Shen Qinghe had a dream. She knew she was dreaming, but she didn't want to wake up.
She dreamed of the scene when her grandfather took her to set off firecrackers in the yard during the Chinese New Year when she was a child. She was too timid to light them for fear that they would explode and hurt her.
Grandpa asked her to hold the lighter, and he held her little hand and slowly approached the firecrackers placed in the yard.
Her face turned pale with fear and she kept shrinking into her grandfather's arms.
Grandpa said patiently, "Don't be afraid, Qinghe. Grandpa is here. Nothing will happen to you."
Little Shen Qinghe turned her head to look at her grandfather, and saw that she was frightened in his calm eyes.
Grandpa looked at her with a smile, which gave her a lot of courage.
I gradually became braver and had my grandfather hold my hand to bring the flame close to the firecrackers.
A few seconds later, the sound of firecrackers rang out, turning her little face red.
"Grandpa, I want to light some more firecrackers."
After the firecrackers were set off, she looked up at her grandfather and said.
Grandpa smiled at her dotingly, asked the guard to get a string of firecrackers and set them up, and looked at her encouragingly, "Qinghe, you can do it yourself this time."
"Xiao Qinghe, come on, everything will be fine!"
When she grew up, she stood aside and cheered for her younger self.
Little Shen Qinghe tilted her head and looked at her, "Why do you look so much like me?"
"Because I am you when you grow up." Shen Qinghe also imitated her and smiled with her head tilted.
Little Shen Qinghe didn't quite understand what she meant, but that didn't hinder her enthusiasm for the new skill she had just unlocked - lighting firecrackers!
The sound of firecrackers rang out again...
Someone held her in his arms and covered her ears.
Smelling the familiar scent, Shen Qinghe blinked her eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Jiang Chunlin's strong chest.
It turns out that it was just a dream.
Too bad it's a bit short.
She hasn't had time to talk to her grandfather yet.
I want to tell him that everything is fine for her here and he should be fine too.
The sound of firecrackers continued in her ears. Shen Qinghe was a little dazed for a moment, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.
"It's still early, sleep a little longer." Jiang Chunlin felt Shen Qinghe's body in his arms was a little stiff, thinking that he scared her, so he hugged her in his arms.
"Why are there sound of firecrackers?" Shen Qinghe asked softly.
With one ear pressed tightly against Jiang Chunlin's chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, the grief in his heart faded a little.
If it were in real life, I wonder if the grandfather would be satisfied with a grandson-in-law like Jiang Chunlin? !
She probably won't be satisfied, because in grandpa's heart, no one is worthy of his precious granddaughter!
Thinking of this, Shen Qinghe showed a faint smile.
"The village chief's house." Jiang Chunlin said concisely.
Shen Qinghe understood, and she leaned her head into Jiang Chunlin's arms and closed her eyes.
Jiang Chunlin was not in a hurry to get up. It was rare that Shen Qinghe didn't get up early to make clothes today, so it would be nice to lie down with her in his arms.
The two hugged each other, neither of them fell asleep, but neither of them wanted to get up.
Until He Xiuyun came knocking on the door.
He Xiuyun didn't want to knock on the door. It was because the fourth brother and his wife had slept until noon and hadn't gotten up yet. If they didn't get up, they would miss their seat.
Jiang Chunlin gently patted Shen Qinghe's little butt and said in a hoarse voice, "You sleep a little longer, I'll go check on you."
Shen Qinghe closed her eyes and rolled over, burying her head in the thin sheets.
Jiang Chunlin glanced at her and raised the corners of his mouth. She was quite well behaved today.
After opening the door and seeing He Xiuyun, Jiang Chunlin poured himself a glass of water.
"Where's Qinghe? Hurry up and clean up. We're almost ready to sit down. The firecrackers just went off." He Xiuyun said anxiously when she saw Jiang Chunlin's unhurried attitude.
There is a custom in Taoyuan Village that no matter whether it is a funeral or a wedding, as long as firecrackers are set off before the meal, it is a reminder to start the meal.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that they haven't started the banquet yet because Qinghe and I haven't gone?" Jiang Chunlin didn't care.
He Xiuyun thought so too. The village chief had ulterior motives in inviting the fourth brother and his wife to the table.
"I got up too early, so I'll go back to my room and take a nap. Call me before you leave." He Xiuyun yawned and went into the room.
On the other side, Qi Qingmei was standing in the yard in a red dress, looking towards the Jiang family with an anxious look on her face.
Why hasn’t Shen Qinghe come over yet?
She wanted her to see with her own eyes that she was the one who would eventually marry Jiang Xiaohui.
"Qingmei, your father is calling you." Gao Qiufeng saw Qi Qingmei standing at the gate of the yard, leaving the guests aside, and walked over to call her.
Qi Qingmei looked at Gao Qiufeng pleadingly, "Mom, can you go to the Jiang family to take a look?"
Gao Qiufeng knew what Qi Qingmei asked her to see.
She felt that Qi Qingmei was a little too persistent.
Shen Qinghe and Jiang Chunlin lived happily ever after their marriage and no longer thought about Jiang Zhiqing, but Qi Qingmei still treated them as a formidable enemy, as if she wanted to prove something.
"Qingmei, today is your engagement day. Don't worry about others. You are the protagonist today." Gao Qiufeng advised.
Qi Qingmei shook her head, "No, I must let her see, and let the villagers see, that Brother Xiaohui is my fiancé from now on!"
Gao Qiufeng: "..." Shen Qinghe doesn't care about Jiang Zhiqing at all now.
"Here they come!" Qi Qingmei's eyes lit up and then her face changed when she saw Jiang Chunlin and Shen Qinghe approaching.
Gao Qiufeng followed Qi Qingmei's gaze.
Shen Qinghe was seen wearing a white dress with her hair tied up in a bun on top of her head.
Jiang Chunlin was wearing a white shirt and dark blue pants.
Two people walked together, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, and the green corn seedlings in the field next to them made the two of them look like a prince and princess walking out of an oil painting.
"Chun Linwa and his wife are such a perfect match!" Gao Qiufeng was moved as she looked at the two of them.
She knew that both of them were good-looking, but the clothes they usually wore were mostly patched, which covered up some of their brilliance. Now that they were dressed like this, it was simply impossible to take your eyes off them.
"Mom, what do they mean? Brother Xiaohui and I are the protagonists today." Qi Qingmei said with an unhappy face when she heard Gao Qiufeng praising Shen Qinghe and Jiang Chunlin.
Gao Qiufeng came back to her senses and glanced at Qi Qingmei.
To be honest, she usually thought her daughter was pretty, but today she looked much duller when compared with Chunlin's family.
But this cannot be said.
"Of course my daughter is the prettiest!" I hope I won't be struck by lightning if I tell a lie.
Qi Qingmei's expression looked better now. She stared at Shen Qinghe and Jiang Chunlin. These two guys came here deliberately to cause trouble.
He Xiuyun and Jiang Jianguo walked behind Jiang Chunlin and Shen Qinghe. They also wore new clothes today.
Along the way, both of them felt that they were the most beautiful parents in the village today!
My back is straighter than usual.
"Qingmei, congratulations!" He Xiuyun said to Qi Qingmei with a smile, and then took Gao Qiufeng to greet her, "The whole village knows about your precious daughter. Now that she has found a good home, you and the village chief can rest assured."
"That's right." Gao Qiufeng said with a smile.
Jiang Xiaohui, who was seizing the opportunity to expand his network, was stunned when he saw Shen Qinghe.
