Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 718: Repairing the Ancestral Hall

 And it was put forward so straightforwardly.

Su Mulan felt that she might need some time to digest it.

“That’s what, it’s about this...” Su Mulan’s cheeks were a little hot, he was hesitant to speak, and his hands twisted the corner of his apron uneasily.

This look fell in Bai Shitang's eyes, making his heart tense.

 Perhaps, that's what she thought...

 In other words, she also likes him, has him in her heart, and wants to be with him and become a real couple.

Bai Shitang felt that his heart seemed to be clenched into a ball, beating suddenly, and the smile at the corner of his mouth spread unconsciously. He reached out and grabbed Su Mulan's hand and squeezed it tightly.

 A pair of eyes, staring straight at Su Mulan, the light in the eyes is full of tenderness.

Su Mulan was caught off guard and was startled by Bai Shitang.

But she did not object to this move from her heart. She just let Bai Shitang hold her hand like this and let his fingertips gently rub the back of her hand.

Bai Shitang's palms were wide, and his fingers were long and powerful. Su Mulan could feel the thin calluses on his fingertips and the edges of his palms, but there was no tingling sensation. He could only feel the warmth coming from his palms.

With Bai Shitang holding his hand like this, Su Mulan felt inexplicably very peaceful.

"that…"

Sumolan’s face turned into an apple.

"Um."

Bai Shitang responded, and the light in his eyes became more and more burning.

Su Mulan was so burned that she didn't dare to look up.

"Mom, we are back..." Bai Shuiliu led the other three children and jumped into the yard.

 Bai Shitang and Su Mulan hurriedly let go of their hands as if they were electrocuted. However, no matter how fast they were, they were watched by the children, and they suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"You're back?" Su Mulan wiped her hands with her apron a little awkwardly, and did not look at the children. She just said, "Hurry up and wash your hands, tidy up, and get ready to eat. The steamer noodles are also ready."

The four children were no longer very young. When they saw this scene, they didn’t say anything. They just looked at each other, agreed with a smile, and went to the water tank to scoop water and wash their hands.

Bai Shitang lowered his head and went into the kitchen to help Su Mulan prepare the noodles.

Because they had just been bumped into by the children, Su Mulan and Bai Shitang were both a little embarrassed at the moment, but they were still adults after all, and after living together for so long, they quickly returned to normal, just eating. Lunch.

 After lunch, Su Mulan was busy sewing a new bedding for Bai Shuiliu.

Bai Kangyuan and Bai Jinbei called Baishitang to discuss the renovation of the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall in the village needs to be renovated every few years to show respect for the ancestors and to allow the spirits of the ancestors in heaven to protect future generations.

 This is a very important matter in the village and needs to be done with caution.

He also consulted with several highly respected people in the clan and decided to seize the time to do this before the wheat harvest.

 Bai Kangyuan sorted out the general matters and assigned different tasks to everyone.

In Bai Jinbei, the gang buys all kinds of bricks, tiles, wood, etc. In Baishitang, they need to go to the county town to buy some things like incense and candles. Bai Kangyuan is responsible for organizing people's work.

 The matter of repairing the ancestral hall was discussed until it was dark in the evening, and then they went home.

After dinner, the children played for a while and took a rest. Su Mulan also tidied up and went into his room.

Only Bai Shitang lingered in the courtyard for a long time.
