The beautiful name says: study hard, you have to make up for it.

How else to say: people are more popular than dead people!

After Xu Miao wiped the kitchen clean, she sighed softly, and listened to the sound in the yard vigilantly, and each room had already returned to the house.

It was all dark outside, and the winter was short, and when the uncle Xu Zhengjiang locked the door, Xu Miao grinned.

Hey, good chance!

After Xu Zhengjiang returned to the west wing, Xiao Nizi stuffed the sweet potatoes she had taken out in advance into her cuffs and trouser legs, and after making sure that there was no problem, she straightened her waist, walked out of the kitchen, closed the door, and ran back to the house quickly.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw San Lang sitting in front of the stove with his younger brother and sister, and the pot was still steaming, Xu Miao frowned in wonder and asked:

"Where's the boiling water?"

This dynasty did not have a thermos, so if you want to drink hot water, you will drink it and burn it now, and in their four rooms, the kettle for boiling water is a luxury, plus there is no fire at home at all, so when you use a cauldron, you are basically boiling hot water.

When San Lang saw that the eldest sister was back, he stood up with a smile, opened the lid of the pot, and there were five cute nest heads lying on the grate, Xu Miao looked at this thing, and instantly understood why when he finished eating, Ya'er and Xiao Wu would eat so desperately.

He shook his head with a pleased smile, stretched out his hand to hold the three children in his arms, and said with emotion:

"You're so good! It's good to eat by yourself, the eldest sister is cooking in the kitchen, and she can't be hungry for herself. ”

"No, my brother said, if there is food, we should eat it together as a family, so it will be very fragrant." Xiao Wu raised his head seriously and said matter-of-factly.

Xu Miao looked at her sensible brother and sister, her nose was slightly sour, and her tears almost didn't come out. Although they have only been together for an afternoon, these children are really real to her.

Xu Miao raised the corners of her mouth with satisfaction, sniffed, put the sweet potatoes she got back from the kitchen in the basket, then looked at the three children, and said with a smile:

"Okay, eat together, eat together, ah!"

After speaking, sitting on the small bench, holding Xiao Wu in his arms, the four sisters and brothers ate the hot wowotou together, and after Xiao Wu solved the wotou in his hand, he burped with satisfaction and touched his little belly.

Although he didn't say anything, Xu Miao knew in his heart that this might be the only time in recent years that this child had eaten enough, sighed lightly, and said slowly:

"Don't worry, from now on, the eldest sister will never let you go hungry again, never?!"

With firm eyes and a serious tone, the three little guys were stunned, and then nodded heavily, San Lang was very sensible, held Xu Miao's slightly rough hand and said:

"Eldest sister, don't worry, when I reach the age in two years, I will go to work in the coal yard and earn a lot of silver, and then I will give you a dowry, so that He Erzhu and his family will die of greed."

In Saburo's consciousness, as long as the woman's dowry is more, there will be a good menzi (menzi, the meaning of marriage), and the reason why his eldest sister was divorced was because the old mansion did not give her escort, so she almost lost her life.

Xu Miao looked at San Lang's appearance, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, this younger brother's temper and temperament, she had almost touched it:

Emotional, moral, and bloody men!

Coming to such a strange environment, although there are some relatives who annoy her, these younger brothers and sisters make her very happy. Sensible, well-behaved, obedient, as for herself...... Hehe!

Gently touching San Lang's head, Xu Miao shook his head with a smile and said:

"San Lang, Xiao Wu, Ya'er, listen well, the eldest sister doesn't need you to take risks, as long as you grow up peacefully and happily, you are better than anything else. As for the eldest sister's marriage...... The eldest sister doesn't think about it for the time being, when you will be successful, and when the eldest sister will remarry. ”

"That's not good, the eldest sister will be an old girl by then." Saburo retorted, and the other two children nodded in agreement.

Xu Miao looked at their sensible appearance, reached out and took the other two in his arms, kissed each child, and then said:

"The old girl is the old girl, no one wants the eldest sister, you three raise the eldest sister, okay?"

"Good!" The three children said in unison.

Although the north wind was blowing very loudly outside, there was a warmth in the house, and this warmth directly warmed people's hearts......

For seven days, Xu Miao gradually figured out everything about the old Xu family, eating breakfast every quarter of an hour after dawn, and then what Xu Miao needed to do was to feed the chickens, boil pig food, and sew up the worn-out clothes in each room.

Because it is a cold winter, there is basically no work in this countryside, and she is relatively easy, but this needlework is quite a headache for Xu Miao.

At first, it was not at all, but fortunately, my sister Xu Ya was a clever and sensible person, and she was afraid that her sister would be tired, so she took the initiative to ask for sewing clothes, which was also a great help to Xu Miao.

As for the three daughters-in-law in the old house, the old family taught their daughters in their own rooms, after all, Xu Ying was about to go out in the spring.

The second family still visits the door every day, because the rural winter is short, basically every family has two meals, so the second family can hardly see people during the day, and can only be seen when it is time to eat.

As for the third family, they are in the upper room every day to talk to the old lady and sister-in-law. To say that among the three daughters-in-law, the most caring is the woman of the third family.

After all, from the time she entered the door to the present, she did not give birth to a grandson to the old Xu family, but only gave birth to two granddaughters in a row, and the second granddaughter died as soon as she landed.

In this era, if a woman does not give birth to a son, it is in danger in her in-law's family, because the man's family can use this excuse to abandon people home anytime and anywhere.

But the woman in the third room, not only was she not divorced, but she was able to mix so well in the old house, and her status was on par with the daughter-in-law of the second room, and she was also a scheming woman.

When I used to watch TV, I said that rural people are real and simple, but when she met Xu Miao, it wasn't like that, although she was busy every day and didn't speak, it didn't mean that she was a fool.

After a few days of observation, it can be seen that the three daughters-in-law of the Xu family are not fuel-efficient lamps, although they look at each other unpleasantly, they will still chat warmly, without any rhythm to tear up, which may be mainly due to Xu Zhengjiang's title of showman.

It is estimated that these two and third rooms have an abacus in their hearts, planning to get ahead in Xu Zhengjiang in the future, so they can go and get a piece of the pie, but wait for the old Xu family to get ahead?

Hmph, it's hard!

"Eldest sister, I'll help you add chaff." Seven-year-old Xu Ya walked over and obediently scooped the chaff and put it in the pig food bowl.

Xu Miao looked at the skinny little sister, rubbed her little face affectionately with her forehead, and said with relief:

"Ya'er is so sensible!"

The child is very simple, if you praise her like this, it will make her very happy, Xu Miao asked while eating with the pig: "What about San Lang and Xiao Wu?" ”
