The old lady joked about Dongyang, but in fact she still didn't agree with her statement.

How can I be worthy? He is a scholar from a big city, and he has a bright future without this poor village. What does her granddaughter have? He is not very beautiful, has a gentle temperament, is stubborn and unreasonable. He has no other ability except farming. This kind of ability is exactly what scholars do not need, and the two of them are not suitable at all.

It can be seen that his granddaughter was so indifferent that Old Mrs. Wu never continued this topic, but she always cared about this matter and took the opportunity to plan the future for her only concern in this world.

Dongyang naturally didn't know what the old lady was thinking. She was busy every day.

With Carpenter Zhao, I had a lot of work to do, and they were all very meticulous work. I couldn’t get up quickly. In addition, the weeds in the fields were rising, so I had to pull out the weeds.

She couldn't leave any work at both ends, so she decided to go to Carpenter Zhao's place during the day and get up at three o'clock in the morning to pull weeds in the field.

It was already dawn at three o'clock in the morning, and it was not hot to work in the fields, just in time.

Go to the field to pull grass for two or three hours before coming back to cook and clean up, without delaying the work during the day.

Fortunately, Wu Qing has a good foundation in her body, and Dongyang is not at all uncomfortable when she gets up early and goes to bed late.

Later, Zhang Kuang knew how busy she was every day, so he felt sorry for her, so he offered to help her go to the ground to pull weeds. Dongyang refused mercilessly.

"Don't let it go, don't cause trouble for me! Look at you, wearing glasses, are so gentle and gentle. You can't do a good job at first glance. If the villagers know about helping me pull weeds, how will it be passed on?" Dongyang said to Zhang Kuang while nailing wooden wedges.

Zhang Kuang felt that what she said was unreasonable and retorted: "Don't forget what we were doing here! I saved you once last time, so we had a life-long friendship. It happened to strike while the iron was hot, and I pursued you fiercely, and then we were together naturally, perfect!"

"Perfect, no," Dongyang took his busy schedule and looked up at him: "Don't forget that you are Teacher Wen now, and you are teaching in this remote mountain village. The school has not been built yet and the students have not started. Your work has not started yet. What will the villagers say behind their backs? Have you ever thought about it? Can you ignore this?"

Of course, we can't ignore it. After all, he is using Wen Xiaoshan's identity now, and Wen Xiaoshan attaches great importance to these things.

"What should I do next? I don't feel sorry for you when you are so busy! Also, I can stay in the village for a year. If I just want a reputation, what will we do?" Zhang Kuang was so worried.

Dongyang sighed and looked up at him with a fool's eyes: "Why are you so stupid? It's not appropriate for you to chase me, so I'll just chase you!"

"You, you chase me..." Zhang Kuang was shocked: "Are you sure? If you chase me, the villagers won't talk about you? You don't want your reputation?"

"What's my reputation?" Dongyang said dismissively: "I am already quite stingy in the eyes of others and can do anything. The teacher who chased the city would also say that if I can't catch up with the villagers, at most I'm overestimating myself. If I catch up with them, I will envy them to death, and it will not have much impact on me."

How could she not catch up? So she just waited for the villagers to envy her.

Zhang Kuang thought carefully for a long time and finally decided to say, "Okay, just do what you said. The little comrade performed well, but I won't follow you if I don't perform well."

Look at his cheap and acted like he is so obedient.

Dongyang put down his work and spread one hand, and said with confidence: "Give me some money."

Zhang Kuang gave her the money before he remembered to ask her what she wanted.

Dongyang explained: "This is your food expenses. Don't eat from house to house in the future, I'll make it for you."

In fact, this is not cost-effective. You don’t have to spend money when you go to the villagers’ house to eat. If you eat with Dongyang, you have to spend money by yourself, and he will make up for the extra living expenses.

However, Zhang Kuang didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage. He had money in his pocket and had his salary, so he spent enough money. If he could exchange a little money for more time with Dongyang, it would definitely be worth it.

The two hit it off and agreed to send the dinner for that day Dongyang came to him, asking him not to rush to go to the villagers' house for dinner.

Things didn't go well.

Two guests came to the house during dinner that day. The food made by Dongyangduo could not be delivered to Zhang Kuang, but it was cheaper for the two guests.

The two of them who came were from the village. The aunt, who was over 40 years old, was the women's director of the village. She loved to do things and was particularly concerned about the marriages of men and women of the appropriate age in the village.

The guy she brought was named Li Bai, who was twenty-five years old this year and had a very bumpy life experience.

Li Bai's biological parents are from a villager in the same hometown, and his biological father is a mute. His biological mother is crazy and has a bad mind. The two have eight children in total. The family is not in good condition and they really can't afford to raise so many, so they simply gave away the three younger children who were born later.

Li Bai ranked eighth in his parents' home, and was only more than three months old when he was sent away.

His adoptive parents had three children in front of him, but they died before they were raised. The adoptive mother was so sad that her body could not regenerate, so she adopted Li Bai and took good care of her.

This kind of thing cannot be hidden. Li Bai knew since he was a child that he was not his parents' biological child, but this did not prevent him from being filial to his parents. When he was less than 20 years old, his adoptive mother died of illness. His adoptive father barely survived for a few years ago and it was gone. Now Li Bai is the only one left in the Li family.

Li Bai is down-to-earth and capable. He farms at home from spring to autumn and goes to the mountains to do side jobs in winter, and can save a lot of money in a year.

His life was good, and his brothers and sisters who grew up with their parents didn't live well. They were very jealous of him. They came here every now and then, and they would be trolls if they didn't give it to him, which was very shameless.

As for Li Bai, he is neither stupid nor stupid, so he naturally doesn't want to give them a favor, but he can't beat them alone. Every time he stumbles for a long time, he will lose. He is really frustrated.

Today, my aunt brought Li Bai over and had a simple purpose, just to introduce her to a partner.

The fact that my aunt could bring the person directly to the door shows that she had already greeted Mrs. Wu before and received the old lady's permission. Even if Dongyang was unwilling to do so, he could not send the person away casually.

The meal was served and the young man was very embarrassed. My aunt kept saying three words to Li Bai.
