Divorced woman with child travels through time

After everyone left, Chu Yi took the children to rest, Wang Hanyang went to patrol the land, and the other two sensible people also went to bed early, leaving the two of them with private space.

Wang Erniu poured Chen Wenfang a glass of wine and said gently, "Drink less, it's not good for your health!"

Chen Wenfang laughed, "You told me to drink less, but you still poured me more."

Wang Erniu chuckled and said, "I'm used to it. Besides, it's no fun for me to drink alone. You should drink less, just a little bit."

Perhaps because he had been drinking, Wang Erniu became more talkative and unrestrained.

"Fang'er, thank you for staying with me." Wang Erniu, who was a little tipsy, reached out and grabbed her hand.

Chen Wenfang smiled and let him pull her hand, placing her hand over his and saying, "I should thank you. You've always been there for me, letting me do whatever I want. You support me no matter what. What woman is so lucky to have such freedom?"

"That's how it should be." Wang Erniu looked like it was a matter of course, thinking to himself, if you were to marry me, I should make you feel even more at ease, but alas, I have the desire but no courage to say it.

Chen Wenfang raised her glass and said, "Thank you, Brother Erniu. Here, let me toast you!"

Wang Erniu raised his glass and clinked it with hers. The two were very close, toasting each other back and forth. Wang Erniu was a little excited, and the warmth emanating from his body enveloped Chen Wenfang. Chen Wenfang's face was flushed, whether from the wine or from the warmth emanating from Wang Erniu, it was hard to tell.

Wang Erniu downed his drink in one gulp, then, mustering his courage, he took her hand with his slightly rough hands and said earnestly, "Fang'er, you know how I feel! Will you marry me? Although I don't earn much money now, I'm sure I'll earn more in the future, and I promise you can live the way you want."

Chen Wenfang smiled at his expectant yet nervous expression and said, "Okay."

"Ah, aren't you going to hesitate for a moment!" Wang Erniu was a little flustered by her casual answer.

“I’m serious, I’m not joking,” Chen Wenfang said, looking him straight in the eye.

Seeing the seriousness in her eyes, Wang Erniu smiled happily and said, "Okay, that's good. So, when do you think we should get married?"

Chen Wenfang looked at him gently and smiled, "If you've made up your mind, I'm fine with anything."

Wang Erniu chuckled, "Then I'll go find Uncle Liu Hai tomorrow to set a date. You can't go back on your word."

"Okay, I won't go back on my word." Chen Wenfang still looked at him gently and smiled.

Wang Erniu felt that Chen Wenfang was acting strangely after drinking; she was being so easy to talk to.

Are you drunk, Fang'er?

"No, I'm not drunk."

"Really?"

"Really! I'm not drunk."

"Maybe we shouldn't drink anymore, and we can talk about the wedding tomorrow."

"Why do we have to talk about it tomorrow? Didn't we just agree? I'm not drunk, I'm really not drunk! If you don't believe me, let's keep drinking!" Chen Wenfang let go of his hand, took out another jar of wine from under the table, and poured it for the two of them.

"Hey, Erniu, this is for you!"

Wang Erniu drank the wine with some frustration and said, "I'm drunk, I'm not drinking anymore. Fang'er, let me help you to rest."

Chen Wenfang, slightly drunk, said, "Okay, if you're drunk, we won't drink anymore. I'm sleepy too, I want to go to bed."

Wang Erniu helped Chen Wenfang to her room to rest. He came out and looked at the table full of food. He wanted to clean it up, but the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. He shouldn't have let her drink so much. Now look what happened. She had already agreed to the marriage, but she was drunk. What if she woke up tomorrow and didn't remember or admit it? Sigh.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up his wine and started drinking again. Wang Hanyang returned with Luo Xiaohei after finishing his inspection of the land. Seeing him drinking alone, he sat down, picked up his wine, and asked, "What's wrong? Brother, did you quarrel with Madam Chen?"

He took another sip of his drink and said, "When we went out, I saw you two chatting quite a bit. You were even holding hands."

"You know what, yeah, they were holding hands, and she just agreed to marry me."

"That's a good thing, why aren't you happy?" Wang Hanyang asked.

"She's drunk, and I'm afraid she won't remember it when she wakes up tomorrow." Wang Erniu was feeling a bit down.

“It’s okay, brother. If she doesn’t admit it tomorrow, I’ll be your witness. We’re definitely going to marry her.”

"Good brother, come on, let's have a drink." Wang Erniu thought it was a good idea and happily drank with him.

The two got more and more carried away with their conversation, and Wang Hanyang even called up the two people at the head of the house. The four of them drank around the table for a while. They were all heavy drinkers, but none of them got drunk. Wang Hanyang even took the time to go and check on the land again. After they finished drinking, Wang Hanyang cleaned up the bowls, chopsticks and leftovers on the table, and then went for a walk around the vegetable garden.

It was almost dawn, and Uncle Liu Hai got up early to take a walk around the vegetable garden. The group of people watched over it day and night, treating it like a treasure, guarding it tightly so that no one could take advantage of it.

Chen Wenfang always slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up, and this was even more true after Wang Erniu came into the picture. He spoiled her every day, and except for going to the market on weekdays, he let her sleep until she woke up naturally. He never woke her up. The children got up by themselves, and Wang Erniu would make breakfast and take it to school. With Chu Yi watching over them, there was no need to worry.

Chen Wenfang got up happily, dressed herself, and slowly washed up. Wang Erniu had left her breakfast: steamed white buns, millet porridge, pan-fried cured fish, and stir-fried wild boar meat to go with the porridge.

When Wang Erniu saw her come to the dining table, he sat down next to her, poured himself a bowl of millet porridge, and thought about how to bring up what happened last night.

Aunt Liu and Chunlan have already started working, each doing their own job, bustling about in the kitchen. Dazhuang and Zhuantou are also greeting customers and delivering herbs and syrup beans. It's quite lively. Perhaps it was after Chen Wenfang's recipe was sold that everyone realized that Chen's wife was making real money. She wholesales fifty catties of fried rice, and Chen's wife only earns a labor fee. It's real hard-earned money, and the fried rice business has picked up again. In short, fried rice is an essential item for households when traveling or going on trips. Those with money can also buy some Sachima (a type of Chinese pastry) to take with them on short trips.

Wang Hanyang had already rested, while Uncle Liu Hai led the other two to the fields. As Chen Wenfang had suggested, the chili peppers needed to be allowed to ripen a bit before harvesting. They planned to grow many varieties this year, as next year's main business would be selling seeds.

Chen Wenfang sat in the main room at the back, drinking the thick, golden millet porridge that had been cooked until it was covered in rice oil. She listened to the greetings and the sound of spatulas coming from the front and back of the house. She picked up a piece of cured fish and ate it slowly, while curiously watching Wang Erniu next to her, who was fiddling around and doing something. What was Brother Erniu up to?

Wang Erniu waited until Chen Wenfang had drunk a bowl of porridge and was about half full. He took the bowl and quickly added another bowl of porridge for her, but he didn't know how to bring it up, mainly because he was worried that she wouldn't remember.
