Sun Dapeng wrote down the price of each item on it, and then calculated the total bill to be 128,300 yuan.

After Sun Dapeng finished the calculation, he handed it to Xia Jinnian to calculate again. Xia Jinnian said, "Brother Sun, that's right, now that the account has been calculated."

"If there's nothing else, we'll leave first. We'll meet at the trading location in the small woods outside the city at Qilipo at 8 pm. No waiting after your time."

Sun Dapeng: "Okay, Brother Xia, Brother Tang, take care. We will be there on time."

Xia Jinnian and Tang Shiyan walked out of the black market and came to an empty alley, then slipped into the space. After changing back into their clothes, they took their bicycles and left the space.

Tang Shiyan looked at the time and saw that it was almost noon. She had to go back quickly. She had promised Meng Huilan and Jiang Hua'an yesterday that she would go to their homes for lunch. If she didn't go, they would think too much.

"Jinnian, let's go back quickly. Didn't we promise Aunt Huilan and Captain Uncle to have dinner at their house yesterday? Don't keep them waiting for too long."

"Okay, Yanyan, let's go quickly."

Xia Jinnian rode his bicycle with Tang Shiyan and headed back to the village. An hour later, they arrived home.

Tang Shiyan took out the key and opened the door. Xia Jinnian moved the bicycle into the house. Tang Shiyan also took out a bag of brown sugar, a bottle of wine, and a handful of noodles from the space.

Although she brought some things to the captain and his family yesterday, it was to thank them for their care and help for her.

After she leaves, she will have to trouble them to help look after the house. People kindly invited them over for dinner, so they can't go empty-handed, right?

She also grabbed a handful of White Rabbit milk candies and put them in her pocket. If Yangyang, Erya and the others came running over happily and called her beautiful sister, how could she not appease them with some candies?

"Jinnian, let's take these things to the captain's house. We can't go to someone's house to eat empty-handed."

"Yes, Yanyan, let's go quickly and don't keep Aunt Huilan and the others waiting for too long."

The two of them took their things, locked the door, and walked towards the captain's house. At this time, everyone was cooking and eating at home, and no one knew that they were going to the captain's house for dinner.

Ten minutes later, the two of them arrived outside the captain's house. Meng Huilan was standing at the door, ready to call them.

Tang Shiyan: "Aunt Huilan, have you been waiting for a long time? Jinnian and I went to town for something and came back late, so we came here just now."

"Tang girl, Comrade Xia, you're here. It's not too late now. Your sisters Yuling and Qiutong are still cooking. I was just about to go over and call you when you came."

"Haha, Aunt Huilan, are you afraid that we won't come? Don't worry, if you ask us to eat something ready, we will definitely come. Just accept this little bit of food."

"Girl Tang, you brought so many things here yesterday. We can't accept these today. Please take them back later. It's embarrassing for us to bring things here every time you come here."

"Besides, you're married now and have a family. You can't spend money so lavishly."

"Even if you're rich, you can't do this. You'll have lots of money to spend when you have kids."

Xia Jinnian: "Aunt Huilan, since we've brought the things here, you should just accept them. It's not nice for others to see you pushing them around like this."

"Anyway, this little food doesn't cost much. Since you invited us to come over for dinner, we definitely won't come empty-handed. That would make us look like we have no manners at all."

"As for the money, don't worry, Aunt Huilan. I will work hard to earn money for Yanyan. Now we have a daughter-in-law who knows how to spend money."

"I'm motivated to make money and I'm happy. If she doesn't spend money lavishly, I'll feel sad and it'll make me feel like making money is meaningless."

"I know, Aunt Huilan, you're worried that my parents might have objections, thinking that Yanyan spends money lavishly and isn't suitable to be my daughter-in-law."

"Aunt Huilan, you're overthinking this. My parents are very open-minded people. They're afraid that I'll wrong Yanyan."

"They said that if Yanyan was wronged, they would only recognize me as their daughter-in-law and not their son."

Meng Huilan: "Comrade Xia, I saw your parents on the day of your wedding and felt that they were very nice and easy to get along with. They are not the kind of people who are obsessed with money and would only make things difficult for their daughter-in-law."

"It seems that Miss Tang is really blessed to be loved and tolerated by you and your family."

At this time, Yangyang and Erya ran out of the house, ran to Tang Shiyan and Xia Jinnian, took their hands and shouted:

"Beautiful sister, handsome brother, we heard your voices in the house. Let's go in and eat."

Xia Jinnian: "Okay, Yangyang, Erya, come here, I'll give you some candy. Share it with your brothers and sisters."

"Yeah, thank you handsome brother and beautiful sister, we will give it to our brothers and sisters to share."

Several people came into the house and sat around the dining table, and Meng Huilan's daughter-in-law Wu Yuling and Pan Qiutong brought over the prepared food.

When Tang Shiyan saw the dishes on the table, she thought that this meal alone would be enough to feed the captain's family for half a month.

There are pork, chicken, sausages, and eight or nine dishes with both meat and vegetables, and the portions are quite large.

Everyone else had a smile on their face, except Jiang Huaan's eldest daughter-in-law, Wu Yuling, who had a sour look on her face, as if someone owed her something.

Always looking at Tang Shiyan and Xia Jinnian with dissatisfaction, Tang Shiyan saw the displeasure on Wu Yuling's face as soon as she entered the door.

She thought to herself that it was just because she was beautiful and had found such a handsome partner, so he was jealous.

Anyway, she didn't care what other people's expressions were. It was the team leader and Aunt Huilan who asked them to come for dinner. The food they were eating belonged to the team leader and Aunt Huilan, not hers.

The captain's eldest son, Jiang Yunchuan, brought drinks and white wine and poured a glass for each person. Of course, the grown men drank the white wine, and the drinks were for the women and children.

Jiang Yunchuan: "Sister Tang, Comrade Xia, we don't have many dishes here. They're just simple meals. I don't know if they suit your taste."

"I hope you don't mind me. I'm a rough guy and I'm not very good at speaking. Since you, Sister Tang, will be following Comrade Xia to the army tomorrow, I wish you a safe journey and all the best."

Tang Shiyan: "Brother Yunchuan, look at what you are saying. I also grew up here."

"How could he dislike it? As a soldier, Jinnian certainly wouldn't dislike it. They don't have such a good life in the army."

"Every day it's just vegetarian food, pumpkin, potatoes, and greens. I'm sorry to have you spend so much money to make so many delicious meals."

"Brother Yunchuan, Brother Yunyu, my two sisters-in-law, Uncle Captain, Aunt Huilan, and Sister Shumeng, thank you for your care and help all along. I'd like to offer this drink to you."

Several people picked up their glasses and started drinking. The meal was finished after forty minutes. After Tang Shiyan and Xia Jinnian greeted the captain's family, they walked towards their own homes.
