Relieved, Wang Guihua immediately began to blame herself again, and couldn't help but say to Lin Chunying beside her, "Chunying, although our family is poor, don't worry, I will definitely make up for the 20 yuan dowry I owe Qingqing after the autumn harvest. I will definitely not fail to do so."
Lin Chunying was taken aback and subconsciously looked in her daughter's direction.
Qiao zhiqing :"..."
She immediately lowered her head guiltily, pretending to be an ostrich with Qin Huai.
She never expected her mother-in-law to bring up the bride price in front of her parents! Seeing that her lie had been exposed so quickly, she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Seeing her daughter's reaction, Lin Chunying made up her mind.
She immediately shifted her gaze to her husband beside her.
Qiao Weiguo had already seen all of this. Neither he nor his wife were petty people.
Seeing that their daughter was still putting on an act, they felt helpless and immediately said, "Why do we need to make up for it? We know each other well. We know that you will definitely not mistreat our daughter after she marries into your family. There's no need to make up for the dowry."
Wang Guihua is a serious person, and immediately said, "No way, let's keep things separate. I promised Qingqing I would make it up to her, and I will."
Lin Chunying said, "No need, as long as the two children are doing well, the bride price is not important."
Wang Guihua's eyes welled up with tears again when she saw that she had such good in-laws.
Although she was determined to make up for the bride price with her daughter-in-law, she didn't continue arguing at the dinner table. Instead, she sighed and said, "I never thought that Qin Huai would be so lucky. Huai'er, you must treat Qingqing's parents as your own parents in the future, understand?"
Qin Huai looked up and met Wang Guihua's expectant gaze. He nodded solemnly, "I understand, son will."
He had already told himself that he would have two sets of parents from now on, and he would treat them equally.
Seeing that Wang Guihua had given her instructions, Lin Chunying immediately looked at Qiao zhiqing and said, "Qingqing ,you must also be filial to your parents-in-law in the future, understand?"
"Mother, you don't need to tell me, I will be filial." Qiao Qingqing raised her head with a smile.
Wang Guihua was happy to see her smile, so she immediately put the fish eye into her bowl, saying, "Eat more, eating fish eyeballs is very nutritious."
"Thank you, Mother!"
Qiao zhiqing has loved eating fish eyes since she was a child, and she had just secretly eaten one. When she saw that Wang Guihua had noticed, she was incredibly touched.
Although she had traveled from another time, she felt incredibly happy seeing the two families living in harmony and happiness.
So much so that he was smiling the whole way back.
Qin Huai glanced at her several times, and seeing how happy she was, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so happy?"
Qiao Qingqing turned her head and met his curious gaze, and immediately asked, "Aren't you happy?"
When asked the question in return, Qin Huai looked into those big, watery eyes and nodded subconsciously, "Happy!"
Today is the happiest day of his life.
He had never been so happy!
The thought that he would have a wife and parents from now on, and that his wife and parents were all wonderful people, made him incredibly happy.
Qiao Qingqing suddenly leaned closer and asked, "Then why are you so happy?"
Qin Huai: "...
He was thinking that he would be happy to marry her.
But Qin Huai just couldn't bring himself to say those words.
Stared at by Qiao Qingqing ,he instantly blushed deeply, "I, I..."
Qiao Qingqing suddenly sniffed.
I could smell a faint aroma of wine.
Remembering how Qiao Weiguo had forced him to drink half a bowl of baijiu at the dinner table, Qiao Qingqing stared at the man's lips.
For some reason, even though she hadn't been drinking, she suddenly felt a little dizzy, as if she were drunk.
"Do you... want to kiss me?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she suddenly saw the man in front of her take two steps back.
Qin Huai felt an intense heat rising within him as she stared at him with her fiery gaze. The already high summer temperature made him feel even more burning up.
After creating some distance, I was finally able to breathe more easily.
"Am I a monster?" Qiao zhiqing was furious when she saw how afraid the man was of her. She put her hands on her hips and puffed out her cheeks.
Seeing that she was angry, Qin Huai quickly explained, "No, I'm just... a little hot."
Pooh!
Excuse!
Qiao zhiqing gritted her teeth in anger.
But when I thought about how I wasn't feeling well, and how even if I teased him, I would only end up feeling bad, I suddenly felt discouraged.
She turned around angrily, about to leave, but suddenly stopped.
She turned her head, glanced at the man who was about to catch up, and said softly, "My feet are sore from walking around town today, can you carry me back?"
Qin Huai was taken aback.
Meeting those watery eyes, he immediately stepped forward and half-squatted down in front of Qiao zhiqing, saying, "Come up."
Qiao zhiqing immediately stretched out her arms and hugged the man's neck with a happy smile, then squeezed her legs up.
Noticing the stiffening of her back beneath her, Qiao zhiqing smiled smugly.
The next second, Qin Huai picked her up and carried her steadily forward.
The man's back was broad and sturdy, and lying on it made one feel particularly safe and secure.
Qiao zhiqing rested her head on the man's shoulder and suddenly felt that it would be nice if time could stop at this moment and Qin Huai could carry her on his back forever.
Of course, this depends on whether Qin Huai is willing.
Thinking about it, Qiao zhiqing asked, "Qin Huai, are you willing to keep carrying me like this forever?"
Qin Huai had no idea what she was thinking.
He thought she was asking if he would still be willing to carry her when they got old.
His eyes flickered for a moment, then he said without hesitation, "I'm willing."
As he finished speaking, his thoughts suddenly drifted back to his childhood.
We were all kids who grew up in the same village, so we naturally played together when we were little.
He recalled that once he was playing house with some other children.
Qiao zhiqing was naturally chosen as the bride because of her good looks.
Originally, another boy was chosen as the groom, but because Qiao zhiqing wanted him to carry her on his back, the boy was too weak to carry her and dropped her.
The beautifully sculpted girl looked at her bruised knee and sat on the ground, crying her heart out.
Qin Huai watched this scene from the side, and his heart ached inexplicably.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. His younger brother had fallen much more badly, but he still said, "What's wrong with a man? It's just a little scrape. What with the crying? You're so pathetic!"But then he mustered his courage and stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "Don't cry, I'm strong, I'll carry you."
Qiao zhiqing stopped crying, slowly raised her head, and looked very suspicious: "Can you carry me? You won't drop me again, will you?"
Sunlight streamed down from above, illuminating the boy's dark skin.
He heard his own voice, unusually firm:
"No."
And then, he actually did it.
He carried Qiao zhiqing all the way home, and Lin Chunying praised him, saying, "Qin Huai is really amazing!"
Qin Huai's gaze fell on Qiao zhiqing's face, where she was already crying again in Lin Chunying's arms, looking aggrieved.
At that moment, he really wanted to hear Qiao zhiqing say, "Next time we play house, will you still be willing to carry me on your back?"
He would definitely say without hesitation, "Yes!"
