“Hmm…it’s delicious, really delicious…” Tian Xiaocao couldn’t wait to take a bite of the shepherd’s purse scrambled eggs as soon as the food was on the table. The soft and tender eggs burst in her mouth.
At first, when Tian Xiaocao saw her sister-in-law beat two eggs and then two more eggs, she felt so distressed that she cried. Selling a pound of eggs could buy salt for half a year and oil for one month.
Wen Guan lowered her eyes and smiled slightly, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of vegetable and a bite of steamed bun, chewing slowly and feeling a special taste in her heart.
After dinner, Wen Guan did not compete with Tian Xiaocao for the job of delivering meals. She had to hurry to pick up the wild vegetables in the space and find time to go to the county town to see if there were any business opportunities to make some money.
The sun gradually sets, quietly hiding in the gaps between the green hills and trees, revealing half of the red setting sun, and the afterglow of the sunset shines on the returning people.
"Hey, have you heard? There seems to be a problem in the marriage between Wen Wan and Chen Jianbing." Aunt Jing held a small hoe and whispered to the people around her.
"Jing Da Niu, when I was picking vegetables early in the morning, I saw Chen Jianbing's family carrying a basket into the Wen family. They must be going to visit Xiao Wan." Aunt Li spoke at the right time.
Aunt Jing looked like she knew the inside story, "You are wrong. I heard that the Chen family went to cancel the engagement."
Her mother's family is from the same village as the Chen family, so they know each other. She heard the news at noon and had been enduring it for the whole afternoon. She had long wanted to verify it.
"What...cancel the engagement..."
"No way, Wen Wan and that kid Chen Jianbing were engaged as children, and they got officially engaged the year before last. I've even eaten their wedding candy." Aunt Qing didn't believe it.
Aunt Jing got anxious and shouted, "If you don't believe me, let's go and have a look. The Chen family will come to the Wen family to pick up the marriage certificate this afternoon."
Before she could finish her words, someone had already dragged Aunt Qing towards Wen Dafu's home, determined to prove that she was the most well-informed person in the village.
Seeing this, Aunt Li said tentatively, "Why don't we go and take a look, before we really..." The rest of the words were left for everyone to think about.
Everyone nodded and ran forward quickly, watching the fun. When they met acquaintances who asked them about the incident, they would exaggerate what had just happened.
More and more people came. Some came to watch the fun, while others thought that if anyone needed help, family members would have to help each other. Even the village chief Liu Qingliang followed.
Aunt Li was laughing quietly behind her. She had definitely done what Yulan asked her to do.
However, thinking that most of the people who had just come were from the Wen family, and that there were few people from Liujiagou in the village, Aunt Li felt a little regretful.
In just ten minutes, a group of people rushed to Wen Dafu's house.
Chen Dongzi and Chen Jianbing stared at the entrance of the Wen family in amazement, and felt timid for a moment.
"Is it the Chen family that's here?" Aunt Li had sharp eyes and noticed that Chen Dongzi and the others had stopped. She leaned close to Aunt Jing's ear and asked softly.
When Aunt Jing heard this, she became alert. She turned around and shouted in delight, "Everyone, make way for the Chen family to come in."
Chen Jianbing had a fierce look on his face, stared at the enthusiastic eyes of the people on both sides, and strode forward with his head held high.
"Chen Jianbing, give me the thing." Wen Dafu stood at the gate of the yard with a hoe, making it clear that he would not let Chen Jianbing in.
