"What are you two siblings whispering about?" Yi Shunyin interrupts with a frown.
"Dad, looks like my little sister is really fine." Yi Weiliang replies, rubbing his head and smiling broadly.
Coming furiously, leaving companionably. On the way, Liu Huilan walked at the back of the group with Yi Roujing, asking softly for quite a while, and Yi Roujing answered every question. Liu Huilan suddenly found her eyes turning red.
She reached out with her sleeve to wipe her tears, "You've become so sensible now, and it makes me feel a little heartache."
Seeing this, Yi Roujing felt a twinge in her nose too. This feeling was indeed unfamiliar; turns out being cared for really makes one tear up easily. "Mom, you're so funny. Isn't it good to be sensible? Actually, it was after I fell into the water this time that I realized, life is most important; everything else is secondary."
"Primarily, it's because I made a mistake back then. Now my in-laws treating me well is truly forgiving the past." Yi Roujing said, "I also think about it from a standpoint of empathy, today's gratitude turned into ingratitude for me; I might not let it go so lightly."
"Marrying you is Ding Ancheng's blessing." Liu Huilan snorted.
Yi Roujing twitches her lips slightly, indeed, the original self is perfect in her mom's eyes.
"But you're right. Since the in-laws treat you well, you should treat them well too. After a long time, they will know how good our Nannan is."
"Come home when there's something, even when there's nothing, come home often." Liu Huilan never let go of Yi Roujing's hand and kept chattering.
When they parted, Yi Roujing watched Liu Huilan and the group leave far away. Liu Huilan frequently turned back, urging her to go back. Upon seeing Yi Roujing steadfastly watch them off, her eyes reddened again, turning back three steps at a time.
The Yi Family left the Dingping Production Team accompanied by Yi Roujing and Ding Weihuo.
"Ancheng's wife and Anmin, don't go to the work team this morning, we..."
"Dad, I want to go to work." Ding Anmin interrupts.
"I'll go too." Yi Roujing echoed.
Ding Anmin snorted, giving Yi Roujing a glance that meant she was sensible, but Yi Roujing did not mind her.
Returning home, Li Hongying pointed to two baskets under the eaves and said, "Take them to your room, they were brought by the in-laws."
Yi Roujing unabashedly opened the rough cloth washed white covering the baskets, one basket had a bag full of white flour, the other contained brown sugar, red dates, dried longan, eggs, and a strip of one jin pork belly.
At this time, these things were precious, couldn't even be bought with money. Ding Anmin widened her eyes upon seeing them, indeed well-favored.
"Take these to the kitchen." Yi Roujing said naturally, seeing that they were all food.
"To the kitchen?" Ding Anmin was shocked, "You want us to eat together?"
Yi Roujing laughed brightly, "Yes, lend a hand."
"Why are you suddenly so kind?"
"I was always like this." Yi Roujing said shamelessly.
"Let's have breakfast first." Li Hongying said looking at Yi Roujing.
Breakfast was vegetable porridge with pickles, Yi Roujing gulped it down, then the whole family went out to get ready to go to the warehouse.
However, halfway they saw a man with a large backpack coming from not far away, half a head taller than Ding Anguo, looking about 1.83 meters or so, with a slender build, wearing a white shirt, a blue sweater vest, black pants, and leather shoes.
His skin was fair, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a prominent nose and thin lips, pieced together, no trace of effeminacy, and had that unique cold aura, giving a feeling of 'do not approach'.
Ding Weihuo asked Ding Anguo to go tell the team leader that their family wouldn't go to work in the morning, they'd head there in the afternoon instead.
"Ancheng—" Li Hongying was very happy to see her eldest son, rushed over and began to inquire with concern.
Yi Roujing seeing this cheap husband Ding Ancheng, felt emotional, the original self had one hell of an aesthetic, a typical tall, rich, and handsome.
Seeing Li Hongying's sincere concern and Ding Ancheng's slightly mellowed expression, knowing the plot, Yi Roujing heartily felt the purity of Ding Weihuo and Li Hongying's hearts, aware Ding Ancheng wasn't their biological son, but over twenty years of treatment was better than that.
Yi Roujing didn't plan to change the storyline, the reunion would come naturally, speaking out might be seen as a monster, but how could she get this marriage divorce, what about letting the main male and female lead live happily ever after.
Like Xia Xingchen's tragic fate, she had to change it, but she didn't want to ruin those living a sweet life.
As Yi Roujing spaced out, Ding Ancheng noticed immediately because she didn't rush in front of him, shy and awkward as before, incoherent.
"Ancheng's wife, why are you in a daze?" Ding Weihuo's smiling remark brought Yi Roujing back to her senses.
"Ancheng, why haven't you come back in so long, you're a family man now." Ding Weihuo scolded Ding Ancheng with a glare.
"Dad." Ding Ancheng called out.
"Alright, alright, let's go home first, at noon we'll cook something good, the family just got some game." Li Hongying rounded up, hesitated and spoke frankly, "Your wife caught it."
Ding Ancheng slightly raised an eyebrow but soon regained his composure, not looking at Yi Roujing the whole time.
Yi Roujing could understand Ding Ancheng, he didn't like the girl, saw her being teased by rogues and helped out, ended up with a threatened reputation, forced to marry her. If it happened to Yi Roujing, even a few beatings would be too little.
"Did you have breakfast?" "Did you take the bus?" "Did you travel tired?"
...
Yi Roujing smiled a little, thinking of Liu Huilan's barrage of questions just now, and seeing Li Hongying do the same for Ding Ancheng. Indeed, parents are always worried about their children, not all parents are like this, but fortunately, those she met were so beautiful.
"Why aren't you going?" Ding Anmin came up to Yi Roujing, rarely giving her a few more looks.
"Going up is annoying." Yi Roujing clicked her tongue as she replied.
"Oh—" Ding Anmin looked Yi Roujing up and down, "So you're starting to think, find another way to attract my brother."
Yi Roujing's eyes twitched, she had no such thoughts.
"My brother likes..." Ding Anmin began to say but stopped because she suddenly realized she couldn't even articulate what her brother liked, "Anyway, like you, always clinging to him is wrong, not to mention my brother, no one would like it."
Yi Roujing laughed, teasingly said, "There's a saying, a good man fears three pestering, right?"
"What nonsense." Ding Anmin glared at her, "Focus on self-improvement, there's a saying, good women attract hundreds of suitors."
Yi Roujing nodded, "Anmin, I think you're very right."
A ready-made reason presented, her own future changes wouldn't be a problem, truly a considerate little cotton-padded jacket.
