For more than ten days, the villagers gathered in Zhang’s yard to chat and chat.

　　Tian howled in the morning and cried out at noon.

　　Did Daniu kill the chicken again?

　　No, the beef stewed with rice, and the delicious smell spread to my house.

　　A few days later, Tian returned to her mother’s house with her bag on her back, and Zhang Zhuzi went after her. This was the third time, and everyone was used to it, but they still talked about it with great joy. Usually, it was Tian who made fun of others, but now it was Tian’s turn.

　　The joke was over. Some said that Tian deserved it, while others felt sorry for her and said that Daniu shouldn’t be angry with his mother, because it was either chicken or rice and noodles, which family could eat every day.

　　”What’s so pitiful about the Zhang family? It’s her who should be tortured.” Xing’er said resentfully. He still remembered that when he was not married and was at home, Tian said that he had a small butt and could not have a baby.

　　Xing Ge’er was so angry that he cried. He was not married yet, so he couldn’t interrupt and refute such people’s talk about having children, otherwise he would lose his reputation.

　　Now that Tian is being bullied by her son, Xing’er is happy. Whatever he hears every day, he is the first to learn it to Li Zhouzhou. Both of them have been bullied.

　　Li Zhouzhou knew that Xingger didn’t love Tian, ​​and he didn’t like her either. However, when he first heard about the things going on in the Zhang family’s courtyard, he felt relieved, but after hearing them too much, he no longer liked to listen to them.

　　It wasn’t that he felt sorry for Tian, ​​but what happened in her house had nothing to do with him, and he didn’t want to waste his energy on her. So he interrupted Xing’er’s next words and said, “I want to go to town in a few days, are you going?”

　　”Yes.” Xing Ge’er immediately followed Li Zhouzhou’s lead and said, “If we don’t go to town now, it will be difficult to travel if it snows heavily. When did it snow last year? It seems that it has snowed for three consecutive days not long ago. We don’t have much salt at home, but isn’t it too early to buy malt sugar and dried fruits now?”

　　Xing Ge’er was thinking about the family situation and said to himself, “I also need to buy some cotton cloth. Since there is almost a month left before the Chinese New Year, I will make Yuanyuan some new clothes. If you hadn’t told me, I would have forgotten the time. It goes by so fast.”

　　Yuanyuan is Xing’er’s son, born on the Lantern Festival last year, and is less than a year old. As autumn has come and the weather has cooled, Xing’er rarely takes the child out for a walk.

　　After Xing Ge’er finished speaking, he saw that Li Zhouzhou didn’t say anything, so he glanced down and asked, “Is there any movement in your stomach?”

　　”What’s the noise?” Li Zhouzhou knew what Xing Ge’er was asking, but he was just embarrassed. He looked calm and mature, pretending not to know.

　　Xing Ge’er snorted, “You’re still pretending.” But then he laughed again and said, “There’s no rush. When I got married, there was no news for more than a year. My mother-in-law kept asking about it and I only told you in private. I was so annoyed at that time. Fortunately, my family^[1]husband didn’t say much, and then I got pregnant.”

　　Knowing that Li Zhouzhou is a quiet person who doesn’t like to gossip, Xing Ge’er dared to say some bad things about his mother-in-law in front of Li Zhouzhou. At that time, he had been married for more than a year and there was no sign of pregnancy. His mother-in-law even complained about Zhang’s past saying that he was not good at getting pregnant. Xing Ge’er kept it in mind.

　　”I won’t say any more to you. Remember to call me if you go to town. I’m going back first.” Xing Ge rubbed his hands. It was really cold. He walked back holding the basin of clothes on the ground.

　　Li Zhouzhou nodded, carrying the laundry basin and walked towards home.

　　The corn bones at home were boiled clean, and there was nothing left to cook. The chicken that was killed ten days ago was also eaten long ago. This time I went to the town to buy more large bones, and also –

　　When Li Zhouzhou thought of what his husband said, his ears turned red and he wanted to buy more dried dates.

　　After lunch, Li Zhouzhou told his father that he wanted to go to town in two days. Li Da nodded and said, “Go earlier. It looks like the snow will fall earlier this year.”

　　”Then I’ll talk to Brother Xing this afternoon and go tomorrow.”

　　Gu Zhao looked at his wife, asking why he didn’t take him with him? Look at how pitiful he is.

　　Li Da turned his face away and pretended not to see his son-in-law’s appearance of a young wife. Li Zhouzhou couldn’t do anything with his young husband, so he whispered, “My husband, it’s cold and it’s getting dark quickly, so Xingge and I can go there early and come back early.”

　　Gu Zhao knew that his physical strength was holding him back, so he just wanted to act coquettishly with his wife.

　　”Zhou Zhou, I will miss you.”

　　Li Zhouzhou curled his lips. His husband is really like a child.

　　”I’ll buy you some caramel when I get back.”

　　Gu Zhao: …

　　”I’m not a child. I don’t eat maltose.” Gu Zhao said seriously.

　　Li Zhouzhou: “Okay, okay, my husband is not a child, let’s not eat maltose, let’s eat something else.”

　　The tone was completely like coaxing a child. Gu Zhao shamelessly rubbed against Zhou Zhou and said, “You clearly treat me like a child.”
