Chapter 127 He Wants to Hug

Su Wanwan also lit the fire here. The buns were still in the steamer. She just needed to boil the water and steam them thoroughly.

A soybean oil lamp was lit in the kitchen. Shen Yuan packed up his things and came out. When he saw the light coming from the kitchen, the corners of his mouth lifted involuntarily and his heart softened.

For fear of waking up Shen Zhao and the others, Shen Yuan did not take the buns out after they were heated up. Instead, he stood in the kitchen and took a bite.

With this bite, his mouth was filled with the aroma of meat, which seemed to be oozing with oil, and there were other aromas as well. He paused for a moment and finished one in just a few bites.

"good to eat."

Why are the buns made by my wife so delicious?

It tastes better than what you buy in the county town.

Shen Yuan saw Su Wanwan putting out the fire, so he walked over to help while eating a bun.

"Let me do it, you take a rest."

Shen Yuan moved quickly and put out the stove fire in an instant.

Su Wanwan felt an itch on her neck and scratched it a few times. Her eyes were stung by the smoke and she rubbed them with her hands.

It didn't matter that I rubbed it, my eyes were so stingy that tears came out.

She forgot and put a lot of medicated oil on her neck.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan threw the bun directly into the pot and turned to look over.

"What's wrong? Are you dazzled? Let me see."

He thought it was the smoke that stung his eyes, but when he got close to her, he smelled a pungent odor.

It was a smell he had never smelled before.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's Fengyoujing, I'll just wash it off."

Su Wanwan didn’t dare to rub it anymore and squinted her eyes, unable to open them.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan immediately went out and scooped a bucket of water from the water tank.

Su Wanwan quickly washed it twice with water, but it still didn't work, so she rubbed it a few more times.

Shen Yuan was standing aside. Under the dim oil lamp, he saw Su Wanwan wearing a strange dress.

She wore a pair of pants underneath, but the pants were narrower than the ones they wore, making her legs look very slender.

The top didn't reveal her arms, but the neck was open to the collarbone. In the dim environment, the white area above the collarbone seemed to glow.

If you look closely, you can see that there is some redness under the fair skin.

A mosquito bite?

There are indeed a lot of mosquitoes in this season.

The red was so eye-catching that Shen Yuan suddenly felt that his breathing was a little difficult and his whole body was hot.

Terrible.

He wanted a hug so badly.

Shen Yuan turned his face away uncomfortably, he knew that now was not the right time.

Su Wanwan's eyes finally recovered, and she didn't notice anything strange about Shen Yuan.

Maybe she didn't think about it that way at all. After all, in her heart, Shen Yuan was a no-good person.

"Have you bought the land?"

Su Wanwan cares more about this.

"Well, I bought it. The land is too cheap now. For that wasteland, one tael of silver is two mu of land. Twenty mu of land only cost ten taels of silver, and five mu was given for free."

Su Wanwan smacked her lips, it was really cheap.

But she seemed to say that only ten acres would be enough, and the sweet potato seedlings in the space are enough for ten acres.

It’s okay to buy more. Seedlings can be grown quickly in the space, and the sweet potatoes she planted will mature in just two months, so they can be grown into seedlings again.

"There is also forest land. I bought it too. It's the forest on the east side. I bought it for fifty taels. I'll take you there when I have time."

Shen Yuan was also happy to tell her this.

The kitchen space is not big, so the two of them just sit here and chat casually, and he feels very warm.

Su Wanwan was slightly stunned. The forest was so big, and it was bought for fifty taels of silver.

She will definitely be a landlord’s wife from now on.

"Don't worry about the forest for now, but you should transplant the fruit trees in it to your space first. I'm afraid if the drought continues, the fruit trees will die of drought."

When Su Wanwan heard this, she immediately nodded and said that she had to hurry up.

"There are more and more refugees in the county. I heard from Jiang Shun that the higher authorities have issued an order to let Tongxu County settle the victims and prevent them from moving south. This has worried the magistrate of Xu County."

Shen Yuan continued.

Su Wanwan scratched the lump on her wrist again, frowning slightly.

"The imperial court should have disaster relief grain."

Thinking of the young county magistrate, the new official encountered the drought when he took office. Good fortune and disaster go hand in hand.

If this matter is handled well, it will be a political achievement.

If it is not handled properly, you may even lose your job.

"Well, it will take at least half a month for the relief grain to be transported to Tongxu County, and we cannot guarantee whether it will arrive smoothly or whether there will be any dirt in the middle. We do have a granary in Tongxu County, but it only stores soybeans."

Shen Yuan saw Su Wanwan scratching herself there, her wrists turned red and her brows were furrowed.

"Don't scratch it, or you'll bleed. Wait, I'll get you some medicine."

There are many mosquitoes in the mountains and forests. He remembered that the ointment he bought last year had not been used up yet, so he went to look for it.

He knew that Su Wanwan had applied medicine, but it didn't seem to have much effect, otherwise she wouldn't keep scratching.

Su Wanwan wanted to say that her skin was too sensitive to mosquito bites and that it was not necessary, but Shen Yuan had already gone to her room.

Helplessly, she waited at the door.

Shen Yuan lit the oil lamp, searched around, and finally found the ointment. He turned around and saw Su Wanwan standing at the door, and was slightly stunned.

"Come in, are you afraid that I will eat you?"

Shen Yuan frowned even deeper.

Su Wanwan thought, isn’t this because he’s afraid that you might have an opinion?

In ancient times, men and women were very cautious.

Since he said so, she didn't hesitate and walked in.

Shen Yuan led her to the oil lamp, and taking advantage of the light, he scooped out a small amount of ointment and looked at her wrist.

Su Wanwan smelled a faint scent of herbs.

Seeing Shen Yuan looking at her, she immediately stretched out her wrist.

With his other hand, he wiped the ointment on the tip of his finger and gently applied it to his wrist.

Although there was ointment between them, it was as if their fingers were touching each other, and Shen Yuan felt his heart skip a beat.

Looking at her white wrist again, Shen Yuan did not look away this time, but instead looked at it a few more times.

Su Wanwan felt that the mosquito bite on her wrist seemed less itchy, and her eyes lit up:

"Your ointment is really good. It's better than the one we have."

Indeed, the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated.

It’s such a pity that such a useful ointment has not been passed down.

After saying that, she applied a little more, this time directly to her neck.

"You just said that the granaries in Tongxu County are full of soybeans?"

Su Wanwan thought of this and realized that it was no wonder that the county magistrate was worried.

"Well, soybeans are not very filling, but they can be made into tofu and soy sauce and sold for more money. The county magistrate wants to exchange soybeans for other coarse grains and provide more relief to refugees."

Shen Yuan inquired about a lot of things during this trip to the county town, and Su Wanwan was also very excited to hear them.

But her attention is still on soybeans.

An immature idea came to her mind, but she also knew not to act hastily.

Su Wanwan yawned, and Shen Yuan immediately covered the ointment and stuffed it into her hand.

"Go to bed now. Don't get up early to cook tomorrow. Sleep more."

Su Wanwan didn't hesitate and took the ointment.

"Well, you should go to bed early too. Good night."

Su Wanwan stood up. She was really sleepy.

Shen Yuan held the oil lamp for her behind her and did not turn around until she entered the house.

Pinching his fingertips, Shen Yuan's mouth curled up slightly. He seemed to be in a happy mood and even walked in a light-hearted manner.
