She twisted her body a little bit, feeling a tinge of embarrassment, but still whispered softly: "Since Zhou Sheng thought of Hua Hua, I naturally have to think of Bing Bing too,"

"People reciprocate with kindness. When everyone gets along, that's when things are truly good." she said.

Yang Ruqing said with a face of relief: "Your stepmother is also a mother, you are so kind, Bingbing is fortunate to have such a stepmother."

Ping'er smiled but said nothing. After a moment, she whispered to Yang Ruoqing, "Ruoqing, Zhou Sheng came over today to deliver strawberries for me. He told me that he has almost saved enough money,"

"If the weather is good these days, I'd like to ask someone to help renovate the house."

“It's done. When Dragon Boat Festival comes, I’ll have a matchmaker come and break this news to you. What do you think?”

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruqing naturally clapped her hands in approval.

“There was a stretch of nonstop rain recently, but it should clear up soon. When I get back, I'll say hello to Uncle Changgen and Uncle Daniu, and give Zhou Sheng a few days off.” Yang Ruqing said.

"Tell him to take some time off and fix up the house, and on my end, I'll also try to marry you off sooner, haha..."

When the cuckoos began to sing above the village, Zhou Sheng's several houses had been repaired.

>

The roof has been replaced, and some of the furniture inside has been changed and some repaired.

The most valuable piece of furniture in Zhou Shengchen's house was the bed he made when he married Fengzhi.

That flower bed was made from the best wood he had felled on the mountain behind. Bingbing was also born on that bed.

This flower bed is still seven out of ten new. As long as it's repaired, it can be used as a brand new wedding bed.

But when Zhou Sheng thought about the fact that Feng Zhi had also passed away on this bed, he hesitated.

After all, it's about welcoming a new member to the family...

Just as Zhou Sheng called out to his older brother, Zhou Sheng Ge, and several villagers who were good friends with him came over to help dismantle the bed, Yang Ruocheng arrived quickly.

"Zhou Sheng is at home, isn't he? I have something to tell you, it won't take you more than a cup of tea." Yang Ruoqing said.

Zhou Sheng then let the others sit in the main hall to drink tea and eat melon seeds, while he went into the room with Yang Ruqing.

Yang Ruqing looked around the room and nodded secretly.

The house, after being renovated, gives off a fresh and new feeling.

All the furniture, including chairs, stools, and washstands, were brand new, emitting the scent of tung oil.

It's clear that Zhou Sheng truly put his heart into caring for Ping'er.

Here is the translation:<<<

Even those young couples who are getting married for the first time, it’s not guaranteed that the groom's family can make their wedding home this nice.

After scanning the room, Yang Ruohong's gaze landed on the large flower bed.

It's really pretty, and it's in good condition. Three sides have railings, so if we ever have kids they can climb around on it without worrying about falling off.

Besides, it fits in well with everything else in this room, and it's very impressive.

"Qing'er, what's the matter? Did she send you here?"

Zhou Sheng handed a bowl of tea to Yang Ruoqing and asked with a smile.

Yang Ruqing smiled and nodded, "Well, it is indeed Ping'er who sent me here."

It really is.

Zhou Sheng's face showed some joy, and he asked, "Is she alright? It's hard work for you to come over. What's the matter?"

Yang Ruqing then gestured towards the flowerbed with her chin. "Look, I came for that."

Zhou Sheng also glanced at the flower bed, his face slightly changing.

Then he said, "Well... Qing'er, you tell Ping'er to rest assured, I know what's right and wrong."

“Let the past be in the past, people should look forward, new people and fresh beginnings...”

Yang Ruqing interrupted Zhou Sheng's words and said, "Zhou Shengge, you misunderstood my intention."

Zhou Sheng was startled, then Yang Ruoqing continued, "Ping'er heard that you had someone come over to dismantle the bed and she was very worried. Since she couldn't come herself, she asked me to come and pass on a message to you,"

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Sheng asked again.

Yang Ruqing said, "Ping'er said that this bed is very good and shouldn't be changed or dismantled,"

"Some things, just let go in your heart, don't have to fight with them,"

“She came here to live a good life with you, to support this family. Don't be extravagant and wasteful. If something is usable, don't change it. Besides, this flower bed is quite nice, don't change it.”

After hearing Yang Ruqing's words, Zhou Sheng was stunned on the spot, as if he had heard wrong.

“Qing’er, Ping’er… she really said that?” He asked incredulously.

Yang Ruqing curled her lips, "Do you think the two of us have the time to come here and fool you?"

Zhou Sheng scratched his head, chuckled softly, his eyes and eyebrows brimming with joy.

To be honest, this flowerbed is really nice. It's a shame to dismantle it.

>

Earlier, they were still talking about this in the main hall. The elder brother even advised him to think about it carefully again.

But he was worried that Ping'er would mind, so even though it was a pity, he had to give up.

Now that Ping'er has made her stance clear, he naturally has to listen to Ping'er.

"It's rare to find someone like Ping'er, so intelligent and generous, always thinking of me..." Zhou Sheng murmured.

Yang Ruqing said, "In the future, just treat Ping'er a little better. That's all, I've passed on the message, you continue with your work, I'm leaving first."

Zhou Sheng nodded, "I'll see you out."

As they reached the courtyard gate, Zhou Sheng suddenly remembered something and said to Yang Ruoqing, "Qing'er, the 20th is a good day. I'm thinking of inviting a matchmaker to come and make our intentions official. What do you think?"

Yang Ruqing's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands and said, "Good! I've been waiting to eat wedding wine for a long time."

Zhou Sheng's face flushed red, and he grinned.

Yang Ruqing continued, "Have you told Bingbing about this?"

Although she had been careful to keep things hidden before, Zhou Sheng and Ping'er's relationship was still noticed by the villagers.

People are discussing this matter in private. Adults talk about it during tea breaks and after meals, and the children nearby overheard them unintentionally.

Then the children, while playing with Bingbing, passed on to him words they had heard from adults but only partially understood.

Bingbing went home and started making a fuss with Zhou Sheng...

Upon hearing Yang Ruqing's question, Zhou Sheng was taken aback. Although he once again forced a smile, it was different from the one before.

With a struggle, and bitterness.

“I told Bingbing, this child is over seven years old now, and he understands many things,” Zhou Sheng said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "There are some people outside who maliciously provoke children, this is inevitable. Those people just like to see the excitement of other people's families."

"Once Ping'er has entered the house and closed the door, they will live happily together. When their hearts grow closer, I believe Bingbing will accept Ping'er."

"Then, all those idle rumors outside will fall apart on their own." she said.

Zhou Sheng also nodded vigorously, "Yes, the future is long, and everyone will see clearly in the future."
