"Mom, don't worry about the bride price for this blind date. Whatever they're willing to give is fine!"

After waiting for so long, Qin Meiru finally had a chance to go on a blind date with a city guy, and she didn't want her mother to ruin it again.

Shi Zhenxiang stammered, "Well... I just wanted to leave some money for your younger brother so he can use it when he gets married!"

"I don't care how he gets married! If this blind date doesn't work out, he probably won't have another chance to go to the city!" Qin Meiru didn't care how her younger brother got married when he grew up.

In her opinion, her younger brother was so spoiled by their parents that he was useless and couldn't lift a finger. Even with a dowry, no one would want to marry into the Qin family.

It would be better to settle down in the city peacefully. If you have surplus food later, it would be reasonable to help others out of consideration for our shared motherhood.

"This..." Shi Zhenxiang originally planned to raise the bride price high if the young man from the city was really willing to marry her daughter.

After all, she had heard that the bride price in the city was several times that in the countryside, so even if she asked for a higher price, it would be considered normal by city people.

But when she heard her daughter say that she was afraid of scaring away potential partners, she thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. If the bride price was too high and she scared away potential partners in the city, her daughter would really have a hard time finding a better partner.

Let's talk about everything after our daughter actually marries someone from the city.

I've heard that everyone in the city is rolling in money. When the time comes, even a little bit of money left over from your in-laws' pockets will be enough for your family to eat.

"Fine! I agree. As for the bride price, let the in-laws decide for themselves; I won't interfere!"

Shi Zhenxiang was overjoyed that her daughter had successfully found a partner today, and she immediately started calling them in-laws.

"Hmm, that's more like it. As long as you don't hold me back, Lü Jiawei will definitely be more than willing to marry me." Qin Meiru was very confident in her appearance.

Qin Jianren grinned broadly: "Great! Finally, our family will have someone from the city!"

……

Just as the Qin family was daydreaming, Old Zeng and Lei Guohong were earnestly advising Lü Jiawei to be cautious about this marriage.

"Master, Uncle Lei, I understand. I definitely need to get to the bottom of this. If it doesn't work out, then this marriage is off!"

"That's right! We're all young men, we're not afraid of not finding wives!"

Chang Kun smiled and asked, "Does the Qin family still want to go to the city?"

If he didn't know, that would be one thing, but now that he does, he's definitely going to break them up.

After chatting for a while, Chang Kun said goodbye and left, taking Cheng Minxiu with him to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy mosquito repellent such as cooling oil.

I've almost finished packing everything I need for my trip to the south, and I can only leave in a couple of days.

Back home, Chang Kun and Cheng Min prepared lunch, while Xiu'er went to teach the myna bird to talk.

Hearing from her older brother that the myna bird could sing opera, Xiu'er decided to teach it to sing opera when her older brother and Sister Xiaomin returned, giving them a big surprise.

When Liu Meifen returned home at noon, she saw her son and daughter-in-law preparing lunch and smiled with satisfaction.

With such a thoughtful son and a virtuous daughter-in-law, life is truly wonderful.

"Let me do it, you two go and rest for a while." She took the firewood from Cheng Min's hand and continued to put it into the stove.

"Mom, neither of us has done anything, so we don't have much to rest. On the contrary, you are busy and tired at work. You can just sit at home and wait for your meal."

Hearing her daughter-in-law's thoughtful words, Liu Meifen smiled broadly: "You two work so hard every day, take good care of yourselves. When you go out in a couple of days, your mother won't be there to help you."

A blush rose to Cheng Min's cheeks. The young couple worked hard every day, and these words made her blush.

Chang Kun always did the hard work; I didn't contribute much myself.

She snatched the spatula from Chang Kun's hand and pushed him out of the kitchen: "Go play with Xiu'er, it's enough for me and Mom here."

Chang Kun chuckled to himself. He didn't think he was working hard every night; every young couple goes through the same thing.

Xiao Xiu'er continued to use candy to lure the myna bird into talking. Chang Kun thought for a moment, then picked up a bamboo pole and knocked down all the caterpillars that had sensed the persimmon and jujube trees.

"Xiuer, when I'm not home, use this to feed the myna bird, don't give it candy."

Xiuer tilted her head to look at the colorful caterpillars, then picked one up with her little hand: "Big brother, I remember these caterpillars are cooked on a hot stone slab, and they taste crispy and fragrant. Do mynahs like to eat them cooked too?"

Chang Kun had caught caterpillars twice before and fed them to his younger sister. Among the girls, Xiu'er was the one who ate them with great relish, not at all afraid of the strange shapes of the caterpillars.

"Mynahs like to eat live things, so be careful, you can only touch the caterpillars with the pads of your fingers."

"I know, if a caterpillar touches the back of your hand, it stings terribly!" He pinched the wriggling caterpillar and brought it to the myna's mouth.

"Little myna, time to eat! After you finish eating, you'd better practice talking properly, or you'll be made to stand against the wall!"

After playing with the myna bird with Xiu'er for a while, the family had lunch, and Liu Meifen went back to work at the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Xiuer, it's bedtime."

Every day at noon, getting my little girl to sleep is a huge challenge.

Children this age should take a nap at noon, but this girl has so much energy that sometimes Chang Kun can lull her to sleep, but she won't.

"Big brother, I'm not going to sleep! I still want to continue being the myna's teacher!"

"Good boy! If you behave, when your big brother comes back, he'll bring you something really fun, even more fun than a myna bird!"

Xiuer pouted, "You're trying to fool the kids again! The myna is the most fun!"

"You want to sleep but the myna bird doesn't? Come inside, Sister Xiaomin will tell you a story."

Cheng Min raised her eyebrows slightly: "You're really something, you can't even coax Xiao Xiu'er yourself, so you just dump her on me."

"Hehe, who told you to be the eldest sister-in-law, to be her sister-in-law Xiaomin..."

After watching the two enter the room, Chang Kun took a walk around the courtyard.

The fishpond hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and it was filled with fallen leaves and grass stalks. The corner where the little donkey was located was also a bit dirty, and the rainwater falling from the courtyard had grown a layer of moss.

Chang Kun was about to leave home in a couple of days, and not only his parents and younger sisters were reluctant to part with him, but he also couldn't bear to leave his family behind.

Use the space to clean up all the areas in the yard that needed tidying.

I have to say, having space makes housework much easier; I don't have to do it myself at all.

After he finished tidying up the yard, Cheng Min had just put Xiu'er to sleep and walked into the yard.

"Wow, Teacher Cheng is quite skilled! It's rare to see Xiao Xiu'er so well-behaved during her afternoon nap."

Cheng Min smiled and said, "Xiao Xiu'er is easy to coax, you just spoil her too much."

Xiuer was asleep, leaving only Chang Kun and Cheng Min at home.

Looking at his wife's slender figure, Chang Kun leaned closer and breathed into Cheng Min's ear: "You say I spoil Xiu'er, so how about I spoil you a little more?"

"No way! It's broad daylight!" Cheng Min crossed her arms and assumed a defensive stance.

"My dear teacher Cheng, this isn't up to you..."

Holding his wife in his arms, ignoring her screams and cries, Chang Kun kicked open the door.
