Quickly wear a life of peace

Liu Ruolan didn't take the soda. She looked at the tall man in front of her and said impatiently, "Comrade, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Qingmao scratched his head, looked at her again, and smiled shyly, "Comrade, do you work here?"

Liu Ruolan nodded: "Yes, I'm a salesperson here, what's wrong?"

Xu Qingmao quickly said: "That's great, I can come and chat with you often in the future!"

Liu Ruolan blushed and said angrily, "Who wants to chat with you?"

Xu Qingmao chuckled: "I want to talk to you, comrade, do you have a partner?"

Liu Ruolan glared at him: "Why are you asking this?"

Xu Qingmao mustered up the courage to ask, "If not, what do you think of me?"

Liu Ruolan opened her mouth in surprise, thinking that this person was too direct. "You...what do you mean?"

Xu Qingmao looked at her seriously and said, "I like you. I want you to be my partner. Do you think I can do it?"

Liu Ruolan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect this man to express his feelings so directly.

After a while, she came back to her senses and said, "Don't be ridiculous, we don't even know each other?"

Xu Qingmao hurriedly explained: "I'm not kidding, I'm sincere! I fell in love with you the first time I saw you!"

This was the first time that Liu Ruolan was confessed to so bluntly by a man, and he was a good-looking man. She lowered her head and a blush appeared on her face: "But... we don't know each other very well."

Xu Qingmao quickly said: "It's okay, we can get to know each other slowly! I promise, I will treat you well!"

Liu Ruolan raised her head and looked at his sincere eyes. She was a little shaken, but still said hesitantly: "Let me think about it."

Xu Qingmao nodded happily: "Okay, sister, you must think about it carefully!"

From that day on, Xu Qingmao would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Liu Ruolan every day, bringing her some small gifts or helping her with some work.

Liu Ruolan's reputation was not very good. Her reputation for being a hot-tempered person had spread everywhere, and almost no one came to propose marriage to her.

The Liu family used to be a butcher who specialized in slaughtering pigs. All the men in the family were strong and muscular. Later, the six of them, including the father and his sons, all went to work in the slaughterhouse.

The Liu family is dominated by men but lacks women. In three generations, there is only one daughter, Liu Ruolan, who is doted on by the whole family and has developed a fierce temper.

Xu Qingmao was strong, good-looking, had a good job, and was interested in her, taking care of her in every way. This made it difficult for Liu Ruolan, who was rarely treated gently, not to fall for him.

Gradually, the relationship between the two became closer and closer, and finally they got together.

After getting married, the couple joined forces and never suffered any loss. Instead, they made their grandparents suffer a lot.

Even the stubborn and overbearing aunt no longer dared to order her powerful younger sister around after suffering a few losses.

In the whole family, only Uncle San is always rude to the Second Branch’s family.

But if grandma coaxes her, she won't bother the second wife.

The Liu family loves their daughter and they are also capable of supporting themselves, so Liu Ruolan did not suffer any setbacks during the confinement period. She ate well and had plenty of milk, and Duoduo was also raised to be plump.

Even his brother Xu Jianbin, who is three years older than him, has become a little fat boy because of eating too much.

During this period, the Xu family was quite noisy, especially the younger ones.

I smell the meat coming from the second room every day, but I can smell it but can't eat it, and I'm almost dying of greed.

Grandma and the eldest aunt did mention to Xu Qingmao that they should let Liu Ruolan drink the soup and pick out the meat to share with the family.

Xu Qingmao would certainly not agree, and he immediately retorted, "Why can't my wife eat this meat? Did you pay for it? Did you work hard? These were specially brought by my wife's family to nourish her body. How dare you ask for it? If you want to eat it, just kill an old hen in the backyard. After all, my daughter's surname is Xu, and we can't just not contribute anything, right?"

Grandma was immediately unhappy, "A little girl, is it necessary for her to eat so well? Besides, my wife has several eggs a day, but they are all provided by our family."

Xu Qingmao rolled his eyes and said rudely, "What's wrong with a little girl? She is also my child, I am happy to give her good food. You are also little girls, so don't eat anything good in the future!"

After saying that, he brought the stewed pig's trotters into the room. The whole family ate with relish, making smacking sounds, deliberately trying to annoy the people outside.

Especially the two children from my uncle's family, they were crying because of their greed.

The next day, Xu Qingmao killed an old hen at home and stewed it in a pot.

However, this time he didn't bring all of it back to the room. He left half of it in the pot and only picked out the good parts such as the two chicken wings, chicken legs, and chicken breast.

Grandma smelled the chicken and trotted home. When she saw the chicken feathers all over the floor, she was so angry that she almost fainted. She opened her mouth to curse, but Xu Qingmao, who was going out to get the dishes, stared at her and she couldn't say anything.

He was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet. With tears in his eyes, he scooped out all the chicken soup in the pot and hid it away.

A nosy neighbor came over and asked, "Sister-in-law Xu, you are so good to your daughter-in-law! She gives her meat and fish every day, and today she even killed a chicken. Wow, it's a blessing to be your daughter-in-law."

The old lady looked grim, but she still managed a smile, "Look at what you said, giving birth is like going through the gates of hell, so shouldn't you take good care of yourself?"

The neighbor curled her lips and said, "Sister-in-law Xu, you really love your daughter-in-law. You gave birth to a girl and fed her so well. If I were you, cooking two bowls of millet porridge would be good enough."

The old lady agreed in her heart and thought so too, but the second son was a gangster and didn't listen to her at all.

He said a few perfunctory words, sent the person away, and went back to his room to shut himself in.

When everyone came back from get off work or school, the smell of chicken soup was still in the house, and everyone couldn't help swallowing.

When he saw the bowl of chicken soup on the table, his eyes widened and Xu Jianguo shouted, "Oh, we're having meat today, oh, we're having meat today!"

The old lady was so angry that she didn't care that this was her most beloved grandson. She glared at him fiercely. Then she distributed the food to everyone. Each person only had half a bowl of chicken soup with only a piece of chicken in it.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the meat inside was not good, and there was not even a chicken leg.

The old man looked at his wife in confusion. Usually, the chicken legs were given one each to the youngest son and the eldest grandson. How come there were none here?

The old lady pursed her lips unhappily and said, "This chicken was killed by the second son, and he picked out all the good meat."

The old man frowned and slammed his chopsticks onto the table. "This is outrageous. The second son is really going too far."

Xu Qingsheng also frowned, thinking that his second brother was really being unreasonable.
