He Xi lowered his head slightly, with a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face, and said, "My father and mother left early, and I was only eleven years old when I left, so it was the time to eat." My sister-in-law had just married at that time, and she always thought I ate too much. ”

"I couldn't do any work back then, and now I still think about it?" Qian asked.

He Xi nodded: "It's still suspicious." My brother and sister-in-law quarreled a lot about me. I myself felt that I couldn't go, and I came out at the age of twelve or thirteen to find a job. The money I earned was also given to my sister-in-law, thinking that she could quarrel with my brother less. But every time I go back, she never gives me a good face. ”

This is the first time Qian has asked him about his family, and he didn't think he was still a poor person. At first, I thought that his family was poor and needed to find a long-term job.

"So, you haven't married a daughter-in-law?" Qian asked curiously.

He Xi shook his head: "I didn't marry." After speaking, he laughed again, "It's good that I don't starve to death like this, and I can't marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Qian didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he said, "It's okay, it's good to feed the whole family without being hungry." Look at me, I want to raise a big family! ”

"You're amazing, a woman supporting a family." He Xi sincerely admired.

At this time, Old Man Yang came out of the house and happened to hear the two of them chatting.

"Coming back?"

"It's back, Daddy! How are you doing today? Is there anything wrong with your body? Qian hurriedly cared.

Old Man Yang glanced at He Xi, his face was pale.

"I can't die yet!"

Qian laughed and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Which little cub upset you? I teach him a lesson! ”

Old Man Yang glanced at He Xi again and said, "There is a magpie's nest in the tree in the backyard, and a crow came to occupy its nest today." ”

Qian laughed, he was really an old child.

"That's it? Drove the crow away, why is Dad still angry? No, there is a bird's nest in the tree in our backyard? Why didn't I see that? ”

Old man Yang said: "You are busy every day, how can you pay attention?" ”

Qian smiled heartily and said, "Okay, when Dabao comes back, I'll let him climb up the tree and drive the crow away, okay?" ”

Old Man Yang was speechless all of a sudden, and he was angry!

At dinner, Qian said to Dabao: "Dabao, you will go to the backyard in a while to drive away the crows in the bird's nest in the tree, your father has been angry about this for a day." ”

Dabao was a little puzzled and asked, "Is there a bird's nest in the tree in our backyard?" ”

Several children hugged the bowl and shook their heads: "No! Sir, which tree in the backyard has a bird's nest? ”

Qian only realized at this time that his father-in-law had something to say!

Old Man Yang ...... suddenly Embarrassed.

"Where do you get so many words when you eat!"

The family immediately shut up.

In the evening, Qian fetched footwater and brought it to Mr. Yang's room, it was time to have a good chat.

"Dad, daughter-in-law is stupid. If there's anything you're not doing well, tell me straight. Qian asked while washing his feet.

Old Man Yang is also very conflicted in his heart, the Qian family, as the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, really can't make mistakes, but because of this, if there is no her, the Yang family is afraid that it will be dispersed.

"Second daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work! The Yang family didn't disperse because of you, do you think that Xiaobei and Xiaoguo are still young, don't you remarry? ”

Qian was taken aback, his face full of doubts, "Dad, who are you listening to?" I never thought about it! ”

"You don't want to, but you can't stop others from thinking about you! After all, you're in your early thirties, and your colors are good. It stands to reason that the second child is gone, and I shouldn't stop you from leaving the house, but the children haven't grown up. I don't know how many more days I can live with this old bone? ”

As Old Man Yang spoke, his eyes turned red.

The Qian family finally understood why Old Man Yang was always unpleasant to look at He Xi.

It's no wonder that the old man thinks that the general long-term workers only do the work in the fields, and they don't do the housework at home. But He Xi is like a member of this family, and he does all the work inside and outside the house.

He said today that the crow took the magpie's nest, I'm afraid it was a misunderstanding!

"Dad, my daughter-in-law promises you not to remarry here! From now on, the housework of the family will not be touched by the long-term worker, and he will only take care of the work in the field, okay? Don't worry about it when you're old, your daughter-in-law just wants to earn more money and take care of you and your children. I don't have the heart to think about anything else. ”

Qian hurriedly explained to Old Man Yang that she didn't want the misunderstanding to get deeper and deeper.

Old Man Yang's eyes were still red, and he said, "Thank you for your hard work!" You are the benefactor of my Yang family! ”

"Dad, the family won't say anything outside the family, I'm also the Yang family!"

Old Man Yang was relieved, but he was bitter to Xiaoyu and Xiaobao.

The Qian family is busy with work every day, and all the housework falls on them. In the past, when the farm was slack, He Xi was doing laundry and cooking, but now it is Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu also has to raise rabbits, more than 100 rabbits, have to cut grass and feed them every day, and have to clean up the rabbit nest. There's almost no rest for the whole day.

Xiaoyu was tired and lost weight in less than half a month.

At dinner that day, she asked Qian: "Second aunt, call Uncle He Xi back!" You see, he built a shed in the ground, and lived in it, and he didn't come back. ”

"The watermelons planted in the field are almost ripe, and he is afraid that someone else will steal them. That melon can be sold for money! ”

Qian didn't tell the children the truth, so he found a reason.

"Then you don't have to keep watch day and night, besides, how hot is it in the shed at noon? What should I do if I get heat stroke? "Xiaoyu thinks Uncle He Xi is very good.

Dabao knew the reason, and he felt that his grandfather was making a big fuss, and the second aunt and Uncle He Xi didn't have that mind at all.

One just wants to make money to support his family, and the other just wants to have a place to stay.

"Xiaoyu, are you too tired every day, so you want Uncle He Xi to come back and help share it?"

Xiaoyu nodded: "Hmm!" In this summer, the clothes, shoes and socks of seven people have to be washed every day, and three meals a day have to be made. There are still more than 100 rabbits to raise. I'm half tired every day! ”

Xiaobao also said: "Me too, the rabbit nest inside and outside the house needs to be cleaned, and I have to prevent Xiaoguo from being naughty......"

As soon as the two children complained, it was just one word anyway - tired!

Xiaoyu continued: "In the past, when Uncle He Xi was at home, with his help, Xiaobao and I were much more relaxed. ”

Old Man Yang understood, He Xilai had been at home for more than half a year, and he had indeed helped their family reduce a lot of burden. He is indeed down-to-earth and diligent.

Qian said: "Xiaoyu, then I will wait for dinner to come back and make it, I will get up early and wash the clothes before I go to the shop, okay?" ”

When Xiaoyu heard Qian say this, she suddenly couldn't help it.

"Second aunt, you work very hard outside every day. It's okay, I'll do it! ”

Dabao saw that his grandfather hadn't said anything, so he asked, "Master!" At the beginning, in order to stay, didn't he promise that he could also help with housework? Does he regret it now and don't want to do it? ”
