"You've had your fill of wine, so just tell me whether you're willing to help or not?"

"I was saying, you are so kind today and gave me such good wine, but you are waiting to set a trap for me!"

Uncle Tie drank the rest of the wine in one gulp: "It's settled, it's done, and I'm the matchmaker."

"That's for sure."

Uncle Tie agreed happily.

He saw that these two children had already shown signs of success.

…

Shen Mo carried Lu Qingyang on her back and took a detour along the path, which was farther but safer.

Before I had walked for a while, I found that Lu Qingyang had already struggled down.

"Lu Qingyang, you sobered up so quickly?"

He wasn't drunk at all, but it was obvious that Uncle Tie really wanted to get him drunk.

So he cleverly pretended to be drunk, but the alcohol was really too much for him and now he was walking unsteadily.

It was Shen Mo who helped him.

He put the gloves on Shen Mo's shoulders, really afraid that her frail body would be broken at once.

Even with so many layers of thick cotton jackets on, you can still see her thin figure.

I remembered the day I saw her holding my hand...

Lu Qingyang couldn't help but swallow.

"I know what you are thinking." Shen Mo said suddenly.

Lu Qingyang was shocked: "I didn't think about anything, my tongue is almost tied."

Shen Mo puffed her cheeks: "I heard from them that you like Gu Ni and were sad for a long time because of her leaving. Is this true?"

Although she is slow, she is not stupid.

Besides, she learned a lot of "useful" knowledge from the fat girl.

Lu Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief: "What does this have to do with anything? Gu Ni is just a friend, I don't have that kind of thought towards her."

"You put so much effort into helping her."

"It didn't take much effort on my part."

And he helped Gu Ni in this way because, firstly, Gu Ni herself had a talent for singing, and it was good for her to have a good platform to display her ambitions.

The second was to piss off Jiang Wanwan, who was a petty person to begin with, and must be extremely angry now.

She lowered her head, and Lu Qingyang couldn't see her expression.

"What a beautiful jasmine flower..."

Shen Mo hummed the lyrics out of tune.

"Why, do you like this song?"

"I'm Shen Mo, and this song is Jasmine Flower, which is also a song my mother often sang to me."

Lu Qingyang understood what she meant: "You mean..."

"My mother was born and raised there. I heard that this is the tune of Jiangnan. My father should be from Jiangnan as well." She muttered softly.

"Do you miss your dad?"

Shen Mo shook her head vigorously: "No, I don't miss her. He abandoned me and my mother. I hate him. I just want to ask him face to face why he abandoned us!"

Lu Qingyang unconsciously held her in his arms.

"Don't worry, I will help you find him and punish this ungrateful person later."

Shen Mo buried herself in his drunken arms and asked in a low voice: "Lu Qingyang, you are not that kind of person, right?"

"Of course I'm not."

He touched her head gently.

After walking along the path, the two arrived at Lu Qingyang's home.

When did this road become so short? Lu Qingyang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"The days of the past have become slower, cars, horses, and mail have all been slower, and loving one person for a lifetime is enough."

Lu Qingyang was humming "Life Was Slow In The Past".

This is a song he has always liked.

“You sing really well.”

"From now on, I will sing to you often."

Shen Mo's heart beat fast because of these words, and she didn't dare to look directly into Lu Qingyang's eyes.

"You're here, come in!"

Although she was reluctant, Shen Mo still pushed him in.

"I'll have a surprise for you in a few days."

"Well, I have a surprise for you too. By the way, your birthday is coming up in a few days, so I'll give you the shoes I bought for you a while ago in advance."

Lu Qingyang opened the cabinet and took out the pair of beautiful little red shoes.

When Shen Mo saw it, her eyes immediately lit up.

"It's really beautiful. Fatty told me about it, but... I don't like it."

Shen Mo turned her face away, "It's inconvenient for me to wear it, and I still have to work and go home!"

“You can wear it when you have free time. You can wear it whenever you want!”

"They would also be accused of being indecent. If the female educated youth dressed up a little, people would say they were coquettish and weird."

"Why care about what others do? Just make yourself comfortable. I just like you to dress nicely!"

"You're lying. You once told me that if I didn't dress up, I would be... targeted by bad people." Shen Mo felt her cheeks getting hot.

In fact, Shen Mo didn't know that she had already been targeted.

"I won't miss you anymore after you get married. You can wear it then. I'll like it very much."

After hearing Lu Qingyang say that he liked the shoes, Shen Mo still accepted the pair of red shoes.

Then he ran away in a flash.

Lu Qingyang returned to the house feeling disappointed. The cold wind had already sobered him up a lot.

After drinking a few more sips of the spiritual spring water, he was completely awake.

Although he was a little drunk today, it was obvious that Master Shen didn't mind him and Shen Mo dating, and he even wanted to bring them together.

This made him feel very excited and he couldn't sleep at night, tossing and turning.

Thinking of Shen Mo's soft and tender lips, I really want to give her a kiss to see how they taste.

However, it won’t take long… He can bear it.

After Shen Mo returned, Master Shen began to order her to dig the cellar until they dug out an old box.

"Grandma, what is this? What's the point of digging it out?"

"This is the dowry your grandmother gave you. You won't be left with nothing when you get married, right?"

When Shen Mo opened it, she found that it was actually some coins from previous eras. There were many types, but none of them were used today.

"These are useless."

“Maybe it will be worth money in the future.”

It contains all kinds of currencies from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China period.

Grandpa Shen took out a Yuan Datou coin and said, "This is what your great-grandmother passed down to me. It will be yours from now on."

"Oh." Shen Mo didn't care about these.

Compared to these coins, her eyes shifted to something else.

There was also a well-preserved piece of clothing at the bottom of the box.

"This is the dress your great-grandmother wore when she married your great-grandmother. It's old now, so you need to keep it for the future."

"I'll keep it for later."

"I've asked your uncle Tie to take care of your matter. I'm sure there will be an answer in a few days. Don't be impatient. Wait until the matter is settled."

"I'm not in a hurry."

Shen Mo said this while already becoming extremely anxious.

She had never felt this way before.

Previously, when her grandmother said that she and Liu Fang were engaged, she was disgusted and wanted to resist.

But when it came to Lu Qingyang, she actually felt impatient.

Meanwhile, Hu Shengli was living a life worse than death.

There are four non-biological children in the family, and they are making noises all day long.

The remaining food was not much to begin with, and it was soon eaten up by the whole family.

Even so, Liu Mei was still complaining: "You have to think of a solution. We have so many mouths to feed at home. You can't let us go hungry during the New Year!"
