Lin Manqing left, but Pei Zheng was still there, accepting the "scrutiny" of the villagers.

The people sitting at the table with Pei Zheng were studying abroad, but because the Chinese New Year was approaching recently, they came back during the holiday.

"Brother-in-law, how did you and my sister meet?"

Everyone present looked at him curiously, and the person sitting next to him asked before anyone else.

When Pei Zheng heard him calling him brother-in-law, he felt as good as drinking a can of ice sprite on a hot summer day.

He resisted the urge to laugh out loud, tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth that were about to rise, and pretended not to care.

"I used to be classmates with your sister."

"Wow, is it you who is chasing my sister, or is it my sister who is chasing you?"

"It was your sister that I pursued. I fell in love with her at first sight."

Pei Zheng saw that the people present were quite young and had a certain understanding of love and love, so he spoke without thinking deeply.

When he talked about Lin Manqing, whom he was chasing, he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Anyone could see that he liked Lin Manqing.

"Wow, it's so romantic. Remember to invite us when you get married in the future."

"sure."

The people in the village set up the banquet and served the food very quickly. Almost everyone who came to the banquet knew each other, so there was nothing to be particular about. After finishing the meal at the previous table, they tidied it up randomly, put on a new tablecloth, and then the food was served.

The dishes served today are naturally not as good as those served at the official banquet. There are only two dishes today, one is pork stew in a large pot, and the other is pork stew with cabbage.

Pei Zheng watched the dishes being served and felt very unappetized. He had never seen such a simple meal before today.

While others were eating, he even thought that this was probably the kind of simple meal mentioned in the book.

When there are more people, the food is cooked faster. When the first person at Pei Zheng's table put down his bowl, Pei Zheng followed him and put down his bowl.

He didn't understand the local rules, and he didn't know whether he should sit down and wait for everyone to finish eating before leaving. But he saw someone leaving as soon as they put down their bowls. He probably didn't have such strict dining rules, so he put down his bowls and left. He left to find Lin Manqing.

Lin Manqing's life here was very comfortable. She didn't have to worry about anything. Someone was washing the bowls she had eaten. She originally wanted to join in, but was driven away by the adults in the village.

She had no choice but to follow the others and eat melon seeds.

When Pei Zheng came, he saw her eating melon seeds with a group of old people. When she saw him coming, she waved to him from a distance.

Pei Zheng stepped forward with a smile. As soon as the old people saw him, they asked Lin Manqing.

"Which one is this? It looks good."

"This is my home."

"Okay, bring it to your dad and them for a look."

"right."

Pei Zheng didn't say anything, just smiled and watched them chat, then walked to sit next to Lin Manqing.

People in the countryside sit on short stools. When Pei Zheng sat down, his long legs were lying awkwardly. Lin Manqing grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in his hands.

Pei Zheng's hands were larger than Lin Manqing's. The handful of melon seeds she grabbed looked very few in Pei Zheng's hand, and they could almost be counted.

"Baby, eat some melon seeds to pass the time."

"Okay, dear, have you eaten?"

"I'll have to wait a while."

"oh."

After Lin Manqing and Pei Zheng had a brief chat, they continued to immerse themselves in the gossip the old lady and the others were talking about.

It's true that the melons they said were very fragrant, and there were many strange things about the countryside that Lin Manqing had never heard of.

"Um?"

Lin Manqing was getting excited after hearing this, when Pei Zheng thrust the melon seeds he peeled into her hand.

"I'll peel it for you, you can try it."

After Pei Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Lin Manqing expectantly, like a child waiting for praise from his parents.

"Thank you baby."

"hey-hey."

When Lin Manqing praised him, he felt a little embarrassed. He just laughed and couldn't say anything.

"Second mother, Xiaoman, it's time to eat."

Lin Manqing was really happy to hear that, so someone asked them to go to dinner. Lin Manqing passed by and saw that there were really not many people around, so it was their turn to eat.

"Come on, let's go eat."

The people gathered around stood up to eat, Lin Manqing also stood up, and then pulled Pei Zheng, who was sitting next to him, up with him, preparing to take him to have a second meal.

"Be good."

"Um?"

"I have already eaten."

Lin Manqing and Pei Zheng quickly walked to the dining table. Pei Zheng quickly grabbed her. Lin Manqing looked back at him in confusion. After he finished speaking, she remembered that she had already eaten.

"Hahahaha, it goes smoothly, do you still want to have another meal?"

"I won't eat."

"Then you go back and sit and wait for me. I will eat soon and I will come to you then."

"Okay, then I'll wait there for you."

“Oke Oke.”

After making an appointment with Pei Zheng where they would meet later, Lin Manqing hurried to cook.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.

People are iron rice and steel, and if they don't eat a meal, they will be very hungry.

"Won't you come to dinner?"

Just as Lin Manqing sat down and picked up the bowl, an old lady asked about Pei Zheng.

Lin Manqing kept eating. She swallowed the food in her mouth before replying.

"He just ate."

The others didn't ask any more questions after they found out. They were all busy cooking. Among them, Lin Manqing was the fastest. After she finished eating, she went to find Pei Zheng.

The two sat there for a while, and after the others finished eating, she went to help clear away the dishes.

There were not many people left after the meal, but there were still a few who stayed to clean up. It took them less than an hour to get everything done.

"Xiaoman, please remember to take away the remaining pork later."

"Second wife, I don't want it anymore. We are leaving tomorrow. You can see if it's okay. If so, you can receive it yourself."

"Leaving tomorrow?"

"Yeah, we still have things to do when we go back."

"Okay, then I won't be polite to you."

After Lin Manqing saw that everything was packed, she was about to take Pei Zheng home. Before she could take a few steps, she was stopped by her second wife.

Lin Manqing didn't think carefully about the remaining pork. She thought that one pig might be just right, but she didn't expect that there was actually a quarter left.

It was not convenient for her to take it away, so she had to leave it with them.

After the remaining things were taken care of, Lin Manqing could finally take Pei Zheng home.

It gets dark early in the winter, and it's only after four o'clock now, but it looks like seven or eight o'clock. After Lin Manqing brought Pei Zheng home, he started to put away the things he brought back yesterday.

After a dreamless night, at seven o'clock the next morning, Lin Manqing woke Pei Zheng up to wash up and get ready to drive to Liangcheng.

There is still about a week before the Chinese New Year, and today's bus is also the last one this year. If Lin Manqing and the others leave later, there will be no buses.
