Yang Yongxian held Liao Meiying's hand: "It's good to spend time with your mother-in-law. This trip to perform hasn't allowed me to invite your mother-in-law and aunt over to watch the play..."

"Don't say that, you've done enough. Others may not understand, but as your wife, I do!" said Liao Meiyin.

Yang Yongxian tightened his grip on Liao Meiying's hand and said with emotion, "What more could a husband ask for with a wife like this!"

Liao Meiying soon finished packing her things and went to the east wing of the backyard with Yang Yongxian to report the situation to Lao Yangtou and Tan Shi.

Old Yang said, "Your father likes to drink. Come, take this jar of Shaodao wine from my house and bring it to your father."

Those two bottles of Shadaozi were given by Yang Hua and his friends to their father, Lao Yangtou, during the Lunar New Year. Lao Yangtou didn't have many hobbies, just liked to drink a few mouthfuls.

No matter if there's food or not, even if there's only a dish of peanuts, I can have a few bites. That's how it's always been my whole life.

This gesture of giving the favorite cleaver to her daughter-in-law's father is a great honor, and Liao Meiying understands and appreciates it deeply.

"Then I'll toast to your father on his behalf." said Liao Meiying, happily accepting the wine, and then she left the village with Yang Yongxian.

The two of them were originally planning to borrow a horse-drawn carriage from Yang Huaming, but Yang Huaming drove the carriage out early in the morning with Xiao Juan and Tie Dan to have fun in town.

The young couple then went to their Uncle Yang Huazhong's house at the entrance of the village and borrowed a carriage. Yang Yongxian drove the carriage, taking Liao Meiyin to near the entrance of Liaojia Village, before letting her off and going into the village himself.

"It's afternoon already, so I won't go in. When I come to pick you up in two days, I'll arrive during the day and visit." Yang Yongxian said.

Liao Meiyng nodded and instructed Yang Yongxian: "Take it slow on your way back, and remember to put on an extra layer of clothing when reading at night. Don't read too late, or you'll damage your eyes."

After giving a heartfelt farewell, Liao Meiying watched Yang Yongxian drive away until the carriage disappeared from sight. Only then did she turn and enter the village.

When Liao Meiyng entered the house, her mother was feeding chickens in the yard, "cluck cluck cluck cluck..."

Liao's mother scattered a handful of rice, and a bush hen with a brood of chicks surrounded Liao's mother's feet pecking at the rice on the ground.

While his father sat on a small stool beside him, his feet resting on a bundle of straw and in his hands a stalk of straw, he was busy weaving straw sandals.

This scene was all too familiar to Liao Meiyin. For so many years, she had lived at home and every year when the Lunar New Year came to an end, most of the relatives and friends who visited would have already left.

Then, brother-in-law and sister-in-law will take the two nephews and niece to their mother's house and stay there until early February before returning home. Then, only her parents would be left at home.

The chicks hatched and are all out, now it's time to think about catching some piglets.

But as for his father, whenever he had free time, he would be busy weaving straw sandals to wear when spring arrived and it was time to work in the fields.

A peasant family works hard on the farm. They don't need much else, just their strength and shoes.

If you wear cloth shoes to work, it's a waste of things. Going barefoot isn't good either, so wearing straw sandals is the best choice.

But straw sandals are not durable, so father always has to prepare ten or twenty pairs to feel at ease.

The familiar scene, the familiar parents, Liao Meiyin's eyes welled up with warmth, she called out "Father, Mother" and pushed open the simple courtyard gate made of bamboo to enter the yard.

　　Mrs. Liao raised her head and saw her daughter enter the courtyard. The woman was overjoyed, dropping the rice-filled gourd in her hand and rushing to greet her.

"Meiying, how come you're back?" The woman excitedly came to Liao Meiying and looked her up and down.

Well, my girl hasn't lost weight, but her complexion isn't good. There's a faint shadow under her eyes, like she hasn't slept well.

“Where’s your brother-in-law? Why did you come back alone?” Father Liao also stopped his work and followed Mother Liao to the entrance of the courtyard.

Hearing Father Liao's question, Mother Liao only then noticed that indeed only her daughter had entered the courtyard, with no one behind her.

"Maying, you're the only one who came back?" Mrs. Liao also asked.

Liao Meiyin smiled and said, "Yongxian sent me to the village entrance. He originally wanted to come in and sit for a while. I thought it was afternoon, and it wasn't quite proper, so I asked him to come back and pick me up before noon, and have lunch together then."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liao was instantly relieved and said repeatedly, "That's good, that's good! I saw you come back alone and was startled. I thought you two were having a fight!"

Li's father frowned at Li Meiyin, "My daughter, you really don't know how to talk. Our family isn't like other families. You need to come over in the morning and afternoon?"

“We've reached the doorstep, and you still won't let your brother-in-law in for a cup of tea. It's truly because Eternal Fairy is so kind; if it were me, I would have had enough long ago!”

Liao Meiyin smiled faintly.

Mrs. Liao glared at Mr. Liao: “Is our daughter or our son-in-law more important? Our daughter rarely comes back, and you are still criticizing her! You have no manners!”

Then Mr. Liao said nothing more.

Liao Meiying smiled and raised her hands, holding up what she had brought. "Dad, Mom, look, I brought you some things back."

Upon seeing this, Mother Liao was amazed. Her daughter's hands were full of things!

"Just come back, why bring anything! Come here, let me help you carry it. Oh my, what is this? It's so heavy!"

“It’s wine, two jars of it. The Ever-Immortal Lord had me bring them to my father. He said my father would like this kind, that it's good wine!”

"Oh, Auntie Yongxian is being too polite. He's your father's senior, so according to custom, we should be offering him wine! I didn't expect him to offer wine to your father instead. This is truly an honor for you and your family!" Mrs. Liao said with a smile, her eyes and brows filled with joy.

Mr. Liao was also surprised, and followed behind helping to carry the other things, "Look, even Master Yongxian still remembers me for a few drinks. You're good, Master Yongxian traveled all the way here and you just sent him away at the doorstep! Really!"

Although it was a scolding, Liao's father scolded Liao Meiying, Liao's mother scolded Liao's father, and Liao Meiying laughed in between. However, there was joy of reunion among the three.

After some pleasantries, Father Liao returned to the courtyard to continue his straw sandal making. Liao Meiying accompanied Mother Liao into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

“Mother, when are my brother and sister-in-law leaving for their family home?” Liao Meiying asked, settling down by the stove.

Liao's mother said: "Three days ago, your sister-in-law's uncle came to take her away. He said that this year your sister-in-law's father is turning sixty, and all of your sister-in-law's brothers and sisters went to celebrate with him."

"It'll probably be mid-February before we can come back, it's a shame. If you had come back a few days earlier, you could have met your two nephews and nieces."

Liao Meiying nodded. "Yes, it would have been better if I had come back a few days earlier. However, this time I came back on a whim.

Upon hearing this, Liao Mu, who was in the middle of washing pork belly with rice water, stopped her movements and looked towards Liao Meiying at the hearth.

"My dear girl, is something bothering you? There are no outsiders here, tell your mother everything!"
