The scene of two women making dumplings, chatting and laughing, was deeply etched in his mind.

He cherished this warm feeling so much; he had never experienced it even when he was with his grandfather. It was wonderful.

Under the moonlight, the family sat around the table, with several large plates of plump white dumplings laid out.

Grandma said happily, "Mengfei, try this. It's called dumplings, and it's delicious. My daughter made some for me once when you weren't home."

Meng Fei was seeing it for the first time. He picked one up with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth. It was a little hot, but he still savored it for a while before swallowing.

"Delicious, so delicious! This flavor is amazing!"

The old woman burst into laughter: "I wonder what this girl's identity was before she lost her memory. She must have owned a big restaurant."

Meng Fei's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, "She should be even better than the restaurant; the dishes at the restaurant aren't as good as hers."

Xiao Nan smiled without saying a word, picking up a dumpling and eating it. He said it wasn't good because there wasn't enough seasoning, and he knew his own cooking skills were questionable.

They even complained while eating, saying that frozen food doesn't taste as good as homemade food!

After dinner, the family drank dumpling soup, gazed at the bright moon, and chatted.

"The rainy season is almost over, and it's time to plant the seeds in the ground. The ones from last time have grown so tall, it's such a pity."

"Well, I'll plant some more seeds in a few days. Just so you know, I'm going to plant the land myself, so don't help me."

Meng Fei couldn't help but wonder, "Why?"

"I want to try growing some grains that our Dragon Kingdom doesn't have. As for radishes and cabbages for winter, we'll spend money to stock up on them when the season comes."

"I see. Then just let me know when you need my help."

"Ok"

Xiao Nan glanced at the old woman, then looked at Meng Fei and said slowly, "Although we are husband and wife in the household registration, I have been tormented by the Zhang family for three years, and my body is severely depleted."

At this point, the old woman got up and went to the main room, knowing that she was out of place there.

After the old woman left, Xiao Nan continued.

"We cannot consummate our marriage within one year, and we cannot conceive within two years. Do you agree?"

Meng Fei's face flushed red, and he stammered.

"Grandma told me about your situation. I'm not a monkey, so I'm not in a hurry. We can consummate our marriage in two years."

"I need to recover for more than a year. After we get married, you can sleep in my room. If you don't want to, you can sleep in the other room."

Meng Fei quickly said, "I'll sleep, I'll sleep. But don't misunderstand, in winter, a room with only one bed is very cold. Here, only sleeping on a heated kang bed will be better."

"Hmm, I'm afraid you won't be able to resist."

"No, no, don't worry. From now on, if you tell me to face south, I will never face north. I will listen to whatever you say."

Xiao Nan chuckled, her bright eyes turning into crescent moons, so beautiful that Meng Fei was stunned; this was the first time he had ever stared at a girl like that.

This girl is now his wife, but he can't touch her.

Haha!

Under the moonlight, the two discussed some things. Afterwards, Meng Fei quickly tidied up the table and fled back to his room.

Oh my goodness, my wife is too frank; my little heart can't take it, it's beating too fast.

Xiao Nan went back to the house, picked out two pieces of fabric suitable for the old woman, and sent them to the main room.

“Grandma, you can’t dress badly on the day I marry him. There’s still some time before that day, so make two sets of clothes.”

The old woman quickly waved her hand: "You bought me a lot of clothes before, all of them were new, and some of them I haven't even worn yet."

"Those colors are old-fashioned, this color is bright."

The old woman stroked the cloth with a smile in her eyes, looking very much like it but hesitant to wear it.

"Don't worry about what others say. You're only in your early forties. I'll wear it when I get married, when I go out, or when I'm at home. I'm not afraid of what they say."

"Then, then I won't be polite and will do it?"

“Go ahead and do it. Tomorrow, I’ll put on the women’s clothes he bought for me and wear the jewelry. He bought it so I’d wear it, wouldn’t you say?”

"Yep,"

“You should wear it too. You don’t go out much anyway. Wear it for Meng Fei to see, and for yourself to see.”

"Okay, okay," the old woman said, tears welling up in her eyes again.

Xiao Nan gently wiped away her tears: "Don't cry too much, it's bad for your health. From now on, our family's life will get better and better."

The old woman nodded, turned around, and pulled a cloth bag from under the kang (a heated brick bed). Inside was a yellowed piece of paper. She placed the paper in Xiao Nan's hand and said:

“Girl, I know you’re capable. You keep our family’s land deed; I can’t protect it.”

"You should keep it yourself."

"No, no, what you've done for me is far more than what this family used to be. I feel so bad about it. Besides, I don't want to benefit those people in the village. Please, Grandma."

Xiao Nan sighed softly and put the paper into his pocket.

"Grandma, if one day I leave this place and take you with me, will you come with me?"

After a moment's thought, the old woman made up her mind and said, "As long as you can bury me with your grandfather after I die, that's fine."

Xiao Nan nodded: "Okay! I'll remember what you said. You can rest now."

She had just returned to her room when Longlong appeared.

"Master, I'm going to squat in the corner."

"You learn so fast."

“When Zhao came back, she didn’t cry or make a fuss. She was very quiet, as if nothing had happened.”

"That's pretty much what I guessed."

"Why? Isn't her family very powerful? Isn't the Zhang family very afraid of her?"

"Her status is what it is; she's Zhang Lao Er's sister-in-law. Do you think she would dare to cause trouble?"

"They don't dare to cause trouble in town, but they don't dare to cause trouble with her in-laws?"

"She probably saw that the bride was not as good as her and understood Zhang Lao Er's intentions, so she didn't make a fuss. However, Zhang Lao Er did not tell her about this in person. They will definitely make a fuss when they meet."

"Hurry up and make a scene, the better, the more blood is drawn, the fewer of these filthy things in the world will die."

Xiao Nan frowned and glared at Longlong angrily: "From now on, you should stay away from eavesdropping among the villagers. You say all sorts of things. Do you know you're a baby?"

"Babies grow up too, isn't it good for them to mature early?"

Xiao Nan ignored it, closed his eyes and thought about what to do next; he was too relaxed.

Buy a few small jars. After the rainy season, you can make a jar of sauce. Everyone in the family loves spicy food, so you can use it to make chili sauce, or noodles with soybean paste.

When the weather gets cooler, we can pickle sauerkraut, spicy vegetables, and other pickled vegetables.

She then checked if there was a small stone mill or sesame seeds in town, as she wanted to grind some sesame paste and also use some sesame oil.

Before winter, ask Meng Fei to buy some firewood, or cut some from the western mountain, and also buy some charcoal.

With cotton-padded clothes in hand, we also need to buy several pairs of cotton-padded shoes for each person. Thinking about this, I fell asleep without realizing it.

Meng Fei tossed and turned on the kang (a heated brick bed) unable to sleep; he was suffering from insomnia.

After that, he became an ordinary farmer and had no further contact with that side, unless his own grandfather contacted him.

Whether the Dragon Kingdom is good or bad is no longer his concern, and even if it is divided up by other countries, he will no longer care.

That incompetent and foolish ruler, who murdered his generals, truly deserves to die!

As he thought about it, he fell asleep, and his dreams were filled with scenes of him fighting the enemy on the battlefield.

Tears kept flowing from the corners of her eyes.

Early in the morning, Xiao Nan put the things Meng Fei had given her into her spatial storage, changed into women's clothing, wearing a light purple cotton dress, and styled her hair in a high bun with a hairpin in it.

A pair of exquisitely crafted earrings were put on through the ear piercings.

She put on the bracelet Meng Fei had bought for her and then went out of the house, only to find Meng Fei standing in front of her door.

The two exchanged a glance, and Meng Fei swallowed hard, grinning foolishly.

"Nan'er, I never expected you to look so beautiful in women's clothing, like a fairy."

"It's a pity she's not a fairy, she's a village girl."

"Pfft," the old woman laughed in front of the main room door.

"The village fairy."

"Ha ha"
