"Come, come, let's eat," Chen Lihua called out softly, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pork.

Dabao and Xiaobao waited until Xu Yan came to the table before picking up the food with chopsticks. The more Chen Lihua watched, the more she felt that they were sensible. "They are much more obedient than your little niece."

"Hmm?" Xu Yan swallowed the food in his mouth and glanced at her. "Little niece?"

Chen Lihua glared at her. "You've only been here for half a year. How come you forgot about your family?"

Heaven and earth conscience!

These were not written in the original text at all, and what’s strange is that there was no little niece in the original owner’s memory!

Xu Yan quietly recalled it again, and indeed she didn't have any, so when Chen Lihua glared at her again, she reached out and hugged her arm, "How could I have forgotten, but she is so well behaved, who knows which niece you are talking about?"

After saying that, he snorted in pretend anger, "Next time I go home, I will definitely complain."

"That's all you've got," Chen Lihua said, and continued eating.

Seeing that her mother was dealt with perfunctorily, Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

After eating and cleaning up, it was almost dark.

Li Aihua brought Xiao Shuanzi with her to return the bowl, but they did not come with empty bowls. She brought a bowl of homemade chili sauce.

"Everyone in the village says that my pickles are delicious, so I brought them over for you to try," Li Aihua said, then rubbed a corner of it sheepishly, "Please don't despise me."

"How could that be possible? My sister-in-law's pickles are famous in the village," Xu Yan took the bowl with a smile, took out two candies from his pocket and stuffed them into Xiao Shuanzi's hand, "My parents are here, let them try the special dishes of our Qingshan Brigade."

Li Aihua originally felt that it was shabby. After walking a few steps outside, she wanted to go back and pour the vegetables back into the pickle jar.

If someone brings her a bowl of delicious meat, what does it matter if she returns a bowl of vegetables?

But it didn't seem right to just take the empty bowl away.

After much thought, he had already stepped into the gate of Xie's house.

She had guessed Xu Yan's expression, but she never expected her to say that. She felt much better, as if her food was not that bad.

"Yes," Chen Lihua had been looking at Xu Yan. After hearing what she said, she smiled and continued, "Thank you for bringing it here."

Li Aihua suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

In this remote and poor place, few people come from big cities, so the villagers feel awkward when they suddenly see polite and elegant outsiders.

They have been seeing each other for a year. Now she is married to Xie Laosan and is considered a member of the Qingshan Brigade, but her mother...

"Thank you for the meat," Li Aihua tugged at the edge of her clothes, "You are worthy of being from a big city. Your cooking skills are really good."

Chen Lihua glanced at Xie Zhuo and smiled, "I think it's good too."

Li Aihua didn't notice her little action and was thinking in her heart, gosh, people in big cities are just different, they don't even show modesty when being praised.

"I heard that you came to help when Yanyan and Xie Zhuo got married a few days ago," Chen Lihua changed the subject, "Thank you so much."

"It's okay, we're all from the same village and we're still neighbors," Li Aihua said. "It's only natural for us to help each other."

When it comes to this, she becomes talkative.

He told Xie Zhuo almost everything about how he hadn't slept all night, waiting to pick up Xu Yan, and some of the things that happened on the way to pick up the bride.

Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong listened very carefully.

It was the first time that Xu Yan heard that Xie Zhuo had not slept all night. She looked at Xie Zhuo who was walking into the house. Xie Zhuo seemed to sense something and turned his head to look at her.

By the time Li Aihua left, it was completely dark. Chen Lihua took a flashlight and sent her and Xiao Shuanzi to her doorstep, just to hear more about her daughter's life in the countryside.

Upon hearing that Xu Yan fell into the water and nearly drowned, Chen Lihua clenched her hands so tightly that her knuckles turned a little white.

When I got home, I hugged Xu Yan for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yan patted Chen Lihua on the back gently.

"It's okay, my dear has suffered," Chen Lihua touched Xu Yan's face.

"Ah?" Xu Yan didn't react to her words at first.

It was not until Chen Lihua went back to her room to sleep that she realized what was going on. She must have heard Li Aihua exaggerate some of the things about the original owner.

In the next few days, basically the same as the second day when Xu Yan's parents came, the family went to the fields to help Xie Zhuo work in the morning, and then went home together after finishing the work.

At the beginning, some people in the village said it was just a face-saving skill.

But the next day, the third day, the fourth day, and for a whole week they did this, and no one said anything.

"It seems that Xie Laosan's father-in-law and mother-in-law really accept him."

"What if you don't accept it? We're already married!"

"Why can't I meet such a good Yue family?"

"You're like this? Take a piss and look at yourself more."

Wang Ermaizi, who was standing by, heard them discussing Xie Zhuo and spat to the side with his eyelids drooping.

He felt that he had to go talk to Xu Yan's parents.

This marriage was clearly his in the first place, but it was Xie Lao San who interfered and that caused Xu Yan to marry him.

There are two burdens at Xie Laosan's house, who just want to suck blood from their family. It's just a fire pit. If they agree to Xu Yan marrying Xie Zhuo, she might as well marry him!

Thinking of this, Wang Ermaizi slowly walked towards Xie Zhuo's house.

It is still early now. Apart from Xie Zhuo's family and the educated youth at the educated youth site, everyone else is working in the fields.

There was no other noise on the road except the chirping of cicadas.

Suddenly, Wang Ermaizi heard someone talking in the grove. He frowned and quietly moved over.

Then he saw Sun Jiarou squatting on a rock and crying. Han Xiaoyu looked at her with a gloomy face and asked, "I'll ask you one last time, where is the stuff?"

"I don't know," Sun Jiarou said, "I can't even think of where to dig. You know my parents asked me to have more contact with the man in the city these past two days."

"I'm almost sick of looking at his ugly face every day. It would be fine if you didn't care about me, but you're still questioning me here."

"Don't you know what I feel about you?"

After saying this, Sun Jiarou started crying again.

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became.

Ever since Han Xiaoyu failed to bring money to propose marriage, her family's attitude towards her has become very different from before.

Not only did her parents find her a partner in the city regardless of her wishes, but that partner was also five or six years older than her.

It is said that he is the son of the director of a textile factory, and looks much uglier than Han Xiaoyu.

Once, the factory director's son took the opportunity to send her home and wanted to hold her hand. She was so disgusted that she couldn't eat her dinner that night.

She must not marry him!

Otherwise, how would she live the rest of her life?

Besides...

"I am already yours," Sun Jiarou raised her eyes and looked at Han Xiaoyu pitifully, "If I had money, would I not let you go to my house to propose marriage?"

Wang Ermaizi listened to their conversation, his eyes stayed on Sun Jiarou's body and face for a while, and he rubbed his chin with his index finger a few times, not knowing what he was thinking about.
