C64 (2/2)

Liu Yuan did not refuse. He extended his hand and received the hairpin while laughing in his heart. How could he have taken it for free?

Aunt Bai and Uncle Liu looked at each other, exchanged glances, smiled and placed the two of them in the main hall, then both went to the kitchen to busy themselves.

When they were alone, Su Zhi didn't know what to say. She sat upright on the wooden chair, looking straight ahead, unable to sit still.

It wasn't because he liked the other party, but because he had lived for two lifetimes and this was his first time going out on a blind date. He just didn't get used to it.

”I heard that Xiaosu's cooking skills are quite good.”

Liu Yuan noticed her uneasiness and was the first to open the conversation.

”It's not that it's that good, it's just that I'm interested in doing this. For example, I know some hand-made soap and facial creams. I don't know if Young Master Liu has anything that can be of use, so I'll be able to bring some back. ”

Liu Yuanyuan gave him a bright smile, ”Little Su, don't call me Young Master Liu. Call me Big Brother Liu.”

Su Zhi smiled and nodded, then said, ”I heard that Big Brother Liu has a girl in his family.”

”That's right. My wife gave it to me. I'm already four and a half this year.”

The two of them chatted idly until Aunt Bai put the dishes on the table. Only then did Su Zhi heave a sigh of relief, before she went next door to Gu Sister-in-Law's home to pick up the two children.

A Jin was sent to a neighbor's house not long ago. The half-grown child seemed to have understood the situation and was sensitive to a trace of abnormality.

Seeing that there was an unfamiliar man in Grandma White's house and that he was so attentive to his mother, he could guess what had happened.

”This must be A Jin and Little Dou, right? They look really cute.”

Liu Yuan took the initiative to get closer to the two kids, taking out a handmade slingshot from his bosom and giving it to the two little guys.

”Thank you, uncle.”

A Jin reluctantly accepted it without showing much happiness.

Compared to Jin who was observing the situation silently, the small bean bun seemed more lively. It took the small gadget from the man and held it in its hand to play with it.

Aunt Bai invited everyone to sit down and eat. She avoided A Jin and said in a low voice, ”Bring Sister Qing here another day. That child is really pitiful. He lost his mother at such a young age.”

”Well, next time, I'll bring you to bother you, Aunt.”

Liu Yuan's eyes were only focused on Su Zhi, so he didn't notice the subtle changes in the child.

Before coming to Spring Leaf Lane, the young man had already made plans to reconnect, whether it was for his daughter to have a mother or because he really needed a woman. More importantly, he wanted a complete home.

More than two years after his wife's death, the elders of his family urged him to find another person who knew his wife. They didn't ask for any beauty, as long as he wasn't a fool and was able to help manage his family.

Seeing Su Zhi today, Liu Yuan was sincerely satisfied.

Su Zhi was pretty, but she did not seem like a married woman at all. Her shyness was even similar to that of a yellow flower girl.

He had not read many books and could not think of any suitable words to describe her, but he was satisfied.

Two children was nothing. He had the ability to support them and was willing to treat them as his own.

The honest and honest man sneakily glanced at the coquettish girl. He was overjoyed in his heart and felt that there was something sweet somewhere.

A Jin scooped up the rice. Some of it was tasteless and less than half the usual appetite. Su Zhi had noticed all of this. Although she didn't show it on her face, she was still worried.

After dinner, Aunt Bai saw that the weather had turned cloudy and it was inconvenient for her to go out for a stroll, so she pulled Su Zhi and Liu Yuan away in the yard.

Liu Yuan was chatty and humorous. He looked simple and honest, but he wasn't in the habit of talking. His personality was also good. He looked like he was living a good life, so there was nothing to be picky about.

Su Zhi's mind was focused on A Jin. She could see that the child was unhappy and couldn't get out of it for a while. Thus, she became even more depressed.

”Why is there a missing piece of the Little Su Family's roof?”

When Liu Yuan walked out of the backyard, he saw that a large piece of the eaves above the main hall had collapsed, as if it had been artificially destroyed by someone.

”Oh, it was a competition between two Jianghu Heroic Assassins when Aunty Liu was taking care of me. I accidentally broke it and paid the bill, but I've been busy and haven't had time to find craftsmen to fix it.”

Liu Yuan understood and volunteered, ”I'm pretty good at renovating houses. If any houses in the neighborhood are damaged, I'll be the one who helps you take care of them. Since we made it in time today, I can help you fix it.”

No matter what, she was still a guest, it would not be good for her to let someone else become a labourer the first time they came.

Liu Yuan insisted on helping her, so he carried the wooden ladder from Aunt Bai's house to Su Zhi's.

”It looks like winter is about to arrive. It's winter, and the moon is in the middle of winter. I've encountered a miserable and rainy day, but I've had to bear the hardships. The eaves of this house should be repaired as soon as possible.”

He took his tools and walked up the ladder to the eaves, helping Su Zhi build the eaves one brick and one tile at a time under the autumn wind.

Aunt Bai stood beside Su Zhi and sighed, ”This child is indeed not bad. He is honest, loyal, and handsome. Not to mention that he was a farmer, and the daughter of a squire was clamoring to marry him. ”The Liu Clan's disciple is a love-struck child. His wife has been dead for two years before he decides to look for her again. If it were any other man, who knows how many more have been stuffed into their home.”

Honestly speaking, Liu Yuan was not bad. Even if he was a farmer, his family still had to hire a labourer. He could also earn a lot of rent in a year. Even if he wasn't considered rich, he was still considered well off.

But the problem was, that kid A Jin …

”Aiya, daddy, hug ~ ~”
