All four members of Cui'er's family came over. Cui'er's mother came to Da'an with a bundle in her hand and her eyes were red.

"My dear nephew, I'm going to the capital so soon, and my aunt doesn't have anything good to give you. Here are two pairs of new shoes, plus two belts, and two purses. Don't dislike them."

Cui'er's mother said, with a look of reluctance on her face.

Da'an quickly stood up, saluted and thanked Cui'er's parents.

"My nephew appreciates the kindness of my aunt and uncle, but I absolutely cannot accept these things. Auntie should leave them to my uncle!"

Da'an said, "Everyone knows that Dagagong's family of four has come here to seek refuge, so how can we ask for their gifts?"

When Cui'er's mother heard this, she said hurriedly: "Your cousin Cui'er and I made these shoes together. They are made according to the size of your feet. Your uncle can't fit them in."

"As for these elegant things like this belt and purse, at your uncle's age and status, they are ridiculous."

"Da'an, please accept it. If you don't accept it, you will be disgusted. Your aunt and your cousin Cui'er will be sad..."

Mother Cui'er held the bundle in her hands and brought it to Da'an, giving her earnest advice.

Cui'er's father was watching eagerly from the side.

Cui'er stood behind her parents, pursed her lips tightly, and looked at Daan with a pair of weak eyes locked in smoke.

There was a faint red color around the eye sockets, and the eyelashes were wet, obviously from crying.

Looking at this family, Da'an was in trouble and couldn't bear to refuse.

Then he turned his attention to Mrs. Sun.

Mrs. Sun walked over with a grateful look on her face and said to Cui'er and the others: "You are really thoughtful. This gift is handmade and is far more practical than the luxury goods bought with money outside. Why would you dislike it?

?It’s too late to like it!”

Sun said, and then said to Da'an: "Da'an, please accept it quickly!"

Hearing what his mother said, Da'an smiled and reached out to take the baggage, thanked Twee'er's parents and Twee'er again, and then turned around to greet the others.

Mrs. Sun called Cui'er's mother and the others to sit down. Cui'er followed her mother and walked towards the table step by step.

A pair of soft eyes are constantly looking for Daan in the crowd...

She was looking at Da'an, but there was another pair of eyes looking at her.

That's right, it was Mu Zichuan's mother, Widow Liu.

In the past few days, Widow Liu has been inquiring openly and secretly observing Cui'er, and even made two excused visits to Sun's house.

Every time I see Cui'er, she is almost always helping Huang Mao with Xiao Shunzi, or she is helping Xiao Jie clean the yard. She is busy with her feet without touching the ground. She is hard-working and rarely talks, with a smile on her face

docile.

Widow Liu fell in love with Cui Er more and more.

At this moment, Mrs. Sun happened to come over with Cui'er and her daughter, and sat down next to Widow Liu.

Widow Liu praised Cui'er for being well-behaved and sensible. Cui'er's mother responded with pride and quickly started chatting with Widow Liu.

Cui'er sat there obediently, full of thoughts.

She couldn't move her eyes away from Da'an's handsome face as he spoke there.

Cui'er felt very reluctant to let go, but no matter how reluctant she was, what reason would she have to keep her?

I have been waiting for my mother's plan, but until Brother Da'an left for the capital, my mother's plan has not yet been implemented.

Cui'er sat there, frowning slightly, her eyes filled with calculations...

Yang Ruoqing was also greeting the guests here. When she glanced around, she saw Mrs. Sun having fun with Cui'er and the others, laughing constantly.

Yang Ruoqing also curled her lips. In the past, when her brother went out, her mother would always show reluctance and her eyes would become swollen from crying.

But this time, because Xiaohua was with me, my mother felt much more at ease.

Especially when Yang Ruoqing told her privately that as long as Xiaohua went to the capital with her, there might be a baby in the family during the Chinese New Year.

Pursuing this goal, Mrs. Sun made up her mind to give Xiao Hua to Da'an even if it was forcible. When the time comes, the two of them will go to the capital, and the three of them will come back during the Chinese New Year. It's wonderful to think about it!

Just when she was about to look back, Yang Ruoqing paused.

I couldn't help but swipe at Cui'er's face, feeling a little suspicious.

"What's wrong with this girl Cui'er? Who neglected her or something? The side face she's sitting there looks so gloomy!"

Yang Ruoqing thought to herself, when she looked over again, Cui'er was tilting her head, smiling and listening to her mother and the others talking, her face was soft and gentle.

Was it an illusion just now?

No, it couldn't be an illusion, Yang Ruoqing believed her eyes.

At that moment before, Cui'er was really gloomy.

Before the banquet was about to begin, Daan suddenly stood up and walked to the backyard.

Here, Cui'er gritted her teeth and whispered to Cui'er's mother, who was having a great time chatting with her, "Mom, I'm going to the toilet."

"Go!" Cui'er's mother waved her hand casually, and Cui'er quickly lowered her head and walked around the crowd to the backyard.

There were three tables set up in the main room, where everyone was eating snacks and chatting about homemade things, while the children were still laughing and playing around.

Various sounds were mixed together, making it a bit noisy. No one noticed that after Da'an, there was another Cui'er missing in the main room.

But Yang Ruoqing noticed it.

As soon as his brother went to the backyard, Cui Er followed him out. What was she going to do?

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the main room. Xiaohua and Xiaoduo were busy cooking in the backyard kitchen to entertain the guests.

Because we are going to the capital tomorrow, Xiaohua, as the daughter-in-law, wants to prepare a meal to entertain everyone today.

The younger siblings don't have time to mind those Yingying Yanyan's nosy affairs, so Yang Ruoqing, the elder sister, naturally has to keep an eye on them more.

So, Yang Ruoqing followed quietly.

When they came to the backyard, they saw Cui'er going straight around the kitchen to the backyard.

The backyard of Yang Huazhong's family is quite large. Because Mr. Sun likes to grow vegetables, almost all of it has been chopped into vegetable gardens.

One piece after another, with a well in the middle.

The well is mainly used to irrigate these vegetable fields. In addition, there is a large bluestone slab next to the well, and a simple thatched shed is built above the well.

This is because it is inconvenient to go to the pond to fetch water or wash water on rainy days, so I wash it in the backyard, which has the same function as the patio in the middle of the old Yang family hall.

Because they washed some vegetables here today, the bluestone was a little slippery and moss had grown on it.

When Yang Ruoqing came over, she found Cui'er standing by the shed, stopping to look around.

But Da'an was nowhere to be seen nearby.

Is Cui'er looking for Da'an?

Why have you lost track of these few steps?

Yang Ruoqing was filled with curiosity. At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the backyard.

Yang Ruoqing looked up and saw that it was Daan coming from the back door. She suddenly realized that he must have drunk too much tea and had to urinate, so he went to the toilet outside the backyard to fill the water.

After playing for a while, I'll be back.
