After the kiss, the two sat on the grass. Xu Qianjiao leaned on Cheng Jiawen's shoulder and pouted, "You said there was a surprise again. I was so happy for nothing."
Cheng Jiawen looked at her increasingly red lips and smiled ambiguously, "Wasn't that a surprise just now? If not, how about a few more times?"
After saying that, he pretended to lean over again. Xu Qianjiao quickly pressed against his chest and said, "No more kissing, or my skin will break."
"Hahaha." Hearing her words, Cheng Jiawen couldn't hold back his laughter any longer. He suddenly reached into his pocket and took out something. He clenched his fist and placed it in front of Xu Qianjiao. "Guess what it is."
Xu Qianjiao looked at his clenched fist, a little confused, but still very happy. She said excitedly, "There really is a gift. Let me see it."
Cheng Jiawen curled his lips slightly, a smile revealing a hint of mysterious confidence. He gently opened his palm, as if to show off a precious treasure. Sure enough, a glittering golden necklace appeared in his palm.
"Wow, so beautiful." Xu Qianjiao cheered happily when she saw the necklace.
This necklace is made of gold, and the pendant is inlaid with various gems and pearls. The colors of the gems are bright and dazzling, and the luster of the pearls is soft and elegant. The whole chain looks noble and elegant.
"As long as you like it."
Seeing Xu Qianjiao so happy, Cheng Jiawen felt that the money he spent was worth it. He saw this necklace from Fatty and thought it was very beautiful and suitable for Xu Qianjiao, so he bought it from Fatty. Now seeing her happy smile, he felt that the money was worth it.
Xu Qianjiao handed the necklace to Cheng Jiawen, "Please help me put it on and see."
Cheng Jiawen took the necklace, walked behind Xu Qianjiao, gently parted her braids and helped her put on the necklace.
Although the girl in front of me was wearing a simple old dress, she matched the necklace surprisingly well. When she wore the necklace, she had an innate nobility, just like a young lady in ancient times.
If Xu Qianjiao knew what he was thinking, she would definitely agree. How could they not be a match? Her noble appearance was cultivated in modern times. If you spend money like water every day, wear big brands, and eat in top restaurants, how could you not be noble?
Xu Qianjiao walked to the stream and looked at herself in the water. She touched the necklace around her neck and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so beautiful~"
Cheng Jiawen's eyes fell on Xu Qianjiao's shy face, and he murmured to himself: "Well, it's really beautiful."
-------------------------------------
In the evening, the sun gradually set in the west, and the sky was dyed with orange-red sunset. The mountain road was winding, with dense woods on both sides. As the afterglow of the sun gradually disappeared, the sky began to darken.
Xu Qianjiao and Cheng Jiawen walked slowly down the mountain. Cheng Jiawen led the way in front and Xu Qianjiao followed behind. When they reached a wider road, the two walked side by side.
Their fingers intertwined and held each other tightly. In this slightly dark environment, the two felt at ease because of each other's presence.
Soon, they arrived at the village. Every house in the village was brightly lit, the aroma of food filled the air along the way, and occasionally the voices of parents calling their children to eat could be heard.
Cheng Jiawen sent Xu Qianjiao to the door of Xu's house and said, "We're here, come in."
Xu Qianjiao reluctantly held his hand and said, "Well, is there any food for you to eat if you go home now? Why don't you stay for dinner?"
"It's okay. I just ate rabbit and I'm not hungry yet." Cheng Jiawen rubbed her head and did not answer her question directly.
"Come on, let's have a meal at my house. We are in a legitimate relationship now anyway. It's just a meal, what's there to be afraid of?" When Xu Qianjiao heard him say this, she knew that he would definitely have nothing to eat when he returned home, so she pulled him into the house and had dinner at her home.
Cheng Jiawen was pulled into the house by her. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw people from the Xu family's main house sitting in the yard eating.
Seeing Xu Qianjiao still holding Cheng Jiawen's hand, the aunt rolled her eyes and muttered softly, "It's unruly. They're not even married yet, and they're already holding hands and hugging."
Xu Qianrou looked at Xu Qianjiao holding Cheng Jiawen's hand, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. That's great. I didn't expect Xu Qianjiao really found a peasant. From now on, I will be the wife of a high-ranking official. She has no right to compete with me.
Xu Qianjiao looked at the people from the eldest house who had different expressions on their faces. She just took Cheng Jiawen and greeted them lightly, then went straight in.
"Dad, Mom, we're back." Xu Qianjiao shouted excitedly.
Xu's father and mother set up the dinner in the room. When they looked up, they saw Xu Qianjiao leading Cheng Jiawen in. Xu's mother looked at Cheng Jiawen a little embarrassedly, "Oh, Jiawen is here too. I'm sorry, we haven't prepared any good dishes."
Cheng Jiawen smiled shyly, "Aunt, I'm the one who's embarrassed. I came to our house for dinner suddenly without telling you in advance."
Seeing that the two were being polite to each other, Xu Qianjiao couldn't help but interrupt them, "Hey, why are you being so polite? If the rice is not enough, then roast two more sweet potatoes. Jiawen is not an outsider."
Mother Xu bent her finger and tapped Xu Qianjiao on the head, saying unhappily, "Go away and wash two sweet potatoes. We'll roast them on the charcoal stove in the room. We can also warm ourselves up by the fire."
"Okay." Xu Qianjiao responded. Just as she was about to run out, Cheng Jiawen grabbed her hand and said, "Let me take a shower. The water is cold. Don't get cold."
After saying that, he took the sweet potato handed to him by Xu's mother and quickly ran to the yard to wash it.
Xu Qianjiao looked at the backs of the people running away, and the corners of her mouth curled up. Then she looked at the big house in the yard. Seeing that they didn't notice this side, she quietly took out half a roasted rabbit from the basket and handed it to Xu's mother, "Mom, look, roasted rabbit."
Seeing the roasted rabbit, Father Xu rushed over, took the rabbit, put it under his nose and took a deep breath, then looked at Xu Qianjiao accusingly, "You secretly roasted the rabbit again."
Xu Qianjiao avoided Xu's father's accusing gaze with a guilty conscience and touched her nose. "Didn't I bring half of it back for you?"
What she didn't tell them was that if Cheng Jiawen hadn't wrapped up half of it at the beginning, she might not have even thought of taking some home and would have probably eaten the rabbit on the spot.
When Cheng Jiawen walked in with the washed sweet potatoes, he felt a strange atmosphere in the room, but he didn't think much about it. He put the sweet potatoes on the charcoal stove to roast, and then when he looked up, he saw the accusing eyes of Xu's father.
He was a little confused and looked at Xu Qianjiao with a strange expression, asking her what was going on with his eyes.
Xu Qianjiao shook her head slightly at him, indicating that he should not care about Xu's father. Although Cheng Jiawen did not understand, he still decided to do as Xu Qianjiao said.
Seeing the father and daughter acting weird, Xu's mother pinched Xu's father's arm in annoyance, "Come on, didn't your daughter bring you half a roasted rabbit? If you keep doing this, you don't have to eat the other half."
Hearing this, Cheng Jiawen finally understood what was going on. It turned out that the two of them were cheating and were found out by Xu's father. He was unhappy. He couldn't help laughing in his heart. He didn't expect that Xu's father was so greedy at such an old age.
He finally knew who Xu Qianjiao inherited her foodie nature from. It turned out that this was a long-standing tradition.
