Although Su Qingluan was already 70% certain that her plan would succeed, she did not reveal it to Zhaodi or Chen Zhi.
Although Chen Zhi has a smooth and steady side in his character, he is still a young man under twenty years old after all, and he has not yet reached the stage of "keeping everything in his heart without showing it"; as for recruiting younger brothers, he is even more serious "Put everything on your face" is expressed clearly and clearly.
If these two people were told about this in advance, even if they could barely control themselves from telling it, their happy and expectant expressions would sell them out completely.
There was nothing wrong with Chen Zhi. His brother and sister-in-law regarded this younger brother as half a son and loved him very much. But it was different with Zhaodi. If this oversight caused Zhaodi's parents to become suspicious and the whole plan fail, Su Qingluan's long plan would be in vain.
So even if he was very sure, the closer he got to the "success of the plan", the more nervous Su Qingluan felt.
Su Qingluan could not tell her parents about this nervousness. After all, Yang and Su Guangfu would never allow Su Qingluan to interfere in other people's marriages - even if she had good intentions.
This is not because Yang and Su Guangfu are unkind or on the side of Zhaodi's parents. On the contrary, they also know the evil things Zhaodi's parents have done, and they scolded them bloody.
However, this does not prevent Su Guangfu and Yang from being just a pair of ordinary parents. They are just more worried about Su Qingluan, their biological daughter, than whether other families' daughters are pitiful or whether they want to jump into the fire pit.
In this era, "marriage" is a first-class life event and a signal for the "alliance" of two families. It is not the kind of thing that Su Qingluan did in her previous life, where "two people can get married if they are happy, and divorce if they are unhappy." .
Therefore, in every aspect, where unmarried girls can be allowed to participate, where family harmony is required and married women with children and grandchildren must participate, and where there are even situations where pregnant women are not allowed to participate, there are reasons. Very strict regulations. The more backward a place is, the more "revered" these "ancestral rules" are. This is no different in the Huaxi Village area.
It is precisely because of this that there is another legend that if these rules are broken, it will bring bad luck or even disaster to the person who breaks the rules.
Su Qingluan knew very clearly that this was considered "interfering in other families' marriages", which was very taboo for everyone, so her parents would definitely oppose her doing this because they were afraid that "ancestral ghosts and gods" would bring disaster to them. .
She couldn't tell Liu Yuniang about her pressure and nervousness, nor could she even show any signs of it.
Although Liu Yunniang can be regarded as her "accomplice", that's because Liu Yunniang has a big personality and doesn't care about these strange rumors. She is also a chivalrous woman who is willing to fight against injustice. She watched a poor girl being pushed by her parents. Naturally, I couldn’t stand the fire pit and wanted to save it.
But Su Qingluan understood that she was the "submissive" after all, and she was the leader of the whole thing. Sometimes Liu Yunniang herself is afraid that something will go wrong and does bad things with good intentions.
So if she, the one in charge, panics, not only will Liu Yunniang feel uneasy, but Huang Ergou, who was doing things honestly, will be aware of it and cause trouble.
So in the days approaching the end of April, Su Qingluan always ran to Mu Xingzhi's home - of course, to finish reading the book, and then find an excuse to find two more books. In fact, it was to "vent the pressure."
Su Qingluan's way of venting stress is also very strange. It's cooking - cooking something specific, very troublesome and time-consuming, but highly ornamental and of average practicality.
In short, it is food carving and plating.
You can eat these things if you insist on eating them, but after all, because you want to keep the color of the dish bright and solid, raw carrots, cucumbers, radishes, watermelon rinds, etc. are usually used.
Cucumbers are of course a different matter, but the taste of other ingredients is really average.
However, these vegetables are relatively large in size, so the presentation is indeed very beautiful.
Songbo put a pitiful pot of stir-fried green bamboo shoots and marinated meat on a plate with an exaggerated "Phoenix Tour" shape. He shook his head and smiled at Mu Xingzhi: "Those who don't know think there is some kind of dragon in it." Where’s the liver and phoenix marrow?”
Mu Xingzhi smiled and said, "It looks pleasing to the eye anyway, doesn't it?" He picked up the bowl and picked up a handful of green bamboo shoots.
Songbo sighed: "That girl from Qingluan has been coming here to get radishes and other things lately, but some villagers started to inquire..."
"What are you asking about?" Mu Xingzhi raised his eyes and glanced at Song Bo, as if he knew what he was going to say.
Only then did Song Bo realize that he had almost said something to complain about. He shook his head quickly, continued to serve Mu Xingzhi, and then ran away.
...In fact, Luo Shunqi and Mu Xingzhi are all seen in a wheelchair, so from time to time villagers are concerned about whether Mr. Mu has bloating, food accumulation or something...
Su Qingluan didn't know that her little habit of venting stress had unknowingly killed Mu Xingzhifengping. After venting her anger, she felt much better.
On the other hand, the first day of May finally arrived. In order not to make any mistakes, Su Qingluan made an excuse to stay at Liu's house the day before.
Su Qingluan and Liu Yuniang are good friends. Occasionally, Su Qingluan works late or wants to get up early for something, so she stays at the Liu family overnight. The Liu family even specially reserved a guest room for Su Qingluan.
So when Su Qingluan said this, Su Guangfu and Yang had no doubt at all, so they nodded in agreement.
So early that morning, Su Qingluan and Liu Yuniang secretly observed the situation at Huang Ergou. Sure enough, before "Huang Banxian" opened, the father and mother who wanted to recruit their younger brother were already waiting there. It seemed that the curfew had just begun and pedestrians were allowed to pass on the street. These two people came here to queue up to "grab a spot."
When Huang Ergou saw his parents, he took a circuitous approach as usual and said, "You two good believers, there is no need to wake up early and wait till late at night. If we are destined, we will meet you two." This is because he dislikes them for coming too far. early.
However, in the eyes of Zhaodi's parents, this kind of soft nail that poured cold water on him further confirmed that the "straight-talking" Huang Banxian'er in front of them was the real deal, and was not comparable to those charlatans who swaggered and defrauded people of their money.
So Liu Baogen, the father who recruited his younger brother, showed a flattering smile: "Isn't there a saying that 'man...man can conquer nature'? We have to work hard for my son!"
"That's all," Huang Ergou sighed pretentiously, "seeing that you are sincere enough, I will calculate this hexagram for you. What do you want?"
