Aunt Yang and the team leader's wife also arrived quite early. They originally wanted to come over to help with the work, but when they got here, they saw that everything had been cleaned up and there was no need for them to do anything, so they sat down and chatted with Xie Yun.
At around 8:00 am, Qin Minghao and his mother arrived on their bikes, with the handlebars full of things. As soon as they entered the house, his mother took Xie Yun's hand and asked about her well-being. Qin Minghao just stood by and watched Xie Yun without saying a word.
In fact, Xie Yun was also a little nervous. Aunt Yang and the captain's wife praised Qin Minghao, and Qin's mother praised Xie Yun. After praising each other for a while, Qin's mother said, "Xiao Yun is still young, so I thought of getting engaged first and getting married when Xiao Yun is old enough."
The captain's wife said: "As long as they are young and have a good relationship, that's all that matters."
Mother Qin and Xie Yun said, "Although you are the only one in the family, you must have everything you need. I think we are engaged today, and after you get married, you will follow Minghao. We old people will not live with you, you just need to live your own life."
When Aunt Yang heard this, she smiled and said, "Such a good mother-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern."
After a few people talked for a while, Xie Yun went to the kitchen to busy herself. Qin Minghao saw this and quickly followed to help.
When Qin Minghao arrived in the kitchen and saw that everything was ready, he sat down and started lighting the fire.
While lighting the fire, he looked at Xie Yun and thought to himself, "My wife is so pretty." "I got Yunyun's photo back. I'll give it to you later."
Xie Yun replied while cooking: "Okay"
Xie Yun fried two dishes, served the chicken that had been stewed in the morning, put the stewed pig's trotters on a plate, and mixed two vegetables.
After the dishes were prepared, they were sent to the main room, and the steamed buns made of two-grain flour were placed in a basin and brought to the table.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much, and Xie Yun’s cooking was really delicious.
After dinner, they cleared the table, made tea, and resumed their conversation. Mother Qin said, "Xiao Yun, this bracelet is my engagement gift for you. I'll give you something else when you get married." As she spoke, she pulled two gold bracelets wrapped in a handkerchief from her pocket and took Xie Yun's hand to put them on.
"It's so beautiful." The more Qin's mother looked at it, the more beautiful it became. A beautiful person looks even better with the bracelet.
"Thank you, Auntie," Xie Yun said shyly.
Aunt Yang and the captain's wife were stunned when they saw such a large pair of gold bracelets. "Oh my god, how much money does this cost? This is an engagement gift, not a wedding gift." But they were also really happy for Xie Yun, as it proved that her in-laws really liked her.
In their place, giving twenty yuan for a wedding is already a lot. Even in the city, people say that weddings require three major items, but in fact, only one is bought. If you buy two items, you are considered rich.
"I just like you, my child. If you were not old enough, I would like to hold your wedding right now." Qin's mother took Xie Yun's hand, looked at Xie Yun and said with a smile.
Xie Yun lowered her head shyly and said, "Auntie, I'm still young, there's no rush for this."
The few of them talked for a while before Qin's mother and Qin Minghao left. After seeing Qin's mother off, the captain's wife and Aunt Yang talked to Xie Yun for a while and praised Qin Minghao.
The captain's wife said, "Thank you, girl. I think your mother-in-law is really satisfied with you and treats you well."
Aunt Yang said, "Thank you, girl. I think you can discuss marriage now that you are eighteen years old. Where can you find such a good family?"
The captain's wife asked, "Have you met the rest of his family? Are they easy to get along with?"
Xie Yun: "I've met them, they're all very nice people."
The captain's wife said, "That's good. I can live comfortably after I marry him."
“It’s too early to say that now.”
Aunt Yang: "What's so early? You'll be eighteen next year, so you should start saving for your dowry now."
Xie Yun...
After seeing off the captain's wife and Aunt Yang, Xie Yun began to pack up the things that Qin's mother and others had brought with them, including four kinds of snacks, a piece of cloth and a piece of meat.
Xie Yun put away all her things, sat on the kang and started knitting a sweater again. Qin Minghao's sweater was almost finished, and she would give it to him after a while.
While knitting a sweater, she thought about what Aunt Yang and the others said. She now likes Qin Minghao very much and has no feeling of rejection at the thought of marrying him.
But she still felt that getting married at 18 was a bit early, so she didn't want to think about it anymore. It was fine the way it was now. What if she wanted to get married next year? With the way their relationship was developing now, she might not think it was too early then.
The next morning, after getting up early and cutting grass for the pigs, she changed her clothes and packed her things to go to the guesthouse. Qin's mother was going back today, and she wanted to take Qin's mother to catch the bus.
He also prepared food for Qin's mother on the road, and brought her some mountain products and dried chickens and rabbits.
Qin Minghao still came to pick her up on his bike. This time, Xie Yun did not bother him on the way, and Qin Minghao felt quite disappointed.
The two of them arrived at the guesthouse and went to the train station with Qin's mother. Qin's mother was very happy to see that Xie Yun brought so many things for her. Qin's mother did not lack these things, but she was happy that Xie Yun had this thought, which proved that Xie Yun also cared about them.
Xie Yun said to Qin's mother, "Auntie, please be careful when you're in the car. There's food in this cloth bag that I made for you. When you get home, send us a message to let us know you're safe."
"Okay, if you have any problems here, just find Minghao, or you can call or send me a telegram. If Minghao bullies you, just tell me and I will take care of him." Qin's mother said to Xie Yun while holding her hand.
The two chatted for a while and then the train arrived at the station. They sent Qin's mother on the train and settled her down before getting off.
After the two of them returned, Qin Minghao did not work anymore. He held Xie Yun to sit on his lap, put his arm around Xie Yun's waist and said to her, "I will also go to the city to report the day after tomorrow."
Xie Yun looked at Qin Minghao and said, "Doesn't that mean we're leaving tomorrow?"
Qin Minghao said sullenly: "Well, I'll take the evening bus tomorrow. I can't bear to leave you." Qin Minghao didn't want to leave at all. He felt sad when he thought that he would not see his wife for a long time.
"Wife, it would be great if you were eighteen soon. Then we can get married and you can go with me."
"I can't bear to leave you either." Xie Yun felt reluctant when she heard that Qin Minghao was leaving. She felt depressed when she thought about not being able to see Qin Minghao for such a long time.
Qin Minghao kissed Xie Yun and called her "wife"
"Yeah," Xie Yun replied.
"daughter in law"
"Um"
"daughter in law"
The two of them stayed like this until the evening, and after dinner, Qin Minghao rode his bicycle back to the guesthouse.
After finishing work the next day, the two of them spent some time together, and Xie Yun started to cook for Qin Minghao.
I made all the meat I brought from the engagement day into meat sauce and made dumplings for Qin Minghao to eat in the car. I took out the sweater I knitted for Qin Minghao and tried it on. It fit him well.
Qin Minghao was also very happy to see the sweater, which was knitted for him by his wife.
