Gu Qingqing chatted with her grandmother for a while. They didn't let her help with wrapping the wedding candies, and she felt a little restless. She went back to her room but couldn't sleep, so she went to the kitchen.

Gu Jin and Gu Yin were helping to prepare the tofu boxes and pack the tofu. Gu Tiezhu was using chopsticks to pick up the bean curd skin hanging on the edge of the wooden barrel and hanging it on the bamboo pole by the window. He was a little surprised to see her coming.

"My dear?"

"Grandpa." Gu Qingqing sat down beside the firewood with a dejected look and added fire to the extinguished stove.

Gu Tiezhu originally wanted to talk about the firewood he had just discarded, but seeing that his granddaughter was distracted, he swallowed his words.

He dragged a small stool and sat next to Gu Qingqing, touched the cigarette holder, and put it back on his waist.

Gu Jin and Gu Yin came over to pack tofu again. The tofu box had been taken out and weighed down with stones.

"My dear." Gu Jin stopped what he was doing, smiled innocently and asked his daughter, "Would you like some persimmon cakes? Daddy will give you some."

Gu Qingqing came back to her senses, "I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes."

"Hey!" Gu Jin quickly went to the storage room and scooped out a handful of tofu for her and put it on the stove. "If you have any questions, tell Dad. Dad is here. If you are tired, go to sleep and don't wait for your brother and the others. Don't worry, I left some tofu pudding for them."

Gu Qingqing placed the dried sweet potatoes on the tongs, next to the fire.

She nodded, "I know, Dad, you don't have to worry about me."

Seeing that she was really fine, Gu Jin looked at her a few times, winked at his father, and continued to play to her.

The dried sweet potatoes became soft and sweet after being roasted for a while. Gu Qingqing took a piece and handed it to Gu Tiezhu next to her, "Grandpa, please have some."

"Hey." Gu Tiezhu took it and took a big bite without hesitation.

"Grandpa." Gu Qingqing couldn't help but remind him, "I didn't shake off the dust just now."

"It's all wood ash, don't be afraid, Hao Yizhen used it to prescribe medicine before." Gu Tiezhu chewed slowly and asked vaguely: "Adai has never bullied you, right?"

Gu Qingqing shook her head.

"Is he nice to you?"

Gu Qingqing nodded, and smiled as she thought of something.

"His allowance is all with me."

Gu Tiezhu also smiled with a grin on his face: "My granddaughter, why are you obsessed with money? You little money-grubber."

The melancholy in Gu Qingqing's heart disappeared in the laughter. After eating, she went to get hot water to wash her face, said hello to her grandfather, father and second uncle, and went back to the house.

After changing her clothes, she sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard, looking through the window at the brightly lit yard outside and the red wedding characters pasted everywhere. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Reluctance, anticipation, a little bit of everything, and some unknown emotions.

The whole family was busy for her. Gu Qingqing hugged the pillow, leaned forward on the bed with the pillow pressed against her body, and saw a faint light coming through the gap in the door.

Her eyelids gradually drooped, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep in a daze.

In her dream she seemed to hear her brothers' laughter in the yard. She wanted to open her eyes, but she was too sleepy.

After washing his hands, Chu Dai went back to the room to get clothes to take a shower. His body was soaked.

When I opened the door, I saw that the room was dark and there was only the sound of the girl's light breathing.

He has extremely sharp hearing and can detect even the slightest sound, which is the result of long-term jungle combat training.

The man walked to the bed with light footsteps and found that the girl was sleeping sitting up with her body leaning forward and hugging the pillow. He reached out and gently patted her back: "Qingqing?"

There was no response for a long time.

"Wife."

"Hmm?" Gu Qingqing closed her eyes in a daze.

Chu Dai couldn't help laughing. He moved a little further away from the quilt, fearing that water would drip onto it. "How did you fall asleep like this? Didn't you bring the charcoal stove in?"

"I'm so sleepy," Gu Qingqing drowsily stood up and tried to hug his waist, but Chu Dai stretched out his hand to stop her, "I haven't taken a shower yet."

Gu Qingqing suddenly perked up. She got up and fumbled for the cotton shirt beside her. "I'll help you wash it."

Chu Dai: “?” He looked inquiringly.

Gu Qingqing said as a matter of course: "Tomorrow we will... You don't have to be shy, I will go in first, and you can bring water in later, so that no one will find out."

Chu Dai understood what she meant and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's the last day, please be more restrained, I'm afraid you will be embarrassed."

"I can't!" Gu Qingqing said firmly, "I'll help you wash it!"

Chu Dai looked at her deeply and said, "Okay." Then he pushed her back into the quilt. In her dissatisfied look, he said slowly, "Wait, I'll bring some water in."

Gu Qingqing immediately became obedient.

"Okay." The big eyes sparkled and sparkled in the dark night.

Chu Dai snorted and laughed, shook his head, pushed the door open and went out, not forgetting to close it tightly.

He first went to the kitchen to get a charcoal stove, put some red charcoal from the burnt firewood in the stove, and then added more charcoal from the pot next to it.

"Adai." Chu Zhao had just come out of the shower. He had carried too many tables today and was exhausted. He had just gone to pick snails and now his waist hurt when he bent. He was planning to go to the kitchen to get a cup of hot water and then go back to his room to sleep.

"Yeah." Chu Dai stood up, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. You're all wet. Why don't you take a shower? There's hot water in the pot."

"Wash it later."

"Okay, I'll go back to my room and sleep first. I'll have to run errands for you tomorrow."

"Okay," Chu Dai smiled, "It's hard work, brother."

"Hey, as long as you can do this much for me next time I get married, we won't have to say so many polite words as brothers. Let's go."

"good."

After he left, Chu Dai brought in a wooden bucket filled with cold water from the water pump outside, and scooped hot water from the pot with a wooden ladle. After mixing the two, he returned to the house holding the wooden bucket in his left hand and the charcoal stove in his right hand.

Gu Qingqing had been waiting in the room for a long time. She wanted to turn on the light, but Chu Dai wouldn't let her.

The man took a dry towel from the closet and threw it into the barrel, then took off his coat and watch.

Seeing him raising his hand to touch the hem of his shirt, Gu Qingqing sat on the bed and looked at him expectantly.

Chu Dai chuckled and unbuttoned his clothes as she wished.

Gu Qingqing once again saw the ugly scar on his waist, which looked even more frightening in the light of the fire.

This time, Chu Dai didn't ask her if she was afraid, because he knew that as long as he lowered his head, he would see the heartache in her eyes.

The man's white and slender fingers slowly unbuttoned the belt buckle. He slowly pulled out the belt, hung it on a chair beside him, and casually took off his trousers.

In the end, what was left was taken off under her impatient gaze.

Gu Qingqing stood up, picked up a wet towel from the wooden barrel with her slender hands, wrung it dry, half-knelt and looked up at the man who was standing beside the bed with his head lowered and smiling.

The towel in her hand slowly began to wipe his eyebrows. She still remembered that it was because of his eyebrows that she wanted to go to the Corps to see him in the beginning.

The man had a pair of beautiful sword-like eyebrows that slanted into his temples. His eyes were fierce and aggressive when she first saw them, but later they became softer and softer in front of her, turning into a pool of spring water.

Going down along his straight nose to his chin, the man's Adam's apple rolled a little. Gu Qingqing couldn't hold back her feelings and slid down faster and faster.

He grabbed it and said, "Take your time."

Gu Qingqing had to slow down her movements and gently wiped the scar on his waist. She knelt down, blew on the wound, and asked, "Does it still hurt now?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Chu Dai's eyes flickered with fire. He closed his eyes, threw the towel in the girl's hand back into the bucket, and pressed on her: "It hurts more somewhere else, do you want to touch it?"

Gu Qingqing was pressed down on the bed by him, with a strong masculine scent blowing in her face. He seldom smoked recently, and there was only a faint scent of soap on his body. Without waiting for her to respond, the man kissed her directly, blocking her soft lips.

The breaths intertwined, Gu Qingqing's face flushed, Chu Dai chuckled in her ear and said, "The last night."

Gu Qingqing stretched out her hands to hold his neck, kissed the tip of his nose, and said, "Okay, don't be polite to me, thank you brother."

Chu Dai froze for a moment, then got off her, turned over and lay beside her with his head tilted back, with the back of his hands resting on his eyes, an uncontrollable laugh in his throat.

What should I do? I feel like she is going to kill me.

There was something soft running down the scar on his waist and into his lower abdomen. He was wrapped up in it and couldn't help but moan.

Gu Qingqing turned over and sat on his lap, her hands still, leaning on his chest, and sighed, "Brother, I'm obsessed with you."

Chu Dai let go of his hands, looked into her dark eyes, and smiled, "Who isn't?"

He felt that the box of things Zhao Ze sent was probably of no use.

If Chu Zhao had been slower, his son might have fallen in love with the child from Zhao Ze's family.

This night was particularly long. The Gu family stayed up all night. Gu Qingqing and Chu Dai didn't sleep much either. In the middle of the night, Chu Dai got up from the quilt, looked at the girl's face, bent down and pecked her lightly, took her hand away, walked to the closet, took out some clothes and put them on.

Gu Qingqing had only slept for two hours before her mother pulled her out of bed, asked her to wash up, and then took out a red dress that had been sewn for her to change into.

Gu Qingqing was well-behaved and obedient, and changed into a red cloth skirt.

She took out the black wool coat that was made for her by the tailor shop and was exactly the same as Chu Dai's coat from the closet and put it on outside.

Shi Rushuang took out a red scarf and put it around her. Han Lianxin stuffed a white steamed bun into her hand, and then Shi Rushuang pressed her down on the table and combed her hair.

Shi Rushuang was very skillful, so she didn't braid her hair into the usual pigtail, but instead made her into the bridal bun she wore at her previous wedding.

Han Lianxin's brother Zhang Yuqing took out a new quilt from the closet, stuffed the cotton core into the red dragon and phoenix satin quilt cover, put away the original blue coarse cloth quilt, and laid it out carefully and neatly.

Zhang Cuifen brought some dates, peanuts, longans and melon seeds and scattered them on the quilt, muttering to herself that she wished the couple would have a son soon and live in harmony until old age.

Gu Qingqing was biting a white flour bun. Because the table was at the end of the bed, she reached out from the quilt and grabbed a red date to fill her stomach, but was pushed away by Zhang Cuifen.

"Granddaughter, why are you so hungry? Be good and eat at night." Zhang Cuifen pushed the red date peanuts closest to her into the middle.

Shi Rushuang also tapped the lady's forehead and said with a smile, "You are just a greedy cat."

"Mother!" Gu Qingqing refused and shook her arm coquettishly, "I'm hungry."

"Bear with it." Shi Rushuang remained unmoved.

When Gu Qinglie came in with the egg pancakes, his sister was wearing a red veil and sitting quietly at the table, only occasionally grabbing some food from the side and stuffing it under the veil.

He had evil intentions and put the bowl on the table, and when Gu Qingqing was about to touch it, he moved it away.

"Goudan!" Gu Qingqing had already smelled the scent, and as soon as she heard the footsteps she knew it was her bastard brother.
