“It’s me, it’s me,” Lin Chaosheng reassured Ao Bai and the general. “This is my wife, Liang Mei. I’ve come to introduce her to you.”
Liang Mei hid behind Lin Chaosheng and clung tightly to his arm. "Chaosheng, these... these aren't your dogs, are they? They look so scary!"
“It’s alright,” Lin Chaosheng pulled Liang Mei into the group of Ao Bai and the general. “They are very well-behaved and will not hurt anyone. Do you want to touch them?”
Liang Mei cautiously peeked out from behind Lin Chaosheng and saw that although Ao Bai and the general looked very fierce, their expressions were quite docile. Ao Bai was even sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail at Liang Mei.
“Let me touch it,” Liang Mei said cautiously as she approached, her other hand still gripping Lin Chaosheng’s arm tightly. “Don’t stay too far away from me, okay?”
Lin Chaosheng quickly hugged Liang Mei, "Don't worry, I'll stay by your side the whole time."
Liang Mei tremblingly raised her hand and touched Ao Bai's head. She was initially afraid, but when she touched the warm, big dog's head, she immediately relaxed.
"It feels so good on its head!" Liang Mei exclaimed in surprise, as Ao Bai kept rubbing against Liang Fu's hand after being touched so comfortably.
Liang Mei immediately stopped being afraid, let go of Lin Chaosheng's arm, and stroked General's head. The two dogs, perhaps feeling the maternal care Liang Mei was giving them, rubbed their whole bodies against her palm.
Liang Mei kept complaining of being tickled by the two dogs, and only stopped when she felt tired after playing with them for a while. "They are so energetic, I get tired after playing with them for a short time."
"Tired? Let's go home and rest." Lin Chaosheng squatted down beside Liang Mei.
Liang Mei took Lin Chaosheng's hand and walked towards the bicycle. Lin Chaosheng suddenly grabbed her, "Look at the ground over there."
Lin Chaosheng pointed to the watermelon patch he had just bought a few days ago, "That's the patch I recently bought, and I'm going to use it all to grow watermelons."
"Such a large piece of land?!" Liang Mei was very surprised.
Lin Chaosheng waved his hand dismissively, "What's the big deal? This little bit of land isn't even enough for me to make a big sale."
"Can I eat these watermelons then?"
"Of course, that goes without saying!" Lin Chaosheng gently rubbed Liang Mei's head.
"Then I'll come and help you plant watermelons!" Liang Mei happily kissed Lin Chaosheng.
Lin Chaosheng nodded, took Liang Mei's hand and walked towards the bicycle, "Okay, you'll be busy then. Let's go home first."
Lin Chaosheng got on his bicycle, and Liang Mei hugged his waist from behind. The two of them slowly rode back home from the fields.
“Hey, right,” Lin Chaosheng suddenly remembered something, “Let’s not tell our parents we made them a gold necklace yet. We can surprise them with it later. What do you think?”
“Sure, and if we tell Mom now, she’ll definitely make us return it. So we can just bring the gold necklace back to her, and that way, it’ll be a done deal, and she won’t be able to make us return it,” Liang Mei agreed.
Lin Chaosheng pinched Liang Mei's cheek, "You're such a clever little devil!"
"Mom and Dad, we're back!" Lin Chaosheng shouted as he put down his bicycle. "Come and see if you like these fabrics!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shufang and Lin Shanhai immediately ran out, took the fabric from Lin Chaosheng's hand, and examined it carefully.
"Wow, this pattern, this texture, it must be really expensive, right?" Zhao Shufang frowned as she touched it.
"So what? Your son has money anyway," Lin Chaosheng said confidently.
“Mother, would you like me to make you another dress? I think you look especially good in dresses,” Liang Mei asked.
Zhao Shufang hurriedly waved her hand, "Silly child, your mother is already so old, why would I wear a skirt? Just make me a top and a pair of pants."
"Mother!" Liang Mei hurriedly dissuaded her, "How can you say that? Who says people have to wear certain clothes at a certain age?"
Zhao Shufang smiled shyly, "Then Mother would be too embarrassed to wear it out."
“Then you can wear it on important occasions!” Liang Fu quickly chimed in.
Zhao Shufang couldn't accept wearing pretty and flashy clothes, so she shook her head.
Liang Mei wanted to dissuade him, but Lin Chaosheng stopped her, saying, "It's alright, Mother will adapt when times change."
Helpless, Liang Mei could only nod and stop talking for the time being.
"What are you all doing standing there?" Lin Shansheng opened the door and saw a family standing in the courtyard, surrounding a package.
Lin Chaosheng came back today and quickly said, "Come and see, your sister-in-law has picked out some fabric for you, and she'll make you a new outfit."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shansheng quickly moved closer, saying, "Let me see, let me see."
He picked up the fabric and examined it closely. "This fabric is so soft! I won't even want to wear it."
"If you don't want to wear it, then let me wear it," Lin Chaosheng teased Lin Shansheng upon seeing this.
Lin Shansheng quickly hugged the fabric tightly, "That won't do. This was picked out for me by my sister-in-law. If you want something else, ask her to make something else for you."
Lin Chaosheng scoffed, "Your sister-in-law has made me so many, who cares about yours?"
Liang Mei covered her mouth and laughed, "I'll make them all for you, stop arguing."
Then she asked, "I'll make a sample for you to see in a bit, and you can choose one."
Lin Shanhai waved his hands repeatedly, "Any style is fine. I'm already old, why would I need to pick a new style?"
“Yes, yes, you can choose the styles yourselves. My husband and I will just choose the simplest top and trousers,” Zhao Shufang agreed from the side.
Ignoring their refusal, Liang Mei pulled Liang Fu into the house and began drawing a new design.
When Liang Mei sat down and started drawing, Liang Fu noticed the new ring on her hand. "Sister, what's this?"
Liang Mei then remembered that she was wearing a gold ring and said embarrassedly, "This is a pair of rings that your brother-in-law and I just got made in the county."
Liang Fu said enviously, "Is this pure gold? My brother-in-law is so kind!"
To give Liang Fu a big surprise, Liang Mei held back and didn't tell her that she had also made her a new necklace. She nodded and said, "I'll find you a husband just as good as this in the future."
Liang Fu plopped down next to Liang Mei, took her arm, and rested her head on Liang Mei's shoulder: "I don't want to get married. I want to stay with you all for the rest of my life."
Liang Mei put down her pen and gently flicked the tip of her nose. "You can't talk nonsense. What if you really become an old maid?"
Looking at Lin Shansheng bustling about outside the window, Liang Fu felt very depressed. She felt that if she couldn't marry someone like her brother-in-law, she might as well not marry at all. So she said, "So what if I'm an old maid? I'll just have your little one recognize me as his godmother. Anyway, I can take care of you for the rest of your lives."
