Li Xiao quietly carried his head and followed the side of Erzhu. Erzhu said: "Your grandfather has passed you over to the big house."

Li Xiao looked up at the snow in front of him and said, "Is Dad going to give me away?"

Erzhu said: "I am a son, so naturally I can't violate your grandfather's will." I heard that you had a big quarrel with your mother, and when you go to your uncle's house in the future, you can't quarrel with the elders in the family anymore, which is unfilial. It's also your mother who has spent all her thoughts on your brother and neglected you all these years."

Li Xiao felt unspeakably uncomfortable in her heart, and ran home crying. asked her to call his father and aunt uncles and aunts, and her uncles and aunts to be her fathers and aunts. She really couldn't accept it. But when she saw the loving eyes of the eldest aunt, she looked at the third brother's excited and happy look. She accepted. Li Xiao suddenly changed from a child in the second room to a child in the big room, and Sixi and Siya couldn't accept it. Sixi cried once, and Siya also cried when she returned to Li's house. In the end, Li Xiao repeatedly assured that she would become a child of the big house, and she would still treat them as her own brother and sister. That's the end of it.

The next day for the New Year, Li Xiao gave everyone a New Year's greeting as a child of the big house. On the first day of the new year, the old man divided the family, which surprised everyone. The family's grain and the fields are all four or six cents. The big room is six, and the second room is four. The old man and his wife lived with the big house, and they were also sent to the end by the big house. Sixi moved to Sanya Siya's room. Li Xiao still lived in the original house, and the house was owned by the second room after he got married. When the old couple is gone, they can build a fence or wall in the yard to divide them into two. When the farm was busy, the two families cultivated their fields together. Later, when their children are older, they are willing to be separated. The kitchens are still together, and things are separated. After the spring ploughing, start another kitchen in the backyard. The pheasants and hares, dead and alive, were divided equally between the two families.

In addition to being satisfied with the equal division of the pheasants and hares, Sanniang directly disagreed. She thinks that the second room is at a loss, her two children are young, and the old man is helping the big house with the big house. At the beginning, the younger brother was paid by the public to marry, and there were only three wangs left in the Dafang family, and there were two daughters-in-law in their family. And she also thinks that since Li Xiao is with the big house, she shouldn't live in their two-bedroom house. Wufu is also eight years old and can live in a room by himself.

When the old man heard this, he almost flipped the table in anger. Erzhu was fast, and when he went up, he gave Sanniang a slap, and then explained to everyone that he had never thought of it that way.

Li Xiao stepped forward and said, "I'll go and pack my things now, the second aunt doesn't have to worry that I will occupy the fifth brother's house." Then Li Xiao was going to go out. Erzhu stopped him and said, "You live in that room until you get married, and your grandfather and I agree that no one is allowed to live in that room before you get married." Then he looked at Sanniang and said, "If you have any more ideas, let's separate, I don't want to make any more trouble at home."

Sanniang didn't dare to say anything. This is the end of the separation.

Li Xiao's life is very comfortable. Her mother (former aunt) and sister-in-law don't have to do anything with her. One cooks, one cleans up the house. Li Xiao is responsible for feeding the chickens and rabbits, and will come back with some wild things the next day. The big house family is prosperous, and the old man is very happy to see it. Xiulan didn't understand why Sanniang couldn't tolerate five girls, this is a cash cow, with her, the family will not be poor. Only my younger siblings are so stupid and push them out.

Seeing that Li Xiaoren has grown again, he is fatter than before. Xiulan also deliberately found a new piece of cloth and made short clothes for Li Xiao. Li Xiao's eyes turned red when she looked at her clothes, this was the second time she had worn new clothes since she was born, and the first time was the vest that Sanniang made with the wolf skin she beaten.

Speaking of the second room, Sanniang has to cook the family's meals alone, and also clean up the house, cut the grass and feed the chickens and rabbits. Without the help of the big house, she is often so busy that she doesn't even have time to rest. Sanniang thinks from time to time that it would be nice if there was no separation. At least she doesn't need to mow the grass to feed the chickens and rabbits. She also doesn't need to cook three meals a day. (In the past, the younger brother got up early to make breakfast, Xiulan made lunch, and Sanniang made dinner.) ）

Sixi took the initiative to take care of Wufu and took Wufu and Sanwang to clean the yard every day. Now there is less of Li Xiao's game, not to mention Wufu's gluttony, even she is hungry for meat. The pheasants and hares at home could not be killed, and she did not dare to make more meat once she was allocated. She can only cook meat once a month to satisfy everyone's cravings. But it's still not enough for the father and son to eat. She never felt that there was not enough meat to eat before, but now she made it and it was quickly eaten. The old lady occasionally steals some meat from the big house for Sixi and Wufu to eat (in fact, the big house gives it to the old lady to the second room) In this way, Sanniang still saw that Sixi and Wufu were gone, and she was very distressed. began to regret driving Li Xiao to the big house.

She sometimes wonders how she used to live so comfortably. It seems that since Li Xiao was four years old and knew about picking wild vegetables in the mountains, his family has never eaten less meat. I thought that Li Xiaoxiao was obedient when she was a child, and she ignored it, and she never looked for her if she didn't cry or make trouble. She didn't know how she got to be the way she is today. Now all she knows is that there are no more good days like before.

Spring busyness has started again, and the family is very tired from going to the field. The old man asked everyone to eat together as before, and then separated when they were done. Sanniang was moved, but also relieved. The three men in the second room family are all hungry enough, and the farming is so busy during this period of time that they are hungry a lot.

It didn't take long for the Zhang family to come to the news, saying that Siya was pregnant, and specially asked Zhang Cheng to come over to say something, and said that he wanted Li Xiao to live for a while. Erzhu originally disagreed, but his identity was not easy to speak. Xiulan loves Li Xiao very much, Li Xin doesn't wear women's clothes, so Xiulan changed Sanwang's clothes to Li Xiao to wear. Li Xin wanted to eat meat today, so Xiulan stewed meat for Li snacks. Li Xiao dug wild vegetables from the mountain and came back, saying that he wanted to eat wild vegetables, so he dug some, and Xiulan did it directly without saying a word.

Xiulan originally didn't want Li Xiao to go to Zhang's house. The younger brother told her that it was the fourth sister who wanted to teach the fifth sister to do needlework, so Zhang Cheng came to pick it up. As soon as Xiulan heard this, she immediately agreed. I told Dazhu in the evening, and Dazhu also thought it was better. Li Xiao was brought up by Sanya and Siya, Sanya is far away from Fucheng, and if Siya has the heart to teach Li Xiao, it is better than them.

Li Xiao lived in Zhang's house in this way. Li Xiao is now Zhang Cheng's sister-in-law, Zhang Laidi's sister-in-law, and a guest of the Zhang family. The status of the Zhang family is second only to the old lady of the Zhang family.

Li Xiao learned embroidery every afternoon, and after studying for a month, he couldn't say that he hadn't grown at all, but he could only say that he wouldn't be tied with blood all over his hands when he sewed something now. Village Chief Zhang is the head of the village, and the land is planted with the help of the clan on weekdays, so Zhang Cheng will only work in the field when he is harvesting. Usually follow Village Chief Zhang into the city to do errands.

Li Xiao saw that Zhang Cheng had a chance to enter the city, so he wanted Zhang Cheng to take some wild things into the city to sell them. Unexpectedly, this business is still going on. The first time they brought into the city, they were sold. Sold for 200 dollars. Li Xiaojian divided Zhang Cheng 100 Wen in front of Siya, and then the 100 Wen went into Siya's purse. In this way, until August, Li Xiao already had 2 big money.
