"Huh?"
"Mom, that's not right!" Yang i exclaid. "If water spilled on the sofa, it would just get wet. Why does this water have such a strange sll?"
"This sll is really weird!" As she spoke, Yang i sniffed her hand again.
Seeing this, Feng Chunling's face turned red. This... this... How embarrassing!
Suppressing her sha, Feng Chunling explained with a straight face, "Oh, what strange sll could there be? Think about how many years we've had this sofa. We haven't washed it once since we bought it! It'd be stranger if it *didn't* have a sll!" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel_fіre
Hearing Feng Chunling's explanation, Yang i finally let go of her doubts. "Oh, is that so?"
Seeing that Yang i believed her, Feng Chunling breathed a sigh of relief and poured her daughter a glass of water. "By the way, daughter, I haven't asked you yet, what's your situation? How is it that you looked for a job for two months, couldn't find one, and just ca back? You're a university graduate!"
As soon as Feng Chunling said this, Yang i couldn't help but roll her eyes dramatically. "Ugh, Mom, don't even start. What university? It was just a crappy technical college! I don't even know what to say. Right after I graduated, they threw into a factory. That place was absolute torture!
"It was night shifts, then day shifts, then back to night shifts. Twelve hours a day, with almost no days off all month. After two months, I felt like I was about to collapse, so I quit. But after quitting, I couldn't find a job anywhere! I had no other choice but to co back."
Hearing Yang i's explanation, Feng Chunling sighed. "Sigh, so now you see how tough it is out there, huh? If you ask , you should just stay here in the village. Let Er Gou find a job for you. The work is easy, the pay is high—what's not to like?"
Feng Chunling's words made Yang i roll her eyes again. "Oh, give a break, Mom! That's not what you used to say. Before, every ti you ntioned Liu Ergou, you'd call him a 'little brat.' I've only been gone for a few days, and now you're calling him 'Er Gou' so affectionately. Hmph, I'm starting to wonder about you..."
Before Yang i could finish, Feng Chunling smacked her lightly on the head. "What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat! If you keep letting your imagination run wild, you'll see how I deal with you!
"Besides, I already spoke to Liu Ergou about your situation, and he agreed to arrange a position for you! Now you listen to . Tomorrow, buy so gifts and go apologize to Er Gou! Do you hear ?"
The mont she heard the word "apologize," Yang i bristled. "What? You want to apologize to Liu Ergou?" She stared at Feng Chunling in disbelief.
She knew her mother would never have said sothing like this before. But now...
At the thought, Yang i flatly refused. "I'm not going. I refuse to apologize to him! I'd rather die than apologize to Liu Ergou!"
With that, Yang i turned her head away, her posture screaming that she would rather die than go.
Seeing how disobedient her daughter was being, Feng Chunling's tone turned cold. "I'm telling you, Yang i, you're going tomorrow whether you like it or not! This is a golden opportunity, a pie falling from the sky! Are you really too lazy to even open your mouth for it?"
Hearing the chill in her mother's voice, Yang i didn't dare say any more. She could only plead pitifully, "Mom, can't you just let off the hook? I'm afraid if I go tomorrow, Liu Ergou will just look for trouble with !"
However, even this did not change Feng Chunling's mind. "No. You must go tomorrow!"
Seeing her mother's unyielding determination, Yang i didn't dare to argue further. She could only nod with an aggrieved expression, then took her luggage and went back to her room.
anwhile, after returning ho and eating dinner, Liu Ergou went straight to bed. Although he wasn't physically exhausted, he had been under imnse ntal strain recently. He needed to rest early to recover his spirit.
「The next morning.」
After waking up, Liu Ergou first ate breakfast, then headed straight for the wasteland to check on the situation.
Although the land reclamation team had only been there for one afternoon, their machinery was fully automated. In just that short ti, nearly ten mu of wasteland had been cleared and prepared. All that was left was to sow the seeds, and the land would be ready for use.
Seeing this, Liu Ergou nodded in satisfaction, marveling at the reclamation team's efficiency.
After checking on the progress, Liu Ergou headed for Liu Yunxi's house. So ti ago, Liu Yunxi had ntioned she was starting a seed breeding project. Since then, she had been so busy that she rarely even left her ho. All village affairs had been handed over to Liu Jingming and the others. Several days had passed, and Liu Ergou was curious about her progress.
Soon, he arrived at Liu Yunxi's house. Upon entering, he saw her sitting at a table, completely absorbed in her work. Liu Ergou didn't interrupt, simply standing behind her to watch. After observing for a good while, he had to admit he didn't understand a thing.
Just then, Liu Yunxi finished the task at hand. When she turned around and saw Liu Ergou standing behind her, she jumped.
"Er Gou! You scared !" Liu Yunxi exclaid with a touch of irritation, then stood up and gave him a big hug.
Liu Ergou hugged her back and chuckled. "Hey, you can't bla . I saw how focused you were, so I didn't dare to disturb you. Who knew that would still be my fault!"
Liu Yunxi just rolled her eyes at his words.
Liu Ergou then asked, "Yun Xi, how's the breeding project coming along?"
"The breeding is going very smoothly," Liu Yunxi replied. "It'll be completely finished in another two or three days. Then we can officially put the seeds to use!"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou nodded in satisfaction. He couldn't help but lean down and plant a loud kiss on her cheek. The kiss made Liu Yunxi blush instantly.
"Stop it!" she said coyly. "It's broad daylight and you're already getting fresh. Aren't you afraid of being seen? If soone saw us, who knows what they'd say!"
However, Liu Ergou just puffed out his chest and declared righteously, "Why should I be afraid of being seen? Yun Xi, you personally promised to be my girlfriend. Now that you are, what's wrong with kissing you? Isn't that perfectly normal?
"Is soone really going to gossip about kissing my own girlfriend? I'd like to see them try. They must be looking for trouble!"
