Mei Xiangcao glanced at the wound on Fu Yunqi's face and said, "He's injured. It will probably take a few days to heal."

"It's okay, they're just minor issues."

As they were talking, they could hear the slurping sounds and cries of "ouch" from people who burned their mouths with hot rice. The expressions and movements of those people were so funny that Fu Yunqi couldn't stop smiling.

In order to eat faster, they would almost pull out their heads and stuff the food directly into their stomachs so that they can put it back into the bowl.

Mei Xiangcao warned Jiang Yang: "Don't eat so fast, be careful not to burn yourself."

Jiang Yang, who was eating at a normal speed, was suddenly called out by Mei Xiangcao. He looked at Mei Xiangcao in confusion: "Mom, why did you only remind me and not my brother and Tingting? It's as if I'm the only one who's poor."

"Because you just said you want to eat three big bowls."

Jiang Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I'm taking it easy. If I can't finish three bowls, I won't eat them. I won't force myself to eat them."

Fu Yunqi said to Mei Xiangcao, "Auntie, I think our countryside is actually quite nice. Look, even having a meal can be so lively."

"That's right. Back when we were eating in the cafeteria, it was always bustling."

Fu Yunqi felt a little regretful, "Why didn't I come here then?"

"It's been more than ten years since then. You were still young then, and you probably didn't even know what a rural area was."

While Mei Xiangcao was chatting with Fu Yunqi, she was seen by the women who had previously discussed her and Fu Yunqi. One of them, Zhang Lai Di, said, "Hey, hey, look, Mei Xiangcao is with that pretty boy again. He's really got her. Did you see it just now? It was the pretty boy who took the initiative to approach her."

"Oh my, when she was young, she was the most beautiful girl in the village. That's a nice way of putting it. To put it bluntly, she was a slutty vixen. She was just showing her true nature." Zhao Xianglan said.

"If you say she's only been raising three children these past few years and hasn't found a man, no one would believe it. On the surface, she looks like a heroine, but she chased away several bachelors who tried to date her. I don't know how many men she's slept with privately, but she rarely gets to know them."

"I don't like pretty boys even at my age. The key point is that I think that pretty boy is more than enough for a virgin girl. How could he fall for Mei Xiangcao? He's blind."

"They say that Mei Xiangcao has some tricks up her sleeve. No matter how fair-skinned or young a pretty boy is, he'll probably have to take off his pants when he gets in front of her."

"Why don't we keep a close eye on Mei Xiangcao so we can catch them if they have an affair."

"Okay, okay, it's settled. That's it."

Mei Xiangcao, who was eating on the other side, didn't notice them at all. Fu Yunqi accidentally saw them pointing in their direction and said to her, "Auntie, who are those three people? They were looking at us and seemed to be saying something."

Mei Xiangcao also glanced at the three women, not paying much attention: "Three chattering women, just ignore them."

Since Jiang Dahe suddenly disappeared more than ten years ago, leaving her and her three children behind, others have treated her as a widow.

There is always gossip about a widow. She raised three children alone and refused to remarry. There were more and more people talking about her, and she was tired of hearing the gossip.

As long as they don't interfere with her life, she simply pretends not to hear them.

After a while, they had only finished half of their meal. Some of the people who ran to the big pot to eat the first bowl came back with an empty bowl and looked frustrated.

Fu Yunqi looked here and there with his gossipy eyes, and suddenly, there was a noise not far away.

“Puff! Puff! Puff!”

"Liu Zhaodi, why are you spitting in my bowl? There's your saliva in it. I won't eat it anymore. You eat it."

"Hahaha, if you don't want to eat it, forget it. I'll eat it. If any of you think it's dirty and don't want to eat it, give it to me."

Although some of the things Fu Yunqi heard were strange, he still laughed out loud.

He felt his pocket and realized he didn't bring any melon seeds with him today, so he could only eat the melon while drinking porridge.

After dinner, everyone was about to disperse when a jeep suddenly drove over. Everyone who had seen this jeep yesterday recognized it; it was a car from the county public security bureau.
