The moment Xu Qianjiao stepped out of the hospital gate, the sun shone down on her, as if she were covered in a golden veil. She sat lightly on the back seat of Cheng Jiawen's worn but warm bicycle, her hands tightly wrapped around his strong waist.
The breeze ruffled her hair and also messed up her thoughts. Recalling everything that had just happened in the hospital, Xu Qianjiao couldn't help but feel thankful for her mother's quick response.
Although she did not particularly value so-called chastity, she would eventually feel unhappy if she had to endure those groundless rumors and strange looks from others every day.
At this moment, leaning on Cheng Jiawen's broad back, feeling the strength and warmth transmitted from his pedaling, Xu Qianjiao felt like she had found a safe haven. This simple and kind man, with his silent actions, gave her endless care and support.
As the wheels rolled forward, the scenery on both sides of the street gradually receded, and Xu Qianjiao's mood gradually calmed down. She knew that life would always have its ups and downs, but as long as there was someone like this who was worth relying on, no matter how many difficulties there were, they could be easily solved.
In the sunshine, Xu Qianjiao raised her lips slightly, revealing a happy smile. She believed that the days ahead would become better and better...
When they returned to the village, they still saw a group of old ladies sitting under the big banyan tree at the entrance. When they saw Xu Qianjiao, gossip appeared in their eyes.
Aunt Lin still stepped forward and called Xu Qianjiao. Without changing her reason, she took Xu Qianjiao's hand and walked towards her home.
Cheng Jiawen looked helplessly at the backs of the two people walking away, feeling a little helpless.
He sighed silently and turned around to ride his old bicycle back home. At this moment, he suddenly felt a strange gaze staring at him from behind.
Cheng Jiawen turned around in confusion, only to see a group of middle-aged women gathered at the entrance of the village, their eyes revealing an elusive emotion.
Some of the ladies were smiling, as if they were laughing at something; others were frowning, as if they were a little confused and suspicious.
Cheng Jiawen scratched his head, feeling a little confused, but he didn't pay too much attention to it and continued on his way home.
However, the gazes of those aunties always followed him, making him feel uncomfortable. Then he sped up, trying to quickly escape the gaze of these aunties.
Aunt Liu watched Cheng Jiawen walk away and whispered, "It seems Zhuzi's old turtle really works. Look at Cheng Jiawen, he was not good at first, but Xu Er's wife replaced him with an old turtle, and he got better after drinking it once."
She saw clearly just now that Xu Qianjiao's walking posture had slightly changed from before, which must be the consummation of the marriage.
It seems that the old turtle soup is really useful. Should she make some soup for the man at home? She always feels that he is not doing well recently..., Aunt Liu couldn't help but mutter in her heart.
The old lady next to them looked at Cheng Jiawen and the others, and she had an idea in her mind. Old turtle soup is really so useful, so should she...
For a moment, everyone was immersed in their own thoughts and no one spoke.
After a while, the old turtles in Zhuzi's family were always being traded away, and even to the point where the supply could not meet the demand...
-------------------------------------
That night, the Xu family sat in the dining room for dinner. Xu Qianjiao suddenly brought up what happened at the police station today. "By the way, what kind of reward will the police give us? We've done something meritorious, after all, by helping them catch these people."
Cheng Jiawen lowered his head to eat his meal. When he heard Xu Qianjiao's words, he raised his head and said, "I don't know. It should be a reward of some money and tickets. These are usually the ones."
"Money and tickets." Xu Qianjiao touched her chin. "Okay, it's better than nothing."
After dinner, Xu's mother knocked on Cheng Jiawen and her friends' door, still holding a bowl of "tonic" old turtle soup. When Cheng Jiawen opened the door, he saw Xu's mother standing at the door with the old turtle soup again.
He swallowed nervously, "Again? Last night, that bowl of nourishing soup made his blood boil. The two of them argued for most of the night before he calmed down. Xu Qianjiao was already mad at him this morning, and now here she is again tonight..."
Xu's mother smiled and said, "Jiawen, come on, drink the soup quickly."
Cheng Jiawen took a look at the soup and couldn't refuse Xu's mother's kindness, so he had to take the soup and drink it in one breath.
Seeing that he was so understanding, Xu's mother felt more relieved. "This old turtle soup is really effective. It cured Cheng Jiawen's illness in one go. Drink it again tonight to consolidate the effect. He should be fine."
She slowly brought the bowl back, her eyes revealing an elusive depth.
She stared at him quietly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said softly with a barely perceptible smile: "Okay, okay, you and Jiaojiao should rest early, and mother will not disturb you."
After saying this, he turned and left, but his thoughtful expression lingered in the air, as if hinting at something...
She was very happy and her thoughts became more active. 'Now Jiaojiao is almost recovered, Jiawen's illness has been cured, and they have consummated their marriage. Maybe she will be able to hold her grandson soon.'
The more she thought about it, the bigger the smile on her face became, and she began to hum a song as she walked. When Xu Qianjiao came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, she saw that her mother was in a good mood, with a smile on her face and humming a song as she walked back to the room.
Looking at her back, Xu Qianjiao raised her eyebrows, "What's wrong with mother? Why are you so happy?"
She walked back to the room, opened the door, and saw Cheng Jiawen doing push-ups in the room again. Her heart skipped a beat and she turned around and wanted to escape from the room.
