Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Yang Qingfeng hurriedly stuffed the bundle in his hand onto Huahua and said hurriedly, "This is a coming-of-age gift for you."

After saying that, Yang Qingfeng didn't have time to say anything else. He turned around and chased in the direction where Xiao Laoqi ran, shouting as he ran: "Xiao Laoqi, don't run, listen to my explanation!"

Huahua stared blankly at the bundle in her arms, her hands trembling slightly as she slowly opened it.

The first thing that caught her eye was a pink dress shimmering with pearls. The delicate fabric shone charmingly in the sunlight. Huahua couldn't help but gently stroke the soft fabric, her heart filled with surprise. There was also an exquisite box. She hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened it.

Inside was an exquisite pearl hairpin with a pink pearl inlaid on it.

At this moment, Huahua suddenly remembered Aunt Li saying that Yang Qingfeng made a new dress for the girl he liked. Could it be that the person he liked was her?

……

Yang Qingfeng chased Xiao Laoqi all the way, his feet flying as he crossed fields and bypassed ditches, his eyes fixed on the small figure in front of him.

"Xiao Laoqi, stop running!" Yang Qingfeng shouted loudly.

Little Laoqi didn't care and ran while crying, "I won't listen. I'm going to tell everyone that you bullied Sister Huahua!" Little Laoqi's face was covered with tears and his legs ran faster.

Finally, Yang Qingfeng rushed forward, picked up Xiao Laoqi, and held her tightly in his arms, preventing her from breaking free.

Little Lao Qi kept twisting and turning in Yang Qingfeng's arms, crying, "Let me go, let me go!"

Yang Qingfeng sighed helplessly and said, "Little Seven, stop making trouble. As long as you don't tell anyone, I'll give you all the peanut candies I bought last time I went to the city."

Hearing about the peanut candy, Little Seven's crying gradually subsided, and he sobbed, "Really? You can't lie to me."

Yang Qingfeng smiled and said, "Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Just like that, Xiao Laoqi was bribed by Yang Qingfeng with peanut candy.

Xiuying paced back and forth at home, the scene of Xiao Laoliu saying those embarrassing words in front of Mrs. Sun kept appearing in her mind. Her brows were furrowed and she was full of worry.

Xiuying stopped and sighed softly. Although children say nothing, as a mother, she cannot be ignorant.

Xiuying walked over to Xiao Laoliu, squatted down, and said seriously: "Xiao Laoliu, no matter how much you hate someone in your heart, don't say it easily. It's impolite, okay?" There was a hint of severity in Xiuying's eyes, but her tone was still gentle.

Little Six blinked his eyes, nodded as if he understood, then tilted his head and asked, "What if you like someone?"

Little Laoliu's eyes were full of curiosity, and his little face was full of doubts.

When Xiuying heard Xiao Laoliu's question, she couldn't help but smile. That smile was as warm as a spring breeze. She reached out and gently touched Xiao Laoliu's head, and slowly said, "If you like someone, of course you should say it out loud."

After hearing this, Xiao Laoliu's face lit up with a brilliant smile. He immediately threw himself into Xiuying's arms and said loudly, "I love my mother the most."

Xiuying laughed heartily at Xiao Laoliu's behavior. She hugged Xiao Laoliu tightly in her arms, and said with a heart full of love for Xiao Laoliu, "Mother also likes Xiao Laoliu the most."

Xiuying called the servants, who brought five fat hens and two baskets full of pork. She then personally took these things to Sun Dasao's house.

She couldn't have gotten to where she is today without the constant support of Mrs. Sun. Huahua's coming-of-age ceremony was the day after tomorrow, and she had to show some appreciation without losing her manners. Xiuying quickened her pace, mentally pondering how she would approach Mrs. Sun's house.

Arriving outside of Mrs. Sun's courtyard, Wang Daya stepped forward, stretched out her hand and knocked on the gate, and shouted loudly: "Mrs. Sun, our wife Xiuying is here, please open the door."

Mrs. Sun, who was busy peeling bamboo shoots in the yard, heard the call and quickly put down her work. While wiping her hands on her apron, she responded, "I'm coming."

Mrs. Sun opened the gate and saw Xiuying standing at the door. She said enthusiastically, "Sister Xiuying, come in quickly. What brings you here?" Mrs. Sun stepped aside to make way and gestured for Xiuying to come in, her eyes full of joy.

As Xiuying walked into the courtyard, she heard the crisp sound of the system.

Ding Dong, ten kilograms of wild, natural, pollution-free bamboo shoots were detected. Would you like to sell them?

The sudden sound startled Xiuying, but she remained calm and quietly opened the panel to see that the tall bamboo shoots were indeed in the purchase column, and the price was 31 kilograms.

Xiuying quickly nodded no, otherwise these tall bamboo shoots would disappear out of thin air and scare everyone.

The attentive Mrs. Sun saw Xiuying staring at the bamboo shoots in the basket, and hurriedly said, "Sister, there are a lot of bamboo shoots growing in the pond on the back mountain. Huahua picked some and brought them back. You can take some back to stir-fry with meat. These bamboo shoots are delicious." Mrs. Sun picked up a few bamboo shoots and said as she did so, a simple smile on her face.

Xiuying quickly waved her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, this won't do. I didn't come here today for this." Xiuying's eyes moved away from the tall bamboo shoots.

Wang Daya and her servants carefully put down the chicken and meat in the basket.

Xiuying stepped forward and said with a smile, "Huahua will be coming of age the day after tomorrow, and I don't have much to give. These are some food, just as a little extra for Huahua's coming-of-age gift. You must accept them."

When Mrs. Sun heard this, she quickly declined, "Oh, Sister Xiuying, you are too polite. How can I accept this?"

Mrs. Sun's face showed a mixture of surprise and embarrassment, her hands waving in front of her. This wasn't just a simple meal, it was meat! Meat was even more precious than rice and eggs! Now that conditions in the village were better, many families could only eat meat once in a while!

Xiuying took Mrs. Sun's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you being so polite to me? I remember all the help you've given me over the years. If you don't accept this little gift, then you don't treat me as your sister."

Mrs. Sun nodded vigorously, tears of emotion flashing in her eyes, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Sister Xiuying, I will remember how good you have been to me." Mrs. Sun held Xiuying's hands tightly with both hands.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her excitement, and continued, "Over the years, our two families have helped each other and are as close as one family. If I don't accept your kindness, I will really let you down."

"From now on, the friendship between our two families will only grow deeper. Sister, if you need any help from me, just ask. I will definitely help you!"

Mrs. Sun looked at Xiuying with a determined gaze, thinking to herself: Although I had originally hoped to become in-laws with Xiuying's family, it seems that this fate is no longer possible. But it doesn't matter. If we can't become in-laws, then we can just be sisters.
