Cthulhu

After breakfast and watching his aunt leave, Liu Yao helped his uncle Liu Anru to the bed to rest, and began to clean the room and yard restlessly.

Different from her aunt's simple happiness, Liu Yao is now more worried about the young man's attitude.

After all, everything happened too fast.

He and Yin Yueli had only known each other for a few days, and they didn't know each other very well. They were suddenly about to talk about marriage. Even Liu Yao himself felt that the matter was too rushed.

How will the other party feel? Will he be surprised? Will he feel that he doesn't respect himself enough and just want to find someone to marry?

Or more seriously, would you feel that you are deliberately deceiving, just to avoid the marriage arranged by your family, and you will not hesitate to use the other party to escape...

A rustling sound came from the corner, interrupting Liu Yao's random thoughts.

"who!"

Liu Yao was startled and hurriedly came over to see the black kitten wagging its tail and leisurely emerging from the shadows in the corner.

Liu Yao relaxed, bent down to pick up the black cat, and rubbed the other person's head.

"It's you. Where have you been? I've been looking for it for a long time but I still can't find it."

The black cat didn't meow, and lay lazily in his arms.

The black cat's eyes were also pure black, and they seemed to be completely integrated with the shadows when they were in the corner. No wonder he hadn't noticed it before.

This interruption made Liu Yao forget about his previous entanglement and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Forget it, it's useless to think so much. Maybe he also likes me and is willing to agree to the future engagement... Let's go. There is still a lot of work to be done today. Let me plant all these red sesame seeds first. .”

The black cat who originally had a leisurely expression suddenly pricked up his ears when he heard the word "engagement".

But after waiting for a long time, Liu Yao didn't hear clearly who he was.

Taking out two larger flower pots, Liu Yao sat on a low stool, lowered his head and counted the seeds in the cloth bag.

After yesterday's transaction with Shopkeeper Jiao, there were still almost fifty seeds of red mushrooms left. Aunt Feng Wen didn't hesitate much and handed them all to Liu Yao when she came back.

According to her, the high price of thirty taels of silver was entirely due to Liu Yao, and the remaining seeds should all be his.

Naturally, Liu Yao couldn't convince his aunt, so he could only think of growing as many as possible to reduce the pressure on his uncle's treatment.

"Don't move." The black cat in his arms seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly began to struggle violently. Liu Yao quickly held it down, "Be good, I want to plant the red grass first, and I will play with you later. Don’t move yet.”

The black cat didn't listen to his explanation at all, but struggled harder.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yao couldn't help but wonder, but the movements in his hands did not stop. He planted a few seeds neatly. After hesitating for a moment, he finally followed the same example as that night and poured a small amount of water on the surface of the soil.

"Are you hungry, or would you like to go outside and play by yourself?" Liu Yao wiped his hands on the soft cloth and raised the black cat in his arms in front of him.
