"Didn't you follow them secretly? If it were a girl from Shanshui Village, he would at least sneak over to take a look at her." Qin Yilin asked again.
We've all been through this, how could we not understand?
After she and her husband met, they didn't meet privately. However, her husband would occasionally send her gifts, and she would always be called out by her elders to thank him in person.
From then on, he delivered things very frequently!
Unfortunately, after getting married, I lost everything. Humph.
Mrs. Hu had been through similar experiences, and she understood immediately.
There was no one else in the house, and she didn't lower her voice, but said truthfully, "How could he not have gone with me? But he goes back to his sister's house after finishing his work and has never been to the village."
I was initially thinking that he might have sneaked away while working, and I asked my husband to keep an eye out. But my husband said that he worked very hard and was very eager to come home after finishing his work, probably because he was hungry and wanted to come home for dinner.
You think this kid isn't stupid? Liking something is one thing, eating is another, but compared to eating, all he cares about is eating!
Shuiqing: ..... Her mother's comparison is wrong. How can you compare it to eating? Nothing can be compared to eating.
Qin Yilin smiled and comforted him: "How can it be compared to eating? But I think he ate quite well, and he didn't look distraught at all. Besides, you also said that you didn't go to the village."
I bet you've got it wrong? Maybe you don't even have a crush on anyone?
Ding Jiajia paused, her chopsticks holding the cold noodles still, forgetting to put them in her mouth.
Mother Hu replied with certainty: "He eats very well, even more than he usually does at home. I think it must be because the food at Qing'er's place is good and cooked well, so he eats a lot."
But you don't know how absent-minded he is, especially after dinner. He'll sit there, suddenly laughing for no reason, then looking gloomy a little while later. One minute he's laughing, the next he's gloomy. What else could it be but someone he has a crush on?
After dinner, Shui Qing went to take care of her two daughters and Zhao Di. Since it was usually time for everyone to wash up after dinner, she would generally avoid the grown-up boys. Therefore, she had no idea that her younger brother could be so distraught.
She tried hard to recall Wen Hua's unusual behavior during this period.
...There doesn't seem to be anything unusual, except that he's particularly active when eating, and sometimes he's also very reserved, and sometimes he's listless.
She glanced at Ding Jiajia across from her; her listless appearance was strikingly similar to Jiajia's at that moment!
Ironically, Wen Hua was listless when Jia Jia was also too busy to come for dinner...
Shui Qing thought of something, took a deep breath, and quickly suppressed the thoughts in her mind. Don't panic!
This matter concerns the daughter's reputation and the relationship between the two families, so she couldn't afford to make any mistakes and was very careful.
The moment Ding Jiajia looked up, she saw Shui Qing staring straight at her. Her fair face flushed red, and she hurriedly cleared away her bowl and chopsticks and stood up, saying, "I'm done eating, I'll go out now."
She was afraid that if she listened any longer, she would lose her composure and be noticed.
Qin Yilin was engrossed in gossip and didn't say a word, but Hu's mother was more concerned than her own mother and asked, "Jiajia, you didn't eat much today. Is your appetite poor?"
"No, it's just that it's too hot, and I ate too many pastries before the meal," Jiajia replied softly.
Relieved, Hu's mother said, "I still have some pastries made by your sister Shuiqing in my room. I'll give them to you to eat later. You can't lose all the weight you've gained."
