"Let's not talk about that now. Xiaoxiao, go to the field and call your sister back for dinner?" Lin Hua asked Li Xiaoxiao, who had just returned, to call her second sister, who was busy in the field, back for dinner.
When Li Xia learned that Brother Lan and Sister Qiyue had returned, she put down her work and rushed back.
"Second Brother Lan, July is back?" Li Xia is twenty-two years old this year, one year older than Lin Qiyue.
She was tall and thin, with shoulder-length hair. She came back carrying a hoe. Although she was thin, she didn't look very dark-skinned. She always wore a hat while working, but her hands were very dark.
She has delicate features and is the type that gets better the more you look at her, but she's too thin, which might make it harder for her to find a husband.
"Second Sister Li?" Lin Qiyue replied with a smile.
"Come over and have dinner with us."
Lin Hua invited everyone to sit down and eat together.
There's something delicious in the pot today: a big pot of white rice and a big bowl of stewed potatoes and pork belly.
There were several pieces of pork ribs, which showed that both families really valued Lan Yuchu and Lin Qiyue's return.
They were divided into two large tables, one for the children and one for the adults. The food had barely been served when the children's table was already empty. Everyone's bowl was full of vegetables, and they ate quickly and heartily. Each person didn't have much rice, and they each held a steamed bun in their hand as they ate.
Lin Hua was worried that Lin Qiyue wouldn't have enough to eat, so she put a few pieces of pork ribs on her plate.
"Auntie, I've had enough to eat, don't give me any more!" Lin Qiyue looked at the dishes on the table: stewed dried vegetables with meat, a large plate of green vegetables, and stewed potatoes with meat.
The children were eating heartily, and they were all very thin and small.
"Child, these are the conditions in the village, don't complain," Lin Hua said to Lin Qiyue after glancing at her husband.
After all, people in the city can eat white rice and white flour in July, but they rarely have the chance to eat these things.
Lin Qiyue said, "Auntie, it's not that I'm disgusted, it's just that I have a small appetite. I ate a lot this morning, so I can't eat anymore."
"Yes, Auntie, Qiyue has a very small appetite. She always refuses to eat this or that. Even when we try to get her to eat more at home, she only eats a few bites before she can't eat anymore," Lan Yuchu added, continuing Lin Qiyue's words to avoid them from overthinking.
Lin Hua was slightly relieved.
"Uncle Li, where is Grandma Li? Where did she go?" Lin Qiyue asked curiously.
"My mom is probably still busy in the fields. I called her when I came back, and she should be back soon! I've already prepared food for her," Li Ernian said while eating.
Lin Qiyue nodded, and then said nothing more.
Lin Qiyue couldn't finish all the rice and vegetables in her bowl, so she gave it all to Lan Yuchu.
After finishing her meal, around 11 o'clock, Grandma Li returned from outside.
She was used to coming back on time. Lin Qiyue and Lan Yuchu chatted with her for a few words before she went back to her room.
They planned to divide the clothes and candy that their mother-in-law had taken out between the two families.
The youngest daughter of the Liang family is taking an exam today and won't be back until the afternoon. Also, there's Li Qu, the third son of the Li family.
"Honey, how about we go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some malted milk powder after we finish the worship? I took a look at Uncle Liang's grandson and Li Xiaoxiao, and they seem to be a little underdeveloped?"
Lin Qiyue felt a little guilty for being so good to the young couple.
Lan Yuchu took the clothes out of the suitcase, looked at his wife's request, and nodded in agreement:
"Okay, after we finish paying our respects, we'll go buy some food for the children."
Actually, he hadn't thought of it that comprehensively; his wife was much more thoughtful.
Lin Qiyue suddenly walked up to Lan Yuchu and saw him busy taking out the things that his mother-in-law had packed for both families.
This man!
He worked silently the whole way and never complained once. To put it bluntly, he also had to take care of his little wife.
"Honey~"
"What's wrong?" Lan Yu knew what she wanted to do as soon as he heard her soft voice.
When Lin Qiyue asked for a hug in a coquettish manner, Lan Yuchu immediately understood what she wanted, put down what he was holding, and hugged her right away.
"I didn't sleep well all night. That second aunt came over just now. She's determined to scheme against me! I don't think she'll let it go. She thinks I have to ask for a dowry after I get married. It's so annoying!" She really hates these troublesome people and doesn't want to deal with them.
In Lan Yuchu's eyes, she was a delicate and fragile wife. What if her image was ruined one day?
Lan Yuchu patted Lin Qiyue on the back, sighed softly, and comforted her: "Don't worry, at worst, we can just give her a few hundred yuan to get rid of her!"
“If there’s a first time, there will be a second time. I don’t agree to give it.”
They are scheming against others and have a firm grasp on human nature. If you keep retreating, they will leave you with nowhere to run.
"Next time they come to cause trouble, just say that the two hundred was the bride price! Calculate how much money the Lan family has spent on me this year, and they'll have nothing to say." Lin Qiyue looked up at Lan Yuchu, wanting to get some information from him first. "They definitely won't listen to me if I tell them, but as long as you step in, you can definitely resolve it."
Lan Yuchu looked down at his wife, frowning slightly, and said, "Silly girl, don't worry, I will definitely protect you."
The two were talking when that familiar voice came again!
"Lin Qiyue, you've got some nerve, getting married without even telling me?"
This time, the voice sounded older; it was definitely the Lin family's wife.
Lin Qiyue sighed inwardly; what she feared most had come to pass.
At the entrance, Liang Guoliang and his wife Lin Hua were tidying up the kitchen, preparing the offerings they would use for the afternoon's worship ceremony.
