Meal Sweet Home: Farm Lady

Chapter 64 The Secret of Huazhu

After Qi Yuhao left West Lake Village, Nan Yan and Hua Zhu were left to live under the same roof.Qi Yuhao left in a hurry that day, and left after a few simple instructions.

The content of the advice is roughly to ask Nan Yan and Hua Zhu to take good care of themselves, especially Hua Zhu, don't overwork yourself, pay attention to rest more, and don't run around and don't make too much publicity in the village.

Nanyan and Xiangmei push carts to the market every day to sell snacks as usual.According to the survey form returned by the common people some time ago, Nan Yan has made more taste changes and innovations to the snacks.

Once Qi Yuhao left, the housework in this family was reduced a lot.Sometimes at noon, Hua Zhu would bring some things or snacks that Nan Yan and the others needed to visit them.As expected of a considerate woman, Xiangmei never treated her very well.In Xiangmei's words, seeing Hua Zhu's upturned and seductive eyes made her feel uncomfortable.

The reason why Qi Yuhao asked Hua Zhu not to be too ostentatious in the village was because she greeted everyone warmly when she met, and over time, some single men in the village developed a good impression of the beautiful her.Often hovering outside the yard of Qi Yuhao's house, taking the opportunity to look at Huazhu more, this made Qi Yuhao and Nanyan's life no longer as peaceful as it used to be.

Now there are only two little girls, Huazhu and Nanyan, living under the eaves. No one knows whether the people outside are wolves or sheep, so they are told to take care of themselves and be more careful.

On this day, like in the past, the day's stall setting ended early.In the street market, Xiangmei happened to meet her father and three elder brothers who had returned from fishing in the sea and delivered seafood to various restaurants.So follow them.

Hua Zhu happened to come to visit Nan Yan and the others in the afternoon, and the two of them pushed the cart back to West Lake Village together.

Passing through the bustling and noisy West Lake Village, the two of them looked at this interesting place and that interesting one, and soon walked out of the city, continuing to walk back along the muddy field of bright flowers and plants.

"Yan'er, there is something... I want to ask you..." Huazhu lowered her head and blushed slightly when she asked.

"What, tell me." Nan Yan replied.

"Well, I just want to ask you... Who is Mr. Qi? I always feel that he is not from West Lake Village." Huazhu asked shyly.

Nan Yan smiled softly and said: "Don't say it's you. When I first met him, I had the same doubts as you. But until now, I still don't know who he is. Can't figure it out."

Hua Zhu thought, probably not?Based on her observations these days, she felt that Nan Yan and Qi Yuhao were already very familiar, and there was an indescribable tacit understanding in all aspects of life.

"No way? Have you been together day and night?" Hua Zhu asked again.

"It's okay, I just came to West Lake Village three or four months earlier than you to send him under the fence." Nan Yan replied with a disapproving smile.

"Then where did you live? How did you know Mr. Qi?" Huazhu really has the energy to gossip, but it's not like the happy expressions on the faces of those eight wives when they ask questions.

Nanyan answered calmly: "My family originally lived in Shugang Village on Tougangzi, behind West Lake Village. Later, because my stepmother and younger brother wanted to sell me to a rich family to be a young wife, I fled there. This person is Mr. Qi and my father. It was Wangnian, my father entrusted him to come to Shugang Village to save me on the day I ran away, and entrusted me to him, so I came to West Lake Village."

Nan Yan briefly described the reason why she came to West Lake Village.

"Oh, so that's the case. Yan'er is lucky to meet such a good person as Mr. Qi." Huazhu sighed.

"Hehe... aren't you too? You are the same as me now. But I agree with you how well you said the surname Qi." Nan Yan curled her lips and smiled.

"Why do you say that?" Hua Zhu asked again.

Nan Yan's eyes drifted to the top of her head, and she made a thoughtful expression, "Well... how to put it, I don't know why, but I really don't like Mr. Qi. He is young, tall, and He is good at martial arts, but idles around all day long. He likes to spend time and drink, drink and have fun, and when he gets home, he locks himself in the house without leaving the door. Anyway, he is a very strange person."

"To spend time and wine? To drink and have fun?" Huazhu couldn't believe what Nan Yan said, after all, her affection for Qi Yuhao was still heating up so far, "You mean that he usually goes to that kind of place when he goes out? "

"Hmm!" Nan Yan spread her arms out in such a gesture.

"But... he is very rich!" This is what Hua Zhu wanted to ask the most, all along she felt that Qi Yuhao spent a lot of money, as if he always had endless money.

"This... I don't know. I don't know where his money came from, and I don't care. I only know that my task now is to try to earn more money, then return it to him, and finally be free. "Nan Yan looked longingly, completely indifferent to the suspicion on Hua Zhu's face.

"Well, I too... just curious!" Hua Zhu was afraid that Nan Yan would become suspicious if she asked Qi Yuhao so many things.

Nan Yan can't take care of so many other people's affairs, she just wants to rely on her dexterous hands to create more delicacies that the common people like to make a lot of money.In this way, it can be regarded as traveling to this unfamiliar ancient times, and it is not a waste of time.

Gradually, as the days went by, Nanyan was moved by Huazhu's thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness, and gradually regarded Huazhu as her good sister, just like Xiangmei.

Although Hua Zhu is the same age as Nan Yan, she may have experienced much more hardships than Nan Yan over the years, and has traveled farther than Nan Yan, so she seems to be much more mature than Nan Yan.She takes great care of Nanyan and Xiangmei in every aspect, like a caring big sister.

Nan Yan is a person who is easily moved. She belongs to the kind where you respect me a foot and I return her a foot.So Nanyan treats Huazhu very well on weekdays. Whenever she researches some new food, she treats Xiangmei the same way, letting Huazhu try it first.

Every time I bring something good from the street market, I will not forget the Huazhu.

But no matter how kind Huazhu is to Xiangmei, Xiangmei will only smile at her, but won't say a word to her or look at her more, which makes Huazhu very embarrassed most of the time.

Before Qi Yuhao left, he didn't tell Nan Yan and Hua Zhu where he was going, and it was impossible for him to tell them.So these days, Hua Zhu has missed him very much, but she has no way of knowing her whereabouts.

She would stand quietly at the gate of the yard for a moment every day, looking around the village, like a grieving woman whose man went out to serve as a soldier and could not come back for several years.

You want to say that Hua Zhu is infatuated?But many of her behaviors are confusing.I don't know if it's because she thinks she's good-looking, or because she's born with self-confidence. Whenever a man walks past her, she will leave some room for imagination and lead those men to look back at her several times.

That evening, Nanyan and Xiangmei happily returned with their cart.As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw a man from the same village who was not too old, not too tall, and looked young, came out of the house, with a happy smile on his face, looking down at his own hands.

When he looked up and saw Nanyan and Xiangmei, the young man was startled, immediately put away the smile on his face, put his hands behind his back, and walked past them tremblingly.

This man must have lived in the village for a long time, and he also knew that Nan Yan was from this house, so he felt very embarrassed when he left.

"How can there be men coming in and out?" Xiangmei asked first, looking at the young man's back and feeling suspicious, "He looks sneaky, what did he do?"

Just as he was talking, Huazhu's figure came out from the room again, and she was seen wearing a pink Qingluo dancing in the wind, holding a hanging copper coin in her hand, and grinning triumphantly.

"Hua Zhu!" Nan Yan called out to her.

Only then did Huazhu notice that Nanyan and Xiangmei had already stood in the yard, her face suddenly changed color, and she immediately carried the hanging copper coin behind her back, and tidied Qingluo on her body with one hand, as if she was afraid of Nanyan What do they see.

"You, you guys came back so early?" Hua Zhu didn't expect Nan Yan and the others to come back so early today, because they prepared a lot of snacks today.

"Well, snacks are selling well today, so I came back early." Nan Yan replied.

"Oh, yes...that's it. Then wash your hands and rest, it's really tiring after this day." Hua Zhu stepped forward to take the stroller from Nan Yan's hands.

"That young man just now...why did he come out of our room?" Nan Yan asked hesitantly, pointing to the room where she and Hua Zhu lived.

Hearing this question, Huazhu retracted her hands as if being electrocuted, rolled her eyes again and again, thought for a while and said: "Yes, yes... the man in the house broke a leg, I happened to see that guy just now Passing by the gate of the yard, I stopped him and asked him if he would fix it. He said he would, so I took him into the house."

As if she had found a life-saving explanation, Hua Zhu breathed a sigh of relief behind Nan Yan and Xiangmei's back.In fact, the house with a broken leg was repaired by herself.

"My father and brothers are at home, why don't you ask them for help?" Xiangmei said suddenly, as if she was questioning Hua Zhu.

"This... this... I forgot..." Huazhu smiled embarrassingly.

Nan Yan stopped Xiangmei's questioning, and then said: "Forget it, don't ask any more questions, the matter is over. Huazhu, Mr. Qi ordered you not to bring strangers here before leaving. We are all for Mr. Qi Workers, his orders, we have to keep in mind."

"Yes, yes... I know. It's all my fault for being confused and not remembering today. It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" Hua Zhu said with a smirk, her face much prettier than before.

It's just that Nan Yan and Hua Zhu had seen the bag of silver she was carrying behind her back. How could Nan Yan and the others not suspect such a lie?
