Those words made Cheng Xi's heart soften.

It even made my grandpa, grandma, uncle, and aunt feel so comfortable.

"Okay, this is your grandson-in-law's wish, just keep it." My aunt was the first to put the money into her pocket.

Just kidding, who would want to quit with such a huge amount of money?

The grandparents glared at their daughter-in-law, feeling helpless. Forget it, the worst they could do was send a few more things when Cheng Xi and the others left.

"Xiaoxi, please take... Xiao Pei and sit down. It's almost time for lunch." The eldest aunt made arrangements and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Two tables of food were laid out at noon today. Cheng Xi took Pei Yanzhou and sat at a table outside, along with a group of younger brothers, sisters, and older brothers and sisters.

Pei Yanzhou was sitting on a red plastic stool, and the aura around him was simply incompatible with the scene.

A cousin with a lively personality asked jokingly: "Cheng Xi, how old is your boyfriend?"

"He's 27 years old." Cheng Xi glanced at someone.

"Then you are not alumni, how do you know each other?"

Cheng Xi: "..."

How do we know each other?

You can't say that you know each other through the substitute marriage.

At this time, Pei Yanzhou, who was beside him, replied calmly: "Her sister and I are from aristocratic families. We met her by chance and fell in love at first sight."

"Oh, it was love at first sight, so romantic." Everyone joked.

"..."

Cheng Xi glanced at the man beside him speechlessly.

love at first sight?

You have the nerve to say it.

Pei Yanzhou smiled at her and added a piece of pork belly to her, "You are too thin, eat more."

The corners of Cheng Xi's mouth twitched.

She hates eating fat meat the most.

"You are too thin, you should eat more." Cheng Xi also gave him a piece of pork belly.

A cousin laughed and said, "Why don't you two settle this bowl of braised pork?"

Cheng Xi lowered his head to eat and secretly kicked Pei Yanzhou.

After the meal, the eldest aunt enthusiastically asked Cheng Xi not to do anything, not to collect the bowls and chopsticks, but to just accompany her boyfriend.

Cheng Xi also enjoyed his leisure time and took Pei Yanzhou to sit in the kitchen to make firewood.

Many city people are not very good at burning firewood, let alone making firewood.

Cheng Xi watched Pei Yanzhou skillfully push away the middle of the firewood. The flames suddenly grew bigger. He added a few more dead branches to it.

"You know how to burn firewood?" Cheng Xi was surprised.

"Well, when I lived in the Mu family, the Mu family was also very poor," Pei Yanzhou explained. "Every time Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu went back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year, they would also burn firewood."

Cheng Xi knew why he was so grateful to the Mu family.

If you think about it carefully, Mu Xuetong's parents are quite kind. Their family conditions are not good, but they are willing to raise a homeless child.

She suddenly became quiet, and her smart and beautiful little face was illuminated by the flames.

Pei Yanzhou held her hand that was stretched out in the air to warm up to the fire, wrapped his two slender fingers around her soft little hand and rubbed it gently. Finally, he lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand gently.

Cheng Xi looked at him. The man's dark eyelashes were clearly illuminated by the fire.

So much so that she forgot to take her hand back.

"What are you looking at?" Pei Yanzhou suddenly asked with his thin lips curled up.
