Yun Duan reacted and wanted to go up and fight, but Huo Qiu Sheng stopped her in time and whispered in her ear, "This is Third Aunt."
Yun Duan shook off Huo Qiu Sheng's hand that was restraining her, "Even husband and wife fighting is not allowed! That's domestic violence."
"No, no, it's just a misunderstanding."
"Beating is affection, scolding is love."
Huo Guangrong supported his sore butt and stood up shakily, forcing a smile on his face.
Yunduan was shocked. It was rare to find a country man in this era who was so tolerant of his wife. Only he could make such a joke in front of his nephew and his nephew's girlfriend even after being beaten.
Huo Guangrong turned to Chen Jinhua and said:
"Why are you angry with the child?"
"How old was Qiu Sheng then? Besides, Qiu Sheng's wife made a fortune, opened three factories, and became a big boss!"
"I heard you bought a car! How long did it take you to drive here?"
Chen Jinhua smiled,
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Where is the car parked? You two nephews have grown up and have never ridden in a car. Let us take advantage of it and ride in one too."
Yunduan was speechless and glanced at Huo Qiusheng.
Huo Qiusheng smiled and said to Chen Jinhua and his wife:
"You know who my mother is, don't you? You believe her too."
"Really? Your mother also said that your wife wanted to build a school for the village."
"Several people from the village came to your mother with things in their hands, saying that once the school is repaired, they want someone from their family to be a teacher."
"If I can't be a teacher, I'll find a job in school."
"Your mother agreed immediately."
Huo Qiu Sheng was overwhelmed by what he heard. His mother's habit of bragging came back again.
Yunduan was even more speechless.
At that time, she just told Yin Meizi that when she had money, she would go to the village to build a school. She didn't expect Yin Meizi to brag like this when she returned to the village.
Now this situation...
She leaned close to Huo Qiu Sheng's ear and whispered, "Handle it yourself." Then she quietly stepped aside.
Huo Qiusheng, who was fighting alone, faced the expectant gazes of his third aunt and uncle and said helplessly, "What a misunderstanding."
"So your wife didn't get rich, she's a pauper."
"How much money can she, a girl in her early twenties, have?"
Chen Jinhua snorted coldly and pointed towards the door, "Goodbye."
Huo Guangrong hurriedly pulled back her hand that was about to see the guest off, and looked at Yunduan and Huo Qiusheng, "Your Third Aunt just loves to joke around."
"Don't take it seriously. Don't take it seriously."
"Please sit down for a moment. I have something to say to your Third Aunt."
Huo Qiusheng and Yunduan smiled and nodded
When the door curtain was lifted, Huo Guangrong was seen pulling Chen Jinhua into the inner room.
Yunduan found a table and sat down casually. He heard crackling sounds coming from the inner room, and could faintly hear quarrels and scolding.
The tea is poured into the teacup in the clouds.
Yunduan raised her eyes to look at Huo Qiusheng who was pouring tea for her with the necklace, and saw the peaceful life in his eyes.
"Aunt and Uncle are arguing so fiercely in there, they might even start fighting. Aren't you worried?"
Huo Qiusheng put the teapot on the table and smiled.
"Don't worry, my Third Aunt is very measured in beating people, otherwise my Third Uncle would have been beaten to death over the years."
"They have their own way of getting along with each other as a couple. It will be fine soon."
"Have some tea first," Huo Qiusheng said, raising his chin again and motioning Yunduan to look at the white chalk writing on the small blackboard opposite. It read:
Salty rice cakes, rice noodles, Huazhou sweet soup, boiled chicken, boiled pork knuckles, fried oysters...
Yunduan laughed, "Only children make choices. I want them all!"
Huo Qiusheng said lovingly, "Okay, if you can't finish it, pack it up."
After a while, Huo Guangrong and Chen Jinhua came out.
Yunduan noticed that Huo Guangrong's right eye had turned into a panda eye, and when he looked at Chen Jinhua, he saw that her hair was a little messy.
I felt complicated for a moment.
It's rare for a couple to maintain a relationship like this.
The two of them must have discussed it in the inner room. Chen Jinhua didn't say anything else and even helped to cook.
When leaving, Huo Guangrong took out the wad of money and said it was a red envelope for meeting, and insisted that Yunduan accept it, saying:
"If you don't accept it, you're looking down on me, your third uncle!"
Yunduan looked at his panda eyes and with mixed feelings, he retracted his gaze.
Huo Qiusheng said, "Uncle San, Yunduan and I will get married on the eighth day of the first lunar month. You and Aunt San will come back for the wedding banquet."
"I won't go to the wedding, so as to avoid a quarrel when I get home."
"It makes everyone unhappy." Uncle San raised his hand and patted Huo Qiusheng's arm, "After all, getting married should be a happy occasion."
"Your Third Aunt and I are very happy that you can bring your wife to visit."
"Don't look at your Third Aunt's unwillingness. She's actually very happy to see you bring your wife here."
Then he leaned close to Huo Qiu Sheng's ear, covered his mouth and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Huo Qiu Sheng looked at Huo Guangrong in surprise, and then the two smiled at each other.
Yunduan and Huo Qiusheng left the restaurant together and went to the nearby vegetable market.
Along the way, Huo Qiusheng kept asking Yunduan: "Do you like celery?"
"Do you want eggplant?"
"Do you want to eat fish?"
“…”
Yunduan didn't feel tired before, but now he's full and feels sleepy after walking for a while. He yawns and says casually:
"I'm fine with either. Just buy whatever you like."
Huo Qiusheng looked at her yawning and smiled.
"I've almost finished shopping. I already have chicken, duck, and pork at home, so I won't buy any more meat."
"Let's go back by car."
Yunduan nodded, "Finally, I can go to your house. How long will the car ride take?"
Huo Qiusheng said, "About an hour."
