Liu said embarrassedly: "Xiaohan, there is not much work here, with the help of your Zhou family's aunt, I won't trouble you......"

"Auntie, if you say this, you're going to be out of the way. I treat grass and stones like brothers and sisters, brothers. We don't talk about our family, if there is anything in the future, you can just open your mouth! ”

Xiao Shi was very happy, with a big smile on his face: "Brother Han, in the future, our two families will live closer, and it will be much more convenient to come and go!" I used to eat your family's food, and in the future, you will also come to taste my second sister's craftsmanship! My second sister's cooking is delicious, and the bean noodles are more fragrant than the white noodles! ”

"Good! I'm going to have a good time after that! Zhao Han glanced up at Xiaocao's back, and then lowered his head to cut the weeds.

Perhaps because of the separation, Xiao Shi finally revealed his lively side as a child, chattering non-stop, but it did not delay his work, and the small sickle in his hand kept waving.

The little roe deer beside him seemed to be infected with his excitement, jumping up and down in the grass, and from time to time bowing his head to nibble off a weed, and latching on to the grass as if offering treasures, begging for caresses and rewards.

Over there, the Liu family and the Fang family were naturally not idle, chatting about something while working.

Looking at the dilapidated house, the Fang family couldn't help but say, "The aunt of the Yu family is also true, the big sea brothers have earned so much silver for the family, so they gave you two taels." What can you do with two taels of silver, it's not enough to repair a house! Sister Muyun, if you don't have enough money, even if you open your mouth, if there is no more, my family can still take out three or five taels. It's still cold, so I have to repair the house first. ”

Liu Muyun wet her eyes with emotion, and used pulling weeds to hide her emotions, and said in a low voice: "Thank you sister-in-law first......"

"Thank you, thank you, we will be neighbors in the future, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, if there is anything you need to help, just ask!" Fang Shi quickly used a sickle to cut the grass against the ground, and at first glance he was capable.

The family in the west opened the backyard and hurried a flock of ducks into the pond behind the house, saw the movement here, leaned over to take a look, and said, "Yo! Daughter-in-law of the sea! Are you really moving in? Oh, Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu are really ruthless, how can this broken house live in people......"

Yu Xiaocao glanced up at this woman with high cheekbones and thin lips, how could she feel a little gloating the more she listened to it?

"Ignore her! Mao's mouth, if you really care about her, you can be angry to death. Just think of it as a sparrow! "Within a radius of two miles around here, there are two households, the Zhou family and the Qian family. The Zhou family raised chickens, the Qian family raised ducks, and the sales of eggs and live chickens were obviously better than those of the Qian family's ducks. The daughter-in-law of the Qian family, Mao, has a mouthless mouth, and she always talks a lot of sour words when she sees Fang.

At the beginning, Fang Shi replied a few words. Later, after the two families got to know each other, they knew that there was nothing wrong with the Mao family, so they didn't open their mouths to offend people. The girls and daughters-in-law in the village were almost all offended by her, so the Fang family didn't care about it for the sake of the neighbors.

The Mao family also seemed to realize that he was not speaking well, and hurriedly added: "If you need manpower to repair the house, come to my house and say it, my family has no other money, but I have a lot of strength." In the future, we will all be neighbors, and we should help each other. You're busy, I have to go to the dock to see if there is any fish for sale, buy one and come back to my family Wen'er to make up for it......"

Fang Shi whispered: "Mao's eldest son, he is studying in the town, and it is said that he reads well. She seized the opportunity to take it out and show it off, no, Qian Wen came back from Xiu Mu today, and she also had to take it out and talk about it. ”

"I know, I know! Brother Qian Wen is amazing, he was the first in the exam last time! Xiaoshi interjected, returned to Zhao Han's side, and spun around behind him like a fart.

Liu looked at his son, who was obviously much more lively, smiled gently, and said: "Children are treasures in the hearts of parents, and in the eyes of mothers, their children are the best. ”

Fang Shi thought about it for a while, and also smiled: "Yes, yes!" Although my Hua'er is not a reading material, he helped his father walk the streets and alleys at a young age, and he did not feel bitter but enjoyed it. There are more than 100 chickens in the house, and there are two girls, so I hardly need to ask......"

Liu glanced at the two daughters who were buried in cleaning up the weeds, and a faint smile appeared in their eyes, and said, "Our children are sensible......"

Yu Xiaocao turned around and said with a smile: "Mother, Aunt Zhou, you should be quiet, be careful to let people hear, say that you are selling melons in Lao Wang!" ”

Both the Liu family and the Fang family looked at her with a smile, and the Fang family said: "This family is good, Xiaocao's temperament is also lively, and he still jokes about us." ”

Liu Shi nodded and said, "Cao'er's body is also better, and the person is also a lot more cheerful." I'm a mother, so I'm relieved. If only her father's leg could be good......"

"Yes, yes! Good people have good rewards, and the legs of the sea brothers will definitely be cured! Yu Hai's leg injury, Fang had also heard of it, and he hurriedly comforted him.

"Second sister, second sister! Look, there are three wild eggs that Brother Wu and I found in the bushes! Let the eldest sister cook it next morning, one for the father, one for the mother and the second sister! ”

When everyone was about to clean up the weeds in the front yard and backyard, the small stone that was called out by Qian Wu next door came out of nowhere, with blades of grass on his head, holding the wild egg in his hand, and his face smiled.

The second girl of the Zhou family, Coral, deliberately teased him: "Let your eldest sister help cook it, but she doesn't have her share." Xiaoshi, aren't you afraid that Xiaolian will say that you are eccentric? ”

Xiao Shi glanced at Xiao Lian and said with a smile: "Eldest sister won't!" Dad is injured, my mother and second sister are not in good health, and if the eldest sister has something good, she will eat them first. ”

Fang touched the little guy's head and said with a smile: "Sister Muyun, your son is really sensible. Let's not envy others, it's only right to live our own lives. ”

No one wanted to have these three wild eggs alone, so at Xiaocao's suggestion, they made egg drop soup, and a family of five drank a bowl of it beautifully.

At noon, Xiaocao's grandmother took her three uncles and aunts to drive the borrowed ox cart and brought them a cart full of daily necessities. From tables, chairs, and stools, to pots and pans, some are new, and some are being used at home.

When Yu Haigang was injured, the grandmother of the Liu family came to visit, and left two taels of silver for her daughter to buy some food for her granddaughter. As soon as the Liu family left, the two taels of silver were turned over by the Zhang family, saying that they were going to take them to Yu Hai for treatment.

Xiaocao's grandmother, Yao, saw that her daughter and granddaughter and grandson looked much better, and most of the stones in her heart were put down. She held the stone in her arms, choked up slightly and said to Liu: "It's okay to divide it, it's okay to divide it!" At least you won't have to be angry with your mother-in-law in the future. ”

Liu wiped the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, the future may be a little bitter, but you can be the master of your own house, you don't have to look at other people's faces, and you don't have to worry about the child being beaten and scolded, no matter how bitter it is, it is sweet." ”

Liu's maiden family is on the other side of the mountain, and the family only has four acres of dry land, and life is not very rich. Liu has two older brothers and a younger brother, and the eldest uncle Liu Pei is strong and strong, and often goes out to do odd jobs in his spare time. The eldest aunt, Han, started a small business on the dock and earned money from the dock workers to support the family.

The eldest uncle's family has only two daughters, the eldest daughter Liu Feiying is fourteen years old, and she has already been married, and she will marry after waiting for Jilu. The second daughter Liu Feiyan is as big as Xiaocao's eldest brother, and the two families are jokingly talking about kissing each other.

The second uncle Liu Han is honest and capable, he is a good hand in the field, and under the cleaning of a few acres of land by him and his grandfather, the yield is a few points better than that of other families. Although the second aunt Hu is a little selfish, there is nothing wrong with it. Because she gave birth to two sons and a daughter, she consciously became a head taller than her childless sister-in-law.

The third uncle Liu Hao is the youngest in the family, and it can be said that he was brought up by the Liu family, and he has a deep relationship with this sister. He had just married his wife Bian the year before and gave birth to a son who was less than a year old. Liu Hao learned carpentry from the carpenter in the village, and often went out to find carpentry work to earn some money. The third aunt Bian is good at embroidery, and she can also sell some embroidery every month.

The Liu family was not separated, the three sons were all filial, and the money earned was handed over to their mother Yao. Yao's is not like Zhang's, he is reluctant to spend the money, in addition to the family's food and clothing, he also gives his daughter-in-law some silver money from time to time. Liujiadi has a small population and no big income, and he can't save a few dollars every year.

Last night, I heard that my daughter and son-in-law had split up, my daughter's family had many children, they were all young, and my son-in-law injured his leg again, and the family was only divided into three acres of sandy land and three broken houses. Yao's mother, couldn't sit still, so she packed up some bedding and basins for daily use early in the morning, borrowed an ox cart and rushed over.

Although Xishan Village, where the Liu family is located, is only separated from Dongshan Village by a Xishan Mountain, and it only takes an hour and a half to hike through the mountains and forests, if you drive an ox cart over, you need to go around a long distance, and it takes twice as long.

Yao took his son and daughter-in-law, rushed to his daughter's house before dawn, and arrived at noon, and even ate breakfast on the road with dry food.

Seeing that the old mansion was so broken that the roof was almost gone, Yao was distressed and angry. The in-laws did too much, so they almost let their daughter and son-in-law go out of the house. It's true that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather! She knows very well Zhang's pungent and tricky temperament, and it is in vain to find the door.

She took out a bulging purse from her arms, stuffed it into Liu's hand, and said in a choked voice: "Yunzi, my mother has ten taels of silver here, you take it and repair the house first." It's best to move out early so you don't get angry. Don't worry about the three acres of land, raise more sweet potato seedlings at home this year, and let your brother come over in the spring to plant ......"
