Lu Jueyu smiled when she heard his polite words and replied, "Brother Li Sang, you don't have to be so polite. Shitou is well-behaved and smart. I'm glad he came to visit me."
After she said this, she glanced at Shitou and added, "Brother Li Sang, if possible, I would like to take Shitou as my adopted son. When you are not around, you can just let him come over and play with my children."
When Li Sang heard this, he was taken aback. He hadn't expected that his neighbor would have this kind of interest in adopting children. Although he was happy that others liked his son, he had no intention of sharing him.
So after a moment of surprise, he smiled and said, "Thank you for appreciating my son, Sister-in-law. But I don't have any intention of doing that."
Lu Jueyu already knew he would refuse, but she still wanted to try—for Shitou's sake. Since he disagreed, she wouldn't push it.
She nodded and said, "Well, I won't force it. Brother Li Sang, even though I won't be able to become Shitou's adopted mother, I'm still willing to take care of him when you are not around. So you don't have to worry about him."
Li Sang understood that she genuinely cared for his son. After all, everyone in Xie Village knew how his mother had treated Shitou after his divorce from Chen Lina.
He nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law, I still have some matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer," he added.
Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "Okay."
Hearing this, Shitou swallowed the sweet potato and said, "Aunt Li, I will come to visit you again another day."
"Then, Aunt Li will wait for you," Lu Jueyu smiled.
After a brief conversation, Li Sang left with his son and headed to Doctor Xie's house to visit his daughter. He still needed to ask her opinion regarding Shitou's situation.
Not long after they left, Houzi knocked at the backyard gate. Lu Jueyu was surprised that she had so many guests today.
When she opened the gate and saw it was Houzi, she asked, "Brother Houzi, what brings you here today?"
"Sister-in-law, I have an important matter to discuss with you and your husband. I came to inform you and will come visit tonight."
Hearing this, Lu Jueyu asked curiously, "What important matter?"
Houzi looked around and replied, "It's regarding a huge order of grains. The order comes from the government, that's why I need to discuss it with the two of you."
When she heard this, Lu Jueyu frowned and said, "I will inform my husband. Brother Houzi, you can come at nine o'clock tonight. We will be waiting for you."
Houzi nodded and said, "Good, then I won't disturb you for now."
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked to his uncle's house.
At the same time, in the Liu family's house, Zhang Ermu, Mother Zhang, and Father Zhang were sitting in the living room with Aunt Lin. Sitting in the main seats were Father Liu and Mother Liu.
Due to the advanced schedule of autumn planting, their family's joyous day plan was disrupted. With everyone going to work, the engagement ceremony between Liu Piao and Zhang Ermu was quiet and deserted.
Besides the parents and matchmaker, there were no other guests. Even so, the joy on the faces of both the Liu and Zhang families was evident.
Aunt Lin was a professional matchmaker, and the engagement ceremony went smoothly without any problems.
In addition to the bride price of 30 yuan, all the necessary items were given according to custom. The Zhang family even added two sets of clothes for Father Liu and Mother Liu.
The Liu family understood the Zhang family's financial situation, so when they saw them bring 30 yuan as the bride price, they were both surprised.
To them, that 30 yuan might have cost the Zhangs all their savings. Their willingness to spend everything to marry Liu Piao into their family meant they respected her and would treat her well after marriage.
With this, the worries in Mother Liu and Father Liu's hearts lessened.
After the ceremony, both families had a simple lunch prepared by Liu Piao. Although the dishes were simple home dishes—one soup, three vegetable dishes, and one meat dish—the taste was delicious.
As they ate, Mother Zhang smiled and said, "Ah Piao has a good skill. In the future, Ermu will have a blessed life."
Feeling shy at the praise, Liu Piao smiled and replied softly, "Aunt Zhang is overpraising me. I still have a lot to learn from you."
Seeing her blushed cheeks, Mother Liu chuckled and said, "This girl is always like this—shy and reserved. In-laws, we will have to trouble you to take care of her more in the future."
Hearing this, Mother Zhang nodded and replied with a smile, "That's a matter of course."
While the mothers exchanged praise and polite words, the fathers shared wine. The jar of wine was a gift from Li Chenmo, and Zhang Ermu had brought it over today to please his uncle-in-law.
Sitting beside each other, Zhang Ermu picked a piece of thick, fatty meat and placed it in Liu Piao's bowl. He leaned closer and whispered, "Ah Piao, you have worked hard today. Eat more meat."

Liu Piao smiled, picked a piece of meat for him in return, and replied, "Mumu, you eat more too."
The two of them whispered to each other, lost in their own world, not noticing the elders watching them with meaningful smiles.
After so many years, the two of them had finally come together. This could be counted as a dream fulfilled for them.
Since everyone was enjoying their conversation, the lunch lasted for two hours. Afterward, Zhang Ermu helped Liu Piao clean up the table and wash the dishes.
Seeing this, Mother Liu and Father Liu's smiles deepened, growing even more satisfied with him.
