As the sun sets, most of the shops in the market have closed their stalls, and some are preparing to close their doors.

The common people going to the market walked in groups towards their homes, just like the swallows returning to their nests.

Women, children, and men carrying poles are quite a warm scene.

Walking out from the market, I saw cattle gnawing grass in the field and making a "moo" sound.

Forest trees, ridges of fields, old trees with dead vines and dusky crows...

Before the coolness of the autumn night had time to dissipate the warmth, Huang Tinghui took the little girl and rushed towards the place agreed with Old Man Liu.

"Bah, bah, bah..."

Old man Liu was leaning on the bullock cart, smoking a cigarette with his mouth open. He squinted and saw Huang Tinghui pulling Wu Feilian towards this side.

The old man didn't move. He just said lightly: "It's getting dark now, so you guys should know how to come back!"

Full of ridicule, even Huang Tinghui couldn't help coughing twice to cover up his embarrassment.

"Uncle Liu, I forgot the time for a moment!" Huang Tinghui explained.

"If it hadn't been for Erzhu Qian's warning and Wan's instructions, the old man wouldn't have waited here for so long!" Old man Liu turned over, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

Huang Tinghui quickly winked at the little girl, and the cute little girl calmed down.

"Oh!" Wu Feilian nodded in response, and she quickly took out a bottle of wine and handed it to Uncle Liu.

"This is?"

Uncle Liu looked at Huang Tinghui and Wu Feilian and asked.

"I passed by a winery and smelled the aroma of the wine. I couldn't help it, so I bought some to try!"

Huang Tinghui replied with a smile.

Old man Liu was not polite, grabbed the pot of wine and tasted it, and said: "Good wine, the wine in this market is quite good!"

"I haven't drank it for several years. My mother-in-law is very strict, so there's not much chance of getting contaminated by this stuff!"

With that said, the old man drank the wine in the pot.

The little old man's face quickly turned red. He waved the whip in his hand and threw it down with a "snap".

"Let's go!"

The old cow barked "moo" and carried Huang Tinghui, Wu Feilian and the little old man slowly towards the direction of Huangjiacun.

When we approached Huangjia Village, the sky had completely darkened, and torches lit up in the distance, as if the night was alight.

Old man Liu drove the bullock cart toward the torch.

"What took so long?" Uncle Erzhu, who was holding the torch, frowned and asked Huang Tinghui, Old Man Liu and Wu Feilian.

"I forgot the time for a moment!" Huang Tinghui had no choice but to rub his head and explain again.

On the other side, Old Man Liu also said hello to Uncle Erzhu, "Man, I delivered it to you!"

"I'm going home first. I'll be late and my mother-in-law will lose her temper again!" After Old Man Liu finished speaking, he waved the long whip in his hand and swung it at the old cow.

The old cow was in pain, so it dragged the cart forward slowly!

At this time, Uncle Erzhu took a look at the things that Huang Tinghui and the little girl had bought, "There are still many things that I haven't bought yet. It's because I didn't think much about it at the time!"

"You two went to buy things, how could you possibly buy everything?"

"Tomorrow, let your aunt go and do some shopping!" As he said that, Uncle Erzhu patted his head again, "By the way, you two haven't had dinner yet, right?"

"We'll go back and cook right now!" Huang Tinghui replied quickly.

“It’s already so dark, why should we go home to eat?”

"Your aunt has cooked a lot of food today, so we can eat together!" Uncle Erzhu warmly invited.

Huang Tinghui was a little confused when he heard Uncle Erzhu say this.

Thinking of his aunt's black face, he didn't want to get into trouble with him if Uncle Erzhu and his aunt quarreled again because of their own affairs.

That is your own sin.

However, Uncle Erzhu, who had a straightforward temperament, obviously would not think so much. He could not tolerate Huang Tinghui's refusal and pulled Huang Tinghui towards his home.

Seeing that Huang Tinghui was stubborn, he smiled bitterly and could only let Uncle Erzhu control him.

There's no way he can live his whole life without dealing with his aunt, right?

The little girl didn't know the situation. At the invitation of Uncle Erzhu, the little girl followed Uncle Erzhu and Huang Tinghui and walked to Uncle Erzhu's house.

"Madam, I'm back!" Uncle Erzhu opened the door and shouted to his wife who was busy inside.

"Get ready, dinner is about to begin!"

"I am a father of two children. I haven't decided yet, and all I want to do is run outside all day long!"

The rosin in the kitchen was burning and making a "crackling" sound. While taking care of the two little ones, the aunt said to Uncle Erzhu.

"Madam, do you see who I brought back?" Uncle Erzhu opened the kitchen door and said with a smile to his wife.

The aunt glanced at Huang Tinghui and Wu Feilian, and the corners of her mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything in the end.

"Come in, it's very cold outside!"

"It's late at night!" The aunt wiped her hands, turned around and walked into the inner room.

The scene that Huang Tinghui expected to be kicked out did not happen. After all, my aunt hated that second-rate Huang Tinghui extremely.

"Let me do it!"

"Xiaolian!"

Huang Tinghui called out, and the little girl hurried forward to help.

After a while, several dishes were placed on the table.

Today's dishes are quite good, including wild boar meat and fresh fish, and my aunt even fried a few wild eggs.

"Mom, I want to eat eggs!" Huang Tinghui's cousin pointed to the yellow scrambled eggs and said to his mother.

"good!"

Huang Tinghui's aunt picked up a small piece of egg and put it into her youngest son's bowl.

Perhaps because he thought the eggs in his bowl were a little too small, the boy pouted his mouth and said dissatisfiedly to his mother: "Mom, I want more!"

When the aunt heard this, her face suddenly turned ugly, "All these eggs are yours?"

"No one else needs to eat?"

"You can't just think about yourself!"

"Do you understand?" Auntie shouted loudly.

The boy was so frightened that he no longer dared to act coquettishly in front of his mother.

Not to mention that kid, even Huang Tinghui and Wu Feilian were shocked.

"I heard from Erzhu that you have restrained yourself a lot now!"

"When a man gets married, he should also shoulder the burden. Think about your own family. These words should have been said to you by your mother!"

"But your miserable mother is not here, so my aunt can only speak to you on behalf of your miserable mother!"

"My aunt is a peasant woman, and her words are always unpleasant!"

"But Tinghui, it's not that Auntie doesn't like you. She always wants to cause trouble for you. If she really wants to cause trouble for you, I won't turn a blind eye to your Uncle Erzhu's secret help.

Got it!"

"Your parents are kind to my aunt, and my aunt will remember it in her heart!"

"Auntie is not heartless, but she wants to see you take the right path!"

"Let's eat first. After dinner, Auntie will give you and your new wife something!"

After saying that, the aunt pulled the eggs into three parts, gave one to her eldest daughter, and divided the other two between Huang Tinghui and Wu Feilian.

Uncle Erzhu and Huang Tinghui looked at her dumbfounded, with expressions of disbelief and disbelief on their faces.

"Stop looking?"

"Eat quickly, the food is cold and it won't taste good!" Auntie saw Huang Tinghui and others looking at her, and she hurriedly urged.
