It was said that the more a mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more she liked him. Ma Juhua looked at Huang Yixiao in this way. When she didn't like him, she hated him. Now that she liked him, he was pleasing to the eye.
Even the appearance that she used to think was tough had become firm and masculine.
Xiao Chunhua's matter had damaged Jiujiu's reputation. Although Huang Yixiao's family was poor, he was still a scholar. If he wanted to break off the engagement because of this matter, the Chen family had nothing to say. However, not only did Huang Yixiao not want to break off the engagement, he even took out the family heirloom. His sincerity could be seen.
Xiao Chunhua's heart, which had been in her throat, instantly calmed down. No matter how she looked at Huang Yixiao, she was satisfied. Especially when she saw Huang Yixiao's tall figure, she thought of how Huang Yixiao had helped Jiujiu cut and carry the pigweed. Although it was a small matter, Huang Yixiao was still a scholar. To be able to put down his status and do such a thing for Jiujiu, it could be seen that he sincerely treated Jiujiu well.
In the afternoon, Xiao Chunhua cooked the chicken, duck, and fish that she specially bought from the county town yesterday. In the evening, Chen Zhangsheng and Huang Yixiao drank together, while Ma Juhua and Jiujiu ate in the small kitchen.
Huang Yixiao was a scholar, but he didn't have the air of a scholar. The bowl was as big as the sea, and it was filled to the brim with wine. Huang Yixiao raised his head and gulped it down. After drinking, his face didn't turn red, and his heart didn't skip a beat. He was like a walking wine jar.
Chen Zhangsheng was very happy that he found such a good man for Jiujiu. Now, Huang Yixiao didn't have any airs at all and drank with him. He even talked to him from time to time to make him happy. After playing the finger-guessing game, Chen Zhangsheng could feel that Huang Yixiao was obviously better than him. However, Huang Yixiao kept giving in to him. However, Huang Yixiao had a sense of propriety and didn't leave any traces. It was the kind that was just enough to be noticed but not very obvious. Although it was a little clever, it still made Chen Zhangsheng very happy.
Chen Chang Sheng handed over the daughter he had raised for so many years to the son-in-law he was particularly satisfied with. His heart was extremely carefree. Even though Huang Yixiao deliberately went easy on him, he still drank a lot. By the time the moon was high in the sky, the two people didn't eat much. Instead, they finished the two large jugs of wine.
Chen Zhangsheng had already fallen asleep on the table due to the alcohol. Huang Yixiao helped Jiujiu and Ma Juhua to carry Chen Zhangsheng to the bed in the room.
Ma Juhua saw Chen Zhangsheng sleeping in a daze and sweating profusely. She quickly picked up the basin and filled it with water to wipe Chen Zhangsheng's sweat.
Seeing this, Huang Yixiao took his leave.
Today, because of the marriage proposal, he had to come for the whole day. At noon, he asked the neighbor to take a look at his mother. Now that the moon was high in the sky, he was a little worried about his mother.
However, Ma Juhua was currently busy taking care of Chen Zhangsheng and had no time to send Huang Yixiao off. She directly said, "Jiujiu, help Mother send your Big Brother Huang off."
After Ma Juhua finished speaking, she lowered her head to take care of Chen Zhangsheng again. Jiujiu stood up and raised her head to look at Huang Yixiao.
Although Chen Zhangsheng was drunk and fast asleep, the person who drank the most was actually Huang Yixiao. However, his alcohol tolerance was better. Even though he drank so much wine, his cheeks were slightly red and his eyes became brighter. There were no other traces at all.
Although she said she was sending Huang Yixiao off, in fact, the distance between the two houses was less than a mile. They arrived in a short while.
Jiujiu sent Huang Yixiao out and the two walked along a deserted path.
A bright moon hung high in the bright night sky. The moonlight was bright like milk spilling over the earth. Jiujiu's body was coated with a layer of dazzling silver light, as if her whole body was shining.
The two of them kept walking forward in silence. Only the sound of their footsteps on the ground could be heard.
Because the two of them were just engaged, Jiujiu would inevitably be embarrassed if she spoke first. Therefore, Jiujiu kept her mouth shut all the way. As for Huang Yixiao, he kept his head sideways and quietly looked at Jiujiu.
Jiujiu's eyes were as beautiful as the clear spring in the mountains. Now, when she looked at the distant moonlight, it was like a dazzling starlight. Jiujiu's cheeks were as delicate as a peeled egg. The bridge of her nose was delicate and her small mouth was pink like the most dazzling pink on an autumn lotus. It made people want to kiss her.
Huang Yixiao was at the age where he was full of vigor. After drinking just now, he had a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery. Blood rushed to his head in an instant.
Blood surged up and down in his chest. Jiujiu's cheeks kept flashing in front of his eyes. His chest kept swelling, urging him to quickly bend down and hug Jiujiu.
Even though Huang Yixiao's willpower was astonishing, it still took him a lot of effort to restrain his urge to hug Jiujiu. Taking a deep breath to suppress the aggressive desire, Huang Yixiao stopped and turned around. He lowered his head to look at Jiujiu and said in a low voice, "The night is cold and the dew is heavy. I can send you here. You can go back."
When he said "you can go back", Huang Yixiao's Adam's apple couldn't help but move up and down. Especially when he saw Jiujiu's head lowered and the cute little jade on top of her hair, his heart couldn't help but feel even more unbearable.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and raised her head to look into Huang Yixiao's eyes.
After a sound of acknowledgment, she nodded. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Huang Yixiao suddenly reached out and pulled her into his embrace. Huang Yixiao's body looked strong, but in reality, it was more than that. The strong muscles on his chest seemed to be made of iron. When Jiujiu touched him, her small nose was pressed down. The moment the tip of her nose collided with the iron-like muscles, it hurt so much that Jiujiu could only gasp.
Jiujiu's gasp finally woke Huang Yixiao up. He hurriedly reached out to help Jiujiu up. Looking at Jiujiu's small nose that had turned red from the pressure and pain, he raised his hand to gently rub it.
Jiujiu's skin was soft and tender. It was as delicate as milk to the touch. His fingers gently rubbed it twice, but the redness on the tip of her nose didn't fade. Instead, it became even redder. Huang Yixiao didn't expect Jiujiu's skin to be so soft. He instantly panicked and quickly removed his hand, afraid that he would use too much strength and cause Jiujiu more harm.
When Jiujiu saw that Huang Yixiao had finally lifted his hand, she hurriedly put it down and carefully rubbed her nose. Only then did she raise her head to look at Huang Yixiao and say softly, "Big Brother Huang, then I'll be going back. Be careful on the road."
Seeing Jiujiu say goodbye to him in such a delicate and soft voice, Huang Yixiao's heart clapped even harder. Licking his dry lips, Huang Yixiao stared unblinkingly at the pink blush on Jiujiu's face. In a raspy voice, he said, "Okay, you go first. I'll watch over her."
His little wife was so pretty. What if she met some bad guy? This place was only about a hundred meters away from Jiujiu's house. It wasn't convenient for him to send Jiujiu there, so he would watch over her carefully. He would only go back when he saw that Jiujiu was safely home.
Jiujiu made a sound of acknowledgment and turned to go home.
