Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 78 Love Poems
"Well, this hair flower was also given to me by her."

Jiang Qiuna pointed to the flower on her head and smiled brightly.

She just felt that today was the happiest day of her life, and everything seemed so unreal, as if she was a dream.

Her hand subconsciously touched her pocket, where there was a letter from Wei Min. She didn't even have time to open it, but she thought it must be a good thing.

"I don't know where this brat learned all this. I kind of regret letting Qiu Na go and meet him."

Jiang Honggui felt a little jealous at this time. Seeing his daughter so happy, he felt like his own cabbage was being eaten by a pig.

"What are you talking about? Wei Min is interested in Qiu Na. It's not like we haven't asked around. Wei Min hasn't had any affair with other girls."

Jiang's mother glared at her old man. How could he talk like that on such a good day?

"I just said that, why are you in such a hurry?"

Jiang Honggui shrank his neck and made a sophistry argument, saying that the matter had not been decided yet and he was not even allowed to speak about it.

Jiang Qiuan ignored his parents' daily bickering. He watched his sister's little movements, rolled his eyes, and walked to his sister's side with a smile.

"Sister, did my brother-in-law say when we'll meet next time? I'll just stay away and watch him then."

"He said he would come over to our house tomorrow and said...Ah! Qiu An, give it back to me!"

Jiang Qiuna was halfway through her words when she felt a hand in her pocket. She then looked over and saw that the letter Wei Min had given her was already in Qiu An's hand. She immediately blushed and reached out to take it back.

"Sister, just let me take a look."

Jiang Qiuan quickly hid behind his mother, opened the envelope and took out the letter.

"Some feelings, once started, are hard to stop; some emotions, once attached, are forever; you were the unexpected person in my dream, and when I woke up, you were still there; I love you, like the wind that has traveled eight thousand miles without asking when it will return; all these are not enough, I will give you the romance and tenderness of the rest of my life."

As Jiang Qiuan read aloud, Jiang Qiuna's face became redder and redder, as red as if water was about to drip out. How could Qiuan read this out loud? It was so embarrassing.

If she was reading this by herself in bed, she would probably be rolling around happily on the bed by now. She really didn't expect that the letter Wei Min wrote to her would be a love poem.

"Hey, it's so sour."

Jiang Qiuan put the letter away and threw it to his sister with a look of disgust.

After Jiang Qiuan returned the letter to Jiang Qiuna, Jiang's mother grabbed Jiang Qiuan's ear and scolded him, "Qiuan, how could you read the letter your brother-in-law wrote to your sister? Have you forgotten what your mother taught you?"

"Mom~~~~ Don't you want to see it too? I definitely won't do it again in the future."

Jiang Qiuan begged for mercy with a smile. If his mother didn't want to watch, she would have stopped him long ago.

"Just spoil him. He is so disrespectful every day."

Jiang Honggui said unhappily, then turned to look at Jiang Qiuna and asked, "Qiuna, you just said that Wei Min will come to our house tomorrow?"

"Well, I like Wei Min, and Wei Min likes me, so I want to settle things quickly."

Jiang Qiuna nodded seriously, and the blush that had just faded away reappeared on her cheeks.

"It's better to settle it sooner rather than later, so that there won't be any trouble."

When Jiang Honggui heard Jiang Qiuna say this, he knew that his daughter was completely trapped, and he did not say the angry words like before.

Time is a bit urgent, but it's always better to settle it first.

"Qiu An, your brother-in-law is here, you better behave yourself. Clean up your room too."

Jiang's mother warned Jiang Qiuan, and then took the siblings to clean up the house. She had planned to go to the vegetable market tomorrow morning to buy a chicken and some meat. She had to prepare for her prospective son-in-law, so as not to be looked down upon.

The next morning, Zhou Weimin tidied up the space.

I put on the Zhongshan suit that my father had prepared for him for his wedding, took the three pounds of pigs and two hens, as well as the tea I had gotten from Wu Honggang before, and took the two bottles of Fenjiu that I bought at the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday.

After checking to make sure nothing was left out, he thought for a moment and grabbed a handful of candies that were still left in the cupboard, then pushed the cart out of the yard with a beaming smile.

Guard Zhou heard the noise and came out of the house. Seeing the things in the basket of his brother's car, he couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Brother, you're gone so early?"

As expected, the big brother did not lie to him. The things had been prepared long ago. However, no one knew where the big brother had hidden the live chicken. There was no movement at all.

"You have to go early the first time you visit, otherwise it will seem insincere. Wait for good news from me."

Zhou Weimin smiled, said no more, got on his bike and quickly disappeared around the corner of the alley.

Guard Zhou looked at the direction where his elder brother left, grinned wickedly and whispered, "Hey, elder brother is not always in a hurry. From now on, elder brother will finally have someone to look after him."

On the other side, Zhou Weimin had no idea what his brother was thinking, and he arrived at the gate of Jiang Qiuna's house with a smile on his face.

As soon as I pushed the cart into the yard, several middle-aged women who were washing at the door came to greet me.

"Hey, you are Wei Min, right? Why are you here in our courtyard today?"

"Wow, so many things. It seems that the daughter of the Jiang family went to see a bridal chamber yesterday. Could this be a visit to the house?"

"Aunts, I'm here to look for Jiang Qiuna. I don't know which house she lives in."

Zhou Weimin rummaged in his pocket and gave two candies to each aunt.

"Old Jiang, your Qiu Na's boyfriend is here!"

After taking two candies for free, the aunties smiled even more and started shouting at the top of their lungs towards the yard.

Soon, Jiang's mother came out with a smile.

"Hey, Wei Min is here, come in and sit down, why do you bring so many things?"

"Not much, just some food. Thank you, aunties. I'm leaving now."

Zhou Weimin waved his hand, said goodbye to a few aunts, pushed his bicycle to the window of Jiang's house, parked it, took the things in the basket and went into the house.

"This girl from the Jiang family has found a good man. The meat she had just now must have weighed at least two kilograms, and the two chickens were also very fat."

"He is a buyer for the steel mill. How could his family be short of things? I don't know how they got together. I heard that Zhou Weimin planned to find a wife in two years."

"Who says it's not true? Old Jiang will enjoy a good life in the future."

Several aunts looked at the Jiang family with envy, and started chatting in the yard, with no intention of leaving.

"Come on, let's eat something together."

Jiang Honggui was dressed particularly smartly today. When he saw his wife bringing Zhou Weimin back, he didn't even look at what he was holding in his hands, but asked Zhou Weimin to sit down in a serious manner.

"Okay, Uncle Jiang."

Zhou Weimin put his things down and sat down at the table somewhat stiffly.

He and Jiang Honggui were old acquaintances before, but today he didn't seem to be able to get along with each other as usual.
