Forced to go to the countryside, the arrogant young lady got married and became a military wife

Li Yue's gaze still stayed on Sanwa, and tears gradually filled her eyes.

She stretched out her hand with slight trembling, as if wanting to touch Sanwa, but stopped in mid-air, as if afraid that her action would scare the child.

When Shi Qingqian saw Li Yue's reaction, a feeling of pity welled up in her heart.

She said softly, "Sister-in-law, Sanwa is very cute. If he knew that he had such a gentle aunt looking after him, he would definitely be very happy."

Zhang Youdi also quickly said: "Yes, look how much our third child likes Auntie."

After hearing what they said, Li Yue's mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to smile, but in the end he just sighed softly.

Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, including regret for the past and confusion about the present.

Xu Huaiguo held Li Yue's hand tightly and said, "Yuer, we will be fine. Everything will be fine."

At this time, Da Wa raised his head, looked at Li Yue and said, "Auntie, don't be afraid, we are all family."

Xiaofang and Xiaohui also nodded in agreement. The innocent eyes and words of the children warmed Li Yue's heart.

Li Yue slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at Xu Huaiguo and the children. Although she still did not react much, the fear in her eyes gradually dissipated.

The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually relaxed and everyone began to talk in low voices. Although Li Yue still didn't talk much, her expression was obviously much more relaxed.

She would occasionally raise her head and look at the people around her, and her eyes were no longer filled with fear and anxiety.

After the meal, Shi Qingqian took the initiative to help clean up the dishes.

Zhang Lanxiang looked at Li Yue and said, "Yuer, come out more often to eat with everyone. It's more lively when there are more people."

Li Yue lowered her head slightly and said nothing, but her expression showed that she was thinking seriously about Zhang Lanxiang's words.

Xu Huaiguo helped Li Yue back to the room. Along the way, he talked to Li Yue in a low voice. Li Yue listened quietly and occasionally responded.

……

A few days later, it was the weekend. In the afternoon, the three children, Da Wa, Xiao Fang and Xiao Hui, skipped and jumped towards Shi Qingqian's house.

Their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation, because they had agreed last night that they would go to Shi Qingqian's house to watch TV together today.

When they arrived at the wooden door, Da Wa was the first to stand at the front.

He raised his hand, curled his fingers slightly, and then carefully knocked on the door three times with his knuckles.

"Dong dong dong..."

Xiaofang stood aside, her eyes fixed on the door, her hands unconsciously twisted together, her toes tapping lightly on the ground.

Xiaohui hid behind shyly, sticking out half of her head, her eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

After knocking on the door, Da Wa put his ear close to the door. When he heard the movement inside, his eyes were bright and full of anticipation.

After waiting for a while and seeing no movement, Da Wa raised his hand and prepared to knock again.

This time, he knocked a little harder, "dong dong dong", the sound was louder.

At this time, Shi Qingqian was writing furiously at the desk and only heard the sound when they knocked on the door for the third time.

"You're here," Shi Qingqian saw three little kids as soon as she opened the door.

"Third aunt."

Shi Qingqian smiled and patted the children's heads, "Come in quickly."

The children walked into the house happily, their eyes looking around.

Shi Qingqian took them to wash their hands and sit on the sofa.

Da Wa couldn't wait to ask, "Aunt San, when do we start watching TV?"

Xiaofang also nodded, her face full of anticipation. Although Xiaohui didn't say anything, her eyes were also full of desire.

Shi Qingqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can come and see it after I clean up this place."

She quickly tidied her desk, then took the children to the living room and turned on the TV.

Televisions today are not like they were decades ago, with hundreds of channels to watch.

This TV was exchanged from the space. It is considered the most advanced one, but it only has 15 channels in total.

The only TV series still being broadcast is Dream of the Red Chamber.

But it didn't affect the children's eyes from being glued to the TV screen.

Shi Qingqian gave them some melon seeds and peanuts.

……

Shi Qingqian and the children were immersed in the plot of "Dream of Red Mansions". Although the black and white pictures were not as colorful as those in later generations, they had a unique charm.

Just then, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door.

Shi Qingqian raised her eyes slightly, a hint of doubt arose in her heart. As the footsteps got closer and closer, the door was gently pushed open and Xu Xiaohua walked in.

Xu Xiaohua had an unnatural smile on her face and was holding a small basket in her hand.

The moment Shi Qingqian saw Xu Xiaohua, she probably understood why she came.

"Hey, Xiaohua, why are you here?" Shi Qingqian asked with a smile, her tone relaxed and natural.

Xu Xiaohua smiled awkwardly and handed over the eggs in her hand: "Cousin, I heard that you were injured, so I came to see you. These eggs were just laid by my hen. I brought them to you to try."

Shi Qingqian quickly waved her hands: "How can this be so embarrassing? Just keep it for yourself."

Xu Xiaohua insisted on keeping the eggs: "Cousin, just take them. They are not worth much."

Shi Qingqian didn't answer and asked, "Xiaohua, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Xu Xiaohua's heart tightened, and she quickly shook her head: "It's nothing, I just admire you for not being afraid to go to the back mountain at night."

"Cousin, I heard... there's something like that in the back mountain at night. Did you see anything on the mountain that day?"

Xu Xiaohua followed what Fang Yi taught her, observing Shi Qingqian's expression as she spoke, her legs still shaking.

Shi Qingqian saw her little movements and just found it funny.

If you still want to be yourself, no wonder you were deceived by that scumbag.

"Xiaohua, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?" Shi Qingqian continued to play dumb.

"That's the one," Qing Qian whispered as Xu Xiaohua approached, "the one floating in the sky."

There were no flying ones in the sky, but I did see a pair rolling on the ground.

Shi Qingqian pretended to be nervous and said, "You can't say that nonsense. It's feudal superstition. If someone hears it, it will be a big disaster."

"To tell you the truth, I heard from an aunt in the village that there were duck eggs in the back hill, so I thought of picking some up. But instead of finding any duck eggs, I ended up breaking my leg."

Xu Xiaohua bit her lip, still feeling a little worried.

She added, "Cousin, if you saw anything, please tell me. I... I'm a little scared. I won't dare go to the back mountain anymore."

He was probably afraid of being caught rolling on the grass in the back hill again.

Shi Qingqian smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Don't scare yourself. I really didn't see anything. Just go ahead and don't worry. Those things are all lies."

Xu Xiaohua was finally relieved: "Okay, cousin, take good care of yourself and I'll go back first."

"I have everything I need. Take these eggs back and use them to nourish your uncle and aunt."

Xu Xiaohua really couldn't bear to part with these 10 eggs, but she brought them with her because it was inconvenient to go to the door empty-handed.

"Then... then I'll leave."

Shi Qingqian looked at Xu Xiaohua's back as she left, and almost laughed out loud in her heart. She was so easy to fool.
