On the Dragon Boat Festival, Wang Chunhua got a few salted duck eggs from somewhere. When they drank porridge in the morning, she gave half of them to everyone in the family, she then hung wormwood at the door. Apart from that, it was no different from ordinary days.

In the morning, He Xiaoyun walked home from the river after washing her clothes. She heard the loudspeakers at the entrance of the village announcing there. The commune's projection team will show a movie at the threshing ground tonight for everyone to watch.

During the slack season, the screening team would go to the countryside and take turns showing films in each brigade. This time, it happened to be the Qingshuihe brigade's turn during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Someone next to He Xiaoyun was on the same road. She heard the radio and asked, "Xiaoyun, are you going to the movies tonight?"

He Xiaoyun smiled, "I will, I'll take the child with me, he's restless. We will take a look."

"Yes, the three-year-old kid, chubby and naughty."

Entering the courtyard gate, she saw Wei Yuanhang sitting on a small stool gnawing on the rice dumplings. The rice dumplings at home had been wrapped a few days earlier, they were almost finished by now.

He Xiaoyun dried her clothes and was about to go back to her natal's home. Last time, her father had an injured foot. It's been several days. She didn't know if it was better. She want to go back to see if they needed any help at home.

He Xiaoyun talked to Wang Chunhua, then went to the bedroom and said to Wei Jianwei: "I'll go back to my natal home today, look at the child and don't let him play with mud." She intends to come back before lunch, bringing the child will inevitably slow her down, the kid has been a bit sticky to her recently.

"Is there something at home?" Wei Jianwei was reading in the room, when he saw her come in, he put the book down.

"No," He Xiaoyun combed her hair in front of the mirror and pulled her clothes, "Just going back to take a look."

"Do you need me?" He asked. He Xiaoyun didn't dare to ask him to go back with her, otherwise, her mother would cook eggs again when she saw her son-in-law come to the door, "I'll go alone."

After tidying up and going out, Wei Yuanhang wasn't seen in the yard. She listened to the voices and found the child was talking to his grandma in the backyard. He Xiaoyun quickly slipped away while he was distracted.

When she got to her natal home, Li Yuegui had just finished her housework and had taken a breather. When she saw He Xiaoyun, she stood up again, "Have you had breakfast? I'll get you a zongzi."

He Xiaoyun pressed her down to sit again and said, "I already ate a zongzi." As soon as she walked in, she saw the rice dumplings hanging on the beams of the room, just a small bunch of them, probably about ten, just save them for the elderly to eat.

"What about Dad? How are his feet?"

Li Yuegui sat down again. Hearing her questions, she said with anger: "After having breakfast, he went out, saying that he was bored at home and everything was boring. He just goes as he pleases! Don't he dare come to me saying his feet hurt!"

He Xiaoyun also moved a chair and sat down, she said with a smile: "If he can go out, it means nothing happened."

"Let's not talk about him, what about Jianwei? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"It's okay. If he came, it will cost you two eggs."

Li Yuegui playfully slapped her, "You kid, what are you talking about? Couples walk in pairs, no one will gossip about that."
