farmer's wife

Chapter 113 People Are Better Looking
Shi Daming was sent back to the village.

When the villagers in the village saw Granny Shi and others coming back, they all came to have a look curiously.

The Shi family's original dilapidated yard and more than one mu of land have been taken by the gambling house to pay off the debt.

Granny Shi didn't have anything to take away, she just told Xiao Lie that she wanted to take this opportunity to see the people who helped them in the past.

Xiao Lie naturally agreed.

Coming over in a hurry, the three members of the Shi family took out the money they had saved for more than half a year and sent it to someone who had borrowed money or helped them in the past.

Everyone saw that they were still alive and well, and they were very relieved to cry bitterly while holding each other.

After taking care of Shi Daming's funeral and worrying about Fu Yan at home, Xiao Lie, Granny Shi and others set off to return to Shizhou City.

At night, the carriage stopped at the back door of the yard.

When Fu Yan heard the movement, she put on her clothes and came over to open the door.

"Why are you back at this point?"

Xiao Lie helped her back to the house: "After the matter is over, I might as well come back earlier."

"Is everything going well at home these two days?"

"Everything is fine. Shisheng came over a few times to deliver food, and you will thank him for me later."

"Well, I know. I'll treat him to another meal in two days."

"And bring our pastry, his wife loves it, and Shisheng has bought it several times."

"Okay, listen to you."

After Fu Yan was settled, Xiao Lie went to Xiao Jian's room to have a look.

Xiao Jian's face was ruddy and she was sleeping soundly.The movement in the yard failed to wake him up.

Xiao Lie stroked his younger brother's cute sleeping face, tucked his small arms back out of the quilt, tucked the corners of the quilt, and then walked out lightly.

In the backyard, Shi Yang had already pulled the carriage into the stable and parked it, and added fodder for the horse.

Xiao Lie: "Close the door, everyone go back and rest."

The next day, everyone in the Xiao family was busy with their day's work as usual, and it was peaceful.

Granny Shi is old after all, Xiao Lie asked her to clean up and rest at home, and he and Shi Yang Shiman entertained guests in the shop.

As if nothing had happened, Shi Yangshi's brother and sister were still chatting and laughing as they did in the past.

Xiao Lie occasionally raised his head to look at the two of them, but finally did not say a word.

And in the backyard, Granny Shi refused to rest, and decided to cook chicken soup for Fu Yan herself.

After closing the shop and returning to the backyard, Shi Yang put away his smile and plunged into the kitchen to prepare pastries for the next day.

Shi Man took the embroidery he had been practicing before, and sat next to Fu Yan to embroider seriously, asking a few questions about the method from time to time.

Although the family seems to be the same as before, the sensitive Xiao Jian still finds something weird.I don't play around anymore today, just stay in the study obediently and practice calligraphy and endorsement.

After an ordinary lunch, Xiao Lie helped Fu Yan go back to the east room for a lunch break.

Fu Yan watched Xiao Lie put the clothes away one by one, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Alie, do you feel that Granny Shi and the others are not in the right mood today?"

Xiao Lie paused, "You should still not let it go."

Xiao Lie sighed, and told Fu Yan everything that happened in the past two days.

Love and hate are the most complicated emotions, how can they be cleared up and forgotten immediately.

That person has different feelings from Granny Shi, Shi Yang, and Shi Man, not to mention that the three of Shi's family probably don't want them to worry.

Fu Yan thought for a while: "Then let's watch first and give them time to deal with themselves."

Time will heal regret and pain.

**
In a few days it will be the Shangyuan Festival.

At night, red lanterns are hung everywhere in Shizhou City, and the festive atmosphere is festive and lively.

Seeing Fu Yan's desire to go shopping, Xiao Lie said, "Let's go, I'll take you out to see the lantern festival."

"Really?" Fu Yan looked at him in surprise.

No matter how many times he was relieved, Xiao Lie was always more nervous than her pregnant mother, the closer the due date was, the more nervous he would be.

Several times when Fu Yan was kicked awake by the baby in the middle of the night, she found Xiao Lie was guarding her side, staring intently at his stomach.

When Fu Yan asked him why he was still awake, Xiao Lie shook his head and said he just woke up.

Nothing happened at home, and there was nothing to ask, so Fu Yan just thought it was his first time being a father, and he was also nervous.

Xiao Lie would go out with her when there were few people around.

But for this kind of festivals and markets, Fu Yan knew that he was worried that he would be hit by crowds, so he didn't take the initiative to ask them to go out.

It's also quite comfortable to sit in the shop and look at it.

Looking at Fu Yan's eyes widened in surprise, Xiao Lie's heart softened, and he felt guilty: "If you want to go out and have a look, go out, I will protect you. But let's go around the east side of the city, let's go." You can't bear it if you are far away."

"Let's go." She was satisfied to go out and have a look.

Sure enough, there are many people on the Lantern Festival.

Even at night, there are no fewer people on the street than during the day.

Fu Yan was wrapped in a cloak and Xiao Lie held her in his arms to watch others guess lantern riddles.

Seeing her excited, Xiao Lie leaned closer to her ear: "Ah Yan, which lantern do you want?"

The old man at the stall not only sells lanterns, but also gives away lanterns if he guesses the answer.

Fu Yan raised the corners of her lips and teased him with a smile: "Brother Alie, do you want to guess lantern riddles for me?"

Just when someone squeezed past, Xiao Lie caught a glimpse of pulling Fu Yan into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Ah Yan, don't laugh at me, I'll buy you one, okay?"

Now he just knows more words and read a few books.He can't do elegant things like writing essays and guessing lantern riddles.

Xiao Lie's breath hit his ears, Fu Yan felt a little itchy, blushed slightly and hid in his arms.

Hearing Xiao Lie's slightly aggrieved and complaining murmur, Fu Yan smiled even more, "Okay, okay, Brother Alie, buy me one! I want the revolving lantern."

Xiao Lie followed her, gave the coin and took the revolving lantern.

Fu Yan carried the lantern and turned it around, the face of the lamp changed, she also smiled and said to Xiao Lie: "It looks good, thank you brother Alie for giving me the lantern."

On the noisy street with people coming and going, the red light reflected by the lanterns could not see the faces of the passers-by clearly, Xiao Lie only saw Fu Yan in the vast world.

She smiled like a lotus, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, holding a lantern in one hand, and protecting their baby with one hand on her belly.

Xiao Lie's heartbeat was getting heavier and louder, and it rang in his ears.

No matter the past, no waiting for the future, only this moment, he must keep this kind of happiness firmly in his heart.

And his younger generation's memory of the past twenty years has already been filled with various appearances of Fu Yan.

Xiao Lie suppressed his ups and downs, took Fu Yan's hand and walked back.

After a long while, Fu Yan heard the man say in a low voice: "Lights look good, people look better."

Come on, it's hard for this stupid person to say a word of love.

Fu Yan looked at his red ears, just smiled and stopped talking.

When they returned to the yard, Granny Shi and the others also came back.

Xiao Jian and Shi Man played around the yard with the lantern Shi Yang bought for them.

"Master and Madam are back, Xiaoyuanzi has just been cooked." Granny Shi greeted them both into the house with a smile.

"Come here, sesame stuffing, fruit stuffing, meat stuffing, let's see which flavor everyone can eat."

"Ah Jian has fruit stuffing!"
