When Next Year Comes, I'll Marry You

The next day.

The whole Jiang family turned out to harvest peanuts, and Zhou Xinyan went along too.

Jiang Hao had often worked in the fields before high school, but rarely did so after going to college. The Jiang family had planted half a mu of peanuts. The old couple did not need machinery to harvest them; they just moved them home bit by bit.

Jiang Hao drove Dad Jiang's old electric tricycle out of the village. Dad Jiang and Mom Jiang sat in the cargo bed, while Zhou Xinyan sat beside Jiang Hao. When they passed a group of women chatting by the roadside, someone spotted Zhou Xinyan and said to Mom Jiang, "Second Sister-in-law, Jiang Hao's wife is here? And you're bringing her out to work in the fields?"

"Auntie, she's a graduate student. You should be treating her like a treasure, yet you're making her work in the fields with you?"

Being called Jiang Hao's wife made Zhou Xinyan terribly embarrassed.

Jiang Hao knew exactly what these village aunties were like. They were practically mythical beasts of the town and village.

Mom Jiang was not intimidated in the slightest by this lineup of village aunties. She raised her voice and said, "They came back to see us the moment their vacation started. I said I was going to dig up some peanuts, and they insisted on coming along. I couldn't stop them even if I tried."

Everyone could hear the bragging in her voice.

"Second Sister-in-law, when are we getting Xiao Hao's wedding candy?" one woman asked.

"Soon, soon!" Mom Jiang said with a smile.

Zhou Xinyan secretly glanced at Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao looked back at her and whispered, "If anything happens to anyone in this village, the whole village will know within half a day."
