"Cuicui must have liked you the first time she saw you, but Third Brother is so heartless that he didn't notice it. From the first time she saw you, she made up her mind to lose weight, fearing that you would dislike her because of her weight."
This is what Grandma Liang told Jiang Sui yesterday. It was love at first sight.
When Xiao Yi heard this, his face turned red like a cooked shrimp. He recalled the scene when he first met Liang Cuicui. It seemed to be a rainy day. Old Man Liang didn't come that day, but she and Liang Ming came.
That morning, the rain never stopped and the brother and sister were trapped in the shop for a long time. Finally, he went back in the rain to get two raincoats for them.
That morning, Liang Cuicui behaved very reservedly. Thinking about it carefully, she was a little weird at that time and didn't dare to look me in the eye. Every time we met afterwards, she seemed to blush when she saw me.
Come to think of it, he hadn't seen her for a while, and he didn't know how much weight she had lost now.
Actually... she is quite pretty, and Xiao Yi is not the kind of person who cares about appearance. He pays more attention to inner qualities. With the shadow left by Liu's previous experience, he increasingly feels that a person's inner beauty is more important than outer beauty.
Seeing her third son's blushing look, Xiao's mother knew what was going on.
At least in her opinion, the third brother didn't seem to resist this, which meant he was willing.
"Third brother, just tell me the truth. What do you think of Cuicui? Do you want to live with her? You are not a child anymore. Your eldest brother at least has a son. You are alone and you don't know how to worry.
The girl has taken the initiative, what are you dissatisfied with? Besides, Cuicui is kind-hearted and eloquent, so you are still marrying above your station. If you have that idea, she is still waiting for a reply, so I can help you. "
Xiao's mother was eager to marry Cuicui home immediately; she didn't like things to take too long.
Xiao Yi scratched the back of his head. Actually, he had a good impression of Liang Cuicui and knew that she was a good girl. However, they had never spent much time together after all. It would be inappropriate to talk about marriage right away, right?
He was indeed flattered. He didn't expect that he would have such an admirer. He was quite happy thinking about it.
"Mom, I know you're anxious, but there's no need to rush this. You have to let me get to know him first, so that he can get to know me better, right?"
Come to think of it, Xiao Yi had thought about starting a family again. Mainly because he saw that his elder brother and Madam Song were becoming more and more familiar with each other, their eyes were full of affection, Yuan Ge'er was so smart and likable, and Xuxu was so sweet and gentle, so he really wanted to have a child too.
The same goes for Hechuan. He is so affectionate with his fourth brother's wife every day, which is very eye-catching. Lanlan also has a lover. She sits with her chin resting on her hand and staring blankly every day, with a lot of girlish thoughts in her mind. Now he is the only single person in the family. How can he not want to find a partner?
He didn't think there was anyone suitable before, but now Liang Cuicui suddenly appeared and took a fancy to him. She made so much effort to be seen by him. Xiao Yi suddenly felt that he had found his fantasy object, and he felt a little excited.
"Isn't this easy? Third brother, you can just take the gifts and go to the farm to find Sister Cuicui. That place is full of birdsong, flowers, and beautiful scenery. It's the best place for fun. If you two meet and talk more, won't you become more familiar with each other?"
Xiao Lanlan hasn't figured out her own love life yet, but she's already given her third brother some advice.
"That's right. If you want to get to know each other, there are many ways. You can go to her, and she can come to you. Take a walk in the suburbs, listen to a play in the city, go shopping, and slowly you will become familiar with each other, right?"
Jiang Sui also offered suggestions, and everyone was optimistic about them as a couple.
"That's right. If you need money, just tell mother and she will give it to you. Take good care of Cuicui and be attentive to her. You can't always let her take the initiative. You have to show your sincerity as well."
"You don't have to worry about the store on North Street. Just take care of your lifelong event first. Your second brother and I don't mind if we get tired. If it doesn't work out, we can just hire two more people."
Now, the whole family is dedicated to assisting Xiao Yi in chasing the girl.
Zhou was holding her big belly, so it was inconvenient for her to do anything, but she still wanted to express her attitude:
"Third uncle, Miss Cuicui is really nice, you have to hurry up, Second sister-in-law can't help you much, but Second sister-in-law has high hopes for you and is waiting for your wedding. She will give you a big red envelope then."
The family members have said so much, wouldn’t it be too bad if Xiao Yi didn’t lend a little help?
He nodded seriously, his face, which was not pale to begin with, turned even redder, and his expression was determined as if he was going to join the party, very innocent.
The Xiao brothers are all quite innocent, except Xiao Hechuan, because he is a black-hearted person.
…
Xiao Yi did not waste any time. He first spent a day planning, thinking about how to act. During the day in the North Street shop, he seemed to be in a bad state, and he kept thinking about how to start pursuing the girl.
Seeing his absent-minded look, Xiao Qin and Xiao Mian just found it funny, but they didn't make fun of him.
Thinking all day was not enough. He did not sleep well at night. The next morning, he put on new clothes and new cloth shoes that he had never worn before, and combed his hair neatly.
After working for the past few months, his mother paid him wages and he had saved more than ten taels of silver. He thought, this should be enough to take Cuicui out to play, right?
He first went to the most popular pastry shop on the street and bought a few bags of exquisite snacks. He also bought a jar of Nv'erhong wine, because he knew that Grandpa Liang liked to drink such a small amount of wine. He also bought two bags of old brown sugar and a few pounds of fresh mutton. Then he went to the post station to rent a carriage to take himself to the farm.
On the way, he was quite nervous. His palms and forehead were sweating a lot. He kept wiping them with a handkerchief. The closer he got to the farm, the faster his heart beat.
He didn't feel it before he said it out loud, but now, just thinking of the name Liang Cuicui, he feels like his heart is about to jump out of his throat.
The carriage dropped him off at the intersection of the farm and then went back. Xiao Yi was standing at the intersection with things in both hands. He could see the Liang family's yard from afar. The farm grew vegetables, melons and fruits, and many farmers were busy in their fields.
It was not his first time here, but his mood was completely different. When he walked on the path, the farmers around him recognized him as from Xiaoji and greeted him.
He also smiled and greeted them, but he felt a little awkward, too embarrassed to look people in the eye, and he came alone this time, and brought so many gifts, the standard is the same as going to his mother-in-law's house. Everyone speculated that the Xiao and Liang families had come to play frequently recently, were they discussing marriage? It just so happened that there were two young people, and the age was just right.
