When he heard Jiujiu ask him if he was also here to cut the pigweed, he was stunned. Huang Yixiao was stunned for a moment. Under Jiujiu's clear eyes, he nodded blankly.
Jiujiu pursed her pink lips and said in a small voice, "Why don't we do it together?"
Although they hadn't gotten married yet, Chen Zhangsheng and Huang Yixiao had already agreed that as long as she didn't go back on her words, this marriage was in the bag. They could even cut the pigweed together.
When he saw Jiujiu's red and swollen eyes, Huang Yixiao thought that Jiujiu was crying because she didn't agree to this marriage, but he didn't think that Jiujiu would actually open her mouth to invite him to cut the pigweed together. Huang Yixiao was instantly stunned.
He lowered his head to look at Jiujiu. Although Jiujiu's eyes were already swollen, there was a faint smile at the corner of her mouth. Her clear eyes didn't have a trace of disgust, but instead slowly filled with anticipation.
Being looked at by such a beautiful girl with such a moving gaze, no matter who it was, they wouldn't have the heart to reject her. However, when he saw that Jiujiu's delicate hands were stained with the green juice from cutting the pigweed, Huang Yixiao's handsome eyebrows immediately knit together. He took the sickle from Jiujiu's hands and said, "Let me help you."
After Huang Yixiao finished speaking, he pushed Jiujiu to the side and picked up the sickle to cut the pigweed.
Huang Yixiao was tall and strong, and his strength was even greater. Coupled with Chen Zhangsheng's incomparably sharp sickle, cutting the pigweed was simply overkill. Not long later, Jiujiu's basket of pigweed, which originally only needed half a basket of pigweed, was filled to the brim and was even spilling out.
However, when he saw the pigweed in the basket, Huang Yixiao's brows instantly knit together.
Just now, he only wanted to quickly cut the pigweed for Jiujiu so that she could go home, but he didn't expect that such a big basket, even if it was filled to the brim, would still be more than ten catties. Not to mention, he used his hands to press it a few times just now. Now, the pigweed in the basket was as sturdy as a rock, at least fifteen catties.
Jiujiu was petite and didn't even weigh ninety catties. She wouldn't be able to carry such a big basket of pigweed even if it was given to her.
He originally wanted to avoid arousing suspicion, but now that he saw the fifteen catties of pigweed, Huang Yixiao only cared about Jiujiu and couldn't think of anything else. he directly bent over and carried the basket on his back.
Although Huang Yixiao was carrying more than 15 kilograms of pigweed on his shoulder, it was as if he was carrying an empty basket. His steps were light and quick.
As. "Huang Yixiao as he walked, he Jiao's't's't, Jiu's's's,'s's, let's carry it's for you...
Huang Yixiao was kind enough to help her cut the pigweed and even took the initiative to carry it back.
Their relationship hadn't even been set in stone yet, but Huang Yixiao was already doting on her. If they really got together, Huang Yixiao would probably give her his heart.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and followed Huang Yixiao's footsteps.
When they went up the mountain, it was uphill and very tiring. However, when they went down, it was downhill. Moreover, Huang Yixiao was carrying the pigweed and holding the sickle in his hand. Jiujiu didn't have anything to do, so it was even easier for her to walk.
In a short while, the two of them arrived at Jiujiu's house.
Jiujiu opened the door, and Huang Yixiao walked in with the pigweed on his back. Looking at the small but warm house, his face revealed a yearning expression.
Chen Zhangsheng had told him everything. Although Jiujiu was marrying him, Chen Zhangsheng said that he would move in with them after they got married because of his family's situation and the fact that he had to participate in the provincial examination in three years. Firstly, they could help him take care of his mother. Secondly, he could focus on his studies and the provincial examination in three years.
Although living in his father-in-law's house after marriage was no different from marrying into the family, his family was poor and only had a few simple thatched huts. Moreover, he had to work to earn money, take care of his mother, and study hard. He really didn't have enough energy. If Chen Zhangsheng could really help him take care of his mother, he was willing to marry into the family.
Huang Yixiao was most worried about Jiujiu's attitude. Now that he saw Jiujiu's appearance, it seemed that she had tacitly agreed to their relationship. Since Jiujiu had agreed, then this marriage was naturally a sure thing. Therefore, Jiujiu's house would be his future home.
Moreover, looking at the fourth house that was just built, Huang Yixiao's heart felt even more warm.
Chen Zhangsheng's house only needed three huts. Huang Yixiao was well aware of why the fourth house was built.
If he moved in, his mother would naturally move in as well. He could live with Jiujiu, but his mother needed a separate house. The newly built house was naturally for his mother.
He and Jiujiu hadn't married yet, but Chen Zhangsheng planned for him like this. It could be seen that he was sincerely good to him.
Huang Yixiao was a person who knew how to repay kindness. Chen Zhangsheng was good to him, so he would be good to Chen Zhangsheng wholeheartedly. Now Chen Zhangsheng was considerate of him in every aspect. He even discussed with him that after he married Jiujiu, he would pay off the debts outside for him.
Huang Yixiao understood that with his family's conditions and Jiujiu's conditions, even if Chen Zhangsheng asked him to marry into the family, it was possible. But now, Chen Zhangsheng didn't ask him to marry into the family. Instead, he was considerate of him in every aspect. This kindness was really as deep as the sea.
Huang Yixiao put the pigweed in the corner. When he saw Jiujiu get up and go to the kitchen to cook, he said goodbye to Jiujiu and turned to leave.
In fact, he wanted to help Jiujiu cut the pigweed, but now they weren't engaged. Although they knew their relationship, the villagers didn't know. People's gossip was a fearful thing. If Jiujiu's reputation was affected because of his actions, he couldn't make up for it even if he died a hundred times.
Although Chen Zhangsheng's family wasn't very rich, it was more than enough. At least, they could eat enough every day. And because Chen Zhangsheng and Ma Juhua were more capable, there were a lot of seasonal vegetables in the backyard of the house. Although there weren't many, it was enough for them to eat.
Jiujiu went to the backyard to find some green vegetables. Seeing that the shepherd's purse was relatively fresh and tender, she picked all the shepherd's purse in the vegetable field and prepared to make a cold shepherd's purse.
Jiujiu's hands and feet were nimble, and she quickly finished preparing lunch.
As soon as Chen Zhangsheng and Ma Juhua entered the house, they smelled the tempting fragrance. Chen Zhangsheng needed to put the farming tools, but Ma Juhua went directly to the kitchen. When she saw Jiujiu cooking briskly, although her eyelids were still a little red and swollen, she didn't look unhappy at all. Ma Juhua's heart, which had been in her throat for the whole afternoon, was instantly relieved.
Ma Juhua went outside to wash her hands. When she saw a basket full of pigweed in the corner, Ma Juhua directly shouted at the top of her voice, "Jiujiu, did you go to cut the pigweed today?"
Such a basket of pigweed weighed at least 20 kilograms.
Ma Juhua went to the basket and raised her hand to lift it. She was surprised.
She originally thought that the basket was at most 20 kilograms, but now, looking at the basket, it was at least 15 kilograms. How could she not know Jiujiu's body? In such a short time, Jiujiu would definitely not be able to cut so much pigweed, nor would she be able to memorize it.
