C23 (1/2)

Ever since that day when Xu Shiqiu started to think about consummating with Dong Shu, he had been waiting for the day that he could recuperate.

Doctor Du was invited by him once, but he left Dong Shu to recuperate for at least another month.

Although he still had to wait for another month, Xu Shiqiu had finally obtained some time. According to the Doctor Du's intentions, as long as his Young Girl didn't feel as painful as before, he would be able to settle his affairs in half a month's time.

Due to the exact time Doctor Du gave him, Xu Shiqiu had been especially nervous these days because he was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable when he came to visit him.

Dong Shu did not know that her husband was staring at her all the time because of this. She only thought that his husband liked her more and more, that was why he was staring at her all the time.

She was still thinking the next time Xu Yanzhu came to Shihuan Courtyard, the two of them would go and pick out the shepherd's bursaries together before wrapping up some flat food. But who knew that on this night, a spring rain would interrupt her plans.

It was a rainy spring. The spring rain lasted from the end of February until the beginning of March.

perhaps it was at just the right time for it to be clear, as the continuous rain brought about a trace of sadness to the Xu Family.

When Dong Shu paid her respects to her father-in-law who had passed away many years ago in the Ancestral Hall, the Xiahe Village finally welcomed a sunny day that she hadn't seen in a long time.

Dong Shu had already wanted to go and pick out shepherds' candies to bring back for a flat meal long ago. Although a flat meal with shepherds' candies was delivered to the big kitchen, Dong Shu felt that it was less tasty than the ones wrapped by her own hands.

The weather was good today, and it also coincided with the day Xu Yanzhu arrived at the Shihuan Courtyard. Early in the morning, after Dong Shu got up and quickly changed her clothes and combed her hair, she waited for Xu Yanzhu to come over, and the two of them went to pick out some shepherds.

Seeing Young Girl being so enthusiastic, Xu Shiqiu naturally instructed the kitchen to prepare some meat and flour for him at noon. After that, he quickly tidied himself up and prepared to follow Young Girl out.

Seeing that Xu Shiqiu was like that, Dong Shu immediately went up to him, looked at him and said: ”Hubby, do you want to come out with us?” After saying this, Dong Shu didn't wait for Xu Shiqiu to speak before continuing, ”I'm so happy that my master is willing to accompany us out the door.”

Upon hearing Young Girl's words, Xu Shiqiu helplessly shook his head at her: ”I'm really worried about your character, and Yanzhu doesn't go out often. I'm naturally worried about the two of you women.”

After speaking to Young Girl, Xu Shiqiu then thought about the matter of him preparing to earn silver, and felt that he should probably find a servant to protect Young Girl when he was busy in the future.

Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking at the moment. After hearing his words just now, she felt that her husband had decided to follow them out because he liked her and didn't trust her.

After all, it was a matter for the girls to choose the shepherd's purse. In her entire life, she had never seen a man do such a thing.

Seeing the expression on Young Girl's face, Xu Shiqiu could guess what she was thinking about.

He did not explain anything, but allowed the Young Girl to continue thinking this way.

Xu Yanzhu obtained the Shihuan Courtyard in such an atmosphere.

Because she would come to the Shihuan Courtyard every other day, she was very familiar with this place. On the way here, she even brought the breakfast of Third Uncle and Third Aunt over.

Dong Shu had been waiting for Xu Yanzhu to appear. When he saw her, she immediately walked towards her happily.

”Yanzhu, the weather is good today. In a while, let's go pick out some shepherd's milk and pack some flat food in the Shihuan Courtyard, okay?” Dong Shu looked at Xu Yanzhu who had finished speaking, and walked over to her side, wanting to take the food from her hands.

Xu Yanzhu would never give the food box to Dong Shu. Not to mention that her Third Uncle was watching, just because she had trained under her grandfather for a few years since she was young, her strength was also much greater than the extremely delicate Third Aunt.

”Third Aunt, let me do it.” Xu Yanzhu first said this to Dong Shu, then looked at her and continued: ”This morning, there were also steamed dumplings. When grandmother saw that Third Aunt liked it that day, she specially asked me to bring some over.”

Seeing that Third Aunt had finished speaking, Xu Yanzhu immediately brought the food box into the house, and placed it on the round table, then continued: ”I will not make snacks, and today I can also learn culinary arts from Third Aunt, of course I am willing.”

Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu followed Xu Yanzhu's footsteps and entered the room. When Xu Yanzhu said this, she immediately looked at her happily: ”What kind of craftsmanship is this, the things I learned from you these few days are the most useful.”

Dong Shu looked at Xu Yanzhu who had just finished speaking, she was just about to continue speaking, but Xu Shiqiu suddenly interrupted them: ”Both of you, stop trying to praise each other's modesty, it's getting late, after eating, aren't you going to go and pick the shepherds?”

Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Dong Shu and Xu Yanzhu immediately looked at each other and laughed.

Obviously, the two of them also felt that the praise between the two of them earlier was a bit too much of a waste of time.

Seeing Young Girl and his eldest niece laughing, Xu Shiqiu also felt that the two of them had undergone an obvious change in these past few days.

In the past few days, the Young Girl had been moving his hands and feet so carefully that the stiffness of imitating his first niece could no longer be faintly seen.

If someone who didn't know her saw her for the first time, they definitely wouldn't be able to guess that she was just an ordinary village girl.

As for her first niece, being with Young Girl for the past few days, she had also gained some of the aura of a living being, and she was even more fond of laughing than before.

Xu Shiqiu liked to see such a change. After seeing the two of them taking out the food in the box and placing it on the table, he then walked over to the round table and sat down, preparing to eat breakfast.

Half an hour later, Dong Shu and the other two finally walked out of the Shihuan Courtyard.
