Having finally managed to fool Xiao Xiuer, Chang Kun and Cheng Min wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and breathed a sigh of relief.

Living in a room that isn't soundproof is so inconvenient...

Chang Kun couldn't help but think that next time he should prepare a towel so that when Cheng Min wanted to scream, she could bite on the towel to endure it.

The young couple were inseparable, and Cheng Min could tell at a glance that Chang Kun was thinking of something else when he looked thoughtful.

She gritted her teeth and whispered in Chang Kun's ear, "Don't even think about doing this with me in broad daylight again!!"

Chang Kun nodded: "Alright, then we'll just have to come more often tonight."

"Hey! That's not what I meant!" Cheng Min stomped her foot, ignoring Chang Kun's flirtatious words.

"Xiuer, come on, big brother will take you to find big sister and Xiaobao to play."

Xiuer jumped up happily: "Let's go play with Big Sister! I don't want to play with Xiaobao, he just cries and can't say a word! He's not even as good as the little myna!"

Chang Kun couldn't help but flick her forehead: "When you were Xiao Bao's age, you couldn't even talk yet, and you still have the nerve to complain about Xiao Bao?"

"Really? I don't remember!"

Xiuer shook her head, skipped out of the courtyard gate, and waved back, "Big brother, Sister Xiaomin, come quickly!"

The eldest sister, Changmei, sat on the bed, holding a large handful of reed leaves and weaving a straw hat.

"Big sister, why are you weaving straw hats? We don't have to do farm work in the fields anymore, and it's almost autumn, the weather is getting cooler."

Chang Mei smiled, beckoned Chang Kun to sit down, and put the straw hat she had woven on his head.

"You and Xiaomin are going to the south, right? I heard it's quite hot there. I made straw hats for you both to wear, so they can block out the sun a little."

"Hehe, my eldest sister is so thoughtful!" Chang Kun enjoyed his eldest sister's kindness.

Whether in past or present life, among the sisters, the eldest sister has always been the gentlest and has given the most to Chang Kun.

"And this, I sewed ten pieces on. You and Xiaomin can take these to wipe your sweat."

Chang Mei took out another stack of handkerchiefs from the side. Five of the handkerchiefs had the word "Peace" sewn on them, and the other five had the word "Smooth Sailing" sewn on them.

The words on the handkerchief, stitched so meticulously, show just how much care the older sister put into them.

I told my parents I was going to the south for only two days, and my eldest sister sewed a handkerchief and wove a straw hat.

Chang Kun touched the words sewn on the handkerchief, glanced at the bloodshot eyes of his older sister, and smiled gently: "I really didn't bring this. Your handiwork is really good, sister."

The siblings don't need to say thank you; they keep their feelings for each other in their hearts.

"Xiao Kun, you must be vigilant when you're out and about, and take good care of Xiao Min."

"Oh, I know, sis!"

Xiuer picked up the straw hat her older sister had woven, found it interesting, and pulled Changmei's hand: "Big sister, how did you weave this? Teach me!"

"You still want to learn this?" Chang Mei shook her head and chuckled. "Do you remember? Back in our hometown, I picked a lot of foxtail grass and made it into wreaths for you all to wear on your heads."

Xiuer nodded her little head: "Mmm, I remember! That one was pretty too, but not as nice as this straw hat!"

"I've taught you how to make a wreath out of foxtail grass more than ten times and you still can't learn it. And you want to learn how to make a straw hat?"

Hearing this, Xiu'er felt a little dejected and lowered her head: "Sigh! It seems I'm just as stupid as Xiao Bao. He can't learn to talk, and I can't learn to make flower wreaths..."

Chang Kun and the others laughed. This little girl only liked to eat and play. She was always half-hearted and had no patience when it came to learning.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Bao woke up, grinned, and started crying loudly.

"See? I told you Xiao Bao would cry when he woke up!" Xiu'er lay down next to Xiao Bao, looking at his chubby little face. The more she looked at it, the more adorable he became, and she couldn't help but lean in and give him a quick kiss.

"Isn't Xiao Bao cute?"

"Mmm, Xiao Bao is only cute when he's not crying or fussing." Xiu'er picked up Xiao Bao's chubby little hand, tapped the dimple on the back of his hand, and giggled.

Chang Mei picked up Xiao Bao and walked back and forth on the ground, lifting her clothes to breastfeed the little guy.

Cheng Min watched intently from the side, her eyes wide open, gesturing with her hands to show her astonishment.

"Big sister, how long can a baby stay breastfed?"

"Feed as long as you can, as long as you have milk, feed the baby. It saves a lot of food... I've heard that babies are best fed by their mothers' milk, and that it will make them grow strong and healthy."

"So, does that mean you can breastfeed until the child is two or three years old?"

Chang Mei nodded: "Of course, after he's over a year old, while we're still breastfeeding, we can give him some rice porridge or something... I never knew raising a child was so difficult!"

Cheng Min blinked and swallowed.

She had heard that childbirth was extremely painful, which made her a little uneasy. Now, after hearing her older sister say that raising a child is difficult, she felt even more anxious.

Seeing her like this, Chang Kun knew his wife was scared, so he went up and put his arm around her shoulder.

"Don't worry, I have my mother, my older sister, my aunt, and so many younger sisters at home. Taking care of a child is very easy."

Chang Mei laughed and said, "That's right, with so many people in the family, how can we not take good care of a baby? You should hurry up and have the baby. After you have it, your eldest sister will help you take care of it, and then your little one will have a younger brother to play with."

This woman's child was already being treated as a boy even before it was born.

When talking about having children, Cheng Min felt a little embarrassed, remembering the positions her mother-in-law had taught her to increase fertility.

She had only tried that position once in the past two days, and Chang Kun laughed at her for it, which made her afraid to try it again.

I don't know if I conceived that time. If I did, it would be nice to have a baby as cute as Xiao Bao.

……

While the group was chatting and laughing around Xiaobao, Lü Jiawei and his mother went to the matchmaker's house and told her that they wanted to talk to Qin Meiru again.

The matchmaker with bound feet was overjoyed and immediately said, "Little Lü, I knew you had good taste! That Qin family girl is beautiful, famous for miles around. Marrying her would be such a great honor!"

Lu Jiawei forced a smile: "Aunt Wang, then I'll leave this matter to you."

"We're all relatives, no need to be so polite with me, hahaha... I'll hurry to Qin Family Village to inform Qin Family's daughter!"

When the matchmaker stepped into Qin Meiru's house, the Qin family was eating golden cornbread for dinner.

The matchmaker was taken aback. Was the Qin family really that well-off?

Even though she was from the city, she never got to eat this pure cornbread.

Upon seeing someone enter, the Qin family panicked and hurriedly hid the cornbread behind their backs, but it was too late.

"Oh my! It's Aunt Wang! Have you eaten? Come and have some with us." Upon seeing the matchmaker who had introduced her daughter to potential partners in the city, Shi Zhenxiang's flustered expression eased slightly, and she stood up to greet her.

"I've eaten, I've already eaten." The matchmaker stared at the cornbread and swallowed hard.

"Young lady of the Qin family, I've come to deliver good news!" The matchmaker said with a beaming smile.

Qin Meiru smiled with surprise. Could it be that after only meeting him once, Lü Jiawei had already asked a matchmaker to come and discuss marriage?
