It was inevitable to meet villagers on the road, but there was no need to go forward to chat, and they saw Zhang Fangyuan's carriage parked on the side of the road from a long distance to talk to Xu He.


    The villagers looked at the meat eagerly. After the New Year, who could eat meat like this in ordinary days? Even if they were busy with spring plowing and wanted to eat meat, they could only use a small square of bacon to stew with cabbage. Where could they eat like this?

    Those who saw the Xu family and Zhang Fangyuan were engaged and said they would be unlucky were a little bit jealous. After all, the benefits of taking meat were visible to the naked eye.

    "Where did the pork come from? It's fresh!"

    Liu Xianglan just got home after picking tea, and was about to scoop some water from the water tank in the yard to wash her hands, when she saw Xu He coming back with the heart, lungs and kidney. Without washing her hands, she hurriedly asked him.

    "He said he would come over for dinner." Xu He said.

    Liu Xianglan was full of smiles, although she didn't really want to see the evil star, she might eat meat, so that was another story.

    "Just came back after slaughtering pig?."

    Xu He put down his back basket: "Yeah."

    "Then you go to cook!"

    Xu He said unhurriedly: "I will chop the pig grass first and then cook. The animals are making noise."

    Liu Xianglan had a busy day, and only ate a little pancake at noon, and she was a little hungry at this moment, and she was anxious when she saw the meat, "You cook first."

    She turned her head and shouted into the room: "Shaochun, come out and chop the grass!"

    Xu Shaochun in the room opened her beautiful eyes in disbelief when she heard the sound. She was so comfortable, so she was not willing to chop the grass for the pig, and she was even more puzzled that her mother asked her to do such a rough job.

    "I still have to make medicine for my father, why don't I chop it later?"

    Liu Xianglan washed her hands: "It's annoying for the pig to make noise later, so I'll just boil your father's medicine."

    Seeing that her mother blocked her, Xu Shaochun was reluctant to move, Xu He hurriedly carried the pig meat into the kitchen, he didn't want to give her second sister a chance to push the job on his head.

    "Mother~" Xu Shaochun dragged out her tone, and stepped forward to hold Liu Xianglan's arm.

    Liu Xianglan knew that her daughter was acting like a spoiled child, but she didn't act like she used to be. She just persuaded her: "The exam is about to pass, and you won't be at home for long. so you should learn to do some work, and it will be better to go to Fei's house when the time comes. "

“Mrs. Fei is a capable person, so there is no need for me to do these things. I will just accompany Fei Lang to study.”

    Liu Xianglan said: "It's not sure that he will win this time, first help the family with some work, Butcher Zhang will be here later. I'm going to make medicine for your father."

    Xu Shaochun saw that her mother was more and more partial to Xu He, and stomped her feet angrily, but it was only because Zhang Fangyuan gave some gift money and he sent some meat on weekdays, but her mother acted as if she had never seen the world.


    Angrily, she moved out of the small stool, took out the pig grass, and chopped it randomly with a knife.

    Zhang Fangyuan came here early, and went straight to Xu's house after leaving his fourth uncle's house. His aunt asked him to eat fried pork liver with them, but seeing that he didn't want it, she laughed at him and said that now he only knew how to go to the mother-in-law’s house.

    At the Xu family's side, Xu He had already cooked the pig's heart and lungs, and was cutting the pork kidney. The pork kidney had to be sliced ​​open in the middle to take out the white fat in the middle of it. If he didn’t remove the white fat, there would be a foul smell. He buried his head in it carefully, and didn't even notice that Zhang Fangyuan came in.

    After cutting the kidney, he saw that Zhang Fangyuan squatted in front of  the stove.

    Xu He looked at the man who was sitting honestly in front of the stove and throwing firewood into the stove. Under the firelight, his sharp-edged and resolute face was coated with a soft radiance, which was much more approachable than usual. In fact, Zhang Fangyuan's appearance was very upright, it was kind of aggressive handsome, the people who liked him would like it very much, but most people were afraid to look at him carefully.

    There was a pause in his chopping action, and suddenly he couldn't tell the time for a moment, as if the two were already an old couple.

    Zhang Fangyuan raised his head inadvertently, their eyes met, Xu He looked away, his voice was not too loud, but enough for the two of them to hear: "Are you hungry?"

"A little bit."

"It will be ready soon. I'll put the radish into the pork lung soup and start cooking."

Zhang Fangyuan said yes.

    Xu Shaochun heard the warm conversation between the two in the kitchen outside, and the movements of chopping the grass became more chaotic.

    "I didn't expect your second sister to look so delicate, but her hands are quite strong, and she chops pig grass so loudly."

    Xu Shaochun blushed when she heard the words.

    After Liu Xianglan gave Xu Changren the medicinal soup in the back room, she saw two people cooking in silence in the kitchen, and she and Zhang Fangyuan were polite. Although everyone under the same roof had their own ghosts, they couldn't bear the delicious pork kidney fried by Xu He, and the few people who was served were full and well-fed, and for a while they forgot their grudges.

    Xu He was also willing to see Zhang Fangyuan came over to eat, and gave him a few bowls of polished rice at home. After Zhang Fangyuan finished eating a bowl of rice, he silently refilled it for him. The dishes were already served, so Liu Xianglan's eyes widened a little, but she didn't dare to say anything at the dinner table.

    After the meal, all the rice in the steamer was eaten, and the pork lung soup in the pot was also gone. She expected that there would be some leftover to take to the tea garden tomorrow, but she underestimated Zhang Fangyuan's appetite.

    After the meal, Xu's family was full, and Zhang Fangyuan also had a full meal, and went home happily.

    "It's really your fault to turn towards him before you’re married!"

    After Zhang Fangyuan left, Liu Xianglan scolded Xu He angrily.

    Xu He tidied up the dishes indifferently, and when the meat was delivered, he didn't see her stretching out her chopsticks less.
