Dazhang Village is a large village with three or four hundred households six or seven miles away from Xiaozhang Village.

Not far from the village, there is a big river called Yokoe River. Therefore, although it has also been affected by the great drought in the world. However, the impact was modest. No, even in this spring famine season, the villagers here are not threatened by famine in the slightest.

Today, for Zhang Pandi, who married into Dazhang Village, it is an ordinary day that can no longer be ordinary.

She got up early in the morning as usual, and after saying good morning to her parents-in-law and mother-in-law, she diligently went about the essential housework every morning - washing rice, cooking rice, and washing clothes......

"Sister, do the laundry. Time passed, just when Zhang Pandi was sweating slightly. A voice that she couldn't be more familiar with rang in her ears.

"Ah, Ergou, you, why are you here?" Zhang Pandi quickly turned his head, and when he saw the person coming, his face suddenly showed a look of disbelief.

"Well, come and see you. Sister, are you tired, you rest first, and I'll wring it out for you. Looking at Zhang Pandi, who was sweating slightly on his forehead, Zhang Ergou was slightly distressed, and he took a few steps forward and took the watery coarse cloth clothes in Zhang Pandi's hand without saying anything.

Yes, in the eyes of others, Zhang Pandi married into Dazhang Village, and he was already regarded as a sparrow flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix, without food and clothing. However, his own family knows his own affairs. In fact, there is a harsh and harsh mother-in-law on his head, how can Zhang Pandi's life be better?

"Ergou, haven't you eaten yet, sister, I'll serve you a bowl." Looking at his skinny younger brother, Zhang Pandi's eyes were also filled with tears. She nodded slightly, and then, as if thinking of something. She didn't even bother to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, dropped such a sentence, and ran into the kitchen in a hurry.

"Sister, no. When Zhang Ergou heard this, he turned around and wanted to stop. However, at this time, where is the shadow of her sister behind him?

Most of the porridge is hot on the stove, and the rich aroma of rice is shining.

Zhang Pandi, who was holding a large porcelain bowl, did not dare to delay in the slightest. She quickly scooped up a bowl of thick sauce. I was going to send it to Zhang Ergou. At this moment, on the stove, the half-dustpan raw rice bran (half-cooked rice) that had been scooped up halfway and served on the dustpan suddenly appeared in her sight, and the next moment, she stopped her footsteps.

Yes, porridge is porridge after all, even if it is thicker, it is still porridge, and it is not hungry at all.

"No, Ergou came all the way to see me, even if I was scolded by my mother-in-law, I had to give Ergou a dry meal. Looking at the raw rice bran on the side, Zhang Pandi's face changed and changed, and finally, she gritted her teeth and made a decision. The next moment, she scooped out most of the bowl of raw rice bran from the dustpan.

"Sister, you, you are raw rice bran. Looking at the large porcelain bowl handed to him with the sharp raw rice bran, Zhang Ergou suddenly let out an exclamation.

"Eat, Ergou, hurry up and eat, it's okay, the rest of the family has gone to work in the fields." Didn't come back so soon. Zhang Pandi shook his head and urged.

"No, sister, I can't eat it, if your mother-in-law finds out, it will be time for you to be counted. Zhang Ergou took the coarse porcelain bowl in Zhang Pandi's hand, shook his head, and then turned around and walked to the kitchen.

"Ergouzi, what do you do, let you eat, you will eat. Seeing this, Zhang Pandi followed again and again. There was a clear hint of irritation on her face.

"Sister, I really don't need to. By the way, Dabao, haven't you gotten up yet?" he turned the raw rice bran back from the porcelain bowl and poured the porridge from the porcelain bowl back into the pot. Zhang Ergou smiled, and then, finally remembering the purpose of his trip, he asked.

"Well, I'm still asleep. Seeing that Ergou resolutely poured the porridge back into the pot, Zhang Pandi was a little distracted. What is the situation in her mother's family, although she is not very clear, but seeing the current appearance of Ergou, it is obvious that life is very sad. She couldn't understand why Ergou would refuse her kindness.

"I'll take a look. Hearing this, Ergou nodded, and then left the kitchen and walked to the west wing.

At this moment, in the courtyard in front of the door, a relieved voice suddenly came.

"Brother Pan, the porridge is cooked, and I'm starving to death. ”

"If you are not the biological son of the old lady, believe it or not, the old lady will break your leg every minute. A swearing voice sounded at the right time.

"Mother, don't be like this, I'm already a father, in front of my daughter-in-law, can you save me some face. Looking at Zhang Pandi, who hurriedly greeted him, a young man with a hoe on his shoulder, a thin figure, and a beautiful face muttered dissatisfiedly to a middle-aged woman beside him who was slightly blessed and carrying a vegetable basket.

"You are the master, that is also my son, the old lady can teach you how she wants. Faced with the dissatisfaction of young men, middle-aged women are not concerned. She snorted coldly and replied.

"Okay, let's not say a word, eat, eat, there is still a lot of work to be done in the field after eating. Next to the middle-aged woman, a middle-aged man with a tuft of goatee waved his hand impatiently.

"I'm going to see Dabao. The young man nodded and put down the hoe in his hand.

"Ergou, you, when did you come. The next moment, he let out an exclamation. But it was he who found Zhang Ergou who was quietly exiting the West Chamber.

"Shhhhh Zhang Ergou nodded and whispered softly.

"What are you doing so early? Have you had breakfast? Why don't you stay and have some food together?" The young man nodded, and then, with some nervousness, glanced at the middle-aged woman who was glaring at the place not far away. Asked.

"Alas, it is trouble to have more poor relatives. Brother Pan, you go to the backyard to get a bundle of grain for your brother, let him take it back, and the province is saying everywhere that we are not kind to our in-laws. The young man's voice was not loud, but the middle-aged woman heard it. She sighed and replied.

"Thank you, mother-in-law, no need. When Ergou heard this, his face changed instantly. He proudly refused.
