She hadn't tasted this good thing yet. The wild fruits on the mountain were so sweet. "You are such a fool. You have been eating them secretly for several years, but you didn't even bring me two fruits."

The man waved his hands helplessly. It was unfair. It was indeed his first time to eat it this year. However, in order to smooth things over, he could only say that he had eaten it before.

Zheng looked around the yard and found no one else, so she took the basket and put it in Chen Qiqi's room. When she came out, she didn't see Chen Qiqi following her.

As if she could see their confusion, Zheng spoke directly, "This child has gone to play with her sisters. Don't worry about her. When she comes back, she will be so happy to get this fruit that she won't be able to sleep at night."

"I thought she was still training as a female worker?" Cui Yunzhu said casually.

"Let's not detain her for now. She won't be happy for long. We'll have to discuss marriage soon."

"Discussing marriage?"

Discussing marriage at the beginning of the new year? Cui Yunzhu was a little shocked when she heard it.

Zheng dotes on Chen Qiqi very much. Judging from her past behavior, she doesn't seem to want Chen Qiqi to get married early. Why did she suddenly change her mind?

Zheng was somewhat helpless. "She is not young anymore. Most people of her age in the village are married. Her good sisters are a few years younger than her, so they can stay at home."

"I used to let her be ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, which was really wrong."

When Zheng talked about Chen Qiqi, she seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

"Now that the matchmaker has found a suitable person, I want to ask her to take a look. With the current situation at home, it is better for her to get married than to stay at home."

"Otherwise, you see, she and Wang almost had a fight in the kitchen these past few days. I can't always keep her tied to her belt and watch her."

"The boss... hey, he's still lying down. If he gets better, Qiqi won't dare to leave the house anymore."

"She is old enough to be married. Just pick a good family."

Chen Yan thought this was a good thing. Just like his mother said, Chen Qiqi was old enough and it was time for her to get married. If she stayed at home, she might plot against her own wife someday.

He was afraid that if he got angry, he would do something uncontrollable.

If she gets married, she will consider their past relationship and if her new husband dares to bully her, she can just ask her second brother to bring him over to her house and deal with him.

After hearing what the third brother said, Zheng knew that he still cared about the relationship between brother and sister and would continue to support Chen Qiqi in the future. She was relieved and focused on choosing a family for her.

“Hey, no more words, you guys hurry up and deliver it to the second brother’s house, otherwise if Wang sees it later, or your father, I’m too lazy to argue with them.”

"Okay, let's go first."

Little Zheng's reaction when she saw the fruit was the same as Zheng's. She was afraid that she couldn't eat it. Chen Yan was very happy to demonstrate it to her again, and she got two cherries for free.

Only then did Xiao Zheng believe it. She tasted it first to make sure there was no reaction before she dared to pass it to Yaoyao.

"Do you want to eat?"

Yaoyao clapped her hands happily after eating it, "Mom, it's delicious, delicious, delicious!"

They were three delicious fruits in a row. Not only the children, but even little Zheng thought they were the most delicious fruits she had ever eaten!

"Then why don't you thank Third Aunt?"

"Thank you, Third Aunt." Yaoyao thanked in a baby voice.

After not seeing each other for six or seven days, Third Aunt brought herself some delicious food again. Yaoyao liked her even more and walked up to her and reached out for a hug.

Cui Yunzhu bent down and wanted to pick her up when she saw this, but the little girl gave her a wet kiss on the face and then quickly dodged away.

What a shy little girl.

"Your second brother went up the mountain to chop wood. He will be very happy to eat this fruit when he comes back."

"Sister-in-law, when my second brother comes back, ask him to come to see me in the middle of the night. I need his help with something." Chen Yan did not forget about this matter.

"Midnight?" Little Zheng asked in confusion, "What needs to be done in the middle of the night? Can't I ask him to come in the afternoon?"

"He's free this afternoon, so he won't interfere with your work."

Chen Yan suddenly walked to the door and looked, then turned back and lowered his voice, "Sister-in-law, this matter will take until midnight. You can ask my second brother to come and we will know everything. He is the only one I trust."

Seeing his cautious look and the tone of her brother-in-law, Xiao Zheng knew that this was a serious matter.

Afraid of delaying him, I agreed quickly.

.........

In the middle of the night, Chen Ping knocked on the door gently.

After the first knock, the door suddenly opened from the inside. He was shocked by the speed. It was pitch black and it seemed that the third brother was guarding behind the door.

It’s not a big deal, why does he have to be so cautious?

As soon as he entered the room, he found that the third brother and his wife were still awake, as if they were waiting for him.

When Chen Yan saw Chen Ping coming, he asked Cui Yunzhu to stay at home and took Chen Ping to the village entrance. No matter what Chen Ping asked along the way, Chen Yan refused to say anything.

It was pitch black and there was no one around. Only the occasional barking of dogs could be heard in the village.

The third brother also said nothing, which made Chen Ping feel uneasy. He was a little afraid that his younger brother might have been possessed by some dirty thing.

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. He prepared to knock him out from behind with a knife and then carry him back.

Chen Yan knew his second brother's actions very well, so he grabbed Chen Ping's arm and said, "Second brother, what are you doing?"

Chen Ping saw that the truth had been revealed, and he said guiltily, "No, I didn't do anything."

"Do you think I'm weird? You'll know when we get there."

"Row!"

Chen Ping agreed readily. He could even press his own hand back, so he thought there should be no problem.

As long as he doesn’t die, it’s fine. He silently encouraged himself in his heart.

If Chen Yan knew that his mysteriousness scared his second brother so much, he would laugh for a long time.

When they reached the entrance of the village, he led Chen Ping forward a little further. After a while, they arrived at a small path with tall weeds on both sides.

He suddenly stopped, squatted down, groped around, and pulled out a sack of something from the haystack.

Chen Ping went over to take a look out of curiosity. Chen Yan opened the sack and grabbed a handful. The sack was actually filled with whole grains!

Oh, what did he think it was? It turned out they were asking him to come out and move some food. Was it necessary to be so sneaky?

He nudged Chen Yan with his hand and told him what was in his heart, but the third brother was still staring into the bushes without moving. He followed his gaze.

Mom!

This, this is not just one sack, these are clearly more than a dozen sacks!

A sack weighs 200 kilograms, so wouldn’t a dozen sacks weigh more than 2000 kilograms?

How many years will it take for the couple to finish eating it?

He was shocked and asked, "Why are you hoarding so much food?"

Chen Yan and Cui Yunzhu had discussed this matter long ago in bed, thinking of giving Chen Ping and the others a push.

Otherwise, no matter what he said, Chen Ping would not realize the seriousness of the matter and would not see how important they both attached to food.
