Not a family, not a family, Zhou Keran thought.
Throughout the morning, besides catching fish and throwing them into the quagmire to delay the fishing progress, what else did Huacui do? The only physical work she did was to hold up a small umbrella and watch the excitement. Where was she tired?
Zhou Keran had a calm smile on her face, but in fact she was complaining crazily in her heart. But as the saying goes, Zhou Yu beats the yellow cover and one is willing to be beaten, and the other is willing to suffer, she really can't care.
On the dinner table.
"Cui Cui, Auntie didn't put in many chili peppers today, do you think you're still used to it?" Li Guifang remembered that Hua Cui can't eat spicy food, so today's dish was deliberately made light.
"I'm used to it! As long as it's made by my aunt, I like any taste." Hua Cui smeared honey in her mouth. She was deeply moved and at the same time a little proud.
She raised her tail and thought, she could handle the difficult "future mother-in-law" easily, what else could she not do?
Oh, except for working in the fields and college entrance examination questions.
Li Guifang smiled and gave Huacui some more chopsticks to eat, as if she was taking care of her daughter. The others didn't say anything, they were used to it.
Only Chen Lili was not happy holding her chopsticks. Her taste was exactly the opposite of Hua Cui's. She didn't like anything spicy. It wasn't that she was angry about today's dishes. It was mainly because there was no harm without comparison.
Her mother-in-law was so kind to outsiders, which made her daughter-in-law look like a chosen one, and Chen Lili was inevitably unbalanced.
She laughed and jabbed a few words: "Hua educated youth are indeed educated youth from the city. Unlike us country people who are not picky and only like to eat something with strong taste, so that we can work energetically."
Hua Cui didn't hear her weirdness, but answered seriously: "No, no, no, Sister Lili, I don't think it has anything to do with where you come from. My parents love Sichuan and Hunan cuisine."
Chen Lili did not expect that she would not answer the question at all, so she could only laugh a few times: "Oh."
"If you're not picky, just talk less and eat more." Li Guifang is such a shrewd person. She immediately noticed the thorn in Chen Lili's words. She was a little unhappy and warned in a gentle tone, "Just eat what you have, don't talk about anything else." Used.”
Chen Lili's smile froze, not daring to make a mistake in front of her mother-in-law, and whispered back, "I understand."
This time she was indeed a bit unreasonable. She had never suffered hardship since she married into the Zhao family. Her husband Zhao Qikang was honest and responsible, and the daughter she gave birth to was well-behaved and sensible. Her mother-in-law was also sensible and never felt sorry for her.
Compared to other "little wives in dire straits" in the village, she is not very lucky, so she should be satisfied.
Hua Cui was still in the dark and couldn't figure out the situation. She smiled like a fool: "Speaking of which, I haven't eaten much Sichuan food since my parents left. I still miss it a little bit occasionally."
Chen Lili was stunned, and her mind was filled with another thing: "Your parents..."
Oops, I got it wrong! Hua Cui also reacted at this time, blaming her for quickly saying that she was her parents. The parents of the original owner's body were alive and well, why should they leave!
The eyes of the people at the table gathered in an instant, with surprise, sympathy, and love...
"Uh, um." Hua Cui's scalp suddenly went numb, but the words she said were like water thrown out and she couldn't take them back. She was forced to tell lies with her eyes open, "My parents left a few years ago. In fact, I A child adopted by his current parents.”
In this way, barely is not a lie.
It turns out that Huacui has such a tragic past!
Chen Lili suddenly lost all her sullenness and even wanted to slap herself twice for talking too much!
If I tell you to talk too much, I won’t open the door to that pot!
Niu Niu was busy fighting with the food in the bowl. She didn't quite understand Hua Cui's words, so she opened her big black eyes and asked: "Mom, where did sister Cuicui's mother go?"
Her daughter's words gave Chen Lili a knowing blow. She covered Niu Niu's mouth, feeling a little at a loss: "Yes, I'm sorry, educated youth, I shouldn't have mentioned this."
"It's okay, Sister Lili, you don't need to apologize." Hua Cui shook her head indifferently, and her "pretending to be strong" smile made Chen Lili feel even more guilty and uneasy.
Poor child, Li Guifang's look at Hua Cui changed instantly, becoming more loving. She thought more about it. Although Hua Cui's temperament didn't look like she would be bullied by her adoptive parents, she was still an adoptive parent no matter what. Comparable to biological parents.
Li Guifang felt sour and astringent in her heart. She was an extremely emotional person. Sometimes she would cry sadly when she woke up in the middle of the night and thought about birth, old age, illness and death, and that her wife and children would leave sooner or later. A few years ago... at that time Hua Cui was still a Children, at such a young age, alas.
"Cui Cui, if you have any difficulties in the future, remember to come to Auntie. Auntie doesn't have much ability, but I can help if I can!"
Chen Lili nodded accordingly.
Hua Cui held her face happily: "Really?"
Her aunt is so kind to her. If she proposes marriage to her in a few days, the success rate will definitely be 100%!
Li Guifang looked at her lovingly: "Of course it's true. Can I still lie to you?"
Hua Cui laughed innocently.
Looking at this scene, Zhou Keran raised his eyebrows calmly.
She couldn't help but start to look forward to her future life in Qingshan Village. It would definitely be lively with flowers and green flowers there.
After dinner, the group continued to be busy fishing. It was still raining lightly. Huacui, who was intent on joining in the fun, held up an umbrella. Zhou Haiwen was pulled over by Zhou Keran to do hard work. It was her first day here and she had a lot of things to pack.
Hua Cui originally volunteered to improve the heroine's favorability, but when she heard that it was just menial and tiring work, she gave up immediately.
There’s no need to rush to gain a good impression for a while, you have to do it step by step.
Another net of fish was thrown into the bucket. Hua Cui was thinking about other things and asked: "Brother Xiao Ming, when will it end?"
"A few more times and it's almost done. Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired." She just sat on a small bench and watched the crowd, so she didn't feel tired. "I just think the weather today is very good, and it's very suitable for us to go on a date~"
Zhao Qiming's face turned red: "A date?"
"Yeah, yeah, we haven't dated yet."
She was going to propose marriage soon, but the two of them didn't even have a formal date. This was really unreasonable, so Huacui decided to seize the time and go through the process.
There can be no further delay! Hua Cui's patience is running out. If she still can't win over Zhao Qiming, she will have to consider changing the candidate!
"Where are we going to go on a date?" Zhao Qiming gradually gave up resistance to Hua Cui's offensive. The more she resisted, the more excited she became. It was better to just accept the situation.
In other words, he couldn't resist in the first place.
"Big paddy fields."
Hua Cui deeply felt that that was the place where she and he would fall in love.
Zhao Qiming's heart was pounding. It was his first date in his life, and he nodded shyly and shamefully.
How to go on a date? What to do? What if she is not satisfied?
Ever since Huacui mentioned the date, Zhao Qiming had been absent-minded and made repeated mistakes when fishing. He only had these three questions in his mind.
The waiting process was sweet and heart-wrenching. In the end, Zhao Qiming finished fishing without hesitation and left the finishing work to others. His face looked a little unnatural as he had a guilty conscience, and then he sneaked away from the crowd. In order to avoid being noticed, Hua Cui left early. , telling him to find her before leaving.
When they arrived at their destination, Zhao Qiming saw Hua Cui waiting for him. Although it was just a silhouette, she turned her head when she heard his footsteps with a bright smile.
"Brother Xiao Ming, are you nervous?"
Does this count as a date? To be more precise, it was a private meeting. Zhao Qiming was so nervous that he almost forgot how to breathe. He stuttered: "It's okay, it's okay." His mouth was so tough that Hua Cui curled her lips and didn't expose him.
However, his innocent and shy look touched her slightly. Hua Cui recalled that in her previous life, when she dated her first three loves, they were so innocent, like a primary school chick falling in love.
"Brother Xiao Ming." Niu Colu Huacui boldly took Zhao Qiming's hand. To prevent him from jumping excitedly into the paddy field again, she deliberately chose a flat road, "Do you not love me anymore?"
Zhao Qiming cannot face this problem of death: "?"
"Don't you notice anything different about me? Don't you see me in your eyes? Doesn't the wreath on my head look good? Why don't you praise me?"
Finally, she concluded: "I knew you were just coveting my beauty and didn't love me at all."
In addition to Huacui, the idle crowd watching the fishing also included a bunch of little kids from the village. Gradually, the little kids discovered that compared to the fish, Huacui, the living person, was obviously more interesting.
Who is Huacui? She has been the king of children since childhood, coaxing them into confusion with a few words, and there are also clever children who make garlands for her in order to compete with her in front of her.
Don't tell me, it looks pretty good.
Hua Cui put on the garland happily and looked pretty for a long time. She felt that she was now the little fairy wearing the garland in the movies and TV series. Zhao Qiming, who had ten layers of filters for her, also felt that she was a little fairy in the sky, but he was embarrassed to praise her. Exit, nodding stiffly: "It looks good."
"You're so stupid. You can't praise people at all. You know, I need to learn more in the future?" Hua Cui was very picky.
Zhao Qiming nodded honestly.
Hua Cui was then satisfied and said sweetly: "But who made me like you so much? I forgive you."
Zhao Qiming kept saying "I like you too" in his heart and typed it countless times. Before he could muster up the courage to say it, Hua Cui said again: "Brother Xiao Ming, I really want to be inseparable from you right away. When are we?" How can I get married?”
Regarding this issue, Zhao Qiming was both surprised and not surprised. Love without the purpose of marriage is just a hooligan. He is not the kind of irresponsible man. Since he agreed to Hua Cui's request for a date, he has already made preparations.
"I, I will prepare for the marriage proposal." Zhao Qiming obviously thought a lot, and he was a bit inferior and unnatural, "Cui Cui, your parents... do they know?"
If it were another girl, he wouldn't be worried, but if it were Hua Cui, Zhao Qiming would be worried that she would boldly talk about marriage in the countryside, while her parents at home would know nothing.
Although Hua Cui took the initiative in everything, Zhao Qiming still felt that he had bullied others.
If her parents knew about this and agreed, Zhao Qiming decided to take time to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law no matter what. If Huacui's parents didn't know, Zhao Qiming's conscience would prevent him from doing such bullying.
Hua Cui was silent for a moment, her mind racing: "Of course I know, brother Xiao Ming, don't worry, my parents are satisfied with you."
It's fake. The parents who are far away in City A don't know that the original owner has left, let alone that there is a soul from another world occupying their daughter's body, and that she is about to have a flash marriage.
Zhao Qiming's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and he said seriously: "Cui Cui, getting married is not a trivial matter, and you can't be so hasty. If your father-in-law and mother-in-law agree, you and I will go home to visit them at the end of the year. If you are anxious, you will have to wait until the farming season is over at the earliest. We’ll rush there by train. If the father-in-law and mother-in-law want to come here, they can. There are also betrothal gifts and other things that need to be purchased..."
Hua Cui had a headache: "...Stop it."
"What's wrong?"
Hua Cui deeply understands the horror of honest people, and she looks troubled: "Brother Xiao Ming, can we keep everything simple?"
"Why do you want to keep everything simple? Do you think it's too much trouble?" Zhao Qiming frowned. The more grand and formal the wedding in the countryside, the better. If it is too simple, it will make people laugh secretly, and it will appear that the bride is not taken seriously. He does not want Hua Cui to let Hua Cui Being laughed at,
Zhao Qiming thought she was afraid of trouble, and quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, I will take care of these trivial matters myself and won't trouble you."
Huacui was very moved and then rejected him: "No."
If she really gets married to the person she likes, Hua Cui thinks she might also have expectations for a luxurious and beautiful wedding of the century, but she doesn't like Zhao Qiming, doesn't like the countryside, and doesn't like this era where everything is lacking.
Therefore, the simpler this "wedding" is, the less likely it is that no one will care about it, so that she can clap her hands and leave when the time comes.
"But, Brother Xiao Ming, I feel sorry for you if it bothers you. As long as I can be with Brother Xiao Ming, I don't care about anything else."
Zhao Qiming couldn't help but smile. Although he knew that there was a lot of water in his words, he couldn't help but feel his heart burning like honey.
"No, this is not a trivial matter, so we can't be hasty." It's a pity that Zhao Qiming still has some sense and is not fooled into fooling around with her.
It’s hard to do, it’s really hard to do, why are you so stubborn!
Hua Cui wanted to lose her temper, but finally held back: "Brother Xiao Ming, we can hold the wedding first and try to finish it before the busy farming season so as not to delay the farm work. Then you can go home with me during the Chinese New Year, and I will You introduce me to my parents and relatives.”
This was just a temporary measure. In fact, Hua Cui had no intention of letting Zhao Qiming's existence be exposed at all. During the Chinese New Year, she would just find an excuse to fool him. By the time she was admitted to university and left, everything here would have nothing to do with her anymore.
Zhao Qiming still has some concerns: "Is this too rushed?
Huacui was impatient: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Just don't get married."
People have almost got it, can the cooked duck still fly?
Hua Cui's temper began to deteriorate unconsciously.
