Yang Liulang nodded and went up a small dirt slope in front of his house. The trail behind the small dirt slope leads to the small green mountain, where the forest is dense, shading the sun, and countless wild birds and beasts, flowers and plants grow there.

It wasn't until Yang Liulang's figure disappeared into the bushes that He Mai Baba looked at it for a while before turning around and entering the courtyard.

Since she was brought back to Xiaoqing Village by Lin Changjun, she has always lived with many people. The most unfortunate thing is that there are still two companions at home, her and Qin's.

Now that he lives in the Yang family, there is no one in the family, and he is really a little lonely, He Mai slowly walked into the yard with his head down.

Although there is no one at home today, the Qin family can't go there. If you go back early on the day you return home, it means that you have been bullied at your husband's house, isn't this obviously adding to the Qin family's heart?

He Mai thought quietly, he would still rest at home for a day today, and when he returned to the door, he would have no scruples about running to the Qin family in the future.

Fortunately, the weather was sunny today, and when the breeze blew with a good smell of flowers, He Mai looked up at the elegant yard and felt a little more relaxed.

After picking up a broom and cleaning the courtyard inside and out, He Mai found some unwashed clothes, piled them in a wooden basin, and put them next to the well to wash them.

The biggest advantage of the well in the countryside is that it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the water from this well is not so harsh, and there is a warm feeling when your hands are soaked in the water.

Just as he was about to wring out the clothes out of the water, a slightly shrill voice came from outside the door.

"Yo, Hemai laundry!"

He Mai looked up and saw that it was Mrs. Dong in the village.

Mrs. Dong smiled and walked in from outside the courtyard gate, seeing that He Mai's hands were wet, she smiled and said, "It's good that there is a well in this house!" Where is it like us, the draft has to be carried to the flat pole. Hey, it's good to have a man who can work at home! ”

Mrs. Dong's man broke his hand when he was working in the town two years ago, and he has been recuperating at home for the past two years, and he is also getting older, so he can't do any work.

And Mrs. Dong's two sons married daughters-in-law, and the work in the field was that the eldest pointed at the second child, and the second child pointed at the eldest child, and the annual harvest of a few acres of land was just enough for the family to eat half full. The housework in Su Rili is more dependent on the old lady, and Mrs. Dong is counting on her daughter-in-law.

Yes, this family is lazier than the other, one is more searching, and Mrs. Dong would rather wander around the village than go home to see a group of lazy people.

"Aunt Dong is here, sit down," He Mai greeted softly, "I don't see you going this way on weekdays, why did you come here today?" ”

"Didn't I want to come and see you," Mrs. Dong smiled faintly, and asked in a low voice: "There are not many people close to you like this girl, and I am afraid that there is no one to inquire when something happens." I wanted to ask you yesterday, how did Rokuro treat you? Is he alright? ”

He Mai slowly put his clothes on the pole, "It's good." ”

Mrs. Dong glanced at the house, and suddenly said sharply: "Yo, Liulang is not at home today?" ”

"Why isn't he at home!? I'm not at home with my new daughter-in-law, what are you doing!? ”

He Mai glanced at Mrs. Dong, who had an exaggerated reaction, in confusion, "Go up the mountain to hunt some game." ”

"Yo, this stinky boy, I don't know how to run to the mountains with my daughter-in-law at home?" Mrs. Dong waved her claws indignantly, "When will he come back?" When he comes back, I'll have to talk about him! ”

He Mai didn't squeak - too lazy to pay attention to this person, even if she wanted to be nosy, at least she had to ask herself if she agreed!

Seeing that He Mai ignored her, Mrs. Dong wandered around for a while, turned to the back room, looked at the door for a while, and saw that He Mai didn't let her enter the house to sit, so she secretly glanced at it several times.

He Mai didn't care, turned around to dry his clothes, this kung fu, Dong Pozi's dripping eyes swept around the room, the corners of her mouth twitched, and her eyes stared at the haystack on the edge of the wall.

"Oh, Hemai, can you use all this firewood! It's going to rain lately, so it's better to put this firewood in the firewood room. ”

He Mai glanced at Mrs. Dong and said gently: "There are many places to burn the fire in my house, and I use it quickly!" ”

"Isn't it just boiling water to cook rice, is it possible to wash your face and wash your hands with hot water!? You're delicate! Mrs. Dong said with a distressed face.

He Mai smiled, "My Liulang people are diligent and strong, and the firewood is always exhausted." It's you, auntie, although the weather is warm now, no matter how biting the spring breeze is, you can't stand the cold, isn't it that the uncle won't let you boil hot water? I don't feel sorry for you, do I? ”

Mrs. Dong laughed embarrassedly twice, choked for a while, and then held back a sentence: "Since you have so much firewood, why don't you give me two loads of firewood?" Anyway, your family Rokuro is also very diligent. ”

He Mai's eyes widened and he looked at her in surprise, "Auntie, your family has such a large population, isn't there a person who carries water and firewood?" ”

Mrs. Dong sighed twice, "The two unsuccessful ones in my family are now studying in the house all day long, where are they willing to carry water and firewood?" Hey, these two children are not born to work, read, read, let them read a name, and if they pass the exam, our Xiaoqing Village will follow, right? ”

He Mai burst out laughing, and quickly coughed twice to hide his laughter. It's not that she looks down on the two sons of Mrs. Dong's family, but ...... Two people who are lazy to even work in the fields all day long, are they willing to work diligently in reading and literacy?

Before he figured out the matter of his housework, he let his family go hungry and poor in the name of studying, and he was afraid that he would not be able to weigh it clearly.

He Mai smiled and said to Mrs. Dong: "What the eldest mother said is also right, the two elder brothers will be in high school in the future, how can they do these rough jobs now?" You can take as much firewood as you want, and you can put it away. ”

"Great!" Mrs. Dong was overjoyed, hurriedly left the wheat alone, and reached out to get the firewood.

This Mrs. Dong is thin, but she didn't expect to have two strengths, a load of firewood on her back, and the energy to turn around and say goodbye to Hemai: "Girl, I'll come to see you in a few days!" ”

Look at you, I'm afraid I'm looking for cheap firewood!

He Mai pouted and continued to dry his clothes.

A bundle of firewood doesn't cost much silver, and besides, they live at the foot of the mountain, so it is very convenient to collect firewood.

It is not a loss to be able to send away a noisy duck with a bundle of firewood!

He Mai washed a basin of clothes, and fetched water to wash another basin of clothes, these clothes were just turned out from the bottom of the box, and they should be worn after a few days of warming, and the clothes were washed and dried in advance, and there were no wrinkles, and they were decent to wear out.

When He Mai was washing clothes, he caught a glimpse of another figure outside the courtyard.

Why are there so many people coming to visit the front of the door today?

He Mai didn't look up, and continued to wash his clothes slowly, but he didn't want the figure to stop straight outside the courtyard gate.

After a while, He Mai looked up and saw that Rao was prepared in his heart, but he was still startled.

Outside the door stood a man in his forties, with a sharp-beaked monkey's cheeky face as sloppy as a rag, grinning at He Mai Zheng!
