A dream ends life

Liu Xia moved quickly, and when Su Ci and Chunshui came over with their things, the courtyard was clean.

Liu Qiushi carried a mountain of firewood into the yard and put it in the unused firewood room in the west wing.

There are three main rooms in the courtyard and three east and west wing rooms in total.

The wing on the east side has a brick bed and can be used for living. On the west side is the kitchen and woodshed. There are not many furnishings in the room, just simple furniture that can be used on a daily basis, and nothing else.

Liu Xia's second uncle went to the provincial capital to work and was favored by the master's daughter. He settled down in the provincial capital and the three rooms were built when he came back to live for a while after marriage.

His wife didn't like life in the mountains, and within two months, the couple returned to the provincial capital, where they had children and settled down.

Uncle Liu would come back for a day or two during the holidays, and the house would be handed over to my eldest brother's family for management.

When Liu Qiushi gets married, his elder brother won't have to spend money to build a house.

"Thank you, Brother Liu. The money for the firewood will be included in the rent and will be given to Uncle Liu tomorrow."

Su Ci spoke to Liu Qiushi with a smile on her face. When Liu Qiushi looked at Su Ci, his face turned red.

The look of excitement on the faces of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys looking at pretty girls made Su Ci's old-fashioned heart think of his own youthful years.

After living one more lifetime, that kind of secret love, throbbing, and passionate emotions seemed to have been left in her original world along with the time travel.

After traveling to a strange world, she spent two years of peaceful life in Qi State, which made her feel that God was very kind to her.

When she thought she could live happily ever after, all the good things came to nothing with the death of her father.

Old Man Su died and the business was ruined. Within half a year, the Su family’s business was divided up and the Su family fell apart.

Her parents loved each other so much. But just one year after her father passed away, her mother remarried, leaving her and her younger sister to struggle.

In the end, the woman somehow found her conscience and stood in front of them, wanting to take her away.

She said that it was enough for the Su family to leave one child, and the Liu family, the man she remarried, allowed her to bring a daughter over.

Although the Liu family is also a merchant family and got a share of the profits when the Su family was on the verge of collapse, the head of the Liu family is still honest.

The eight-year-old sister cried so hard that she couldn't breathe while looking at her mother. She had never left her mother, so when she saw her mother, all the grievances and longings for her came flooding back to her heart.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.

She packed her sister's luggage without hesitation and let her go to Liu's house with her mother. She was twelve years old that year.

When she met Liu Yunjin in Beijing, all the memories of her childhood came back to her clearly. She thought she didn't care about it anymore, but she remembered everything clearly.

Yes, the messenger from Qi State, Liu Yunjin, is the original legitimate son of the Liu family, the real eldest son of the family her mother remarried, and her mother’s current stepson.

It's funny that she herself couldn't tolerate her husband's illegitimate son, even though he was the only child who could inherit the family line.

After remarrying, she acted as a stepmother conscientiously and responsibly, treating her stepmother three times better than her own children. When Liu Yunjin fell ill, she stayed by his side and took care of him, never asking anyone else to do the job.

In Liu's house, she was a qualified wife and a rare good stepmother. She was praised by everyone as a gentle and good stepmother, which was really ridiculous.

"Brother Qiushi! Who is she? Why have I never seen her before? What is your relationship with her?"

A rough and heroic voice brought Su Ci's attention back to the small mountain village of Dongyong.

Su Ci looked in the direction of the voice and saw a grown-up girl standing in the yard.

The girl was very tall, about the same height as Liu Qiushi, with broad shoulders, narrow waist and slender figure. She had a high ponytail on her head and wore shorts similar to men's. Her face was dark.

His facial features are regular, not pretty, but not ugly either.

Looking at Liu Qiushi at this moment was like looking at a heartless man who had fallen in love with someone else.

Liu Qiushi secretly glanced at Su Ci and said, "Li Xianhua, what does my family's affairs have to do with you? Stay out of it!"

Li Xianhua's dark face was stained with anger and looked even darker.

"Are you going to get married? How could you do this, you bastard!"

Liu Qiushi was annoyed: "What are you talking about? It's none of your business whether I get married or not. Go home quickly. Don't get yourself beaten here!"

This idiot dares to say anything and even talks nonsense in front of the girl. What if Miss Su misunderstands him?

Li Xianhua gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, then turned and left: "Go if you want, sooner or later I will make you regret doing this to me!"

Liu Qiushi said: "I won't regret it."

Li Xianhua is born in the year of the dog. As long as he comes back, she will come to his house and bother him, which makes him very annoyed.

Liu Xia curled her lips and said, "Qiu Shi, flowers are actually quite nice. How about letting mother propose marriage to you?"

Qiushi was frightened and said, "Sister, please stop talking. She and I can't get along. I'm marrying a wife, not her."

"Why can't she do it? Didn't you always play together when you were kids?" Liu Xia asked.

Qiu Shi said: "I treat her as a brother, how can I live like this?"

Li Xianhua is a tomboy. They can play together, but if they lie in bed as a couple, he will have nightmares every day.

Liu Xia sighed secretly, it was really difficult for his brother to find a wife.

In the past, there was a girl named Li Xianhua who always appeared before people's eyes. She frightened all the little girls in the village and no one dared to get too close to Qiushi.

This Li Xianhua is a reckless person. Anyone who messes with her will be in trouble. After today, no one knows what will happen.

Su Ci looked funny, it’s so good to be young!

After they saw that everything was ready, Liu Qiushi went to Li's house twice and moved all the commonly used items they had bought.

In this way, Su Ci officially settled down in this small village.

In the evening, Chunshui and I worked together to prepare a sumptuous dinner, which served as a warm stove.

Liu Lao brought back two pheasants and two rabbits each, and sent them to Su Ci as a side dish. Su Ci reciprocated and simply invited the Liu family to come over for dinner.

Liu Xia and her mother also joined in cooking. The meal was quickly prepared and included meat, vegetables, soup and rice.

Seeing that they were all women, the Liu father and son were a little reluctant to sit at the table for dinner. But how could Su Ci care about that? At her insistence, Old Man Liu was invited to sit at the main table.

When the food was served, the family's original awkwardness quickly disappeared.

Liu Qiushi swallowed his saliva and said, "What a nice smell! I never knew that these chickens and rabbits could smell so good. I have never smelled this smell in any big restaurant in the city."

Liu Xia had seen Su Ci's cooking skills, so she wasn't too surprised and joked, "Have you ever been to a big restaurant?"

Liu Qiushi rolled his eyes. He had never been there, but he had smelled it. He passed by the alley behind the restaurant's kitchen every day while working, and he could guess what was being made by just smelling the food.

Under Su Ci's intentional guidance, the Liu family chatted and laughed, and everyone was smiling during the meal!

The next day, before dawn, there was a knock on the Liu family's door, accompanied by Li Xianhua's loud voice!
