After Brother Cheng left, Cheng Jiawen walked back to the room. Xu Qianjiao raised her head from her novel and asked, "What did Brother want to talk to you about?"
Cheng Jiawen looked at the door and saw no one was there. He immediately closed the door and walked over to Xu Qianjiao and whispered, "Let's find a chance to move out."
"Hmm? Opportunity, what opportunity?" Xu Qianjiao looked at him curiously, "Could it be related to Big Brother?"
Cheng Jiawen couldn't suppress a smile on his face. "Smart, big brother wants this room, so we can use this as an excuse to move out."
"What's the big deal? Haven't we separated? Just move out. Why are you looking for an excuse?" Xu Qianjiao frowned and looked at Cheng Jiawen a little puzzled.
Cheng Jiawen reached out and rubbed her head, slowly explaining to her, "Well, having an excuse can make us move out more legitimately. Otherwise, if we want to move out, people outside will definitely spread all kinds of rumors. Although we don't care, it's better to have no excuse than to have one."
"That's the truth. We're moving anyway, so just give them this room." Xu Qianjiao put the novel away and said nonchalantly.
Cheng Jiawen bent his fingers and tapped her head. "What do you mean by giving it as soon as you say it? We still have to charge some money."
"That's it? How much can it be worth?" Xu Qianjiao looked around the dilapidated room. The room was not big, only a dozen square meters. Due to its age, the wall paint had peeled off, with patches of white and black.
Because he was newly married, Cheng Jiawen wiped the wall with red paper to make it look less shabby.
The roof was thatched, and the only good thing was that half of the wall was brick. She really couldn't imagine how much this room could be worth.
Cheng Jiawen rolled his eyes at her. "Huh, this room is worth at least a few dozen dollars. Even though it's a bit old, it's still habitable. Besides, is it that easy to build a new house? Buying bricks and hiring people will cost money."
"You rolled your eyes at me? Well, you don't love me anymore after getting married, right? You don't cherish me now that you have me. You... scumbag." Xu Qianjiao pretended to be sad and turned her back, not looking in Cheng Jiawen's direction.
Cheng Jiawen looked at the woman who had suddenly lost her temper, his face bewildered. What had he just done? Wasn't it just rolling his eyes? Such a big reaction? Did that mean he didn't love her anymore?
He swallowed his saliva and walked behind her with a guilty conscience, wanting to peek at her, but Xu Qianjiao had her back to her and her shoulders were twitching. Cheng Jiawen panicked, wondering if she was going to cry.
It's over, I've gone too far.
He quickly hugged her from behind and apologized softly in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Jiaojiao, it's my fault. I shouldn't have rolled my eyes at you. Please stop crying, okay? I'm sorry, please forgive me."
Xu Qianjiao ignored him, just continued to turn her back to him and did not answer him.
Seeing this, Cheng Jiawen had no choice but to continue coaxing: "Jiaojiao~Jiaojiao~Forgive me, Jiaojiao. I promise I won't do it again. Please forgive me, okay?"
Xu Qianjiao still ignored him and just sat there in silence, her shoulders still twitching from time to time. Cheng Jiawen immediately hugged her distressedly. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, "Didn't you say you wanted vanishing cream? I'll buy it for you, right away, okay? Don't cry, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Hearing about vanishing cream, Xu Qianjiao immediately raised her head and looked at him with bright eyes, "Really? Are you really going to buy it for me right now?"
Cheng Jiawen saw that her eyes were bright and there was no sign of crying. He immediately hugged her and said, "You little liar, you lied to me."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to tickle her flesh. Xu Qianjiao was so annoyed that she fell on the bed and kept rolling around, "Hahaha, stop tickling, it's so itchy~"
"Little liar, do you think it's fun to lie to me?" Cheng Jiawen pretended to be angry and looked at her fiercely, but deep in his eyes was a deep doting. He put his hand on her waist and said, "Tell me, do you dare to lie to me again in the future?"
Xu Qian laughed so hard that tears came out. She shook her head weakly, "No... I don't dare anymore. I really don't dare anymore. Please let me go."
Seeing that she was begging for mercy, Cheng Jiawen let her go, pulled her up, gently hugged her, and whispered in her ear: "Don't lie to me with tears in the future. When I see your tears, it hurts."
Xu Qianjiao lay in his arms, listening to his sweet words, the smile on her face became brighter and brighter. She kissed his cheek, "Mm-hmm, I love to hear that."
Cheng Jiawen held her waist, his palm clasped behind her head, "If you want to buy something in the future, find a different way to act coquettishly, don't use tears."
"Really? If I want it, just buy it for me?" Xu Qianjiao looked at him with bright eyes, her face full of anticipation.
"Of course not. You want everything. If I buy them all, I'll go bankrupt. Buy selectively, buy selectively." Cheng Jiawen looked at her excited expression and immediately changed his words, not saying it too confidently.
Hearing this, Xu Qianjiao rolled her eyes and said, "Tsk, liar, you said you would buy me whatever I like, you liar, I will ignore you."
After saying that, he turned his head away from Cheng Jiawen, but when he thought of something, he suddenly turned back and said seriously, "But you must buy me the vanishing cream you promised me this time."
Cheng Jiawen smiled helplessly and took the initiative to hug her. "Okay, I'll buy it for you, I'll buy it for you, okay, little ancestor, don't be angry, let's go out and find something to eat, we are all hungry."
Xu Qianjiao touched her stomach and found that she was indeed a little hungry, so she went down the stairs that Cheng Jiawen had given her and went out with him to find something to eat.
-------------------------------------
It was not yet three days before the wedding, so Xu Qianjiao and Cheng Jiawen could not go to the Xu family to get food. They had no choice but to go to Cheng Jiawen's brothers in the village, bought some eggs and sweet potatoes, and then found a place in the back mountain to roast them and eat them directly.
Cheng Jiawen wrapped the roasted sweet potatoes in clean leaves, peeled them and handed them to Xu Qianjiao, "Come on, bear with it for a while and eat two meals of sweet potatoes first. When we return to our parents' home tomorrow, we will move and I will take you to eat something delicious then."
"Hmm, delicious." Xu Qianjiao took the sweet potato and ate it with relish. The sweet potato now is soft, sweet and fragrant, without any technology or fierce fire, it has the most original taste.
Seeing Xu Qianjiao eating so happily, Cheng Jiawen also showed a faint smile on his face, "As long as you like it."
The two of them returned to the Cheng family after eating and drinking. When they returned, the Cheng family was having dinner. Xu Qianjiao greeted Cheng Jiawen lightly and went straight back to her room.
Everyone in the Cheng family in the living room was eating their meals in silence. No one cared whether the two had eaten or not. The Cheng family didn't give them any food, so how did they manage these two days?
Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao didn't care. After all, they were just relatives in name and by blood. Besides, not every family was so close to each other. It was fine like this. Everyone was casual and just talked about things when there was something to say.
