Dongnuan set off early and arrived at the town at noon.
Since the time for the Hanjiang Tower exam has been distributed a long time ago, Dong Nuan naturally knows about it.
The two of them had made an appointment before, and Dong Nuan would come one day in advance for the first and last show.
Therefore, at noon that day, Hanjianglou was not in a hurry to cook. Instead, he read for a while and then went to the courtyard to take a look.
The scholar who was in the same college as him was eating at the moment, flipping through a book while eating.
The lady sitting opposite him couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "I see that your classmate didn't cook for lunch today."
Because of the hard work of studying, most of these scholars eat three meals a day.
They are separated from Hanjiang Tower by a main room. Usually Hanjiang Tower is very low-key and rarely leaves the room.
I cook almost on time every day, but today I didn't.
Moreover, he changed his usual habit of staying low-key in the house and stood directly at the door, looking around from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.
After the scholar lady finished asking, she reacted in a daze: "By the way, is Mr. Han's fiancée coming over?"
The other party has not been here for nearly a month, and the scholar lady has almost forgotten this person.
The scholar raised his head and took a quick look, then nodded and said, "Probably."
He had a good relationship with Hanjianglou, but he didn't realize that he could inquire about his fiancée casually.
Ordinary classmates can't do this. They have nothing to ask about someone's unmarried daughter-in-law. What are their intentions?
After hearing this, the scholar lady looked out from time to time, but she didn't ask any more questions.
Dong Nuan was walking around the street at this time. If she came over, Hanjianglou would probably not cook at noon and would wait for her to arrive before starting cooking so that she could have a hot bite.
Dong Nuan didn't want to trouble them, even with the help of the book boy Shi'er, but there were ready-made ones on the street, so it was good to just buy them and eat them without much money difference.
"What do you want to eat?" Dong Nuan bought a piece of roast mutton, two stir-fried vegetables, and a few sesame seed cakes, then turned around and asked Dianthus.
Dianthus has been eating very well recently, better than when she was in the village before. After every meal, she has gained some fat on her face and body, and she no longer looks as frighteningly thin as she did at first.
When Dong Nuan asked her this question, she shook her head and said, "I'll just follow the girl and eat."
Dong Nuan actually didn't pay close attention to what Dianthus liked to eat. After thinking about it, she ordered two wontons from a store. She had bought some vegetables before, and two wontons were enough for them.
Seeing that he had almost everything in his hands, Dong Nuan drove the little donkey towards the courtyard of Hanjiang Tower.
When the warmth of winter arrived, Hanjianglou had been standing at the door for a while, with Shi Er by his side.
The scholar and his wife who live together have already had dinner, and now the scholar's wife is washing the dishes. She heard the movement at the door and looked up outside.
When I saw that it was indeed the familiar face from Yue Yue, and then I saw that Dong Nuan was followed by the maid, carrying a lot of things in her hands, I couldn't help but look at it several times with envy.
"Have you not eaten?" After the winter warmed up, Hanjianglou touched his head, then raised his head and asked coquettishly.
Hanjianglou couldn't help but smile when he was asked, and sighed softly: "Waiting for you to come together."
While he was talking, he was already helping Shi Er to get things from the donkey cart. Diazhu took some, and Shi Er also took some, but there were still some that could not be finished. Hanjianglou went over and picked them up casually.
The last thing Hanjianglou took was the small basket of loquats. It was not too light and heavy. Hanjianglou took a curious look, and then he saw the bright yellow loquats.
To be honest, if I hadn't seen and eaten this fruit when I was in the capital in my previous life, Hanjiang Tower would really not recognize it.
When he saw these fruits, Hanjianglou's heart condensed. There were no loquat trees on the mountains near Xiaowan Village, and they were rarely seen even near the county seat.
"This is..." Hanjianglou didn't mean to test Dong Nuan, he just asked softly.
He was afraid that the little girl would be cheated, or something like that.
This fruit tastes pretty good, but if you need to spend a lot of money, it’s not necessary.
Just a little fruit.
"Picked on the mountain, it tastes pretty good." Dong Nuan's excuse was not very careless. While talking, he took out one, wiped it briefly, and handed it to Hanjianglou's mouth.
When Hanjianglou was fed, the tips of his ears turned red involuntarily. Originally, there was only a trace of doubt in his heart, but now it is all gone.
He originally wanted to avoid it, but after all, it was broad daylight and they were not married yet. He didn't want others to see it and think that Dong Nuan was acting frivolously.
The reputation of the girl's family is very important, and Hanjiang Tower doesn't want Dong Nuan to be criticized.
Just looking at the little girl's expectant expression and shining eyes, my heart softened, and I couldn't bear to move away. I took Dong Nuan's hand and took a bite.
The fruit tastes good, sour and sweet in the mouth. Hanjianglou chewed it carefully, and suddenly thought of the time they went up to the mountain to pick peaches the year before last.
He had actually visited the mountain behind Xiaowan Village many times. He had been to the place where they picked peaches before, but he had never seen a peach tree.
The peach tree seemed to appear out of thin air.
Just like the loquat in my mouth at this time...
The little girl may have some secrets, after all, they are all people who can dream of gods.
Hanjiang Tower also has its own secrets, so I don't want to test it too much, because that would be too hurtful.
He hasn't told everything yet, so why should he ask Dong Nuan to tell him everything?
"Is it delicious?" Seeing Hanjianglou chewing slowly, Dongnuan tilted her head and asked him with a smile.
Seeing this, Hanjianglou couldn't help but squinted his eyes, nodded and said: "It's sweet and sour, very delicious, and very appetizing."
Upon hearing this, Dong Nuan nodded proudly.
The little girl's chin is slightly raised, which is not annoying at all, but also has a bit of cuteness.
The two of them took a slow step and entered the room. Shi'er quickly set the table, while Dianthus arranged the dishes. They could just serve them directly.
They are not particularly particular about it, after all, there is no space or money to be particular about these days, so Dianthus and Shier also came to the table to eat together.
Dong Nuan bought a lot of things, and the four of them couldn't finish them all, so there was probably a lot left over.
It just so happens that Hanjianglou and Shier don't have to worry about cooking at night. Some dishes can be left alone and can be eaten later by heating them up.
Dong Nuan's meal was still very small, one sesame seed pancake with some vegetables, one bite of mutton was not touched, and one bowl of wontons was vegetarian, so I actually ate two.
After dinner, Shizhu went to wash the dishes, Shi'er helped, while Dongnuan sat in the house with Hanjianglou.
Two people, one reading a book and the other a storybook, talked about what happened around them in the past month from time to time.
