Meng Fei followed behind Xiao Nan, head down, like a timid wife, and went to the kitchen.

When I entered the kitchen, Grandma was already waiting there.

Upon seeing Meng Fei, she showed a look of amazement. What a handsome young man!

If he's hardworking, being a live-in son-in-law would be really great.

After Meng Fei called out "Grandma" in a simple and honest voice, he sat down next to Xiao Nan. Grandma quickly said:

"Sit down and eat!"

Meng Fei smelled the aroma of tea, saw the cake on the plate, and his eyes flickered. Xiao Nan handed him a piece.

"I bought this from town. I'll make do with this in the morning, and I'll cook something better for lunch."

"Ai!"

After answering, he started eating in silence. Seeing that he didn't seem to like cake, Xiao Nan took out two steamed buns and a plate of pickled vegetables from the kitchen cabinet and placed them on the table.

"Eat up, you're just a kid who can eat me to death. You're at the age where you can eat a lot. If you're not full, go get some from the cupboard."

"it is good"

While the three of them were eating at the same table, the old woman asked him some questions, and afterwards she couldn't stop smiling, she was extremely happy.

This man is absolutely the husband that God sent to the girl; the two of them are such a perfect match.

She looked at this and that, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

The old woman's gaze kept shifting between the two of them. Xiao Nan took a deep breath, afraid that if she didn't speak up, the old woman would stare a hole through her.

"Grandma, he said that he should repay the life-saving grace with his own body and is willing to come and marry into our family."

"Oh?"

The old woman was stunned. In just one night, the two had secretly pledged their lives to each other? The man didn't seem to have forced the girl, so it must have been the girl who forced herself on him?

My goodness, I never expected this girl to be so fierce and tough.

Seeing the old woman lost in thought, Xiao Nan shook his head and said.

"Grandma, what's there to be so hesitant about? If it works out, great; if not, so be it."

Xiao Nan is not an ancient woman; she transmigrated from a post-apocalyptic world filled with bloodshed and violence. She is used to speaking her mind and doesn't have the shyness of a typical young girl.

The old woman looked at the tall and strong Meng Fei and asked, "Are you really willing?"

Meng Fei nodded: "I'm willing. I'm not young anymore, and I want a home too!"

"Haha, that's great! Now we have a man in our family, a pillar of support."

Meng Fei's face remained red. He wanted to slap himself, feeling that he had been too frivolous and had agreed to it so inexplicably.

After the meal, Grandma wouldn't let them clean up, so Xiao Nan took Meng Fei to the backyard. First, they lifted the tarpaulin to check the vegetables inside. They had Meng Fei prop up the fallen vegetables with wooden planks.

She opened the back door, saw the water on the wasteland, and sighed.

It looks like this batch of cabbage and radishes is doomed; we can't plant them now. We'll have to wait until the rainy season is over.

In just over a month, Ping'an Village experienced two major fires and two heavy rains, keeping the villagers extremely busy.

Who has the time to gossip anymore, and nobody wants to flatter the Zhang family.

Meanwhile, at the Zhang family's house, the workers are currently nailing wood to the roof. Yesterday, the workers slept at the Zhang family's house overnight, and no one is feeling well. They just want to finish the job as soon as possible and go home.

Zhao, in particular, stayed up all night watching over the two children, only managing to doze off for a short while at dawn.

A discerning person would notice that her eyes were swollen, as if she had been crying.

Zhang Tingyu wasn't home; she went to town wearing a wig.

It was only after he left that Zhao learned about Zhang Lao Er's affair with the Fang family in town.

Heartbroken as she was, she knew that she and Zhang Lao Er could never be together. Before the rain, Zhao had met with Zhang Dashan alone, crying, making a scene, and threatening him. Left with no choice, Zhang Dashan told her the truth.

He added that when Zhang Lao Er becomes an official in the future, he will find a way to give her a formal title.

The pie in the sky was drawn very convincingly, but Zhao was only half-believing and half-doubting. She pressed the Fang family for the date of their banquet and decided to go and see her sister-in-law.

Xiao Nan chuckled as he listened to Longlong's report.

"I didn't expect that Zhao had such deep feelings for him. She just wanted to go and see him, and didn't intend to cause trouble."

Longlong glanced at Meng Fei, who was focused on saving the seedlings: "Master, why don't you try these shoes on to see if they fit? It's a bit hasty to decide so quickly, isn't it?"

"Although we've only known each other for less than a day, he's good-looking and honest, which is my type. Besides, he's an orphan and doesn't cause much trouble. Moreover, this family needs a man to support them. Without a man, everyone will want to take advantage of us. We can't keep burning their houses and hair, can we? Would that still be a peaceful village? It would become a bald village."

As she said this, Xiao Nan's eyes flickered. She wasn't a young girl; her soul belonged to a woman nearing forty.

"Haha, Master, you're so funny. Let me ask you something."

Ask away, I'll answer whatever I know.

"Did you and him fall in love before having a baby, or had a baby first and then fell in love?"

Xiao Nan frowned and said, "Let's get the marriage certificate first, keep him around, slowly build up our relationship, and then have a baby. Sleeping with him directly is impossible; I'm not that open-minded."

"His appearance in his previous life was that of a general in a movie. Master, you have excellent taste."

"And what about me?"

"Haha, Master, you look like a young lady from a wealthy family."

"Pah, I'm not going to be some kind of young lady. I'd rather be a country girl. I've heard that the older the ancient times, the more rules and etiquette there are. I don't want to have any entanglements with those people."

Xiao Nan glanced at Meng Fei, who was working, and then turned and went to the kitchen.

Just as she turned around, Meng Fei also looked up at her back, his gaze filled with some doubt.

Xiao Nan seemed different from the other women he had seen, and didn't fit in with the people here, including the old woman in the house.

He found it particularly novel. He liked Xiao Nan's forthright personality, but he wasn't used to it and could only accept it slowly.

In short, he still had feelings for her.

In the kitchen, Xiao Nan was busy making braised noodles. She and her grandmother used bowls, while Meng Fei used a basin.

He alone ate several times more than she and her grandmother combined.

When it was time to eat, the rain had stopped in the yard, so the dining table was set up in the yard. When Meng Fei sat down, there was a bowl of noodles in front of him, topped with meat sauce. The smell made his mouth water, and even his grandmother did.

I used to eat cold noodles, but now I eat hot braised noodles. The noodles have been rinsed in cold water, so they taste refreshing.

"What are you all looking at? Are you eating?"

Xiao Nan was the first to pick up his bowl and start eating. There were also a few peeled garlic cloves on the table.

She ate noodles and garlic at the same time. Seeing that she was enjoying her food, Grandma and Meng Fei also picked up garlic and ate it with their noodles.

Neither of them had ever eaten garlic like this before. One bite made them want to vomit from the spiciness, but when they chewed the noodles and garlic together, they had a surprisingly unique flavor.

It conveniently cut through the greasiness of the cured meat, and they found this way of eating quite novel.

No one said a word, and they started eating noisily.

Meng Fei felt that this bowl of noodles was the most delicious he had ever eaten, even...

I don't know who Xiao Nan learned his cooking skills from, but they are even better than the chefs in the restaurant.

He developed another layer of affection for Xiao Nan. First, she saved him; second, she was generous; third, she was beautiful; and fourth, she was a good cook. He hoped to discover more of her good qualities in the future.

During his conversation with the old woman that morning, Meng Fei learned about Xiao Nan's past: she was an orphan, had lost part of her memory, and was tricked into coming to the Zhang family...

Meng Fei wasn't interested in whether Xiao Nan was divorced or not; as long as the woman was of good character and he liked her, nothing else mattered.

Therefore, he didn't mind Xiao Nan's affairs with the Zhang family. Moreover, according to Grandma, she left the Zhang family on her own initiative, which meant that she divorced that scumbag, which he greatly admired.

In the afternoon, the water outside had not completely receded, so the wedding registration was postponed.

Meng Fei's arrival forced Xiao Nan to change his plans; the donkey cart trip at the end of the year was brought forward, as transportation was essential.
