Everyone couldn't help but laugh at the two of them.
It’s good to be young!
He Zheng inadvertently looked at Su Erhe and saw that she was smiling. He had never seen her smile properly before. The corners of her mouth were raised, revealing her white teeth. Four words popped up in He Zheng's mind: red lips and white teeth.
Absolutely amazing!
She looks so beautiful when she smiles.
Amidst the laughter, Su Xiatian crossed her legs, stood up with her butt sticking out, and ran to He Zheng with an enamel bowl in her hand.
"Brother He Zheng, I, I!"
He Zheng didn't even blink, he just thought Su Xiatian was too noisy, "What's wrong with you?"
"My brother is your elder brother-in-law, then I am your younger brother-in-law, I want to eat spare ribs too!" As he said this, he stretched his neck to look into the big iron pot.
However, he didn't get the ribs because He Zheng thought he was in the way and left as soon as he arrived in Suerhe. So, Su Xiatian had to eat the chestnuts and walked back rubbing his head.
Su Xiatian complained to Su Erhe, "Sister, Brother He Zheng is partial."
"I'm not partial. Here, I'll give you two pieces of ribs."
Su Erhe took out two pieces of ribs from the bowl.
Su Xiatian took it, put it into his mouth, chewed it for a few bites, and spit out the bone.
"tasty."
Seeing him eating so happily, Suerhe felt inexplicably in a good mood.
When we were halfway through the pork rib soup, Su Dongtian finally came back.
"Brother, here!"
Su Xiatian shouted loudly, and Su Dongtian ran over quickly. He looked at the full bowl of rice and bone soup, which even contained pork ribs. He then looked into Su Erhe's bowl.
"Big sister, here are the ribs for you."
"I've eaten. This is yours. Eat it."
Su Erhe knew that her elder brother Su Dongtian was honest and kind-hearted. Because of this, she couldn't take advantage of him all the time. What's more, her new sister-in-law would be coming home soon, so as his sister-in-law, she had to be more careful.
"You took the meat to the Sun family. Did the Sun family say anything? Is Sun Hongying at home?" Su's mother was concerned about everything, so naturally she had to ask a few questions. Their family showed so much sincerity, and they also hoped that the two families could get along harmoniously in the future.
Su Dongtian was a little hungry. He took a big mouthful of rice and ate it before answering his mother. "I saw the Sun family's parents, but I didn't see Sun Hongying. They said she wasn't at home."
Su's mother was a little dissatisfied with this. "The team has already finished work at this hour. Why is a girl like her still running around outside?"
She doesn't have any bad intentions, she's just used to worrying and nagging.
"Are you talking about Sun Hongying from Crooked Tree Village? I saw her coming to our village just over two hours ago. Why didn't she go to your Su family?"
Everyone in the village knew that the eldest son of the Su family was engaged to the eldest daughter of the Sun family in Waishu Village. When they heard them talking, some people from the same village started to talk about it.
"No, he didn't come to our house." Su's mother said, and then asked Su's father and Su Xiatian.
There was no need to ask Su Erhe. Even if she walked past Sun Hongying face to face, she would not recognize her.
Everyone said they hadn't seen the girl from the Sun family.
Su's mother said, "Maybe you saw it wrong? I haven't heard that the Sun family has any relatives in our village, and they have never come to our house. Maybe you saw it wrong."
The man who spoke to me scratched his head and said, "Maybe, maybe I saw it wrongly."
He was still muttering to himself, "That's right, that person looked like a girl from the Sun family, but never mind, since the Su family said they didn't see her, then they didn't see her."
We had dinner until sunset.
Everyone went home with their hands behind their backs, feeling satisfied.
Su's mother was not in a hurry to leave. She stayed and helped Wang Xiu clean up and wash the pots.
Su Erhe and Su's father went home first. Su's father walked in front with his hands behind his back. Su Dongtian was talking to Su's father. Su Dongtian looked taller than Su's father.
Su Erhe walked behind them, listening to Su Xiatian chattering beside him.
Maybe it’s the perfect autumn breeze, or maybe it’s the warm pork rib soup.
She suddenly felt that such a simple life was quite comfortable.
If only someone hadn’t grabbed her ponytail!
"Sulhe!"
He Zheng had long wanted to grab Su Erhe's ponytail. Unlike other girls who liked to divide their hair into two strands and braid them to hang on their shoulders, Su Erhe tied a ponytail. Her hair was not long and the ends were a little curly. When she walked, the ponytail would sway slightly from side to side with her movements, and underneath was her slender white neck.
When her ponytail was grabbed, Suerhe's scalp tightened and she had to stop.
She knew it was He Zheng without looking back. Su Erhe pulled the braid back, and the soft hair slid through her palm. He Zheng's fingertips subconsciously shrank.
"Are you childish?" Su Erhe rubbed his scalp and said.
"Who's childish!" He Zheng put his hands in his pockets, looked at Su Erhe and said, "You'll pass by my house later, wait a minute before leaving!"
"Why?"
Su Erhe asked, and He Zheng suddenly glared at her domineeringly, "Just wait!"
When returning to the village from the threshing ground, one does have to pass by the He family’s gate.
While Su Erhe was still considering whether to stop and wait, He Zheng ran into the house like a gust of wind and came out again a moment later with malted milk and candy in his hands. He looked at Su Erhe with dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with giving you something? Didn't your mother ask your eldest brother to take meat to his girlfriend's house? What's wrong with me buying you something?"
He stuffed them all into Su Erhe's arms, watching her pockets filled with candies and her arms holding the malted milk he bought for her.
He Zheng felt satisfied, and raised the corner of his mouth, "Okay, you can go back."
He also turned and walked into the house, his hands in his pockets. He was tall and strong, humming a little tune in a very good mood.
Su Erhe looked at the pile of things in his hand in embarrassment.
Her personality is...
Except for a few very good friends, since they are familiar with each other and will give each other gifts and treat each other to meals, if anyone else gives her something, she will feel very burdened and must buy something back, otherwise she will feel like she owes others something.
What now?
"Sister," a head came over, and before she could react, he grabbed a piece of candy from her pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth, "This is the candy Brother He Zheng bought for you, it's so sweet!"
Su Erhet wanted to beat this kid, "Su Xiatian, do you think I can accept these things?"
"Sister, why not? Isn't Brother He Zheng your boyfriend? When I have a girlfriend in the future, I will buy her candies and buy her the most beautiful floral fabrics. As men, we should be good to our partners. Look at my eldest brother. He takes all the good things he gets to the Sun family and won't even give them to me when I ask for them."
After Su Xiatian finished speaking, he stared at her pocket again.
Su Erhe grabbed a handful and gave it to him, "Take it, share some with big brother and mom and dad."
"Sister, you are so nice!"
Su Xiatian ran away happily with the candy in her pocket.
Su Erhe looked at the things in her hand and didn't care. She would find a way to sell the pork in the space for money, and then buy things for He Zheng to return it to him.
The Su family went home talking and laughing.
Not far away.
Zhu Xing watched the scene with gritted teeth, her hands clenched tightly. How could Su Erhe, such a shameless man, have the nerve to accept such an expensive thing from He Zheng? Then she felt envious. If He Zheng's partner was her, she would be able to eat delicious milk candy and malted milk. She earned a lot of work points a year, but the rations and money she was given were all controlled by Zhu's mother and would never be given to her.
Even during the Chinese New Year, she could only eat a few fruit candies.
