After hearing the content of her words, Chu Paner subconsciously touched her belly.

Zhang Chunnuan's eyes flashed when he saw this, and then he forgot about this matter.

It doesn't matter whether she is pregnant or not, as long as it doesn't hinder her eyes and doesn't cause trouble for her and the people around her.

Zhang Chunnuan withdrew his gaze, looked at Wang Dongxue and said with a smile: "Dongxue, please tell me about that naughty old man again!"

As the two of them talked, various fragrances gradually filled the open space outside the ancestral hall.

Wang Dongxue smelled the smell of pickled peppers, and her mouth secreted saliva involuntarily. She swallowed and continued:

"Sister Chunnuan, after lunch, you come home with me. I found some of the seeds you asked me to buy in Beidi."

Only then did Zhang Chunnuan remember the excuse he made when lending money to Wang Dongxue.

She didn't expect Wang Dongxue to bring her medicinal seeds.

After all, they were going to visit Zhou Huacheng, who was sent there to undergo labor reform. Normally, they wouldn't have time to help them find seeds.

Another thing is that few people grow medicinal materials nowadays. There are only a few people who grow them, and even fewer people collect seeds.

Wang Dongxue said that she brought back medicinal seeds, which was an unexpected surprise for Zhang Chunnuan.

She hurriedly asked: "What kind of seeds are there?"

Wang Dongxue looked ashamed and replied: "There are only three kinds. I didn't buy them. Grandpa Diao knew I was looking for them and gave me some of the seeds he collected."

Zhang Chunnuan understood, gently squeezed her hand, and advised: "As long as you can bring back the seeds, I will make it difficult for you."

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult!"

Wang Dongxue waved her hands repeatedly and was about to continue talking when her mother-in-law, Aunt Guihua, walked in, followed by the brothers Zhou Jianjun who were carrying tables, chairs and benches.

"It's warm in spring and snowy in winter. Dinner is ready. Come on, let's sit together as a family!"

There is strength in numbers, and within a short time, several rooms in the ancestral hall were filled with tables, chairs and benches.

Aunt Guihua had already scouted the place, and personally directed her eldest son to set up the tables and chairs, and pulled Zhang Chunnuan and Wang Dongxue to sit down.

"Aunt Osmanthus, please sit down for now while I go find the children."

As soon as Zhang Chunnuan saw this posture, the women and children from both families could fill the table, and he quickly got up to look for the children who didn't know where they were.

Walking to the hall where they were talking by the fire, I saw brother and sister Shen Shiqi at the table where Father Shen and the village chief uncle were sitting.

She walked over, said hello to the village chief uncle first, and then said to Father Shen:

"Dad, I'll take them two to eat in the back, so that they won't cause trouble for you and grandpa later."

There are three large round tables in the hall of the ancestral hall. According to the convention, there should be a table for the elders and elders, a table for the village chief and his contemporaries, and the remaining table is for the production team leader and other cadres in the team.

Zhang Chunnuan only thought, good guys, they are all old men.

She was even more worried about asking the Seventeen brothers and sisters to stay here.

It is completely impossible for country people to eat at a banquet without smoking and drinking.

Zhang Chunnuan didn't know how much drinks captain Zhou Lixue had purchased. Anyway, on the day she asked people to take the pigs away, she stuffed her with a hundred yuan.

Treating guests to a meal is not just about killing pigs.

Apart from anything else, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar seasonings always cost money, right?

Zhang Chunnuan took Shen Shiqi's brother and sister to the back room, handed them over to Aunt Guihua, and went out to look for someone again.

She is not worried about the mistress. She was born and raised in Shanjiao Village and no one dares to bully her.

Zhang Chunnuan was mainly worried about Wang Xinyu.

It has been more than three years since I adopted her. At the beginning, she didn't even leave the house very much, let alone the door.

Zhang Chunnuan knew that this was a psychological problem, but in this regard, she understood everything from seven to six.

She doesn't dare to mess around in areas she doesn't understand.

I can only comfort and care about Wang Xinyu more patiently.

Fortunately, after moving to his current home, Wang Xinyu finally walked out of the room and was gradually able to help with housework and taking care of the children.

Later, Zhang Chunnuan saw that she could follow the mistress and left home, so he sent her to school.

The little girl had no extra time to socialize and spent all her free time reading and studying. She soon jumped to the same class as the third son.

Zhang Chunnuan was walking and reminiscing, and it suddenly dawned on them that they would graduate from Heping Primary School in the summer.

Then I will go to the commune to attend junior high school.

Time flies so fast!

Zhang Chunnuan sighed and walked out of the ancestral hall. From a distance, he saw the mistress and Zhou Haoran wearing an apron sitting by the makeshift stove talking.

She walked over and happened to hear the third son asking excitedly: "What's next, Uncle Haoran? Is the army so fun?!"

The smile on Zhou Haoran's face did not diminish, but his voice was extremely serious: "My dear, the army is not a place for fun."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked over as if aware, and happened to look into Zhang Chunnuan's eyes.

"It's very smoky over here. Don't come over here anymore. Let's go over there and talk about anything you need."

Zhou Haoran quickly stood up and greeted him.

"I have nothing to do." Zhang Chunnuan took two steps back and said in a loud voice, "I just came to tell the third son that he should wait for dinner in the room behind the ancestral hall!"

The mistress also stood up and said: "Auntie, I won't go and squeeze with you. I will sit at the same table with Uncle Haoran and Uncle Zhengping later. I also want to hear more about what Uncle Haoran said about his time in the army!"

Zhang Chunnuan ignored him and only looked at Zhou Haoran with questioning eyes.

Under her gaze, Zhou Haoran nodded and promised: "Just sit back and wait for dinner. I will keep an eye on the mistress."

Zhang Chunnuan was still worried and warned: "I don't know where you will sit later, but mistress, you have to promise me that you will never smoke or drink secretly!"

Eight out of ten young people in the village smoke and drink, and the remaining two are still in school.

Even Zhou Mingda, who never smoked or drank, now carries a box of cut tobacco in his pocket.

Zhang Chunnuan also came from the age of the third son, and knows that at this time, half-grown children like to do things that prove they have grown up.

She didn't want the children she raised to get into bad habits!

After the mistress gave her repeated assurances, Zhang Chunnuan left to find Wang Xinyu.

Amid the bustle of people, she searched for a long time before she found Wang Xinyu, who was holding a glass of water and accompanying Tan Zhengping under the big tree next to the ancestral hall.

Zhang Chunnuan felt a headache when he saw this.

Wang Xinyu will be 12 years old at the turn of the new year, although in later generations, he will still be a child in the sixth grade of primary school at this age.

But at this moment, that is considered half of the labor force.

In some unscrupulous families, there are many girls who go to their husband's house to have babies at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

She stayed alone with Tan Zhengping, who was in his twenties, still in this hidden corner...

Zhang Chunnuan, who had just been exposed to rumors that he was related to Tan Zhengping, couldn't help but raise his forehead.
