During the lean years, I relied on space to pamper my husband and raise my children.

Shen Qianning decided to take the children to visit Uncle Xiao tomorrow.

She didn't have a very good impression of other people in the village, but she had a pretty good impression of Old Man Xiao.

The next day.

After Shen Qianning had breakfast, she went to Uncle Xiao's house with Xiao Feiye and the children.

Uncle Xiao's house was simply tidied up.

Yesterday they returned to the village relatively late and did not move around the village.

This morning, the family took a walk around the village and discovered that all the other houses in the village had been looted. Just their house was the same as it was when they left, and it was still the same when they came back.

He wasn't stupid, so why didn't he know that all this had something to do with Xiao Feiye and Shen Qianning.

When Mr. Xiao saw Xiao Feiye's family coming, he quickly invited them into the yard and then asked the female family members to boil water.

Shen Qianning looked around the yard and said, "You guys have already cleaned it up in just one night, and I even said I would come to help today!"

Uncle Xiao is a sensible person and a grateful person. He thanked you and said, "Thank you for helping us guard the yard. If it weren't for you, our family would have suffered heavy losses."

Although none of the furniture in your home is valuable, everything is extremely useful.

If it is stolen, it will still feel very distressing.

What's more, their family now has no extra money to buy furniture.

Shen Qianning and Xiao Feiye looked at each other.

I accepted all the thanks to Mr. Xiao.

Xiao Feiye explained: "People from Qingtian Village have been here, and you also know that as long as people from the nearby villages go out to escape, they will be looted once. Everyone wants to find something they can use. I asked them not to come to your yard, so the village Your yard is relatively complete.”

Xiao Feiye didn't say a single unnecessary word to other people in the village. They were just a bunch of white-eyed wolves who had nothing to say.

Xiao Ji thought carefully about Xiao Feiye again last night.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like I was nothing before.

He personally brought a bowl of boiling water to Xiao Feiye, and mustered up the courage to apologize: "Feiye, I was wrong when I and the villagers turned against you before. Please forgive me."

Xiao Feiye didn't expect that Xiao Ji would apologize to him.

It's still about what happened before.

Quite a bit flattered.

"Brother Ji, you are a bit out of touch when you say this. I have never been angry with you."

This is a truth, even if you don't look at the monk's face, you can't look at the Buddha's face. Even if Xiao Ji has many things wrong with him, he will not care about Xiao Ji for the sake of Old Man Xiao.

not to mention.

Although Xiao Ji distanced himself from him, he never caused any trouble for him.

Shen Qianning said nothing, just watched this scene quietly.

Xiao Ji immediately called the children at home to come over.

Uncle Xiao has only one son, Xiao Ji, and Xiao Ji has given birth to five children, the oldest of which is 12 years old.

Xiao Ji asked the children to apologize to Xiao Feiye together.

Xiao Dongchen, Xiao Nanchuan and Xiao Xiyue were sitting in front of Shen Qianning from the moment they entered the room. They were very well-behaved.

At this time, Xiao Ji's five children came forward to invite Xiao Dongchen's three brothers to play together.

Although the three children were very happy and excited, they did not agree.

Instead, he looked at Shen Qianning and Xiao Feiye at the same time.

Shen Qianning's eyes were full of doting: "If you want to play, you can come along, but you are not allowed to fight or quarrel!"

Xiao Ji also asked the children to take care of the three Xiao Dongchen brothers.

Several children went to the yard.

Xiao Ji also sat down.

Shen Qianning was curious about what was going on outside and asked curiously: "Old man Xiao, where did you go to escape?"

Old Uncle Xiao slowly told what happened after they left, and Shen Qianning found out that Old Uncle Xiao and the others went to Lizhou City after they left. However, instead of living a good life, they spent all day begging outside.

Shen Qianning felt a little weird when he heard begging.

When they left the village, didn't Uncle Xiao's family take food with them?

So why beg again in the end?

Uncle Xiao sighed quietly, and said with helplessness and anger: "We are a family of nine, and we ran out of food before we could reach Lizhou City. We were lucky and found an unoccupied yard. After cleaning it up briefly, we went in The city is begging, and at the end of the day, if you are lucky, you will get one or two steamed buns, but if you are not lucky, you will have to rummage through the buckets of restaurants for something to eat, and your life will be miserable."

Shen Qianning did not expect that Mr. Xiao's family would have such a hard life outside.

Sighing: "The well will have water after you leave."

Uncle Xiao was shocked.

"Seriously?" If that's the case, it's fate.

Because the night before leaving, he went out of his way to see if there was any water in the ancient well. At that time, the well was still dry.

Xiao Feiye told what happened at that time honestly.

Then he said: "Perhaps we are lucky, or God has mercy. Our family has survived the difficulties by relying on well water. By the way, spring plowing is about to begin. What are your plans?"

Uncle Xiao sold his land, and there were not even a few acres of land left in his family.

But there are nine members of their family and there is not enough land for farming.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked embarrassedly: "Fei Ye, your family now has more than thirty acres of land. Can you rent one or two acres of land to me? I will pay the rent."

Xiao Feiye gave Shen Qianning a look, actually wanting Shen Qianning to make a decision.

Shen Qianning agreed without hesitation: "How about renting three acres of land to your family? As for the rent, I will charge whatever the outside world charges."

Uncle Xiao and Xiao Ji thanked him again and again.

After leaving Uncle Xiao's house, Shen Qianning had been thinking about renting out some land.

She held Xiao Dongchen in one hand and Xiao Nanchuan in the other.

Xiao Feiye, on the other hand, was holding Xiao Xiyue.

The family of five walked slowly home.

Xiao Feiye said: "If someone rents land, I think we can rent some out."

Shen Qianning just had this idea.

He nodded and agreed: "It is true that we can rent some out. The two of us can't cultivate thirty acres of land at all, but it's too early to say this now."

The next day, Xiao Feiye went directly to the county seat before dawn.

Because he didn't have a child with him, he was much faster on his own.

Shen Qianning was preparing some delicious food for the children at home.

In the pot was cut fat meat, and she was going to boil a little lard to make it.

The children smelled the aroma of meat and stayed in the kitchen.

Xiao Nanchuan sat behind the stove and helped light the fire.

Xiao Dongchen stood by the stove curiously and learned.

"Mom, the lard is ready, can we eat the lard residue?"

He remembered getting through it before.

I have always been thinking about oil residue.

Shen Qianning scooped out some of the dried oil residue in a bowl, then sprinkled a little salt on it, handed it to Xiao Dongchen and said, "Share it with your brothers!"

Xiao Dongchen held the bowl, took out the first piece, and fed it directly into Shen Qianning's mouth.

"Thank you for your hard work, mom. Let me eat first."

After seeing Shen Qianning eating, Xiao Dongchen started to feed Xiao Xiyue and Xiao Nanchuan, and finally it was his turn.
