Wang Tuzi smiled, but then looked at Chen Weimin obediently. You know, it is usually the man who makes the decisions in the family, especially when it comes to the marriage of children.
Chen Weimin was still hesitating. Zhaodi became a little anxious. She walked to her man and said "one hundred yuan" in a very low voice, which made Chen Weimin nod.
Cuihua opened her mouth slightly and watched Chen Weimin and his wife agree to the marriage immediately. She couldn't help feeling disappointed for Chunhua. Didn't they love Chunhua the most? Why did they change their minds just because they saw the money and the bicycle
After hearing the specific answer, Wang Butzi nodded repeatedly. He was unwilling to even drink a sip of water. He said goodbye and left. He could lose his virginity again, and he was happy just thinking about it.
Seeing that things were basically going according to his arrangement, Li Huan went home with peace of mind. There was already a large lunch box of plump dumplings on the table in the main room. Knowing that it was prepared for Cheng Qiao, he picked up the lunch box and prepared to leave.
"Huan'er, eat some dumplings first, and don't rush back tomorrow."
Knowing that Li Huan would stay up all night tonight, Li's mother hurried to the kitchen and got a big bowl of dumplings for Li Huan to eat before leaving.
"Got it, mother. You and your sister don't have to be too tired tomorrow. Our family doesn't lack those centimeters. Oh, and take this money. You can give it to Cheng Qiao as a betrothal gift when the time comes."
Li Huan took out three hundred yuan and handed it over, but Li's mother did not take it. Instead, she looked at Li Huan worriedly. She knew what her son was doing, and it would be no joke if he was caught.
"Son, you can't do this after you get married, otherwise what will happen to your wife and children in the future?"
"Mom, I know. You take this money. You have to use the money to marry your elder brother and prepare a dowry for your younger sister. You can take the money your son has. Give Cheng Qiao 200 yuan as a betrothal gift and keep the rest for your old age."
Li Huan smiled and stuffed the money into his mother's hand, picked up the lunch box and left. When he hurried to the hospital, it was already dark.
"Cheng Qiao, you must be hungry. Come and have some dumplings."
Cheng Qiao looked at the plump white dumplings and felt warm in her heart. She knew at a glance that these dumplings were made by her future mother-in-law, and she could finally eat them again.
"Did you buy any meat today?"
"I was lucky today. I bought a few strips of meat at the black market. I gave one to the educated youth camp and one to my family. So my mother made dumplings and asked me to bring them to you."
Cheng Qiao knew that even with a ticket, the price of meat on the black market would still be higher than that at the meat processing plant. It was a pity for the meat in her space, as it once again lost the opportunity to show up.
"Don't go to the black market anymore. What if you get caught?"
"Wife, I understand. Isn't the autumn harvest tomorrow? I want my mother and sister to eat better."
"Well, anyway, you are not allowed to go there anymore, understand? And have you eaten yet?"
Cheng Qiao rolled her eyes at Li Huan and took the lunch box. Just this one look made Li Huan's mouth curl up with joy. How could his wife be so good and care about him wholeheartedly
"I've eaten. You must be hungry. Do you want me to feed you?"
"No, my head is injured, not my hand. How can I ask you to feed me?"
Cheng Qiao rolled her eyes at Li Huan again, making Li Huan giggle foolishly.
"Wife, let me tell you something. Chen Chunhua is getting married."
"Marry, who?"
"Do you know that Wang the butcher from the meat processing factory married this guy?"
Cheng Qiao frowned slightly. Wang the Butcher, he looks so familiar. By the way, is he the distant relative of Aunt Wang’s family whose wife died
"Li Huan, did Wang the butcher's wife die? How did his wife die?"
Li Huan touched the white gauze on Cheng Qiao's head and clenched his fists unconsciously, but his heart was unusually calm.
"Yes, Wang Tuzi's wife was indeed dead, and he killed her by mistake. But Wang Tuzi was lucky and no one found out, so he escaped punishment."
Cheng Qiao was shocked, then her eyes became moist and she felt extremely sad. Li Huan could actually do this for her. She must have been blinded by greed in her previous life.
Fortunately, there is reincarnation, and she was reborn with her treasure. In this life, she must hold Li Huan's hand and grow old together with him, give birth to children for him, and respect the elderly and love the young for him.
"Eat it quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold. I've kept it warm in my heart."
Li Huan handed over the chopsticks and went to the tea room. Cheng Qiao took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and started eating bite by bite.
At night, Li Huan was making the bed next to Cheng Qiao. Cheng Qiao, who originally thought that she would suffer from insomnia with Li Huan around, unexpectedly found herself feeling much more at ease and fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.
Li Huan wanted to say something to Cheng Qiao, but he found that the little girl had fallen asleep. Looking at Cheng Qiao's long eyelashes covering her eyes like a small fan, he couldn't help but reach out his hand.
But before his hand touched her eyelashes, he withdrew it. Forget it, he didn't want to disturb the little girl's sleep. However, he still gently kissed her fair face, covered her with the quilt, and slept on his own bed.
Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, Li Huan prepared breakfast for Cheng Qiao. The breakfast was simple, a bowl of thick rice porridge, a plate of pickles, and a big meat bun.
"The food for patients is good. Look at the thick rice porridge and the big meat buns. Just looking at them makes me hungry."
Cheng Qiao looked at the big meat bun with a strange expression. No way, why are they so similar to the big meat buns in her own grocery store? I wonder if they taste the same.
After picking up the big meat bun and taking a bite, Cheng Qiao sighed. To be honest, the meat buns nowadays are really delicious. The meat buns sold in the grocery store always lack the flavor of meat.
"Where's your breakfast? Why don't you eat it?"
Cheng Qiao glanced at Li Huan who was sitting next to her and watching her eat meat buns, and couldn't help but frown. Li Huan smiled and said that after she finished eating, they would go to the state-owned restaurant outside to buy some. The patient meals were only provided to patients, and he would not have any share.
Cheng Qiao quickly waved his hand and told him to go and have breakfast. Li Huan thought about it and felt that he should go and come back quickly, otherwise if someone from the Chen family came, Cheng Qiao would not be able to handle it alone.
Sure enough, not long after Li Huan left, Zhaodi ran into the ward with sweat on her face. Today was the autumn harvest, and the men in the family went to the fields at dawn, so she also hurried over.
"Cheng Zhiqing, I'm having breakfast."
"It turns out that it's my auntie. Please take a seat. This is a patient meal, so I won't treat my auntie to a meal."
"No, no, Cheng Zhiqing, I'm sorry for wronging you yesterday. My Chunhua was stupid and her father has severely criticized her. Here is three hundred yuan as compensation for you. Keep it."
Cheng Qiao looked at a thick stack of money being taken out of a grain bag, and thought to himself that Chen Chunhua's family was really rich. Even if the betrothal gift was only 100 yuan, the family would have 200 yuan in assets.
