Yi Xiaoqiu tied the cotton pad to the back seat of the bicycle and said, "Come and ride!"
She knew that the back seat was uncomfortable, but since she would not sit there herself, she never added a cushion to the back seat. Fortunately, after the housekeeper made her clothes, he used the leftover cloth and cotton to make a few cushions.
Otherwise, she wouldn't sit in the back. It's better to put in some effort than to hurt her butt. Anyway, she has plenty of strength.
Lu Huaian finally moved, and he and Yi Xiaoqiu quickly caught up with Shen Ruofei and the others.
Shen Ruofei, sitting in the back seat, grinned and greeted Yi Xiaoqiu.
"Where have you been? Why are you here now?"
"I went to add cushions to the back seat." Yi Xiaoqiu glanced at Shen Ruofei's butt.
"Ah! Why didn't I think of that!" Shen Ruofei's mouth drooped, and she looked like she had lost all hope in life.
The dirt road was not easy to travel on, and it was bumpy all the way. Shen Ruofei had no preparation and was bound to suffer along the way.
Shen Ruofei had a bitter face all the way, "Xiao Qiu, go and make a mat for me, and I'll tie my hair on too."
"I'll give you one when you get there. I have more in my room." Yi Xiaoqiu agreed without hesitation. The housekeeper still had some anyway.
Finally arriving at the club, Yi Xiaoqiu parted ways with the three of them. In order not to arouse the suspicion of Shen Ruofei and the others, she would not go there in front of Shen Ruofei and the others except to pay the rent.
After sending the package, Yi Xiaoqiu felt a little nervous. She hoped that her parents would respect her idea and not get her engaged.
Yi Xiaoqiu went to the supply and marketing cooperative again based on the life creed of "I'm already here".
There were not many items available this time, so the salesperson recommended malted milk to her, but Yi Xiaoqiu refused.
The farm manager raised two dairy cows and made a lot of dairy products. Yi Xiaoqiu drank milk every day.
There is absolutely no need to buy malted milk.
The produce from her farm was enough to sustain her daily diet, and the variety was no less than that of later generations.
Food, clothing, housing, food is completely free.
The supply and marketing cooperative was not big, and Yi Xiaoqiu didn't see anything he wanted to buy, so he went back to the company.
Before long, it was already noon.
As soon as she sat down in the room, there was a knock on the door.
Yi Xiaoqiu stood up and opened the door, and Su Mianmian, looking shy, was standing outside.
When Yi Xiaoqiu saw her, he thought of his own mission and felt a headache.
Little did she know that even more headaches were yet to come.
"Are you here to place an order today?" Yi Xiaoqiu spoke first.
Su Mianmian made a lot of money some time ago, which was probably enough for her to live on for a long time. Recently, she hasn't sold much goods. She is with Chi Shunian every day, and her mind is full of love.
Su Mianmian was stunned and shook her head: "I came here to ask you for advice."
As she spoke, her face turned even redder.
When Yi Xiaoqiu saw this, her heart skipped a beat. Why did she have a bad feeling?
"What's up?"
"Won't you invite me in to sit down?" Su Mianmian smiled shyly.
She felt that among all the educated youth, she was best friends with Yi Xiaoqiu, and it was Xiaoqiu who spoke up for her when she was being harassed before.
"Oh come in!"
Yi Xiaoqiu poured her a glass of water and sat on the kang.
"Thank you." Su Mianmian picked up the enamel pot and took a sip gracefully before speaking, "What do you think about me marrying Chi Zhiqing?"
"What?" Yi Xiaoqiu was startled and stood up suddenly from the kang.
"What did you just say?" Yi Xiaoqiu looked at Su Mianmian in disbelief.
Aren’t these two people progressing too fast?
This doesn't fit the emotional development of the male and female protagonists!
Isn't this just about giving out sweets, without some abuse?
Su Mianmian's face was full of confusion. Why did Xiaoqiu react so strongly when she heard that she was getting married?
"I plan to marry Chi Zhiqing." Su Mianmian said again in a good-tempered manner.
Don’t panic, don’t panic, Yi Xiaoqiu warned himself a few times in his heart and sat down again.
"Aren't you guys developing too fast? How long has it been?
Do you know his family? Although Chi Zhiqing keeps a low profile, I can tell he's well-off. Do you know why he went to the countryside? What do his parents think of you? Does he have any plans for your future? And what if he has a fiancée or a childhood sweetheart? What would you do?
Yi Xiaoqiu spoke in a burst of rapid-fire words.
Su Mianmian was stunned by the question.
Chi Shunian didn't talk much about these things with her, and only told her about the general situation at home.
His home is in Beijing Province. His parents are still alive. There are two brothers in the family. He is the eldest brother and he is already married. Chi Shunian said that he wanted to marry her so that they can live in their own world together without being disturbed by others.
He said that after they get married, he would take her to his house for Chinese New Year next year...
As for whether or not to inform the family about the marriage, Chi Shunian really didn't mention it...
Su Mianmian was upset.
The two are still in the honeymoon period, they don't care about anything, they only have eyes for each other, so why would they consider these things?
"Well... I'm thinking about it..."
"Marriage is a serious matter, so you must be very careful! Moving to the city will be even more difficult after you get married. I think Chi Zhiqing's family is well-off, so it should be easy for him to move to the city. He's just arrived and hasn't experienced much hardship in the countryside yet. What if, after a long time, he regrets it and leaves you alone to move to the city, what will you do then?"
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't say yes. After getting married and having children, she might not be able to handle the college entrance examination.
But after all, he is the protagonist, so even if he doesn't go to college, he won't do too badly.
Yi Xiaoqiu now only wants to stop Su Mianmian from getting married.
"He's not that kind of person..." Su Mianmian's voice weakened a little.
In her opinion, blind marriage is the most normal thing, but what Yi Xiaoqiu said makes sense. This world is no longer the world she used to live in. She still needs to listen to the advice of local natives.
Yi Xiaoqiu felt quite satisfied when he saw her serious expression.
"Who can say for sure about human nature? You two are still in the honeymoon phase of love, which is great, but what happens after you get married, the honeymoon phase is over, and the feelings fade?"
Su Mianmian looked at Yi Xiaoqiu with a curious baby's face.
"That's definitely the reality! As the saying goes, a poor couple has many worries. As long as you have money, no problem is a problem. This can greatly reduce unnecessary conflicts between the two of you. So, I still suggest you make more money. With money in your hands, you can speak with more confidence!"
Yi Xiaoqiu approached Su Mianmian mysteriously and whispered, "Didn't young ladies in ancient times always bring a large dowry when they got married? Isn't it so that you can have influence in your husband's family? So that they won't look down on you. We are thousands of miles away from home, and we can't rely on our family. We can only rely on ourselves to earn more money."
Su Mianmian's mind suddenly opened up, and everything became clear.
She remembered what her mother said to her when she took her to see Zhuangzi before she came to this world.
"It's not easy for women to survive. They can't go out and work. Although our Su family is not rich, we have prepared a dowry for you long ago. There are nearly a thousand acres of fertile farmland and fruit trees in the village south of the city. This dowry alone will allow my daughter to hold her head high in her husband's family after she gets married. Even if my husband changes his mind, with this dowry, my daughter will have no worries about food and clothing in the future..."
How could she forget her mother's teachings?
It is naturally a good thing for two families to get married and they love each other, but the experience summed up by people for thousands of years is not so easy to overturn.
Otherwise, how could there be so many unfaithful and heartless men from ancient times to the present?
Although the two of them lived thousands of miles away from home, marriage was a big deal. No matter what the reason, Chi Shunian had to inform his parents and ask his family to take care of the wedding and give their blessings. This was how he valued her.
She was really out of her mind for a moment. How could she forget her mother's decades of education and lose her dignity and prestige because of her deep love?
Although Lijia Qianqi doesn't care about these etiquettes, if she listens to Chi Shunian and gets married with him without telling both parents, how will the other party's parents look at her in the future?
