After the separation, I took my whole family to eat delicious food and drink spicy

Ever since the crayfish got sick, the villagers have become more and more trusting of Li Xiaoxiao.

From time to time, they would bring some vegetables, fruits, eggs, etc. from their own homes and give them to Li Xiaoxiao. Seeing that they were not expensive and were a token of the villagers' kindness, Li Xiaoxiao naturally accepted them.

Li Xiaoxiao discovered that since that day, Li Jia, the eldest daughter of Aunt Zhang in the village, would send things to their home from time to time, and would occasionally stay to chat with her. Li Xiaoxiao felt a little puzzled. She was not very familiar with her, and their previous interactions were just a greeting. Li Jia's actions confused Li Xiaoxiao.

But when she is free, Li Xiaoxiao is still willing to chat with Li Jia.

That day, Li Jia came to Li Xiaoxiao's house again and brought some pastries she made herself.

"Sister Jia, why are you here again and bring so much food?" Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

Li Jia blushed slightly, lowered her head and said softly, "I just wanted to come see you. You helped our family so much last time, I don't know how to thank you. I made these cakes myself, try them and see if you like them."

Li Xiaoxiao took the cake and tasted it. It tasted really good. She praised: "Sister Jia, you are really good at cooking. This cake is really delicious."

Li Jia was very happy to hear this, and the two chatted for a long time. Li Xiaoxiao then discovered that Li Jia was actually a very interesting person, and they had many common topics.

As time went by, Li Jia came to see Li Xiaoxiao more and more frequently, and their relationship became closer and closer. And Li Xiaoxiao gradually understood Li Jia's feelings...

"Mom, have you noticed that there's something wrong with the way Sister Li Jia looks at my uncle?" Li Xiaoxiao, who was busy in the kitchen, asked Mrs. Bai.

Mrs. Bai smiled and joked, "You little brat, you have sharp eyes. I've noticed a long time ago that Miss Li Jia might be interested in your uncle."

Li Xiaoxiao asked in surprise: "Really? Does my uncle know about this?"

Mrs. Bai shook her head and said, "Looking at his stupid head, I guess he hasn't realized what the girl is thinking yet."

Li Xiaoxiao's eyes turned and she decided to help Li Jia. She found Li Jia, secretly told her her discovery, and encouraged her to confess her love to her uncle.

After hearing this, Li Jia's face turned red to her ears, but she felt a little more courageous.

After hesitating for a few days, Li Jia finally plucked up the courage to find Bai Jing.

She took advantage of Bai Jing being alone in the shrimp farm and came to the shrimp farm.

Seeing Bai Jing busy cleaning up the debris in the shrimp field, Li Jia walked over nervously, called Bai Jing, lowered his head, and stammered out his feelings.

After hearing this, Bai Jing was stunned for a moment, then a surprised smile appeared on his face. He gently took Li Jia's hand and said, "Actually, I have always liked you."

"Really?" Li Jia asked happily.

"Of course, you often hang around our house and often look at me secretly. I know everything..." Bai Jing said with a smile as he looked at Li Jia in front of him.

After hearing what Bai Jing said, Li Jia's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and smiled shyly.

Bai Jing gently stroked her hand and said, "Let me take care of you from now on." Li Jia raised her head and looked at Bai Jing, her eyes full of happiness. She nodded and said to Bai Jing, "Well, I believe you."

From then on, Li Jia and Bai Jing confirmed their relationship. For the sake of Li Jia's reputation, Bai Jing sought Bai's opinion and returned home again. He told his mother Wang about his relationship with Li Jia. Wang naturally agreed after hearing it. Bai Jing is already 21 years old this year. If the marriage can be settled, that would naturally be the best.

The next morning, Wang prepared gifts and took the matchmaker and Bai Jing to Aunt Zhang's house to propose marriage.

Bai Dong, Bai Shi, and Li Xiaoxiao also went with them. When they arrived at Aunt Zhang's house, they explained their purpose. The matchmaker praised Bai Jing and Li Jia profusely, making both families very happy. They set a wedding date on the spot, saying that the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month was an auspicious date. Although the weather was cold, it was a great occasion for a happy occasion. Both families agreed, and the two exchanged engagement letters, confirming the marriage. Aunt Zhang even gave the matchmaker a large red envelope, which made her extremely happy.

At noon, Aunt Zhang prepared a sumptuous meal to entertain the Wang and Bai families. Even Li Fang, who was in school, was invited to have dinner together to celebrate this happy event.

At the dinner table, listening to the discussion between the two families, Li Fang finally realized that his uncle was going to marry Li Jia's sister, and he was happy for his uncle.

Normally, Li Fang would eat lunch at the school, and only on special days could he ask his teacher for leave to go home for lunch. After lunch at Aunt Zhang's house, Li Xiaoxiao said goodbye to everyone and sent Li Fang back to the school. Seeing that it was getting late, Wang also said goodbye to Aunt Zhang and her family, saying she had to rush back to Baishui Village.

On the way, Bai said to Wang, "Mom, why don't you stay at our house for a few days before going back?"

"No, there is still a lot of work to do at home. Mom will go back with Matchmaker Zhang and the others. Come back next time when you are free." Wang patted Bai's hand and said.

Seeing that her mother insisted on going back, Bai Shi said nothing more. She sent them all the way to the village entrance and then asked Bai Jing to drive the ox cart to take them to the ferry in town.

Ever since Bai Jing and Li Jia confirmed their relationship, they often work and take walks together, and their lives are filled with laughter.

The villagers were happy to see them so happy, and the happiest ones were none other than Aunt Zhang's family. Li Jia was already eighteen years old, which in ancient times would have been considered an old maid.

According to Bai, Li Jia had been engaged before, but the man died in an accident before they could get married. Later, the rumor spread in the village that Li Jia was unlucky, and after that, fewer and fewer people came to propose marriage. Aunt Zhang and her family saw this and were anxious. Although they were anxious for Li Jia's marriage, they couldn't say anything to her face. So, Li Jia waited from the age of fourteen to eighteen.

Li Xiaoxiao thought, it’s a good thing that Li Jia is open-minded, otherwise if it were someone else, they would definitely be depressed.

As time went by, Li Jia and Bai Jing's relationship became better and better. One day, after Bai Jing finished working in the fields, he mysteriously told Li Jia that he would take her to a place.

Li Jia curiously followed him to a vacant lot next to Li Xiaoxiao's house. Bai Jing pointed to the empty space in front of them and said, "This will be our new home. I plan to build a house here and we can live together."

Li Jia was so moved that her eyes became moist. She hugged Bai Jing tightly and said, "Thank you, Brother Jing."

Bai Jing patted her back gently and said, "Let's work together to make this home a better place."
