Chapter 101 Fanwai (3)
"Kaixia, are you staying at home today?" Ye Shi, who was packing up the books, glanced at his daughter at the stone table.
Ye Kaixia supported her chin with one hand and nodded listlessly.
Where can I go if I don’t stay at home? Since Tongshan got married, I rarely come to her to play with her after giving birth. She is not familiar with other peers in the village. Apart from going to the town to sell wood carvings, she can only stay at home on weekdays.
Ye Shi knew her thoughts and had no choice but to shake her head: "The weather is good today. Wouldn't it be better to go out for a walk than to be stuck at home?"
"What's the point of leaving by yourself..." Ye Kaixia muttered.
Ye Shi glanced at her and said with some meaning: "Indeed, you are not young anymore, but you are only two years younger than Tongshan. She has children. You should also consider your future plans."
Although Ye Shi would not put any pressure or coercion on this aspect, she is indeed not young and is so idle by nature. Changqiu has nothing to worry about. She just hopes that this daughter will change after getting married in the future.
Knowing the intriguing truth about Ye’s truth, Ye Kaixia was a little unhappy to listen, and suddenly stood up and walked out. She also wanted to get married, but she just wanted to marry someone but not.
Since Ye Changqiu got married, Liu Lan'er has never been to the Ye family again. Ye Kaixia hasn't seen him for a long time, and even if she thinks tightly, she can't do anything.
The weather today is really good, with bright sunshine and a breeze in the air mixed with the fragrance of rice, blowing away the heat in my heart, and it will not make people feel stuffy and unbearable.
Ye Kaixia kicked the stones all the way, and didn't know where she was going, so she just wanted to find a quiet place to sit for a while. She walked along the road by the river and walked straight to the slope on the left side of the Kuan River. She picked a piece of tail grass and slapped her mouth and lay on the slope.
At this time, the man who was washing clothes by the river had already left, and the quiet was the chirping and pleasant birds left.
Ye Kaixia closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep. Her mind was now full of the young man's cute face. Her apricot eyes blinked and looked at her, almost occupying her entire mind and could not be shaken off.
The woman frowned deeply, suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, scratched her head irritably, and supported her forehead with both hands and fell into deep thought.
If not...
Go to the village chief’s house to see if Lan'er has come?
But what can I do if I come here? When Ye Changqiu is here, she can still find the topic with him. Now when she goes to him, what should she say?
Ye Kaixia, who was struggling in her heart, finally decided to go and take a look, and take some things over. If she was asked, she would say that her mother asked her to send things to the village chief!
Ye Kaixia almost clapped for finding such a good excuse. When she happily went to the village chief's house with the gift, she saw Liu Lan'er standing under the loquat tree in a daze from afar.
He changed his previous lively and playful personality, and there was an unconcealed depression and helplessness between his eyebrows, and the colors all faded away because of his depression.
In an instant, the longing for many days turned into heartbeats, and Ye Kaixia's left chest was pounding. The words he thought about were blank, and only the boy in light-colored clothes remained in his eyes.
She couldn't help but patted the dust that did not exist on her body and slowly leaned over.
"Lan'er?"
With a light call, Liu Lan'er pulled the dazed person back to her senses. In a trance, she looked at the woman, as if she was a little surprised: "Sister Kaixia, why are you here?"
Ye Kaixia scratched her head, her eyes were floating and unnatural, and she could not speak for a long time. She forgot all the words she said when she came.
"Are you here to find your aunt?" Liu Lan'er helped her find the excuse, and Ye Kaixia nodded quickly.
Liu Lan'er looked like this, and pointed to the room: "Auntie is inside."
"Ohhh" Ye Kaixia walked two steps in the direction he pointed, her eyes drifted, and then turned to look at him: "Lan'er, when did you come here? Why didn't you go to find Changqiu?"
The boy lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and muttered, "Where can he go to find him after he is married..."
Besides, every time I went to look for him, I couldn't get a good look, especially last time, the cannibalistic eyes scared Liu Lan'er so much that she didn't dare to go there again.
When Liu Lan'er thought of getting married, she became more and more sad. She flattened her mouth and turned her back to her body and quietly wiped the corners of her eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Kaixia asked worriedly around him.
"fine……"
It didn't look like nothing happened. Ye Kaixia was a little anxious: "Is anyone bullying you?"
The boy continued to shake his head.
"Then, why are you crying?"
Liu Lan'er rubbed her sour eyes and stubbornly retorted: "I didn't cry!"
The eyes were rubbed red, and Ye Kaixia certainly didn't believe it. She was so anxious that she handed him the pastry she brought to him: "Do you want to eat this? My mother brought it back soon."
As he was rubbing his eyes, Liu Lan'er glanced at the woman's handed over and couldn't help swallowing. He hadn't eaten the Ye family's pastry for a long time, and he was a little greedy when he thought about it.
Sorry to take it directly, he bit his lip, turned his eyes away, and said in a slight silence: "You used it for your aunt, what are you doing for me?"
Ye Kaixia shook her head violently and replied without thinking: "No, I just gave it to you!"
Liu Lan'er looked at her in confusion and blinked her red apricot eyes: "How can Sister Kaixia know that I'm here?"
"Well…"
Ye Kaixia was very upset. He had just replied too quickly and had no idea what he thought on the way he came.
"Did Uncle Guan tell you?" the young man continued to ask naively.
He gave himself a reason, so Ye Kaixia naturally couldn't wait to nod according to his wishes.
"That's it..." After a moment of twisting, Liu Lan'er took the small gift box she handed over and whispered to thank her: "Thank you Sister Kaixia..."
"No, no need..." Ye Kaixia felt that her heart was about to melt and stared at the boy's face.
Liu Lan'er felt a little uncomfortable when she saw it. She sat on the stone under the tree, opened the box, carefully took out a piece of pastry from it and bit it into her mouth. Perhaps because she had something to do in her heart, he felt that the pastry was not as sweet as before.
Ye Kaixia scratched her neck, squatted slowly beside him, looked at his expression, and asked softly: "What's wrong with Lan'er? You...If you have any troubles, you can tell me, maybe, maybe I can help you solve it?"
Liu Lan'er shook her head and lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Ye Kaixia didn't ask any more questions, hugged her knees and looked into the distance, quietly accompanying him, occasionally unable to help but peek at him.
"Sister Kaixia..." The silent boy suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
"Mom, she arranged a marriage for me."
The breeze swept over the dead leaves, and the blood flowing from Ye Kaixia's body suddenly frozen. She stared at the person beside her, her mind was blank.
Liu Lan'er didn't pay attention to the woman's expression and complained to herself: "But I don't want to marry this person I haven't even met."
"Then..." Ye Kaixia's throat was dry and hoarse, and she said with difficulty: "Since she doesn't like it, then just push it off."
The boy still shook his head: "Mother said I am not young anymore and I can still choose it now. In two years, I will be an old man that no one wants, and I have no choice."
No matter how you become, I don't dislike it. Ye Kaixia almost couldn't control herself and wanted to express her feelings to him, but she knew that Lan'er had no intention of her. If she scared her like this, she might not have the chance to meet in the future.
"Then... would you marry the person your mother found for you?" Ye Kaixia asked tentatively.
Liu Lan'er pursed her lips and shook her head gently: "I have never seen her before, and I don't like her even more. Moreover, the village is so far away from home, I don't want to go so far..."
In fact, it is mainly because he doesn't like that person at all. Although he heard that the person looks good, he already has someone in his heart. What can he do if he looks good? He is not bad at all. He hasn't been able to marry the person he likes.
Liu Lan'er suddenly turned a corner in her mind, and she couldn't control her thoughts of the heroic face. She quickly shook her head, intending to throw away what she shouldn't have in her mind.
"Then you marry me?"
A voice exploded in his ears. Liu Lan'er stared at the woman blankly, blinking her eyes, and suspected that she had heard it wrong: "Sister Kaixia, what did you say?"
The words that rushed out made Ye Kaixia blush and waved her hand to try to explain: "I, I mean, since we can get married, you can marry here, so that you won't be afraid of being far away!"
The boy looked at her blankly, suddenly opened his eyes wide, feeling a little unbelievable about her method: "Of course not, Sister Kaixia, how can we get married!"
Although she was mentally prepared, Ye Kaixia's heart was bitter when she refused in person. She took a deep breath and looked at him and said, "Then are you willing to marry the person you have never met before?"
Liu Lan'er choked up and stopped talking.
Ye Kaixia looked at him and said with a little temptation: "Think about it, we are married, you can come to the village chief's house every day, and you can also go to find Ye Changqiu." She paused, pursed her lips, and continued: "You can also go to see Tongshan... and her children, and I can promise you that you can still be as free as you are now."
This condition is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Liu Lan'er, but... she still feels strange no matter how she thinks. He quietly looked at the woman and asked a key question: "Sister Kaixia, do you... like me?"
If she liked it, Ye Kaixia almost responded. She gritted her teeth and shook her head firmly: "I just think you are Changqiu's good friend, and we have known each other since we were young, and we just want to help you."
"Oh" the boy responded, lowered his eyes, unable to see clearly. He rubbed his fingers against the edge of the gift box, as if he was thinking about whether he should agree.
"If you get married to that person in the future, you may never see your parents again, let alone come to see your aunt and Changqiu." After that, Ye Kaixia looked at the quiet and added another person: "There is also Tongshan, I won't have the chance to see you in the future."
The fingers that were originally crushing the gift box were paused, and the boy sniffed and looked up pitifully at her: "Will Sister Kaixia force me to do things I don't like to do?"
"No." Ye Kaixia answered without hesitation, fearing that he would not believe it, so she raised three fingers to her ear: "I can swear."
Even though the process was a bit ridiculous, she succeeded, and the naive person nodded and agreed under her temptation.
Even Ye Kaixia himself did not expect that he would agree to marry her so soon.
Although he doesn't like her now, Ye Kaixia believes that after getting married, as long as she gives her sincerity and treats him well, she will definitely bring his heart back.
Even if it takes longer, she can wait.
The author has something to say: This is the last extra. Actually, I want to write longer, but if I think longer, I have to write a lot, so I'd better forget it (cover my face)
Maybe the two of them will have extras, but I won’t write this anymore. When I have inspiration and time, I will update it in the column to update the extras specifically.
Chapter completed!
