Chapter 364 Follow me

Song couldn't help but turn around and tapped her forehead, "I finally understand. You are just like what your elder sister said, like a slippery fish. If you are really confined at home and behave yourself, it's like being on the shore. If you are let out, it's like returning to the water, free and unfettered!"

Shi Liu smiled and said, "Why don't you say that I have been sleeping with my elder sister since I was a child? My elder sister understands me!"

Song shook her head helplessly, "I won't restrict you, but this marriage is about Fatty Nicole, who is only less than half a year older than you. She will get married in April, and you haven't even seen her yet."

"Isn't it because her cousin is older, so he has to get married earlier? I wanted to persuade her that she has just turned fifteen, so there is no need to rush."

However, although they were getting married in April, she had secretly told Pang Ni not to have a baby so early, and to wait at least one or two years.

Fatty didn't know what she meant by that, and thought she wanted her to wait a little longer. She even patted her chest and promised that she would wait until she got married before getting pregnant, so that they could have children one after the other to keep each other company.

At that time, she just smiled and followed Pang Ni's advice, asking her to do what she said, and did not say much because giving birth too early is bad for the body.

Song also knew that Pang Ni was a little hasty in making the decision. If it weren't for the fact that she was marrying her nephew, Qing's sister-in-law would not have agreed to marry their daughter off at this time.

But even if there is no rush to hold the wedding, the marriage should be settled this year at least.

"I'll ask your aunt to keep an eye on you, and hope that you'll find someone to look at when you come back from your trip. If that doesn't work, we won't be so particular, and we can just find a decent boy to marry into our family. After all, the child will have your last name, and we won't be worried about whether he'll covet your property or not."

Shi Liu was shocked when she heard this. "You and Dad are willing to let me marry into your family?"

Who has three sons and still wants their daughter to marry a son-in-law? If you tell others about it, you will be laughed at.

Anyway, nothing like this has ever happened in any of the surrounding villages.

Besides, which good son would be willing to marry into the wife's family unless it is absolutely necessary?

Song said indifferently, "Your clan leader grandfather and his family even let you into the ancestral hall. In their eyes, there is no difference between you and the male members. It's just a matter of marrying a son-in-law. I think they will definitely be happy!"

Pomegranate: That's true.
She thought about the possibility of this matter and did not stop Song from talking.

Seeing her like this, Song thought about telling her aunt that she should look for someone from this direction. It doesn't matter if the man's family is poor, as long as he is not a troublemaker and his family won't cling to him like scabby dogs. The man should have a weak temper, not be too tough, love his wife, and be kind and honest.

After dinner, Shi Liu took a walk to Meng's house to see her elder sister.

The Meng family opened a porcelain shop in the city, selling pottery and porcelain fired in their own pottery kiln, and also took orders for round tubes. The bricklayer who built the new house for the Shiliu family was sought out by countless people to build new houses for them because of the sewer feature, which made the Meng family's pottery kiln famous.

Meng Dongsheng was in charge of the shop and was very busy every day. He had just returned home after dinner and was talking to his wife. When he saw his sister-in-law coming, Meng Dongsheng greeted her and took the initiative to avoid her, leaving space for the two sisters to talk in private.

"I knew you would be back today. I was just saying that you would come over tomorrow morning. Come, let me take a good look at you. I haven't seen you for more than half a month. It seems that you have grown taller." Li Xiangli pulled Shi Liu to take a good look at her.

Shi Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm not Zhang Ge'er, and I'm taller. Big sister, you treat me like a child. Let me take a good look at you, big sister."

"Well, big sister has gained a lot of weight, which is good. How is the baby in your belly? Is it okay?"

"I'm fine. I don't feel anything, except that my appetite has increased a lot." It's only been three months, and my belly isn't even noticeable yet.

"That's good. Big sister, you have to take care of yourself." Shi Liu called Lian Qiuniang over to ask about her daily life and told her to take good care of her. She had to pay more attention to her in the middle and late stages of her life.

The two sisters talked about their personal matters for a while, and Shi Liu didn't want to stay long, so she said goodbye and went back.

The next morning, the family set out back to the village.

When she returned home and met Li Ji and Old Yuanshi Li's father, they all took Shi Liu to have a good look. She had been away for more than half a month and her family was worried about her.

When they heard that she would be going out in a few days, they were as surprised as Song. After being a little more surprised, they just told her to take good care of herself when she was away.

Old Man Li even wanted her to bring the village protection team along with her, which made Shi Liu feel helpless and amused.

In the evening, when Li Rongzhang came back from school, he saw Shi Liu coming back and he jumped up and down with excitement.

"Second sister, you are finally back!" "Well, I heard that your brother Rongsheng passed the imperial examination, so I came back to take a look."

Li Rongzhang curled his lips and said, "Master told me to try it out next year. Who knows, maybe I'll pass the exam next year!"

Shi Liu smiled and said, "If you win, I will also host a wedding banquet for you next year."

Li Rongzhang couldn't help but laugh, "Okay!"

It was a rare occasion for the family to get together and they had a lively dinner together.

After dinner, Shi Liu washed up and returned to her boudoir after being away from it for more than half a month. She felt a rare sense of comfort.

I couldn't sleep for a while, so I grabbed a pen and paper to write and draw.

A head popped in from the doorway, "Second sister."

Shi Liu raised her eyes and beckoned him to come in, "Have you finished your homework today?"

"not yet."

"Then what are you doing?"

Li Rongzhang's eyes kept rolling around. "Second sister, you've been away for more than half a month. People ask me every day when you'll be home. Is it okay for you to be away?"

Pomegranate pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Now that I know you're home today, I can finally feel at peace."

Li Rongzhang said, glancing at Shi Liu again, then glancing at the desk, "Second sister, are you not busy? Come with me to somewhere?"

Shi Liu glanced at him, thinking of the night of the Lantern Festival, and paused, "Where are we going?"

Li Rongzhang saw that there was a play, and quickly grabbed her wrist, "Come with me, you will know when you get there!"

The brother and sister went outside. Li Jihe, who happened to be coming out, saw them and asked them what they were doing.

Li Rongzhang waved his hands hurriedly, "Dad, my second sister and I are going out for a while and will be back soon. You guys go to sleep first!"

After leaving the house, Li Rongzhang pulled Shi Liu and headed straight for the bank of Qinghe River.

There are rows of workshops standing on the river bank, but they are also kept at a distance from Qinghe River.

Green grass, sparkling clear river, and a few lights of the village opposite can be seen in the distance.

"doing what?"

"Don't worry, you'll know soon." Li Rongzhang put his hand on his forehead and tiptoed to look across again and again, "Why is there no movement?"

Seeing him like this, Shi Liu couldn't help but look across, curious about what was waiting for her.

Soon, Li Rongzhang shouted in surprise, "Here it comes!"

"Second sister, hurry up, sit down. Senior Brother told you to sit down and enjoy the view!"

Shi Liu was pulled to sit down by him with a puzzled look on her face. When she looked at the other side of the river, she saw a lantern seemed to be lit on the opposite bank, reflecting a vague and slender figure.

Then, the lantern rose slowly and floated above the Qing River.
