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

Qingxue was quite surprised, this was not her mother's style, but in front of outsiders, she just followed her mother obediently.

When Gao saw that Qingxue had no objection and Yao was also quite satisfied, she thought that the mother and daughter were interested in her son.

She felt a little proud in her heart. It was true. Her son was so outstanding. Apart from the eldest girl from the Liu family who was blind and didn't like him, there was probably no one else in the surrounding villages who would refuse him.

The smile deepened, and he said to Fang Mu beside him: "Go buy some meat buns quickly. It's rare to meet someone you like. Today, you should treat your Aunt Yao and Sister Qingxue well."

Fang Mu responded and went to the bun shop.

Yao said politely, "Just have a bowl of wontons, why spend that money?"

Gao's mouth corners raised even higher, "It's just a few meat buns, please don't be polite to me."

After a while Fang Mu came back and not only brought back meat buns, but also bought two snacks.

Gao happily brought the snacks to Qingxue.

"Girl, look how thoughtful your brother Fang Mu is. He knows that you like sweet things, so he bought some snacks for you. Come and try them."

Fang Mu frowned slightly. This snack was clearly something his mother had told him to buy in advance. As long as she asked him to buy the buns, it meant that he had chosen the snack and wanted to take two more.

Now that the blame was put on him, he didn't know what to say, so he could only grin.

Although Qingxue was a little thick-skinned, her mother's behavior was too strange. Together with Gao's mother and son, she had some vague guesses in her mind.

I wanted to whisper to my mother, but because there were outsiders around, I had to hold it in.

It was not until they left Yingshan Village that Qingxue immediately asked the question in her mind.

"Mom, did you make an appointment with Aunt Gao from Yingshan Village?"

Yao touched her daughter's long hair lovingly.

"My daughter has grown up. Now that you understand my thoughts, I will not hide it from you. What do you think of Fang Mu?"

The figure of Gu Changming flashed through Qingxue's mind, and her heart felt extremely sad.

"Mom, do you really want me to get married?"

Yao patted her daughter lightly.

"Silly girl, isn't your mother thinking about you? There aren't many good boys, and your Aunt Gao thinks highly of you. After the engagement, your Aunt Gao will be happy if you marry a year or two later."

Qingxue's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Mother, didn't you say before that you would only help me find a marriage if I chose one?"

Yao naturally understood what her daughter was thinking, so she didn't want to force it and just smiled and laughed it off.

"Mom is just asking. If you don't like it, we can watch it again."

Qingxue and her mother have a relationship that is both like that of mother and daughter and like that of confidants. They always discuss things with each other and she has never lied to her.

Therefore, after hearing this, Qingxue believed it and her depressed mood suddenly became cheerful again.

On the way back, he ran into Gu Changxing. When he saw Qingxue and her daughter coming back from outside, he greeted them with a smile.

"Are you guys going to the market?"

Qingxue nodded with a smile, "Why are you getting down to the ground at this time?"

"I was at home helping my father vomit out feces, which delayed me for some time," Li Changxing said, but he felt a little doubtful because Qingxue had just gone to town some time ago.

Farmers only go there a few times throughout the year, and this time he went there specially with Aunt Yao. Could there be something else?

Thinking of his brother Changming, he suddenly became more cautious.

"Why did you come back so late? I guess you haven't had lunch yet?"

For some reason, Qingxue didn't want Gu Changxing to know what happened today, but before she could think of an excuse, Yao Shi took the lead.

"I've already eaten. Today, I ran into the mother and son of Carpenter Tan from Yingshan Village. We got along very well and the family was very polite, so they treated us to a simple meal."

Gu Changxing said "oh" but became alert in his heart. They were working at Carpenter Tan's house in Yingshan Village and had seen his two sons.

They are all talented and have good family backgrounds. Even if Qingxue has feelings for Brother Changming, she will inevitably be tempted after two more contacts.

Thinking of this, he lost his mood to work and immediately ran to Gu Changming's land.

Gu Changming was weeding in the corn field. When he saw Changxing rushing over, he thought something had happened.

"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Chang Xing put down the hoe with a clang and couldn't help but sigh for his cousin.

"How can you be so careless? You are in a critical situation, and you still have the heart to weed here."

Gu Changming was even more confused, "What's the matter?"

"Do you know that Qingxue went to see a boy?"

Gu Changming felt a pain in his heart, and his hands gripping the hoe tightened unconsciously, but he still tried his best to remain calm.

"Qingxue is already 14 this year. Isn't it normal for her to go and meet a boy..."

As he said this, he raised his hoe and dug heavily into the ground twice, as if the grass was hostile to him. He accidentally dug up a corn seedling and broke it.

Gu Changming felt a sore nose and a hoarse throat. In order to hide the slightly red circles under his eyes, he quickly squatted down to pick up corn seedlings.

Changxing felt both distressed and angry at his cousin for not fighting for anything when he saw him like this, so he grabbed the corn seedlings.

"Brother Changming, tell me the truth today. Do you have Qingxue in your heart? If you still care about her, fight for her openly. If you have let her go, just tell me straight out that I will never care about your affairs again from now on."

Gu Changming sat down on the ground dejectedly.

"Even if I have feelings for Qingxue, what does it matter? I have asked someone to go to her house and ask quietly. Aunt Yao is just worried, so she is anxious to find a husband for Qingxue."

"That day, Qingxue just said a few words to me, but Aunt Yao caught her and scolded her. Qingxue always listens to her mother. If she can't get past Aunt Yao, what can I argue with? What can I argue with..."

Changxing didn't know that Gu Changming had already asked someone reliable to ask. After hearing this, he felt sad for his cousin and felt wronged for him.

However, he has always been a thick-skinned and smart man. After thinking it over carefully, he made a suggestion.

"How about this, you ask Qingxue in person. I think she has feelings for you, but that girl is simple-minded. I'm afraid she hasn't figured out what she really thinks of you."

Gu Changming opened his mouth in shock, "Is this... is this possible?"

"Look at your lack of ability. How do you know it won't work if you don't give it a try?"

After hearing this, Gu Changming was silent for a long time.

Finally, he let out a long sigh, as if he had made a great decision, "Okay, then I'll try again. If it really doesn't work, I'll just give up."

Although he said this, his heart suddenly began to hang in the balance when he thought about confessing his feelings to Qingxue in person. He was distracted while working in the afternoon and could not sleep at night. He tossed and turned but could not fall asleep.

The next day, she deliberately passed by Qingxue's house and looked inside quietly. She saw Qingxue was the only one doing needlework in the yard. She smiled and waved to her.

When Qingxue saw this, she immediately put down her needlework. Her mother was arranging a marriage for her, and she also wanted Changming to understand her feelings.

Thinking of the meat buns from yesterday, which were still hot in the pot, which her mother had specially left for her as breakfast, she immediately took one and put it in her arms.

The two walked towards the river, one in front of the other, feeling both happy and nervous.

By the creek where Qingxue often washed clothes, Gu Changming mustered up the courage to say to Qingxue: "I have something to tell you."

For some reason, Qingxue's heart beat faster and she immediately took out the hot meat bun.
