Chapter 258

When she came out from behind the tree, Zhong Ruyi's cheeks were flushed and her lips were a little swollen.

"Are you still going to catch rabbits?" Chen Dongzhi asked her with a satisfied smile on his face.

The result was a watery stare.

"No more catching! Let's go back." After saying this, she took the lead and walked ahead.

Chen Dongzhi behind him had a smile on his face and took two quick steps to catch up with the person in front.

When the two of them were going down the mountain, they met the villager again. Seeing that the two of them came down so quickly and empty-handed, he asked in confusion, "Aren't we going up to pick apples? Why are there no apples?"

Zhong Ruyi glanced at Chen Dongzhi beside her and saw him giving her a flattering smile. She ignored him and only talked to the villagers, "Ah, I looked somewhere else, but I didn't go to the apple tree."

"Let's go back first, uncle. Come over to our house when you have time."

The villager nodded with a smile, watched the two people walk away, and continued to dig bamboo shoots with his head down.

Seeing that her steps were getting faster and faster, Chen Dongzhi was worried that she would fall, so he quickly stepped forward and held her hand behind her.

"Hmph!" Zhong Ruyi snorted and gave him a look to let him figure it out for himself.

When they got home, Zhong Laosan came back and Zhong Ruyi immediately forgot what had just happened.

She ran over with a look of surprise, "Third brother! You've been gone for a long time!"

Zhong Laosan touched his head with a smile and said, "I was gone for a month. We went to a far place so we were gone for a longer time."

Chen Dongzhi nodded to him, asked a few questions about what happened during the escort mission, and then went back.

Before leaving, he pulled Zhong Ruyi's hand, but got slapped on the back of her hand.

He went back with a silly smile.

Zhang Mingzhu sat in the yard somewhat stiffly. Now that her third cousin had returned, was she going to be driven away?

She felt a little lost. The days she spent at the Zhong family were the best time of her life.

There won't be parents urging me to find a man, and there won't be a sister complaining to me about someone else getting a fashionable hairpin.

There won’t be any grandpa or grandpa who would tell me that I am a girl and worthless and ask me to give all the delicious food to my brother.

It would be great if I was really my uncle's child. Although my mother treats me well, in her heart my brother is the most important and my sister and I don't even count.

Zhang Mingzhu looked up at the sky with some melancholy, raising her head at a 45-degree angle. She didn't even glance at Chen Dongzhi, whom she had been thinking about all the time, and was completely immersed in her own thoughts.

Zhong Laosan was happily telling his little sister about the interesting things that happened on the road, when he was interrupted by the sigh of a complaining woman.

He looked at Zhang Mingzhu and asked quietly, "Why is she here?"

"According to her, she was kicked out by her mother." Zhong Ruyi moved Tiedan's slingshot on the table.

"By the way, she is sleeping in your room now, so you can only sleep in the living room at night."

Zhong Laosan wrinkled his nose and said, "If you want to sleep in the main room, then sleep in the main room."

He suddenly became a little excited and hooked his finger at Zhong Ruyi, signaling her to put her ear closer.

"What's the matter?" She came over cooperatively.

Zhong Laosan rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly but excitedly, "Little sister, you may have a third sister-in-law soon."

what?

Zhong Ruyi was still a little stunned.

Her impression of her third sister-in-law is still Zhou Yuru.

At that time, the third brother liked her very much.

Whenever I had something to do, I would run to Yangliu Village to find her and help her with work at her house.

Although Zhou Yuru disappeared and could not be found, the third brother also became depressed for a while.

I originally thought that the third brother would have to be emo for a while, but I didn't expect that he would find her a third sister-in-law without any warning.

She asked stupidly, "Is he from our village?"

After asking, I felt so stupid. If she was from my village, why didn't I see my third brother go to find that girl? I was so stupid.

Zhong Laosan didn't think his sister's question was stupid. He touched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "She's not from our village. I met her when I was escorting. Her name is Huang Ying. She's from Nanzhou. I met her when I first went to Nanzhou. After a few contacts, I felt that she was very nice."

He touched his head and then his nose, but didn't say what was good about it.

"Did she agree?" Zhong Ruyi asked. It was true that the third brother's love life was too bumpy, so people had to be cautious.

Zhang Mingzhu, who was standing by, had lost her melancholy when Zhong Laosan said he had a girl he liked, and instead pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.

As he listened, the stool under his butt was getting closer and closer to Zhong Ruyi and the other person.

Zhong Laosan was very happy and said proudly, "She agreed. It was because she agreed that I wanted to come back and tell my parents."

For a man and a woman who love each other, there will be no problem as long as neither of their families are extremely evil.

During dinner in the evening, Zhong Laosan talked about this.

The family was a little surprised. Li Guihua asked, "Little brother, Nanzhou is not close to us. Will her parents agree?"

The others also looked at him, waiting for him to speak.

Zhong Laosan took a bite of rice and said vaguely, "Her parents are no longer with us. Her uncle and aunt raised her. They all agreed."

What he didn't say was that Huang Ying's uncle and aunt said that if Huang Ying really married him, they would follow her from Nanzhou to Yunzhou Xinghua Village.

My uncle and aunt have no children, only Huang Ying, and they will follow her wherever she gets married.

After listening to this, Mr. Zhong didn't say anything else. He just said he would wait for Mother Zhong to come back and see what she said.

A few days later, the auspicious day for moving into Chen Dongzhi's new house arrived.

Chen's mother went door to door and told the villagers early on to come over on that day to eat wedding cakes.

Because a banquet had already been held when the beam was raised, there was no need to hold another banquet when moving. People who came to congratulate could just eat some wedding cakes.

Mother Zhong knew that tomorrow was a good day for the Chen family to move, so she hurried back in the evening.

Everything that needs to be prepared is ready.

Before daybreak, everyone from the Zhong and Chen families were already up.

A bucket of rice that was eight-tenths full was topped with a piece of red cloth, with nine copper coins wrapped in the cloth.

Then take water from the water tank in the Chen family’s old house, fill it to 70%, and then put it together with the rice bucket.

There was also a bowl of stove ash taken from the kitchen of the Chen family's old house, a bundle of vegetables, and a bundle of firewood.

All the newly bought pots, pans, brooms, dustpans, etc. were tied with red cloth.

After all these things are prepared, you can move into the new house when the auspicious time comes.

Zhong's mother and Chen's mother were responsible for opening the door.

Originally, Zhong's mother was reluctant and let Chen's mother go alone, but Chen's mother said that she was blessed with a son and a daughter, and it was just right to open the door.

The two of them tried to refuse, but actually Mother Zhong was willing to do so, but her daughter and Chen Dongzhi weren't married yet and she was afraid of gossip, so after thinking about it she decided to refuse.

But he couldn't resist the persuasion of Chen's mother and daughter, and finally agreed.

She changed into her best clothes, combed her hair, and opened the door with Chen's mother with a happy face.

After moving the things in, everyone else in the house must also come in with their things in their hands.

You cannot enter the house empty-handed on the day of moving, otherwise it will be unlucky.

The wedding cakes are ready. They are made of flour, sugar and a few eggs into round cakes, and each person who comes gets one.

People came one after another to sit and drink tea and chat.
