Chapter 172: Fellow Villager A Shui
"Third uncle, sixth uncle, seventh uncle, aunt, aunt..."
Chu Qingyuan saw a lot of people coming to the door, so she hurriedly went up to them and greeted everyone in turn.
Chu Zonghuai also came over with Miao Lanyi. Si Luanxiao had already come to her side when Chu Qingyuan made any move, and he called her whatever she called him.
He also talked to everyone openly while facing everyone's gazes.
From his words and actions, everyone can tell that the young man is a well-educated and motivated young man: "Young man, I see that you have been a soldier or practiced martial arts with your physique?"
The person who spoke was his third uncle. Si Luanxiao answered very respectfully. From Yuanyuan's attitude, he knew that these people held a high status in her heart, and he must leave a good impression.
"Reporting to my third uncle, I am a veteran of seven years and now a division commander."
After hearing this resounding answer, everyone was happy for Chu Qingyuan. This child finally wouldn't have to handle everything on his own in the future.
"it is good!"
Everybody cheered, they all knew in their hearts that the young man was extremely outstanding, otherwise how could he have earned so many military merits and been promoted, but his family background must also be good, otherwise at his young age, he would have oppressed many people.
For a moment, all the old men surrounded Si Luanxiao, asking questions and joking, and entrusting him with matters concerning A Yuan.
The women came to Miao Lanyi and her daughter and talked to them.
There is not too much work to do here at this moment, mainly because Chu Qingyuan has returned, so everyone has to come and see her and give her some valuable gifts.
The reason they were so supportive was due to Chu Qingyuan’s own ability.
She made sure everyone had enough food to eat, the children had books to read, and the village had cement roads built to bring everyone's children back...
To the people in the village, Chu Qingyuan is their great benefactor, and everyone is competing to express their gratitude.
Si Luanxiao took the time to make a gesture to the two men, and they understood what he meant.
Soon, a little smoke rose up. They had already brewed tea. The tea leaves were brought by them, and there was a teapot at home, which could be cleaned after washing.
But most people just stop and say a few words, then drop off their things and leave.
Only a few people with whom they had a good relationship sat in the yard and chatted. Si Luanxiao consciously took on the task of entertaining them, and Chu Zonghuai chatted with the old men.
Miao Lanyi was rarely in high spirits and wanted to invite all the uncles, aunts and relatives to have dinner at home. She directly instructed her brothers, wives, cousins and sisters who came to visit to clean up.
They simply couldn't finish all the food everyone took.
Soon the place was full of guests and there was great joy.
"I recognize you!"
Fan Nuo originally came here with her mother to deliver something. She didn't know that Chu Qingyuan was her savior. For Chu Qingyuan's safety, they all knew it privately and didn't dare tell the children at all, for fear of retaliation.
But Fan Nuo recognized her at the first sight.
At this moment, Chu Qingyuan was standing aside, talking to Aunt Acai. There was also a fat boy next to them, hugging Acai's thigh and hiding beside her.
Chu Qingyuan was teasing him with a piece of candy, while Uncle Erzhuang had already taken his own axe and was chopping wood with a "bang bang" sound.
Fan Nuo rushed to Chu Qingyuan in a few steps and reached out to grab her. Chu Qingyuan recognized her and did not move, but Si Luanxiao did not recognize her.
He was highly alert to anyone who approached Chu Qingyuan, regardless of whether they were men or women. He quickly walked to Chu Qingyuan's side, stretched out his arm, pulled her sleeve, and quickly backed away.
"What do you want to do?"
"What do you want to do again?"
Fan Nuo was not afraid of him at all, which made Chu Qingyuan look at him with admiration. You know, Si Luanxiao could be very fierce when he was serious.
"Let her go!"
She was just a thin girl, but she seemed to be able to confront Si Luanxiao. If they hadn't seen her clenched fists as she pretended to be calm, they would have thought that she was really not nervous.
Si Luanxiao looked at his heartless girl and found that she was now smiling and standing there watching the fun. He breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she was no longer sad, he would do anything.
Looking at this girl who was obviously defending Yuanyuan, he stopped confronting her.
"Hello, I'm Yuanyuan's boyfriend. Do you have any misunderstandings about me?"
Since he is Yuanyuan's friend, he doesn't want to make enemies with him.
"you?"
Fan Nuo looked at him for a few seconds and said nothing.
In her heart, her savior is like a fairy, and no one is worthy of her!
Since this guy looked okay and was chosen by her benefactor, she decided to be polite to him: "Hello, my name is Fan Nuo, and I'm the person you saved before."
She was talking to Si Luanxiao, but her eyes were always on Chu Qingyuan, as if she was afraid that she would forget her.
"Is your name Yuanyuan? You can call me Ashui."
Chu Qingyuan also found her pleasing to the eye: "A Shui, my name is Chu Qingyuan."
Seeing her friendly attitude, Ah Shui was overjoyed. It was like seeing the god she had been worshipping suddenly come to the world and speak to her in a friendly manner.
Her face flushed as she quietly approached Chu Qingyuan, her eyes devout and seemingly fanatical.
"Yuanyuan, did you just come back? Are you still leaving? Can I come to see you?"
Chu Qingyuan answered her series of questions one by one, and Si Luanxiao felt a toothache and stomachache watching her.
In just a short while, while he was standing at the gate chatting with everyone, there were at least three or four people whose faces changed when the elders introduced him as Yuanyuan's partner, not counting the younger ones who were working in the fields and had not yet come.
His heart was filled with sourness and jealousy.
He could only comfort himself that he was now Yuanyuan's legitimate partner, and no one was closer to Yuanyuan than him.
Now, he not only has to be on guard against men, but also women!
This woman, who looks plain but has a lot of cunning thoughts, the way she looks at Yuanyuan can definitely not be described as innocent!
"Xiaoluan."
"Here I come, Uncle Chu."
Before leaving, he turned back to look at the distance between Yuanyuan and the woman. She! When did she get so close to Yuanyuan!
But he had to respond to his father-in-law's words, so he could only walk towards the crowd in a depressed mood, his heart still worried as he walked. It was okay in Kyoto, where he had deep roots and no one dared to challenge his authority easily.
But it’s different here. This is Chu Qingyuan’s territory, and he rarely feels so aggrieved.
"Yuanyuan, I was admitted to Kyoto University last year. Can I come to see you when I return to Kyoto?"
Chu Qingyuan was really surprised. She knew that the girl was one year older than her, and she thought that people of her age had already started to arrange marriages by oath. She didn't expect that she was so smart.
Just because she herself doesn't want to continue her studies doesn't mean she doesn't like people who are good at studying. Looking at the girl's sincere and passionate eyes, her heart was moved.
"Okay, how are your grades? I want to do something, but unfortunately I'm short of manpower. You..."
"I am willing!"
This roar broke all the excitement in the yard. Fan Nuo seemed to have just realized that he was a little excited. His face was red, but his lips were raised high, and he kept whispering: "I do, I do."
Si Luanxiao was almost anxious to death.
What do you want?
You better tell me quickly!
