Chapter 35(2/2)
The man's gentle smile appeared in front of him, and in a flash, he turned cold as cold as frost, his faint eyes looked like a wolf, making people feel cold all over his body.
When he was helping his mother with fire at noon, Aji threw the note into the fire again. As for the orchid picture, Aji couldn't bear to destroy a piece of ink in his hand, so he put the painting under the box, not seeing it, and was upset.
It was the end of the month and the Lin family was about to produce peanuts.
When he learned that Zhao Chen was coming, Aji had already planned to go back to the room after breakfast. Zhao Chen must have been here after breakfast before rushing over at home. No matter how fast he was, it would take a while. When he arrived, she would not get out of the house, so she would naturally not be able to touch it.
But Aju still underestimated this man.
Early in the morning, Liu was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and Aji cleaned the yard. After just a while, Lin Chongjiu shouted at the door: "I'm back!"
My younger brother went to the forest to mow the grass. He used to come back when breakfast was about to come back. Why is it so early today?
Aji turned around in confusion. Before he could speak, he saw Lin Chongjiu had already entered the gate, and there was a person next to him. The man was tall, wearing a gray coarse cloth dress, with a blue cloth turban on his head and was looking at her intently, with surprise hidden in his phoenix eyes.
Just as Aju was stunned by his outfit, Liu leaned out of the kitchen, wanting to see why his son came back so early, but when she saw Zhao Chen, she stuttered in surprise, "Chengyuan, why are you dressing up like this? Why did you come so early?"
Zhao Chen walked in and smiled, "Today, I'm going to work, this outfit is the most suitable for me. Aunt, I'm afraid I'll come late, so I'll set off before dawn and didn't eat breakfast. If my aunt hasn't finished it yet, please make me one, right?"
If this is someone I don’t know, it will definitely be annoying to come to beg for food early in the morning, but this is a prospective son-in-law! This kind of intimate tone is exactly what the family should have. Liu suddenly smiled: "This child, okay, I won’t talk about you anymore. Go and sit in the house, let’s have a meal together later." After that, he continued to work hard.
When the two were talking, Aji had already put the broom on the wall and was about to enter the house. Later, let her sister bring breakfast to the wing room.
"Aji." Zhao Chen called her.
Aji pretended not to hear it. Didn’t he always pretend to be a gentleman in front of others? Why did he dare to call her now? However, when the man raised his voice slightly and shouted again, it was obvious that she would not give up without stopping. Aji had to stop and asked him sideways, "What did you tell me to do?"
Zhao Chen has lived in the countryside for so many years and knows that the village rules are not strict. If the two of them have not been engaged, of course he cannot call her, but the two have already been married. It would be harmless to say a few words when they meet. Lin Xian and his wife will definitely not blame him. So he walked over and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "Aji, have the wedding dress sewn?" Shu Jin was specially given by him. He asked her to marry her in the wedding dress sewn for him, not the set prepared for Meng Zhongjing.
"Okay." Aji replied lightly, turning around and leaving.
"Aji, are you still angry with me?" Zhao Chen took a few steps in front of her, looking at the girl he was thinking about day and night, and his voice was low and gentle: "I apologize to you about the things on the mountain. I admit that I am not open and honest enough to marry you, but please rest assured. Now that we have been engaged, I will only treat you well in the future and never bully you again." He wants to live with her and warm her heart as soon as possible.
After hearing this, Aji just wanted to sneer, slap her and give her sweet dates, who wouldn't say good things? If he really wants to treat her well, he shouldn't force her to marry.
Zhao Chen didn't expect her to get rid of her anger in a few words. He changed the subject and pointed to his clothes and asked her: "You think I was born rich and not suitable for you. Now that I dress like this, are we very suitable?"
The more he said, the more he became more and more unfair, Aji glared at him, walked around him up the steps, and hurried into the house.
Zhao Chen smiled himself, and did not delay any further, and followed Lin Chongjiu to find Lin Xian.
After the greetings, breakfast was ready, but the sisters Aju did not come and used it in the west wing.
Zhao Chen had already expected that no matter how few rules in the village were, there were still some. He could only wait until he got married before he could have dinner with her.
After the meal, Lin Xian led his prospective son-in-law and his son to collect peanuts.
The villagers were surprised when they saw Zhao Chen on the way. Lin Xian smiled and said that his son-in-law came to help, and he was so proud that he couldn't say it.
If Zhao Chen was just a farmer, it would be nothing if he came to help, but Zhao Chen was a pampered young master. Now he was willing to do rough work, which shows how much he cared about his daughter. Lin Xian was completely relieved. He was afraid that Zhao Chen would bring up a marriage because of his etiquette. In that way, he might not treat her sincerely after marrying her daughter. It is still possible for the husband and wife to truly live together.
The villagers also thought so, and praised Lin Xian for finding another good son-in-law. Zhao Chen listened silently from the side with a smile.
When he arrived at the field, Lin Xian asked Lin Chongjiu to lead the donkey. He helped him hold the plow and then taught his son-in-law to shake off the soil from the peanut seedlings after he got out a ridge. This job is very simple, and Zhao Chen is not tired and pampered, not to mention that he came to please his father-in-law today, and of course he tried his best to work, looking happy with it.
Lin Xian didn't know the son-in-law's thoughts. Seeing him squatting there and working hard, he was only faster than his farmer, but he was more and more pleasing to him.
After noon, Lin Zhu came to call them home for dinner. She and Lin Chongjiu walked in front, while Zhao Chen and his son-in-law and son-in-law walked behind and chatted.
Looking at the backs of the siblings in front of him, Zhao Chen felt like a dream. Three months ago, he rode a horse and passed by this road. He met Aji leading his younger brother home, following her fiancé behind him. Now the crops on both sides are yellow, and her fiancé has become him.
Things in the world were unpredictable, and even he himself could not imagine it. At that time, he was just surprised by her beauty, but later he was increasingly unable to let go and tried every means to marry her.
But this feeling is very good.
Unfortunately, his beautiful fiancée hid at noon and refused to let him see it anymore. After lunch, she stayed in the west wing room and never showed up.
Disappointment is inevitable, but Zhao Chen is more funny. In Aji's eyes, he should be a wolf, and in his eyes, she is a deer. He feels cute even when he evades and evades, and then he is more and more eager for what will she react when he finally catches her by his side.
After another busy afternoon, Zhao Chen returned to Zhuangzi.
Ning had been waiting for him in the house and handed him the letter in his hand: "Your father can be here on the night of October 17th, and he will have to set off after the wedding banquet the next day."
October?
Zhao Chen took the letter and quickly scanned it.
It's a little late, but he can afford to wait.
