Seeing that everyone agreed, Wang Feng said, "Then I'll ask Sister Jiang tomorrow and see what she says. If she has no objection, we'll set it on this week's rest day."
After that, Wang Feng happily carried his basin and went to the backyard to fetch water...
On the other side, in the courtyard of Nanqiao and Shen Nian...
“Niannian, go get some hot water, and leave the dumplings to me!” Nanqiao was a little disgusted with the dumplings Shen Nian made, so he stopped her from making them.
Chen Nian looked at Nanqiao's plump dumplings with some sadness, and then looked at her own dumplings with stuffing exposed everywhere.
She said sadly, "I clearly followed your steps, how can I be so ugly? Not only is it ugly, but it also gives away the truth..."
“It’s okay, go get some hot water, I’ll take the rest. We can’t eat much, it’ll be quick,” Nanqiao said to comfort Shen Nian
"Okay then, Qiaoqiao, just tell me what you need me to do, I'll do it for you." Shen Nian got up, washed the flour off his hands, and went to the kitchen to get some hot water.
When Su Mu came over, he saw Nanqiao sitting alone in the yard making dumplings.
Under the dim light in the courtyard, the girl's beautiful face became more radiant, with a faint yellow halo around her body. The simple clothes she wore were very beautiful and elegant.
Looking at Nanqiao like this, Su Mu was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how to say what he had thought of. It seemed that no matter what he said, it would be a blasphemy to the girl.
Nanqiao, who was making dumplings, seemed to notice someone was looking at her. She looked out of the yard and saw no one there. She lowered her head and continued making dumplings.
Su Mu, who was hiding behind the wall outside the courtyard, stood there for a long time.
He didn't have the courage to come out until the two of them started eating. He could only sigh slightly and return to the educated youth center in a somewhat dejected manner.
Had trouble sleeping the whole night...
On the other hand, Sheng Yanchuan had been feeling mixed emotions since he returned the kettle to Su Mu. He was happy that Nan Qiao didn't have Su Mu's things, but he was also worried about what Su Mu said.
Regardless of whether Sheng Yanchuan agrees or not, Su Mu's words are true: "Nanqiao will return to the city, and her parents will not allow her to stay here."
Thinking of this, Sheng Yanchuan sighed. When he returned home, the Sheng family was having dinner.
When Aunt Xiumei saw him coming back, she said to him, "It's time for dinner. Go to the kitchen to get some bowls and chopsticks and eat quickly."
Sheng Yanchuan glanced at the food on the table. He was very melancholy now, so he had no mood to eat. So he said, "I'm not hungry, you guys eat."
Then he turned back to his room and closed the door.
"This damn boy, how can he not be hungry after working all day?" Uncle Sheng was about to grab the man while banging his pipe, but was held down by Aunt Xiumei.
"Eat your meal, I'll bring it to him later."
"Send it over, he's already an adult, do you want to feed him?" Uncle Sheng's eyes widened with anger, and he did not approve of his daughter-in-law's behavior.
Aunt Xiumei didn't tolerate his male chauvinism. She finished the last bite of rice in her bowl, put the bowl down, and said, "Big brother, wife, clear the bowls and chopsticks after you've finished eating."
Aunt Xiumei's eldest daughter-in-law looked at the half bowl of rice in front of her father-in-law, not knowing what to do for a moment, and secretly pulled off the corner of her husband's clothes, thinking of asking him to help finish it.
Why are they dragging her into this fight?
"Dad, the food is getting cold, how do you feel about eating?" The eldest brother of the Sheng family knew what his family was thinking, so he opened his mouth to give everyone a way out.
Uncle Sheng saw his son come to the rescue, so he stopped glaring at his wife and started eating obediently.
How can I not feel sorry for my own son? I am worried that he will not be able to bear the pain after working all day without eating. My wife is still angry with him...
Uncle Sheng feels very aggrieved
When the eldest daughter-in-law of the Sheng family saw her father-in-law eating, her mother-in-law stopped asking her to wash the dishes and took a breath. Her mother-in-law was used to being strong and always had her way. She was really worried that she would be asked to clean up her father-in-law's dishes today, but it would be inappropriate whether she cleaned up the dishes or not.
After the Sheng family finished their meal, the eldest daughter-in-law collected the dishes and went to wash them, while Aunt Xiumei went to the kitchen to get a bowl of rice for her youngest son.
As soon as Aunt Xiumei stood up, she heard Uncle Sheng, who was sitting and fiddling with his pipe, say, "Give him an egg. How can such a big boy not have some nutrition?"
"How could I not know?" Aunt Xiumei turned around and went to the kitchen, carrying a bowl of rice to the door of Sheng Yanchuan's house.
When Aunt Xiumei pushed the door open, Sheng Yanchuan was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking. She put the food on the table, turned around and closed the door, then sat down next to Sheng Yanchuan.
"Chuanzi, eat before you go to sleep. You can't go to bed without eating." She found that the box of sunburn ointment was missing today. She guessed that her youngest son must have given it to Nan Yatou. She wanted to ask her son what he was thinking when she came back in the evening.
But before she had time to ask, her youngest son came back and became so depressed.
Was it rejected? Aunt Xiumei guessed
Aunt Xiumei didn't wait for Sheng Yanchuan's answer after she finished speaking, so she asked tentatively, "Son, did you go to deliver medicine to Nan Yatou?"
Sheng Yanchuan nodded when he heard this, but remained silent.
"That was confiscated by Nan Yatou?"
"I received it," Sheng Yanchuan replied.
"What did you say to Nan Yatou? Was she rejected?" Aunt Xiumei asked further.
Sheng Yanchuan was startled when he heard this, and after a long sigh, he said, "I didn't say anything to her, and there was no rejection."
"Then why are you so sad?" Aunt Xiumei was puzzled. She hadn't said anything and wasn't rejected, so why was she still like this?
"Mom, a girl like Nanqiao should look down on people like us in the village, right?" Sheng Yanchuan said in a depressed tone.
