Zhang Caiqin took a deep breath and said, "Your family is really loyal to you. They just lent you one thousand yuan? Did they tell you how much you should pay back? Do you want interest?"
"No interest, just borrow as much as you want and pay back as much as you want."
Zhang Caiqin nodded repeatedly: "So, Ercheng really helped us a lot."
"Of course not. If I didn't have this house, your father wouldn't want you to marry into our family. We can't live in our old house."
Zhang Caiqin said shyly: "I know you want to grow old with me and spend your life with me. I understand. We can pay this money back year by year and month by month. Sooner or later, we will pay it back."
Lu Yan reached out and touched Zhang Caiqin's pretty face: "I'm sorry to have made you suffer with me."
"It's not hard. I live in this house too. We can work together as a couple to pay off the debt."
Lu Yan leaned in and said, "Marrying you is the most accurate thing I have done in my life!"
Zhang Caiqin felt very warm in her heart: "Well, if I marry Brother Yan, I will be content for the rest of my life."
"Yeah." Guo Xiuxiu was listening to the young couple's conversation at the door. She felt embarrassed for a moment, but her face was full of joy and smiles.
"Hey! Mom, why are you here?" It was Lu Yan who heard Guo Xiuxiu's voice for the first time.
Zhang Caiqin said, "Mom, come in and sit down. I'll pour you a bowl of tea."
"No, no, I just came to give you some water spinach so you can make noodles."
Lu Yan smiled and said, "Water spinach? I like this one."
Zhang Caiqin went to the kitchen and got a basket of small dishes. "Mom, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard. How much do you want?"
Guo Xiuxiu's small basket was full of water spinach, which had been washed with well water and was still dripping with water.
"Mom, have you washed all the vegetables?"
Zhang Caiqin asked in a soft voice.
"Hey, it's washed and clean. Just throw it directly into the pot when you cook the noodles."
"Hey, thanks, Mom!"
"Then I'm going back."
Zhang Caiqin took half of the water spinach from Guo Xiuxiu's basket.
"This water spinach is enough for us to make three servings of noodles!"
"Quite a few!"
Zhang Caiqin put the small basket back into the kitchen.
Her little face was still red and showed a hint of emotion.
The young couple was in love.
Guo Xiuxiu didn't have anything good to give them, so she just gave them some fresh water spinach to try.
Zhang Caiqin made some noodles in the evening. The newlyweds were quite generous with their food, so at least the noodles were enough to satisfy their hunger.
I had sauerkraut noodles at noon.
Now cooking a bowl of water spinach noodles at night is quite comfortable.
Lu Yan saw that Zhang Caiqin had prepared hot water for him to take a bath, so he went to the bathroom immediately.
This Lu Yan's house also has two toilets like the one in Lu Cheng's house.
This also made Zhang Caiqin excited for a long time.
Several young sisters-in-law in the village were all jealous.
Like Yu Xiaohe and Zhou Sanxiang.
Zhang Caiqin's house is new again. Although it is a small adobe and wooden structure, it is warm in winter and cool in summer. This kind of life is what Zhang Caiqin is looking forward to.
Although it is said that love is enough to drink water, but do you really need to drink water?
That can only fill you up for a while. If you really want to be full, you still need food.
Lu Yan also borrowed Lu Chengjia's bicycle several times to buy some food.
Look, there is still food at home.
Compared to some poor families, Lu Yan's life is considered average.
After Lu Cheng returned home, he put ten yuan in the small iron box in Shen Shuang's room. This was where Shen Shuang usually kept her pocket money.
There are usually a few dozen yuan in small change here.
As for large-denomination bills, Shen Shuang locked them up separately.
After all, Shen Shuang also attaches great importance to things like money and generally does not show them off easily.
At this time, Shen Shuang was busy in the kitchen, and even the three older brothers and sisters were busy.
After Lu Cheng put the money away, he went to the kitchen to see: "Are you making dumplings so late?"
"Well, how about that? Do you like eating dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival?"
"Yeah, I like it!"
Shen Shuang smiled sweetly.
Xiao Xiangma said, "Brother Ercheng, my sister always smiles beautifully when she looks at you."
Lu Chengshen touched Xiaoxiang's head and said, "Little guy, aren't you happy to see Brother Ercheng?"
“Happy!”
"I'm happy too!" said Xiaoshuan Maxiao.
San Ya smiled and touched her nose: "Who can be happier than me? I am the happiest!"
Lu Cheng wiped the white flour on Sanya's nose and said, "Sanya, your nose has turned white."
Sanya took a dumpling and said, "White Nose, I want to make dumplings too! It's so fun!"
"Okay, okay, eat more dumplings tonight!"
"Yes! Can I help too?"
Shen Shuang said while rolling out the dough: "No, it's not worth it for you to get involved."
Lu Cheng smiled and said, "I'll go light the oil lamp. It's getting dark."
"That's fine."
Lu Cheng entered the living room, took the oil lamp and lit the wick with a match.
Suddenly there was a small fire light.
Lu Cheng gently closed the lid of the oil lamp and carried it to the kitchen.
The oil lamp was placed on the table in the kitchen. My brothers and sisters had already filled two pots with leek and pork dumplings.
Seeing that everyone was busy working, Lu Cheng sat down in front of the stove and added some wood to the fire. The water in the pot began to boil.
Shen Shuang said, "Brother Cheng, please help me get a pot of hot water. I may need some water later in the evening."
"Oh, okay, I'll do it."
Lu Cheng went to the living room to get a kettle, even though he usually didn't do much housework.
But the movement of scooping water is as smooth as flowing water.
The boiling water was poured into the kettle spoonful by spoonful.
Just as Lu Cheng was putting the plug in the kettle, he heard footsteps outside: "Ercheng, Ercheng! Come out for a moment!"
Lu Cheng and Shen Shuang looked at each other, and Shen Shuang frowned slightly and said, "It sounds like the voice of my aunt."
"I'll go check it out. You guys can make your own dumplings first, and I'll make mine when I come back."
"Yeah, okay."
Shen Shuang followed out with a little worry, her face still a little stained with dough.
"Ercheng, I'm your aunt."
"What's wrong, Auntie?"
He Guimei said nervously, "Ercheng, Lu Nian said she has a stomachache. I wonder if she ate something bad. I'll get you a wolfberry, grind it into powder and let her swallow it."
When Lu Cheng heard this, he said, "I'll go to the village with you to see her."
Lu Cheng, Lu Nian, this girl is not as selfish as Lu Lan.
During the weekends, Lu Nian also played with Xiao Shuan, Xiao Xiang and the other three girls.
But Lu Lan always acts like a mean person.
Either they create trouble, or they spread rumors.
She learned the same thing from her mother Zheng Hui.
So even though Lu Nian was sick, Lu Cheng still cared about her a little.
Lu Cheng took out two wolf puppies and followed He Guimei to her home.
Seeing Lu Nian's forehead wet with cold sweat from the pain, he asked, "How is it? Where does your stomach hurt?"
Lu Chengshen pressed on Lu Nian's stomach.
Lu Nian said: "That's how painful it is."
Lu Cheng took a look and found the prescription for acute appendicitis.
