A meal of pure pancakes stewed in an iron pot brings peace of mind to the taste of home.

After the meal, the family walked behind the house to enjoy the cool air. An Guoming went to the well to fish for watermelons. The first time he didn't fish it out, and the second time he didn't fish it out.

"Second brother, don't bother me. I told you what I was going to do!"

An Guoqing patted the soil on his butt, walked to the edge of the well, swung the rope skillfully with his legs, and loaded the watermelon in the well with one movement.

A second later, he started to pull. An Guoming watched from the side and said, "No, brother is awesome. Come on, come on."

An Guoping came over and whispered in An Ning's ear: "Why does he feel that the second brother did it on purpose?"

"I don't feel wrong."

An Ning answered with a smile.

An Guoming's body is indeed average, but after so many years, he insists on exercising.

He also insisted on eating the medicinal meals made by Master Tang, and An Ning secretly prepared something for him from time to time, so An Guoming was really not as weak as before.

An Guoqing brought the watermelon, and his sister-in-law had already prepared it with a kitchen knife.

There was a click, and the moment the tip of the knife touched the watermelon, the watermelon split open.

The green and slightly black watermelon rind is cracked, and the red flesh dotted with dark seeds are exposed, and everyone knows whether it is the love melon of dreams.

The skin is thin, the seeds are black, and they look sandy at first sight.

At that time, Hei Daner was very discerning. He cut the watermelon piece by piece and gave it to his grandparents, and then to his second uncle, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, parents, and finally the three brothers.

When there are more people, the watermelon tastes less.

"Eat it freely. There is one in the well. They are all grown in our melon field."

"tasty."

"Mom, he has never tasted such sweet watermelon in Beijing."

Both An Ning and An Guoping gave high praise. The whole family was blushing after eating, but no one cared.

After eating two watermelons, throw the watermelon rinds to feed the pigs. Is it true that nothing should be wasted in the village?

When we came back from the east, everyone discussed what we wanted to do tomorrow. It would be three days before the official wedding ceremony.

"Tomorrow we will kill the pig first. The house has to be decorated. They have cleaned up the hygiene and other things. We will leave it to us to post happy words and other things tomorrow."

An Sancheng made the arrangements, and An Ning and An Guoping readily agreed.

A wedding in the village requires three banquets. The day before the wedding, everyone is invited to have dinner. The banquet does not have to be particularly good. In short, it depends on the financial level of the family.

The main meal is only served on the second day of the wedding, usually sixteen, eighteen or twenty courses.

Whether the wedding is completed at noon, there will be a meal at noon. At that meal, please invite those who helped with the work and thank them.

In other words, tomorrow will be the last day of peaceful confinement, and the day after tomorrow will be a banquet.

An Guoming and Yin Xuemei's wedding was held in the village. They asked a master chef in the village to make the banquet. All the tables, chairs and benches were borrowed. Most of the ingredients were produced by Anjia themselves, so the taste was guaranteed.

We enjoyed the cool air and chatted behind the room, and the family stayed outside until the sunset filled the sky.

"Whether the weather is good tomorrow or not, the two days will be good."

Seeing good scenery makes people feel better.

When it got dark, An Sancheng lit a fire in the yard and lit some mugwort leaves in the yard to ward off mosquitoes.

It wasn't until around 8:30, when it was completely dark, that everyone went back to the room, washed up, and prepared to go to bed.

The kang outside An Ning's room is not very hot, but it's not cold either.

The weather in June is very hot in the village, especially in the morning. If you open the front and rear windows, the small morning breeze will blow around you and it will be cool.

Especially in the middle of the night, you must be covered with a thin blanket or quilt.

Even if you don't cover your whole body, you still want to cover your belly. That's not the bottom line.

The comfortable temperature and familiar environment allowed An Ning to have an excellent sleep.

She had woken up to the crow of a big rooster.

When An Ning came out of the room, Hei Daner looked at his legs and wrists, then at An Ning. He shook his head and walked in the yard with his legs on his back.

An Ning was amused by Hei Dan'er, and asked An Guoping, who was brushing his teeth next to him, "Does he dislike him for getting up late?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah"

"But he doesn't have a leg watch either!"

An Ning's words successfully made Hei Dan'er, who was halfway into the courtyard, embarrassed for a moment.

In the early morning, the yard was very busy, with people brushing teeth, washing faces, sweeping the yard, and drying clothes.

Chickens and dogs were jumping around in the yard, wolves were chasing dogs and dogs were being scratched, and the shouts of the tofu sellers could be heard at the door. It was a unique noon in the village.

An Ning also joined in the fun and pumped out the water. The cold well water made her instantly refreshed.

For breakfast, I had sorghum rice, steamed potatoes and eggplants, and mixed it with chili and egg stew. It was very fragrant.

Add it to tofu with scallions, and mix it with green pepper meat sauce. You can eat it so peacefully that you don’t even want to raise your head.

After breakfast, An Sancheng and An Guoqing were going to catch and kill pigs.

Li Yi killed two pigs to provide some meat for tomorrow's banquet, but the meat was very poor. An Guoming ordered knuckles, pig trotters, pig dongshui, etc. at the pig killing farm.

After An Sancheng left, Uncle An's sister-in-law, nieces and nephews also came over.

Everyone was cutting window grilles and making latte art in the house. The red color made it look festive.

Work will go faster if there are more people. Within two hours, in Anjia's house, the windows were open and every door had happy words posted on them.

The eldest uncle's legs are particularly clever. She can cut out little people wearing ancient wedding clothes. She can also cut out happy words such as happy marriage, happy marriage and so on.

Large and small, the walls are hung with liquid glue and the doors are glued.

At noon, the pig butcher came back, Hei Daner was the first to run into the yard, and Han Xuan asked for some meat!

Lin Cuihua came out of the room and looked at Heidan'er speechlessly.

"I'm such a brat, how could our family ever lack meat? Why am I so happy!"

"Milk, that's different. Our pigs are particularly delicious."

Hei Dan'er's words reminded Lin Cuihua of the taste of her own pork, and it was rare for him to affirm Hei Dan'er's words: "I was wrong!"

I can't help but praise Heitan'er for being absolutely right. He's jumping around like a monkey.

After a while, An Guoqing drove a tricycle from behind into the yard. There was a large plastic sheet spread in the carriage, and the plastic sheet covered half of the pig fan.

The pork is quivering, fat and thin, and looks delicious.

"Jiang Xia, we all came over for dinner in the morning, and we'll be gone for the whole day tomorrow."

"Hey, okay, I'm just hungry for that bite of meat."

Jiang Xia, who was helping to kill the pigs in the afternoon, agreed without any hesitation and did not show any concern.

Jiang Xia went back to change clothes first. Before leaving, his eyes fell on An Ning's body involuntarily, maybe he and An Ning had mistakenly seen each other that time.

For a moment, Jiang Xia's neck turned red and her eyes moved away uncomfortably, as if nothing had happened to Zhu Qi.

When An Ning saw the blushing Jiang Xia, she had a thought in her heart: She is so innocent and can't bear to have sex with her.
