Third aunt He Guimei and her son and one daughter returned from the old house in Hu Renhe.

"Uncle Zhang, thank you."

Lu Nian said in a slightly sweet voice.

Zhang Bo smiled and said, "Well, let's go back."

Uncle Zhang stared at He Guimei unhappily. This woman didn't even say thank you?

Otherwise, seeing Lu Nian's request, I would not bring them back in vain.

He Guimei looked very angry because she originally had a few dollars left, but she was bumped by someone when getting off the train and ended up losing all her money.

So naturally she had no money to take the ox cart.

Later, Lu Nian shamelessly asked Uncle Zhang to take them back to the village first, and then she would return the money for the ox cart ride to Uncle Zhang.

In the past, when Lu Nian had nothing to do, he would go and chat with Zhang Caiqin.

Zhang Bocai reluctantly agreed to send them back to the village first.

Otherwise, walking all the way into the mountains would make the three of them very tired.

Lu Jian said unhappily, "Mom, I'm hungry!"

He Guimei reached out and patted Lu Jian on the back: "I'm hungry too. Let's go back and get some sweet potatoes from the kiln first."

He Guimei said to Uncle Zhang, "Brother Zhang, I will pay you for the ox cart ride with sweet potatoes, okay?"

Zhang Bo said with a look of disgust: "Yes."

It's better than Ho Kwai-mei denying the debt.

Sweet potatoes are also food. In Henan, sweet potatoes are a must-have winter food for the family.

Now it's spring, and the sweet potatoes can no longer be kept in the cellar, so they have become fast-moving consumer goods.

If you don't eat them quickly, the sweet potatoes will rot when the weather gets warmer.

He Guimei glanced at Zhang Bo's anxious expression, and after a moment of embarrassment, she said, "Let's go home."

After returning home, He Guimei asked her son Lu Jian to dig a cellar and get the sweet potatoes.

After Lu Jian came, he covered the door of the sweet potato cellar. Then he picked some good-looking sweet potatoes without holes and gave them to Lu Nian to deliver to Uncle Zhang's house.

Lu Nian hurried to Uncle Zhang's house, where Uncle Zhang was giving Old Cow some wheat to eat.

"Uncle Zhang, these sweet potatoes my mother asked me to bring, shall we put them in the kitchen for you?"

Zhang Bo smiled and said, "Hey, 꿗."

Lu Nian walked to the kitchen and saw Zhang Caiqin cooking: "Sister Caiqin, you are at home."

"Nian Nian, are you back?"

Lu Nian smiled awkwardly: "Well, I'm back."

Zhang Caiqin looked at her and said, "It's good to be in our village. We don't have to worry about food and drink in the village. For example, we are not from the city and don't have a job in the city. It's better to work in the village and earn work points than in the city!"

Lu Nian nodded slightly: "Thank you Sister Caiqin for your guidance. I will go home first."

"Okay, go ahead."

Zhang Caiqin looked at Lu Nian, a ten-year-old girl who looked ordinary. She thought it would be bad if she set her goals too high.

The right way is to be down-to-earth and find a suitable family to live a stable life.

Zhang Caiqin thought of Lu Yan at this time, and couldn't help but have a hint of lust on her pretty face.

Soon the water in the pot boiled, pulling Zhang Caiqin's thoughts back to the man.

I immediately put the handmade noodles into the pot, followed by the fried sauerkraut and a handful of coriander.

In addition, Shen Shuan brought her a piece of wolf meat in the morning, which weighed a pound. Zhang Caiqin was reluctant to eat too much at once, so she picked up a few small pieces and boiled them in the pot.

The rest of the wolf meat was put into a bowl, covered tightly and placed in the cupboard.

At noon, after Zhang Caiqin cooked the noodles, Zhang Bo's eldest grandson Zhang Guigen and second grandson Zhang Guimin came.

The eldest grandson is from the eldest son’s home, and the second grandson is from the second son’s home.

Zhang Caiqin has not married yet, and she is still in charge of the family's food and drink at her parents' home.

At noon, the two nephews came back.

Everyone was served with wolf meat noodles, which were delicious.

"Aunt, you said the Lu family is really good to us, giving us wolf meat to eat!"

Uncle Zhang said in a tense voice, "Hey, you little idiots, if you eat meat at home in the future, don't tell your classmates at school, do you hear me?"

Zhang Caiqin also laughed and said, "Of course, if people listen to you and want to eat meat, and take the risk to go into the mountains, then we will be committing a great sin, don't you understand?"

The two nephews nodded: "We won't tell."

Zhang Bo said, "Caiqin, write a letter to Lu Yan and ask him to come home earlier. I will talk to him about marriage."

Uncle Zhang took a bite of the noodles, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to eat.

Looks like someone who is worried about something.

"Dad, didn't you say you would come back to get married? Why are you talking about marriage now?"

Zhang Bo's eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "Didn't you hear that He Guimei asked about Lu Yan's marriage proposal as soon as she returned to the village? I heard that He Guimei's sister-in-law is worried about finding a husband!"

Zhang Caiqin said angrily, "How dare He Guimei do this?"

"Humph, she doesn't even think about whether my Zhang family will agree?"

Zhang Caiqin raised her eyebrows slightly: "No wonder Lu Nian looked a little strange just now. She used to insist on chatting with me before leaving. You see, Lu Nian seemed to be avoiding me in front of her."

Zhang Caiqin was so angry that the noodles no longer smelled good to her.

"Eat quickly, I'll write a letter later."

"I don't want to eat anymore. I'm going to take the ox cart to the county to find Brother Yan."

"Silly girl, eat your noodles quickly, and we'll go to the Hong Bicycle Factory to look for you."

"Oh, okay!"

Zhang Caiqin didn't even bother to write a letter, so she decided to meet him and talk to him in person.

The family ate noodles with a slurping sound.

But everyone felt a little unhappy in their hearts.

On the way to school, Zhang Guigen said to his cousin Zhang Guimin, "Guimin, you said our aunt is going to marry Brother Yan, so when our aunt eats meat in the future, will she bring some for us?"

Gui Min nodded: "Of course, our aunt loves us the most!"

Zhang Bo took Zhang Caiqin to the county town in a ox cart.

When Lu Yan was trimming the branches, he heard someone tell him that a pretty-looking girl was looking for him at the door. He thought she was joking.

When he was skeptical, he said, "How could a girl choose me? I am just an ordinary citizen, how can I be so lucky?"

The visitor said, "That girl is Zhang Caiqin, don't you know her?"

Lu Yan immediately put down the pruning shears and said, "Hey, Caiqin is here. Master, I'm leaving now!"

Uncle Zhu smiled.

"Look, he's as anxious as a cat. Go, go!"

Lu Yan excitedly washed his hands: "Hey."

While washing my hands, I wiped my face and tidied my hair.

When Zhang Caiqin saw Lu Yan coming out of the factory, the thought in her heart turned into a real person.

"Brother Yan, you are finally here."

"Caiqin, why are you here?"

"I'll go and talk."

Zhang Caiqin looked shyly in the direction of the security guard.

It's not good to say it in front of outsiders.

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Let's go for a walk outside and talk while we walk."

Afterwards, Lu Yan wrote a request for leave to the security guard, and the leave was granted with three hours left.

Zhang Caiqin and Lu Yan were walking along the path here.

Uncle Zhang took advantage of this opportunity to go to the county to recruit people.

Zhang Caiqin told He Guimei that she wanted to tell Lu Yan about her sister.

Lu Yan scolded: "This third aunt is really too idealistic. Who would want her sister who harms others?"
