Lu Baiwei and He Ting were able to go further thanks to the non-venomous pine snake.

But it would be no fun if a bamboo pit viper crawls into the house next time.

Their house was next to a sunny mountain, and for Xiao Qiranran, they planted wild cassia trees to ward off snakes.

He Ting was arranged to dig wild cassia seeds and take care of the child the next day. Lu Baiwei had breakfast early in the morning and rode her bicycle to her third uncle's house to find Tang Yunling.

Tang Yunling was washing clothes by the river when a stone hit her back.

"Which little bastard did this?"

Thinking that some naughty kid had thrown a stone at her, Tang Yunling got furious. She dropped the laundry pestle, stood up, put her hands on her hips, and turned around to glare at the kid fiercely.

It was Zhou Yanfeng who was squatting on the slope by the stream watching her wash clothes.

"Zhou Yanfeng, do you dare to throw stones at me?"

"You want to die!"

Tang Yunling threatened him angrily: "You are not allowed to eat at my house anymore."

Zhou Yanfeng was even more wronged than Dou E.

He was afraid of her because he threatened not to let her go to her house for dinner at any time.

Zhou Yanfeng defended himself: "Miss, can you see clearly what I threw at you?"

Tang Yunling found a White Rabbit milk candy in the grass next to the bluestone slab by the stream.

She wiped her wet hands on her clothes, peeled off the oil paper and put the candy in her mouth.

"Just give the candy openly, why are you being so sneaky?"

When Lu Baiwei found the door of her third uncle's house, Zhou Yanfeng was helping Tang Yunling twist the sheets. Each of them twisted one end, and the sheets, which were twisted into a big hemp twist, were dripping with water.

"Sister, come with me to your boyfriend's place in the next brigade. I want to get a bed."

Lu Baiwei tiptoed out of the car and called Tang Yunling to accompany her to the next brigade.

Zhou Yanfeng's face didn't look very good, and he suddenly let go of the end of the sheet he was holding.

Fortunately, Tang Yunling was quick-witted and quick-handed. He lifted up his own end, spread out the sheet and directly dug it onto the bamboo pole. His movements were smooth and fluid.

"Zhou Yanfeng, you're going to die. You let go so suddenly that I almost wasted my time washing the sheets."

"Where's the candy? Hand it all over."

Tang Yunling pretended to kick him with his leg raised, and raised his chin with a proud look on his face: "I'll punish you by giving Weiwei some candy."

Tang Yunling yelled at him to take out the candy, and Zhou Yanfeng really took it out.

He took out a handful of candies from his pocket, giving half to Tang Yunling and half to Lu Baiwei.

Such rare White Rabbit milk candy, and you took out such a big handful?

Lu Baiwei felt that there was something wrong between Zhou Yanfeng and her cousin.

Being looked at by Lu Baiwei with inquiring eyes, Zhou Yanfeng looked guilty.

He turned the pocket inside out and showed it to Lu Baiwei: "Look, sister-in-law, it's really gone."

"It's getting late, go to the next brigade to meet your little fiancé."

Zhou Yanfeng said this to Tang Yunling with a look of disdain.

After saying that, he picked up the hoe that was thrown on the ground and left without looking back.

Tang Yunling stamped her feet in anger: "Weiwei, look at him, what's his attitude?"

"He almost made me wash a whole bed of sheets for nothing. I punished him by asking him to bring us some candies, but he looked unhappy and kept talking in a sarcastic tone."

"Really? He's dressed like a young master."

"How did you offend him by asking me to go to the next brigade? He gave us the cold shoulder."

"Last time, in order to save him, He Ting was scratched by a wolf in the mountains. He listened to He Ting the most and said that he would stick up for He Ting. Let's see why he is so arrogant. I will let my brother-in-law He Ting deal with him later."

Lu Baiwei rode her bicycle all the way to the next brigade, while Tang Yunling sat on the back seat of the bicycle and muttered to herself, all of her words were about competing with Zhou Yanfeng, saying that she was not happy when he was asked to give her a candy.

Her cousin seemed to have missed the point.

Zhou Yanfeng has always been the most generous person. In order to have a free meal at his third aunt's house, he bought her all kinds of peach cakes and even brought chocolates that could only be bought at the Friendship Store in Beijing to her door.

What’s a few White Rabbit candies?

Is the young master from the capital the kind of person who would feel sorry for those candies?

Her cousin was also strange. When she was with the young carpenter from the next village, she spoke in a soft voice. She seemed afraid of scaring others if she spoke louder.

When it comes together with Zhou Yanfeng, it's like using a stone to drill wood and it's going to catch fire.

They are really a pair of bickering lovers.

Lu Baiwei rode her bicycle out of Xiangyang Brigade and took a shortcut onto the small road leading to Hongqi Brigade. His cousin was still talking about Zhou Yanfeng, and she seemed like she would not stop until she joined in the scolding.

Lu Baiwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly changed the subject: "Sister, let me tell you something."

"Zhao Yongsen's sister came to my house yesterday."

Zhao Yongsen is Tang Yunling's fiancé from the next brigade. His grandfather is famous for his carpentry skills, and the old man passed on his carpentry skills to his eldest grandson.

No matter what time it is, if you have a skill, you can always have enough food and clothing.

Because her cousin married her second aunt in the Hongqi Brigade, who lived next to the Zhao family, her cousin often went to her aunt's house when she was a child and grew up playing with Zhao Yongsen.

The two are childhood sweethearts.

The Zhao family knows her ins and outs. Her third uncle Tang Jinghe does not ask for his children to be rich and powerful, but just wants them to live a safe and smooth life.

Tang Yunling was willing, and her parents also agreed to her engagement with the Zhao family.

Normally, after the engagement, we should get a marriage certificate and let my cousin get married as soon as possible.

It was also because her third uncle and aunt were reluctant to let their daughter stay and wanted to keep her for another year, so they made an agreement with the Zhao family to let the couple get their marriage certificate and hold a wedding after the Chinese New Year.

Tang Yunling was getting along well with Zhao Yongsen's sister. When she heard Lu Baiwei mention her fiancé's sister, her attention was diverted.

"What is Tiantian doing at your house?"

"Why didn't she come to play with me?"

Lu Baiwei told her cousin Tang Yunling about Liu Cuifang helping He Ting's childhood sweetheart Feng Shishi deliver the letter.

Tang Yunling, who defended Lu Baiwei the most, became furious when she heard this.

"Is Liu Cuifang mentally ill? You and He Ting are already married, and you are her legal partner, yet she comes here to call you a country girl."

"So what if you're an educated youth from a big city? Why do you look down on others so much?"

"Weiwei, you are too easy to talk to. It's only because I'm not here. If I were here, I would just slap her in the face to make her wake up and know what a country girl is like."

"Look, although both of them are educated youth from Beijing, He Ting and Zhou Yanfeng are different."

Okay!

After going around in circles, how did we end up with Zhou Yanfeng again?

I won’t scold Zhou Yanfeng this time.

I don’t know who the person is who has been talking about Zhou Yanfeng all the way?

Lu Baiwei had a headache.

Fortunately, Tang Yunling returned to the main point while speaking.

"Tiantian, you are the same. Why are you bringing someone like that to bring bad luck to your family?"

Lu Baiwei explained: "She didn't know that Liu Cuifang came here to cause trouble. Zhao Tiantian did explain this to me when she left."

Tang Yunling is the most protective of his child.

In her eyes, there are only two options: being one of us and not being one of us.

Zhao Tiantian was her future sister-in-law and was also classified as one of her own.

If you are one of us, you shouldn't cause trouble for her sister.

Tang Yunling replied, "Okay, while I'm here today, I'll tell Tiantian to stay away from Liu Cuifang."
