After lunch, the ancestral hall was still full of people.

Seeing that there are still a few days to celebrate the New Year, there is nothing to do now. We sit in the ancestral hall and grill over the charcoal fire.

So except for some villagers who wanted to take packaged vegetables and meat back to their families with mobility issues, everyone else stayed.

Naturally, Zhang Chunnuan didn't leave either. She sat at the table and chatted with Wang Dongxue while warming herself by the fire.

Playing time always passed quickly, and Zhang Chunnuan felt that not long after, Zhou Haoran came in with new dishes.

After another round of eating and drinking, before dark, the Shen family’s dinner party finally came to an end.

Zhang Chunnuan divided the remaining ten kilograms of pork with the village chief's uncle's family and Zhou Li's family, and then went home with the whole family.

The next day, when it was still dark, Zhang Chunnuan was woken up by the sound of banging on the door and the urging of two little ancestors.

Only when I got up did I realize that Zhou Haoran and Tan Zhengping had already come home.

Shen Shiqi and Shen August actually put on their best cotton-padded clothes and walked around the main room hand in hand.

"Mom, mom, let's go to the city!"

"Mom, mom, hurry up!"

The corner of Zhang Chunnuan's mouth twitched slightly, knowing that he was going to the city made them so happy?

After breakfast, Zhou Haoran went to drive the team's ox cart to the fork at the foot of the mountain and waited.

Zhang Chunnuan persuaded Father Shen who did not want to go to the county and wanted to stay at home to look after the family. He persuaded him.

So when they went out, the young and old of the Shen family all got on the bullock cart.

After everyone got on the bus and sat down, Zhou Haoran asked, then raised his whip and threw it on the back of the cow.

The car moved forward slowly as the cattle moved.

At the beginning, the brothers and sisters Shen Shiqi were still very interested and found everything new and strange. They pointed at the wild trees and grass on the roadside and kept asking questions.

Later, it seemed that I got up too early and didn't get enough sleep, so I started to doze off while talking.

Fortunately, Father Shen was fully prepared. He immediately opened the quilt he had brought with him, half spread it and half covered it, and stuffed the two little ones into the quilt.

In less than two minutes, I fell asleep.

Zhou Haoran and Tan Zhengping were sitting in front of the car. When they couldn't hear the voices of the two children behind them, they turned around and saw that the two children had fallen asleep with their heads next to each other.

"They fell asleep so fast. It seems they really got up early this morning."

Tan Zhengping also looked back, his eyes jumping from Wang Xinyu to the red faces of the two little ones who were sleeping, "Like two little pigs."

"Have a good drive!" Zhang Chunnuan stretched out her hand to tuck the two boys into bed, raising her eyebrows in warning.

Zhou Haoran rolled his eyes at Tan Zhengping and said, "You are the pig."

"Old Zhou, why are you like this?! I'm not your good brother anymore!"

Tan Zhengping screamed, but stopped again when Zhou Haoran stared at him.

Two and a half hours later, the ox cart drove into Baiguan County.

Zhang Chunnuan woke up the two children, "Seventeenth, August, wake up soon, we have arrived in the county town."

When the two children heard the word "county town", they immediately woke up and got out of bed.

"Mom, mom, are we here yet?"

"Mom, mom, I'm hungry."

Hearing Shen Baotou complain about hunger, Zhang Chunnuan knew that the little girl had complained about Wo Wo Tou in the morning and stopped eating after eating only half of it.

Because Zhou Haoran and Tan Zhengping were also there, she did not educate Shen August.

As for now...

Zhang Chunnuan smiled half-heartedly, looked at Shen August, who was touching his belly with his little hand and wrinkled his little face, and said: "Then just be hungry, who told you not to eat breakfast."

"Mom, mom~~~" Shen August launched a coquettish offensive.

After spending several years with the little girl as mother and daughter, Zhang Chunnuan had already developed a heart of stone. He moved her little hand and turned to look at the passers-by on the road.

When Shen August saw that his own mother ignored him, he turned to his grandfather to act coquettishly.

Unexpectedly, when he returned home from dinner at the ancestral hall the night before, Zhang Chunnuan had already had a profound conversation with Father Shen.

In addition, he ate the steamed buns that Shen August didn't finish this morning.

Therefore, although Father Shen feels sorry for his granddaughter, he does not dare to confront Zhang Chunnuan on educating his children.

The mistress on the side felt extremely distressed when she saw that the eyes of the little sister he had brought up were covered with mist and her nose was red.

He reached into his yellow satchel and took out an oil paper bag. Before he could open it, Wang Xinyu reached out and snatched it away.

"Mistress, are you going to confront me?"

Shen August's nose twitched, smelling the smell of chicken cake, and looked over pitifully.

"But will I be hungry in August?" Xiaosanzi asked worriedly.

Wang Xinyu stuffed the stolen oil-paper bag into his schoolbag and said calmly: "I know what I am doing."

As soon as she finished speaking, the bullock cart slowly stopped.

Zhang Chunnuan looked around, his heart moved slightly, and he looked at Zhou Haoran who was about to get out of the car.

The latter felt a little guilty at her sight, so he pretended to be calm and said: "Zhengping said he was hungry. You guys sit down and wait for a while. We'll be back as soon as we go."

After saying this, he dragged Tan Zhengping, who was bewildered, and ran towards the state-owned hotel whose appearance had remained the same for several years.

The third son asked: "Uncle Zhengping ate five or six steamed buns and drank three large bowls of porridge when he was at home. Why did he get hungry so quickly?"

Wang Xinyu lowered his eyelashes and gave a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Such Uncle Haoran is more suitable to be the stepfather of Qi Qi and Qi Qiu than Yin Gong'an!

After a while, Zhou Haoran and Tan Zhengping came over with two bulging bags of stuff in their arms.

Zhang Chunnuan had sharp eyes and recognized the bag at a glance. It was the cotton bag she took out for them when they had their first meal at home.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Haoran approached, he handed over the bag in his arms and said: "Everyone should try the meat buns from the state-owned restaurant!"

Father Shen had already mentally agreed with the relationship between Zhou Haoran and Zhang Chunnuan, and the two of them often came to the house for dinner, so he said a few polite words, took the bag, and distributed the buns to the children in the car.

Holding the hot buns in her hands, Shen August thanked Zhou Haoran sweetly, took a sip, and said while eating: "The meat buns are so delicious!"

After praising the buns, the little clever ghost seemed to have thought of something. He looked at his mother with a shy face and said in a sweet voice: "But it's still not as delicious as the three fresh buns made by my mother! What my mother makes is the best!" "

"Oh?" Zhang Chunnuan raised his eyebrows, "Then when I go home tonight, my mother will make you some steamed buns. You must finish them!"

Shen August held the buns in his hands and opened his mouth, completely unaware that he had been trapped by his mother's words.

The bullock cart drove again and did not stop when it passed the supply and marketing cooperative.

Zhang Chunnuan was a little surprised but didn't ask. She thought that Zhou Haoran had something urgent to do first.

Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, the bullock cart stopped in front of the store with the sign "Baiguan County Photo Studio".

Zhou Haoran jumped out of the car and turned around and said, "It's rare that all the family members are here, so it's just a good time to take a family photo."

Zhang Chunnuan lowered his head and looked at the red woolen coat on his body.
