Li Chunlan looked up when she heard a familiar voice and found Chang Jinguang. Her haggard face looked even worse. She picked up the weeds she had pulled out of the field and asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"

Noticing Li Chunlan's defensiveness, Chang Jinguang was a little surprised, but he didn't give up yet, "It's nothing, I just passed by and came to see you.

I don’t know why, but your shadow always appears in my mind these days.”

He took a step closer, leaned against the bamboo fence of Li's house with a look of deep affection, and poured out his heart to Li Chunlan.

"Chunlan, have you ever thought about me?"

Chang Jinguang was very sure that Li Chunlan usually behaved too obviously in front of him. She was a simple country girl who secretly had a crush on him.

"Aren't you going to work? I heard from the captain that you only earned six or seven work points per day this month. You're still going to starve at the end of the month!"

"How can you think about your love when you can't even fill your stomach?"

"You're not going to get two work points for each wheat seedling!"

Li Shitou, with his sweaty head buried behind the fence, looked at Chang Jinguang with disdain, "Sister, you are so useless, even lazier than my sister-in-law, who used to get six work points when she went to work."

The brother and sister teamed up to scold Chang Jinguang, especially Li Shitou, who said unpleasant things and even picked up dried chicken feces from the bed and threw them at Chang Jinguang.

"Get away from me! If you dare to be a hooligan to my sister, I will make you eat chicken shit!"

Chang Jinguang never thought that this country girl, whom he had tried so hard to marry, would reject him out of character.

What happened?

He took two steps back and raised his hands to show his innocence, "Comrade Li Chunlan, I was too reckless. I apologize to you. Are you scared?

Maybe you have a misunderstanding about me, but you don’t want to say it and give me a chance to explain.”

"Why don't you leave?" Li Shitou shouted towards the front yard, "Brother Xiao, Brother Two, Brother Three, come here quickly. Someone is being a hooligan and trying to bully Sister Lan."

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving, stop shouting," Chang Jinguang took a few steps back and left without looking back.

Seeing the person walking further and further away, the pile of weeds in Li Chunlan's arms slipped down weakly, she covered her face and cried softly.

Li Shitou was at a loss, he squatted down and rubbed against her, patting her back with his hand, "Sister Lan, what's wrong with you? Did that person bully you?

Don't cry, I, Li Shitou, will avenge you. Today I will go to the gate of the educated youth center and dig a pit. I will let you fall into the pit and die! I will throw a wasp nest on your bed and kill you!"

But Li Chunlan's crying became louder and louder, and Li Shitou was completely at a loss. He said with a bitter face, "Sister, don't cry, can't I call you ancestor?

If you cry, your mother will scold me again. I didn’t make you angry today.”

Li Chunlan's muffled voice came from the crook of her arm, "Li Shitou, take your dirty hands away. You just grabbed chicken shit."

"Oh, okay, stop crying."

"I didn't cry!"

Li Chunlan wiped away her tears. She had cried twice for a stinky man who was not worthy of her. That was enough. She would never cry again.

Today's working hours seemed particularly unbearable. As soon as he got off work, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative, greeted the familiar salesperson, and ordered a bicycle.

Li Zi wants to run a hair band business, so she has to go to the city often. Now I ride her bike to work, so I am thinking of ordering a new one for her.

Besides, the black market was not peaceful, and as a girl, she needed some self-defense tools.

Thinking of this, he found his former comrade-in-arms, who is now working in the county police, and asked if he had any self-defense items. In the end, he got a small dagger.

Qi Qiang tried it and found it quite sharp, but he was afraid that Jiang Li would not know how to use it and might hurt himself.

Jiang Li bought some cloth and went home to make hair ties as usual, but today she became distracted after a while, and became even more restless when it was almost time for Qi Qiang to get off work.

Chen Xianyun saw her and laughed at her, "Lizi, you are usually the one who can sit still the most, what's wrong with you today?"

Jiang Li's face flushed, and she carried a small stool to pick beans with Chen Xianyun. The old lady was outside carefully checking the dates that were about to ripen, "In the blink of an eye, it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival. These dates will be eaten soon."

"Lizi, what do you want to eat for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Vegetables are hard to buy at the supply and marketing cooperative during the festival, so ask Xiaoqiang to bring them back in advance. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather will get colder, and you won't be able to store the food if you buy too much."

Jiang Li thought about it and felt a little hungry. "Mom, let's make some pig's trotter stewed with soybeans. I'll have some for you, too."

"become!"

The old lady also laughed, "Yun, before the weather gets colder, let's take apart and wash the thicker quilts, and then make two sets of thick clothes for Li Zi."

"Mom, your clothes are old, so you should make a new one. I have saved some cloth coupons today, and the factory has issued cotton coupons, so we can make one for each of us."

Chen Xianyun made the decision, and Jiang Li raised her hand, "Mom, give me the cloth coupons, and I'll pay for the money. I'll make new clothes for both mom and grandma."

The old lady smiled so hard that she couldn't stop. "You should keep those few dollars for yourself. I'm old and wrinkled, why would I want to show off my beauty? No, no."

"Who said that? I think among all the old ladies, my grandma is the most energetic. If she were a few years younger, she would definitely be the most beautiful girl in Bailutang."

Jiang Li's funny words made the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laugh. Chen Xianyun held her stomach and couldn't straighten her back. Old Madam Qi even tapped her forehead with her finger and said, "You slick girl, you don't know how to make an old lady laugh."

Jiang Li hugged old lady Qi and took a deep breath. It smelled so good. The old lady had a pleasant smell.

Jiang Li felt extremely happy. After coming to the Qi family, Old Lady Qi and Chen Xianyun treated her like their own daughter and thought of her everywhere.

Chen Xianyun is kind and generous, the old lady is wise and open-minded, and the family is always full of laughter.

"Grandma, Mom, when I make money in the future, I will definitely be filial to you. When the time comes, I will buy a house in the city and take you to live in the city."

Qi Qiang just walked in and saw this scene. His wife's face was flushed, and she was lying in the old lady's arms like a kitten, and her mother was picking vegetables beside her, laughing.

놛 smiled unconsciously, "Grandma, Mom, daughter-in-law, I'm back."

Jiang Li stood up suddenly, and when their eyes met, Jiang Li's face turned red as if blood was about to drip out. However, Qi Qiang took the beans from her hand and continued to pick them comfortably.

After dinner, when Jiang Li went to take a shower, her eyes fell on her underwear.

She slapped her head, wondering why she had been so careless at the time and had to make it into this style.

If she were to ask him forcefully, how would she answer?

Before she could think of a solution, Qi Qiang called her outside and asked her to hand out the dirty clothes.
