When the carriage arrived at the entrance of Lijia'ao Village, both Li Yuan and Xie Yanzhi expressed their willingness to pay more.
Naihe was also worried about the driver at home and was unwilling to go in.
In desperation, the two of them could only walk back step by step with the cloth and other items they bought from Fucheng that needed to be shown to the public.
The biting wind shook the branches.
Sometimes it goes crazy, blowing up a lot of snow on the ground and rolling it into the air.
And because the wind has no direction, sometimes it blows far away, and sometimes it hits obstacles such as branches and houses.
Li Yuan and Xie Yanzhi wore dog-skin hats and scarves covering their faces, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
After the carriage drove away, Li Yuan stopped and put the cloth and other items into the space.
Xie Yanzhi held her hand tightly, endured the discomfort in his eyes, and walked toward Li's house with great effort, using the reflection of the snow.
Wang Can was so anxious that he had to look outside from time to time.
She had a hunch that Sister Yuan would definitely arrive home today.
Li Jun was equally anxious and had to go out to take a look every half an hour.
He had just come back at this time, but he had not yet calmed down. Seeing that Wang Can was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he said: "Cancan, don't be anxious, I will go out and take a look."
Wang Can saw his cheeks that were red from the cold, quickly took his hand and shook his head.
"Brother Junzi, I'll go. You drink some hot water first and rest in the room!"
It was freezing outside, and for some reason, it was far colder than it had been in her previous life.
If her sister Yuan doesn't come back today, I'm afraid she won't be able to come back in a short time.
If I come back, because I have a small house with me, I will definitely put all my things away when there are no outsiders.
If she meets someone and they see her coming back empty-handed, and then she wants to take out something again, it will be difficult to explain.
Only if she goes, she can help.
The two sisters, Caiwei and Qingsha, who had changed their surnames to Li, huddled on the kang with red eyes. After hearing their aunt's words, they also looked at her expectantly.
Wang Can didn't wait for Li Jun's objection, quickly dressed up, and turned to comfort the sisters.
"Caiwei, Shasha, aunt thinks your mother is coming back. Can you help aunt heat up the food?"
Caiwei was older and more sensible. While nodding, she also asked with a hint of confusion: "Auntie, will my mother really come back?"
My aunt also said yesterday that her mother would come back.
But she waited and waited, waited until night, slept again, and then continued waiting after dawn.
As a result, it turned into darkness again, and her mother still didn't come back.
"Yes, I will definitely come back this time. My aunt will go out to pick up your mother right away. It will not take more than two seconds at most. If you don't believe me, ask your uncle?"
The two sisters looked at Li Jun in unison.
It was too cold outside, and Li Jun was reluctant to let Wang Can go out to get cold.
He wanted to go out by himself, but Wang Can's unusually insistent eyes always made him feel that if he went, she would definitely fall out with him.
He had no choice but to endure it.
Therefore, facing the affirmative looks of the two sisters, he didn't know how to guarantee it.
He was afraid that if his sister didn't come back after he said he would come back, then the two little girls would be disappointed and cry again.
Just like when he came back just now, the two little girls couldn't help wiping away tears when they didn't see their mother following him.
Wang Can saw that he didn't answer, and the eyes of the two little girls began to fill with tears again. They stamped their feet and shouted in annoyance: "Brother Junzi, please speak up!"
At this moment, Li Jun deeply felt that his status in Wang Can's heart was far inferior to that of his two nieces.
So, she wants to marry herself just because he is Caiwei and Qingsha's uncle?
If he wasn't, wouldn't he still be a bachelor?
So, he still has two nieces to thank?
Wang Can didn't know what Li Jun was thinking, but when he saw him nodding and telling the two little girls that their mother would definitely come back, and then laughing through tears, they breathed a sigh of relief and walked out lightly.
Wang Maocai was also picked up by Li Jun and Wang Can. At this time, he had not rested yet and was helping to chop wood in the kitchen.
Seeing Li Jun and the two children come in, he stood up a little cautiously and asked, "Junzi, your sister hasn't come back yet?"
Li Jun shook his head: "No, but it's coming soon. Uncle, why don't you go and take a rest first? There is enough firewood at home now. If not, I will chop it when the time comes."
He and Wang Can picked up Wang Maocai when it started to snow yesterday evening.
But after he got here, he didn't know what was going on. He seemed particularly uncomfortable, and there was a hint of flattery in his words and actions.
He thought it might be because he and Wang Can were not officially engaged yet.
If the woman's relatives move in, they will feel unsure.
It's just that the day he chose to get engaged was on the eighteenth day.
Wang Can discussed with him that when the elders of both parties are there, they can just go through the process and there is no need to entertain others.
Just wait until you get married and then show it off.
The reason why Wang Maocai was brought here was because this uncle was the adopted son of his maternal grandfather and he treated her well.
All the money he earned was given to her, and she is still working for them now.
But now that it’s freezing cold outside and a heavy snowstorm is coming, I won’t plant vegetables yet.
If you want to eat at home, you can put some soil in a wooden bucket and put it next to the fire pit to grow some short-term vegetables.
Li Jun didn't quite understand this, and he didn't even know they were growing vegetables for sale.
When he found out, Wang Can took the initiative to tell him.
But she said that Xie Yanzhi had long had plans for his sister and knew that his sister was short of money.
So I read a lot of books, pondered over it, and came up with a secret recipe that can shorten planting time.
And he was very scheming. He didn't want the money, so he gave the prescription to his sister, in order to win his sister's favor and so on.
After hearing this, Li Jun once again felt that his brother Xie was too evil-minded.
No wonder he has only been away as an escort for more than a month, and when he comes back, his sister is almost ready to get married!
Xie Yanzhi, who still didn't know that he had been cheated by Wang Can, kept holding Li Yuan's hand tightly and walked forward with difficulty.
After a while, he pointed to a vague figure in front of him and asked, "Ms. Yuan, do you think that's Miss Wang over there?"
Li Yuan's eyes were extremely uncomfortable due to the wind and snow.
Hearing this, he squinted his eyes and suddenly opened his eyes wide.
I saw her waving her unheld hand vigorously, loosening the scarf around her mouth, exposing the gap and shouting: "Can Niang!"
Wang Can obviously saw the person and was very excited.
Neither of them felt cold or tired at this time, so they used all their strength to walk towards each other.
Xie Yanzhi watched helplessly as Li Yuan, who had been unable to walk just now, walked away quickly as if she had taken some magic elixir.
After the two of them got together, Wang Can looked her up and down and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she really didn't have anything in her hand.
"Sister Yuan, let's go home. A lot of things have happened in the past few days. I will tell you slowly later."
