While she was taking a beautiful bath, a familiar figure came to the door of Yan's house.

Shi Xiaohe knocked on the door of Yan Xia's house, but there was no response.

"Strange, is there no one at my aunt's house?"

Although the door was open, she would not go in if no one was home.

These are the rules of life.

Just as she was about to leave, Jin Fu stood behind her with a bucket and asked.

"who are you?"

Shi Xiaohe turned around.

The man in front of me looks familiar. He should be Aunt Yan's son?

His age is somewhat like that of Jin Fu.

"I'm Shi Xiaohe. I was in town before, and my aunt lent me money to buy medicine for my grandfather. But my grandfather had a fever and lay in the hospital for several days. He just came back today, so... "

"By the way, are you Brother Jin Fu? Please return this purse to aunt. Just say I'm sorry for missing the appointment. Grandpa is seriously ill, so I returned the money to aunt today. I just knocked on the door and there was no one at home."

Shi Xiaohe handed the purse to Jin Fu.

Although they were from the same village, Jin Fu had been working in the fields since he was sensible and had almost never seen Shi Xiaohe.

It happened that the Shi family only had one acre of land behind the house, so Shi Xiaohe rarely appeared in the sight of the villagers.

Except when I go to town to sell handkerchiefs.

He looked at the woman in front of him who looked as good as Yue Fang.

Jin Fu was stunned for a moment.

He took the purse blankly.

"I know, I will tell my mother."

"Hey, thank you Brother Jinfu. I heard that you were born in spring and I was born in autumn, so is it okay to call you brother? Remember to tell my aunt for me. I will visit her in person to thank her some other time. Oh, my stupid head , there is also a bag of shortbread here. I just bought it in the town. It tastes very good. I’ll give it to you to eat. I’m leaving now. See you later—"

Shi Xiaohe hung the bag of shortbread cookies on Jin Fu's pole and left with a smile.

Jin Fook was left standing there stupidly.

This is the first time he has seen a character like this...

so....

Jin Fu has never read a book and doesn't know how to describe it if Yan Xia is present.

He should be told.

Shi Xiaohe's character is like a little sun.

It makes people want to get closer.

Especially the way her eyes curled up when she smiled.

So endearing.

Jin Fu felt a little uncomfortable in his chest and put down the pole.

Holding the purse in the left hand, the right hand covers the chest.

My heart is beating so fast...

It seemed like it was the first time in his life that he jumped so fast. He obviously didn't feel this way when he saw Yue Fang.

It's so strange....

When she got home, Yan Xia had already finished taking a shower.

"What's that in your hand?"

Yan Xia asked curiously when she saw an extra bag in her eldest son's hand.

"Mom, Shi Xiaohe came just now and offered to return your wallet. Her grandfather was seriously ill and just returned to the village today, so he missed the appointment. Mom, don't blame her. It's not easy for her. Here, I'll give you the wallet and this shortcake. , which was also given by her.”

Seeing her eldest son caring about Shi Xiaohe, Yan Xia was a little puzzled.

Her son didn't seem to know Shi Xiaohe, so why did he help her plead for mercy?

But she didn't think much, took the purse and weighed it.

The weight is about the same, so I didn’t even count it, so I just put it around my waist and tied it.

"Seriously ill? Isn't it cold? Why is it still serious?"

Looking at the shortbread in my hand, it was heavy and not cheap at first glance.

This little girl really knows how to behave.

"I don't know. I think her eyes are dark. She probably hasn't slept well for several days."

"It just so happens that Mom has nothing to do. Mom, go check on her. You can go to the fields and continue working. Let's eat shortbread in the evening. This stuff won't be out for a long time. Remember to tell your younger brothers and sisters not to cook when they come back."

"Hey, I got it, Mom."

Jin Fu picked up the pole and carried the bucket to water the fields.

And Yan Xia came to Shi Xiaohe's house according to her memory.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a familiar voice inside.

"Getting married tomorrow? It's too soon. Even if you don't want a betrothal gift, you still have to consider yourself. You can't marry both a man and a dog. I know you want to make up for your grandfather's regrets, but..."

"Grandma Xu, please, my grandfather is dying right now..." Shi Xiaohe's voice became softer.

"As long as we get married tomorrow, I will marry no matter who it is. As you know, my only relative is grandpa. I don't want grandpa to leave with regrets."

Shi Xiaohe had tears in his eyes.

"This...hey, forget it, grandma will help you. There is a family in the next village with a good family tradition, but they are a bit poor. The grandson of that family is filial and capable. You two can always live a good life. Wait a moment I will go ask their family, and if they agree, you will get married tomorrow."

Matchmaker Xu compromised.

"Thank you, Grandma Xu, thank you."

The sound inside the door was sometimes loud and sometimes soft, and it was hard to hear clearly, but Yan Xia probably guessed it.

The old man of the Shi family is afraid that he will die, but Shi Xiaohe is planning to get married before the old man dies because of Grandpa Yuan's regret.

I have to say that this girl is really filial.

Yan Xia recalled her eldest son's reaction just now, and a plan emerged in her heart.

She pushed open the door of Shi's house and said loudly to the two of them. "My Jinfu agrees!"

Matchmaker Xu and Shi Xiaohe were both stunned.

"Answer, what did you promise?"

"I promise to marry you. The bride price will be five taels of silver plus a gilt hairpin and two new clothes! We will get married tomorrow -"

Yan Xia continued.

Since the Zhao family has gone back on its promise, she will find another wife and marry her. As for not asking for a betrothal gift, Yan Xia doesn't care at all. She is not the one who takes advantage of the situation. This child Xiao He is a good person and deserves to be treated well.

She directly gave the betrothal gift required by the Zhao family to Xiaohe according to these conditions.

"I haven't had time to make the clothes yet. If you don't mind, you can temporarily wear my Osmanthus's clothes tomorrow. She just made them and hasn't worn them twice. You two are about the same height, so you should be able to wear them."

"Auntie? Are you serious?"

"Yes, Xiaoxia, this is no joke."

Matchmaker Xu and Shi Xiaohe thought Yan Xia was joking.

"Am I kidding? Really! In fact, I fell in love with Xiao He at first sight. Instead of marrying someone I don't know, it's better to marry my Jin Fu. My aunt likes you and will treat you like her own daughter. Don't worry, right? You met Jin Fu just now, right? You two match each other very well."

To be honest, Yan Xia felt that Shi Xiaohe's conditions were much better than Yue Fang's. First of all, Yan Xia liked her very much.

Enthusiastic and cheerful, kind and righteous, very honest, and doing well in life, and she is about to be an orphan. There is nothing that can defeat others. Yan Xia, who comes from modern times, thinks that orphans are better, as long as she is good to Xiao He , are you still worried that Xiaohe doesn’t treat her as a relative?

This time it was Shi Xiaohe's turn to be silent. She recalled the scene where she had just spoken to Brother Jin Fu in her mind.

Brother Jin Fu is tall and handsome. It seems that marrying him would be a good idea. Moreover, he is also my aunt's son.

When she thought of her aunt who lent her money, she was such a kind person. If she became her aunt's daughter-in-law, would she be like her aunt's sweet-scented osmanthus sister and have such a good mother?

Shi Xiaohe agreed.

"Auntie, I don't want a bride price, and five taels is too much. I just want to get married tomorrow."
