When Zhang Yongfeng heard this, he hurriedly tried to hand Dai Ning out of his arms.
Daning was so angry.
She grabbed Yongfeng's collar and refused to go into Zhao Yu's arms: "I don't want him!"
Zhang Yongfeng only listened to her. Hearing this, he said to Zhao Yu embarrassedly, "I'd better take Miss to see a doctor."
Zhao Yu looks at Dai Ning.
She had a messy head of long curly hair and was playing with the buttons of Zhang Yongfeng's shirt.
Zhao Yu calmly stepped aside, and Zhang Yongfeng hurriedly left with the eldest daughter in his arms.
Zhao Yu looked at their backs and once again understood what kind of person Ji Daining was. She never cared who was holding her, as long as that person pleased her and would make her happy.
One moment he could be so sweet and say he was the best, and the next moment he could turn against him and ignore him.
Zhao Yu walked back under the colorful sunset with an expressionless face.
Zhao Anan saw him coming back alone and asked him, "Brother, where is Miss Ji?"
Zhao Yu patted his little sister's head without saying a word.
Dai Ning was unwilling to see the wretched-looking Doctor Sun. She couldn't stand the thought of having her feet touched by the old man, so she stayed at the village chief's house until Uncle Qian came back.
When Uncle Qian came back, he saw this scene: the village chief and his family, like his grandson, were looking towards the new house with trepidation.
Zhang Yongfeng was so anxious that he scratched his head. He knew he had not taken good care of his children, and when he saw Uncle Qian, it was like a life-saving straw.
Uncle Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing the whole story. This, this is too unlucky.
He walked over to take a look and saw a bulge in the quilt: "Miss, I'm back. Come, let me check your injury."
A wronged and angry face appeared and complained to him: "Uncle Qian, it's all Chen Xiaoli, Zhang Yongfeng and Zhao Yu's fault."
Now she remembered to exclude Uncle Qian.
Uncle Qian held back his laughter, cleaned her wound, and then covered it with a beautiful Band-Aid.
"Uncle Qian, you are amazing. It doesn't hurt at all."
Although she has a bad temper and is arrogant and domineering, she can be very sweet-spoken and endearing.
Uncle Qian didn't mention the matter of teaching her to go out and play. He talked about Mr. Ji: "Your grandfather asked when you will come home? Summer vacation is almost over, and school will start in a few days. Miss, we should go."
Dai Ning almost forgot about this. She had already graduated from college when she died in her previous life, but now she is still a student who is about to enter her senior year of high school.
Dai Ning covered herself with the quilt and said, "I don't want to go back to school. School is so boring. I have a university to go to anyway. There's no need to waste time."
Uncle Qian patted the ball gently.
"Miss, listen to me. Young Master Ji has gone back to school. Think about it carefully. Uncle Qian will go and prepare some things. We will go back in a few days."
In the sea of consciousness, Qingtuan was like a worried old nanny.
"Daining, we can't go back. Du Tian is still here. You haven't completed your mission yet, and it's hard to control the follow-up. If Zhao Yu falls in love with Du Tian, Du Tian's luck will be added to her, and it will be even more difficult to deal with her in the future. You have already made an enemy of the heroine. Even if she doesn't tell you in the future, the luck boy who falls in love with her will do everything he can to eliminate you."
Daning understood the truth, but what should she do
Zhao Yu is already a mature and lucky man. Can't he be more sensible and stay away from Du Tian
"I can't kill them. I can't possibly guard Zhao Yu forever, right?" She refused, and her grandfather couldn't wait any longer. By then, the old man would be worried and would probably come directly to the small village to capture her.
Qingtuan coughed twice and gave some suggestions.
"Daining, since you don't have the patience to ruin their development, why don't you make Zhao Yu fall in love with you?"
Dai Ning sat up from the bed, she was half-believing and half-doubting: "Is it really possible? Let's not talk about whether he likes me or not, what if he changes his mind later?"
Qingtuan was speechless: "He is a lucky guy, not a scumbag."
If the feelings are not pure, I will not be so sincere to the future Du Tian.
Thinking about it this way, Dai Ning felt that this was a good idea. She rubbed her hair and said, "I'm so angry. If I had known earlier, I would have let Zhao Yu carry me back."
Dai Ning shouted outside: "Uncle Qian, I want to go back to sleep!"
Uncle Qian was used to the eldest lady's changing ideas, so he asked someone to send her back to Zhao Yu's home.
Dai Ning was almost gone when she remembered something and said quickly, "Uncle Qian! Come closer with your ear."
The eldest lady ordered with a smirk.
Uncle Qian looked conflicted: "This is not good."
"Who told her to do such evil things?"
—
That evening, Chen Xiaoli almost collapsed. She was driven into the village chief's pigpen and spent an hour with a group of smelly pigs!
Zhang Yongfeng was supervising the workers outside in a strict manner.
This man is a stubborn person. Even if Chen Xiaoli wants to run out, he will throw her in. Chen Xiaoli screamed and said, "I said it was not intentional. Ji Daining got hurt by herself. Why blame me?"
However, no one paid any attention to her, only the piglets were frightened by her and made sharp screams.
Zhang Yongfeng kindly advised her: "Don't make any noise, and the piglets won't run around."
This will also enable humans and animals to coexist peacefully.
When Chen Xiaoli heard this, she became even more angry and almost fainted!
On the other side, the sun sets.
Zhao Yu took advantage of his free time to heat up some water and wipe his father's body.
He came out with water and the eldest lady just came back.
Dai Ning hesitated whether to continue to be angry, looked at Zhao Yu, and then quickly turned away. She said to Qing Tuan: "I think he likes Du Tian more than me. Look, he doesn't look happy when he sees me."
Zhao Yu poured out the water and ignored her.
Autumn is coming, and he can't wait to implement his previous plan to leave the mountains, as he has a lot of things to do in the near future.
Dai Ning lay on the bed and thought, forget it, I'll do today's work tomorrow and think about it tomorrow.
Before Zhao Yu fell asleep, he saw a red pomegranate left on the table. He was silent for a long time, picked it up, and knocked on the eldest lady's door.
Dai Ning was reading a melodramatic novel about wealthy families. When she heard the noise, she hopped over on one foot to open the door.
Under the moonlight, the boy's eyes were cold and he stretched out his hand: "This is for you."
Daning blinked and took the pomegranate.
Zhao Yu turned around and was about to leave.
Dai Ning looked at his back thoughtfully, and suddenly found it interesting. She said, "Zhao Yu, help me peel it."
Zhao Yu paused and said, "Do it yourself."
"I don't have a knife, so I can't peel it." She jumped out, stuffed the pomegranate into his hand, and said generously, "Open it and I'll give you half."
Zhao Yu glanced at her.
She is thick-skinned and has no shame at all.
But it is quite rare for a young lady to take the initiative to share things with others.
Zhao Yu went to the kitchen to cut the pomegranate and brought it back to her. He did not take the other half for himself. Zhao Yu looked tired and planned to go back to sleep.
Dai Ning said pitifully, "Zhao Yu, Uncle Qian said today that we have to go back. I'm about to start school. Look, I can't stay at your house for a few days. Don't be so cold."
In the moonlight, he turned his head.
Dai Ning thought he was angry because she kicked him in the morning, so she didn't mention it, and she didn't plan to apologize to Zhao Yu. She said, "If you treat me better, maybe I can help you think of a way to treat your parents."
Zhao Yu looked at her for a long time with a puzzled expression, but did not deny her answer and asked her, "When are you leaving?"
"I don't know either. School starts in September."
And now, it is already late August, and there are only ten days left at most.
He said nothing, made no reply, and went back into the house.
Dai Ning stared at his indifferent back, stunned.
Qingtuan held back his laughter. It was rare to see the eldest lady being humiliated. Maybe it was because she was usually too mean. Now that she said she was leaving, Zhao Yu didn't feel reluctant at all.
Dai Ning was upset for a while, but she didn't feel upset for long, and continued to read the domineering CEO novel. She didn't plan to do anything with Zhao Yu. From the beginning, she was just trying to destroy the relationship between Zhao Yu and Du Tian. She didn't care about her image in Zhao Yu's heart, so it was normal for him to dislike her.

The next day, the Zhao family started to peel corn.
In Xinghua Village, people still peel corn using traditional methods, either by hand or with the soles of shoes. The soles of cloth shoes are turned upside down on a small wooden stool, and the corn is ground on top.
Ordinary people, if they work together, can grind out several hundred kilograms in half a day.
Zhao Yu's family is short of labor, so this time even six-year-old Zhao Anan has to go into battle. Although she is young, she is very capable in doing farm work.
Daning came out to see, and found a small pile of corn kernels next to the little girl, with nearly twenty corn cobs.
Seeing Dai Ning jumping around to watch, Zhao Yu took a stool from behind for her to sit on.
Dai Ning propped up her chin and watched Zhao Anan grinding corn.
Zhao Anan asked shyly: "Miss, do you want to try it?"
Daning said, “Okay.”
She thought it was magical, could the soles of shoes be used like this? Dai Ning imitated Zhao Anan and rubbed it a few times. The corn rolled unobediently on the soles, and almost no corn fell off.
Zhao Ping lowered his head and laughed secretly, the young lady was so magical.
Zhao Anan said: "That's not the case, Miss. My brother said we can't do it this way. You have to do it this way."
With the help of the little boy, Dai Ning finished grinding half a corn.
Daning had a foot injury and couldn't go out to play, so she thought playing with corn was quite interesting.
She occupied Zhao Anan's seat, but after only one and a half hours, she began to lose interest and gradually became lazy.
Her hand hurts.
Dai Ning blew on her palms: "I'm not coming, Zhao Anan, you come by yourself."
"oh."
Zhao Yu looked over and saw that the young lady's soft palms were red. He had expected this to happen. Even Zhao Anan, who was only six years old, had dry and rough hands. Only Ji Daining's hands were white and tender.
Dai Ning sat next to him and asked him, "Zhao Yu, haven't you been visiting Du Tian's mother recently?"
Zhao Yu lowered his eyes: "What should I do? Du Tian is taking care of her in the hospital."
She became happy: "Then take me to the mountains to play. I have never been to the mountains before."
It was midsummer when Dai Ning came to Xinghua Village. She didn't want to go out because of the hot weather. Now that the weather has turned cooler, it is especially suitable for traveling.
Zhao Yu glanced at her foot covered with a cartoon band-aid and said, "Your foot is injured, don't think about running around. Besides, you can see that I'm busy and don't have time to play with you."
Daning was rejected, she knew that this man was unyielding.
Just as he was about to cheat, Zhao Anan next to him suddenly said, "Second brother, there is a cornworm over there."
"where?"
"On the ground."
The place where Zhao Anan pointed was not far from Dai Ning.
Dai Ning looked back and saw the worms crawling on the ground. Her face changed drastically. Her stomach churned and she stepped back with the stool.
Zhao Ping habitually took a bottle to catch insects.
Children in rural areas are not afraid of these. For the chickens at home, they are nutritious food.
There were already more than ten bugs in the bottle. Daning only took one look at the scene and felt uncomfortable all over.
A very light sigh came from behind. Zhao Yu wiped his hands and covered her eyes.
Dai Ning couldn't see anything, so naturally she couldn't see the two silly brothers and sisters catching insects.
Zhao Yu picked up Dai Ning horizontally and took her out.
He carried Daning back to her room and put her on the bed. The young lady looked at him with wet eyes and aggrieved look.
Zhao Yu said, "Don't run around, stay in your room. An An and Zhao Ping didn't do it on purpose, they don't know you're afraid of bugs."
She buried her cheek in the soft quilt. This time she didn't act coquettishly or complain. It was really disgusting to think that the drama suddenly became so little.
Zhao Yu remembered her words that she would leave soon, and after a long while, he said, "I'll make you a swing to play with in the evening, and I'll accompany you to the mountain in a few days."
After he finished speaking, he pushed the door open and went to continue working next door with Zhao Ping and the others.
Zhao Yu had been gone for a long time. Qingtuan rolled his eyes and said, "He's really gone. Stop pretending."
A smiling little face appeared from under the quilt.
Qingtuan felt that the male protagonist was really miserable as he was actually played around by such a bad woman.
Dai Ning is afraid of insects, but the little witch is very strong. As long as she can't see the insects and they are not close to her, she will be alive and kicking again in no time.
Dai Ning took out her phone to play. She lay on the bed, her legs dangling as she sighed, "Zhao Ping is so disgusting."
He actually caught insects with his hands.
Qingtuan felt extremely sad.
—
Zhao Yu packed up the peeled corn and did not continue working that night. He took out the saw and plane that had not been used for a long time at home, as well as the chisel needed for solid wood mortise and tenon joints, and started to do carpentry work.
He was very skillful with his hands, and the wood chips flew everywhere. Soon, the wood became smooth and flat.
Zhao Yu carefully polished the uneven small thorns around the wood several times, and began to drill holes to tie ropes.
Zhao Ping came out and urged him, "Brother, it's time to go to bed."
"You go first, I'll be ready soon."
Zhao Yu worked alone with a light on until very late.
Dai Ning was in the room, occasionally looking through the window at the man in the yard. She had figured out something, and her expression was a little subtle.
People who are attracted to someone for the first time inevitably look a little stupid.
Even though Zhao Yu has always been calm and composed, some things in him have quietly changed.
Daning curled her eyes, it was really interesting. She hadn't even started doing anything yet.
Dai Ning didn't care about Zhao Yu. When the time came, she went to bed by herself.
The next day, when Daning got up, she found a wooden swing hanging under the old walnut tree in the yard.
It is beautifully crafted and sways gently in the morning breeze.
Daning was very happy.
She dug out some cushions and silk, and before the Zhao Yu family started a new day of busy work, she called out crisply, "Zhao Yu!"
Zhao Yu came to see her, and she put the cushion and purple silk in his hands.
“The mat has to be tied to the swing, and the silk has to be tangled around the rope, otherwise your hands will hurt.”
He didn't say much. The swing was already made, and he didn't mind the extra effort. He wrapped the silk around it as she instructed.
The young lady was used to enjoying herself, and the wooden swing became beautiful and soft in an instant. When she sat on it, her skirt bloomed like layers of flowers, so beautiful that it was dazzling.
Zhao Anan looked at her with a bit of envy in her eyes. The little girl was used to being sensible and didn't make a fuss about asking for it.
Zhao Yu whispered to his younger sister, "The eldest lady will be gone soon, and then I'll let you play on the swing."
Zhao Ping sighed and shook his head like a little adult. How precious the walnut tree was in the past, but he never expected that it would now just be a source of entertainment for the eldest daughter.
Two days later, the wind brought a hint of autumn, and Daining's foot injury was almost healed.
Zhao Yu agreed and took Dai Ning to the mountain to play.
