Chapter 16: Child Marriage
Ji Ziang felt a little embarrassed and quickly pulled Ji Zixuan over.
Qin Haowen took a bag of candy from the gift box, opened it and stuffed it into the two people: "Try it and see if it tastes good."
Seeing this, Li Xu stopped him and said, "Brother, don't tear it down..."
Cheng Shuqin held Li Xu's hand and said, "Don't worry about him. He just loves playing with children. We look about the same age. I don't know whether I should call you sister or elder sister."
Li Xu retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "I was born in 1964."
Cheng Shuqin was surprised and asked, "I was born on June 4th, too. What month were you born?"
"I'm from August."
Cheng Shuqin smiled and said, "Then I am a few months older than you, so you have to call me Big Sister."
Here, Qin Haowen asked curiously: "Isn't today Tuesday? Why didn't the children go to school?"
As he spoke, he opened another chocolate and put it in Ji Yuanyuan's hand.
He had no daughter, and when he saw how cute Ji Yuanyuan was, he couldn't help but touch her head, even making her braids crooked.
Li Yong said helplessly: "The children's household registration is still with their father. It's too far and inconvenient for them to go to school there. Now I want to move my sister and the children's household registration back, but it's not easy to do."
Qin Haowen nodded thoughtfully, obviously taking this matter to heart.
This was the first time that Ji Ziang had eaten chocolate in his life. His eyes were bright as he looked at Qin Haowen.
Qin Haowen smiled and gave the remaining box to Ji Ziang: "If you like it, uncle will send it to you when he returns."
Ji Ziang said in a clear voice: "Thank you, uncle."
"Sisters, it's all thanks to you. I heard what Mu Cheng said. If it weren't for you..." Cheng Shuqin said, her voice choked with sobs.
Li Xu is also a mother, so she can naturally understand Cheng Shuqin's feelings.
She held Cheng Shuqin's hand and said, "Sister, please don't say that. We didn't do anything. Mu Cheng is a smart kid."
Cheng Shuqin waved to Ji Yuanyuan who had been standing next to Li Xu.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at her mother-in-law from her previous life and couldn't help but step forward and stand in front of her.
Cheng Shuqin is a very good person. Before Qin Haowen passed away, she had always been very good to Ji Yuanyuan.
"What's your name?" Cheng Shuqin asked softly.
"My name is Ji Yuanyuan."
"Auntie doesn't have a daughter, how about you being my daughter?" After saying that, without waiting for Ji Yuanyuan to answer, he looked at Li Xu with a smile and said, "Sister, our two families are destined to be together. What I mean is, why don't we recognize each other as godparents and get along as relatives in the future, how about that?"
Li Xu was somewhat flattered. It was obvious at first glance that this family was either wealthy or noble, and they were related to an orphan and a widow...
Ji Yuanyuan resisted in her heart: Oh no, I don’t want to be your goddaughter, I want to be your daughter-in-law in the future.
Ji Ziang stuffed his mouth with chocolate and mumbled, "Why not arrange a baby marriage? My sister likes Mu Cheng."
Ji Ziang's words made everyone laugh. Li Yong smiled and flicked his head: "You are just a kid, how can you know what love is?"
Ji Ziang tilted his head, looking very serious: "It's true, Yuanyuan keeps looking at him, he's so handsome, if I were a woman, I'd like him too."
Qin Mucheng's face suddenly turned purple, and it was unclear whether he was shy or angry.
However, Ji Yuanyuan gave Ji Ziang a thumbs up in her heart: You are worthy of being my second brother, you really understand me.
The old man laughed out loud at Ji Ziang's words: "Then let's do this, arrange a baby marriage, and we will be closer in the future."
Li Xu was shocked, "This is unacceptable..."
Although she is just a rural woman, she knows a lot of things.
Their family is just an ordinary family in the countryside, while the other party is obviously not an ordinary family.
If the two families are not a good match, there will definitely be resentment between them in the future.
"Yuanyuan, do you like Brother Mu Cheng?" Cheng Shuqin thought for a moment and asked.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded vigorously: "I like it."
Cheng Shuqin looked at Qin Mucheng again: "Mucheng, do you like this sister?"
Qin Mucheng pursed his lips, looked at Ji Yuanyuan cautiously, and nodded.
This sister is pretty and he likes her.
Of course, Qin Mucheng is very young now, and this kind of liking is not the same as that kind of liking.
Cheng Shuqin smiled and looked at Li Xu: "Sister, I know what you are worried about. Nowadays, people emphasize free love, and the preferences of children are the most important. Now that the two children like each other, let's arrange the marriage. If in the future, one of them doesn't like the other or has someone else they like, then we can recognize a godparent and not force them to be together, how about that?"
Li Xu was still a little hesitant and looked at Ji Yuanyuan with embarrassment.
She didn't expect her daughter to marry a very outstanding person in the future. As long as Yuanyuan could be happy forever, that was enough.
Qin Xiaomin naturally knew what Li Xu was worried about, but this opportunity was rare, and she wished she could agree to it on behalf of Li Xu right away.
Although they both have the surname Qin, the Qin in their family is different from the Qin in Qin Mucheng's family.
The Qin family has a history of hundreds of years, so you can imagine how wealthy they are.
Qin Mucheng's branch is the main family. All the accumulation of the Qin family from ancient times to the present is in that branch.
They were just a branch that branched out. Because they were closer to the main family, they still had contact over the years.
The old man has traveled all over the country, and he has met all kinds of people. He naturally understood Li Xu's thoughts.
The old man was even more satisfied with this family.
He does not covet wealth or status, and always considers his children in everything.
"That's it. You two can decide what tokens to exchange. We can just act like relatives for now."
Hearing this, Qin Haowen immediately took off the jade pendant from Qin Mucheng's neck: "This is it."
After that, he stepped forward and put it around Ji Yuanyuan's neck: "This is what your brother Mu Cheng has worn since he was a child. It can bless you to be safe and sound in the future."
Seeing this, Li Yong hurried forward and pushed Li Xu: "Sister, what's on Yuanyuan?"
Li Xu came back to his senses and became worried.
There is nothing valuable on Ji Yuanyuan.
Cheng Shuqin immediately noticed the peach pit on Ji Yuanyuan's wrist.
She smiled and said, "Why not use this? It's good for warding off evil spirits."
Seeing this, Li Yong quickly took it off and put it in Qin Mucheng's hand.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the jade pendant around her neck and was dazed for a moment.
This jade pendant was also worn around her neck in her previous life.
The day after their marriage, Qin Mucheng gave it to her casually.
So, this is something he has been wearing since he was a child?
Qin Mucheng held the small peach pit in his hand and looked at Ji Yuanyuan quietly.
However, when Ji Yuanyuan looked at him, he quickly lowered his head.
Just like a little wife, Ji Yuanyuan thought, pursing her lips.
