Chapter 317 317. Going out to propose marriage

   At the same time, Li Qingyin's family in Xujia Village also woke up.

  Xu Wenlin's injury is no longer a serious problem, but her heart still hurts, but it is no longer a problem.

  As soon as the siblings got up, they went to the foot of the mountain to pick zong leaves. They thought fresh zong leaves were better, so they went to pick them early in the morning.

  The zongye forest grows along the foot of the mountain. It is a very large area, about one mu of land. They pick one-tenth of it every day, and fertilize it immediately after picking, so they come down in turns and can keep picking.

  Brothers and sisters each picked a basket and returned home, just as Li Qingyin was making breakfast.

  Xu Wenlin called out sweetly as soon as she entered the house, "Mother..."

  Li Qingyin's voice came from the kitchen, "Wash your hands and eat."

  Xu Wenlin responded, "Okay, mother."

  Eat white porridge, buns, eggs, and small pickles for breakfast. Their breakfast is the most sumptuous in the whole village.

  Li Qingyin loves children as much as Li Qingyu. Now that she has money, she feeds the children well, and they are growing up.

  The mother and son sat around the table and started eating. After they ate, Li Qingyin went to feed that person.

  Li Qingyin said, "In a while, you all go to deliver zong leaves to my cousin's house. I'll go to the county to buy ducklings. Don't worry if I don't see you when I come back."

  The pond has been tidied up, and a small shed has been built to shelter the ducks from wind and rain.

  The two children nodded.

  Xu Songnian swallowed the bun and said, "Mom, my thirteenth birthday is three days away, shall we invite my cousin's family to dinner?"

  Li Qingyin agreed immediately. The third sister's family has helped them so much, and they should really thank them, "Mother will buy you a few tables at that time."

  Xu Songnian laughed, "Thank you, mother."

  Li Qingyin touched her son's head, her eyes filled with love.

  After dinner, Xu Songnian and Xu Wenlin set off for Chujia Village with zong leaves on their backs.

  …

   When Xu Songnian and Xu Wenlin arrived, Chu Qingzhi's family was eating.

  Li Qingyu greeted the two children distressedly, "Song Nian, Wen Lin, come and eat quickly."

  Xu Songnian shook his head, "Third Aunt, we came here after eating."

  Li Qingyu knew that Xu Songnian was stubborn and had strong self-esteem, so she stopped shouting, turned around and gave them a deep-fried dough stick, "Eat it, and the third aunt will call you Zongye later."

  Xu Songnian smiled and took the deep-fried dough sticks into his hand. It smelled so good, he swallowed, "Thank you, Third Aunt."

  Li Qingyu loved the two children, "Be good."

  Xu Songnian ate deep-fried dough sticks and went to an aunt’s house in the village to milk the goats, and then fed them to three little wolf cubs.

  He would come to feed him every day, and the fifth cousin told him that the wolves would recognize him after he fed the older ones, so he was responsible for three meals a day for the three little wolf cubs.

   It is about a stick of incense from Xujia Village to Chujia Village. If he uses running, it will only take a cup of tea, which is very fast.

  After feeding the wolf cubs, Li Qingyu also weighed the zong leaves for them, as usual, Xu Songnian had 10 catties of zong leaves for fifty Wen, and Xu Wenlin had five catties for twenty-five Wen.

  With so much money every day, Xu Songnian can save 125 yuan a month, and Xu Wenlin can save 750 Wen, which makes him a little rich man in the village.

  Xu Songnian put the money away, and said with a smile, "Third Aunt, my birthday is three days away, and my mother said I would like to invite your family to dinner."

  When Li Qingyu heard this, he remembered that Xu Songnian's birthday was coming, "I blame Third Aunt, I almost forgot, you go back and tell your mother that we will definitely come when the time comes."

  Xu Songnian nodded happily, "Yes."

  …

  Village entrance.

  Chu Qingzhi's family sent Ning Yuting and Grandpa Ning to the entrance of the village.

  Ning Yuting helped Grandpa Ning into the carriage, then turned around and said to everyone, "Grandpa, grandma, uncle Chu, aunt, brother, sister, brother, we will go back first."

  Grandpa Chu said with some reluctance, "Be careful on the road, eat the dry food prepared for you, don't starve."

  Grandpa Ning lifted the curtain and said with a smile, "Brother, we know."

  Ning Yuting looked at Chu Qingyue with affection in his eyes, "I will pick you up on the tenth day of September, and I will prepare everything. You don't have to worry about anything."

  Chu Qingyue slightly lowered her head shyly.

  Grandpa Chu smiled and said, "Yu Ting, we know, you and your grandfather are careful on the road, and write to us if you have something to do."

  Ning Yuting responded one by one, and then said to Chu Qingyue, "You go to the county with us, I just have something to tell you."

  Chu Qingyue nodded.

  The carriage moved forward slowly...

  In the carriage, Ning Yuting no longer cared about his grandfather being here, and took Chu Qingyue's hand, "After I go back, arrange someone to come and protect you."

  Chu Qingyue felt that she was not that precious and didn't need protection, so she immediately refused, "No, no one will come to hurt me."

   Ning Yuting said with some concerns, "I'm afraid Luo Yinhuan will."

  Chu Qingyue shook her head and said, "I've reconciled with her, it's strange to say that she came to apologize to me."

  Ning Yuting didn't tell Chu Qingyue that he went to find Luo Yinhuan. It's right to take care of his fiancée. There's no need to say everything, "She should have apologized, and her conscience should have discovered it."

   "Probably, let's not talk about her." Chu Qingyue didn't like Luo Yinhuan, and didn't want to mention her at all.

   "Okay, let's not talk about her, but Qingyue, you really don't want her?"

  Chu Qingyue nodded straight, hoping to dispel Ning Yuting's thoughts immediately, "Yu Ting, this is too different, I will feel very uncomfortable."

   Qingyue's mood is more important, Ning Yuting compromised, "Then protect yourself and wait for me to marry you."

  Chu Qingyue stretched out her hand and pinched Ning Yuting lightly, and said softly, "Grandpa is still here."

  Grandpa Ning closed his eyes and meditated, trying to narrow his sense of existence. He was happy that his grandson and grandson-in-law had a good relationship.

   "Grandpa is not in the way." Ning Yuting intertwined his fingers with Chu Qingyue reluctantly, wishing that time would pass faster and marry Qingyue back home earlier.

  Chu Qingyue was also very reluctant, she leaned her head lightly on Ning Yuting's shoulder, leaving behind good memories, and for the next period of time, she will rely on these memories to survive.

  …

  Eight seventeen or eighteen-year-old strong boys from the village came to Li Qingyu's house in a hurry.

  Chu Tianfeng raised his voice, "Auntie, we are all ready."

   Li Qingyu and the others were counting the dowry gifts at home. Hearing this, Li Qingyu hurried out and distributed eight red cloths to eight people, "You tie the red cloths around your waist, and tie them well."

   These eight strong young men were specially recruited by Li Qingyu to carry the dowry.

   "Okay." Chu Tianfeng took the red cloth strips and tied them one by one. Li Qingyu saw that the ones were not tied properly, so she had to make some adjustments. She attached great importance to the eldest son's marriage.

  Li Qingyu waved to several people, "Come in with me, and the two of you will lift it up."

  The eight people followed Li Qingyu into the house, and as soon as they entered, they were dazzled by the four red betrothal boxes, and secretly said, the aunt's family is too rich.

   Red silk flowers are tied on the betrothal box, which is very festive when you see it.

   Lifting the dowry box, the family set off.

  As soon as they went out, they immediately became the most beautiful scenery in the village.
