Meng Ranyue's mother sat on the ground, crying out of breath, "What a shame! I worked so hard to save that money for your dowry, but now it's all gone."

"Mom, you can still earn money if you lose it. It's so late, you should go home and talk if you have anything to say. Uncle Xie and the others also need to rest." Meng Ranyue went to help her mother, but her mother just wouldn't get up.

"I don't care. Village chief, you have to give me some advice. Otherwise, I won't leave."

The people watching the fun nearby, still holding melon seeds in their hands, said, "Haha, Meng Laosi, your woman is not going to leave the village chief's house."

"If my daughter can't get married, do you want me to get married?"

Meng Laosi picked up his shoes and threw them in front of those people who were telling lies, but his shooting was not accurate and he didn't recognize them. "What nonsense are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense. Go back to where you came from."

Lin Li didn't continue listening and fell asleep in a daze. In the end, she didn't know how they solved the matter.

The weather is getting hotter, but farm work cannot be delayed for a moment.

Fruit trees need to be planted on the hillside next to the farm. Lin Li is responsible for distributing the seedlings, which is not a hard job.

That is, I have to run up and down several times a day, and my clothes are soaked with sweat.

Meng Ranyue and Lin Li have the same mission, so they are bound to meet each other.

"You must have heard it last night. You were secretly happy about it."

"I didn't notice." Lin Li put the sapling into the basket, picked up the kettle and took a big sip of water, "I don't know what you said."

"I don't believe it. It's right in your yard, how could you not know about it?" Meng Ranyue put her hands on her waist, looking like she was going to accuse someone.

"so what?"

"I'm telling you, don't be complacent. If you hadn't interfered with the relationship between me and Brother Xie, you wouldn't be living such a leisurely life now."

Lin Li couldn't understand. It was clearly Meng Ranyue's family affair, so how did it get involved with her?

Isn't Meng Ranyue just making excuses? No wonder Xie Yu wants to break up with her. Who can stand this kind of thing?

"I have nothing to fear from my own evildoers. Whatever you say, I am not the kind of person who would take advantage of someone's misfortune."

I'm afraid the whole village knows what happened last night. Lin Li won't take it as a joke and laugh at it from time to time. It's meaningless.

Carrying the saplings on their backs, they headed up the mountain. Lin Li didn't want to waste time talking to Meng Ranyue. It was simply a waste of time. If they didn't distribute all the saplings, today's task would not be completed and they would be even more tired tomorrow.

As spring goes and autumn comes, the leaves on the trees turn yellow and fall. The lake beside the big tree at the entrance of the village is full of fallen leaves.

My little nephew can walk now, and I guess he will be able to run in a while.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Li has been here for almost three years, and Xie Yu has been here for almost two years.

Every household has put up couplets, and this is the happiest time of the year.

The Xie family’s couplets are written by the village chief himself every year. Some families in the village who are illiterate also have their couplets written by the village chief.

Murakami distributed meat to everyone, and they could finally eat meat. They had prepared the dumpling skins and were just waiting for the meat filling.

The whole family was busy in the kitchen. The eldest brother shot a pheasant and a rabbit, and the village chief and the eldest brother were cleaning up in the yard.

"Sister-in-law, you should take a rest. We are here in the kitchen. Don't overwork yourself." Lin Li put on an apron, washed her hands, and started making dumplings.

"No, it's not tiring. It's New Year's Day, I can't just watch you guys busy, I have to lend a hand."

Just a few days ago, my sister-in-law was not feeling well, so she went to see a doctor, and then she found out that she was pregnant again.

Xie Xiaohong was a little kid, and she also learned to make dumplings. When Lin Li was her age, she didn't know how to do anything but play around with other kids.

Every time she returned home, her sister and mother had prepared meals, and the Spring Festival was no exception. Lin Li only needed to play and didn't have to worry about anything else.

The main dish tonight is dumplings, with both meat and vegetarian fillings. My brother originally wanted to catch a few fish, for surplus every year and a good omen. Unfortunately, the river was frozen and there was no way to catch fish.

Li Hong cooked other dishes, and left the dumplings to Lin Li and the others.

The family was busy for a while before they prepared the New Year's Eve dinner, and everyone sat around the dining table.

"Let's have a drink together. We've all worked hard." The village chief raised his glass.

Lin Li doesn't know how to drink. She drinks rice wine, while the men drink white wine. The rice wine is made by Li Hong, but Lin Li doesn't have the skill to make it.

She wanted to learn from Li Hong and show it to her family when she got home, but Li Hong said that she had made more this year, so she would wait for Lin Li to return to the city and bring some back, and then teach Lin Li how to make it next year.

After coming here, I haven't had the chance to go back during the Spring Festival. In the past few years, Lin Li's parents have been celebrating the festival alone, so the house is definitely not lively at all.

Before she got married, Lin Li wanted to find a son-in-law who would live with her family. After all, her sister was already married, and if she left home too, there would be no one to take care of her parents.

However, things don't always go as planned and the world is unpredictable. In order to have a way out, Lin Li married Xie Yu and she didn't know when she could go home.
