"Sister-in-law, when I entered the village this afternoon, I saw a river nearby. We could go down and take a bath there."
Wei Dajiang suddenly asked.
Wang Yongjin: "Of course you can. I'm not bragging. The water in Xiushui River is so clean that you can drink it directly. In the summer, all the men in our village dive into the Xiushui River. There's no need to boil water at home for bathing."
Xu Yaqing: "Do you think Boss Wei and Boss Xia are rough people like you?"
Xia Mingfeng: "It's been a while since I went swimming in the river. Since we have the conditions tonight, Lao Wei and I will follow Brother Wang to go swimming in the river."
Wei Dajiang: "The river water is cool, just right to sober up."
"Mother of the child, you don't understand. This is how we men take a shower."
Wang Yongjin looked at Xu Yaqing with a smug expression.
Finally, Wang Yongjin and Lu Feng, the third master, took Xia Mingfeng and Wei Dajiang to the Xiushui River to take a bath, while Chen Ju, Xu Yaqing and Qin Yu helped Mei Cuiping clean up the table.
Yun Aiguo and his son drew water from the well and boiled it for the women in the family to bathe.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the Yun family members were dressed in fresh clothes and sat under the melon trellis in the yard to chat and enjoy the cool air.
Qin Yu was wearing a white coat and knee-length shorts of Yun Yongcheng.
Mei Cuiping sat aside, looking at her future daughter-in-law from time to time, smiling from ear to ear.
Even before they got married, she realized that Xiaoyu and Yongcheng looked like a good match.
They are indeed a match made in heaven.
"Xiaoyu, you must be tired today."
While talking, Mei Cuiping used a palm-leaf fan to drive away mosquitoes for Qin Yuyunmian.
"I originally asked you to come and eat hot pot, but I made you follow me around and run around."
"Uncle, you are too polite. This is what I should do. Besides, I am just helping you with chores. It's not tiring."
After all, they had only met a few times, and facing such an enthusiastic future mother-in-law, Qin Yu seemed a little at a loss.
She glanced at the palm-leaf fan in Mei Cuiping's hand that was used to drive away mosquitoes, moved her lips, and wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.
Yunmian saw through her mother's thoughts immediately. After giving her a wink, she reached out her chubby hand and grabbed her grandmother's arm: "Grandma, I'm sleepy."
Only then did Mei Cuiping turn her gaze away from her daughter-in-law and look at Yun Mian.
"Mianmian is sleepy, so go back to the room and sleep. You have to go to school tomorrow, so it's better to go to bed early."
After Yun Mian finished speaking, Mei Cuiping still sat motionless on the stone bench.
Yunmian's plan failed.
In the past, if she said she was sleepy, her grandmother would immediately send her back to her room to sleep and tell her a bedtime story.
Sure enough, with her mother as her daughter-in-law, who is both virtuous and academically excellent, her chubby little granddaughter is no longer so attractive.
"Grandma, please come back to the house with me. You haven't finished telling me the story of Kong Rong giving away his pears the other day."
In order to save her mother, Yun Mian hugged Mei Cuiping's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, grandma will take you back to your room to sleep."
As soon as Yunmian started acting coquettishly, Mei Cuiping had no choice but to stand up and hold one of her chubby little hands.
Before leaving, Mei Cuiping turned around and warned Yun Yongcheng: "Yongcheng, take good care of Xiaoyu. The village is not like the town. It's pitch black everywhere at night, and the ground is bumpy. Xiaoyu's ankle injury has just healed, so don't sprain it again."
After Mei Cuiping took Yun Mian away, only Yun Yongcheng, Qin Yu and Yun Aiguo were left under the melon vines.
His wife and granddaughter went back to the house, and Yun Yongcheng faced his son and future daughter-in-law alone, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"I've been busy all day and I'm very tired. I'm going back to my room to sleep. Yongcheng, Xiaoyu still has to go to work tomorrow. Don't chat with Xiaoyu for too long. Send her to Mianmian's room to rest early."
Yun Aiguo, like Mei Cuiping, gave Yun Yongcheng some instructions, then stood up and left.
As soon as the two Taishans left, Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and Yun Yongcheng followed her in relief.
"Brother Yun."
"Xiaoyu."
The two looked at each other and spoke in unison.
"Xiaoyu, you speak first."
Yun Yongcheng spoke awkwardly.
Qin Yu blushed and said, "Brother Yun, I'm not sleepy yet. I think the night view of Xiushui Village is quite beautiful. Can you accompany me for a walk in the village?"
"Okay, Xiaoyu, wait for me for a moment. I'll go back to the house to get a flashlight."
Yunmian lay on her little bed, listening absentmindedly to her grandmother's stories.
Because of practicing "Qilin Jue", she now has sharp ears and eyes, and she paid special attention to the conversation between Yun Yongcheng and Qin Yu with bated breath. When she heard Yun Yongcheng opening the door and returning to the house, she covered her mouth with her hand and yawned.
"Grandma, let's tell the rest of the story tomorrow. I want to go to bed."
After Yunmian finished speaking, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Mei Cuiping covered her with a thin blanket, looked at her rosy little face and smiled kindly and gently, then turned off the lights and tiptoed out.
The light in the room dimmed, and Yunmian opened her eyes immediately when she heard her grandmother's footsteps leaving. She got out of bed using her hands and feet, found her shoes, put them on, and tiptoed out the door.
"ah."
Yun Mian had just walked out of the old Yun family's yard when a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of her. She was so scared that she couldn't control her mouth and screamed.
Chu Yu ate too much at night and couldn't sleep, so he went out for a walk to digest the food. Not long after he came out of the community house, he saw a small figure sneaking out of Lao Yun's yard.
Seeing Yunmian's sneaky look, she seemed to be about to go out. Worried that it would be dangerous for Yunmian to go out so late, he walked up to her and stretched out his hand to block the little girl.
"Sister Mianmian, it's me, Brother Chu."
After hearing Chu Yu's voice, Yun Mian calmed down and looked at the young man in front of him, muttering dissatisfiedly: "Brother Chu, why are you running out at this time of night instead of sleeping? Besides, scaring people will scare them to death."
"It's all my fault. I scared you. Don't be afraid. I'm here."
In the dim moonlight, Chu Yu saw a frightened expression on Yun Mian's little face, and hurriedly reached out and patted Yun Mian's back twice, just like an adult would gently pat a child to sleep.
"I just saw Uncle Yun and Aunt Qin go out. Sister Mianmian, why are you not sleeping so late? Are you trying to follow them to see what Uncle Yun and Aunt Qin are doing? Don't peek at what adults are doing, you little kid."
"I don't mean to peek at my dad and Aunt Qin."
Yunmian followed out secretly, not to peek at her father and mother kissing.
"It's only nine o'clock now, and there are still people enjoying the cool air at the village entrance. My father is walking around the village with Aunt Qin. I'm worried that my father and Aunt Qin will run into someone from Old Wang's family, so I have to follow them."
At night, it was particularly cool under the big weeping willow tree at the entrance of Xiushui Village. The villagers gathered under the tree with kerosene lamps. The women were mending shoe soles, the men were chatting and smoking, and some old people even moved a table under the tree to play a few games of chess. It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that the villagers gathered under the big weeping willow tree left.
