Anning and Liu Feifei have been busy ever since they returned to Y County.

She has to go to the fields to observe the growth of some newly cultivated seedlings, and also prepare for the wedding.

Seeing Anning and Si Linna so busy, Liu Feifei decided to lend a hand.

She might not know much else, but she can at least cook for the two of them. Sometimes when Anning and Si Linna get so busy they can’t even graze on food, Liu Feifei would bring meals directly to the fields.

Besides cooking, Liu Feifei also helps with cultivating vegetables. Moreover, Fengtai Village has many skilled artisans, and when Liu Feifei has free time, she learns tea frying from others, learns spinning and weaving from older grandmas, and picks up some basic embroidery skills.

This girl has a good disposition, always wearing a smile no matter who she’s talking to.

She is also very polite and conducts herself modestly and courteously, quickly winning the favor of most villagers during her short stay in Fengtai Village.

Some aunties quietly asked Anning about Liu Feifei’s age and if she had a boyfriend, even considering introducing her to someone.

After Liu Feifei stayed in Fengtai Village for some time, the vegetables in the fields were ready to eat.

Li Hai had been thinking about Fengtai Village’s vegetables, and upon hearing they could be picked, he immediately drove over.

He planned to have a few meals in Fengtai Village and bring some fresh vegetables home for his family.

However, Li Hai arrived and was almost startled seeing Liu Feifei: "You—you, how come you’re here?"

Liu Feifei was confused, looking puzzled: "Who are you? Do I even know you?"

Li Hai wiped the cold sweat off, seeing Liu Feifei’s genuine perplexity, thinking he might have mistaken her for someone, then Anning entered and called Feifei, to which Li Hai let out a cry: "You are Liu Feifei?"

Liu Feifei nodded: "Yes, do you know me?"

Anning grabbed Li Hai and flashed a smile at Liu Feifei: "This is my friend, Li Hai he—well, you guys had a little misunderstanding before. I’ll take him outside for some explaining."

Liu Feifei understood; apparently, when her other persona took over her body, it had been pestering Li Hai.

Thinking about this, Liu Feifei felt somewhat awkward.

Yet, this girl has such a good disposition, she sincerely apologized to Li Hai: "Young Master Li, I’m really sorry, even though I don’t remember those things, I still caused you some trouble, I genuinely apologize."

While speaking, she earnestly bowed to Li Hai.

This left Li Hai stunned for quite a while.

Anning dragged Li Hai out the door.

"What’s going on here?"

Li Hai questioned Anning in confusion: "Why does Liu Feifei seem like a completely different person?"

Anning chuckled: "This is the real Liu Feifei; the persona that was pestering you was a split personality, which has now been abolished. Liu Feifei’s situation is quite similar to mine, tough, they’re pretty complex anyway."

Li Hai scratched his head: "Sis, what sort of luck am I having? Running into you both, both with split personalities."

Anning chuckled: "Your luck wasn’t great before, but it won’t be like this in the future."

"Why would you say that?"

After knowing Liu Feifei’s situation, Li Hai relaxed, having the mood to banter with Anning: "Is it possible I’ve got a main character aura?"

Anning spit playfully: "Stop dreaming. The main reason is you’re my partner, my luck is good, so yours naturally won’t be bad."

"Pah."

Li Hai hardly believed that for a second: "If your luck was good, would you be split? We’re cut from the same cloth, not much difference between us."

"Alright then, whatever you say is true."

Anning wasn’t in the mood to banter aimlessly: "Just so you know, Feifei’s cooking is superb. Be nice when talking to her, she might get happy and cook you some dishes."

Mentioning food, Li Hai immediately became lively.

He jogged back to the Shi Family to butter up Liu Feifei.

Anning and Si Linna took some vegetables back from the fields; Liu Feifei was already starting to cook.

The lunch was indeed prepared by Liu Feifei.

She did feel a bit guilty toward Li Hai, then hearing that he wanted to taste her cooking, Liu Feifei eagerly cooked for him.

This meal left Li Hai almost swallowing his tongue.

Liu Feifei’s cooking skills were fantastic, but the ingredients played the starring role. The taste of the vegetables Anning grew was so fresh it was delicious even without preparation.

"These vegetables are too good."

Li Hai was full, lounging in the deck chair in the yard, rubbing his belly with burps: "I say, your lives are just too good; makes me want to leave everything behind and stay here, it’s like an immortal’s existence."

Liu Feifei giggled, handing Li Hai a cup of digestive tea.

In the afternoon, Si Linna was off to negotiate contracts with several hotel owners, while Anning and Xiao Yuan went to try on the wedding dress. Li Hai and Liu Feifei stayed at home.

Li Hai was lounging in the rocking chair, leisurely singing. Liu Feifei sat not far under a tree, quietly embroidering.

Her posture was graceful, head slightly bowed, diligently sewing stitch by stitch.

Turning his head to see Liu Feifei, Li Hai felt a sense of tranquil serenity.

Anning and Xiao Yuan were to wear traditional dresses for their wedding.

They didn’t have much money, so no expensive custom designs; those were too pricey, and the Xiao Family wouldn’t accept them.

They simply found a bridal store in the county, selected and purchased two sets of dresses there.

For Anning and Xiao Yuan, what kind of dress they wore wasn’t important, for as long as they were together, even without dresses they’d feel happy.

Xiao Yuan drove Anning there, and after trying them on, the store would make alterations.

The bridal shop owner approached Xiao Yuan and Anning with a proposal: "I’d like to take a few pictures of you two for promotion; these two dresses can be given to you for free, would you be interested?"

Of course, they weren’t interested.

Anning and Xiao Yuan weren’t lacking money for those dresses.

Xiao Yuan smiled: "Sorry, but that’s really not an option."

Though the owner was a bit disappointed, he didn’t push the matter.

After trying on dresses and agreeing on a pickup time, Anning and Xiao Yuan strolled around the county.

In the afternoon, they bought many things and drove to the school to visit Yan Rong and Yan Meng. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Returning, they saw several black sedans driving toward Erdaowan.

Anning frowned, eyeing Xiao Yuan: "Follow those cars."

Xiao Yuan sensed something.

He accelerated, staying at a reasonable distance from the cars.

Once those cars entered the village and stopped, Xiao Yuan took a shortcut home.

He drove straight into the yard and called Mr. Xiao to help unload the car.

Mother Xiao and Grandma came out of the house, seeing smiles on Anning and Anjing’s faces: "Did you find the pretty dresses?"

Anning smiled, supporting Grandma: "We found them, we both tried them on; it fits, except the waist needs some alteration."

Grandma looked at Anning’s slender waist: "Your waist is indeed small. Most dresses have a loose waist on someone like you."

Mother Xiao chuckled: "Tired? Come in and rest, your grandma just made some food, come inside and taste it."

Anning supported Grandma toward the house: "What delicious food has grandma made?"

The three ladies had just sat down inside; Xiao Yuan and Mr. Xiao were still unloading the car when noise came from outside, recognizing it as Third Uncle Xiao’s voice.

"Brother, sis, are you home?"

Mr. Xiao put down what he was doing and went to greet them: "Here."

Mother Xiao also exited the house, seeing Third Uncle Xiao leading an old man along with quite a few people dressed in black into the yard.

"Third, what’s going on?"
