Xiang Qiuxin hesitated.

"You don't like it here?"

"No, I like it!" Xiang Qiuxin replied a little anxiously, then blushed and hesitated: "It's just, it's just..."

At this time, Chunxiang on the side spoke for Xiang Qiuxin, and said, "Miss Xue'er, my lady has never washed clothes by herself!"

After listening to Chunxiang's words, Ke Hanxue laughed as if waking up from a dream. It was because she didn't turn her head around for a while. Qiuxin is a lady from a rich family, how could she wash clothes by herself?

"It's okay, you don't know how to wash, just watch me wash, I just want you to feel the atmosphere of our countryside." Ke Hanxue smiled again.

"Then, do many people wash clothes here every morning?" Xiang Qiuxin asked timidly.

"There are quite a lot, but they are all women, don't be afraid." Ke Hanxue comforted.

Xiang Qiu thought for a while, then smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Seeing Ke Hanxue squatting down and playing with the water in the river, Xiang Qiu's heart moved, and he also squatted down. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Chunxiang exclaimed: "Miss—"

Xiang Qiuxin frowned, and lightly reprimanded: "Why are you so loud?"

"Miss, you are weak, you can't touch the cold water!" Chunxiang said anxiously, the weather is still cold, if the lady catches a cold, the lady will definitely blame her for not taking good care of the lady.

Because Ouyang Fan and the others were standing far away, they didn't see the situation by the river. When they heard Chunxiang's scream, they rushed over and asked, "What happened?"

Ke Hanxue has known Ouyang Fan since years ago, and he has always had that calm expression on his face, why has he ever been so panicked?
Ke Hanxue frowned, looked at him thoughtfully, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: Could it be that the mute put him in Shuihe Village not just for Ge Yunzhang?
"It's okay, I just want to stop my lady from playing with water." Seeing that they were frightened, Chunxiang smiled a little embarrassedly.

Ouyang Fan frowned, and gave Chunxiang a displeased look, before leading them back to the shore.

"Forget it, it's almost lunch time, let's go back and cook!" Ke Hanxue wiped her hands, pulled Xiang Qiuxin up and left.

Xiang Qiuxin was about to ask something when he suddenly realized that the Ke family had no servants and it was normal to cook by himself, so he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Knowing that Xiang Qiuxin was coming today, Ke Hanxue prepared some dishes in advance.

Seeing Ke Hanxue enter the kitchen, Xiang Qiuxin followed him.

Chunxiang helped to light the fire, Ke Hanxue cooked, and Xiang Qiuxin stood aside and watched.

Seeing Ke Hanxue's quick hands and feet, and cooking more than a dozen delicious dishes in a short while, Xiang Qiu only had admiration in his eyes.

"Xue'er, you are really amazing!"

"If you are willing to learn, you will definitely be no worse than me." Ke Hanxue smiled and brought out the two dishes.

Xiang Qiuxin was about to help serve the dishes, when Chunxiang shouted again: "Miss, don't move, let the servants come!"

At this time, Mrs. Ke Jiang and Mrs. Ke Zhong also came in, and smiled and took Chunxiang's words: "Miss Xiang, you can't do this rough work, let us do it."

Xiang Qiuxin smiled awkwardly, turned around and followed Ke Hanxue.

Ke Hanxue noticed that Xiang Qiuxin's expression was unnatural, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

"Xue'er, I suddenly feel that I'm really useless, I'm just causing trouble to others." Xiang Qiuxin said dejectedly, everyone was worried about letting her serve a dish.

"Qiu Xin, you're too sensitive. My family treats you as a guest. I'm sorry to ask you to do things. I'll talk to them later." Ke Hanxue comforted her with a smile.

"Is that true?" Xiang Qiuxin was dubious.

"Of course it is!" Ke Hanxue smiled: "My family treats you as a guest, but I don't. How about going to the field with me after dinner?"

"Okay." Xiang Qiuxin smiled again.

"Qiu Xin, if you are willing to learn cooking, I can teach you too." Ke Hanxue said again.

"Yes, I am willing!" Xiang Qiuxin responded eagerly, she wanted to try everything now.

When the food was on the table, Brother Ke Shuisheng was also called back. In addition to Chunxiang and two nurses, there were two tables full of people.

Chunxiang and the two nurses didn't dare to eat with them, but they couldn't stand Ke Hanxue's persuasion. In the end, Xiang Qiuxin spoke again, and the three sat down in panic.

The whole family ate and chatted lively. Seeing that the Ke family was warm and kind, Xiang Qiuxin's nervousness slowly receded.

After lunch and rest for a while, Ke Hanxue took the hoe and took Xiang Qiuxin to the ground. The ground has been dug up, and the next step is to irrigate the ground and prepare the ground.
