When the pears are green

After breakfast, Song Li first measured Su Mian's size for her wedding dress, and then instructed Jiang Qingzhou how to use a tape measure to measure Jiang Qingye's neck circumference, length of clothes, etc.

Su Mian looked at the data written on the mulberry paper and said to Song Li, who was rolling up the tape measure, with some embarrassment: "Sister-in-law, I can only sew, not cut."

Song Li looked up and comforted Su Mian: "It's okay, I'll cut it and we'll sew it together. In fact, the cloth shop in town also sells wedding dresses, but after all, it's not as meaningful as making it yourself."

Su Mian nodded repeatedly, and then wanted to find Jiang Qingye to go to the cloth shop to buy the cloth needed for the wedding dress.

Song Li hurriedly stopped Su Mian and said, "How can I let a girl like you go to buy it? Qingzhou will go to the restaurant to deliver goods in a while, so just ask him to buy one when he passes by the cloth shop."

"But..." Su Mian felt embarrassed. After all, this was her marriage with Jiang Qingye, and she couldn't let Song Li and Jiang Qingzhou take care of everything.

Song Li interrupted Su Mian with a smile: "Mian Mian, your parents passed away early, and Qingye's marriage should have been taken care of by Qingzhou and me. Before we get busy, I'll let Qingye take you out for a walk and get familiar with the relatives and friends here."

Song Li then pulled Su Mian to the backyard, followed by Jiang Huan and Jiang Yao.

The brothers Jiang Qingzhou and Jiang Qingye were feeding grass to the livestock at home.

Jiang Huan took Jiang Yao's little hand and walked quickly to the straw shed, grabbed the green grass piled nearby and threw it under the shed.

Jiang Qingzhou quickly picked up Jiang Yao who was trying to stuff grass into the mule's mouth, and sternly taught the reluctant Jiang Yao: "Yaoyao, you are so close to the mule, if you get kicked, does it hurt?"

Jiang Yao pouted and said nothing.

Jiang Qingzhou then glanced at Jiang Huan who was grabbing two handfuls of grass and trying to get closer to the horse. Jiang Huan quickly threw the grass to the side of the horse that was grazing, then pulled Jiang Qingzhou's sleeve and said loudly: "It hurts, Yaoyao, if you get kicked, it will definitely hurt a lot, more than if you hit a tree."

Jiang Yao rubbed her forehead with her hand, leaned on Jiang Qingzhou's shoulder and whispered, "Dad, it hurts."

Jiang Qingzhou patted Jiang Yao on the back, then carried Jiang Yao and walked towards Song Li, Su Mian and Jiang Qingye who were talking.

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Qingzhou asked with a smile.

Jiang Qingye quickly replied: "Brother, my sister-in-law asked me to take Mianmian out for a walk. I wanted to take Mianmian to visit Sister Ruyi's house."

After hearing this, Jiang Huan held Song Li with one hand and Jiang Qingzhou with the other and begged, "Mom, Dad, I want to go too. I want to go play with Lingyi."

Song Li's head hurt after hearing this. She rubbed her temple and put forward a condition to Jiang Huan: "You can go, but you have to come back with your uncle and your aunt, understand?"

Jiang Huan raised his little face and asked, "Mom, why?"

Song Li squatted in front of Jiang Huan and answered, "Your uncle is going to the martial arts hall, and your aunt has to take care of Lingyi and Lingze at home alone, and also do the laundry and cooking. If you stay there any longer, won't you cause trouble for your aunt? Also, when you and Lingyi play, have you ever not fought?"

Jiang Huan recalled the time when he was beaten up by Chen Lingyi, and quickly nodded in agreement.

Su Mian asked Jiang Yao if she wanted to go.

Song Li quickly waved her hand and refused: "Yaoyao is young, I'm afraid that if you take her there, she will make a fuss and come back before we even get to Ruyi's house. You guys go quickly, Chen Yuan should still be at home."

Jiang Qingye and Su Mian nodded, and Jiang Huan jumped and ran in front to lead the way.

Song Li then told Jiang Qingzhou: "Qingzhou, remember to go to the cloth shop and buy a piece of red cloth when you come back. It must be top-quality cotton cloth."

Jiang Qingzhou held Song Li's hand and responded: "Well, I understand."

Jiang Qingye and Su Mian first took Jiang Huan back to the house to get the gifts.

Jiang Qingye quietly asked Su Mian who was considering what gift to get: "Mian Mian, do you want to go later?"

Su Mian turned her head and smiled and replied, "No, we will meet sooner or later. But if Fourth Brother Chen hits me, you have to help me."

Jiang Qingye scratched Su Mian's nose and said softly, "Don't worry, although I can't beat my brother-in-law, I will help you."

"Then I feel relieved. Let's go quickly." Su Mian said as she put the selected gifts into the bag and wrapped them up, then led Jiang Huan out of the courtyard gate.

Outside the gate of Chen's courtyard, Chen Yuan met Jiang Qingye, Su Mian and Jiang Huan.

Chen Yuan first stared at the black mole at the corner of Su Mian's eye, then stretched out his long fist and swung towards Su Mian.

Su Mian quickly stepped back and threw the bag in her hand towards Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan's eyes went dark and he instinctively grabbed the bag that was about to hit his face.

"My cousin's wife asked me to take the things in here. If you dare to throw them away, I will go to my cousin's wife and complain." Su Mian knew that she could not beat Chen Yuan, so she had to use Chen Shu to threaten Chen Yuan.

Jiang Qingye patted Jiang Huan on the shoulder, and Jiang Huan hurried into the Chen family to find Ruyi.

Chen Yuan had no choice but to hold the bag he wanted to throw away in his hand. At the same time, he stared at Su Mian who was hiding behind Jiang Qingye with a half-smile and mocked: "Cousin? You call me that so easily."

Su Mian stuck her head out and blew on her nails and said to Chen Yuan, "That's my cousin's wife, so it's natural for me to call her that. Don't you think so, Chen~Fourth~Brother?"

Chen Yuan was shocked by Su Mian's dragging tail tone. He rolled up his sleeves to let Jiang Qingye see the goose bumps on them.

Su Mian stood on tiptoe and covered Jiang Qingye's eyes. Jiang Qingye was afraid that Su Mian would lose her balance, so he quickly put his arms around Su Mian's waist.

Chen Yuan looked at the lovers with disgust, and couldn't help teasing Su Mian: "Didn't your cousin teach you to be reserved as a girl? If your cousin saw you like this, she would probably be mad to death."

Su Mian rolled her eyes at Chen Yuan, looked up and saw Ruyi running out in a hurry, and quickly let go of her hands that were covering Jiang Qingye's eyes and stood up.

What Chen Yuan said just now happened to be heard by Ruyi, and Ruyi slapped Chen Yuan on the back.

Chen Yuan turned around and looked at Ruyi. Ruyi glared at Chen Yuan and scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you let Qingye and Mianmian in? Didn't my elder sister write to explain it to you? What are you still angry about? I'll go to the martial arts hall to find Ping'an and ask Ping'an to lead the disciples to do horse stance first. You and Mianmian haven't seen each other for a long time. Have a good chat and don't fight again."

Chen Yuan pouted and said nothing.

Su Mian took Ruyi's arm and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Sister-in-law, Fourth Brother Chen and I won't fight again."

Chen Yuan stared at Su Mian's hand on Ruyi's arm, telling Su Mian not to go too far.

Su Mian pretended not to hear. She first put her arms around Ruyi's shoulders, then leaned over and whispered in Ruyi's ear.

Jiang Qingye quickly pulled Chen Yuan, who was about to lose his temper, aside and persuaded him: "Brother-in-law, Mianmian likes my cousin, so she is so close to her. You see, my cousin doesn't reject her either."

Chen Yuan snorted and said to Jiang Qingye meaningfully: "You are so generous. The girls who chased after her at the beginning could line up from my house to yours."

Jiang Qingye touched his nose and responded: "Brother-in-law, you also said it was at the beginning, why bother too much."

Chen Yuan felt like he had punched cotton. He felt powerless against Jiang Qingye who was trying to protect Su Mian. He then asked Jiang Qingye in a low voice, "Qingye, do you know that she is already 20 years old?"

Without waiting for Jiang Qingye to answer, Su Mian took out a pass from her bag and threw it to Chen Yuan, saying, "Brother Chen, don't talk nonsense. I'm seventeen years old, and it's clearly written on the pass."

Chen Yuan didn't catch it and the pass fell to the ground.

Jiang Qingye bent down to pick up the pass and returned it to Su Mian. He smiled and comforted the guilty Su Mian: "It doesn't matter if you are twenty or seventeen. I am eighteen. Both ages suit me very well."

Su Mian made a face at Chen Yuan smugly.

"Where is your sister-in-law?" Chen Yuan asked, turning his head aside.

Su Mian quickly replied seriously: "Fourth sister-in-law went to the martial arts hall."

Chen Yuan sighed and asked Su Mian and Jiang Qingye to follow him into the house.
