Sumanling pulled the cart back to the front of the house.

Han Xuemei was standing on the steps when she saw Su Menling stop, and she immediately ran over to her.

"Honey, where have you been?"

Han Xuemei asked with a concerned expression.

On their first day of marriage, Zhang Yun actually went out to do chores.

Although Han Xuemei felt the care from Zhang Yun's family, she was still a bit reserved as a new bride, unsure of how to bring up certain things or what to do.

Without Zhang Yun around, Han Xuemei was extremely cautious, afraid of making a mistake.

This feeling of being a new bride took a whole afternoon to torment.

Now that Zhang Yun is back, Han Xuemei instantly felt a sense of relief.

"I went to Jiming Mountain... Oh, you were worried about me?"

Looking at Han Xuemei's tearful expression, Zhang Yun immediately guessed what she was thinking.

"Let's go back. I went to Jiming Mountain and picked some more watermelons."

Zhang Yun got off the cart, took Han Xuemei's hand, and said with a smile.

Han Xuemei blushed instantly. Although she had given herself to Zhang Yun, she still couldn't accept him holding her hand in this public setting.

The two returned to the backyard.

The family members were all talking in the pavilion.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Zhang Yixin, Zhang Yiyi, and Zhang Yaya, the three siblings, were busy at work, while Zhang Jiwu and Liu Juanjuan assisted their three children.

When Zhang Zhongli and Chen Wan saw Su Menling's figure, they knew that Zhang Yun had returned.

Chen Xiuqin, holding her grandson Wu Feiyang, immediately stood up when she saw Su Menling.

"My dear in-law, you really are something else. You just got married and you've already abandoned your wife."

Chen Xiuqin shouted jokingly.

When she saw the three baskets of watermelons and the bag of pheasants on the cart, Chen Xiuqin's face froze.

"This, this, my dear in-law, you've found another watermelon!"

Chen Xiuqin was stunned.

Today at the wedding banquet, all the watermelons in the cellar were taken away.

Chen Xiuqin thought she would never be able to eat watermelon again this summer, but Zhang Yun went out and brought back three baskets of watermelons, which truly amazed her.

I've never heard of any commune in Fengshan County growing watermelons.

The four sisters, Zhang Fen, Zhang Fang, and the others, had already run over.

“Brother, you don’t need to work so hard. You just brought your wife home today and you’re already heading into the mountains.”

Zhang Fen said with heartache.

"Brother, next time you go into the mountains to find watermelons, could you take me with you?"

Zhang Fang asked with great interest.

"Brother, can we cut a watermelon right now?"

Zhang Yanhong said with an expectant look on her face.

Zhang Yun immediately nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, cut two watermelons, and everyone can have a bite."

"I've moved the rest of the watermelons into the cellar."

Zhang Yanhong and Zhang Yanli, the two younger sisters, happily picked up the watermelons and placed them on the wooden table in the middle of the pavilion.

Zhang Yun himself carried three baskets and put them all into the cellar.

After several days of using up the ice, there was now about five square meters of free space in the cellar.

"It's alright. In about twenty days, we'll go back to the Ice Cave and replenish the ice in the cellar."

Zhang Yun muttered to himself before leaving the cellar and closing the wooden door.

Inside the pavilion, two large watermelons had already been cut open.

Wu Feiyang and Liu Xiaoyan, the two little ones, kept raising their hands and making noises, eager to grab the first piece of watermelon.

"Little Niu Niu, you eat first."

Chen Xiuqin was very protective of her grandson. Seeing Wu Feiyang raising his hand and shouting, she grabbed the first slice of watermelon and handed it directly to Wu Feiyang.

"Mother……"

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoyan naturally couldn't be left behind and immediately looked at her mother, Zhang Fen.

"Grandma will get it for you."

Chen Wan grabbed the second slice of watermelon and immediately handed it to Liu Xiaoyan.

These two mothers-in-law usually take care of each other's children, and they both genuinely dote on the children they raise.

Seeing the behavior of the two mothers-in-law, the family members all understood the situation and kept quiet, not daring to get involved in their battle.

The two watermelons were quickly cut open, and everyone gathered in the pavilion picked up a watermelon and ate it happily.

Zhang Yun came out of the cellar. At this time, Zhang Zhongli was eating watermelon and pulled Zhang Yun to the osmanthus tree a few meters away.

“In the afternoon, shortly after you left, Wang Yuanyong came by. He wanted to talk to you about something.”

Zhang Zhongli said softly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yun immediately understood Wang Yuanyong's purpose.

It seems that Sihui Village has already made a decision.

"Has Wang Yuanyong left?"

Zhang Yun sensed something and confirmed that Wang Yuanyong was not around his house.

"He didn't see you, so he went to your aunt's. Before he left, he said he would come back to see you tonight."

Zhang Zhongli said calmly.

Zhang Yun nodded.

"Okay, I understand. I'll wait for him to arrive."

After Zhang Yun finished speaking, he went directly to the pavilion and picked up a slice of watermelon.

"Honey, have a slice of watermelon too."

Zhang Yun could tell that Han Xuemei wasn't completely relaxed after her new wife entered the family; she even hesitated to go into the pavilion to get a watermelon.

Naturally, Zhang Yun wanted to help Han Xuemei integrate into the family quickly.

"Um……"

Han Xuemei blushed again when she saw that everyone in the family was watching her, but she was still very happy, at least Zhang Yun was taking care of her feelings.

Han Xuemei took the watermelon and ate it in small bites.

“Sister-in-law, some young men in the village have suggested to me that they want to come and make a ruckus in the bridal chamber tonight.”

Zhang Fang suddenly said something.

This is also a wedding custom in Hunan Province. On the wedding day, people from the same village will come to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber, making the newlyweds play various games.

"Ah...no way."

Han Xuemei was so startled that she dropped the watermelon on the ground. She looked at Zhang Yun with a panicked expression.

Teasing the newlyweds in the bridal chamber is no joke. Once the young man gets excited, he'll make Zhang Yun and Han Xuemei do some very embarrassing games and say some unspeakable sweet nothings.

Han Xuemei was naturally afraid when she thought about such a thing.

Zhang Yun noticed Han Xuemei's nervousness and immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't let them make a scene in the bridal chamber."

The wedding night pranks were just treating the newlyweds like monkeys, something Zhang Yun himself didn't like.

In particular, if the wedding night pranks get out of control, some people may get handsy and touch things inappropriately.

Zhang Yun could not tolerate such a thing.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhongli waved his hand and said calmly, "I'll step in and stop this."

Since his wife didn't like it, Zhang Zhongli naturally had to step in to protect her and not let her suffer.

"Thanks dad."

Han Xuemei felt protected by both Zhang Yun and Zhang Zhongli, and her heart was filled with happiness. It felt so good to have family to rely on.

At that moment, Zhang Yun sensed that a bicycle was approaching from outside.

Wang Yuanyong has returned.
