Liu Mancang gave Zhao Jisheng a look, as if to say, "See, what did I tell you?"

However, his shout did attract the attention of the other unmarried people at the table.

"Hey, Mancang, why don't you say something to me?" someone said.

“What are you saying? You’re not married,” Liu Mancang said.

"Isn't it just because he's not married that I'm letting you say a few words? Didn't you say it a while ago, that Third Brother will get married this year and have three children in five years?" the man said. "Say that to me too!"

Liu Mancang suddenly remembered.

He was in the field at the time, worried that his third brother would marry a divorced woman with children, so his third brother chased and kicked him, and that's when he shouted that.

Some people said he was making a wish.

I can't believe my wish came true in just a few days.

Upon hearing this, the others also remembered, and regardless of whether it was true or false, they started nagging Liu Mancang to repeat it a few more times.

The excitement lasted until almost noon.

Because in those days, people generally didn't have enough to eat, it wasn't easy to have a feast where everyone could eat as much as they wanted. No one was polite to each other, and the plates were so full they looked like they had been washed.

There were no leftovers or anything like that.

When Li Aihua and the others left, they took the bowls, chopsticks, tables, chairs, and benches with them, saving Xie Zhuo the trouble of returning them.

After the lively atmosphere in the courtyard subsided, it became quiet again.

Xu Yan took a broom to sweep the trash in the yard, but before she could even start, Xie Zhuo stopped her.

“I’ll do it,” Xie Zhuo said.

"Not drunk?" Xu Yan glanced at him.

"No," Xie Zhuo replied calmly.

Then, as I walked into the yard, I almost crashed headfirst into the wall.

When Xu Yan rushed over to help him, he frowned, touched the wall, and then asked, "How can this wall move?"

His expression was very serious, and his tone was very earnest.

Xu Yan couldn't help but chuckle and chimed in, "Indeed, this wall is a bit strange. How about we sweep it again tomorrow?"

Da Bao and Xiao Bao were sitting under the pear tree eating candy when they heard their third uncle and aunt talking. They glanced at the wall and said in their childish voices, "The wall didn't move. It's right there."

Xu Yan smiled again.

But the next second she couldn't laugh anymore, and she turned around in shock to look at Xie Zhuo, whose lips were still very close to her face.

"You..." She opened her mouth, but couldn't think of anything to say for a long time.

Xie Zhuo spoke first, "Try smiling again."
