The sky cleared, and the people in the village got out of their homes and got busy. Lan Yi greeted the acquaintances and went to the pond under the peony garden to feed the ducks.

When he got to the edge of the duck pen, he found that the duck had been fed, thinking that it was Zhao Shangjing's wife Qi who helped feed it, so he walked up the stone steps of the hillside, wanting to go to Zhao Shangjing's side to have a look.

Now that the peonies on the hillside have been cleaned up, if there is nothing to do in a few days, it is time for their family to settle this month's salary and let them go home for the New Year. In this way, in fact, Zhao Shangjing's world of working on the hillside is not very long, every year when the earth thaws in spring, they come to pack up their things and return home in late September, and the family spends the whole winter at home in a hot state. It is much longer than when taking care of all kinds of flowers and plants throughout the year in the Xia family.

And with the expansion of the peony garden, Lan Yi's salary for him has also increased, and the people in the village who grow peonies will also ask Zhao Shangjing to come over for some guidance, or invite him to eat at home, or send something to express his gratitude. It is said that Zhao Shangjing's family was not bullied because of outsiders here, but was respected by most of the villagers, which made them satisfied and grateful, and they were naturally diligent in their work.

"Second sister-in-law." Before he arrived at Zhao Shangjing's house, he ran into Dao Wufeng and didn't know where to come out.

Lan Yi looked left and right a little strangely, "Wufeng, where are you from?" ”

Dao Wufeng smiled, "It's boring at home, look around." ”

Lan Yi didn't believe his words, this person couldn't wait to stay at home every day and not go out, but he couldn't stop it in such a rainy weather?

"Look, I'll go first."

Dao Wufeng nodded. As if unintentionally, he asked, "The second sister-in-law is going to the inn?" ”

Lan Yi shook her head, "No." Go to Uncle Zhao and thank you Aunt Zhao for helping me feed the ducks. ”

Hearing this, Dao Wufeng smiled, "Second sister-in-law doesn't have to go, I fed the ducks." Aunt Jia is not at home, and it is really inconvenient for the second sister-in-law to run at both ends, before she comes back. I'll feed the ducks on the hillside. ”

Lan Yi's heart moved, nodded with a smile and thanked him, and turned to go home. In fact, Zhao Shangjing was there. In addition to looking for the Qi family, he also planned to ask Zhao Shangjing about the Xia family, especially the third room of the Xia family.

But for now, in order to give him peace of mind, let's go home. Ask about the Xia family. It is better to ask Zhao Shangjing than to ask Liuzi after two days of discussion, he is much more familiar with the situation of the Xia family than Zhao Shangjing.

Lan Yi went to the Yang family to pick up Wen Xuan, and Wen Xuan was digging a mud hole with tree branches in the yard with Fei Yu and Fei Nan, and had a lot of fun.

When Wen Xuan saw his mother coming, he shook the little branch and shouted, "Mother, you can see Xuan'er dig it, but it's deep." ”

"yes." Lan Yi walked over and looked at the small pit. Then he looked at the mud on the hands and feet of the three little ones, "Don't dig it and fall into it yourself." ”

Feiyu, who was already five years old, said to Lan Yi in a big way, "Second uncle, don't worry, with me watching, the two of them can't fall!" ”

Lan Yi smiled and encouraged, "Well, Flying Rain is awesome, not only is the hole dug deepest, but it can also take care of the two younger brothers." ”

Children like to be recognized the most, Zhou Feiyu smiled into squints, and then worked hard to dig a hole.

Zhao came out to dry with the futon, and smiled shyly when he saw Lan Yi coming in, "Second sister-in-law, come and pick up Xuan'er." ”

Lan Yi nodded, "Grandpa and Second Uncle are not at home?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao replied in a low voice, and began to dry the bedding in his arms.

Because it was something used on the kang, Lan Yi couldn't reach out to help, and looked at the two small mattresses hanging on the shelf that were urinated out of the circle of maps, and asked with a smile, "Feinan urinated on the kang again at night?" ”

"Well, it has rained a lot in the past two days, and he also joined in the fun, and urinated two mattresses at night." Zhao said as he slowly and seriously fiddled with the two small mattresses with his hands, fiddling with them four or five times before aligning the two small mattresses.

Lan Yi took a deep breath, she didn't think she was in a hurry, but she was also a little uncomfortable watching Zhao's slow movements. She turned her head to look at Fei Nan, who was still wearing open crotch pants next to her, thinking that he was about to be three years old, it was said that he should wear crotch pants, otherwise it was easy to get cold in winter, Wen Xuan was as old as him, he had already put on crotch pants, this child has been sensible since he was a child, Lan Yi didn't worry much about his urine.

Yang came out of the wing room with a large wooden basin of dirty clothes, and said with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, you have something to do, go busy, let Xuan'er play here." ”

"It's fine."

Lan Yi just wanted to ask Wen Xuan to go home together, but saw Yang put down the wooden basin and gave her a look, "Second sister-in-law, I have a piece of material in the house, you can help me see what is appropriate." ”

Lan Yi followed Yang into the wing room, a clay kang occupies half of the side, the other half is placed two high cabinets and a lying cabinet, in the middle of the room is a small square table and a few stools, and there is also a kang table on the kang, these things will be full of the not spacious wing room, fortunately, the Yang family is neatly packed and does not look messy.

"Fourth brother and sister, where's the flower branch?" Seeing that there was no Yang family's three-year-old daughter in the house, Lan Yi asked.

"Follow her grandmother to the door, and the second sister-in-law will sit down."

Several male and female babies of the Zhou family's generation are also ranked according to their age. The eldest sister and the second sister are the eldest Zhou Weiwen's flowers and buds, Zhao's daughter Hua Xue is the third sister, and the tidbits are the fourth sister. The eldest of the male baby is Feiyun of Zhou Weiwen's family, the second is his younger brother Feixiao, the third is Feiyu, the son of Yang, and the fourth is Feinan, the son of Zhao. Lan Yi remarried with two children, and the children brought by the remarried woman could not be included in the husband's family tree even if they changed their surnames, so Yu'er and Wenxuan were not added to the ranking.

Yang rubbed it embarrassedly and said, "Second sister-in-law, there is no hot water in the house, so I won't pour it for you." ”

Lan Yi smiled and sat at the table, "The fourth brother and sister are not outsiders, so they don't pay attention to these vain. ”

Closing the door, Yang sat opposite Lan Yi and asked in a low voice, "Second sister-in-law, I've been busy these days, and there is something I've been trying to remind you of, and I haven't taken the time to do it." On the day of Widow Zheng's incident, you took your children to watch the excitement? ”

Lan Yi shook her head slightly, "It's not to see the excitement, it's to pick fungus mushrooms in the forest in the south, just in time, fourth brother and sister, who said something?" ”

Yang's gaze pressed down, and he sneered, "The fourth aunt came to give winter clothes to her grandfather during the Double Ninth Festival, and said in the yard, and said in a vivid voice that Widow Zheng wanted you to testify against her, for which you and Widow Zheng quarreled a few words, and the fourth aunt was there to help you round the field, and you still didn't appreciate it." After that, they said that you were just young and ignorant or something. She also raised her voice, making it clear that she was speaking to her grandfather in the house. ”

Lan Yi remembered Old Man Zhou's attitude towards herself that day, and understood a little, "No wonder when your second brother and I came to deliver Chongyang cake, Grandpa's face was not good-looking." ”

"It's not over yet," Yang then broke the news, "Didn't the fifth brother and the fifth brother and sister come to deliver Chongyang cake after you and the second brother, seeing the crab and venison you sent over, I don't know what to tell the family when I go back, the fourth aunt came over to pick your lier again, saying that you only sent them a piece of cold cake and a small pot of wine, and also taught the seventh brother a lesson, which made the fourth uncle so angry that he didn't sleep all night." In my opinion, it's not that the fourth uncle didn't fall asleep, it's that she herself is ......" (to be continued.) )
