As Lin Fan finished placing a large pile of grain, along with a piece of beast meat weighing several pounds, into the storage room.
Zhang Yan gradually regained consciousness from her dazed state!
Especially when she thought back to what Zhang Lao San had secretly told her, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
“Yan Jie, what’s wrong with you...”
Seeing Zhang Yan’s increasingly reddening eyes, Lin Fan was at a loss for words and didn’t know what to say.
Under Lin Fan’s gaze, especially when she saw his slightly flustered expression.
Zhang Yan, who had been feeling emotional with her eyes red, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
“Thank you, Xiao Fan...”
Without further ado, Zhang Yan patted her chest and said, “From now on, I’ll be responsible for your three meals a day...”
As Zhang Yan spoke, her chest heaved slightly, and Lin Fan instinctively swallowed.
Only after Zhang Yan noticed his strange behavior and a blush appeared on her face did Lin Fan finally come to his senses.
“Yan Jie, please tidy up. I’m going to go around the village to familiarize myself with the surroundings...”
Lin Fan left these words behind and, before Zhang Yan could speak, turned and ran out of the courtyard as if he was running for his life.
“Hehe...”
Seeing Lin Fan’s shy appearance, Zhang Yan couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
As she watched Lin Fan’s figure disappear from sight, Zhang Yan couldn’t help but feel a bit tipsy.
After a long while, she finally came to her senses and mumbled to herself, “Xiao Fan...”
At this moment, Zhang Yan seemed to have thought of something, and a blush appeared on her face.
However, after regaining consciousness, Zhang Yan couldn’t help but feel a hint of hesitation in her eyes, as if she was afraid of something.
This hesitation made her unable to make a final decision!
However, what Zhang Yan didn’t know was that this worry of hers would later give Lin Fan a huge surprise.
Turning her gaze to the fleeing Lin Fan, she saw that he first took a walk around the village.
Every time he encountered a villager, he would actively greet them, a perfect example of blending into the local culture, showing no trace of the arrogance of other educated youths.
Faced with Lin Fan’s attitude, these villagers couldn’t help but develop a fondness for Lin Fan, this educated youth.
When Lin Fan reached a corner, he glanced around and, confirming that no one else was around, he immediately took out two bottles of Erguotou and a piece of beast meat weighing about two pounds from his storage space.
A few minutes later, Lin Fan arrived at the courtyard of the village head of Koushan Village, the same Zhang Lao San.
“Uncle San, Uncle San, are you home...”
Lin Fan knocked on the courtyard door before calling out.
“Coming, coming...”
Hearing the commotion outside the courtyard, Zhang Lao San, wearing a cotton coat, stepped out of the house.
When he saw Lin Fan outside the courtyard, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
“Lin kid, what’s the matter...”
For a moment, Zhang Lao San couldn’t help but wonder if Lin Fan had some complaints about Zhang Yan and had come to his door.
Although he was puzzled, Zhang Lao San’s actions were swift. He walked over to the door and opened it for Lin Fan.
“Uncle San, this is Erguotou I brought from Beijing. Let’s have a drink together today...”
Before Zhang Lao San could refuse, Lin Fan, as if he was already familiar with him, pulled Zhang Lao San towards the house.
“You little rascal, just spit it out...”
Seeing Lin Fan’s extremely charming demeanor, Zhang Lao San could neither refuse nor agree, so he simply chuckled and scolded him.
Entering the house, an older lady, who looked to be about the same age as Zhang Lao San, couldn’t help but turn her gaze towards the two of them and said:
“Old man, who is this...”
“This kid’s name is Lin Fan, a newly arrived educated youth from Beijing. He’s temporarily renting a room at Yan’er’s...”
“Lin kid, this is your aunt...”
In response to his wife’s question, Zhang Lao San didn’t hide anything and simply introduced them to each other.
Lin Fan greeted her and then handed the piece of beast meat to her, saying:
“Auntie, sorry for disturbing you. Please handle this. I’ll have a drink with Uncle San...”
Looking at the beast meat Lin Fan handed her, Zhang Lao San’s wife didn’t reach out to take it, but instead looked at Zhang Lao San.
“I think this kid must have something to say. Old lady, go prepare some peanuts. I’ll have a drink with this kid today...”
With Zhang Lao San’s nod, his wife took the beast meat and, with a nod, went into the kitchen.
“Old man, I’ll borrow your flowers to offer to Buddha. I haven’t tasted Erguotou for a long time...”
As he spoke, Zhang Lao San picked up a bottle of Erguotou and poured a cup for himself and Lin Fan.
“Sss… This Erguotou is still so flavorful...”
“Go ahead, what do you need from me, kid...”
After taking a sip of Erguotou, Zhang Lao San looked Lin Fan up and down before speaking seriously.
