Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

The new year has been extremely non-stop.

On the morning of the third day of the lunar new year, after dinner, I heard the men and women in the village shouting to go to the town to watch a play.

Mao Xiaosui watched them go down the slope. Li Xiao was also standing by the wall and said, "We are not so lucky."

It's one thing not to be able to travel a long way, but the important thing is that the road is too slippery and easy to fall.

Li Yunshan came out of the backyard and took her home.

Mao Xiaosui said, "You should go and see it too. There's nothing going on at home, so it's good to have some fun."

Li Yunshan shook his head, "I can't understand the show."

"Watching a play is not to understand it, but to watch the fun."

Li Yunshan still shook his head, "It's boring. I'd rather stay at home with you."

Mao Xiaosui chuckled, "You're quite sweet."

Li Yunshan glanced at her mouth.

Mao Xiaosui felt a little embarrassed when he saw him, so he covered his mouth and entered the house.

The firewood was burning brightly in the house. Li Yunshan entered the house and lay down on the bed, not forgetting to invite her to join him.

Mao Xiaosui smiled and said, "Let me sew you some clothes."

"No need." Li Yunshan said, "There are clothes, and the cloth is reserved for the children and you to make."

"I don't need it," she said. "Children don't need new clothes. They grow fast and it will be in vain when the time comes. Moreover, you don't need much large pieces of cloth. Even if you make two clothes for him, you can make one for you."

"No need." Li Yunshan still said, "You do it for yourself."

"I don't need it." She took out the cloth and pulled Li Yunshan up from the bed to measure the size.

Li Yunshan stopped lying down and sat on a stool to watch her paint and cut.

She had her own way of making clothes, but Li Yunshan just stared and didn't interrupt.

Near noon, Mao Xiaosui cut out all the cloths and put them away. He was about to cook when Heizi suddenly screamed and ran out.

Li Yunshan followed him out, and soon he heard the sound of footsteps "ta da da da..." and Ding Ping'an's voice "calling Sui Sui...".

Ding Azhuang scolded her from behind, "Call her aunt, whatever you call Suisui, she's neither older nor younger."

Mao Xiaosui opened the curtain, caught Ding Ping'an who jumped into her arms, touched her head and asked, "Is it cold?"

"It's not cold." Ding Ping'an covered his cold red face with his hands and giggled.

Mao Xiaosui pulled her into the house, looked at Ding Pingshun and Ding Azhuang, and asked, "Isn't sister-in-law here?"

"Looking after the kids."

It was obviously not the first time that Ding Azhuang came to the house. He looked around for a while and said, "It's different now that I have a mother-in-law. It looks much neater."

Mao Xiaosui laughed and said, "You have wronged him. He used to be very clean."

"It's a bit messy after all."

Ding Azhuang put the basket down, rubbed his hands and said, "I brought you some meat."

Mao Xiaosui responded and said, "I'm going to cook."

She first lit the brazier and took it to the kitchen to smoke, dug out a basin of white flour, picked up a cabbage, filled a soup basin with chicken, and got ten eggs.

He called Li Yunshan and asked him to come over with a bucket of water.

Boil the water first, knead the dough and then start cooking.

One plate of cabbage, one pot of chicken, one plate of eggs, and half a pot of chicken soup.

Li Yunshan came to the kitchen smelling the smell and brought the dishes back. Mao Xiaosui divided the noodles twice and rolled them out. After cutting them all, he put them in a clean dustpan and carried them into the house.

Li Yunshan took advantage of her time to wash the pots in the kitchen and closed the door.

Put the noodles into the pot, bring out the boiling water and pour the chicken soup over it.

Li Yunshan dug out another half bowl of salted green onions.

Add some salted green onions to the noodles and mix them in to make it more fragrant.

Ding Azhuang was not polite and ate with big mouthfuls.

After dinner, Mao Xiaosui washed the pot. Ding Pingan followed her and muttered, "Auntie, I made clothes for your baby."

The basket was still on the ground. Mao Xiaosui thought it was just meat, but after hearing this, he quickly asked, "Do you want to take it with you?"

Ding Pingshun said, "In the basket, there are also diapers. Mom said it's your first time and there are no elders in the family. I'm afraid you don't know what to prepare, so I've prepared everything for you."

Mao Xiaosui was busy pouring the swill. After coming in, he opened the cloth covering the basket and took out everything.

The top items in the basket are clothes and diapers.

There are three pieces of diapers. They feel like they were taken from old clothes, but they are quite well sewn.

Both clothes are new, and there is a pair of small shoes, the same color as the clothes, gray.

Ding Pingan held the small shoes and said, "These are my brother's shoes."

Mao Xiaosui couldn't put it down and touched it again and again, saying, "It looks good."

Except for clothes and shoes, the rest of the basket was filled with meat.

Mao Xiaosui didn't take it out, he just said, "Why did you take so much again?"

"There's nothing else to take." Ding Azhuang said bluntly, "There is a piece of lard in it, take it and put it away, don't melt it."

Li Yunshan went out with the basket, and soon walked in again, saying the same thing, "I took too much."

Ding Azhuang smiled and said, "There is no shortage at home. Your sister-in-law asked me to bring it to replenish Xiao Sui's health."

Then he looked at Mao Xiaosui and said, "You don't look very thin. Did you vomit violently?"

"It's okay. I haven't vomited much recently."

"That's good." Ding Azhuang said, "Your sister-in-law had a good appetite when she was pregnant with Ping An, but when she was pregnant with Ping An, she vomited so much that she couldn't eat anymore and lost a lot of weight."

Mao Xiaosui touched his belly and said, "This may be divided between people. I can vomit in a short time and my appetite is good."

Ding Pingshun also smiled and said, "My little aunt's face is also rosy. You can tell at a glance that my little uncle is taking good care of her."

Mao Xiaosui was amused by his serious words and asked, "How old are you?"

Ding Pingshun replied "Eight years old."

"I will be a tall man from now on," Mao Xiaosui said.

Ding Azhuang also laughed, "This guy doesn't grow by eating meat, he just grows."

"It's better to be taller," she said with a smile.

Ding Pingshun lowered his head in embarrassment, pinched Heizi's ears and started playing with them.

_

The theatergoers in the village haven't returned yet in the afternoon, and Ding Azhuang and others are about to leave.

Mao Xiaosui gave the two men ten coppers each.

Ding Pingping accepted it, but Ding Pingshun was unwilling and declined, saying, "I'm an older child."

Mao Xiaosui smiled and stuffed it into his arms and said, "An eight-year-old child can only be considered half-grown, and he can still eat candied haws."

Ding Azhuang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take it, don't be polite to your little aunt."

Ding Pingshun accepted the offer after hearing this.

The two sent them out, and there was a lot of noise in the village.

Ding Azhuang asked, "Is your village chief so lively during the New Year?"

Li Yunshan turned his face to the bottom of the village, sighed and said, "My grandma's house."

Ding Azhuang was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't your grandma live with your cousin? How could she still make such a fuss?"

"I don't know." Li Yunshan looked too lazy to say anything.

At the intersection, Ding Azhuang waved his hand and said, "Don't send me off, go back."

Li Yunshan asked Mao Xiaosui to go back first, and he sent them down the slope.

Mao Xiaosui went into the house to sweep the floor and carried another basket of firewood. After waiting for a long time, Li Yunshan didn't come back. He was about to go out for a look when Heizi ran in. Li Yunshan came back after a while.

Say "They're gone."

Mao Xiaosui nodded and said, "Bring the lard, and we'll make the soap."
