A lot of things happened today, so the family went to bed early after dinner.

The next day, Gu Jingping stood at the door early in the morning. Yan Sisi opened the door and looked at him. He was dressed differently from usual, in a white shirt, black pants, and his hairstyle was obviously well-groomed. He looked much more handsome.

Yan Sisi looked at Gu Jingping with sparkling eyes, smiled and said, "Good morning, Jingping."

Gu Jingping saw Yan Sisi in a red dress at first sight. It was the first time he saw her wearing such bright clothes. She looked indescribably charming. He stared at her for a while before replying, "Good morning, Sisi."

After the two of them got close, Gu Jingping whispered to her, "You look very beautiful today!"

Being praised, Yan Sisi felt the heat slowly spreading from her neck. Although she was often praised, there was always a special feeling when it came from his mouth, and her heart was pounding.

After Yan Sisi welcomed the guests in, she went back to her room to calm herself down. Today was her engagement day, and she was not nervous at first, but she suddenly became nervous when she saw Gu Jingping coming.

Yan Sisi adjusted her breathing in the room and tidied her hair before leaving the room. Just then she saw her parents were also dressed up. The family, led by Gu Jingping, walked towards the Guoxiang Hotel with great energy.

The Gu family, who had been waiting on the third floor, watched Gu Jingping coming up the stairs. Gu Sheng, who was sitting in the main seat, immediately stood up and laughed at Yan Aiguo who followed behind him, and shouted, "Aiguo, you're finally here."

Yan Aiguo looked up and immediately responded loudly: "Master, it's great to see you. You look much healthier."

After saying that, he strode over.

After Mr. Gu and others came over, they introduced themselves to their son Gu Yanqin who was standing next to them. Then the three men sat back in their seats and started chatting with each other.

Gu Jingping's aunt pulled Yan's mother aside to chat. As the protagonists of today, Yan Sisi and Gu Jingping walked at the end and sat down quietly. No one mentioned their conversation and no one interrupted them. The two of them sat in their seats and chatted in low voices.

They chatted until almost noon before starting to eat. Yan Sisi and Gu Jingping were actually there for the meal, while the parents were discussing something in detail. Yan Sisi just listened for a moment and then stopped listening carefully.

After the meal, the parents had almost finished their chat. Before leaving, Gu Jingping's father solemnly handed an exquisite hollow box to Yan Sisi, and then left.

After returning home and sending the people away, Yan Sisi curiously opened the box and took a look. Inside was a emerald green jade bracelet. She took it out and said to her mother, "Mom, take a look at this?"

Mother Yan took it in her hand and looked at it carefully. "This jade is of very good quality, with even color and bright luster. You must keep it well."

Such a fine quality jadeite was given as a gift during the engagement. It seems that Xiao Gu's family values ​​their daughter very much. This is very good. If she is valued by her husband's family, the possibility of suffering in the future will be much less.

After today's meal, it seemed that their family was very friendly. The most important thing was that Sisi was doing well without the pressure of her mother-in-law.

She has been married for so many years, and although her mother-in-law is quite nice to her, she has seen many families where the mother-in-law bullies the daughter-in-law, and she does not want her daughter-in-law to marry into such a family.

Upon hearing this, Yan Sisi put the jade back into the box and placed it in the box in her space where she kept valuables, which contained some of her accumulated savings.

Thinking that she would be going back to J City tomorrow, Yan Sisi grabbed a chicken, some vegetables and fruits from the space and put them in the kitchen. She took a small amount of each item as the weather was hot now and they would not last long if left outside.

After she officially started school, she could only come back during holidays. Thinking of this, Yan Sisi poured some more spiritual spring water into the bucket.

After all preparations were completed, at noon the next day, Yan Sisi and Gu Jingping boarded the train back to J City together.

After three days, although she didn't walk much, Yan Sisi felt very tired. As soon as she returned to her uncle's house, she hid in her room to rest.

When she woke up, it was already the next morning. Yan Sisi felt her hungry stomach and went downstairs to eat. She saw her brother sitting there, "Brother, do you have any food?"

"Aunt Liu, bring the meal. Sisi is up." Tang Mingze shouted to the kitchen, then turned to look at his cousin who had just gotten up. "Aunt Liu said that you fell asleep without even eating when you came back yesterday?"

Yan Sisi rubbed her eyes, pulled herself together and replied, "I was so tired that I fell asleep without realizing it."

Yan Sisi ate her breakfast and asked her cousin, "Brother, do you have anything to do today?"

"Aren't you moving today? Don't worry, I'm ready to serve you all day long." Tang Mingze said to Yan Sisi who was eating while lying on a chair.

"Thank you so much. We'll start after I finish eating." Yan Sisi put the crispy fried egg into her mouth. She really liked the crispy texture, and the light salty taste passed into her mind.

Yan Sisi finished her meal quickly and went upstairs to pack up the remaining items. She had already sent most of the things to the old house, so this time only some simple toiletries and daily necessities were left.

Soon, Yan Sisi went downstairs carrying two small bags, handed them to her cousin who was waiting at the door, got in the car and drove towards the old house.

All the things were carried by her cousin. Yan Sisi, who had nothing in her hands, opened the gate of the old house first and instructed her brother to put the things into the room. Facing the empty yard outside, she looked back at today's free labor, thinking it would be a waste if not used.

Yan Sisi thought of her previous plan, took out the two shovels she had bought from the tool room, and handed them directly to her brother, "Here."

"Why are you giving this to me?" Tang Mingze took it subconsciously, raised his head to look at his cousin, and looking at her expression, he suddenly felt something was wrong: She didn't want him to dig the ground!

"What else can a shovel be used for? Of course, it's used to dig the soil. Brother, you are strong, so help me dig the yard. I want to plant something here." Yan Sisi looked at her brother with a smile, not feeling embarrassed at all.

After saying this, she was not afraid that her brother would not agree, and she walked towards the yard first.

Yan Sisi looked around the yard and began to draw long grids on the ground with the tip of a shovel according to the plan in her mind. She also left a passage in the middle for people to pass through. Finally, she laid the bricks and ceramic tiles that she had removed earlier in the passage so that her shoes would not get dirty when it rained.

Tang Mingze looked at his cousin who had already taken action, sighed, and walked out helplessly. Under his cousin's command, he began to honestly play the role of a digging tool.

As time went by, the weather was getting hotter. Yan Sisi said hello to her cousin and went out, pretending to buy some vegetables and watermelons.

Yan Sisi handed the watermelon in the basket to her cousin and said, "Brother, please put the watermelon in the well to cool down for a while and eat it after dinner."

Tang Mingze, the tool man of Shichu, was ordered by his cousin to plant watermelons before he had a good rest.

Yan Sisi washed the vegetables taken out of the space carefully. The weather was too hot and she didn't want to cook anything complicated. She first made a simple candied tomato and put it there. Then she instructed her cousin to light the fire and fry two poached eggs and some vegetables. Finally, she cooked two bowls of plain noodles and put the vegetables and poached eggs on top of the noodles when filling the bowls.

After the rice was cooked, I shouted to my cousin who was still cooking, "Brother, the noodles are ready, you can turn off the fire."

After saying that, he scooped some cold water into the still steaming iron pot so that it would be easier to clean.

Two bowls of Yangchun noodles and a bowl of candied tomatoes were placed on the dining table in the living room. Tang Mingze was already hungry after working hard all morning, so he picked up the bowl and started eating, taking a bite of noodles and a bite of tomatoes. While eating, he praised: "Cousin, I didn't realize that you are a good cook, especially this tomato, it's sour and sweet and really delicious."

Yan Sisi listened to her brother's praise and raised her eyebrows proudly, "What I make must be delicious."

After showing off, Yan Sisi lowered her head and ate her own noodles. With her brother’s praise, she also felt that the meal she cooked was delicious.

After a while, the two finished eating. After Yan Sisi washed the dishes, she instructed her cousin to pick up the watermelon from the well. The watermelon cracked open with a slight cut. The red watermelon flesh inside looked very appetizing.

Yan Sisi quickly cut a few pieces of watermelon, and the two of them took a bite of the cut watermelon. The crisp, sweet and juicy feeling immediately came to their brains.

Tang Mingze asked in confusion: "Why can you always buy such delicious watermelons, but I have never been able to buy one?"

He also bought watermelons several times, but when he cut them open, they were not as delicious as the ones his cousin bought.

Yan Sisi, "Maybe I'm better at choosing, and you're not!"

Such delicious watermelons are grown in her space and cannot be bought outside.

After the two men finished half of the watermelon, they rested for a while and waited until the temperature outside dropped before continuing to run out to dig the ground.

It was not until dark that the two of them finished digging all the land in the yard. Yan Sisi looked at her brother's hair, which was soaked with sweat, and said confidently, "Brother, when I grow the vegetables, I will save the first one for you to eat."

Tang Mingze wiped the sweat off his head and said unhappily, "Forget it. Don't waste my energy by not growing anything. I won't dig for you a second time."

Growing vegetables? Although his cousin was born in the countryside, she had never worked on the land since she was a child. How could she grow vegetables?

It was just that he was willing to play with her because he was afraid of dampening her enthusiasm.

Yan Sisi looked at her cousin's expression of disbelief and said nothing more. She planned to give him a good scare when she grew the fruit to see how he would react.

Yan Sisi looked at the sky that was getting dark and felt something was wrong, and felt the wind blowing in the air. She hurriedly sent her brother back to prevent it from raining, and locked the door tightly after he left.

Yan Sisi returned to the house. It was much easier to eat alone. She just fried some vegetables and noodles and dealt with it like that.

When she finished her meal and came out to take a walk in the yard, there was suddenly lightning and thunder in the sky, and crackling rain fell heavily from the sky.

Yan Sisi quickly ran to the room, closed all the doors and windows for ventilation, and leaned against the window to look at the heavy rain outside, hoping that her brother would not get wet on his way back.

The next day, Yan Sisi really didn't want to make breakfast, so she ran out to buy a cup of soy milk and fried dough sticks. When she came back, she happened to run into ** and greeted him, "**, good morning."

"We're going out for breakfast."

Yan Sisi nodded, and thinking that she didn't even have a coal stove at home, she asked hurriedly, "Aunt Liu, do you know where to buy a coal stove?"

"You've asked the right person about this." Liu Lan lowered her voice and leaned closer to her and said, "I have a relative who sells it. If you want it, I can ask for it for you."

I have known Comrade Xiao Yan for a month on and off, and I heard that she is a student at the Agricultural University next door. Otherwise, she would not be so enthusiastic to help.

"Okay, thank you Aunt Liu. I want two. Please ask for me." Yan Sisi said with a smile. She didn't expect that she would actually find out the answer just by asking casually. It was okay when her brother was there yesterday because someone helped to light the fire. But when she was alone, it was too troublesome to light the fire and cook.

If she could buy two coal stoves, she could use one to cook rice and the other to stir-fry vegetables, which would be much more convenient.
