There is no need to stuff firewood under the stove anymore, the remaining firewood will slowly burn out under the stove, and Qiao Ruyi doesn't have to care about it, so he fetches water and washes his face.

Qiao Ruxin took a small bowl, grabbed a handful of rice grains and put them in, came to the yard, and cooed in her mouth, while scattering the millet grains on the ground, and the three chickens ran over and pecked on the ground.

After feeding the chickens, Qiao Ruxin returned to the kitchen and said to Qiao Ruyi:

Sister, when are we going to eat?

EAT NOW-

Qiao Ruyi said, then came to call Qiao Laixing again, and said:

Come on, come here, let's eat.

Hey, got it.

Qiao Laixing heard Qiao Ruyi calling himself in the firewood room, so he turned around and came to the kitchen.

Qiao Ruyi served the polenta from the pot, and Qiao Ruxin put the eggs and cabbage and pork stewed vermicelli that Qiao Ruyi had just made on the dining table, and then served the corn porridge. Qiao Laixing saw it, and also brought a bowl back to the table and sat down.

Qiao Ruyi said with a smile:

Alright, let's eat. On this cold day, eat more, and your stomach will be warm.

Well, got it, sister.

Qiao Nina replied, first drank a large mouthful of polenta, and said:

Sister, this polenta is thick and fragrant.

Well, Qiao Ruyi nodded in response, drink more.

Qiao Laixing glanced at the eggs on the dinner table, only to feel the fresh fragrance, so he stepped forward and took a chopstick to eat, then put another chopstick in his mouth, and then said to Qiao Ruyi:

Sister, I just saw that the firewood in our firewood room is still dry, and it seems that there is no snow.

Yes, the firewood room is well built, yesterday's wind and snow did not go in, and the firewood was dry.

Qiao Ruyi said as he ate the fan in his mouth.

The three of them were eating here, Qin Dalang arrived, Qiao Ruyi heard the movement, walked to the courtyard, saw that it was Qin Dalang, and hurriedly shouted:

Brother Lang, why did you come so early, come in-

Qin Dalang saw it, nodded, and followed Qiao Ruyi to the kitchen.

Qiao Ruyi brought a bench and put it in front of him, and said:

Brother Lang, sit down, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, let's eat something here.

Qin Dalang glanced at the food on the table and said:

No, no, I don't eat in the morning, I'm used to it.

Qin Dalang sat on the bench and said with excuses.

How can this work, if you don't eat in the morning, your body will be cold all day, Qiao Ruyi heard this, and couldn't help frowning, Qin Dalang has to walk the streets and alleys, this is the most physically demanding, and walking on the street outside, you can't pour a cold wind into your stomach, so it is so bad for your body, Qiao Ruyi thought of this, so she put a bowl of porridge from the pot, took two buns and stuffed them into Qin Dalang's hands, and said:

Brother Lang, don't be polite to us, we are all about the same age, and there are no rules, you can take it and eat, you can come early in the future, and we will make you one more for dinner.

Qin Dalang held a hot meal in his hand, and his heart was also hot, he had lived with his uncle and aunt since he was a child, every time he had a meal, his aunt was looking for a reason to support him out, he was always hungry and couldn't stand it, so he went to the kitchen to find some cold food to eat, that's it, he didn't dare to eat more.

When Qin Dalang thought of this, his eyes were about to cry, he hurriedly drank a large mouthful of porridge to cover it up, and then felt that this porridge was really fragrant, and then ate a mouthful of porridge and a mouthful of steamed buns.

Sister Ruyi, the stage outside is set up.

The eldest girl shouted in the courtyard, and after a while, she also walked into the kitchen, and saw that Qin Dalang was also there, obviously a little surprised, Qin Dalang saw it, and stood up busily, refused to eat the rice, and put the porridge bowl on the stove.

Qiao Ru agreed, and said with a smile:

Auntie, you're here, where is Aunt Xu?

My mother is coming, and I'll run first.

Qiao Ruyi nodded after hearing this, and said to the eldest girl:

Brother Da Lang came a little earlier than you, just in time for us to eat, I took some food for Brother Da Lang, at first Brother Da Lang refused to eat, this is not easy to eat, you come like this, he is embarrassed again.

Qiao Ruyi said this, and said to Qin Dalang with a smile:

Brother Da Lang, it's irrelevant, let's continue eating. Number Six

When Qin Dalang heard this, he nodded, picked up the rice porridge again, drank it in both sips, and then said:

Ruyi, I'll go first.

Qin Dalang said, took the burden, put the pasta in again, picked it up and walked out.

Qiao Ruyi looked at Qin Dalang like this, quite helpless, only shook his head and smiled, and then asked the eldest girl:

Where is the stage?

The big girl stood there in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qiao Ruyi glanced up at the eldest girl and asked:

Big girl, what's wrong with you?

Oh, Sister Ruyi-

The eldest girl reacted, settled down, and replied:

Sister Ruyi, what did you just say?

The eldest girl was distracted just now, and she didn't hear what Qiao Ruyi said.

I ask you, where is the stage?

It was placed on the beach on the bank of the river.

Qiao Ruyi nodded and said:

The place was spacious.

When Qiao Ruxin heard this, she was already itchy, and after eating in three bites, she put down her chopsticks and said:

Sister, let's go quickly. Gone late and there is no good place.

Well, you know, you have to build a shed after setting up a stage, and you have to put on makeup for the singers, and you have to wait for a long time?

When Qiao Ruxin heard this, she had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and said:

Don't wait, sister, let's go.

Ruxin, Xiu'er will be here in a while, you can go with Xiu'er then.

The eldest girl walked to the bench and sat down, her expression had returned to normal, and after listening to Qiao Ruxin's words, she spoke,

Why, is Xiu'er coming too?

Qiao Ruyi asked.

Yes, Aunt Xue heard that there was a big opera singer in the town, saying that she had been at home these days, and she was very bored, and she was going to come to listen to the opera today, and Xiu'er and Uncle Xue also came.

Okay, okay - what did Xiu'er come from?

Qiao Ruxin listened and became happy again.

Soon, when my mother and I went out, I saw that Uncle Xue and Aunt Xue were preparing, and Aunt Xue also knew that Sister Ruyi would go too, and she would definitely come to Sister Ruyi first, and then go.

Qiao Ru said impatiently:

Sister, I'll go outside to welcome Xiu'er.

Qiao Nina dropped such a sentence and ran out.

Qiao Ru couldn't eat anymore, so he got up and cleaned up the table.

It didn't take long for Qiao Ruxin's voice to sound from outside:

Sister, sister, Uncle Xue and Aunt Xue are here.

Qiao Ruyi listened, looked at the eldest girl and smiled, and said:

Let's go out and have a look.

Alright, let's get out.

Qiao Ruyi put down his work and came to the gate of the courtyard with the eldest girl, Qiao Ruxin ran quickly to Qiao Ruyi's side.

Xue Qingshan was pulling a flatbed truck in front, Xue's stomach was already bulging, his face was also much fatter, and he was wearing cotton clothes, like a balloon that had been blown up. Xiu'er was wearing cotton clothes and pants, with a cotton hat on her head, only one eye was outside, and a broken quilt was covering the two of them.

Uncle Xue and Aunt Xue, you are here too-
