Ji Yu just ate some cakes at noon and cleaned up the house inside and out.
In the afternoon, I brought half a pound of candy to the captain's house.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw only the captain's wife, Sister Chunlan.
"Xiao Yu, are you here to look for our Lao Lin? He went to the fields and he probably won't be back for a while. If you have anything urgent, go to the fields and look for him." Sister Chunlan enthusiastically poured Ji Yu a cup of tea.
"I'm here to see your sister-in-law Chunlan." Ji Yu said politely.
Chunlan was a little surprised and asked, "What's the point of you looking for a woman like me? I can't do anything and I don't pay much attention to what I do."
"Who said that? The Chairman said that women hold up half the sky. What I'm asking you for help with today is something that only you can do."
Ji Yu was indeed polite in his words. Although Sister Chunlan was of the same generation as him, she was about the same age as Ji Yu's mother. When Ji Yu's mother was alive, the two families were close.
Even though something happened to the Ji family later, Sister Chunlan still took good care of Ji Yu.
Looking at the candies that Ji Yu had placed on the table, Sister Chunlan quickly pushed them back: "Just tell me what's the matter. Don't make these empty promises. I've been friends with your mother for so many years, and I watched you grow up. How can I just sit back and do nothing if something happens?"
Only then did Ji Yu ask her for help.
"I want you to help me propose marriage to the Shen family."
Hearing Ji Yu's words, Sister Chunlan was a little embarrassed: "You have just recovered from your illness, and people may not be willing to marry their high school daughter to you! What's more, Old Man Shen has said that his daughter will go to college in the future, and the betrothal gift cannot be less than 500."
As soon as he heard the word "college student", Ji Yu knew that Sister Chunlan had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "The one I want to marry is not the eldest daughter of the Shen family. It's the second daughter of the Shen family, Shen Chaochao."
Hearing Shen Chaochao's name, Sister-in-law Chunlan's face became even uglier, and she persuaded: "Xiao Yu'er, sister-in-law has also watched you grow up. You are at least a high school graduate, and that second girl of the Shen family didn't even finish junior high school, and she is dark and can't speak. She was even pushed into marriage a few days ago. If you really want to get married, sister-in-law will find a better one for you in several nearby villages."
Hearing what Sister Chunlan said, Ji Yu quickly shook his head and said, "No. I like girls like Erya from the Shen family. They are hardworking and down-to-earth."
Seeing that he was so persistent, Sister Chunlan did not try to persuade him. She only said, "That's fine. If it's the second daughter of the Shen family, it should be possible. I'll ask for you this afternoon."
Ji Yu also nodded and added, "Please take care of it, sister-in-law. If the matter is settled this afternoon, I will go to propose marriage tomorrow, and it would be best if we can get married by the end of the month."
Hearing Ji Yu's words, Sister Chunlan couldn't help but say, "Why are you so anxious?"
Ji Yu had no choice but to scratch his head and explain: "I want to try again in July this year. So I want to get married early and have someone to take care of me."
Seeing Ji Yu's lonely appearance, Sister Chunlan also expressed her understanding. She quickly put down her work and planned to go right away.
Ji Yu also left Sister Chunlan's house.
When Sister Chunlan came out after cleaning up, she saw the candy put back on the table and said with a smile, "This kid!"
In the afternoon, before Ji Yu received any news from Sister-in-law Chunlan, he saw someone peeking at the door of his house.
Ji Yu walked over and lifted up the clothes at the back of her neck, and then pulled up the sneaky person hiding in the corner.
Only then did he see clearly that the person coming was Shen Chaochao.
Seeing her panic-stricken look, Ji Yu felt like laughing, so he took her into the house and poured her a glass of water.
"What are you doing sneaking around my door?" Ji Yu asked.
At this moment, Shen Chaochao, who was sitting at the table, stretched his neck, looking just like a quail.
Ji Yu took out a bag of peach cakes from his backpack, opened it and placed it in front of her.
"Why don't you speak?" Ji Yu asked again.
"Sister Chunlan said...said..." Shen Chaochao's voice was obviously trembling.
Seeing the other party's cautious look, Ji Yu pretended to be fierce and said, "What are you talking about?"
Shen Chaochao’s voice became even quieter: “She said you want to marry me.”
Ji Yu patted her head with relief and said, "Finally you said something. I won't be mean to you every time I ask you to say something to me in the future!"
Shen Chaochao lowered his head, not daring to say another word.
Ji Yu pushed the peach pastry towards her again and said, "It's for you to eat."
Chen Chaochao looked at the peach pastry in front of him. Although his eyes were full of desire, he didn't dare to move his hands.
Seeing her dull appearance, Ji Yu had no choice but to take a piece of peach cake and hand it to her mouth.
Shen Chaochao still couldn't help it and took a small bite.
"Take it quickly. You still want me to feed you?" Ji Yu said fiercely.
"Okay." Chen Chaochao carefully took the peach pastry and showed a very beautiful smile.
Ji Yu found that if she wasn't a little fierce and didn't speak in a commanding tone, she wouldn't dare to take the next step.
This is a bad habit, and I have to change it when I get married. People with a people-pleasing personality will suffer losses wherever they go.
Ji Yu found that Shen Chaochao actually looked pretty. Maybe it was because she often did farm work that made her skin darker and she was thin, so she looked a little ugly.
After raising it for two years, it will become white and plump and will definitely look good.
"Take another piece." Ji Yu said again.
Shen Chaochao didn’t dare to reach out.
Ji Yu raised his voice and repeated the previous sentence in a more aggressive tone.
Shen Chaochao carefully picked up another piece, but she didn't continue eating.
"Why don't you eat?" Ji Yu asked.
Shen Chaochao replied in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I want to take it back for my brother to eat."
