"You two have been very honest, and I have also told you my plan honestly. It is up to you whether you want to do this or not."

Su Qianqian made her attitude clear.

"By the way, are you two interested in each other? If not, you'd better not force yourself to be together." She was just impulsive at the time and thought about being a matchmaker.

Sun Ailian blushed and rubbed her clothes nervously with her hands. "It doesn't matter who I marry. My parents just want me to get married."

Su Jianshe was as straightforward as ever, "When I saw her, I liked her very much. She is pretty."

Now Sun Ailian's face turned even redder.

It is indeed beautiful, otherwise Su Youdi would not have been thinking about it all the time.

"Since you two are interested, you can get in touch after the New Year and talk about marriage. I will pay the betrothal gift as agreed."

"Sister Qian, the money for the betrothal gift is a loan from me. I will definitely pay you back when I make money in the future. I definitely can't take your money for nothing, otherwise I'd still be considered a man!"

"Okay, just consider it as me lending it to you."

Su Qianqian knew that Su Jianshe was such a person, so she chose him. Otherwise, she would not be able to guarantee Sun Ailian's happy life. Su Jianshe is a down-to-earth and hardworking person, and he is also a caring person. The two of them will surely live a better and better life together in the future.

Of course, the prerequisite is to get rid of Su Youdi.

"Here is fifty, take it first. You can give me the IOU or something next time." She took out five big unity notes and handed them to Su Jianshe.

Su Jianshe's hands trembled slightly. His family was quite poor, and fifty dollars at a time like this was simply too much for him.

"Thank you! If you need anything in the future, just let me know and I promise to help."

"Brother Jianshe, I know what kind of person you are, and I trust you."

After all, they had known each other since childhood, and she knew Su Jianshe's character.

The matter was half resolved, and Su Qianqian felt a little relieved. Cheng Yue went to inquire about Su Yinhua's matter, wanting to know how Su Yinhua's matter would be resolved.

Cheng Yue was gone for quite a long time.

"Why hasn't he come back yet?" Zhu Tianfang was a little worried.

"He should be okay as he's this grown up, right?" Su Qianqian was a little worried.

There have been a lot of things going on recently. What if someone is plotting against me again?

Fortunately, Cheng Yue came back shortly after he finished speaking.

"Why did you take so long? Is everything alright?"

"It's nothing. I found out that Su Yinhua will be locked up this time. She won't be able to come out for a while." After all, Su Yinhua has a criminal record. This time she has committed a crime again. She must receive a good education in prison.

"That'll do!"

After hearing this news, Su Qianqian felt relieved.

It's time for Su Yinhua to reform herself and stop causing harm to others.

In this way, Cheng Maocai can live his life well.

When going to bed at night, Su Qianqian snuggles comfortably in the quilt. She likes the quilt the most in winter. The warm quilt is simply heaven.

"Cheng Yue, come and sleep." Why don't humans need to hibernate? In winter, we should eat and sleep, and not work.

Cheng Yue walked over with his hands behind his back, then lifted the quilt and got into bed.

Su Qianqian was about to sleep when she found her hand was grabbed. When she was wondering, she found something was worn on her finger.

She immediately took her hand out from under the quilt and was stunned when she saw the ring on her ring finger.

"You, when did you buy it?" She never expected that he would buy a ring.

In this era, rings are not very popular because they have no practical use, but some people still wear rings.

"I made the reservation a few days ago, and I was almost done with the finishing work today, so I was delayed a little. Do you like it?" He asked nervously, afraid that Su Qianqian would not like it.

"I like it, it looks great! How did you get the size so right?"

She found that the size was just right, not loose nor tight. It was a plain silver ring, a very ordinary style, but it looked inexplicably beautiful on her finger.

"I measured it secretly when you were sleeping, and it fits perfectly." He was worried that his measurement was inaccurate. It was naturally hoped that this was a perfect gift from Su Qianqian since it was the first time.

"Just one? What's yours?"

Cheng Yue took out another ring.

Su Qianqian immediately took it and put it on his ring finger.

His fingers are very long and they look good in rings.

The two hands put together are particularly pleasing to the eye.

If you ask Su Qianqian what she wants to do most at this moment, it is to take a photo and post it on WeChat Moments, but she can't do it!

"I won't be able to wear it when I return to the army, so I'll just hang it around my neck," said Cheng Yue.

"Okay." It's good that he has this intention.

She had never thought about the ring before, but now that she was wearing it, the feeling of being a couple was more substantial.

This night was particularly affectionate.

He kissed her finger with the ring, and then placed her ring finger on his heart, feeling the vibration of his heartbeat.

If the previous communication was just a physical one, then tonight it was a communication between two hearts.

Before she fell asleep, she realized that she seemed to have really fallen in love with this rough yet delicate man.

…

On the seventh and eighth days of the first lunar month, relatives still visit each other, probably until the Lantern Festival. After all, everyone has nothing to do so they just visit relatives. They only see each other a few times throughout the year, so everyone is very polite.

Su Qianqian is not going to visit relatives anymore. She plans to start making pickled duck.

I plan to start the sauced duck business after the new year. I can take it slow in the early stages and then expand it when things are more relaxed.

Now that we have more staff, it doesn't matter much even if she is not here.

Every time she made salted duck, she would ask Zhu Tianfang and Wu Yuexiang to watch by her side, because she wanted to pass on the skill to them as they were the main force in the salted duck business.

"Mom, sister-in-law, we have relatives coming today, we can let them try it, outsiders' evaluation will be more objective." Now the whole family supports her cooking skills without a second thought and cannot offer any opinions at all. She needs to know the public's taste.

There was something wrong with the expression on Zhu Tianfang's face.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Well... can I say that I'm a little reluctant? I don't like this relative today very much."

puff!

She didn't expect that her elderly mother-in-law still had such a childish side.

"Then give them less so they can't get enough."

"Even if you give them two, they still won't be satisfied." Zhu Tianfang sighed helplessly, "Just give them half. You don't have to worry about me being stingy."

Cheng Song went to the kitchen and heard these words. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mom, let them say I'm stingy. I'll serve it out."

He brought out the duck with sauce, "Everyone, don't be polite, eat it, this is the duck with sauce, everyone try it."

"Sauce-fried duck? Is that duck meat?"

"Yes, try it."

As soon as everyone saw the color, they became eager to grab some. However, there were only a few pieces left and those who were slow were already gone.

"Why are there only a few pieces?" Someone complained after not getting any.

Cheng Song smiled and said, "That's all. This marinated duck is not easy to make. We tried several pieces to taste it. The remaining ones are good, so we left them for you. Don't be angry if you don't get to eat them. Come back next year to eat them."
