Cui Hongyu smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Miss Liu."
Liu Rumei took Cui Hongyu's hand and said, "Sister, if you call me like that, you'll be out of sight. I've already called you sister, so why don't you just call me sister."
Cui Hongyu had no choice but to blush and call her sister again, which made Liu Rumei very happy. She picked up Cui Hongyu's red needlework on the table and said, "Sister, you are really ingenious. Look at this place, I can't embroider it well. Why don't you teach me how to embroider it?"
I".
Cui Hongyu naturally became interested when talking about being a female celebrity, and the two simply sat next to each other and started talking.
Chen Xiaobei still felt a little strange about Liu Rumei's change in attitude.
A wealthy lady from a high-ranking prince's family suddenly talked to me about sisters and brothers. What does this close relationship mean?
Just where Chen Xiaobei was thinking wildly, Liu Ce suddenly ran in in a hurry, causing another burst of chickens and dogs to bark in the yard.
"Ms. Miss."
Liu Rumei frowned, "How unbecoming is it to make such a fuss?"
"Miss, there is news from the capital."
Upon hearing this, Liu Rumei stood up, nodded to Cui Hongyu and Chen Xiaobei as an apology, and then followed Liu Ce out of the yard.
As soon as he left the courtyard, Liu Ce couldn't wait to say, "Miss, there is news from the capital that the second young master has arrived in Qingniu County and will arrive in two days."
Liu Rumei thought for a while, "Second brother will definitely come to Qingniu Mountain to have a look. You should take people to go to the mountain in advance and be prepared."
"Also, go and tell the guardian of the house. If the second brother comes and wants to find me, just tell him that he doesn't know where I am."
Liu Ce was stunned for a moment and said in a low voice, "Young lady, you must meet her, otherwise the conversation will be offended."
However, Liu Rumei smiled wanly, "Will there be less things to talk about? I haven't been at home these past few years, what kind words will my second brother say?"
Seeing that he was silent, Liu Rumei sighed, "Okay, I know how to deal with it, just do as I say."
Liu Ce took the order and left. Liu Rumei looked back at Chen Xiaobei's home and hesitated. In the end, she did not choose to come back. In fact, in her heart, she still wanted to stay with Cui Hongyu for a while.
Because she was with Cui Hongyu, she felt relaxed as never before. It was a feeling of completely letting go of the burden and being unrestrained. She had not experienced this feeling for many years.
Being delayed by Liu Rumei, Chen Xiaobei knew that even if Cui Hongyu went up the mountain with him, he would not have time to practice Tai Chi, so he might as well save some energy and go alone.
"Hongyu, it's getting late. I'll go into the mountain by myself."
Cui Hongyu blushed and nodded, "Then I will wait at home for my husband to come back."
Chen Xiaobei still followed the original road, leaving the village and then turning back towards the mountain.
Walking in this mountain.
As far as the eye can see, there are green grass and lush green grass.
Occasionally there are a few trees with green to black leaves and unknown birds perched on them.
This reminded him of his previous life, when there was a small river outside his hometown village.
The same is true for the riverside, with green grass and an occasional tree on the bank.
How he wished that a bolt of lightning would hit him at this time and bring him back to that haunting childhood.
Concentrated on his thoughts, he didn't notice Chen Sanqiu following him from a distance.
When Chen Xiaobei came to this apple forest, he had a hearty meal first, and then he picked the fruits slowly.
After picking up a full basket, Chen Xiaobei didn't stop for a moment and hurried back. He had to get home before the sun set.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei walking away, Chen Sanqiu hurriedly stepped forward, picked a dozen fruits, put them in his arms, and hurried home.
When Chen Sanqiu returned home, he excitedly shouted to his wife Liu as soon as he entered the door, "I'm here to give you a rare thing to try."
Mrs. Liu then carefully took a bite. After just one bite, she couldn't help but get excited, "It's delicious. Husband, it's really delicious."
After taking a few bites, Ms. Liu suddenly asked, "Husband, where did you get this?"
Chen Sanqiu chuckled, "This is a wild fruit from the mountain."
Mrs. Liu was shocked, "You went up the mountain?"
Chen Sanqiu smiled and nodded, "I went up the mountain, but it wasn't me. I followed Chen Xiaobei and went there secretly."
"You don't know, Chen Xiaobei went up the mountain to pick this. I told you that he picked a basket full of it, but it only weighed seventy or eighty pounds."
"Husband, why do you think Chen Xiaobei is picking so many fruits?"
Chen Sanqiu sighed, "If you pick so many fruits, you probably need to exchange them for silver."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu looked envious, "How about we go pick some and send them to the county town to sell them."
Chen Sanqiu glared, "Nonsense, I'm just a scholar, how can I do such a business thing."
"What do you mean, husband?"
Chen Sanqiu snorted coldly, "Have you forgotten? Two days ago, I went to see Chen Xiaobei and wanted to teach a few students in the village and collect some tuition fees, but he was so humiliating."
"Husband, they say arms can't twist thighs. In this village, he, Chen Xiaobei, has the final say on all matters big and small. Let's just bear with it."
"You're right, he has the final say in our village, but outside the village, don't forget that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky." Chen Sanqiu said, his hands dancing in the air.
Look at Chen Sanqiu gritting his teeth.
Mrs. Liu was even more dizzy.
"Husband, what do you want?"
Chen Sanqiu snorted coldly, "Have you forgotten? Your uncle is Dana Cui."
Upon hearing this, Ms. Liu hesitated and said, "But that's just a distant uncle of mine."
"Hey, you don't care. Now, only Dana Cui can cure Chen Xiaobei."
Mrs. Liu was doubtful, "But it can't be done for no reason..."
Sanqiu chuckled, "Don't worry, as long as you bring me into his home, I will have a way to convince him."
Ms. Liu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
There was no time to eat, so the two hurriedly packed up and rushed to Cuijiazhuang.
Cui Dana's house is in Cuijiazhuang, which is second to none.
There are no big households in Hetou Village, everyone is of similar level.
But Cuijiazhuang is different. Cui Dana's land in Cuijiazhuang occupies more than half of the village. There are more than a dozen long-term workers in the family, not to mention part-time workers during the busy farming season. Half of the villagers have to work for him.
Although Cui Dana is only the village protection captain of the village, his right to speak is much more effective than that of the gray-haired Li Chang.
Although he and Liu are only distant relatives, Dana Cui still recognizes this marriage.
Therefore, after meeting, he was very polite and said, "Liu Ping, I haven't seen you in a few years. You still look like you were a child."
Liu Ping seemed flattered by Dana Cui's politeness.
"Uncle, you are joking, I have become a yellow-faced woman by now."
"By the way, we are here to see you today. Sanqiu has something important to say."
