The branches had already been cut into sections, so Zheng decided that she and Zhang would carry them back first, and they could carry them one more time in a while, and they could come up again in the future.

Ding Dashan saw that there was nothing else to do, so he agreed.

Zheng asked Youcheng if he wanted to go back with them, but Youcheng didn't want to, he wanted to see more on the mountain.

Zheng didn't force it, but Zhang spoke.

"It's okay if you don't go back, but you have to promise your mother not to run around, listen to your father, or you should be careful of your skin."

Youcheng was not very happy to hear it, but he also agreed, and his mother was not merciless when she beat him.

When the Zheng family came back with firewood, the Wang family was still peeling corn.

"Mother, you're back."

The Wang family saw that the Zheng family and the others came back with firewood on their backs, so they hurriedly stepped forward to help them put the back basket on their backs.

"Well, I'll carry it on my back for a while."

After putting down the basket, Zheng replied.

"Why don't I go for a while, you look at your heart at home."

"Forget it, the doctor said that you can't do heavy work, besides, what if Xin'er is hungry for a while, you still watch Xin'er at home."

Zheng refused without thinking about it, and she still thought in her heart that she would give her a grandson when Wang's body was well.

"That's it, brother and sister, you are at home, and I'll just go with my mother."

Zhang also persuaded on the side.

Zheng was very satisfied with Zhang's words, and to be honest, she was also afraid that her eldest daughter-in-law would feel unfair and had an opinion in her heart.

"Then mother, you can sit down for a while and go again, and take a rest."

"yes, okay."

Wang hurriedly brought a stool out for them to sit on, and went to bring two bowls of water and handed them to them.

Did she boil the water in the morning, or did it be lukewarm?

Zheng Shi nodded secretly in his heart when he saw the half-basket of bud rice peeled out of the house.

"Okay, don't be busy, rest for a while, these buds are not in a hurry to peel."

"I know mother, I'm also idle and have nothing to peel."

This time, Zhang didn't speak, and Wang said on the side.

Zheng didn't say anything else after hearing this.

"Youyi, they're going out again?"

"Well, they can't stay at home."

"Don't hold them back, kid."

Suddenly, Zheng thought of something, and hurriedly got up and walked to the back basket full of firewood.

"By the way, this is the firewood worm that Youcheng is looking for, fry them for a few children when you cook at night."

"That's a lot! It's quite big. Wang took the leaves in Zheng's hand and looked at them and said.

"It's a lot."

……

After sitting for a while, the Zheng family poured out the firewood in the basket and went up the mountain again.

After the Zheng family left, the Wang family sorted out the firewood they carried back and put it neatly in the firewood room.

After tidying up, she went to peel the buds for a while, and when she saw that the time was almost up, she was ready to go to the vegetable field to pick some vegetables and come back to eat them in the evening.

Now there are no vegetables in the cold weather, that is, some radishes, cabbage, greens, lettuce or something, and there are not many types that are common.

She is going to pull some cabbage leaves and come back to fry, and there is still an old pumpkin she harvested before at home, just cut it in half and cook it.

It's good for the poor to eat like this.

Thinking so, she took the basin and went to pick vegetables.

The vegetable field is not far away, there is it at the door, she chose a few large cabbages and picked up some leaves, she hurried back, and her heart has been asleep for a while, and it is almost time to wake up.

Sure enough, as soon as she got home, she heard the cry of the child in the house.

Hearing the cry, Wang put down the pot with vegetables and went in, afraid that the child would pee his pants again.

Fortunately, she arrived in time and didn't pee her pants.

Xin'er didn't want to sleep when she woke up, she wanted her mother to play with her, Wang was going to put her down to wash the vegetables, but as soon as she put her down, she hummed, and she had no choice but to carry her around.

She still put the vegetable pot in the yard, so she came out of the room with her heart and put the pot in the stove room.

She picked some old cabbage leaves, which she had planned to chop up and feed to the chickens, but now it seems that she will not be able to do so.

Our Xin'er girl is still very sensible, and she can let go of Wang after sticking to her body for a while, so Wang put her in the basket to chop vegetable leaves.

She didn't pick many old leaves, and she only picked a handful, enough for the chickens to eat, and soon chopped them up and poured them into the chicken pen to feed the chickens.

Ding's family didn't have a chicken coop, so they circled a place with bamboo in a corner of the courtyard dam to put the chickens inside, and rushed to the pigsty at night.

The Ding family's pigsty looks not big or small, and there are two pig pens in it, which is more than enough to raise two pigs.

The bottom of the pigsty is also paved with stone slabs, which are separated by heavy wooden planks, so that the pigsty is divided into two.

In front of the pigsty, there was an open space more than a foot wide, and two pits as wide as the palms of adults were dug in the open space, where the family used to go to the toilet.

The bottom of the pit is sloping, and there is a pit at the bottom of the slope that extends to the outside of the house, which is the dung pit of the Ding family.

Both barns have two ditches in front of the pit where they are connected, and when the pigsty is flushed, the water flows from the pigsty through the pit to the manure pit.

The bottom of the pit is also paved with stone strips, so that it is easy to wash.

The Ding family only has two pigs now, so they only use one pig barn, but it should not be long before another pig house will be used.

After chopping the vegetable leaves, Wang was going to find pig food, so he pulled those old vegetable leaves in the vegetable field at home, and fed them with the sweet potato vines that had been dried before.

Wang thought about it and still didn't want to bring his heart to the vegetable field, so he stood at the door and shouted that they would come back.

"There is righteousness~~There is a letter~~, there is a letter~~, go home~~"

"There is faith and righteousness to go home~~"

Wang's voice was quite loud, and it didn't take long for Youxin Youyi to run all the way back, and the clothes of both of them were quite dirty and stained with a lot of mud.

"Mother, what are you telling us to do, are you going to eat?"

"Eat, eat, eat, know how to eat in a day."

Wang rolled his eyes at his son speechlessly.

"It's not early, my mother is going to the field to tear off the pig food, but my heart is awake, I'm afraid that I'll take her out and get sick, let you come back and help me watch it, don't think about eating all day long, didn't I eat an egg today."

"Hehe, I know my mother, then you can go, my sister will be watched by me and my second brother, you can rest assured."

"You, I'm not at ease, you have a letter, you and Youyi look at your sister together, I'll be back in a while, if my sister cries, you can call me, you know?"

Wang was still not very relieved about Youyi, and told Youxin again.

"Knowing the second aunt, don't worry, I will be optimistic about my sister."

"Well, then I'll go."

Wang thought that he had to get the pig food back quickly, and his steps quickened.

As soon as the Wang family went out, there was faith and righteousness, and they immediately went up to the basket where Xin'er was.

Xin'er blinked her eyes wide when she looked at them, and stretched out her hand to them from time to time.

Youyi saw that it was interesting, so he reached out to tease her, and his heart lived up to his expectations, and he reached out and grabbed his hand and wanted to put it in his mouth.

Youxin watched from the side and asked Youyi to take his hand back, Youyi was a little unhappy, he liked to play with his sister like this.

"You see your hands are so dirty, if the second aunt comes back and sees you in a while, you will definitely be looking for a fight again."

Youyi looked down at his hands, and they were really dirty.

"I'll go wash my hands, second brother, you take a look first."

"Alas......"

Youxin wanted to stop him, but Youyi had already run out, so he didn't say anything.

Youxin also wanted to wash his hands, but he also wanted to play with his sister like that, and when he saw this, he could only wait for Youyi to come back.
