  Chapter 127: Peacefully and Harmoniously     Li Junlu was having a headache. He closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. “I don't want to deal with it anymore, no matter what.” Marry if you want to marry. Just move into your husband's family as soon as possible. I don't want to worry about it anymore. He opened his eyes again and saw the badge and comb on the coffee table.   He thought they looked familiar.   “I've seen this badge somewhere.”   Ying Sisi suddenly remembered Grandma's words in the letter. She quickly put it away and said, “I found it in my room. It must be my father-in-law's.”   This badge is similar to the one that father Qin is wearing in the photo that hangs on the wall in the living room.   It definitely belongs to him.   Li Junlu didn't suspect anything. He didn't think about it anymore. “Have your parents-in-law come to stay with you?”   “No.”   Li Junlu said with a sigh, “You're smart. You liste...

  Chapter 126: Purpose     Ying Sisi took the package after signing the receipt. She noticed that the return address was her old home in the south, and the sender was Hu Zhiqing.   My relationship with Hu Zhiqing isn't close. Why would he send me something? She opened the outer layer of the packaging.   A long box was inside.   There was a letter on top of the box. It was addressed to Ying Sisi.   It was in Grandma Hua Kui's handwriting.   Is she thanking me for sending the winter clothes?   Why be so polite? It doesn't cost anything to send a package back. *****   She opened the letter and read:   Ying Sisi,   I received your winter clothes.   They're so warm.   You've been in the city for 123 days, right?   Ever since you went to the city, I haven't slept well. It's not because I miss you. It's because I have no one to keep me company. It's too lonely.   Don't think it's because I'm not married or don'...

  Chapter 125: Awkward      Ying Sisi went to the restaurant by a roundabout way.   Old Zhao was just about to order some river mussels. “You're just in time.  I want to order a hundred pounds of the river mussels. The price is one yuan per pound.  It's even more expensive than the fish we get from the market.  What do you think?  If you have peaches, bring some of those too.”   “I'm not selling them anymore.”  Ying Sisi revealed about the upcoming inspection.  “You should lay low for a while.  If you're caught, the restaurant will push all the blame on you.  You'll be in trouble.”   “Where did you hear that?  Are you trying to scare me? I'm not easily scared.”  Old Zhao laughed.   Ying Sisi said seriously, “I'm not joking. This information is very reliable.  If we weren't good friends, I wouldn't bother to tell you. You can choose not to believe me.  But don't cry when you lose your job....

  Chapter 124: Too Stupid      Mother Qin couldn't believe her ears. My son has that kind of ability? “He's been reviewing, right? How could he be eating with someone else?”   Ying Sisi spoke up for Qin Yanci. “He's not a bookworm. He doesn't just know how to stare at books all day.” Even though he does focus on his studies, she didn't want anyone to look down on him.   Not even his own mother.   Father Qin said, “Sisi's right. Yanci isn't a bookworm.” He picked up a peach and casually wiped it. He took a bite. It was sweet and crisp. He said, “Do you want a review?”   Ying Sisi said with a smile, “No.”   Mother Qin also came over to eat. “You can get peaches during this season. The purchasing manager at Su Mansion Restaurant is pretty capable.”   Father Qin said, “Do you know about Snow Peaches? They come out in winter. There might be some in the southern parts of our countryside. Maybe the purchasing manager bought them from some ...

  Chapter 43: Educated Youth Standard     When farmers invite pig slaughterers to slaughter pigs, they have to give them 2 yuan, plus two jin of meat and a few packs of cigarettes, and also treat them well with good food and drink. This is partly remuneration and partly "etiquette."   The more rural the area, the more importance is attached to this long-standing "etiquette." People look down on those who don't observe etiquette and are unwilling to associate with them.   Chen Fan came to teach how to slaughter soft-shelled turtles and cook soft-shelled turtles, which was a higher level of "skill transmission" than slaughtering pigs.   It was only because they had entered a new era, and the old feudal ways were no longer popular, and because Chen Fan was stranded here, that this kind of good thing would fall on his head. Otherwise, who would lightly pass on the skills to make a living?   Therefore, in this case, more importance should be attached to the...

  Chapter 123: Sweet Nothings       Qin Yanci felt guilty. How could I push my wife? “You pushed me into the wall too.”   “You said so.” Ying Sisi didn't hold back. She used all her strength. The next second, his back hit the wall with a soft thud. She said, “Even.”   Qin Yanci said, “It didn't hurt at all.”   Ying Sisi blinked, pretending to be worried. “What should we do then? I can't cut you with a knife. I can't do it. I would never want you to get hurt. Besides, I don't mind being pushed. Don't worry about it.”   Qin Yanci felt even more guilty. He solemnly promised, “Next time, I'll definitely control my emotions.”   “Okay. I believe you. I'll get you some peaches.” Ying Sisi proudly brought out a peach the size of a bowl from under the kitchen cabinet. She turned on the faucet and quickly rinsed it. She handed it to him. “Try it. It's delicious.”   “Did you eat any? How many did you pick? I don't want to eat it. Save it fo...

  Chapter 122: Even     Li Yuwei was in pain all over. “Wuwuwu…why didn't you say that he would hit people anyway?”   “Why wouldn't he hit me?”   “Would you dare to say that if he hit you?” Li Yuwei cried uncontrollably.   “He hasn't hit me before, what am I supposed to say?  You go.  I'll walk you out.”  Sisi went into the kitchen and turned off the vent on the stove.   Li Yuwei didn't dare to stay long. She put on her coat and limped out with Sisi.   When they got to the security gate.   Ying Sisi was about to go back. Li Yuwei said pitifully, “Aren't you going to see me off?”   Ying Sisi said, “Seeing you off to here is enough. Give me your pass.  Otherwise, I'll tell my mother-in-law that Qin Yanci hit you. She loves her son the most.  She'll blame you, regardless of whether or not it was your fault. She'll go and find your dad, and then it'll become a big deal.”   Li Yuwei dared not hide it anymore....

  Chapter 42: Return Gift     Chen Fan propped himself up with the dog-beating stick in his right hand and waved his left hand. "Hey, is this Team 5 of Lujiawan?"   The big yellow dog in the front was about to issue a warning when it heard the greeting. Instantly, its eyes went wide, and it instinctively "wooed" twice.   Chen Fan smiled happily. "It really is here. Luckily, I didn't go the wrong way. Can you help me call someone over, or you can take me there."   The big yellow dog tilted its head twice and suddenly turned to a certain position to his left. The dogs behind him were still staring at him intently, as if he had a flower on his face.   Chen Fan followed the big yellow dog's gaze and saw more than a dozen men standing in a row in the ditch not far away, with only their heads exposed, all staring at him intently.   Their expressions were like they were looking at a mental patient.   They had been working when they suddenly heard a ...

  Chapter 41: Dog-Beating Stick     After boiling water, washing his face, and wiping his body, much of the alcohol had dissipated.   It was just a pity that he was still wearing that set of pajamas, with a cotton-padded coat wrapped around him. He didn't know when the new clothes Captain Yang had promised would materialize. Until then, he could only keep wearing this outfit.   Everything else was fine, but not changing his underwear for a day always made him feel unclean and uncomfortable everywhere.   But there was nothing he could do but wait.   After a simple tidying up, Chen Fan prepared to go out.   Jiang Lili came over. "Don't you want to rest for a while?"   Chen Fan shook his head and smiled. "I went to bed early last night, and I'm not sleepy at all now. I might as well go early and come back early."   He didn't dare to light the kerosene lamp anymore. He had to wash up and go to bed before dark. Otherwise, after dark, if it wa...
