Fang Yiming couldn’t sit still and immediately shouted, “Men, prepare the carriage! ”
Fang Yiming sat in the carriage and arrived at the entrance of Locust Village. However, he didn’t enter Locust Village. Instead, he asked the coachman to find someone and tell Xue Yan that someone was looking for him and asked him to come here.
The southern general and his attendant were both in Locust Village, so it was better for him not to go in. After all, he still had the title of being a County Magistrate, and that attendant had seen him yesterday.
The coachman entered Locust Village. No one else saw him, but two boys, one big and one small, did. He walked over and asked the two boys to help him find
Xue Yan.
The two boys happened to be Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao.
When Xue Xiaobao heard that they were looking for Xue Yan, he immediately said happily, “Then wait a moment, I’ll go get him right now!!”
The coachman then immediately found out that they were Xue Yan’s nephews.
Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao held hands as they ran to Xue Dafu’s house. They didn’t see Xue Yan, but they saw Erfu and Sanfu carrying a large wooden box of ice out of the courtyard. They were about to place it on the ox cart at the entrance when the two kids appeared. They immediately asked,”Hello! Where is Sanfu? He has a classmate who is waiting for him at the village entrance. Tell him to hurry over.”
“Xue Yan’s classmate is here?” Xue Erfu was pleasantly surprised. “Xue Yan and Jiang Yue are still drying the rice in the paddy field. Many of the rice is not completely dried yet. You guys can go to the paddy field and find them there. We can’t leave.”
“Okay!” Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao immediately ran back to the paddy field, hand in hand.
Xue Erfu placed the large wooden box on the ox cart as he asked curiously, “You’re already here. Why are you waiting at the village entrance? It can’t be Yuxuan, right? Yuxuan wouldn’t be waiting at the village entrance. The coachman will usually send Yuxuan directly to our door.”
“Maybe he doesn’t want to enter the village today,” Xue Sanfu said faintly.
Xue Erfu agreed. “From the looks of it, he probably won’t be here for lunch. It’s rare for him to come here. Don’t we still have the seedless watermelons we just picked today. We also had some strawberries, tomatoes, and some dried rice noodles right? We should send some to them. I don’t know if it’s easy to bring ice cream to him, so we’ll just give him some popsicles and put them in a small wooden box.”
The paddy field.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were wearing straw hats and had rakes in their hands. They were turning over the rice in the sun. They were about to make lunch, so they were preparing to leave.
“Xue Yan!”
Hearing Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao’s silly voices, Xue Yan smiled and looked over. “What’s wrong?”
“Someone’s looking for you. He says he’s your classmate and is waiting for you at the village entrance. He wants you to go there quickly.” Xue Dabao said in one breath.
“My classmate?”
He had many classmates, so he couldn’t be sure which one was looking for him today. He also didn’t understand why they didn’t come to his house instead, but stayed at the village entrance.
Yet, he still immediately put down the rake.
The old man who was chasing birds under the shade of a tree smiled and said, “Xue Yan, go quickly. We’ll help you look after Jiang Yue, but you have to come back quickly too. We’ll be going home soon.”
Xue Yan had originally planned to bring Jiang Yue along, but the old man stopped him, so he had no choice but to leave Jiang Yue on the paddy field to continue raking the rice.
Jiang Yue didn’t mind. In fact, she didn’t have to follow Xue Yan all the time because they were together almost every day..
