Cheng Jiawen nodded, "Yes, otherwise if it's any later, Xu Qianrou's belly will show."
Xu Qianjiao nodded in understanding, "That's right. Getting pregnant before marriage is no small crime these days. If people find out and the evidence is irrefutable, the whole family will suffer."
"Yes." Cheng Jiawen responded to Xu Qianjiao while cooking.
Soon, the meal was ready and served on the table. At this moment, footsteps and voices were heard outside the door. It turned out to be Xu's mother and father returning. Upon hearing the sound, Cheng Jiawen quickly wiped his hands, walked quickly to the door to greet them, and offered to help carry the things they were carrying into the house.
Xu Qianjiao brought the dishes to the table, scooped up some rice, and waited for everyone to put their food down.
"Dad, Mom, put the things aside first. It's time to eat. It will get cold soon." She poked her head out of the room and shouted to the people in the yard.
"Okay." Mother Xu looked up and replied, "Put it here first. We'll fix it after dinner."
"become."
After hastily washing their hands, several people vigorously patted the dust and dirt on their bodies, as if to shake off the fatigue of the whole day. Then, they quickly took off their heavy coats, threw them aside, and sat down on the warm kang.
At this moment, Xu's father and Cheng Jiawen were already starving. They didn't bother to talk, but wolfed down the food on the table. After all, they had been doing heavy physical labor all day and their bodies were already exhausted.
In addition, they rode for another half an hour to get home that night, and their stomachs were already empty. Every bite of food was the best comfort for their hard work, allowing them to feel the little happiness in life.
Xu Qianjiao looked at Cheng Jiawen distressedly and put some meat into Cheng Jiawen's bowl. "Eat slowly. No one is going to snatch it from you."
"Yeah." Cheng Jiawen looked up and smiled at her, then continued to eat his meal with his head down.
After dinner, they divided the work. Xu Qianjiao washed the dishes, while Cheng Jiawen, Xu's father and Xu's mother sorted out the things in the cellar.
Mother Xu looked at the cellar full of things and felt satisfied. It was good that the family was divided this year. There should be no shortage of food for the whole year. It was just that the money she got from the previous division was not much.
However, Xu's mother was very open-minded. She knew that money could be earned again, but food had to be prepared enough, otherwise they would starve. The feeling of starvation was really unpleasant.
She doesn't want to starve if she can.
Besides, the weather this year seems a bit abnormal. It is only the beginning of winter, but I already have to wear the thick cotton-padded jacket I wore during the coldest times of previous years, and the snow is getting heavier.
I hope this is just her illusion. The year of disaster... is really scary.
-------------------------------------
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye. During these two days, the world seems to be dyed with a layer of light color, and everything seems so peaceful and harmonious.
The sky was still blue, and the sun shone through the clouds, adding a touch of warmth to the cold winter. The breeze rustled the leaves, making a rustling sound, as if nature was whispering something.
At the Xu family's house, a big red wedding character was posted on the door. People were coming and going with happy smiles on their faces. Inside the room, Xu Qianrou was sitting in front of the mirror with a blushing face, and the matchmaker was helping her to put on her makeup carefully.
Mrs. Xu walked in from outside. She waved to the bridesmaid and asked her to wait outside. The bridesmaid put down the comb in her hand, turned around and walked out of the room.
She closed the door and sat next to Xu Qianrou, "Rou Rou, how do you feel? Do you want to vomit?"
Xu Qianrou shook her head. "No, I'll just eat something sour to suppress my urge to vomit."
"Well, remember, don't let anything slip. Now the villagers are just guessing, there is no actual evidence. You must not let anything slip, otherwise, your family may be affected." Mrs. Xu worriedly warned Xu Qianrou.
When Xu Qianrou heard her say this, her eyes darkened and a trace of resentment flashed across them. Ever since she became pregnant, her parents had been treating her badly, especially her father, who looked at her as if she were trash.
She was disgusted that she had lost face. She reached out and touched her belly, secretly swearing in her heart: If you treat me like this now, you will definitely regret it in the future. When I become the wife of a high-ranking official, don't even think about getting close to me.
"I understand. I won't let anyone else know." Xu Qianrou said pretending to be sensible.
Mrs. Xu touched her head with relief, then took her hand and chattered to her about some things she needed to pay attention to during pregnancy and things she needed to pay attention to after marriage.
Xu Qianrou listened obediently on the surface, but her mind had already flown away, "Why hasn't Brother Ziming come yet? Mom talks too much, it's so annoying."
-------------------------------------
At the educated youth point, Song Ziming changed his clothes and prepared to take the other two educated youth to the Xu family to pick someone up.
But suddenly, Qian Qing stood at the door and looked at Song Ziming, who was wearing a brand new Zhongshan suit. She walked in quietly and hugged Song Ziming's waist tightly from behind. Tears couldn't be held back and she said in a sobbing voice: "Brother Ziming, are you really going to Xu Qianrou?"
Song Ziming was suddenly hugged from behind. He quickly broke free from Qian Qing's hand, walked to the door, and carefully observed if anyone had seen what had just happened. When no one saw it, he immediately closed the door.
"Qingqing, you know my family's situation. I must marry Xu Qianrou." Song Ziming walked up to Qian Qing and gently wiped her tears. "Don't cry. Find a good family to marry in the future. We will be brother and sister in the future. I will love you as my own sister."
