Xu Yanzhu thought of the figure at the bottom of her heart. Just as she was about to recall the past relationship between the two, he suddenly remembered the attitude that the Third Uncle had towards him these past two days.

After such a comparison, Xu Yanzhu laughed at herself and muttered: ”Looks like I'm not your true love. Otherwise, why would you marry her again?”

With this thought, Xu Yanzhu completely let go of the figure at the bottom of her heart and concentrated on observing the scenery within the Shihuan Courtyard.

There was no need to carefully search for it, Xu Yanzhu could see the unmatched scenery in the courtyard and its surroundings with a glance.

Looking at the green bamboo fence that was still around, Xu Yanzhu knew that the Third Uncle must have made this especially for the Third Aunt.

After recognizing that the tree which had yet to grow leaves was a pomegranate tree, Xu Yanzhu understood more clearly the Third Uncle's feelings towards him.

Thinking about how her father had told him that she had been beaten up by the Third Uncle because she touched something in the Third Uncle, Xu Yanzhu immediately revealed a smile.

”I really wonder if Big Uncle and Father will feel disbelief when they come back and see the current Third Uncle.” Xu Yanzhu muttered to herself, thinking about this, she slowly continued walking in the Shihuan Courtyard.

In the small kitchen, after Dong Shu saw the ingredients sent over from the big kitchen, with just a simple glance, she decided on what she wanted to do today at noon.

This was not the first time she cooked in the Shihuan Courtyard, but seeing her husband helping out, she did not feel that it was anything special.

Dong Shu's movements were quick. Previously, when they were at the Dong Clan, she cooked all of the family's food. Now that she only cooked three people's food, it was only natural that she did not spend much time on it.

After Xu Yanzhu finished strolling around the Shihuan Courtyard twice, Dong Shu finished cooking the food she had prepared at noon today.

Dong Shu didn't have much vegetables in the early spring yet, so she fried a plate of meat pickles and made a soup using the shredded shredded radish with the dried poached prawns.

The main ingredient was Dong Shu's favorite dish, the mushroom stew chicken.

Although there weren't many dishes, the quantity was quite a bit.

Xu Yanzhu could also cook, but she usually cooked various kinds of exquisite snacks, where would she have the time to cook these seemingly normal but especially tasty farm dishes.

Seeing that Xu Yanzhu liked it, Dong Shu's mouth revealed a smile.

Since Dong Shu had always been talking to her husband and her husband when they were eating together, she had forgotten about what happened yesterday morning at the Old Granny's courtyard.

”Yanzhu, I'm fine later on in the afternoon, why don't I bring you to the village?” Dong Shu thought that this would be the beginning of spring, and there would definitely be many fresh and tender shepherd's purse vegetables beside the farmlands. If she had picked more and washed them and boiled them, they would definitely taste good.

Dong Shu's thoughts had always been on her face. Although she did not say what she wanted to do, Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu, uncle and nephew, could guess what she was thinking.

Xu Shiqiu could not bear Young Girl being depressed all day, seeing that Xu Yanzhu had only lowered her head to eat, and had not responded to Young Girl yet, she immediately kicked her under the table.

Sensing Third Uncle's warning, Xu Yanzhu immediately raised her head.

Seeing Third Uncle's sharp eyes filled with anticipation, Xu Yanzhu immediately understood what was going on.

When she had dinner with her grandmother, she had always said 'I can't eat, but I can't sleep.' She wasn't used to this.

Holding back her laughter, Xu Yanzhu nodded at Dong Shu, then looked at her and said: ”Alright, I'll listen to Third Aunt.” After saying this, Xu Yanzhu thought for a moment, then continued: ”Speaking of Xiahe Village, although we have been here for nine years, I have yet to take a stroll.”

Xu Yanzhu was not lying, although she was still young when she first arrived at Xiahe Village, but that time her grandfather had just passed away, she had to stay at home and be filial.

After being filial, her eldest uncle's family and parents left the Xiahe Village one after another, so she stayed by her grandmother's side all day long to accompany her.

Later on, she grew older, and it wasn't good for her to go out for a stroll.

Dong Shu had originally only thought of eating capers, but after Xu Yanzhu finished speaking, she stared at her with wide open eyes and said with shock: ”You haven't actually played in the village before?”

Dong Shu had a face full of disbelief. Even if she had to do many things in her uncle's house, she still had the chance to go out and play.

There were many small ponds in the village. When they were young, they loved to catch small fish in the pond in the summer and go home to make soup.

And when the reeds grew, and the ducks lay eggs in the reeds, they would stealthily bake one from each nest and eat it with mud.

These were the most fun things that Dong Shu had in her childhood memories. When she was young, she played behind Cousin.

Xu Yanzhu didn't think that the Third Aunt would actually reveal such a look of disbelief after she said that she hadn't played in the village before.

She glanced at Third Uncle, and seeing that he had no intention to stop her, she continued: ”No, I never went out before.” After saying this, Xu Yanzhu was afraid that the Third Aunt would investigate further, so she quickly continued: ”So why are you bringing me here this afternoon, Third Aunt?”

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's question, Dong Shu's attention was immediately drawn to her, she thought for a moment and said seriously: This time, the shepherds' herds on the ridge of the farmlands are the most tender, we do not need to go far, and just walk around the house, we will definitely be able to find a lot.

Dong Shu said this because she thought that every year, the children of the village would choose to use this kind of method to feed their children. They did not rely on this method to live, but rather, to eat something new, so they naturally did not have to fight for it with the children from far away.

The most important thing was that when Dong Shu thought back to how she and the other girls would avoid the Xu Family and choose the shepherd's wort, so they would definitely be able to find a lot of it in the vicinity of the house.

Xu Yanzhu didn't know what Dong Shu was thinking, but she didn't understand much about this matter, so she naturally didn't say much.

When Xu Yanzhu nodded in agreement to Dong Shu's suggestion, in the next moment, Dong Shu directly looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, ”Hubby, can you accompany us as well?” Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu with a pleading look in his eyes. Seeing that he was startled by his words, he immediately continued: ”Yanzhu and I are going to pick our shepherd's wormwood, just watch us from afar, it's just right for us to take a walk.”
