Qingxue was teased, but she was not shy like other girls.

He just acted like an adult teaching a child.

"After the New Year, you will be 14 years old, and it is time for you to talk about your in-laws. When you get engaged and marry into your in-laws' family, we will see if you still have such a sharp tongue."

When Yucui heard about getting married, her cheeks turned red unconsciously.

But he still said it stubbornly.

"I don't want to get married. Look at you. You've just been engaged to Brother Changming, but you've been acting like a little wife all day long. You don't even have time to go out."

As he said that, he took Qingxue's hand and placed it in front of Liu Siyu.

"Second sister-in-law, look, this girl has pinholes all over her fingers in order to get her dowry. I don't want this."

Liu Siyu frowned slightly and reminded: "Yucui, I told you not to call me second sister-in-law anymore. From now on, you can call me Sister Siyu."

Yucui raised her hand and slapped her mouth awkwardly.

But I still couldn't help but feel sorry for Lai Xi.

"Are you really not going to forgive my second brother?"

Liu Siyu looked at everyone and saw that their eyes were all fixed here.

He just nodded slightly and didn't want to explain the problem any further.

But Yucui still didn't give up.

"My second brother was also framed. He..."

Liu Siyu quickly changed the subject.

He also took Qingxue's hand and said distressedly: "Even if you are in a hurry, there is no need to be so anxious. Look at your little hand, which was originally white and tender because of your mother's pampering, but now it is full of needle holes. Brother Changming must be heartbroken to see it..."

As soon as Liu Siyu finished speaking, Gu Changming and Li Jinshun walked in.

After hearing this, he looked at Qingxue with a distressed look.

Qingxue pulled her hand back without caring.

"My mother said that girls need to be diligent, otherwise they will be disliked by their husbands after they get married."

"Men are busy outside. If a woman can't even handle the little chores at home, how can she be loved by her man?"

Gu Changming listened and felt both distressed and happy.

The others laughed when they heard Qingxue's frank words.

This girl seems quite reserved when she's silent, but as soon as she opens her mouth, everything is revealed.

Liu Siyu was also amused by Qingxue's cute appearance and laughed.

On this cold winter day, the handmade vermicelli production in the yard has become a unique landscape.

The young girls and wives under the eaves were all laughing.

The cold wind did not make them feel cold, but instead brought them infinite warmth.

Warmth comes from the heart and is the yearning for a better life.

……

A heavy snowstorm delayed the construction schedule, and Liu Siyu’s courtyard was not officially completed until before the New Year.

We reunited in our original house at noon on New Year’s Eve.

At night, Liu Siyu wanted to create a sense of ceremony in her newly built courtyard.

No one from the village was invited, only the young ladies who were familiar with each other.

Dinner is not over yet.

Xiaohuaer and Xiaoqing had already entered the yard, and Wang hurriedly stood up to greet them.

"Come in and sit down. The fire in the stove is burning brightly. Come in and warm yourself up."

Xiaohua had stayed in this house the longest and was most familiar with Wang, so she naturally walked forward with a smile.

"Don't worry about us, Auntie. We came early. We thought that there would be too many people tonight, so we came early to help."

Wang likes Xiaohua’s understanding very much.

"Are you full? Do you want to eat more?"

Xiaohua touched her bulging belly.

"My family is also well-off this year. My stomach is already full of fat and water."

Xiao Qing immediately agreed.

"Yes, every family has made money this year, and this New Year's Eve dinner is many times better than in previous years."

The two of them went into the house while talking.

Liu Siyu also gave up her bowl and chopsticks, she was full too.

Liu Sihan burped, but the braised pork elbow on the table was so delicious that he couldn't help but pick up another piece with his chopsticks.

Seeing Sihan being so greedy, Liu Siyu smiled and patted Liu Sihan's hand.

"Just eat until you are full. Don't force yourself. We have other things to eat at night. If you eat too much, you will not be able to sleep!"

Liu Sihan playfully took another bite.

"Who made it so delicious?"

Wang scolded, "You are greedy and you blame me."

Xiao Qing chuckled.

"My dad said the same thing to me!"

Xiaohua looked at Liu Sihan's naughty appearance and recalled the past.

At that time, Sihan was still young and his family lived in extreme poverty.

Liu Siyu didn't like him very much at that time and often bullied him. Every time Sihan was wronged, he would sit by the river and cry alone.

She was the one who went to comfort her every time, and when there was something delicious, she would secretly hide some and bring it to Liu Sihan.

Sihan would always chase after her and call her sister, and said that she would repay her well when she grew up.

When I thought of what Liu Sihan said about repaying someone, I suddenly remembered the question my mother asked her.

"Mother knows that your mind is on Sihan, and your aunt likes you too. Have you ever asked Sihan what she means?"

Thinking of this, Xiaohua felt a little hesitant.

Sihan has rarely come back since she went to school.

Every time they met, there were always a crowd of people around, and she hadn't spoken to Sihan alone for a long time.

While feeling sad, Xiaohua saw Sihan carrying a plate to the kitchen, and she immediately stood up and followed behind her with the plate.

Xiao Qing also wanted to help, but Liu Siyu held her back.

"Please help me pack the snacks and fruits. Put one plate for each kind of fruit."

Xiao Qing didn't think too much and happily stayed in the main room to help.

Xiaohuaer followed Sihan, and thinking that Sihan was a scholar, she mentioned that she had learned to read and do accounting from Liu Siyu.

Liu Sihan turned around in surprise.

"Really?"

Xiaohua smiled shyly.

"Well, I can already do the accounting on my own, but I can't read very many words."

Liu Sihan hurried to comfort her.

"Don't worry. Learning to read is a process that takes time. Just follow your sister and learn. If you don't understand something, you can ask me."

Xiaohua nodded.

As they were talking, they had already reached the kitchen, and Liu Sihan naturally began to clean up the leftovers.

Xiaohua also helped out skillfully.

Wang was very happy to see this, so she made an excuse that she was not feeling well today and handed the kitchen dishes to Liu Sihan.

Before Sihan could say a word, Xiaohuaer hurriedly took over the job.

He also said that Sihan was a scholar and should not be involved in kitchen chores.

Liu Sihan didn't think so. He used to do kitchen work often. He couldn't start to be picky just because he had read a few days' worth of books.

He immediately said, "I don't agree with that. Scholars are also human beings. I used to do these chores. Besides, mother and sister are usually busy. I should help share some of the burden when I come back."

When Wang heard this, she immediately took advantage of the situation.

"What Sihan said makes sense. Then you two should clean up the kitchen together. I'll go to the main room to take a look."

"Okay," Liu Sihan responded and started to help.

Looking at Wang's back, Xiaohua felt a little shy.

Immediately pick up the bowl and chopsticks and put them in the wooden basin.

"Leave the dishwashing to me. You just rinse them with clean water."

Liu Sihan obeyed and brought a basin of water and placed it in front of Xiaohua.

Xiaohua secretly glanced at Liu Sihan out of the corner of her eye.

Tentatively, "Sihan, what are your plans for the future?"

After hearing this, Liu Sihan began to think seriously.

"I will take the Tongsheng exam next fall, and I will study hard during this time."

"After you pass the exam and become a student, will you come back here?"
