Chapter 22

Lin Dalei put down the hoe on his shoulder, and took a cloth bag from his waist, which was made by binding his coat.When he untied it, there were piles of huge jujubes inside, which were freshly picked, so Aunt Wang smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Oh, Da Lei is so caring, it's best for women to eat some jujubes." , your Uncle Wang can’t do it, alas, I don’t have that blessing.”

Yue Niang glanced at Da Lei, reached out and took out a handful of dates, handed it to Aunt Wang, and said, "Thank you Aunt Wang for your help today, these dates are not worth anything, if you like, you can take some home. "

Aunt Wang laughed and refused, but stretched out her hand: "Look at you, why are you being so polite? I didn't help much. Well, it's time for me to go home and cook for the children. By the way, Mother of the month, just ask Da Lei to get it from me later, I won’t send it over.”

Yueniang nodded in agreement, and Aunt Wang happily went home with a large handful of jujubes.

Lin Dalei watched Aunt Wang leave suspiciously, then turned around and asked Xiang Yueniang: "What did you ask me to go to her house for?"

Yueniang thought to herself that if he was asked to make some winter clothes for him, he would definitely not want it, so she said, "It's just that it's cold, and Aunt Wang said she still has extra cotton at home, so she can make some winter clothes for us to wear. "

When the word "us" was mentioned, as if the two of them were already a family, Yueniang felt an inexplicable joy and nervousness in her heart, she bit her lip and looked up at Lin Dalei's expression.

Lin Dalei didn't seem to realize it, and nodded in agreement: "Well, I should make some winter clothes with you." After speaking, he handed the jujube in his arms to Yueniang, and said somewhat unnaturally, "I heard that it is good for women to eat more dates, so when they came back from the field and passed by the forest, they went in and picked some."

After speaking, he saw that the dates were still covered with mud, so he withdrew his hands to wash them off.Turning around and seeing Yueniang staring blankly in place, he frowned and said, "The jujubes will be cooked with the porridge later, do you want to eat some now?"

But Yueniang seemed to be taken aback by him, she was stunned for a moment, and then replied gruffly: "I... don't need it, just eat porridge."

Lin Dalei was a little puzzled, since he came back from the field, he felt that the way Yueniang looked at him was different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different.

"Then go back to the house and rest, I'll call you after dinner."

She didn't do anything, but he should be the one who should rest.Yueniang couldn't help but shifted her gaze to the scar on his right. It was about the length of one of her hands. I don't know how deep it was, but there must have been a lot of blood.

Sensing her gaze, Lin Dalei flickered for a moment, but his expression remained the same. He put the washed dates into the pot and started cooking.

This is a woman's job, but because of others, he has to bear all this alone. He could have lived the same life as others, if he was willing to treat himself better and be less tolerant and tolerant to others.But in this case, she might not have the possibility of meeting him.If you think about it this way, there are some benefits.

Yueniang looked at his busy figure, he was a tall and burly man, bent over in that small kitchen, looking very aggrieved, she pursed her lips and smiled, walked forward, whispered: "You worked hard today, let me come."

Lin Dalei glanced at her in surprise, with disbelief in Yueniang's ability to do this job.

Yueniang bit her lips, and cast a sideways glance at him, a little coquettishly angry: "Didn't you get it all done, I just add firewood to it, it's not easy!"

Lin Dalei was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, chuckled lightly, and said kindly: "Since that's the case, then I'll have to work hard for you."

After saying that, he gave her the place, and picked up the leftover straw and bellflowers from the morning and continued to repair the leaks in the kitchen.

The kitchen is too small, even though Yueniang is a little thin, but Lin Dalei alone occupies most of the open space, and the two of them are very close, Yueniang can even feel his heat source from the subtle air, strong and Calm, as if it surrounded her completely.He didn't have the smell of sweat like the peasants in the past. How should I put it, it was like the fresh earthy smell she smelled when she opened the door this morning, simple and at ease.

The mind was spent elsewhere, and the subordinates naturally neglected it. The fire gradually burned over. Yueniang looked at the busy Lin Dalei from the corner of her eyes, and was scalded by the flames when she accidentally added firewood.

Lin Dalei heard her small exclamation, and turned around quickly to check where she was burned.Yueniang withdrew her hand, blushing in embarrassment, and said: "I'm fine, I just got burned, it doesn't hurt at all."

Lin Dalei sighed, and said, "Let me cook it." If this goes on, when will we be able to cook a good meal?
"No need, I was distracted just now, let me do it." Just now I said that lighting a fire is easy, but now it seems that she can't even do such a simple thing, she is not such a useless person.

"Wandering? How could you be distracted?" Lin Dalei wondered.
