Qin Huai, who only realized Qiao Qiqi had bought these items when he saw her take out a hat and gloves, was speechless.
Lin Chunying naturally couldn't blame Qin Huai, so she could only glare at Qiao Qiqi reproachfully.
Qiao Qiqi smiled slyly, completely unconcerned, "Mother, Qin Huai and I will go back first. You and Father can go over for dinner early tonight."
"Wait a minute." Lin Chunying suddenly called out to the two who were about to leave, and quickly ran to the kitchen to take out the meat that Qiao Qiqi had brought earlier.
"Take this meat home and add it to your dinner tonight."
"Mother, this is for you and Father. Qin Huai and I still have some at home, but I kept some for myself."
"Then take it to your in-laws to eat. Your father and I have already had enough for lunch..."
Just as the mother and daughter were fighting, Lu Xiufen, who was hiding in the east room, heard the noise and suddenly poked her head out. "Qiqi brought it to us, just keep it. Why be polite with your own daughter?"
Qiao Qiqi frowned.
Seeing the greed in Lu Xiufen's eyes, he realized that the old man wanted to take the money away while his parents were not home that night, or send it to his uncle's house.
She had initially refused to accept the meat, but immediately changed her mind and took it from Lin Chunying's hands.
"Okay, Mother, then I'll take the meat back with me."
Meeting Lu Xiufen's reddened eyes, Qiao Qiqi slowly curled her lips, "I'll cook something for my parents tonight and wait for them to eat. It's better than leaving it here and having it snatched away by a wicked rat."
Lu Xiufen's eyes widened, "You brat..."
Qiao Qiqi suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Oh, Grandma, you came out because you've thought it through and want to go to the brigade with me to talk about the things that went missing from your house?"
One sentence immediately silenced Lu Xiufen, who was so frightened that she immediately shrank back into her room.
Lin Chunying looked helpless, but didn't stop her: "You silly girl, go back and rest with Qin Huai."
"Mother, you've been busy all morning, you and Father should rest well. Qin Huai and I will go back first."
After saying goodbye to Qiao Weiguo and Lin Chunying, Qiao Qiqi and Qin Huai walked home side by side.
On the way, Qin Huai suddenly said, "There's not much time now, you go home and rest first. I'll just go and tell my parents, and you can go tonight."
Qiao Qiqi thought about it and realized that if she went, her in-laws would definitely be busy for a while, so it would be better to let them rest.
After thinking about it, she nodded, "Okay, then go and come back quickly."
The two parted ways at the intersection.
When Qiao Qiqi returned to her home with Qin Huai, she was so exhausted that she collapsed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), not wanting to move at all.
She ran around town several times this morning, and now both her legs are sore.
When Qin Huai returned, Qiao Qiqi was still lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), not moving.
He glanced at it once, then bent down to start packing up the things Qiao Qiqi had bought that morning.
The rustling sound caught Qiao Qiqi's attention. She looked up and propped her head up with one arm.
Qiao Qiqi narrowed her eyes as she watched Qin Huai tidy up all the mess she had made.
Looking at the man's broad shoulders, narrow hips, and resolute profile.
I sighed inwardly—
Her husband is so handsome!
However, looking at the things scattered all over the floor, Qiao Qiqi suddenly said, "Qin Huai, shall we build a cabinet in the basement to store our things?"
She had this idea yesterday, but she didn't have any money on hand at the time.
Now that Qiao Qiqi has a space, she naturally has to start taking action.
Qin Huai looked up and said, "I'll go to Wang the carpenter's house when I go to work later and ask him to come over tonight so you can tell him the style you want in person."
Qiao Qiqi immediately perked up, sat up, and pointed to the wooden board at the end of the kang (a heated brick bed) and said, "I also want a kang cabinet, and the kitchen doesn't have any cabinets either, I want to make one for that too."
Qin Huai finished packing and stood up: "Okay, you can talk to Carpenter Wang about it later."
Qiao Qiqi stared at him: "Qin Huai, I spent a lot of money in town this morning, and now I need to have a cabinet made. Aren't you afraid I'll spend all my money?"
Although she knew she could never spend all the money, Qiao Qiqi wanted to hear what Qin Huai thought.
Meeting her probing gaze, Qin Huai remained aloof, but his words warmed Qiao Qiqi's heart.
"I gave you the money so you could spend it. I told you I would make sure you live a good life with me."
As he spoke, he recalled the conversation between Qiao Qiqi and Lin Chunying that he had overheard outside the kitchen, and couldn't help but add, "I will try my best to make sure you can eat meat every day."
Qiao Qiqi was overjoyed to see that this man still remembered this.
Looking at Qin Huai's handsome, masculine face, she couldn't help but jump off the kang (a heated brick bed) and give her husband a big hug. "Qin Huai, it's so good to have you!"
"..."
The man's face instantly turned bright red.
But I feel that I am not good enough.
Actually, Lu Xiufen wasn't the first person to say that his family was poor and that Qiao Qiqi would definitely suffer after marrying into the family.
Some villagers said this when I was in the fields this morning.
Qin Huai did not explain at the time.
But in his heart, he vowed that he would never let Qiao Qiqi suffer with him.
After Qiao Qiqi finished her sweet talk and waited for a long time without a reply, she finally let go of his hand and looked at her man's face, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Qin Huai looked into her big, watery eyes and his lips moved slightly.
After a long pause, he finally asked, "Do you really think I'm good enough?"
"Of course!" At least so far, Qin Huai has passed all of my tests with flying colors.
Hearing Qin Huai ask this question so suddenly, Qiao Qiqi instantly understood and retorted, "What? Do you think you're not good enough?"
"Mm." Qin Huai nodded.
He thought to himself, "This woman is so stupid. She believed me just because I said I was nice to her. What if she had met a smooth-talking liar?"
Then I started to feel relieved.
Fortunately, Qiao Qiqi met him, not a liar.
"I won't allow you to talk about yourself like that!"
When Qiao Qiqi heard that her man actually said she wasn't good enough, she immediately became unhappy. She cupped his face in her hands, looked into his dark eyes, and smiled, "You don't need to be perfect, I just like you!"
With a loud bang.
Qin Huai's face immediately started burning hot again.
He quickly pulled Qiao Qiqi's hand down and stammered, "I...I'm going out to take a shower."
Qiao Qiqi raised an eyebrow.
Seeing that her husband was clearly shy again, a sly glint flashed in her eyes. "Then come back quickly and get some sleep before you go back to work."
Not hearing a response, Qiao Qiqi didn't mind. She turned around, went to the kang (heated brick bed), and spread out the bedding so that Qin Huai could lie down and sleep as soon as he returned.
It's the hottest time of the year now, and the commune provides a relatively long lunch break, enough time for everyone to take a nap.
However, they were delayed a bit by going to Qiao Weiguo's place at noon, so Qin Huai probably won't be able to sleep for long.
But sleeping is always better than not sleeping.
Every man deserves his love and care; Qiao Qiqi couldn't bear to see him so tired.
