The Su sisters and Liu Meijuan were shocked after hearing Qin Xiaoxiao's words.
Su Lu actually agreed to marry into the Qin family?
It's not "marrying," it's "being married off"?
Good heavens! Are they hallucinating?
Qin Xiaoxiao went to pour them water, giving them time to process what she had said.
Qin Xiaoxiao handed the three cups to the three people and said with a smile, "Su Lu and I agreed that after we get married, we will move out and not live with their family."
I've met his mother; she's a reasonable person and treats me well.
In my opinion, it's better to have a good mother-in-law than a good husband. A mother-in-law who is sensible, knows her place, and doesn't interfere much in the affairs between her son and daughter-in-law can make the family harmonious.
Fortunately, Su Lu's mother was that kind of person.
She's not entirely sure yet, but as it stands, Wan Guihua isn't the kind of person who's unreasonable. As long as you know your limits, it won't be difficult to get along with her.
The Su sisters and Liu Meijuan exchanged a glance and sighed in unison.
Liu Meijuan: "Have you made up your mind?"
Qin Xiaoxiao: "Yes, I've decided."
Su Yun: "No regrets?"
Qin Xiaoxiao: "No regrets."
Su Yu: "Can't I take it back?"
Qin Xiaoxiao: "No."
The three of them exchanged another glance and then fell silent.
After the three left, Qin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and took out her yarn to start knitting again.
This time she knitted a black one, intending to give it to Su Lu as an engagement gift.
For three days in a row, Qin Xiaoxiao did not leave the gate of the educated youth compound. Qin Ye and the others did not come to bother her. Or rather, they did not want to see Qin Xiaoxiao for the time being. Seeing her would remind them of her marriage with Su Lu, which would upset them greatly.
For the past three days, Qin Xiaoxiao has hardly left the house. She eats and drinks everything provided by her space and spends her days boiling water on the stove and storing it in the wooden bucket in her space.
On the fourth day, which was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Qin Xiaoxiao packed up the glutinous rice balls early in the morning and took them to the Qin family.
"Grandma, try the glutinous rice balls I made today. They're filled with black sesame and I put in lots of sugar. See if they're delicious."
There were ready-made bags of glutinous rice balls in the room, all machine-made, but she didn't dare take them out and could only wrap them herself.
Grandma Qin glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao with a stern face, "I won't eat."
After saying that, Old Mrs. Qin turned her head and lay down on her side on the kang (a heated brick bed), clearly still angry.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head with amusement, took off her shoes, lifted the quilt, and crawled into Qin's old lady's bed, hugging Qin's old lady's waist tightly.
Qin Xiaoxiao pressed her little face against Qin's grandmother's back and whispered, "Grandma, I know you're still angry, and I don't want to leave you. It's precisely because I don't want to leave you that I'm considering marrying Su Lu!"
Grandma Qin was already soft-hearted because her eldest granddaughter had snuggled into her bed without a care in the world, and now, after hearing Qin Xiaoxiao's words, she couldn't help but shed tears.
Why?
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled.
As long as she talks to me, that's fine; I'm just afraid she'll completely ignore me.
"Because Su Lu is from Qinjiagou, if I marry him, I can be closer to you."
The Qin and Su families are old friends and have been on good terms for many years. If he wrongs me, Uncle Su will not let him off the hook.
With the Su family suppressing him and the Qin family backing him up, Su Lu wouldn't dare do anything to betray me.
Besides, Su Lu isn't as incompetent as you think. Just wait and see, in a few years, he'll give you a big surprise.
Grandma Qin sat up angrily, wiping away her tears. "I don't want any surprises from him, I just want my granddaughter."
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shed tears as well. "Grandma, I'll always be here. I won't go anywhere. Even if I get married, I'll still come home every day."
Grandma Qin couldn't hold back anymore and hugged Qin Xiaoxiao, crying bitterly.
"Little one, my darling, how could you fall for him? Which young man isn't better than him!"
Qin Xiaoxiao knew that no matter how much she pleaded with Su Lu, it would be useless. Old Madam Qin would never approve of him. Besides, she had explained it so many times, but he was still the same. She had no other choice but to accept it.
Qin Xiaoxiao stopped explaining and simply patted the old lady's back comfortingly to prevent her from being too upset.
After crying for a while, Grandma Qin finally felt a little better. When she sat down at the table to eat, she was the first to pick up the glutinous rice balls that Qin Xiaoxiao had made.
When you bite into a black sesame glutinous rice ball, thick, smooth black sesame seeds burst out, releasing a fragrant aroma that warms your heart with every bite.
Grandma Qin's eyes lit up. "This filling is so delicious! No wonder she's my eldest granddaughter; she's so capable."
Ma Dahua also took a bite, her eyes sparkling. "Yes, it's so delicious! This is the first time I've ever had filling like this. Xiaoxiao, how is this glutinous rice ball filling made? Do you grind the sesame seeds so finely?"
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile, "Yes, you need to grind it several times to make the black sesame seeds very fine. If it's ground too coarsely, it will affect the taste."
The grinder in her space was practically sparking from grinding so much filling. After finally getting it ready, she got up early this morning to wrap it, then put it outside to freeze. Now she's a little sleepy and wants to go back to sleep.
Qin Aiguo ate two glutinous rice balls, then looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with satisfaction. "Don't go back home today. Someone is coming over this afternoon, so you can meet them then."
Qin Xiaoxiao was taken aback. "Who's coming?"
Speaking of this, Qin Feng laughed and replied first: "They are your grandfather's old comrades-in-arms and subordinates. Some of them are working in the province, some in the city, and it seems that the least successful one is Brother Wu, who is now the county magistrate of our county."
Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned after hearing this. "Who? The county magistrate?"
Qin Feng nodded with a smile, "That's right, even our county magistrate is the worst off. One of your grandfather's old comrades-in-arms is now in that position."
Qin Feng pointed to the sky, his face filled with mystery and longing.
Qin Xiaoxiao swallowed hard.
Holy crap! I never would have guessed, her grandfather had such an awesome comrade-in-arms?!
I wonder how close her grandfather and that person are?
Haha, whether the relationship is close or not is of no use to her. She doesn't go into politics or the military; she just wants to be a couch potato.
Qin Xiaoxiao was only surprised for a moment before she stopped caring, but she listened to Qin Aiguo's words and stayed with the Qin family.
At 2 p.m., the Qin family welcomed a group of distinguished guests.
The man at the front, with gray hair and a height of over 1.8 meters, exuded an imposing aura. As soon as he entered, he went straight to Qin Aiguo and gave him a bear hug.
"Brother Qin, it's great to see you again."
Qin Aiguo pushed the person away with a look of disgust, and sternly looked them up and down a few times. "What brings you here? Aren't you busy with work?"
"No rush. Even if Brother Qin is busy, he should make time for me."
Qin Aiguo frowned slightly. "Just focus on your work and stop worrying about me. I'm fine."
"We haven't seen each other for years. We finally get to see each other, can't I even feel a little excited?"
After saying this helplessly, the person looked at the Qin family members and finally focused his gaze on Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Is this my eldest granddaughter? She's quite beautiful!"
Qin Aiguo glared at the newcomer and said, "Get out! This is my granddaughter. What does it have to do with you? If you want a granddaughter, let your son have one himself."
The person who came wasn't angry even after being scolded. He walked past Qin Aiguo to Qin Xiaoxiao's side and looked at her with a smile.
