Chapter 67 Sour and Sweet

  Ji Zhao blinked curiously.

  When she walked into the courtyard gate, she saw Shen Yao in the crowd at a glance.

   Shen Yao, dressed in blue, is quietly recording the snail catties sent by the villagers.

  The warm sunshine shone on his body, softening his whole body.

   And he seemed to have noticed Ji Zhao's gaze, and the moment he raised his eyes, he accurately caught Ji Zhao's obsessed gaze.

  Shen Yao subconsciously smiled at her.

  At this moment, Ji Zhao felt his heart stopped beating.

"If you like someone, you will feel your heart beating non-stop, you will not only want to attract his attention, but also feel afraid of his attention, that kind of entangled emotion, Like candied haws wrapped in honey, sour and sweet."

  At this moment, this sentence suddenly appeared in Ji Zhao's mind.

  She couldn't remember where this passage came from, but she felt that she was really moved.

   Could it be that she really likes Shen Yao?

   No, it's not.

  She simply felt that his smile was very kind, gentle and beautiful, that's all.

  Ji Zhao pinched her palm hard, and the moment the pain hit, she finally woke up.

  Just at this moment, she has unknowingly walked in front of Shen Yao.

   "There is the sweet bean curd made by the second sister-in-law in the main room, do you want to try it?" Shen Yao looked into her eyes gently and asked softly.

   "Okay...okay!"

  Ji Zhao nodded hastily, and then ran away in a hurry like a frightened little rabbit.

  At this moment, the smile in Shen Yao's eyes deepened.

   Near noon, Shen Yao finally counted all the snails.

"A total of 80 catties of snails were collected, and the purchase price per catty was 5 Wen, and the total was 400 Wen. After excluding the cost, we should be able to earn about 380 Wen." Shen Yao calculated it. The account was handed over to Ji Zhao, and he couldn't help but smile, "But the snails in the river in our Shanghe Village should have been almost picked up."

   "How about this, after lunch, the third child will accompany A Tao to the county seat." Zhao Lanhua immediately made a decision, "I have to get Chen Chen's clothes out this afternoon."

   "Thank you, mother!" Ji Zhao was very grateful and thanked again and again.

   "Stupid girl, what does the family want to thank?" Zhao Lanhua glanced at her angrily, "Isn't the third child going to the bookstore? I can rest assured if you go together."

  Ji Zhao glanced at Shen Yao worriedly. After all, Shen Yao had inconvenient legs and feet, "Mom, I'm actually alone..."

   "I listen to mother." Shen Yao interrupted her, and picked up a piece of ribs and put them in the bowl in front of her, "Braised ribs in brown sauce is one of mother's specialty dishes, try it while it's hot."

"…it is good."

  Ji Zhao had no choice but to swallow the phrase 'Alone can do it', then lowered his head and concentrated on gnawing on the ribs.

  Unfortunately, the weather is not good.

  When Shen Yao brought Ji Zhao to the county seat, a thunder suddenly sounded from the sky.

  The cloudless sky was suddenly overcast, and the entire Dingyuan County was shrouded in a gloomy gray.

  Shen Yao made a quick decision, grabbed Ji Zhao's hand and ran to Shen Ji Bakery.

  When the two stepped into the pastry shop with their front feet, it rained heavily from the sky with their back feet!

   Bean-sized raindrops hit the eaves with a bang.

   "Third brother, third sibling, why are you here? Did you get wet?"
