Chapter 331 Delicate Emotions
Glancing at Leng Yu Yan, Ye Yiheng’s lips subtly curled into a smile as he turned his head and followed the old uncle toward the mountains.
"Old uncle, why is the firewood shed located on the mountainside?"
"Well, for one, it’s convenient for chopping firewood. If we chop too much, we can just leave it there; secondly, we don’t want to pile it up in the room you’re currently staying in. If we pile it in the yard, I’m worried about it getting wet in the rain, not to mention the possibility of bad people hiding behind the woodpile..."
The old uncle settled the carrying pole on his shoulders and pointed to the snow-covered mountain path, "Moreover, this road is pretty convenient to walk on, just a bit more difficult with the snowfall today."
Ye Yiheng nodded, following the old uncle with one foot sinking deeper than the other.
Along the way, the old uncle seemed to open up a box of chatter, "You and your little wife haven’t been married for long, have you?"
Ye Yiheng followed up on his remark, "You can tell?"
"Yes, there’s tenderness between you but not enough closeness, you’re both rather restrained. I can tell right away that you’re newlyweds." The old uncle chuckled shyly, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepening, "Back when I married my old lady, I didn’t understand much either. Funny thing is, I was ten years older than her but had no idea how to take care of her, so I made many blunders."
Ye Yiheng asked in surprise, "Old uncle, you’re ten years older than Auntie?"
"Indeed, so after we got married, I figured since I’m that much older I ought to treat her well, but sometimes I applied the wrong effort."
