Zhang Wuliang also knew his concerns and said, "I originally planned to burn some in a few days for next year. If you are interested, you can come and have a look."

Brother Zhang was relieved when he heard that he was going to use it. After all, no one would joke about their own fields, so he nodded and said, "Okay, when do you plan to burn it?"

Zhang Wuliang thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it the day after tomorrow afternoon. I'll prepare some things in the next two days."

Big Brother Zhang said "OK", and the matter was settled.

Chen Baoer listened beside him and said nothing. She peeled a peanut in her hand, but her eyes were darting around. It was obvious that she was planning something bad.

Zhang Wuliang saw it, but didn't point it out. He just stroked his head with his hand. Chen Baoer was small, and he almost fell on the table. He stood up and rolled his eyes at Zhang Wuliang, who was amused by him.

The group chatted for a while, and it was time to make lunch. The women and girls of the Chen family went to the kitchen, and the men moved their chat group to the yard.

The Chen family has always arranged for the wives of several families to take turns cooking.

Today it was the turn of the eldest family, and the main chefs were Chen Mao's wife Chen Lin and Chen Yan's wife Chen Sun. As early as when Chen Mao and Chen Yan got married, Aunt Chen stopped cooking. But because there were guests today, everyone helped in the kitchen.

Chen Xiaonian followed his mother and helped wash the vegetables. Chen Xiaonian drew a bucket of water from the well. Then he found two small stools and squatted by the well with Chen's mother to wash the vegetables.

Chen's mother looked at his quick work, nodded and said, "You are not unfamiliar with this work."

After hearing this, Chen Xiaonian raised his head and smiled at Chen's mother.

Chen Amu continued, "After getting married, it's better for this brother to be at home. You've just got married, so be careful about everything and don't make your husband and mother-in-law angry. I heard that the Zhao family's aunt doesn't seem to be in good health and can't do much work. You should be more diligent in your husband's family and help your mother-in-law with more things. This way, your mother-in-law will like you more and you will suffer less grievances." Chen Xiaonian nodded, "I know."

Before getting married, Chen's mother had said these words to Chen Xiaonian repeatedly. Chen Xiaonian didn't feel annoyed when she heard them again. If you don't manage the household, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Chen Xiaonian got married herself and knew how hard her mother worked.

Chen's mother nodded. She knew that her brother was not a lazy person.

Then she raised her head and looked at Zhang Wuliang at the other end of the yard, and whispered: "How is Daniu treating you?"

Chen Xiaonian also lowered his voice and replied: "Brother Zhang is very good, and he is also good to me."

He thought about it and told Chen Am about what happened at the dinner table that morning. He was embarrassed to say what Zhang Wuliang said on the wedding night.

Chen Am looked at him and observed his expression carefully, fearing that he would only report good news and not bad news, and take everything on his own.

Chen Xiaonian saw that Chen Am didn't say anything, thought about it and said: "Brother Zhang didn't go out for the past three days, and he has been at home with me."

Chen Am didn't see a trace of reluctance on his face, so she was relieved. Thinking of Zhang Wuliang peeling peanuts for his brother in the main room before, Zhang Wuliang should like his brother very much.
