My strategy failed, so my bestie introduced me to a tough officer.

Song Sixiao was a premature baby.

When I was a child, I was weak and fell ill every other day.

There is a custom in Daoxiangtun.

Find a godparent for a weak and difficult-to-raise child, and it will be easier to raise the child if he or she has two children.

The Song family has a good relationship with the Xie family.

After discussing with her husband Song Qingmin, Tian Juying took the skinny little Song Sixiao, who was less than two years old, to the Xie family to thank Ping An and Xu Hongyu for being their godparents.

Xie Ping'an and Xu Hongyu had not yet given birth to Xie Zhenbei and Xie Jiaxin at that time. The couple dreamed of having a daughter. When they learned the purpose of Tian Juying and Song Qingmin's visit, the couple agreed without hesitation.

The two families lived in the same village. Tian Juying often took Song Sixiao to the Xie family to play. During the busy farming season, Tian Juying and Song Qingmin would even leave their housework and go to the Xie family to help. As they helped each other for a long time, the relationship between the two families became closer.

Even after giving birth to Xie Zhenbei and Xie Jiaxin, Xu Hongyu and Xie Pingan still treated Song Sixiao as their own daughter.

Song Sixiao had excellent grades and was admitted to the best high school in the county after graduating from junior high school.

When Tian Juying and Song Qingmin could not afford to pay for Song Sixiao to go to high school, Xu Hongyu and Xie Pingan took the initiative to pay for Song Sixiao to go to high school.

"Sixiao is also a daughter of our Xie family."

Seeing Tian Juying like this, Xu Hongyu had no choice but to accept the things.

"Old Xie and I treat our daughter well, that's what we should do."

"Besides, Sixiao is a good girl. She has brought us a lot of happiness over the years."

"Yes, yes, Sixiao is also your and Brother Xie's daughter."

"When you and Brother Xie are old and frail and can no longer work in the fields, Sixiao and Yunze will still have to support you and Brother Xie."

Speaking of Cao Yunze, Tian Juying's face was instantly filled with smiles.

She and Song Qingmin really like their son-in-law Cao Yunze from the bottom of their hearts.

"Juying, have you agreed to Sixiao's marriage to Editor-in-Chief Cao?"

Xu Hongyu leaned close to Tian Juying's ear and asked in a low voice.

"accepted."

Tian Juying answered happily.

"Yun Ze has a formal job, is handsome, has a good personality, and is gentle and considerate to Si Xiao. What else can I choose from such a good son-in-law?"

"Yun Ze's parents are also easy to get along with and sensible. Old Song and I feel at ease with Si Xiao marrying into the Cao family."

"The two children have a stable relationship. Yunze's parents want to pick an auspicious date in Daoxiangtun as soon as possible to hold their wedding."

"Have a wedding!"

A hint of surprise appeared in Xu Hongyu's eyes.

She had never lived with Cao Yunze's parents and didn't know their character, so she couldn't help but worry about Song Sixiao.

"Isn't it too soon?"

"I think it's too fast, but Xiaoxiao is happy with it."

Tian Juying glanced at her eldest daughter who was talking to Cao Yunze and Cao Heping.

"That girl has always had great ideas and is more farsighted than me and Old Song. Since she's willing, let's do what she and the Cao family want."

"Sister-in-law, I'll have to trouble you and my brother to help pick an auspicious day."

"to make."

Tian Juying was right, Song Sixiao was far-sighted and had a good vision.

Since Song Sixiao was happy with it, Xu Hongyu didn't say anything more.

"Let's prepare dinner first."

"After dinner, when we have some free time, the three of us can sit together and slowly look through the almanac."

"Qingmin, Zhennan Jiaojiao, Xiaoxiao, the four of you will accompany Professor Cao, Comrade He, and Editor-in-Chief Cao to the main hall to warm yourself by the fire, eat melon seeds, and chat."

"Old Xie, go and kill the goose in the pen."

"Zhenbei, pluck goose feathers with your father."

"Jiaxin, light the fire."

Xu Hongyu assigned tasks to everyone with a smile on her face.

"Godmother, what am I doing?"

"Godmother, I can work too."

Song Siming and Song Siyu came close to Xu Hongyu.

Song Siming is thirteen years old and just entered junior high school last fall.

Song Siyu is eleven years old and in the sixth grade of elementary school.

The brother and sister followed their eldest sister Song Sixiao and called Xie Ping'an and Xu Hongyu their godfather and godmother, and they have been doing this for more than ten years.

"How could I have forgotten about you two?"

Xu Hongyu's eyes fell on the brother and sister, her eyes revealing kindness and love.

"The goose is delicious when stewed with chestnuts."

"You two brothers will be responsible for peeling the chestnuts."

After an afternoon of hard work.

The steaming hot meal was served on the table.

There are two octagonal tables in the main hall.

There is one table for men and one table for women.

The brazier under the table was burning brightly.

The three families were roasting by the fire and eating around the eight-immortal table. It was lively and there was a very festive atmosphere.

"Godmother, your roast goose with chestnuts is so delicious."

Yun Jiaojiao, who has tasted delicacies from land and sea, was also impressed by her mother-in-law Xu Hongyu's cooking skills.

Yun Jiaojiao took over Song Siyu's words.

"Mom, the chestnut roast goose you made is really delicious. What Xiaoyu said is absolutely right."

"I like to eat. There are a few big geese in the pen."

Xu Hongyu picked up a piece of meat with less bones and put it in Yun Jiaojiao's bowl.

"Whenever you want to eat it, ask your dad to kill it again."

"Pfft!"

After Xu Hongyu finished speaking, Xie Jiaxin couldn't help but chuckle.

Yun Jiaojiao looked at her sister-in-law curiously: "Jiaxin, what are you laughing at?"

Xie Jiaxin raised her head and answered: "I laugh at my second brother."

"Half a month ago, it snowed and my second brother asked my mother to slaughter a goose, but she scolded him."

"Mom said geese are used to guard the house and lay eggs."

"Sister-in-law, Mom is so good to you."

"Yes, Mom is so good to me."

Yun Jiaojiao took over Xie Jiaxin's words with a smile on her face.

"Mom is the best mother-in-law in the world."

"It is my blessing that I can marry Zhennan and become my mother's daughter-in-law in this life."

"When my parents get old and can no longer work in the fields, Zhennan and I will bring them to Jiangcheng, and then our family will be reunited there."

"Hey."

Xu Hongyu picked up another large piece of goose meat and put it into Yun Jiaojiao's bowl.

"When the time comes, your father and I will take care of the children, cook and do the housework for you. You and Zhennan can just focus on your work."

After a happy dinner, Xie Ping'an, Song Qingmin and Xie Zhennan took the initiative to take charge of washing dishes and cleaning.

Xu Hongyu, Tian Juying, Yun Jiaojiao and other women accompanied Cao Heping and his wife to chat in the main room.

By the time Xie Ping'an, Song Qingmin and Xie Zhennan finished cleaning the kitchen and returned to the main room, it was already late.

Song Siyu turned on the light in the living room.

The three families sat around the brazier, and Xie Ping'an was looking through the almanac in his hand.

After a while, Xie Ping'an handed the almanac to Song Qingmin.

"The fifth day of the first lunar month is a good day, a rare good day in ten years, suitable for marriage. However, time is a bit tight. I only have four days to prepare for the wedding. I don't know if I can make it in time."

"There's enough time."

Cao Yunze spoke excitedly before Song Qingmin.

"I have already prepared the betrothal gifts."

"Early tomorrow morning, I'll take Sixiao, my parents, and go to Yunshan County to buy wedding clothes, bedding, wedding candy, peanuts, fruits, and firecrackers for the wedding."

"As for the pig for the banquet, buy one from Daoxiangtun."
