~8 min read 1,487 words

Su Qianyue said shyly, "Hmm, I'll wait for you to come back."

After the two finished eating, Pei Huaiye took out the gifts one by one, "Friendship snow cream is yours, clam oil is for your sister-in-law and little sister; I remember you bought this plaster for your father's back pain, I bought ten more; two cans of malted milk for the whole family to supplement, you like canned fruit, eat more, the rest of the snacks are bought for Su Zhuangzhuang."

Su Qianyue slowly leaned her head on Pei Huaiye's shoulder and complained, "It's not like you're not coming back, why buy so many things."

Pei Huaiye hugged her tightly, stroking her slim waist, his voice gradually becoming hoarse, "This is to perform better in front of your family."

After the sky was completely dark, the two hid in the night and said many moving love words, and only then did they part reluctantly.

Su Qianyue carried the things home and was hugged by little Zhuangzhuang on her thigh.

"Auntie, you bought me food again, I can smell the fragrance of fried dough twists." Su Qianyue couldn't laugh or cry, took out the fried dough twists from the paper bag and distributed them to everyone, and said with a shy face, "These were all bought by him."

Su Mingqiang choked while eating, and hurriedly handed the twist in his hand to Su Qingxi, "You eat, I don't like twists."

"Dad, he knows your waist is bad, this is the plaster he bought for you." Su Mingqiang's waist basically didn't hurt after the last acupuncture, and he only applied plaster occasionally when he was tired.

Ten plasters cost a lot of money.

Su Qianyue took out other things one by one, Su Qingxi held the clam oil, "Sister, can I really use it?"

"Yes, quietly, don't tell anyone. If anyone asks, just say I bought it."

Su Qianyue looked at her sister-in-law's hesitant expression and hurriedly explained, "Sister-in-law, my marriage has already been broken off. I went to get the letter today, and my adoptive parents have agreed to let Su Qianqian marry Shen Xunbao."

Su Mingqiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Your adoptive parents didn't blame you, right?"

"Not in the letter, but Su Qianqian's wedding, they probably won't come."

"Don't use these things first, tomorrow Qingwu will find an opportunity to send them back to Pei Huaiye. You are not married and both parents haven't recognized it, it's not appropriate to accept people's things."

"Dad, he is going on a business trip tomorrow, these are just his intentions. He just wants you to accept him. When he comes back from the business trip, he will come to propose."

Su Mingqiang's attitude was tough, "Acceptance is not buying people's hearts with gifts. Yue, people see people over time, you should calm down these few days. Their family has a bad relationship and hasn't separated yet. If you marry over at this time, you will be angry three times a day."

Su Qianyue wanted to say something else but was blocked by Li Zilan, "Dad's words all make sense, the Pei family's family affairs are very chaotic, I will talk to her well, Dad, you go to rest quickly."

After Su Mingqiang returned to the room, Li Zilan pulled Su Qianyue to the courtyard to talk about private matters.

Su Zhuangzhuang and Su Qingxi followed out on the left and right, and were scolded by Li Zilan to go back to sleep.

"Pei Huaiye is indeed good to you, but do you know that he has to hand over most of his salary to his parents every month? What will you spend after you marry over?"

"His parents are fierce and only have their youngest son in their eyes, his younger brother is lazy, and his younger sister-in-law Zhang Dongmei is a well-known shrew."

"Is it the woman who quarreled with Xiang Shishui when collecting vegetables these few mornings?" Su Qianyue remembered her, her quarreling voice was very loud.

"It's her, deliberately sprinkling water on the small bok choy to increase the weight, and didn't change it after being told two or three times, which was why she was taught a lesson by Brigade Captain Xiang's family."

Li Zilan sighed, "Mainly you can't marry over and live in Pei Huaiye's thatched cottage. Qianyue, don't be anxious, wait for Pei Huaiye to come back, see how he handles the relationship with his family, we absolutely cannot watch you suffer."

Su Qianyue believed that Pei Huaiye wouldn't let her suffer. After listening to her sister-in-law's words, she felt even more sorry for Pei Huaiye, growing up in such a family, how much hardship must he have suffered.

Pei Huaiye set off early in the morning. Li Cuiyan put down the hoe, her gaze chasing that charming back tightly. Besides her, Shen Xunbao also looked at Pei Huaiye from afar.

Su Qianqian brought an enamel cup of water to Shen Xunbao, "Brother Shen, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing, hurry up and work."

Su Qianqian's eyes rolled and she immediately thought of something, walking over in three or two steps, "Cuiyan, your embroidery is the best in our village, I want to ask you to help me embroider the bridal clothes."

Su Qianqian often bought vegetables in her own vegetable garden, Li Cuiyan smiled and replied, "Okay Qianqian, come find me after work, I'll teach you."

The two were of similar age and chatted like close sisters who had known each other for eight hundred years before long.

After work at noon, Su Qianqian and Li Cuiyan walked back arm in arm, talking and laughing.

"Qianqian, I heard your house is very big, when are you getting married?"

"Isn't the new house just built recently? Let it dry for a few days, and we will live in it after we get married in half a month. I will invite you to drink wedding wine then."

Li Cuiyan looked envious, "Educated Youth Shen is really good to you, buying you a bicycle and building you a big house."

Su Qianqian covered her mouth and smiled, "Who told us we are in love." She changed the subject and said mysteriously, "However, this man, after all, still needs some means to be wholeheartedly with you."

Li Cuiyan blushed, "Qianqian, actually I..."

"Actually you like Pei Huaiye, I saw it a long time ago."

"Ah, can you see it?" Li Cuiyan blushed and then started to be disappointed, "But he doesn't like me."

"With Su Qianyue there for a day, he certainly won't like you." Su Qianqian said categorically.

"Su Qianyue?! No way." Li Cuiyan shook her head. Pei Huaiye was cold and ruthless and didn't pay attention to anyone, "Never seen him have any entanglement with Su Qianyue. Saving people last time doesn't explain anything. He is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He saved me when he was a child, and he still didn't pay attention to me later."

"Cuiyan, you are naive and don't believe it. What kind of person is Su Qianyue? She dresses up like a vixen every day. Since that time in the cornfield, she has been flirting and seducing Pei Huaiye. If you don't believe it, you can go and probe."

Su Qianqian whispered some "valuable" ideas to Li Cuiyan.

Pei Huaiye had just left, and Pei Fugui took Pei Huaigang to his thatched cottage.

Pei Huaigang looked around and poked a hole in the window, "Dad, look, he is hiding from us and bought a bicycle, and covered it with a cloth."

"Your bicycle has been ridden for two or three years and is old. When your eldest brother comes back, let him change the new bicycle for you."

Pei Huaigang nodded, "The previous bicycle will be kept for Dad to use. At noon, I will let Dongmei cook meat for Dad, to honor you and Mom."

"This way our family will have two bicycles, you are still the most filial."

The two talked as they walked, and didn't expect to meet Li Cuiyan directly.

"Uncle Pei, Huaigang, you are off work too." Li Cuiyan greeted obediently.

"Cuiyan, are you here to find Pei Huaiye? It's a coincidence, this unfilial son went on a business trip without even telling us."

Li Cuiyan lowered her head shyly, "Uncle Pei, I'm just passing by. Take these vegetables back for you and Auntie to eat."

Pei Fugui immediately smiled until his eyes narrowed. The basket contained cucumbers, tomatoes, small bok choy, and green beans, totaling more than ten jin of vegetables.

He immediately smiled until his eyes narrowed, "Cuiyan, you are a filial and generous good girl. Our Pei family likes such women to be daughters-in-law."

Li Cuiyan's eyes lit up, and her whole person was shy and happy, walking as if floating.

Su Qianqian's method was really useful, she must strive to marry Pei Huaiye!
