The two Girl s behind did not come over. Watching the two from a distance, not everyone would have the nerve to speak of marriage. For Girl who had not been married off, this kind of question would always be taboo.

Maw nodded. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was still soft and gentle. "But I can hear and think." Ah Yun, I know you are doing this for my own good. " They naturally understood each other's feelings from a young age.

His footsteps were hurried. The distance from the village gate to her house was only a few dozen paces. A sixteen-year-old Girl, however, was not weak at all. She took a deep breath as she carried such a heavy basket of dishes home.

The sun had risen. The May sun. It was a warm slap on his body. Pingping added a bit of irritation.

Mai stood in the yard with one hand over his face. His five slender fingers slowly separated as the sun shone through them, not too hot nor too warm. It was as if his heart was warmed by the sunlight.

Ah Man put her hands down and took the wild vegetables to the kitchen. She put them outside and soon withered in the sun. They were hard to preserve. When he entered the room, his mother was sewing. The bright red cotton was her wedding dress. Seeing her enter, the paralyzed mother smiled with a hint of fawning. Mang, you're back. "

Ah Man nodded and replied, "Yes."

"The sun is good outside. I'll take out the mattress and bask it in the sun for a while."

His mother, leaning on her walking stick, stepped down to make room for him. Maw pulled the mattress off the bed and draped it over the clothes pole outside. He took out another bed and put it back on. It had been dried yesterday. There was also the smell of dry sunlight.

Mubai supported his mother and helped her sit on the bed once more. She had nothing to say to the man who had remained silent several times. After doing all that, she turned and left.

It was noon, so she wanted to hurry up and prepare some food. Her father and brother would have to eat when they returned later.

Maw washed her hands first. Then go to the old jar in the corner and fish out the salted turnips. It wouldn't be too much to call them a pile of potatoes after she had washed them with water. Each of them was a little bigger than a person's eyes, so she didn't even need to cut them.

The cornmeal had been served before breakfast and was placed on the counter. He lit the fire and washed the pot. The salted radish was done and some meat oil was added. An explosion. The radish sticks and potatoes are ready for cooking. After that, he pasted Corn pancake s and the light yellow Corn pancake s pasted a circle around the pot. At the same time, he brought out dinner.

There was no water in the tank. Since the pot was boiling, Mang cleaned the entrance of the pit and picked up the two buckets beside the water vat. She still had to go get more water.

The well was in the middle of the village, and when she got there, only one person was carrying water. Seeing her come over, he didn't say anything, but his face was a little gloomy.

He was originally a bit taller than her, but when he stood on the well, he was also a lot taller than her. Looking at her in this way, his eyes expressed all of the emotions he was feeling in his heart. Not at all.

He didn't want to leave, but she still wanted to fetch water. After a while, Abba and the others would return, and they would even need to wash their faces.

Without a word, she went around him and lowered the bucket while shaking it.

The two of them stood with their backs to each other and did not speak. The only sounds around them were the disturbing sounds of cicadas and the bucket hitting the wall. The atmosphere was eerie and quiet.

The 18-year-old youngster's skin was the color of healthy wheat. His nose was straight and his eyes were wide open. He looked to be in high spirits, but his face was gloomy. He began to pant heavily in anger. And more and more angry.

However, this anger did not get any response from Mai. She filled the water, picked up the carrying pole, and crouched a little, placing the carrying pole on her shoulder, then stood up. Two buckets of water were hung on the two ends of the carrying pole, and even the girl's thin and slender body trembled a couple of times.

The youth was like a calf as he stood there, refusing to budge.

Mang didn't say anything, he went around once again and walked away shakily with two buckets of water.

The youth's eyes grew bigger and bigger, and his breathing became heavier and heavier. However, just as his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, his anger suddenly died down. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and chased after them, snatching the carrying pole away without a second word.

"Let go, I will choose for myself."

Her eyes were calm, but her hands were working hard. Her voice was soft but firm.

The teenager did not let go. He only wanted to snatch the carrying pole. What, I can't even choose to go into the water, it's not like I've never tried to go into the water before. "Now that we're getting married, it's time to get serious."

"Such fearless words made Ah Mi blush with shame and anger." Chen Erniu, you can say whatever you want. Get out of my way, I still want to go home. "

Chen Erniu is a stubborn cow. If you tell me to move aside, I won't let you go.

The two who refused to give in just like that. Under the sun, it didn't matter if it was hot or not.

Mubai was getting more and more agitated. He decided to put down the bucket. He looked at the sun, then at the entrance of the village. The people from the village had returned. The two of them stood there, and if someone saw them, they might even say something. He made up his mind and decided to make the matter clear. Ye Zichen raised his head and looked at the small child in front of him. Chen Erniu, I never thought of marrying you, not now, not in the past.

Pursing his lips, he extended a pair of small, naturally born feet and directly stepped on Chen Erniu's feet. While Chen Erniu was distracted, he took the opportunity to snatch the carrying pole back and quickly left. Chen Erniu, who was left behind, hugged his feet and looked at her back angrily.

Ah Mi returned home. As expected, Ah Pa and Ah Ge came back. Argo took her carrying pole and carried the water inside and scooped it out to wash her face.

She washed her hands with the water and entered the house. She moved the Eight Immortals Table to the side of the brick bed, cleaned up the dishes, and went to flip the pot over. The tortilla had changed from a light yellow to a golden yellow color. It was originally a pleasant color, but eating it every day was no longer a pleasant and annoying thing to do.

When the dishes were served, Abba had already entered the room. He put the pipe aside and started to eat.

The entire family was not talkative, and at this time, the dining table was completely still, with only the sound of food being eaten.

No matter how angry Chen Erniu was, he still had to go home. Pouting his mouth wide open, he picked up the water, he was strong to begin with, it was not difficult to scoop up two buckets of water. When he returned home, his mother Aunt had already prepared food, and when she saw him come in, she called him over to eat.

He was sitting there sullenly with the mixed grains in his hand, yet he couldn't eat them. With great difficulty, he gathered up his courage and said, "Father, Mother, I want to marry Ah Mang."

Chen Erniu looked just like his father. His eyes were the same as his father's.

"Don't even think about it, let's eat."
