Chapter 65: Mainly because She Was Insecure
I couldn't understand why the man suddenly asked that question.
She usually fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed, but at noon today, Yun Qinghuan stared at the roof with her eyes open, staring at the spider webs on it, and even had the leisure to count how many small insects were stuck on it, but she couldn't fall asleep.
When the time came, she just felt a headache, which was a bit unaccustomed.
An An was still sleeping soundly, so she had to shake him awake.
Otherwise, everyone would leave later, and he would be scared if he suddenly woke up and couldn't see anyone.
She was still thinking about how to treat Bai Naihan later.
As a result, before she could prepare her emotions, as soon as she opened the door, the man was already sitting quietly in the yard working.
He lowered his head and cut wood with a knife. When he heard the noise, he looked up at her and gave her a standard smile, "Sister-in-law, you're awake."
His attitude was too natural, as if the question just now was not asked by him.
Yun Qinghuan was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Yes, didn't you take a break at noon?"
The man smiled and shook his head, "I'm not tired at noon."
Yun Qinghuan looked at the wooden board in his hand and asked curiously, "What kind of furniture are you making?"
I was very curious that he could actually do carpentry, and looking at his skilled craftsmanship, I'm afraid he has practiced for a long time.
Bai Naihan put down the things and hung the saw to a higher place. There is also a three-year-old child at home who hates cats and dogs. Although An An is more sensible than children of the same age, he still needs to be careful. After all, it is a saw, which is very sharp. It would be bad if An An accidentally hurts himself while playing with it.
Although the man looks indifferent, he is actually very careful.
He piled the wooden boards next to him and said, "The house is still short of chairs and tables. Anyway, I have nothing to do during this period, so I plan to make some."
Thinking that her room had simple furniture and she liked to lie on the table to write from time to time, but there was no separate desk, he asked her, "Sister-in-law, I see you often read and write, do you need me to make a desk for you?"
"Can you make a desk?" Yun Qinghuan really wanted a desk. The table in the room was too high, and she felt uncomfortable lying on it.
Originally, she wanted to wait until she made money and asked Liu Yuzhi where she could find furniture makers to make a desk. Now that Bai Naihan asked her, she was naturally surprised.
The man chuckled, "I can make it, but my craftsmanship may not be particularly good. Just don't despise it."
Yun Qinghuan was very surprised. Looking at his skillful movements just now, he didn't look like he had bad craftsmanship. This man was quite modest.
"Why would I dislike it? I can't thank you enough. I really need it. I don't have any requirements. It would be great if I could build a row of drawers, just enough to put books. You can take care of the rest."
"Okay."
Because the two people had a natural conversation, no one mentioned what happened at noon, Yun Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Since no one mentioned it, just pretend it didn't happen.
The main reason was that she felt uneasy.
The three of them carried the basket and ran to cut grass for the pigs. Yun Qinghuan also went to the kitchen to pack the acacia flowers she brought for Qiao Yue, preparing to go there for her to eat.
It was also a coincidence that when she got there, Qiao Yue and Shen Jingyang were both there. When she saw her, Qiao Yue's eyes lit up and she came over with a cloth bag, "Qinghuan, Jingyang and I just found two wild fruit trees. The fruits seemed to be ripe, so we picked some and tasted good, so I brought some for you."
As he said that, he opened the cloth bag and let her taste it.
Yun Qinghuan took a look and then her eyes lit up.
It turned out to be wild plums and loquats.
Although the plums were small, they were purple and a little soft when pinched, which meant they were ripe. The loquats were also yellow. Just by opening the bag, you could clearly smell the fragrance of the fruit.
Yun Qinghuan hadn't eaten fruit for a long time. Now her mouth moved unconsciously. She was a little greedy, so she didn't hesitate to grab a handful of plums from the bag and wash them in the stream next to her.
The water in the stream came from the mountain. It was running water, clear and not dirty. Many people in the village used the water from the stream to wash vegetables and the like.
After washing, she threw one directly into her mouth, "So sweet!"
Her eyes were sparkling, and even narrowed into two crescents.
For a moment, even Qiao Yue was a little stunned, and silently said in her heart that her friend felt much sweeter than fruit.
She subconsciously looked at Bai Naihan next to her and found that not only was she staring at Yun Qinghuan for a while, but even Yun Qinghuan's brother-in-law was also looking at Yun Qinghuan with a focused look.
Even, there was a hint of doting.
Thinking of the rumors in the village, Qiao Yue's eyes darkened and she was a little worried.
Although she believed in her friend's character and had been in the village for so long, she had heard that Bai Naihan was a good person, but after all, they were a single man and a single woman living under the same roof, especially since Yun Qinghuan's mother-in-law was out working in the fields every day and spent very little time at home, which meant that only Bai Naihan, Yun Qinghuan and a child were left at home.
Moreover, Bai Naihan often helped Yun Qinghuan cut grass for pigs. This came and went, and he was in his prime, so it was hard not to be moved.
Especially Yun Qinghuan was so beautiful, Qiao Yue even felt that her friend was getting more and more beautiful. That kind of relaxation made her look so beautiful that even she, a member of the same sex, was often fascinated, not to mention another excellent adult male.
Excellent people are attractive to each other.
Qiao Yue thought of the praise in Yun Qinghuan's tone when he talked about Bai Naihan, her brother-in-law, some time ago, and her lips tightened a little.
But she also felt that if the two of them really got together, there wouldn't be anything wrong.
She had also heard of such things.
There is even a couple like this in this brigade.
After her husband died, she remarried to her brother-in-law. It doesn't matter who she married, she married her brother-in-law. He has a blood relationship with the child, so he won't abuse the child.
Besides, Yun Qinghuan is still so young, she can't stay a widow for the rest of her life, it's unfair to her.
And Bai Naihan, a grown man, can't stay single for his whole life.
On the contrary, Yun Qinghuan is really with Bai Naihan, and is good to the child. After all, Bai Naihan is the child's uncle, and there will be no stepfather abusing the child.
It's just a pity for Bai Naihan's legs...
Qiao Yue had a lot of random thoughts, Yun Qinghuan waved at her, "What are you thinking about, so absent-minded?"
"What's wrong?"
Qiao Yue came back to her senses, looking at Yun Qinghuan's clear eyes, and felt a little guilty.
"I want to ask where you picked these fruits. I want to pick some when I have time."
Qiao Yue smiled, "Just walk up the mountain over there. But we have almost picked all the ripe fruits we can reach. The rest are green fruits, sour."
"Ah?" Yun Qinghuan was a little disappointed.
She thought the plums were delicious.
Seeing her like this, Qiao Yue put the cloth bag in her basket, "I'll leave it for you. Don't worry. The fruits in this bag are enough for you to eat for two days."
Yun Qinghuan looked at so many fruits, at least two or three pounds, squinted and smiled, and accepted them without hesitation, "Then I won't be polite."
"Why are you being polite to me?"
"I also brought you acacia flowers. Eat them while they are hot. It's not too cold yet."
