Wang Xiaoxia slept right this night, and when it was almost dawn the next day, he opened his eyes in a daze.

When I opened my eyes, I found that I was sleeping in a wooden house, which was so big that several children lived in it.

She woke up a little thirsty, and just as she was about to sit up, a large hand lifted her to the ground, and a glass of warm water was brought to her mouth.

Sun Jiuzhou was guarding outside, and when he heard the sound inside, he hurried in, and when he saw his daughter-in-law wake up, he hurriedly came over.

There was a brazier in the room, the light was dim, and Wang Xiaoxia saw his worried face. His hair was a little messy, his eyes were still a little puffy, and his sockets were bloodshot, which looked like he hadn't rested for a long time.

"I'm fine, you go and rest, you look at your eyes, if you continue like this, you will become blind." She whispered, anger in her tone that she couldn't detect.

After hearing this, Sun Jiuzhou smiled stupidly and said, "You are caring about me." ”

Ahem......

Wang Xiaoxia had just choked on a sip of water, and her face was flushed.

Sun Jiuzhou hurriedly put down his hand and patted his daughter-in-law on the back, and then gently comforted: "Don't worry, I'll go to sleep." ”

"Now go to sleep, right now, don't think your body is made of iron, if you fall, what will they do?" Wang Xiaoxia felt that Sun Jiuzhou was now the backbone of the people here, and if he fell ill, those old people would be very worried.

"Yes, yes, listen to my daughter-in-law! Go now. Sun Jiuzhou nodded again and again, and then handed the bowl to his daughter-in-law.

Wang Xiaoxia drank a few more sips, and her stomach was a little hungry, but she was in a lot of energy. She handed the bowl to Sun Jiuzhou, then got out of the quilt, snatched the bowl from his hand, and walked out of the house carefully.

Sun Jiuzhou hurriedly followed out and walked outside the house, the sky had already been tested to the white belly of the fish, and the sky was about to dawn.

When the other patrols saw Wang Xiaoxia coming out, they also came over to say hello.

Wang Xiaoxia replied to their words with a smile, and asked Sun Jiuzhou to wait, she went to the kitchen to make some food, and besides, she was hungry after sleeping for so long.

In the house, several children also woke up, and when they heard their father and mother talking, the third child covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Father and mother seem to have reconciled." ”

"Yes, as long as they are together, we won't have a stepfather and stepmother." The second child said happily.

Tutu closed his eyes, and he also heard the conversation between the two clearly, but he felt that this cheap father would have to leave sooner or later, and when the time came, it would be his mother who would carry the family alone, and his mother would be too hard. He thinks that Uncle Gesang is more reliable, at least people have money, and they don't have to worry about their mother's three meals.

The boss still has some worry on his face, this stepmother didn't find it so good before, and now everyone knows the excellence of the stepmother, and I don't know when my father's identity will be made public, I'm afraid there will be more men who want to pursue her in the future.

He secretly glanced at Tutu, and when he saw that Tutu had his eyes closed, he knew that the kid was pretending to be asleep, and he heard what Tutu said to Uncle Gesang last time. Actually, he can also understand that Tutu doesn't want his stepmother to be so tired, but they need his stepmother very much now, and he has to find a way to change this kid's mind, so that this kid can also stand by them.

Outside the house, the Wang family and several of them got up, and when they saw Jiuzhou's daughter-in-law busy there, they hurried to help.

After breakfast, it was a busy scene again, and yesterday everyone built several rooms, all for the old people and children, who had no place to live.

There is no shortage of timber in the woods, and besides, the house built yesterday has not yet had time to be tied with rattan, and there is still a lot to do today.

At noon, Old Man Li came over and told them one thing, there were several small hot springs nearby.

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard it, they didn't have a chance to wash well in the mountains recently, Sun Jiuzhou took people to find two hot springs, and made sure that there was no danger near the hot springs, and they built a row of fences on the hot springs where the women bathed, so that it was convenient for them to take a bath.

Finally took a bath, Wang Xiaoxia felt a lot more relaxed, the most important thing is that the hot spring water is still flowing, don't worry about washing the dirty place.

After soaking in the hot springs, seeing that it was getting dark, she reluctantly changed into clean clothes and left here to return to her accommodation.

Watching their house rise from the ground, in a few days, everyone will be able to live in the house, and the house built yesterday is wrapped in rattan. In order to thank Old Man Li for his kindness, Gesang took people to repair Old Man Li's house and tied the rattan.

In the evening, they lit a bonfire and invited Old Man Li over to barbecue with everyone.

Old man Li has always been a person here, it would be false to say that he is not lonely, but now that there are so many hospitable neighbors, he is in a good mood, and he also takes out the wine he brews for everyone to enjoy.

"Old Li, do you still make wine?" Zhang Dakai hadn't smelled alcohol for a long time, but after just taking a sip, he felt comfortable.

"This wine is a fruit wine made in autumn, when it comes to autumn in this mountain, there are a lot of wild fruits, my old man can't eat them alone, by the way, there is a chestnut tree in front, I don't know how much is left now, you can go and eat slowly if you have time." Old man Li's expression was cold, but he was a very talkative old man.

"Thank you, Elder Li, let's go over and have a look tomorrow." Gesang smiled gratefully, and then glanced at Wang Xiaoxia secretly.

Wang Xiaoxia tasted a sip of fruit wine, the taste was average, to be honest, it was not as good as her craftsmanship. However, this old man Li really knows everything, I heard him just talk about the weather, the fruits in the mountains, the hot springs, and many things that are found in the mountains.

She asked curiously, "Old Li, how many years have you lived here?" ”

"How many years, I forgot, at least four or five years, right?" Old man Li tried to remember that he had gone out of the mountain col to the village below the mountain before, and it should probably be this number.

It seems that this is an old man who is not willing to be lonely, how can he really escape the world go to the bottom of the mountain?

Most of the people who avoid this are not people in the rivers and lakes, but some dignitaries, because those dignitaries will no longer wander around small mountain villages.

"Elder Li, come, eat meat, this is the barbecue sauce made by my eldest daughter-in-law, and the meat that is roasted on the brush tastes very good." Sun Qingmao seemed to be in a lot of energy, and at this time, he could also sit with everyone and barbecue.

Old man Li was not polite at all, took a rabbit leg and ate it in a big gulp, and while eating, he praised it in his mouth: "Delicious, delicious!" Old man, I haven't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time, you don't know, how difficult it is to cook for one person, to make too much, to waste, and to eat less is not enough to eat. The most important thing is that I can't do my craft, so I can only barely fill my stomach. ”

The corners of Wang Xiaoxia's mouth raised, this old man is really cunning enough, this is to eat with them, so that he can cook by himself.
