There is a small stream in front of Zhaojiagou Village, the stream water is clear and transparent, although the stream is not wide, the water depth is only a little above the calf, but it is still very convenient to wash and scrub. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Along the stream, there are sturdy mud houses, and the roofs of several buildings are covered with sturdy green tiles.

Zhao Jiagou's family conditions are better, and they all live by the stream. Only a few families were so poor that they couldn't afford to build mud houses, and a few thatched huts were built close to the side of the mountain.

Zhao Qingshan's family lives in the second house at the head of the village, with a spacious courtyard house and a bright big tile house, which is the most magnificent building in Zhaojiagou.

There is a six- or seven-meter-long step built by the stream, and it is very convenient for the villagers to wash clothes or something, and they can put it on the steps to rub and pat.

This morning, Zhao Yunxiang went to the stream to wash clothes.

"Rue, here and here. A little daughter-in-law who was about the same age as Zhao Yunxiang raised her hand and beckoned Zhao Yunxiang to her side.

On the long steps, several eldest aunts and little daughters-in-law vacated the things in their hands to make room for Zhao Yunxiang. Zhao Qingshan's status in Zhaojiagou is not low, and the villagers also look up to the Zhao family.

"Biyun. Aunt Gu, the eldest sister. Zhao Yunxiang said hello to everyone. After leaving the village for a few years, some of the little daughters-in-law who have been married in for a long time, Zhao Yunxiang doesn't know, but she is a polite person, and it is appropriate to say hello with a smile.

Wang Biyun saw that Zhao Yunxiang had looked a lot haggard in recent years, and she secretly felt a lot more comfortable.

Wang Biyun was Zhao Yunxiang's friend when she was a girl, when Zhao Yunxiang was not married, Wang Biyun often went to Zhao's house to play, and the two of them were together to take on the soles of their shoes, knit sweaters or something.

After Zhao Yunxiang got married, Wang Biyun married a young man in the village, and now she is also the mother of two children.

"Hey~ Rue Xiang, I heard that you didn't get along well with your mother-in-law's house, so you just went back to your parents' house to live for a few days, didn't you?" Wang Biyun was very curious, how did the most beautiful and virtuous girl in Zhaojiagou fall to the point where she is now. In the countryside, being disliked by your in-laws is not a good reputation.

Zhao Yunxiang silently washed the clothes on her hands, turning a deaf ear to Wang Biyun's words.

Yes, she Zhao Yunxiang may be a pitiful person in the eyes of others, but no matter what, it is not Wang Biyun's turn to pity her. Zhao Yunxiang is soft-hearted, which doesn't mean that she can't hear the malice in Wang Biyun's words.

The creek has always been the gossip gathering place of Zhaojia Village. There are only about 20 households in Zhaojia Village, and now there are five or six people gathered by the stream.

Back then, Wang Biyun, as Zhao Yunxiang's friend, had a lot of benefits for her. Including the rice and noodles that were brought back from Zhao's house from time to time, as well as the "old" clothes that Zhao Yunxiang had not put on a few times.

"Rue Xiang, you are really stupid, the Zhou family treats you badly, you won't go to the army to find your family Zhixin? Your family Zhixin is not at home, what's the use of you going back to your mother's house? It's not a waste of your mother's rice and grain?" Wang Biyun saw that Zhao Yunxiang didn't say anything, thinking that Zhao Yunxiang was ashamed of her, and continued to chirp and express her opinions.

When Zhao Yunxiang got married, the girls in the village were envious of her marrying well, her husband was a soldier in the army, and he was talented.

Wang Biyun was very unconvinced, feeling that all the good things in this world were taken up by Zhao Yunxiang. From childhood to adulthood, Zhao Yunxiang has always been spoiled by Zhao Qingshan, and Zhao Jiagou is the only girl who can go to junior high school. The other girls all dropped out of elementary school after a year or two.

In this era, it is a luxury for the boys in the family to go to school, and the half-grown boy can go to the production team to earn centimeters, and the food in the stomach of each family is linked to centimeters. The centimeters earn more, and when they divide the grain, they divide more.

Zhao Yunxiang lost her mother at a young age, so it stands to reason that she should be a poor baby. Unexpectedly, Zhao Qingshan didn't even marry his wife anymore for the sake of his children, and he was very kind to his two children.

Zhao Qingshan has a salary and subsidies, and he has a prosperous life with two children, and many people's eyes are hot!

What about Wang Biyun's family? She is the youngest, and she has three older brothers. Wang Biyun felt that she was a pitiful worm compared to Zhao Yunxiang.

Wang Biyun went to primary school for two years, and his family stopped going to school, raising pigs, feeding chickens, doing housework, and taking his nephews and nieces. At the age of twelve or thirteen, she followed her family to work in the production team, and when she came home, she had to be busy with housework, and the most hateful thing was that no one said she was good at doing so many things, and she couldn't eat enough, and it was good not to be scolded all day long.

"Sister-in-law Biyun, your iron pillar is good to you, why haven't you been allowed to sit for two months, and you went to the ground after giving birth?" Zhao Yunxiang has only lived in her parents' house for a few days, and Wang Biyun often spreads some rumors that Zhao Yunxiang is not good for Zhao Yunxiang in the village.

The little daughter-in-law heard her mother-in-law say that this Wang Biyun is not a thing, a white-eyed wolf, she used to stain Zhao Yunxiang with a lot of light, but she said bad things about Zhao Yunxiang behind her back, and she was not grateful at all.

Rural people are simple, and they pay attention to repaying kindness and quarreling with grievances. People who smile in front of them and stick a knife in the back are not pleasing to people.

Wang Biyun's confinement has been talked about in Zhaojiagou for several years.

When a woman gives birth to a child, one foot is considered to have stepped into the ghost gate. At the boundary of Yuyuan County, no matter how poor the family is, they will let their daughter-in-law sit in confinement after giving birth, and they will not be able to work in the field for at least 30 days.

Wang Biyun did not have this treatment, and went to the ground three days after giving birth to two children.

Wang Biyun secretly hated. If it weren't for Zhao Yunxiang's refusal to help her introduce a person from the city, would she Wang Biyun use to marry Tie Zhu's wreck? Tie Zhu Niang is a spicy person, after Wang Biyun passed the door, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fought several times, and Wang Biyun was completely defeated.

When she was confined, Wang Biyun originally wanted to give birth to a son to take Qiao, so that Tiezhu Niang was not used to her, and took the fact that she went to work in the field after giving birth to Tiezhu, so that Wang Biyun entered her own trap.

was poked by the little daughter-in-law's lungs and trachea, Wang Biyun's face was red, but she couldn't reply half a sentence, so she had to splash her clothes on the stone slab.

"Ruexiang, Yuanyuan is much better, isn't it? Later, my aunt will take Xiaocao to your house and find Yuanyuan to play with. The grass loves the garden. Aunt Gu beside Wang Biyun opened her mouth to play a round.

Tie Zhu is the nephew of Aunt Gu, Wang Biyun, the nephew and daughter-in-law, poked out the basket, and she, who is an aunt, has no choice but to help Yuanyuanzi.

"Thank you, Auntie, Yuanyuan has been fine for a long time. Xiaocao's child, playing well with Yuanyuan, although the eldest mother brought her over. Zhao Yunxiang showed a smile at Aunt Gu.

Aunt Gu has a good heart, before Zhao Yunxiang got married, many things in her daughter's family were instructed by Aunt Gu.

Xiaocao is the granddaughter of Aunt Gu, and she is the same age as Yuanyuan this year.

After Yuan Yuan came to Zhaojia Village, he drilled into the pile of medical books in Zhao Qingshan's house all day long. Sometimes I hold a book in my hand and am reluctant to let go from morning to night.
