Sheng Xiping planned to take advantage of the Spring Festival holiday to prepare some more food to save for later.

So, after breakfast on the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Sheng Xiping went to find Wang Jianshe and the others, planning to go into the woods to set some traps or something.

See if we can catch pheasants, rabbits, or even roe deer or wild boars to use for our wedding banquet.

"Hey? Xiping, you're back? When did you get back? Yesterday afternoon?"

I thought you were going to stay in Songjianghe until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year and come back with Qinglan.

"You're really willing to leave your wife behind. Why come back so early?" Wang Jianshe teased Sheng Xiping when he saw him.

"We're just engaged, not married yet. How thick-skinned do I have to be to stay at the Zhou family's house for several days?"

Sheng Xiping rolled his eyes at Wang Jianshe, thinking, "Does he really think his skin is as thick as a city wall?"

Yes, he is indeed shameless, but it depends on who he's dealing with.

“I took the little train from Ma’anshan yesterday, but it broke down halfway and delayed me for several hours. I didn’t get home until dark last night.”

Wang Jianshe wasn't angry when he was rebuked; he just chuckled.

"Hey? You didn't get back until after dark last night?"

"Around six o'clock last night, I think there was a sound of wolves howling. Did you hear it?" Wang Jianshe suddenly remembered this.

Last night, the wolf's scream was heard throughout the entire forest. Everyone thought a wolf had come in and was quite frightened.

But then they heard nothing more, which puzzled everyone.

"Don't even mention it. Yesterday, on my way back from Ma'anshan, I encountered a wolf on the way."

I carried that wolf back with me. The scream you heard was my dad's agonizing howl as he fought the wolf.

Sheng Xiping didn't hide anything and told Wang Jianshe and the others the truth directly.
