Ye Youze works in a town ten kilometers away from Shangcun, working as a porter.
It takes about half a day to get home each time.
Generally, the first snow is light snow, and the heavy snow will come after a few snowfalls.
The snow wasn't heavy, so Ye Youze walked home faster.
He was so excited at the thought of seeing his relatives soon that his walking almost turned into running.
Then after half an hour, it became walking.
Running is too strenuous after all...
More than three hours later, he returned to the village.
Entering the village, Ye Youze saw his home from afar and strode over.
Chu Qi held the fluffy chick in her hands and squatted at the door to play with it. A hen with its feathers standing on end was cackling and standing by.
Ye Youze was stunned. He had watched his younger brother grow up, and this was the first time he discovered that his younger brother had a hobby of playing with little yellow chickens?
Chu Qi looked up and saw the stunned young man. She put the chicken down naturally: "Brother, you are home."
"Well," Ye Youze felt in his pocket and took out a candy: "Here's a candy for you. This is a New Year's gift from the contractor."
White sugar is not cheap, costing ten cents for one ounce, but brown sugar, which is made from sugarcane juice mixed with boiled water, is much cheaper.
About five cents and one ounce.
It is quite generous of the contractor to give each person a candy, but some people have nothing at all.
So Ye Youze felt very benefited and vowed to work hard there next year.
"I don't eat candy, leave it for my sister."
Chu Qi shook her head.
Ye Youze didn't persuade her any further. He put away the candy, then walked into the house with his luggage on his back, saying:
"When I went home last month, my mother told me that our house was leaking. I wanted to fix it last time, but I was busy going back to work and never had the time to fix it. This time I'm on vacation, so I finally have time to fix it."
As I stepped through the door, a young girl wearing linen grey clothes and with only a wooden hairpin on her head came towards me.
The girl has a thin figure and thin cheeks, but her eyes are very beautiful, and the faint smile at the corner of her mouth makes people feel like spring breeze.
If his younger brother had not been standing at the door, Ye Youze would have almost thought that he had walked into the wrong door.
Zhuang Qiuling was startled when she saw the strange man.
She turned around and went back to her room almost subconsciously.
Not long after, Huang Ying came out to introduce Zhuang Qiuling and Ye Youze to each other.
"I, I have a wife?" Ye Youze pointed at himself in disbelief, feeling like he was in a dream.
He stole a glance at the girl's face and thought she was very pretty. He suddenly felt shy. His ears turned red and he turned his head away, not daring to look at the girl.
Zhuang Qiuling also finally met her "husband".
She looked at him carefully and secretly, feeling extremely shy.
I didn’t expect that this husband is quite good looking, except that his skin is a little dark, but his facial features are really amazing.
After all, the whole family is good-looking. Even though Ye Youze's skin is dark due to daily exposure to wind and sun, his appearance has not been greatly affected.
Although she hastily decided to marry a strange man in order to have a place to settle down, after seeing Ye Youze, the last bit of awkwardness in Zhuang Qiuling's heart disappeared.
After Huang Ying finished the introduction, she took the basket from Zhuang Qiuling and said, "I'm going to go dig bamboo shoots. Qiuling, you can chat with Youze for a while."
Zhuang Qiuling's face flushed. "Mom, let me go dig bamboo shoots. Aren't you busy embroidering?"
Huang Ying smiled and said, "There's no rush for the embroidery work. Chatting is the most important thing."
Zhuang Qiuling closed her mouth and her head almost dropped to her chest.
The first time in Ye Youze's life he faced a strange woman was as her husband. How could he handle such a big scene?
He was so embarrassed that he had to stay alone with the girl in a room. He immediately stood up and said, "Mom! I'll go fix the roof first!"
As he said that, he rushed back to the room with his luggage, only to see a strange child in the room.
He looked about seven or eight years old and was very thin.
.....
Huang Ying felt a little embarrassed when she saw her son running away.
It was not right to walk or stand with the basket.
Instead, Zhuang Qiuling breathed a sigh of relief. She took back the basket and said softly, "Mom, I'll go dig bamboo shoots first. Yesterday I saw a place where they were growing well."
....
It has been several days since Ye Youze returned home. They have been seeing each other every day. Zhuang Qiuling has gradually become familiar with each other. The awkwardness in her heart has faded, and they are getting along more naturally.
But I still don’t have a bed to sleep in.
In times without war, people always paid more attention to rituals. You can't just skip the marriage step just because the girl came on her own.
Huang Ying took out her wedding dress from the bottom of her closet, altered its size, and gave it to Zhuang Qiuling.
Ye Youze was wearing new clothes made of cotton cloth bought by Chu Qi.
Although they don't look very compatible standing together, it's a special case and special treatment. It's OK as long as the groom looks good, it doesn't matter whether it matches the wedding dress or not.
The Ye family chose an auspicious day, when the xiaotangcai was ripe, and held a wedding at home when the two sisters of the Ye family went home for vacation.
After worshipping heaven and earth and paying respect to parents, the newlyweds are then sent to the bridal chamber.
More than a month after getting married, Zhuang Qiuling began to suffer from morning sickness.
Got it.
At this time, Chu Qi's vacation was about to end.
After the last snow of winter passed, Chu Qi packed up and prepared to leave.
During the two months at home, she studied a little during the day and took tutoring lessons in her dreams at night, and her grades improved dramatically.
There was a small test at the beginning of the school term at Master Jiang's school, and Chu Qi's progress was noticed by Master Jiang.
