It's unclear whether it was because Chi Yu was getting married and Fang Shizhong had come as well.

The people of Chijia'ao, who used to go home to rest after dark, are all outside now.

It could be said that every household had torches lit in their yards, and some were even chatting over the fence.

The atmosphere is comparable to that of Chinese New Year.

Chi Yu and his companions were heading back, and they would have to pass by many houses along the way.

The people of Chijia'ao naturally saw the potatoes they were carrying back.

Their eyes widened, filled with curiosity and excitement.

They also remembered that Chi Yu said he would give them high-yield, drought-resistant crops.

I suppose it's those things they brought back?

However, that's not much; is it enough for them to share?

Although they were curious, they didn't approach and ask at that moment.

The couple is getting married tomorrow, and they've been busy out all day. They can't be the kind of people who don't know their place.

Since Xiaoyu said she would give it, she definitely will!

Chi Yu didn't go home; instead, she passed by the third house and went straight there.

Shen Yejun learned from Liu Mei that Chi Yu was coming to stay tonight, so he prepared the room that had been assigned to them early in the morning.

Not only that, but there was also some water boiling in the iron pot in the kitchen.

When Chi Yu came in, smelling of sweat, she hurried to greet him.

"Auntie, it's getting late. Why don't you take a bath first, and I'll go make you something to eat?"

By the way, your sister-in-law brought over a bowl of dumplings earlier. Are you planning to eat dumplings, or something else?

I've also prepared some noodles. If you want some, I'll make you some right away.

It has to be said that when Shen Yejun truly wants to get close to someone, her sincerity is so overwhelming that it's hard to refuse.

It's hot, and Chi Yu has been going up and down the mountain, plus he was busy in the space during the day, so he's really exhausted right now.

Upon hearing this, she said, "It's not too late now, Ye Jun, take the dumplings to your mother's house so that the elderly and children there can have a taste."

I'll take a shower now. I'll eat whatever's available at home; you don't need to cook anything special.

By the way, has my wedding dress for tomorrow been delivered yet?

Shen Yejun knew that Liu Lingling had sent over twenty dumplings.

Hearing Chi Yu's words, she felt a warm glow inside.

These days, only my aunt would be willing to use white bread to make dumplings, and with such a generous amount of meat filling.

Even during the Lunar New Year, her family wouldn't do such a thing.

However, just a few days ago, thanks to my aunt, we finally had some meat at home.

No need for dumplings today.

Thinking this, she said, "Auntie, my parents have already eaten by this time."

If I eat now, I'm afraid I'll get indigestion.

In this sweltering heat, things don't keep well; I'm afraid they'll turn sour by tomorrow.

Auntie, go take a shower first, and have some dumplings to tide you over later.

"Oh, by the way, the wedding dress has arrived. My aunt brought it herself, and it's in your room, little sister."

As he spoke, Shen Yejun pointed to the room he had prepared for Chi Yu.

Finally, they went into the kitchen, carried a large wooden basin of water out, and went into the bathroom next door.

This bathroom was something she had specifically asked Ikegi to build because she felt it was inconvenient to take a bath.

After putting the wooden basin in, she went back to her room and brought out a handkerchief that she hadn't used yet.

"Auntie, your husband and two brothers-in-law have gone out. Go wash up first, I'll watch over things here for you."

Chi Yu didn't say anything more, but went into the room that Chen Yejun had arranged for her.

Then, she took out her beloved summer dress from the bundle placed on the bed.

When she came out again, she went into the bathroom.
