Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

Liu Siyu instantly became curious. This situation didn't seem right. Didn't Gu Changming care about Qingxue a lot? Could something have gone wrong?

"Since when did your brother Changming ignore you?"

Qingxue blushed and said angrily, "What do you mean by my brother Changming? If you say that again, I will ignore you."

I said this but for some reason I felt a little sweet in my heart.

Thinking back to the day when she delivered food to her parents and met Gu Changming in the field, and thinking that they had not seen each other for a long time, she went up to him and asked him what he was busy with recently.

But before Gu Changming could reply, her mother, who had always doted on her, found out. Without saying a word, she dragged her to her field and gave her a severe scolding. From then on, she was not allowed to deliver meals to the field anymore.

Brother Changming had been avoiding her intentionally or unintentionally since some time ago, and it became even more obvious after that time. Qingxue felt a little sour in her nose when she thought of this.

"My mother doesn't seem to like me talking to Brother Changming. Why do you think that is?"

Liu Siyu looked at Qingxue with a puzzled look and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly.

He whispered into Qingxue's ear, "Because your mother has seen how Gu Changming feels about you."

Qingxue exclaimed in surprise, then blushed.

Liu Siyu was sure that this little girl must have fallen in love with Gu Changming. Since both parties were interested in each other, she was willing to contribute a little bit of her thoughts to their love.

In the evening, Liu Siyu told Lai Xi about this.

Lai Xi said directly: "In fact, I noticed it the day your house was put up, and I suggested that Changming find someone he knows to ask. From what you said, it seems that Changming asked and was rejected, so he became discouraged and deliberately kept a distance from Qingxue for the sake of Qingxue's reputation."

"To be honest, Changming is a good man, practical and capable. If he marries Qingxue, he will definitely hold her in his hands and love her dearly, but..."

"Just what?"

Liu Siyu has not been here for long, but she has understood one thing clearly. In this era where women do not have much say, getting married and having children is mainly about finding someone to rely on.

Since Gu Changming is a reliable man and Qingxue likes him, why can't they be together?

Lai Xi was silent for a moment, but still wanted to introduce Gu Changming's family situation to Siyu.

"It's just that Changming's family is not like other people's. You've seen his father. He can do nothing even if you hit him with three sticks. He just focuses on his work and doesn't worry about anything else."

"Fuck, ah..."

Lai Xi couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned Gu Changming's mother.

"Changming's mother's surname is Liu. Everyone in the village calls her Granny Liu. She is a famous person who is lazy and likes to gossip. Everyone dislikes her. Aunt Yao has always treated Qingxue like a baby. I guess she would never agree to this marriage even in her dreams."

Liu Siyu didn't expect that there was such a funny person in Gu Changming's family.

I was a little undecided for a moment. No wonder Gu Changming is in his twenties and still a bachelor.

Qingxue is a simple girl without any ulterior motives, so such a home may not be suitable for her.

Liu Siyu's desire to help the two of them get together faded.

Qingxue, who was standing on the side, heard Liu Siyu's words, "Your mother might have seen through Changming's feelings for you," and her heart was filled with anger.

It turns out that Brother Changming has feelings for her, but why doesn’t he find a matchmaker to propose marriage?

Thinking about it carefully, she seemed to like Gu Changming very much. She began to wonder whether she should tell her mother about this.

But the girl's shyness still made it difficult for her to speak.

In the past, I always heard my mother say that she wanted to find her a certain kind of boy and a certain kind of family, and told her not to easily take anyone to heart, but to wait until she found the right one and then take him to heart, and her life after marriage would be happier.

But now she has fallen in love with the boy, but she had never thought about it carefully before. If Liu Siyu hadn't reminded her, she would still be confused about her own heart.

Yao was doing needlework under the eaves with a lot on her mind. When she came back, she saw at a glance that something was wrong with her daughter.

He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Why are you unhappy?"

"I..." Qingxue really wanted to tell my mother how she felt about Gu Changming, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that it would be against the agreement with her mother.

Yao's heart skipped a beat. Her daughter, who had always been straightforward, suddenly became so hesitant. She must be worried about something.

"What's going on?"

Qingxue shook her head and hid her thoughts in front of her mother for the first time.

But she is a transparent person and can't hide at all.

Yao became even more anxious, "Are you trying to drive me crazy?"

The more anxious her mother became, the more Qingxue dared not say anything. She was silent for a long while before she managed to utter a word.

"I don't want to get married now."

Yao breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out to be about this matter.

His nervous expression relaxed and he smiled: "Mother didn't tell you to get married this year, but the matchmaker did find a good match for you."

Just as Qingxue was about to refuse, she heard Yao say, "You know that person. When you meet him, you will definitely like him."

Hearing this, Qingxue naively thought that the person her mother was talking about was Gu Changming. Her rejection eased and she smiled shyly.

The next day, Yao suggested taking Qingxue to the town for a walk. When Qingxue heard this, she happily hugged Yao.

"Mom, you're so nice!"

Yao caressed her daughter's long hair lovingly, "Then go change your clothes quickly, and remember to wear the new one."

"Hey," Qingxue's tone was full of joy. Thinking of Liu Siyu's frequent visits to the town, she ran to the Tian family yard.

"Siyu, are you going to town today?"

Liu Siyu had just finished breakfast and was a little confused when she saw Qingxue's excited look.

"I'm going to the orchard today. What are you doing in town?"

"My mom said she wanted to take me shopping, and she wanted to invite you along, but forget it since you're busy."

Liu Siyu raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling that it was a bit strange that Yao suddenly took her daughter to town.

The wheat has begun to bloom, and everyone is busy weeding the corn fields and planting sweet potatoes. These tasks must be completed before the wheat awns emerge.

The fact that Yao was still willing to take her daughter to town at this moment was definitely not just for shopping.

However, Liu Siyu only muttered to herself for a moment and then let it go completely.

Liu Siyu and the Tian family prepared their hoes and went to the orchard.

From a distance, it looks pink, and the petals flutter down in the breeze.

It looks quite artistic.

When Liu Siyu visited the orchard for the first time, she couldn't help but sigh at the pink sea of ​​flowers stretching from the foot of the mountain to the top.

"This orchard is really big."

"It's about 8 to acres. I have been working in this orchard with my family since I was years old. That's how I achieved what I have today."

Lai Xi pointed to a small patch of green on the side of the mountain and said, "There are some apricot trees planted over there. We'll be able to eat them next month. They're big and plump and taste great."

"But the most common trees are peach trees. There are also some plums and prunes planted halfway up the mountain. The seasons are different. Starting next month, I will go to the town to sell fruits at all the big and small markets."

Liu Siyu remembered Lai Xi said that he always set up a stall in front of the grocery store. She turned her eyes slightly and suggested:

"In fact, we can pick some and put them at the docks. Merchants on ships and passers-by can buy them. Picking fresh ones every day will greatly reduce losses."
