Li Huan cleaned up and returned to the room. At a glance, she saw Cheng Qiao leaning on the wall of the kang, reading a book. The dim oil lamp flickered slightly, giving Cheng Qiao's white and tender face a hazy halo, which was sacred and alluring.
"daughter in law……"
Li Huan couldn't help but leaned closer. Cheng Qiao turned his head slightly, but his eyes were still staring at the book. Li Huan tried his best to restrain his heart, kissed Cheng Qiao, and fell asleep hugging the quilt.
Cheng Qiao's eyes rolled around, sparkling, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly. She didn't know what her man was thinking, but she had to exercise restraint no matter what in the past two days.
The Song of Soup is not difficult to memorize, and Cheng Qiao has a very good memory after rebirth. After reading it from beginning to end, all the contents have been deeply engraved in her mind.
When Wan Lai was silent, Cheng Qiao entered the space and saw at a glance the red-headed viper lying next to the wild ginseng, sleeping soundly. She did not disturb it, but instead checked the crops she had planted.
Whether it is rice, wheat, corn or other crops, the growth rate seems to be the same, and there are no different growth rates due to different types.
Cheng Qiao was happy. In this way, she no longer had to harvest the grain in batches. She also decided that when these crops matured, half of the black land would be set aside to grow herbs. She could use whatever herbs she needed in the future.
Can be picked at any time.
After inspecting the outside space, Cheng Qiao entered the grocery store. If Uncle Ye is willing to accept the couple as his apprentice, he must have a share of the apprenticeship ceremony.
After walking around the grocery store, I finally decided that it would be better to start with food. Fifty pounds of rice, fifty pounds of flour, two pieces of pork, two pieces of fish, plus some snacks, candies, tea and wine. These gifts are heavy enough.
I found a backpack, put everything in it, went to the lounge to take a shower, put on a new set of cotton sweaters and pants, then walked out of the space, hugged Li Huan's waist and slowly fell asleep.
Li Huan had been pretending to sleep. He felt Cheng Qiao's soft body pressing against his back and her little hands were still on his waist. He couldn't help but cursed the little devil in his mind, but he still pretended to be asleep.
Cheng Qiao, who was rubbing the heat from Li Huan's body, quickly fell asleep. At this time, Li Huan dared to turn over carefully, put Cheng Qiao in his arms, patted his little brother, and went to sleep.
There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, Li Huan had breakfast and started to recite the book. When he learned that his wife had memorized the Soup Song by heart within an hour, the pressure increased immensely.
"Mom, you pack up today, we will move in two days, and I am going to the county town to buy some meat to make bacon and meat sauce."
"You kid, don't you still have a piece of bacon at home? It's enough for the Chinese New Year this year."
"It's not enough. I heard from Li Huan that my eldest brother is coming back for the Chinese New Year this year. He hasn't been back for many years. I have to make good preparations for his return this time."
When Mother Li heard Cheng Qiao's words, her eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth were raised to the corners of her eyes. She hurried into her room and took out a homespun bag.
"Coincidentally, here is the money saved by my mother. Among it are the money given to me by Li Bing (eldest brother), the money given by Li Huan, and the money Li Le saved from working. I have put them all together. In the future... when Lele gets married, the money will be divided.
For you guys."
"Mom, I don't want it, just give it to Lele. When a girl gets married, she always has to leave some money with her. A larger dowry will help Lele to be tougher in her husband's family."
Li Le retracted his feet when he was about to go out, and felt very warm in his heart. The second sister-in-law was right, her dowry was so large, and the second brother looked at her as if he was protecting her.
"Cheng Qiao, Lele is blessed with such a good sister-in-law. I just don't know if Li Bing will take the girl home this time."
"Mom wants to marry a daughter-in-law again, right? After we move there, we will renovate your and Lele's house. Then brother and the others will have a place to live when they come back, right?"
"Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you. Qiao, you take ten dollars first. Mom doesn't have a ticket here, so you can buy it if you don't have one. Don't go to that place to buy anything, you know?"
"Hey, I'm leaving, mother."
Cheng Qiao didn't ask for Li's mother's money, so she got on her bicycle and headed to the county town. Along the way, she saw many people running to Chen Weimin's house. After asking, she found out that today was actually a good day for Chen Chunhua to get married.
Cheng Qiao rode her bicycle to a remote corner, then put it into the space, and quickly arrived at the door of Chen Weimin's house. She wanted to see Chen Chunhua get married with her own eyes.
"Are you happy?"
As soon as Cheng Qiao stood up, a cold voice appeared in his ear. He turned around and saw that it was Miao Qing. Miao Qing stared at Cheng Qiao's face fiercely, wondering why this vixen was getting more and more beautiful.
"Well, it's always nice when someone gets married. Otherwise, what will happen if all the little girls in Xiangyang Village become old maids?"
Cheng Qiao replied without any politeness that Miao Qing was almost twenty years old and was a constant problem in Xiangyang Village.
She is not like those female educated youths in the educated youth spots. It doesn't matter how old they are or whether they want to get married, because they want to go back to the city.
Miao Qing gritted her teeth. She also knew that people in the same village always looked at her with something strange in their eyes, but what the heck, of course she would not marry without a good man.
"I'm not like some people who marry a scoundrel who is accustomed to cheating, sneaking, and scoundrels. Just wait, you will suffer a lot in the future."
In Miao Qing's mind, he recalled the way Li Le pushed the trolley hard with a flushed face at a young age, and the way Li's mother couldn't straighten up when she was overworked, and a smile appeared on her face.
Cheng Qiao will do the same in the future.
"I don't need you to worry about it. You should worry about yourself. You don't have to look at how old you are. There are wrinkles at the corners of your eyes. You still have time to worry about others."
Miao Qing subconsciously touched the corners of his eyes. Cheng Qiao took out a small round mirror from his pocket and stuffed it into Miao Qing's hand:
"Here, I'll give it to you. Look in the mirror more often when you have time. Feeling too good about yourself is also a disease."
The joy that had just risen in Miao Qing's heart was completely extinguished by Cheng Qiao's words. Although she wanted to smash the mirror in her hand, she couldn't bear it. This was the first time she had owned one in twenty years.
Your own mirror.
I looked around and saw that everyone turned their heads in disbelief, so I quickly picked up the mirror and took a look. It was better not to take a look, but this look made Miao Qing almost angry to death.
When did her face become so rough? There are really several wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Although they are not deep, they will not fade away if they exist.
Why is it that Cheng Qiao is already married, but her face is still so white and tender? She is still a young girl, but her face already looks like that of an aunt. The overwhelming good feeling in Miao Qing's heart suddenly collapsed.
