Tong Hao has complicated feelings towards Cao Liu.
Back then, my father was maliciously targeted.
My sister didn't want to become a target for harming her family, so she secretly signed up to go to the countryside.
After she arrived in Shanshun Village, her parents were worried and went to see her twice.
Later, I was relieved after I confirmed that the villagers of Shanshun Village were all very simple and honest people.
Later, after the problem that troubled my father was resolved, my family immediately found a job for my sister and took her back home.
It was also at that time that the Tong family found out that the simple girl who used to have no worries actually had someone she liked.
I also learned that the young man my sister liked didn't want to hold her back, so he went to join the army and fight.
Whether it was because of the unknown young man's rationality or because of his help in the past, the Tong family was grateful to the young man that Tong Xiuxiu first fell in love with.
Tong Hao has had a good relationship with his sister since childhood, so naturally he is very grateful.
But he never expected that after so many years, his sister was still thinking about him.
What’s even more coincidental is that when they met again many years later, that person was not married yet.
An hour ago, when his sister told him the news with great joy, Tong Hao couldn't tell how he felt.
I feel reluctant to let her go, but I am also happy for my sister.
But he never expected that the man his sister liked would be this type.
His face is quite handsome, but his body is too big. Standing next to his sister who is 1.72 meters tall, he looks like a small mountain.
Fortunately, he looks like a cheerful person. If he had a sullen face all day, wouldn't it be scary?
However, what shocked Tong Hao the most was that his sister, who had never responded to the pursuit of the opposite sex, now had the word "happy" welded on her face.
Such an obvious emotion, let alone others, even an 18-year-old boy who didn't know what love was could see it clearly, let alone the person involved? Wouldn't he be eaten alive in the future?
Thinking of this, Tong Hao's expression became even uglier.
Cao Liu didn't take his future brother-in-law's sullen face seriously, and took the initiative to greet him with a gentle attitude: "Hello."
Tong Hao's mouth was straight and he didn't want to reply.
But his good upbringing prevented him from doing anything rude, and he finally replied, "Hello."
Cao Liu nodded at the man, then turned his gaze to the girl, turned back to the kitchen and brought out a plate of snacks: "Go to the house with Yu Yu and eat something first. Dinner will take another 20 minutes."
Tong Xiuxiu subconsciously reached out and took it: "Okay"
As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to bite off her tongue in frustration.
She should have said she was here to help. Even though she wasn't good at it, she could give a hand or something.
At least it makes her look more diligent, right?
Thinking of this, Tong Xiuxiu became even more depressed.
She was usually very normal, why did her brain lose focus when she was around this man? In Cao Liu's eyes, Tong Xiuxiu was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and he could see through her at a glance.
Seeing her annoyance, he urged her with a smile: "Go ahead, help me next time."
Hearing this, Tong Xiuxiu's eyes immediately brightened up again, and she happily replied, "Okay."
Girls who are brought up in wealth are different. They are confident and bright, relaxed and happy.
The little bit of negative emotion just now was immediately squeezed out by just one sentence.
= The dinner that day was sumptuous and joyful.
At the dinner table was the extroverted Chen Jun.
Although he had a lot of bad intentions, he looked warm and gentle like Chen Yi.
As the main force to liven up the atmosphere, the two spent most of their energy on Tong Hao.
Soon the young man's brows were relaxed.
Especially after hearing what Chen Yi had subtly revealed about the Chen family's financial situation and family traditions, the rejection on Tong Hao's face was even less.
He didn't care about being well-matched, but he couldn't bear to see his sister marry down and suffer.
As a child who is given special attention at home, Tong Hao has his own standards in mind.
Naturally, the Chen family's wealth is still not as good as the Tong family's wealth accumulated over several generations.
But it is only a matter of time before the Chen family's family tradition and their promising children get better.
Of course, the most important thing is that my sister is happy.
Thinking of this, Tong Hao looked at his sister beside him again.
She saw the burly man sitting on her right, who might very well become her brother-in-law, putting the fish meat, from which the bones had been carefully picked, into her sister's bowl.
Although my sister’s face was red, her whole body seemed to be glowing.
She is very happy.
The young man who thought he had adjusted his mentality couldn't hold it in anymore, and the corners of his mouth drooped again, "Hurry up and eat, why are you in a daze? Do you want me to pick some food for you?" Just when Tong Hao said sourly that his sister didn't even look at him the whole night and his mind was completely attracted by the annoying guy, a hearty voice rang in his ears.
He turned around, met Chen Jun's smiling face, and said silently: "Thank you, I can do it myself."
Chen Jun chuckled: "That's right, don't be polite, we are all family."
Who is your family?
You better shut up! = The two houses are very close.
So after dinner, the Tong siblings were not in a hurry to leave.
Several people moved to the living room and sat on the sofa chatting and watching TV.
The sofa in the house is made of old mahogany, which fits in well with the antique style of the courtyard house.
The two girls huddled together, with a thin blanket covering their legs, eating walnut kernels peeled by their brothers, and laughing out loud from time to time because of funny topics. The atmosphere was very comfortable and harmonious.
It was not until after eight o'clock in the evening that Tong Xiuxiu reluctantly said goodbye after being urged by her younger brother.
Cao Liu stood up, put half of the walnut kernels that the brothers had peeled tonight into a glass bottle, and left the other half to his sister: "I'll take you back."
Tong Xiuxiu was somewhat happy, but she didn't want to ask him to go back and forth: "No need, Xiaohao and I are alone."
Cao Liu glanced at the siblings and repeated in a gentle voice, "I'll take you there."
Okay, Tong Xiuxiu raised the corner of her mouth, said goodbye to Yu Yu and the others, and followed the tall man closely.
Chen Nongmo was so surprised that he couldn't help but complain to the twins: "I used to be curious. My second brother looks gentle, but he is actually very overbearing. What kind of girl can handle him? Now I understand. A simple girl like Xiuxiu is suitable for him."
At this point, she sighed again: "These two are also a perfect match."
Chen Jun laughed proudly: "I told you many years ago that my second brother liked Tong Xiuxiu, but you didn't believe me at that time. What do you think? I am still far-sighted, right?"
Chen Nongmo picked up her share of walnuts and went back to the house. Before leaving, she said, "Yes, you are a fool but you have good fortune."
Hearing this, Chen Jun rolled up his sleeves and pretended to be fierce: "You stinky girl is slandering me again!"
Chen Yi reached out and grabbed the fourth brother by the collar, grinning at him: "Why are you running? Do you think you can get away with the walnut shells if you run away?"
Chen Jun laughed and rubbed his hands: "As expected of you, you are the fifth brother. I can't hide anything from you."
= On the other side, Cao Liu accompanied the brother and sister all the way to their doorstep.
Tong Xiuxiu looked up and asked, "Do you want to come in and sit down?"
Cao Liu shook his head and handed over the glass bottle he had been holding: "No, it's late, let's do it another day."
Even though she guessed that the walnut kernels were for her, Tong Xiuxiu was still very happy to take it and hold it in her arms, and she couldn't help but smile brightly on her face.
She felt like she had been laughing the whole day and couldn't stop.
Cao Liu curled his lips, thinking that this girl was a little too easy to please, but she was just a small jar of walnut kernels: "Go in, come to my house for breakfast tomorrow morning."
As he spoke, he looked at the boy standing quietly at the side and invited him with a smile: "Xiao Hao, come along too."
Tong Hao, it’s amazing that you two can still see me.
The next morning.
Worried about oversleeping, Tong Xiuxiu not only set the alarm clock in her room to wake up an hour earlier than usual, but also set her brother's alarm clock as well.
After all, Cao Liu will be returning to the army in the afternoon, and it is not known when they will meet next time.
She wanted to see more of him, and she was serious about pursuing him.
I get up early so that I can prepare more food for my beloved who is about to return to the army.
So, Tong Hao got up dazed and slumped on the sofa, and saw his sister rummaging around like a little hamster.
I have food to eat, things to use and drinks to drink, but I only regret that I have nothing to wear.
Of course, even if there was nothing to wear, a sizeable bag could be packed quickly.
Tong Hao = Yesterday Cao Liuyou asked the Tong siblings about their preferences.
So the breakfast includes not only what my sister likes, but also Tong Xiuxiu’s.
As for the boy, Cao Liu said that as long as he can fill his stomach, there is no need to be so pampered.
When he prepared the sumptuous breakfast, the Tong siblings also arrived.
Then, looking at the big bag handed over by the young man Tong Hao, even Cao Liu couldn't help but remain silent for a few seconds.
Actually, he doesn't like snacks very much.
But when the girl looked at him expectantly, he couldn't say anything to spoil the mood: "Thank you."
Tong Xiuxiu was just raised a little naively by her family, she is not stupid.
Especially for someone you like, it is inevitable to pay more attention to them.
Therefore, Cao Liu's pause was only about two seconds, but she still noticed it.
Tong Xiuxiu didn't like any misunderstandings, so she asked directly: "Don't you like snacks?"
Hearing this, Cao Liu raised his eyebrows, but did not avoid the question. Instead, he said, "It's okay, I just don't like sweets very much."
Tong Xiuxiu suddenly realized and immediately said, "Then I'll take out the desserts in the bag and prepare something salty for you next time."
As she said this, she reached out to take the bag from the man's hand, but was avoided by him.
She looked up, somewhat puzzled.
Cao Liu laughed out loud: "It's okay, the sweets can be given to my brother-in-law and my comrades."
Hmm. I guess my brother-in-law will be jealous for a few days.
Completely unaware of the man's "sinister intentions", Tong Xiuxiu simply felt that Cao Liu's sharing of the snacks he had prepared with his comrades was another form of affirmation.
Then, the whole person felt light and airy.
Is she one step closer to catching the guy?
How come everything is so beautiful?
“By the way, if I share some of these things with my comrades, they might be finished in a few days.” After breakfast was served, when the family sat down neatly to eat, Cao Liu said casually while peeling an egg.
Then when the girl next to him looked over, he smiled very kindly: "Do you want to go to the army with Yu Yu this Sunday and bring me some food?"
Hearing this, Tong Xiuxiu's cheeks flushed, but she still agreed: "Okay."
