Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 259 I Don't Want to Wait Anymore
After taking a shower, Tao Qiuyi rushed back to the room she shared with Lizi, just like always.

She had just stepped into the house and sat down on the stool by the fireplace when Wei Jingyuan stepped across the threshold and walked in.

Hearing footsteps, Tao Qiuyi looked up at him but didn't say anything.

Seeing her with her long hair loose, sitting by the fireplace, Wei Jingyuan casually took the towel hanging behind the door. He walked behind Tao Qiuyi and naturally used the towel to dry her wet hair.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing her head down and not speaking, Wei Jingyuan helped her dry her hair while talking to her.

Tao Qiuyi replied in a lazy voice, "I was thinking that Qiusi is used to living alone in the mountains. Now that she's moved to a different place, she has to face so many people."

"Will you feel uncomfortable? Will you feel lost? Will you feel scared?"

Upon hearing her answer, Wei Jingyuan paused, then asked gently, "If he can't adapt to life down in the mountains and feels lost and afraid, would you send him back to the mountains?"

“No.” Tao Qiuyi answered without hesitation. “Humans are social animals. It’s not good for his physical and mental health to always live alone. I don’t know how he ended up in the deep mountains. Now that he’s come down the mountain with us, he can forget about going back.”

Tao Qiuyi is the kind of person who either doesn't care and then doesn't care, or if she does care, she'll see it through to the end.

The last sentence was quite forceful, and Wei Jingyuan smiled. He said meaningfully, "Then you don't need to worry, I think he's adapting very well."

"Hmm?" Tao Qiuyi didn't turn around to look at Wei Jingyuan, and asked in confusion, "How did you figure that out?"

He only brought Qiu Si back not long ago, how could he tell that Qiu Si was adapting well?
He wrapped her long hair in a towel and gently wiped it down. Wei Jingyuan said, "He got along very well with Lizi and Xiaohuai, and the three of them chatted happily while working in the kitchen."

"Really?" Tao Qiuyi was somewhat surprised and turned to look at Wei Jingyuan.

“Of course it’s true.” Wei Jingyuan stopped drying his hair and put a hand on Tao Qiuyi’s shoulder. “There’s no need to worry about whether Qiusi can adapt. So far, he seems to be adapting very well.”

"Moreover, I instructed Pear and Little Locust to do their best to help Qiu Si adapt to communal living."

It turned out he had everything planned out. Tao Qiuyi's eyes shone as she looked at Wei Jingyuan.

The surprise came so suddenly that Tao Qiuyi abruptly stood up and kissed Wei Jingyuan on his angular face. She said happily, "Wei Jingyuan, thank you."

Thank you for being so understanding. He quietly solved the problem she hadn't even thought of.

After kissing him, Tao Qiuyi lowered her head awkwardly.

The soft, warm touch on his cheek was fleeting, yet Wei Jingyuan's heart pounded for a long time.

He gently stroked her silky long hair with his large hand, unable to tear himself away. After a moment, Wei Jingyuan calmed himself down and said in a deep voice, "Let's go to the county to get our marriage certificate tomorrow."

"What?" Tao Qiuyi was taken aback. The two of them were clearly talking about Qiu Si, so how did they suddenly jump to getting their marriage certificate in the county tomorrow?
His long, slender hand gently lifted her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye. Wei Jingyuan said, "Qiuqiu, I don't want to wait anymore."

With her chin held in his hand, Tao Qiuyi could only look up at him, watching his handsome face gradually approach, and closer and closer...

"Brother Yuan, is Brother Yuan home?" came a voice calling from the courtyard gate.

The sudden call startled Tao Qiuyi, who guiltily turned her face away. Wei Jingyuan's thin lips landed on her fair and delicate cheek.

The two men had different expressions. Wei Jingyuan was very dissatisfied, and Tao Qiuyi reached out and pushed against his firm chest, reminding him, "Someone is calling you."

"Ignore it." Wei Jingyuan's deep voice was slightly hoarse as he tightened his grip on her chin. He didn't give her a chance to escape, lowering his head to steal her breath.

He meant what he said he would ignore, and Wei Jingyuan meant it. The calls continued, "Brother Yuan..."

Pear and Little Locust, who were in the kitchen, heard the noise and went out to investigate.

Upon seeing that the visitors were her two cousins ​​from her third grandfather's family, Pear greeted them first, "Hello, fourth cousin, hello, seventh cousin."

"Are you two cousins ​​here to see my eldest brother? What's the matter?" Xiao Huai asked directly, his voice neither humble nor arrogant, calm and even, revealing a faint sense of detachment.

He hadn't forgotten that it was these same two cousins ​​who had carried his eldest brother to his third grandfather's house last time, despite his brother's injuries.

When his sister-in-law returned and learned of this, she went to his third grandfather's house and beat up everyone, including his two cousins. His silence doesn't mean he's forgotten about it.

Judging from the twins' indifferent attitude, the fourth and seventh cousins ​​knew that their younger cousin and younger cousin were still angry about what happened last time.

"Little Pear, Little Locust." Fourth Cousin Cancan touched his nose and explained his purpose, "It's like this, Cousin Yuan went into the mountains today and brought back a wild boar."

"The old Party Secretary has led everyone to clean up the wild boar. Let us call Brother Yuan to watch over the distribution of the wild boar meat."

By the end, the fourth cousin's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

He had overheard villagers talking about how his cousin Yuan's leg had healed, but he was still skeptical. Everyone knew Yuan's leg had been lame for two years, and they all knew it wouldn't get better.

To everyone's surprise, after visiting the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor at the Second Brigade twice, his leg was cured.

"Yes, we're here to call Brother Yuan to oversee the distribution of wild boar meat," Seventh Brother chimed in with a smile.

Today, he was at home when his friends from the village came over and said they had seen his cousin, Yuan, carrying a wild boar back with their own eyes. He didn't believe it, so his friends dragged him over to see how the wild boar was handled.

The wild boar was so big and fat that he and his partner couldn't lift it, but Yuan Tang carried it back on his back by himself.

Yuan Tang's limp has truly healed.

Pear and Little Locust stared blankly at their two cousins, not understanding what they were saying.

“Hunt...hunt wild boar, share...share the wild boar meat…” Pear stammered, unable to finish a sentence.

Xiao Huai frowned. He didn't doubt what his two cousins ​​said, but he was a little confused. Why didn't his older brother and sister-in-law tell him and Li Zi about hunting a wild boar when they came back?

Qiu Si didn't say anything.

Seeing the twins' expressions, the fourth cousin asked in bewilderment, "Xiao Li, Xiao Huai, don't you know that Brother Yuan hunted a wild boar?"

“We…” Pear was about to answer when Wei Jingyuan’s voice came, “You two go back and tell the old Party Secretary that he can decide how to divide the wild boar meat. I won’t go. Thank you for your hard work, Old Party Secretary and everyone.”

"Brother Yuan..." Seventh cousin wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Wei Jingyuan's unfriendly expression, he decisively shut up.

"I'm really not going," Wei Jingyuan said. "I think it's because I carried the wild boar too far today. I need to soak my feet later."

Since Yuan Tang had already said he wanted to soak his feet, they couldn't persuade him any further. The two could only say, "Alright, Yuan Tang, you've worked hard today. You should rest well. We won't bother you any longer."

"Okay, take care." Wei Jingyuan nodded, his gaze turning to Xiao Huai.
