After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

Two days later, Painter Xiao Qi was released from prison as expected, and Jin Baochai happily went to pick up her husband.

Wang Yugui was watching from afar. After not seeing him for six months, Painter Qi looked in good spirits. He was not thin, but rather a little fatter than when he was outside.

I heard that his father spent some money to ask the prison boss and jailer to take care of him, so he had good food and drink in prison.

"Oh, that's strange. How come Painter Xiao Qi gained weight while in prison?" The eldest sister didn't understand.

Wang Yugui smiled but said nothing. Then he heard his elder sister ask him, "Brother, do people in prison just eat and do nothing in prison, and thus gain weight?"

"Haha, no, it's not that good." Wang Yugui laughed, and then said: "They also have to work, and the food they eat won't be very good either."

"But if the family is willing to spend money, the food can be very good!"

"Oh, I see. It must be Sister Jin who spent the money." The eldest sister nodded as if she suddenly realized something.

Wang Yugui laughed: "How much money can Miss Jin have? It was the old painter Qi who spent the money!"

"Ah, Master Qi? Didn't he ignore Master Qi and Sister Jin?" The eldest sister was surprised.

Wang came out and heard it. She laughed, "Hey, that's just talk. Painter Xiao Qi is his biological son. How can he really not care about him?"

As he said this, he also looked at the opposite side and said: "Look how happy Baochai is, her little face is all red."

"Of course Sister Jin is happy. It's the end of the year now and Painter Xiao Qi is back. She won't have to spend the New Year alone." The eldest sister laughed.

Wang also laughed: "Yes, oh, this year has passed so quickly, in the blink of an eye it's New Year again!"

"Brother, are we still going to make lanterns this year? I see that Mr. Xia next door has started selling paper and bamboo strips for making lanterns." The eldest sister suddenly remembered making lanterns and asked Wang Yugui.

Wang Yugui smiled and said: "We won't make lanterns this year. At the end of the year, I've received work from several big shops painting winter scenes and New Year pictures."

"Some wealthy families have made requests for portraits, so our store also needs to prepare some New Year paintings."

"Lu's Embroidery Workshop is busy drawing some panda patterns!"

Then he sighed and said, "Making lanterns is too troublesome. The whole family is busy and I have to paint the lanterns one by one."

"The price of the lanterns is not that high. It's not worth it. I'd rather sell a few more paintings!"

"So, let's not make lanterns this year. Let's just take a good rest and have some fun during the New Year."

"Yes, Gui'er, you are right." Wang nodded and said, "We are fine making lanterns, but your brother is too tired. His wrists were sore from painting the lanterns last year!"

"Let the lantern-making craftsmen make the money. We won't make any money from it!"

"Yes, mother, you are right, we will listen to our brother." The eldest sister nodded and smiled.

He also said, "Then for this year's Lantern Festival, we can ask Chunsheng and his family to come over earlier and spend a few more days. They don't have much to do in the village anyway!"

"Okay, next time Chunsheng comes, you can tell him, haha" Wang Yugui laughed

I thought to myself: Hehe, your brother will also go to the Tan Mansion to pay New Year’s greetings this year, and maybe even go boating on the lake with Miss Tan!

The three mothers were chatting happily in the store, when suddenly, there was a "crackling" sound of bowls and pots breaking from the opposite side, which scared the three of them.

"Oh, what kind of ritual is this? I have to smash pots after coming back from prison?" Wang Yugui said as he looked up at the opposite side.

Wang frowned: "Gui'er, what nonsense are you talking about? I've only heard that people have to jump over fire basins when they come back from prison, but there's no need to break basins!"

"Yes, filial sons only break pots during funerals," the eldest sister also chimed in.

Oh my god, Wang Yugui was speechless even by the elder sister. She was going too far with this matter. What does it have to do with anything?

"Oh, it seems like Baochai is crying. Could it be that the couple had a quarrel?" Wang looked across and frowned.

Wang Yugui also saw Jin Baochai wiping her tears, and the painter Xiao Qi seemed to be cursing something angrily.

"Hey, what's going on?" Zhang's wife, the proprietress, heard the noise and ran out to see what was going on.

Wang Yugui could hear her loud voice clearly from across the street.

The Zhang family's lady boss ran to the door of Xiao Qi's calligraphy and painting shop, took a look, and called out again: "Oh, Baochai, your painter Xiao Qi is back, you should be happy."

"Why are you still crying? Why? Hey, Painter Xiao Qi, what happened to you? Why did you drop the bowl?"

"Mom, go and take a look too." Wang heard this and hurried over.

The eldest sister followed closely behind: "Mom, wait for me, I want to go too!"

As he walked out, he turned back and told Wang Yugui: "Brother, you stay and look after the store!"

Wow, Wang Yugui was speechless. They went to watch the fun and asked me to watch the store? Don’t I like watching the fun?

"Ask her what she did. Damn it, she's a traitor. She emptied my house while I was away! And she still has the nerve to cry!" Suddenly, an angry roar came from the other side.

Wang Yugui was startled. He just sat down, then quickly stood up and stretched his neck to look opposite.

Painter Xiao Qi angrily pushed Jin Baochai away as he spoke, left his shop, and headed east...

Only Jin Baochai was left crying in the store!

Everyone surrounded Jin Baochai and asked her questions, but she just kept crying and didn't answer.

Wang saw that more and more people were watching and it was not a good idea for Jin Baochai to cry like this.

She asked her eldest sister to take Jin Baochai to her own shop, and called Wang Yugui over to help close the door of Xiao Qi's calligraphy and painting shop. Only then did the people who came to watch the fun disperse after talking a lot.

Wang Yugui saw that it was getting late, so he came back and closed his shop.

When I entered the backyard, I saw Jin Baochai still covering her face and crying!

Wang Yugui noticed that she always covered her face and was a little puzzled: Oh, was she beaten by Painter Xiao Qi?

The eldest sister took a clean handkerchief and handed it to Jin Baochai: "Sister Jin, don't cry. You have been crying for a long time. Don't cry and hurt yourself!"

"Oh, yes, Baochai, wipe your face. If you have anything to say, tell your aunt." Wang also hurriedly advised

Then he asked, "Why did Painter Xiao Qi suddenly get angry and quarrel with you?"

"I saw you two were happily chatting and laughing in the store just now. What's going on?"

Jin Baochai wiped her face and looked at Wang Shi while sobbing: "Aunt, I, I can't say anything, I am dead wronged!"
