Jiang Lu fell asleep on the bed. When she woke up, it was already evening. Now the days were short and it was getting dark quickly.

Neither Zhou Chunhe nor Zhou Tian was seen, could it be that he was still listening to his mother's lectures in that room? Jiang Lu didn't care, he felt much better, so he got dressed and got up.

Fu Xiaoan finished his work, packed up the farm tools and was about to go home. When he walked out of the greenhouse, he saw the second master fetching water, taking a few steps to rest, so Fu Xiaoan walked quickly and stepped forward to help.

"It's you, young man." The second master also recognized Fu Xiaoan and said with a smile.

"Second Master, my name is Fu Xiaoan. I will pick up this water for you to take home." Fu Xiaoan stepped forward and said.

"Won't I delay you?"

"No delay, it's time to get off work." Fu Xiaoan scratched his head and said shyly.

The second master was not polite and handed the pole to Fu Xiaoan.

"Second Master, you are still carrying water at such an old age, so you have to be slow," Fu Xiaoan said.

"I don't often choose. Chunhe often comes to help me." The second master said.

"That's okay!"

Jiang Lu reached into Zhou Chunhe's clothes, found the right spot, and twisted it off.

"What?" Zhou Chunhe's eyes widened, "Took away all my work?"

Zhou Chunhe stood up suddenly and walked out.

Jiang Lu's nose became sour, and he put his arms around Zhou Chunhe's waist from the back and pressed his face against his back.

The second master took it in his hand and touched the patched area. He accidentally poked it with his finger, "What patch is this?"

Jiang Lu got up in the afternoon and made clothes for a while. Mrs. Zhou took the child over and left without saying a word.

"If I don't dislike it, how can I dislike it? Second Master, you are serious." Fu Xiaoan explained hurriedly.

"It's not that I dislike it, Second Master, I'm afraid of causing trouble to you." Fu Xiaoan said what he was thinking, it would be the best thing if he could have a place to stay and save him the hassle of traveling back and forth.

.

"Cook some noodles, it's easy."

"Well, go back to sleep."

"Are you familiar with our boss?"

"Xiao An, why don't you sleep with me?" the second master said suddenly.

"It's you. I thought it was Xiao An who came back."

"No, this guy is so unreasonable. He is trying to break into me." Zhou Chunhe refused to accept it and was angry.

"That's not enough. We have to start with a hundred pairs anyway."

"Ah!" Zhou Chunhe jumped, "You're murdering your husband!"

"This is not a secret base. Come and thread a needle for me."

"I don't want to talk to you. Who wants your money? Let's go." Zhou Chunhe did not wait for the second master to come out and plunged into the cool night.

"Why don't you darn your socks? I'll go to the county town and buy you ten pairs tomorrow."

"You go ahead, just add water and stew. I'll collect the clothes." Jiang Lu let go.

"Why did you throw it away?" The second master was about to pick it up.

The pair of socks were swaying and dancing in the wind. Although they were wrinkled and she didn't know if they were clean, Jiang Lu could indeed feel his warmth.

When he arrived at the second master's house, Fu Xiaoan poured water into the water jar before leaving.

Zhou Chunhe stopped him and said, "Old man, that's fire!"

Fu Xiaoan scratched his head and hesitated, "Second Master, I have nothing to repay you."

"It's okay, I don't have anything to do. Second Master, I'm leaving." Fu Xiaoan chuckled and walked away.

"Keep this mood, daughter-in-law, I'll make it quickly, eat it and then go to bed." Zhou Chunhe said excitedly.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable again?" Zhou Chunhe asked, holding a spatula in his hand while frying vegetables.

Zhou Chunhe stepped forward and said fiercely, "What are you doing?"

"It's not a good job, why are you fighting for this?" the second master said with a smile.

"What's the trouble with me being a bad old man? If you don't like how dirty and messy this place is, I won't force you."

"It can't be repaired anymore. I'll buy you a new one tomorrow."

"No, I just want to hug you."

"What are you trying to fix?" Zhou Chunhe entered the room.

Zhou Chunhe was stunned for a moment, then took the socks and said, "Don't be careful, they were torn just after they were mended." He smiled and threw them into the stove.

"Then I'll give you money." The second master went to take out his wallet.

"Old man, I agreed this time that if it breaks again, I will throw it away." Zhou Chunhe warned.

"Fu Xiaoan? What is he here for?" Zhou Chunhe was confused.

"They are good people."

Fu Xiaoan smiled sheepishly again.

Zhou Chunhe pulled the oil lamp over and carefully threaded the needle and thread, stitch by stitch. The thin thread, held in Zhou Chunhe's broad hand, was like a wild beast holding a bouquet. It was obviously not matching at all, but there was an inexplicable sense of joy.

"Ten pairs?! I can't wear them all in a lifetime."

"Meat, you can cook the meat." Zhou Chunhe softened his tone, "You better teach me how to cook it, and I can cook it for you in the future."

"He just brought me some water. I asked him to come and stay tomorrow."

The second master squinted his eyes to watch Zhou Chunhe approaching in the hazy sunset.

"That's already done." The second master said cheerfully.

"I am alone and it is deserted. If you stay there, it will be lively. There happens to be one room left vacant. If you don't mind, you can clean it up and move in by yourself." The second master said sincerely.

"Then let's make an agreement. You can bring your things and stay here tomorrow." Er Ye agreed.

"Cooking."

As soon as Fu Xiaoan left, Zhou Chunhe came over.

"Okay, here we come." Jiang Lu responded.

"You can still wear it," the second master said sarcastically.

"Old man, what are you looking at? I don't even recognize you anymore?" Zhou Chunhe said.

"Haha, then I have to live like an old goblin..." Erye said with a hearty smile.

Jiang Lu was stunned for a moment, then realized what her mother-in-law was talking about, smiled, and replied, "I want something to eat."

"Go back and lie down, I'll do it."

"I don't know." Mrs. Zhou replied stiffly, walked a few steps and then turned around, "If Zhou Tian wants to eat milk powder, just give it to him."

Fu Xiaoan reacted and politely refused, "Second Master, I won't cause you any trouble."

Jiang Lu looked at him and smiled, "I'm hungry. If you do this, when will I have food?"

"You're not bad either."

"I don't want to eat noodles, I want to eat meat."

"Then just fetch water for me and listen to my nagging if you have nothing to do."

"Mom, where is Chunhe?" Jiang Lu asked.

Zhou Chunhe had a conversation with the second master, lit a fire for him, and mended his socks. He knew that the second master would not throw away the socks.

"Are you going back to Fenglin Village?" the second master asked.

The two looked at each other and smiled, reaching an agreement.

When Zhou Chunhe came back, Jiang Lu was cooking.

"Okay." Er Ye agreed.

"Wait until I get the money for you." The second master shouted.

The second master looked at the darkening sky and said, "By the time you get home, it will be completely dark."

"Socks." Er Ye said.

"It's time to eat!" Zhou Chunhe called out, interrupting Jiang Lu's thoughts.

"Here, that's it." Zhou Chunhe bit the end of the thread with his teeth, and then handed the socks to the second master.

Zhou Chunhe had already put the rice on the plate and was waiting for his wife to put it on the table.

On Lantern Festival last year, the lights in the flower market were like daylight.

In the moonlit willow branches, people meet after dusk.

On Yuan Ye this year, the moon and lights are still the same.
