Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Luo Ziyang wanted to rush out and ask Li Xiaoqing what was wrong.
Why did she treat him like this?!
However, Luo Ziyang didn’t dare to ask. He was afraid that if he did, he wouldn’t have the chance to get close to her anymore. He was even more afraid that after Li Xiaoqing found out about his feelings, she would hide from him!
He was so anxious that he felt like his heart was being stir-fried in a pot.
When Li Xiaoran sensed their emotions, she was immediately amused.
Her sister was finally enlightened!
At this moment, she must have realized her feelings for Luo Ziyang!
As for Luo Ziyang, Li Xiaoqing didn’t know that he wanted to approach her but was too scared to do so.
These two people were really interesting!
But speaking of which, this couple had progressed so quickly, but unfortunately, that blockhead Shu Ruyue still hadn’t realized Wu Qinghe’s feelings for her!
As Li Xiaoran pondered over it, she scooped up the cooked peanuts from the pot.
“Zi Yang, take out the boiled peanuts!”
After Luo Ziyang came back to his senses, he nodded. Then, he carried a large basket and walked out.
There were still some in the pot. After putting them in the small basket, Li Xiaoran carried it outside.
Wu Qinghe also brought over the herbal tea that he had prepared previously. Everyone drank the herbal tea as they ate boiled peanuts.
The cooked peanuts were addictingly delicious.
If they weren’t careful, they might overeat.
Now, they didn’t have to eat at night, since the meal was replaced by boiled peanuts!
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone bade farewell and left with the watermelons and peanuts.
Zhao Xiu’s family was the last to leave. Before leaving, Zhao Xiu hesitated for a moment and finally said, “Daughter, son-in-law, your father and I will go to the shop in town tomorrow. We might have to stay in town for a while. Don’t partic.i.p.ate in Mao Dao’s marriage proposal tomorrow. With your grandfather and grandmother around, your second uncle and second aunt won’t cause trouble for you guys!”
When Li Xiaoran heard her mother’s words, she smiled. “Mother, it’s fine! It’s useless even if Second Uncle and Second Aunt come to me!” With her daughter’s a.s.surance, Zhao Xiu was relieved.
Li Shun thought of something and said, “Xiao Qing will move in with you guys from tomorrow onwards! This way, her safety can be guaranteed, and Ziyang won’t have to run back and forth!”
Zhao Xiu nodded and said, “Yes, yes, yes. I almost forgot about this. Why don’t we let Xiao Qing stay here today?! Tomorrow, your father and I will go to the village and take an ox cart to town!”
“Father, Mother, don’t we have an ox cart at home? Just use it!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and reminded them.
Zhao Xiu shook her head and said, “We need to feed the cows to reach the town. Why bother?! We just need to spend a few cents to get an ox cart to take us to town. It’s more convenient!”
When Li Xiaoran heard her mother’s words, she stopped persuading her.
Her parents were getting more and more independent now, so she should respect their decisions!
Li Xiaoran thought of something and reminded them, “Alright, you guys can make your own decisions! When you come back, go to the wine shop. Uncle He will arrange for a carriage to send you guys back!”
“Got it! Don’t worry! It’s not the first time we’ve done this!” Li Shun nodded and remembered his daughter’s words.
Li Xiaoqing followed her parents back to get some clothes.
Although there were also clothes here, she hadn’t washed them for a long time, so it was better to go home and get two sets of clean clothes.
After she took the time to wash and dry her clothes tomorrow, she wouldn’t have to worry about not having enough clothes to wear.
If Li Xiaoqing wanted to go back, Luo Ziyang naturally had to follow her.
Because Zhao Xiu and Li Shun were around, the two of them didn’t say anything to each other.
After Li Xiaoqing packed her clothes, the two of them walked on the road very quietly.
Li Xiaoqing could feel Luo Ziyang’s gaze on her.
In the past, she wouldn’t have sensed this at all!
But today, she was very sensitive to everything Luo Ziyang did.
“Xiao Qing, did I do something wrong to make you unhappy? Is that why you became so silent?” Luo Ziyang finally couldn’t help but ask.
Li Xiaoqing blushed when she heard Luo Ziyang’s words.
Fortunately, it was dark at this time, so no one could see her blush.
“No, no! I’m just thinking about something!” Li Xiaoqing said.
Luo Ziyang asked with concern, “Did you encounter any difficulties? You can tell me. Perhaps I can help you resolve these difficulties!”
When Li Xiaoqing heard Luo Ziyang’s words, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
At this moment, Li Xiaoqing could see Luo Ziyang standing there, but she couldn’t see his expression clearly.
“This afternoon, I was envious that Zhao Sisi’s marriage was settled, but Zhao Sisi said that I could get engaged before her. I said that I hadn’t even found the man I wanted to marry, so how could I get engaged? In the end, Zhao Sisi said that I had someone by my side! But no matter how I thought about it, I only had Yuan Cheng by my side! Could it be that I should get engaged to Yuan
Cheng?”
Li Xiaoqing’s words were like a bolt of lightning to Luo Ziyang.
“I’m wondering if Yuan Cheng is suitable.” Li Xiaoqing said, “Yuan Cheng is the only one in his family, so he might agree to marry into my family. With my sister and brother-in-law around, I’m not afraid that Yuan Cheng will mistreat me, so I think it’s not impossible for me to marry Yuan Cheng!”
“No!” When Luo Ziyang heard this, he immediately said, “Don’t even think about it. Not at all! If you really want to find someone to marry into the family, how about me?”
However, since he had already said it out loud, Luo Ziyang no longer felt so restrained.
“Originally, I just wanted to wait for you to grow up and understand my feelings before telling you about this! But now, I don’t dare to wait anymore! I’m afraid that if I wait any longer, you’ll be s.n.a.t.c.hed away by others! First, it was Liu Mingkun. Now, even Yuan Cheng has appeared! If you can consider Yuan Cheng, why can’t it be me?
It was Li Xiaoqing’s turn to be shocked.
“Brother Ziyang, are you willing to marry into my family?”
