After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

He Hua held Jiang Wan's hand and said softly, "Sister Wan, I think Xie Lan is a steady and mature man, who is good at both literature and martial arts, and has a strong sense of responsibility. In our place, such a good man would have been fought over by the aunts. Although I don't know why you have to sleep in separate rooms, it is not good to keep doing so. Tomorrow I will sleep in Xueling's room and make room for you and your wife."

Jiang Wan subconsciously tightened her hand and said, "Don't..."

He Hua smiled secretly and said, "Sister Wan, tell me the truth, don't you have any feelings for Xie Lan at all?"

Jiang Wan was speechless and laughed, "Sister Hehua, it's getting late. We should go to bed."

Seeing that she was deliberately avoiding answering, He Hua already knew what was going on.

She said, "Sister Wan, I really want to sleep with Xueling and the others. Otherwise, if Xie Lan comes to see you next time, won't it be very difficult for me to do it?"

She really wanted to bring Jiang Wan and Xie Lan together.

There is a saying that goes, those involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see clearly.

Except for Jiang Wan and Xie Lan, everyone else in the family can see that the two have a good impression of each other.

But for some unknown reason, neither of them wanted to express their feelings.

Lotus was treated well by Jiang Wan's family here, and she also wanted to contribute as much as possible.

Jiang Wan blushed and said, "Sister Hehua, don't worry. I will tell Xie Lan tomorrow not to come to see me again at night."

Lotus said quickly: "Don't."

She thought for a moment and said, "Sister Wan, actually I want to learn needlework from Xiaoliu, so just let me learn from her."

Jiang Wan knew very well that this was He Hua's excuse.

But Hehua insisted on living in the same room with Xueling and the others, so she had to nod and agree.

"Okay, okay, go ahead and leave me alone in the empty room."

Lotus chuckled and continued to whisper in Jiang Wan's ear.

"Sister Wan, I think Xie Lan treats you very well. I didn't even notice you were sick at night, but he even brought you medicine. It's rare to find such a thoughtful and considerate child..."

"Sister Wan, if you sleep alone at night, you will definitely be very cold. Why not let Xie Lan warm your bed..."

"Help my sister..."

Jiang Wan was forced to listen to He Hua praising Xie Lan for most of the night, and only fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

The next day.

Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and all the villagers in Lushui Village are busy.

Some were busy cleaning the yard, some were busy decorating the house, and some were busy visiting relatives and neighbors.

Xie Lan got up early in the morning. He was in good health. He simply practiced boxing in the yard, then picked up an axe and started chopping wood.

Xie Jing and Xiaohu fulfilled their promise and climbed up from the kang as soon as the rooster crowed. Without even washing their faces, they began to practice boxing and horse stance side by side in the yard.

Lotus chatted for most of the night and was in good spirits, getting up at dawn.

She skillfully went into the kitchen to boil water, prepare breakfast, and also pretend to feed fodder to the horses, chickens and ducks.

Hunter Wang also got up early. He had a limp and it was not convenient for him to work, but he was a man who could not sit still. He rummaged through the New Year's goods that Jiang Wan had bought from the town yesterday and began to put them in order and decorate them.

First, prepare the paste and paste red couplets on the doors of several rooms.

The sun came out again today, so I took out the salted food I bought to dry in the sun.

Then he prepared a lot of melon seeds and snacks and placed them on the table in the main room, and also cleaned up the thin snow in the yard.

At this time, Xie Xueling and several other girls also woke up.

He Hua brought hot water into the room and helped the three girls wash up.

Luo Yao got up late. When he woke up, he found that his two brothers were gone. He was so scared that he almost cried.

Fortunately, Luoyue knew her temper, and before Luoyao started crying, she carried her to her room.

After the four children finished washing up, breakfast was ready.

Everyone sat down to eat. Xie Xueling didn't see Jiang Wan, so she asked curiously, "Sister Hehua, where is my sister-in-law?"

Lotus smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law was too tired yesterday. She needs to rest a little longer today."

Of course, she would not say that it was because she was pestering Jiang Wan that caused him to sleep late.

Xie Xueling nodded, "Sister-in-law has indeed been very hard-working, and she really should have a good rest."

After dinner, Xie Lan was about to review his lessons when He Hua called him.

"Xie Lan, I won't sleep with Sister Wan tonight. If you have anything to say to her, why not just sleep with Sister Wan."

Xie Lan's pupils shrank, and he seemed a little shocked.

"I sleep with her...?"

He wasn't sure.

Lotus nodded firmly, "Sister Wan was embarrassed to tell you, so I conveyed her meaning. Besides, you are husband and wife, so you should sleep in the same room. How can I hinder you?"

After saying that, she turned around and left without waiting for Xie Lan to reply.

Xie Lan stood there for a long time without moving.

When Jiang Wan woke up, it was already noon.

She had a good sleep and all her tiredness disappeared.

After getting dressed, her stomach growled with hunger.

As soon as she opened the door, Xie Xueling and others who were playing in the yard ran towards her.

"Sister-in-law, wake up!"

"Sister Wan!"

"Sister Wan!"

Several voices were heard one after another, and Jiang Wan felt that these children were like little sparrows chirping on the branches, singing happily and cutely.

"What are you doing?" she asked with a smile.

"We are playing sandbag throwing. Do you want to play, sister-in-law?"

Xie Xueling invited enthusiastically.

Jiang Wan also wanted to play, but filling her stomach was more important at the moment.

Luoyue said, "Sister Wan, you haven't eaten yet, right? Sister Hehua has already prepared breakfast for you, go and eat it quickly."

Jiang Wan had this idea, so he took a group of children to the kitchen, and sure enough, he saw a bowl of fresh meat and white noodles in the iron pot.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Wan looked around the yard and discovered that red couplets were posted in the yard and big red lanterns were hung under the eaves. It really looked like the New Year was approaching.

She played the sandbag throwing game with Xie Xueling and others for a while, and then Aunt Xie from next door sent someone over to say hello and asked them to go to her house for lunch.

Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Jiang Wan took a bunch of melon seeds and dried fruits bought in town yesterday and took the children to visit Fourth Aunt Xie's home.

Aunt Xie's house was unusually lively at noon.

The two families sat at two large round tables, each of which was filled with twelve dishes, half meat and half vegetarian.

The men at the table drank and played finger-guessing games, while the women and children's table kept it simpler, just chatting and laughing.

Juhua was the most well-informed about gossip. After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she picked her teeth and said, "Sister Wan'er, I have good news for you."

Jiang Wan looked at her curiously, "What good news?"

Juhua gloated, "Your second uncle's daughter, your second cousin Jiang Yan'er, was found guilty of kidnapping and theft, and was exiled by the government. Not only her, but also her bastard cousin Liu Ershun, and I think there's also Li Xiaosi. Didn't the three of them try to bully Wan'er before? Now they deserve the punishment, which is really gratifying!"

Jiang Wan and Fourth Aunt Xie looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Jiang Wan did not tell Meihua, Juhua and the others about Jiang Yan'er and the other two, mainly because he was afraid that they would worry.

Unexpectedly, the news still reached Lushui Village.

But since Juhua knows about it, the Jiang family must know about it too, right?
