Sloth's Home Fragrance of Rice Fields

chapter 41
The two walked to the door and found it locked.

"Maybe it went to the field?" Li Yao guessed.

"Then let's wait, the weather is not early, and parents should be back soon." Chen Wenbin said.

"That's the only way." Li Yao was a little discouraged, and finally went back to her mother's house, but no one was there.

"Do you want to sit and wait in the bullock cart?" Chen Wenbin didn't mention looking for it in the field, because he guessed that his daughter-in-law would not know where the family's land was.

"No need, I rode a bullock cart all the way, shaking until my bones almost fell apart." Li Yao said, shaking her arms.

Chen Wenbin twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at Li Yao fixedly, unaware that his eyes followed her involuntarily.

Li Yao was so stared at by him that she got goosebumps all over her body, she turned her back to him, feeling flustered for some reason.Seeing this, Chen Wenbin just smiled.

"Yao'er, Wen Bin, why are you here at this time." Before dark, the two elders came from the alley looking for a hoe.

"Father and mother, why did you come back so late? We have been here for a while." Li Yao stepped forward and said coquettishly.

"Father, mother!" Chen Wenbin stepped forward and called, and took the old couple's hoe.

Father Li nodded in satisfaction towards Chen Wenbin's back.Father Li himself was also a person who went to the battlefield, but he was lucky. He didn't die on the battlefield when he reached the age of retirement, and he was still able to be the head of the village in this village.He knew that going to the battlefield was a narrow escape, so he felt extra pity for this son-in-law.There is a regulation in the heavenly court that all those who pass the examination as a scholar or above are exempted from military service, so he doesn't have to worry about his son being conscripted, and the family can live happily together.I just don't know when the next battle will be, and whether my son-in-law can escape.This daughter is their darling, and he hopes that her daughter can live a good life.

"It's so late, you go back after eating, anyway, the ox cart will be home soon." Aunt Li guessed that the ox cart at the door must have been driven by her daughter and son-in-law.

"Mother, let me help you." Li Yao followed Aunt Li into the kitchen.

"Yao'er, what is this?" Aunt Li saw that her daughter was holding a cloth bag.

"Mom, you'll know later."

"It's still mysterious." Aunt Li glanced at her daughter, and then went to wash rice and cook.

Li Yao opened the cloth bag and asked Aunt Li to bring a plate, put the cut braised meat on the plate, and then steamed it in the pan.Seeing eggs and flour on the shelf next to the stove, I beat some eggs and spread some cakes with the flour.Aunt Li felt mixed feelings when she saw that her daughter had prepared the two dishes swiftly.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Li Yao saw that Aunt Li's expression was not right.

"Yao'er, tell me the truth, how are you doing in the Chen family?"

"Mother, I'm doing well. Their family is very kind to me." Li Yao smiled knowingly, and stepped forward to hold Aunt Li.

"Don't lie to me. Look how thin your face is. You didn't know how to do anything before. How long has it been now? Seeing how you cook, you must do it all the time in the Chen family." Li The aunt looked distressed.

"Mother~~ In the Chen family, Myolie and my mother-in-law usually cook. They are a nice family and treat me very well." Li Yao is really tired these days because of the stewed meat shop and worrying about Chen Wenbin. It's possible to be a little thinner, but I didn't expect Aunt Li to think of going elsewhere.
