There have been cases of wives running away with other men in their village before.

Xu Huaian is a soldier and can only come back to visit his family for no more than one month each year. This girl is so beautiful, Xu Wu is really worried.

Xu Huaian looked at his uncle's worried expression and said firmly, "Uncle, don't worry. You'll know Qianqian is a good person after spending more time with her. Besides, I can support her even without her working."

"I just want to trouble Second Uncle to take good care of her in the future. Don't assign her any work as soon as possible. If that's not possible, assign her the easiest work. The number of work points is not important, just don't tire her out."

After hearing what Xu Huaian said, Xu Wu frowned slightly, but seeing that Xu Huaian had made up his mind, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Huaian, since you've said that, it's hard for my uncle to say anything more. But you have to know that life isn't easy these days."

Xu Huaian looked at his second uncle gratefully and said, "Thank you very much, second uncle. I knew that you loved me the most. Qianqian prepared some tobacco from the city for you. We will send it home later."

Hearing about the tobacco, and that it was bought in the city, Xu Wu's eyes instantly brightened. "This girl seems to be thoughtful. You must treat her well. After you get married, live a good life. If you have any difficulties, come to your uncle."

"I know."

"By the way, there's something else I want to tell you. Your mother knows you're coming back, and she's been looking for someone for you these past few days."

"..."

Xu Huaian was not surprised by the news. After all, in the past few years, whenever he went home, his mother would come here like this.

Xu Wu looked at Shi Qingqian, who had not spoken a word. If he only looked at her face, it was indeed very pleasing to the eye.

"Don't worry, kid. Huai'an's parents are both very good people. His mother may have a bad temper, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. When you come to our Xu family, we will definitely not let you suffer any grievances."

After hearing what Xu Wu said, Shi Qingqian said in a rare and obedient manner, "Thank you, Second Uncle."

"We're a family, what are you thanking me for? You must be tired after traveling so far. Get in the car and rest. We'll wait for another hour, and then we'll go back to the village when everyone is here."

Xu Huaian and Shi Qingqian got on the tractor as instructed. Xu Huaian found a relatively comfortable place and laid out his short-sleeved shirt.

"Sit here."

Shi Qingqian looked at Xu Huaian's attentive actions, felt warm in her heart, and walked over to sit down.

There were already a few educated youth on the bus. When they saw them, their eyes revealed curiosity and a hint of envy.

Just as Shi Qingqian and Xu Huaian were sitting on the tractor waiting to set off, Fang Yi and Su Feifei also came to the tractor.

When they saw Xu Huaian and Shi Qingqian, they showed surprise on their faces.

Fang Yi spoke first: "What a coincidence! You are also going to Xiangyang Village."

Xu Huaian nodded slightly and responded, "Yeah."

Xu Wu saw two more educated youth coming and asked them to get in the car quickly.

Fang Yi and Su Feifei got on the car and found an empty seat to sit down. The atmosphere on the tractor was a little subtle for a moment.

As more and more people came, an hour passed quickly. Xu Wu started the tractor and drove towards Xiangyang Village.

Along the way, the tractor was shaking, and some of the educated youth looked at the scenery outside the window excitedly, while others remained silent.

Shi Qingqian leaned on Xu Huaian's shoulder.

This was her first time riding a tractor, and she felt so shaken that she wanted to vomit.

Xu Huaian noticed Shi Qingqian's discomfort and hurriedly asked Xu Wu to drive slower.

Then he patted her back gently and asked with concern, "Qianqian, is it uncomfortable? Just hold on a little longer, you'll be there soon."

Shi Qingqian's face was a little pale and she nodded slightly.

About half an hour later, the tractor stopped at the entrance of Xiangyang Village.

Shi Qingqian got out of the car and calmed down, her expression finally softening a lot.

After saying something to Xu Wu, they walked along a country road towards Xu Huaian's home.

It was the slack season for farmers, and many people were watching them along the way.

"Huaian is back."

"Yes, uncle."

Xu Huaian greeted the villagers while protecting Shi Qingqian.

After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at Xu Huaian's house.

His family had an officer named Xu Huaian, and his other two sons were also very hardworking, so they built the only large blue brick and tile house in the village, which stood out in the village.

The gate of the yard was open, and you could see the neat yard inside.

"This is my home. The house was newly built two years ago. In addition to the kitchen and the main room, there are four rooms in total. There is one for each of us three brothers and my parents. My younger sister is studying in the county and comes back to live with my parents on weekends."

While introducing everyone, Xu Huaian took Shi Qingqian into the yard, but heard a lively conversation coming from the house.

In the main room, Xu Huaian's mother Zhang Lanxiang was chatting with their neighbor Aunt Yang and a young female comrade.

Considering what Xu Wu said just now, that his mother was looking for a partner for him, what else could Xu Huaian not understand?

Shi Qingqian naturally understood what was going on, and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on his waist.

Xu Huaian felt pain, but didn't dare to scream. He could only look at Shi Qingqian helplessly, his eyes full of apology.

Shi Qingqian raised her chin slightly, with a hint of anger in her eyes.

At this time, Zhang Lanxiang and others in the main room heard the noise and turned around.

"San'er, you're back!"

When Zhang Lanxiang saw her youngest son coming back, she ran out excitedly and didn't notice that there was someone else next to her.

"Why have you lost so much weight?" Zhang Lanxiang pulled him into the house. "It's just right that you're back. Let me introduce you. This is your Aunt Yang's niece. She's a junior high school student and a regular employee at the county's state-owned restaurant. You two should get to know each other."

"Mom, no need to introduce," Xu Huaian stopped and took Shi Qingqian's hand, "Mom, this is my fiancée Shi Qingqian. I have already filed a marriage registration, and you will soon have a daughter-in-law."

When Zhang Lanxiang heard this, she was stunned and her eyes fell on Shi Qingqian.

Shi Qingqian stood there gracefully, her long black hair falling smoothly on her shoulders like a waterfall, a few strands of hair fluttering gently in the breeze, adding a touch of lively beauty.

She was wearing a white long dress, which was soft in texture and swayed slightly in the wind. She looked like a fairy walking out of a painting, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.

It's a pity that she is a little thin, and looks like a delicate flower that needs careful care, and is not capable of doing housework.

But after all, this was the person her son had chosen, so she couldn't get angry immediately.

He turned around and sent Aunt Yang and her niece away first, and even threw in a piece of cloth as an apology.

After Aunt Yang and her niece left, Zhang Lanxiang turned around and looked at Shi Qingqian again.

Shi Qingqian met Zhang Lanxiang's gaze without any fear.

As for her mother-in-law, she can maintain respect for her elders, but it is impossible for her to serve her like a slave.

"Come in with me," Zhang Lanxiang said, then turned and went into the house.
