Chapter 78 -78: The White Jade Hairpin_1
Nan Quanyou looked at Nan Feng in confusion, “Didn’t you say you were leaving the vegetable field to me?”
Nan Feng nonchalantly replied, “Didn’t you forbid me from going to the mountains to gather herbs?
If I have nothing else to do, of course, I have to find work in the vegetable field.
Otherwise, I’ll get ill from idleness.”
She rinsed her mouth, washed her face, picked up the water bucket, and stepped out.
Nan Quanyou was still puzzled.
Chores for the house were not just limited to the vegetable field.
Didn’t the potatoes planted in the courtyard need to be watered too?
But soon he realized.
Nan Feng was in a good mood when they changed beds yesterday, but ever since she found out that the cabbage was given by Ye, she had been upset.
It must be due to the cabbage.
He shook his head, then took another water bucket.
After all, the potatoes in the courtyard needed watering too.
“…”
…
Thanks to the fertilizers and her performance in the mountain song, more and more villagers were warming up to Nan Feng.
On her way to the vegetable field, quite a few villagers greeted her warmly.
Nan Feng greeted everyone on her way to the vegetable field, but Ye wasn’t there.
Nan Feng thought that perhaps he had overslept and would come later, so she took her time watering the crops.
But even when the sun was high in the sky, Ye still hadn’t arrived.
Disappointed, Nan Feng went home, her resentment festering even more.
He didn’t come to find her, and he wasn’t at the vegetable field where she was waiting.
Was he avoiding her, marking boundaries?
She angrily dragged her water bucket home, not even hearing when villagers greeted her on the way.
The villagers were left stunned.
Nan Feng was usually so pleasant.
Why was she ignoring them all of a sudden?
Nan Feng didn’t notice his familiar figure until she neared the mouth of the road by her house.
He was leaning against the wall of the old house, wearing a straw hat, and carrying a bundle.
It was unknown when he had arrived there.
When their eyes met, Nan Feng’s heart pounded like a rabbit’s, a mix of joy and anger.
She was delighted to see him at last, but upset that he hadn’t come to find her.
In the end, the anger prevailed.
She decided to just greet him and walk past.
But Ye beat her to it.
His voice was still so appealing, low and husky like a bass drum, “Nan Feng!” freeweɓnovel.cøm
Nan Feng simply hummed in response but found herself walking toward Ye against her will.
Despite her smile, she was still peeved.
“Nan Feng, this is for you,” Ye handed her the bundle.
“What is it?” Nan Feng asked.
Without answering, Ye’s face had a ‘you’ll-know-when-you-open-it’ look.
Thus, Nan Feng opened the package.
It was a parcel wrapped in a blue coarse cloth.
Opening it revealed a pink silk cloth, and inside that was a beautifully carved wooden box.
By this point, Nan Feng’s heart was pounding.
Ye was giving her a gift.
She opened the box and was stunned.
Inside was a white jade hairpin, simple yet dignified, with a polished and luminous surface.
“This…” Nan Feng’s face flushed all the way to the base of her neck.
Luckily, she had several spots on her face and Ye might not notice.
In her previous life, she was a great beauty who received many gifts.
But she had never felt her heart flutter this way upon receiving one.
“This…where did you buy this?
It looks quite valuable,” Nan Feng murmured.
Ye’s explanation was rather breezy, “I was in the county town for some work a few days ago and happened to pass by a jewelry store that was selling at a loss.
I thought this hairpin was incredibly beautiful and suited you perfectly, so I bought it.”
