[Hahahaha, this is hilarious! Grandma Lin, you're such a good conversationalist!]

[But Grandma has such good taste! They're such a perfect match!!!]

[Yeah, that's how I am when I ship couples, I'm serious...]

Grandma Lin is right, hahaha, little Lu is really good.

[Grandma Lin, I'm not kidding, you're sitting at the head table at my partner's wedding, hahaha]

[Why does it seem like Brother Lu knows all along? He even asked on purpose. His little trick, hehehe]

"It's nothing, we were just chatting, haha." Shen Shiqing laughed awkwardly.

The three people sat on a stone bench under the grape trellis.

Several bunches of grapes were laid out on the table; they had just been picked from the vine and were very fresh and sweet.

On the plate were some wild fruits that Lu Jing had just picked, washed very clean, with water droplets glistening in the moonlight.

"Does Teacher Lu still pick wild fruits?"

"Teacher Shen teaches well."

"Let me try it." Shen Shiqing picked one up randomly and was about to put it in her mouth when Lu Jingchu interrupted her.

"Why don't you eat it? It might not taste very good." Lu Jingchu had tried it himself; it wasn't very sweet and was quite astringent, since he rarely picked them.

"It's okay, I'll try." Shen Shiqing took a bite.

"How could it not taste good if Lu Jingchu picked it first?"

Two seconds passed.

"Hmm, it doesn't seem to taste very good. Does Lu Jingchu ever make a mistake?"

"Of course, there are times when I make mistakes," Lu Jingchu thought.

"It's pretty good, the taste is not bad." Shen Shiqing began to lie through his teeth.

As he spoke, he took another bite.

"It's really good." As if afraid Lu Jingchu wouldn't believe her, Shen Shiqing finished the last bite.

Lu Jingchu smiled at her and handed the water to Shen Shiqing.

"Um, thank you, Teacher Lu." Shen Shiqing quickly took the water and drank a big gulp.

Grandma Lin came out of the house and found them some clothes.

"Little Shen, Little Lu, Grandma rummaged through the closet and found these clothes. They're brand new. My husband and I only wore them once when we were young. If you don't mind, you can put them on." Grandma Lin touched the clothes, her face beaming with happiness.

Lu Jingchu and Shen Shiqing naturally didn't mind and both accepted the clothes handed to them by Grandma Lin.

While Shen Shiqing went to take a bath, Lu Jingchu helped Grandma Lin chop a large pile of firewood, splitting each piece into several smaller pieces for easier burning.

Grandma Lin stood to the side, praising him incessantly, making Lu Jingchu feel a little embarrassed.

When Shen Shiqing came out after taking a bath, he put on the clothes that Grandma Lin had given him. They were made of cotton and linen, felt very comfortable to the touch, and seemed to be handmade. They were also embroidered with osmanthus patterns, making them look fresh and elegant.

The simple style made Shen Shiqing appear gentle and elegant, lacking some of her sharpness.

Shen Shiqing thought the outfit was very nice, especially in the countryside, and with the cicadas chirping at night, it seemed to have an even better feel to it.

Shen Shiqing also washed her hair, which was then wrapped in a towel and piled high on her head, except for some stray hairs on her forehead that she couldn't get up.

"Oh my, it fits quite well, it suits Xiao Shen perfectly, right, Xiao Lu?" Grandma Lin turned around and asked Lu Jingchu.

"Yes, it looks very good." Lu Jingchu's Adam's apple bobbed, and then her gaze returned to the ground.

[Shi Jie looks so gentle and serene in this outfit, it's like my dream!]

This pastoral style suits Shi Jie very well; she looks beautiful, like a lotus emerging from water!

[I love it so much!!! How can someone look so good in just ordinary linen clothes? I'm so jealous!!!]

She had a towel wrapped around her head... but the moment she came out, all I saw was her... face... wow, she's really good at fighting... amazing...

How could it not be beautiful? Even Movie Emperor Lu was stunned, hahaha! Movie Emperor Lu's confirmation of its beauty~

Shen Shiqing came to Grandma Lin's side, and the two sat under the grape trellis and chatted.

Lu Jingchu then went to take a bath.

The sound of rushing water mingled with the chirping of cicadas, creating a symphony of summer.

When Lu Jingchu came out, his hair was wet and dripping water. Even when he casually picked up a towel to dry his hair, it was still incredibly alluring.

It's natural and very attractive.

Sure enough, the moment a guy comes out of the shower is when he looks the most handsome.

Shen Shiqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

At least that's how it applies to Lu Jingchu.

I was stunned.

[Holy crap, thank you so much to the 10-Day Wilderness Survival show crew!!! I can't believe I got to see Lu Yingdi come out of the shower in my lifetime!!!]

[If you repeat "10-day wilderness survival" 100 times, you deserve to be honored at the Imperial Ancestral Temple!!!]

[Don't even mention me, Sister Shi was completely stunned, hahaha]

[Don't be shy, Mr. Best Actor! Is there anything I can't see? (drooling)]

[This is so beautiful, I'll remember this scene for the rest of my life!!! Okay, I'll dream about this tonight, hehehe]

"Hey, it fits Xiao Lu quite well in it."

"Thank you, Grandma Lin." Lu Jingchu sat down next to Shen Shiqing.

"You both look great in these, they remind me of my old man at home," Grandma Lin said, her gaze lingering on the two of them.

Before Shen Shiqing and the others could ask, Grandma Lin had already started talking to herself.

“The old man and I have known each other since we were little. He was an orphan who grew up eating food from many families. But he grew up quickly and tall, and he started working to earn money when he was very young.”

“He’s three years older than me. I met him when he was eight and I was five. At that time, he was doing odd jobs at my house, trying to earn a living. I handed him a fried dough stick, and he looked up at me with bright eyes, grinned at me, and whispered thank you. From then on, we officially became acquainted.”

“He always lived in that dilapidated temple at the end of the village, and I often went to visit him. We became familiar with each other over time. Until he turned 18, and I was 15.”

“My parents have passed away, and there is only a snobbish uncle in my family. He wants to sell me and marry me off to that rich but foolish old man in the village.”

Grandma Lin paused for a moment, then smiled.

"And then?" Shen Shiqing asked, somewhat annoyed. Grandma Lin must have had such a difficult time back then. "Did Grandpa come looking for you?"

"Later, he heard rumors and immediately came to find me. At that time, I was locked in the house and couldn't get out, so he pried open the window in the middle of the night and ran out with me."

“During that time, I lived with him in that dilapidated temple. Life was tough, but I was happy to be with him. I would stay inside the temple and not go out, while he would work hard every day to earn money to buy me good food.”

"A month passed like that. During that time, he left early and came home late, but he never neglected me. I was afraid of being discovered and implicating him if I stayed any longer, so I wanted to leave, but he was very stubborn and just wouldn't go."

"It was a summer night, when everyone in the village was fast asleep. He packed his things and left with me overnight."

"Is this where we ended up?" Shen Shiqing guessed that was the case.

"Yes, this is it. The village is very far from here, and we didn't arrive until dawn. But he had already prepared everything. I don't know when the house was built, and it was a bit small at the time, but he built it bit by bit, and I was very happy. Later, we got married, and I don't know where he learned to write marriage certificates. His handwriting was crooked and messy, but I liked it very much. He never went to school, and I don't know how long he secretly studied."

"We've lived here ever since, for 50 years now. Every brick and tile here was made by him. He built the grape trellis, he cultivated the land, he built the fence, he cultivated the vegetable garden, and he even made the small pond behind the house himself."

“He never lets me do any work. If I move, he will be very nice and ask me to watch over him. He also made the gravel road day by day, saying it was to make it easier for me to walk on, and that he was afraid I would fall because it was muddy and slippery on rainy days.”

"He also took care of the vegetable garden. He brought back many kinds of seeds from outside, and also two dogs. The current Dahuang is their descendant."

“He always works very hard outside and earns some money. Besides buying me delicious food, he puts all the rest of the money with me. I don’t need it at all. He just wants to put my mind at ease.”

"Whenever he had free time, he would start building houses. The houses got bigger and better and better, and so did his life, which got better and better."

“We’ve lived together for so many years, and he’s never raised his voice at me. He always goes along with me. Look at me now, I can’t even cook well. It’s all because he spoiled me.”

“No, Grandma’s cooking is pretty good, right?” Shen Shiqing looked at Lu Jingchu.

“Yes, Grandma’s cooking is delicious.” Lu Jingchu understood Shen Shiqing’s intention.

"You two are always trying to make me happy. Sometimes I insist on cooking, and he can't resist, so he just watches from the side. Even if I burn the food, he laughs and eats it all, like a fool."

Grandma Lin spoke of the past with a big smile on her face.

“We have two children, a son and a daughter, and he sacrificed a lot for both of them. Now both children are very successful and have settled down and started their own families in the city. After the old man passed away, they wanted to take me to live with them, but I tried and it didn’t work out.”

Grandma Lin sighed, "No way, how can I leave him alone on this mountain? Who will he talk to, all by himself?"

“The child has no choice but to go along with me, but he comes to see me every month, and he’s also happy because of Da Huang (my dog).

"Learn from the old man to do some work, plant some crops, cook some dishes, just like he's still here."

Grandma Lin recounted her experiences with a smile on her face, her eyes welling up with tears.

[Sobbing, the love stories of the older generation are making me cry so much!]

My grandparents are the same way; they've been together their whole lives and never had a single argument. I'm so envious!

[Grandpa is so responsible! I pray God will grant me a boyfriend like him, *crying emoji*]

Today is Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day)... I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I'm crying even harder, waa ...

[Sister, so sad, I feel for you. Other people's love is so much better. I just sent him a Qixi Festival red envelope today and he broke up with me...]

[Holy crap, this guy is too ruthless!!! Sisters, we need to get our money back!!!]

After hearing Grandma Lin's story, I've already cried through a whole pack of tissues... and I just got cheated on...

[Damn it!!! That scumbag should die!!!]
