Chapter 60 Eavesdropping

In the silence of the night, these two calls seemed particularly abrupt and harsh.

  Ye Anian was suddenly startled and had completely sobered up from the wine.

  The voice was not close to them, but because of the silence of the night, they could hear it very clearly. It was a somewhat familiar female voice, still calling out.

  He took a deep breath and now realized what the sound was. He and Jiang Zhu looked at each other, both of them feeling a little embarrassed.

  "Go back." He whispered to Jiang Zhu.

  Jiang Zhu nodded. Neither of them was interested in eavesdropping. When they stood up, they suddenly heard another familiar male voice.

  "Fangfang, you are so brave."

  "The marriage has already been decided, but you still dare to come to me in the middle of the night to do this."

  Ye Annian's step forward was immediately stopped. This voice seemed to belong to Ye Ansong?

  And that female voice, if I heard it correctly, should be Ji Fangfang.

  For a moment of confusion, Ji Fangfang's voice came out from the woods.

  "What are you afraid of? Anyway, the person I want to marry is an inhumane blacksmith. He is not good at it, and he still goes to drink wine. Why can't I find someone else?"

  Ye Anyian:...

  What did he hear?

  Yesterday, I heard Ge Erniang say that the girl named Ji has a good taste. She searched the whole town but couldn't find anything that caught her eye. So she decided on the blacksmith?

  Moreover, how did she get together with Ye Ansong?

Seeing that it was already August, Ye Ansong was not about to take the hospital exam, but he still had such thoughts.

  Seeing him stop, Jiang Zhu also stopped.

  A gust of night wind blew over, adding a few words to the conversation between the two.

  Ye Ansong was breathing heavily: "This is what you want. In the future, you will get married and I will take exams. We can't be so close together."

  "I know," Ji Fangfang's voice was hoarse, "Brother Song, I'm just so angry. I promised my mother that I wouldn't care about Jiang Langzhong anymore, but she actually forced me to marry someone from the town."

  "Then what's so good about the men in this town? They're either ugly or naughty. The good-looking ones have hidden diseases, the ones with a little money have scars on their faces, and the ones without money are not as good as the men in our village. I really can't look down on any of them."

  "What about me?" Ye Ansong asked breathlessly.

  "Ah~" Ji Fangfang shouted before saying delicately, "Brother Song is naturally better than them all."

  "Hmph," Ye Ansong snorted with satisfaction, "If you are obedient, when I win the prize of scholar, I will be indispensable for your good son."

  "I will be married by then, what else can you give me?" Ji Fangfang sneered.

  Ye Ansong said: "When I get rich, I will have fine gold, silver, and jewelry. You can choose whatever you want."

  The words of these two people, Ni Wai Wai, really gave people goosebumps all over their bodies.

  Ye Annian touched his arm, took Jiang Zhu and left quietly.

  The two of them didn't relax until they entered the village.

  Seeing Jiang Zhu's evil smile, Ye Anian said quickly: "Don't think of any bad ideas. You know what happened tonight and I know it, so I can't tell anyone."

  "That's natural." Jiang Zhu said with a smile, "I won't bother with a pair of wild mandarin ducks that are stealing food. I just think it's a bit incredible that these two people are getting together."

  "I was afraid that Aunt Tianhua would force her to marry, so Ji Fangfang was impulsive." Ye Annian said.

  Ye Ansong is just a slut who is interested in sex, but he pretends to be a bitch on the surface because he was admitted as a boy student.

  Thinking it was Ji Fangfang's hook, he complied.

  However, he didn't care what happened to these two people.

  I bumped into him tonight, I just heard it as gossip and passed by.

  It was already midnight when the two of them got home. Maybe it was because they stayed outside for a long time and some wind blew, which made Ye Anyian feel hot again.

  The two children in the room had already fallen asleep. Jiang Zhu spread the bedding gently and tucked Ye Anian into the bed before going to the medicine house to boil medicine for him.

  After listening to dirty talk for a while, the sobering tea on the small clay stove was almost dry. There was no need for it now. Jiang Zhu took off the small teapot and replaced it with a medicine jar for brewing medicine for Ye Anian.

  After adding a few herbs that clear away heat and moisturize the lungs to the original Dingchuan Decoction, Jiang Zhu held a cattail leaf fan and watched the heat in the medicine house.

  It took half an hour to boil the medicine.

He filtered the medicine residue, put the Dingchuantang in a bowl and carried it into the house.

  Ye Annian had already fallen asleep wrapped in a quilt, his eyes with slightly curled eyelashes gently closed, and he looked peaceful as he slept.

  But the medicine still had to be drank. Jiang Zhu sat by the kang and gently patted the person awake: "The medicine is ready, drink it before going to bed."

  Ye Anian woke up in a daze and drank up the medicine in one breath with the bowl in Jiang Zhu's hand. He didn't even bother to eat the candied fruit and lay back down again.

  Jiang Zhu had no choice but to put the medicine bowl on the table aside and undress and get under the quilt.

  After drinking the medicine, he would inevitably sweat at night. He was afraid that Ye Anyian would kick the quilt, so Jiang Zhu held him tightly in his arms and stuffed the corners of the quilt tightly.

  …

  The next day, the two of them slept until about three o'clock in the morning before waking up.

  Perhaps it was because of the medicine that Fu Zai, Ding Qiu and Jiang Zhu got up, but Ye Annian didn't notice at all.

  When he woke up, it was already bright. Outside, there were the sounds of Fu Zai and Ding Qiu chattering, and the sounds of Ye Xiaomei and Jiang Zhu cleaning up.

  But when I woke up this time, the memories of last night became clearer.

  He remembered that he had been drunk and swept the yard like crazy last night, and that he had to go to the mountains to catch rabbits and wash clothes in the river. He wished he could just find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

  While he was lost in thought, someone knocked on the door of the house, and Jiang Zhu's voice came from outside: "Are you awake?"

  "woke up."

  Ye Annian rubbed his eyes and got up from the kang. Jiang Zhu had already brought in the hot water.

  "You were sweating all over last night. Take a shower and change clothes."

  Ye Anyian responded and asked him, "When did you get up? I didn't even notice."

  "It's not that much earlier than you," Jiang Zhu said, "Get up and take a bath. The rice is hot in the pot. Sister Xiaomei made it."

  "Morning meal?" Ye Anyian said as he stood up.

  Jiang Zhu stretched out his finger to point to the sun hanging directly above: "It's noon."

  Well, he actually slept until noon.

  When he finished taking a shower and changed clothes and went out, Jiang Zhu had already filled the rice bowl and brought it to him.

  Ye Annian held a bowl and sat at the door of the hall to eat. The fatigue from last night had been wiped away. Although he was a little bit cold, fortunately he drank the medicine in time and slept warmly at night, so he was all healed.

  He looked at Jiang Zhu who was drying medicinal materials in the courtyard, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. A sick man like him who was about to collapse at the slightest breeze really needed a doctor by his side at all times.

  In the courtyard, Copper Coin and the two little rabbits have become familiar with each other and are chasing each other. Fu Zai is sitting on a small stool and watching with great interest.

  "Lucky cub." Ye Annian remembered the name he had given to the little rabbit before, and it seemed that the brown one hadn't been decided yet.

  "Brother?" Fu Zai turned around and looked at him.

  "What's the name of the little brown rabbit? Have you thought of a name?" Ye Anyian asked.

  When Fu Zai heard this, his little face fell: "Not yet."

  "Didn't your brother Ding Qiu help you think about it?"

  "I thought about it, but I always feel bad." Fuzai frowned.

  I don't know if it's because of Jiang Zhu's "earth ball", but now he feels that no name is suitable. None of them is as good as the little white rabbit's name "Xue Tuanzi".

Seeing his appearance, Ye Annian comforted him: "Then think about it slowly, you can always think of something satisfactory."

  Just as he was talking, someone's voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard.

  "Brother Nian," Yang Chi shouted outside, "I'll bring Lingling and Huaishu to visit us!"

  "Sister Lingling!" Fuzai shouted happily when he heard this.

  If his feet weren't still tied, he would have escaped by now.

  "Coming."

  Ye Annian responded and was about to get up to open the door, but Jiang Zhu had already stood up first.

  "You eat, I'll go."

  Ye Anyian looked at the unfinished rice in his bowl and didn't argue with him.

  Jiang Zhu opened the door and welcomed the three people in. Chen Lingling saw two little rabbits running in the courtyard at a glance.

  Surprised: "Daddy! Rabbit!"

  Yang Chi smiled and squeezed her little hand: "Your brother Anfu raised this little rabbit. Ask him if he will let you play with it."

  After he finished speaking, he put Lingling on the ground and asked her to find Fu Zai by herself. Chen Huaishu followed him, politely greeted Jiang Zhu and Ye Anian, and then went to find Ding Qiu himself. .

  "Why are you eating?" Yang Chi asked Ye Anyian.

  Naturally, Ye Anyian couldn't talk about what happened last night, so he coughed lightly and said, "I caught a cold last night, so I got up a little late today."

  "Oh," Yang Chi nodded and mentioned the purpose of his visit today, "I actually have something to ask of you today."

  "Last time you gave my Lingling a wooden frog. Lingling liked it very much. Now it's her birthday and I don't know what to prepare for her. I just want to ask if you can make another little one for her. Just pay what you sell it for."

  This thing is easy to handle. Ye Anyian remembered the rattle he made earlier and said, "How about I make a wave for her?"

  "Sure," Yang Chi responded immediately, "I think your hands are very skillful, and everything you do is delicate and beautiful."

  Ye Annian smiled: "I still have the bamboo that Jiang Zhu cut back last time. I can make it soon."

  "By the way, I was planning to make some mud screams before, so I just made a few to try out today. If they work, let Lingling and Huai Shu play with them."

  "That's okay," Yang Chi suddenly frowned, "These are all things you want to sell. You didn't even take the money for the wooden frog before. This time it's a gift for my child as a father. You can't No money is charged."

  "The mud is so easy to make, and the materials used are only some soil, which is not valuable. I just gave it to you." Ye Annian said, "Fellows from the countryside, don't worry about this with me, right?"

  Having said that, Yang Chi naturally would not shirk anymore and just said: "Then I will accept your kindness."

  After lunch, there was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Ye Anyian started playing rattles and making mud calls in the courtyard.

  It was the first time for Yang Chi, Chen Lingling and Chen Huaishu to see him do it. The three of them moved small stools around him and stared intently.

  Although Fu Zai had seen it before, he still accompanied his little sister and looked at it seriously.

After the rattle was finished, Ye Anyian thought that since it was Lingling's birthday gift, he drew a Q-version of a little girl in ancient style and pink clothes.

  The little girl's eyebrows and appearance are exactly the same as Lingling's. She has a round face, big eyes, and a small cherry mouth. She is very cute.

  Chen Lingling's eyes widened as she looked at it. The little chubby man put his hand in his mouth, forgetting to take it out, and drooled all over.

  Chen Huaishu caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye, and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his troubled little girl.

  But this little baby was pointing at the little figure painted on the rattle with his little finger full of saliva: "Wo! Wo! It's Lingling!"

  "Bangbang! Piao Piao Guo Guo! Awesome!"

  Seeing the little girl's excited face flushed, Ye Anyian reached out and scratched her little nose and said, "I'll make you a little clay bird that can sing later."
