That night, Xiu Xiu also couldn't sleep.

I tossed and turned in bed thinking about it all night, as if there were thousands of troops galloping in my mind.

Every scene of being with Li Wei, from their acquaintance to their engagement, for nearly two years, flashed through my mind so clearly tonight.

She took out from under the pillow a bracelet that Li Wei had given her during the last Chinese New Year, held it in her hand, and burst into tears again.

She had imagined living with Li Wei countless times, and Li Wei had described it to her over and over again.

Just like a painting, it was so beautiful that she wished she could grow wings immediately and fly until the end of the year, so that she could marry to Lijiacun and live in the same house where he had lived since childhood...

But when she was imagining these beautiful things, her father-in-law Li Yi's smiling face that gradually became ferocious suddenly jumped in front of her and opened his teeth and claws at her.

She was so frightened that she screamed, pulled the quilt to cover her face, hid in the quilt and shivered, and had no sleep all night.

When her mother Cao Bamei woke her up the next day, Xiuxiu was shocked when she saw herself in the mirror.

Cao Bamei, who entered the house with a broom and dustpan to sweep the floor, was shocked when she saw Xiuxiu's appearance.

"Daughter, what's wrong with you? Have you slept all night?" Cao Bamei asked in surprise.

But I don't think it's entirely right. The dark eyes and red bloodshot eyes are definitely from staying up late.

But these swollen eye bubbles and the extra layers of double eyelids are obviously from crying at night!

My daughter cried?

Did you cry all night?

Could it be possible that my daughter heard something?

At that moment, Cao Bamei was suddenly shocked, and she could no longer hold the broom in her hand.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to test a few words, the voice of the second daughter embroidering red came from the yard outside: "Mom, eldest sister, my eldest brother-in-law is here."

When they heard that the person coming was Li Wei, the mother and daughter in the room panicked at the same time.

The broom in Cao Bamei's hand fell to the ground.

Just as Xiuxiu was yawning and making the bed, the quilt stopped shaking. He just pulled the quilt over and re-clothed himself and lay back down.

"Mom, I don't want to see Li Wei like this, please help me send him away quickly." Xiuxiu said in a panic.

Only then did Cao Bamei come back to her senses.

"Oh, okay, okay!"

Cao Bamei turned around and left Xiuxiu's house and closed the door again.

In the yard, Li Wei greeted his aunt Xiu Hong who was sweeping the floor, took out a cricket made of thatch as a greeting gift to his brother-in-law, and then walked to Xiu Xiu's house in a familiar way.

Then, he saw Cao Bamei coming out of Xiuxiu's house, and she also opened the door.

"mother in law."

After a few steps, Li Wei stood still and took the initiative to greet Cao Bamei with a smile.

When Cao Bamei heard this voice, her body tensed up instinctively.

But she still turned around and forced out a stiff smile: "Xiaowei is here? It's so early. Is there anything you can do?"

Li Wei smiled and raised the things in his hands: "Yesterday, a family in our village killed a sheep. My father heard that sheep belly stewed chicken is good for children to eat, so he bought the sheep belly. Gastrodia impressed me.

My parents got up and killed the old hen in the backyard. After cleaning it, they sent me to bring it over to my brother-in-law to help him grow taller."

Following what Li Wei said, Cao Bamei realized that her son-in-law did not have empty hands, and was carrying something in both hands.

On the left hand is a pair of clean sheep tripe, tied with straw rope, milky white.

The water must have been filtered along the road at first, but the water was almost filtered along the way.

In his other hand, he was carrying an old hen that had been stripped of its feathers and gutted.

Whether it's a sheep's belly or an old hen, the quality or the weight are all outstanding.

What's more important is that cleaning the sheep's belly is always troublesome. It requires several times of scrubbing. In the process of scrubbing, you have to add wheat flour, earthwork ash, vinegar, wine and other stuff to remove the fishy smell, which is quite troublesome.

Nowadays, people buy complete sets and send them neatly. Even the old hens are killed, cleaned and sent away.

This friendship, this heart...

If they didn't really value the marriage between their children, who would spend so much effort and waste money giving food to unrelated people?

Cao Bamei said that she was unmoved, but that was a lie.

If it had been the past, he might have rushed forward to pick up the things, and would have asked a lot of questions and said a lot of thanks for Li Wei to take them back to his parents.

But at this moment, Cao Bamei was frozen in place. Although she kept smiling on her face, her hands showed no intention of picking up the things.

Cao Bamei's reaction made Li Wei confused.

"Mother-in-law, let me send the things to the kitchen first."

After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the front yard.

Although he has not officially become the son-in-law of the family, he knows everything about the plants and trees in the yard, who lives in every room, and what the spare rooms are used for!

It wasn't until Li Wei strode away with his things that Cao Bamei suddenly came back to her senses.

"Oops!" She slapped her thigh hard, and instead of chasing Li Wei, she turned around and ran towards her house.

Yang Yongjin had a heart-to-heart talk with her in bed last night and talked about how he was bothered about the Li family for the rest of the night. He couldn't sleep until late at night, so he still hadn't gotten out of bed yet.

Cao Bamei ran back to her room in a hurry and pushed Yang Yongjin awake, who was still snoring.

"Don't sleep, don't sleep, Xiaowei is here."

"Which Xiaowei?" Yang Yongjin was in a daze, unable to open his eyes.

"Who else could there be? Xiuxiu's fiancé, our family's soon-to-be son-in-law, Li Wei, the son of Li Yi from Lijia Village!"

Deer, when this long list of names was mentioned at once, Yang Yongjin lost all sleep and suddenly woke up.

"Why is he here? What is he here for?"

"It's said that his parents sent us sheep belly and old hens!"

"Ah? Where is that person?"

"Going to the kitchen!"

"Let me take a look!"

Yang Yongjin lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He didn't even bother to put on his coat and rushed out.

Cao Bamei chased after her with her coat, "It's cold in the morning, at least put on a coat, it won't last long!"

"Fine!"

Yang Yongjin took the coat and put it on his body, and at the same time asked Cao Bamei: "Where is our daughter? Does she know that Li Wei is coming?"

Cao Bamei said: "I was just about to tell you about this. My daughter may not have slept well last night, and her eyeballs were swollen into walnuts. When she heard Xiaowei coming, she hid under the quilt and refused to see him. She didn't know how to respond.

thing."

Yang Yongjin paused while putting on his clothes, and looked at Cao Bamei in horror: "Did you hear us talking?"

Cao Bamei said: "That's impossible. We hid and whispered. How could she have such long ears?"

"As long as it's not for that reason, then I'm not worried." Yang Yongjin said.

He put on his coat, went back into the house, grabbed the tea on the table and drank a few sips of it, so that there would be no peculiar smell in his mouth when he spoke.
