After Xu Jianguo said hello to Li Erniu and Wang Yan, he followed Li Mancang back to his home.

Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian went into the house and picked up Wenwen who was still sleeping soundly. Then, after saying hello to Zhang Meijuan, Wang Erni and others, the family walked out of Li Mancang's yard and prepared to return home.

Before leaving, Li Mancang grabbed Xu Jianguo and asked him to bring his whole family over for breakfast tomorrow morning.

But after thinking it over, Xu Jianguo said, "Uncle Mancang, we won't come to your place for dinner tomorrow morning. I brought some noodles in my bag, so we can just cook some at home tomorrow. Besides, we've been traveling for several days, so I plan to let the children sleep a little longer."

"Well, Binhai isn't close to us, so we really should take a break. There's nothing going on in the village lately anyway, so you can come over anytime you want!"

"Okay! Oh, there's one more thing. When I came back today, I went to the commune to report my itinerary. I chatted with the commune president for a while. He said that he and the secretary are planning to come to our village tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I got it. I'll make some arrangements later. Go back and get some rest!"

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when they returned home. As it was too late, Xu Jianguo decided to wait until tomorrow morning to clean up, and the whole family would sleep in the space tonight.

…

No words were spoken that night.

At six o'clock the next morning, Xu Jianguo woke up from his sleep on time. He looked at Wen Sitian and Wenwen beside him, sat up gently from the bed, then turned over and got up. After quietly putting on his clothes, he went to the bathroom to wash up, then left the courtyard and walked towards the space medicine garden.

Since he had to treat Li Dashan today, he needed to go and pick up the medicine in advance.

Due to the speed of time, the spatial medicine garden no longer looked like it did when it was first built. Xu Jianguo walked in the medicine garden as if he was in the mountains.

In order to imitate the original growing environment of herbs as much as possible, Fu Bo deliberately brought back some large stones and made the entire medicine garden closer to its original ecology.

Xu Jianguo spent more than half an hour collecting all the necessary herbs before returning to the courtyard.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the family woke up to the loud crying of Wenwen. Xu Jianguo, who was busy in the kitchen, ran into the house. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Wen Sitian hugging Wenwen and feeding her with sleepy eyes.

"Jianguo, what time is it?"

"It's just nine o'clock. There's nothing to do today. Don't worry. Just sleep a little longer if you're tired."

"No, I can't sleep now. I'm worried that someone will come to visit my house. I have to warm the stove and let the chimney smoke on the first day I come back."

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Xu Jianguo said helplessly.

I have to admit that what Wen Sitian said makes sense. There really is such a rule in Sandaliang Village.

When he was a child, he heard from the old people that after returning home from a long journey, he must cook a meal at home. After the meal is cooked, a separate bowl should be placed on the stove and chopsticks should be placed. The old people said that this is called warming the stove and it is for worshiping the Kitchen God.

Don't underestimate the Kitchen God. In rural areas, the Kitchen God, the Door God and the Land God are all highly respected by people.

In the past, the elders also said that smashing pots and sealing doors were taboos. If two families had a conflict, and one family smashed the other family's pot, or blocked the other family's door with something, then the relationship between the two families would become irreconcilable and there would be no possibility of adjustment.

In fact, the "smashing the pot and sealing the door" mentioned here refers to disrespecting the Kitchen God and the door gods, which will bring bad consequences to one's family.

After feeding the three maids, Wen Sitian went to their rooms and woke them up. Then, after the four sisters-in-law spent twenty minutes washing up, the family left the space and returned home.

Two years after leaving home, nothing has changed except a layer of dust on the furniture.

After washing up, Xiao Funniu was fully revived. Seeing that she was back in a familiar place, her tour guide attributes were activated again. She immediately started to introduce Daya and Erya.

Xiao Hei rarely stopped staying by Wen Wen's side. He touched the fish and followed the three girls around the house and yard.

Xu Jianguo took out an enamel basin and a rag from the space, first wiped the kang in the east room, and then took out two thick quilts and spread them out. After Wen Sitian put them firmly on the kang, the couple began to clean the house together.

Time passed quickly. At around ten o'clock in the morning, the Xu family's old house was cleaned up. Du Yu had already started busying himself in the main room, and wisps of smoke were rising from the chimney on the eaves.

The three girls were already hungry and asked several times when they would eat. Xu Jianguo had no choice but to give each of them a bag of biscuits and a box of milk before sending them away.

After the family had brunch, they left home holding Wenwen and walked towards Li Dashan's house.

The scenery of Sandaliang Village in October is very beautiful. Because it is surrounded by mountains, the emerald green mountains are mixed with red and yellow leaves, which is matched with the blue sky and white clouds, which is very beautiful.

When they arrived at Li Dashan's house, Li Xin was chopping firewood in the yard. Today was the day when Li Mancang's family took care of the old man, so the whole family came over after breakfast.

"Jianguo, Xiaowen!" Li Xin put down the axe in his hand and said with a grin.

"Brother Jinzi!" the couple replied.

"Where's Uncle Mancang?"

"My father and mother are in the house!"

"Okay, Brother Jinzi, I'll go in and see the old man first!"

"good!"

The three girls greeted Li Xin obediently, then followed their brother and sister-in-law into the house.
