It rained heavily for two days. On the third morning, after the sun came out, the village women shouted to pick up soft-skinned vegetables.

Mao Xiaosui looked at the wall for a while, but he still didn't see the Wang family coming out.

Li Yunshan called her in the house, and Mao Xiaosui went into the house and said to him, "I haven't seen any movement at my aunt's house recently. Isn't there a lot of trouble..."

"Everyone's family will be in trouble when they are separated. Don't worry about it." Li Yunshan opened the curtain and walked out. He was still wearing the dirty clothes from the market before, and told her, "I'll go take a look in the fields. Don't pick up the soft things on the slippery road." Take the peeled vegetables and dry them in the afternoon before getting busy.

"I know." She nodded.

The sun after the rain is like a fire in winter, as warm as a stove.

Mao Xiaosui moved a stool and sat in the yard to bask in the sun. He washed and dried the smelly clothes that Li Yunshan had not dried before.

The sun came out and dried up the muddy moisture in the yard for a while, and Li Yunshan and Heizi who went to the fields also came back.

She sat still and just asked, "Are you going to be busy this afternoon?"

Li Yunshan nodded, said "Eat early today" and went to the backyard.

Mao Xiaosui dug out half a bowl of millet noodles to make noodle soup. After the meal, the two went to bed early.

When she woke up in the afternoon, Li Yunshan was sitting in the yard drinking water and sunbathing. She also drank half a bowl, and then planned to go out with Li Yunshan.

When she locked the door, she heard Li Xiao calling her from below, "Are you going to dig grass?"

She responded, and when she reached the intersection, Li Yunshan left first. She stood and waited for Li Xiao and Wang Yan for a while.

Li Xiao asked Wang Yan and Heizi to leave first, while he and Mao Xiaosui walked behind.

Li Xiao then said, "Yang Cui got sick and came out to hurt us."

"Don't agree?" she asked.

Li Xiao snorted, "Yang Cui knelt down and begged your cousin not to separate the family. Your cousin has softened his heart, but he has made me a human being."

Mao Xiaosui didn't expect this to happen, so he asked worriedly, "Then aren't all their anger directed at you?"

Li Xiao snorted coldly, "The worst case scenario is that I won't live anymore and will die with the child in my belly. I've had enough of this kind of days where I'm so hungry that I can't sleep."

Mao Xiaosui was shocked by what she said, and quickly advised, "You guys can discuss it again, don't be impulsive."

"Wang Jin doesn't feel sorry for his children, I feel sorry for him." After a pause, Li Xiao scolded, "He's such an idiot. He talks about splitting up the family every day. It's really hard for him to straighten his back and make up his mind." I'm scared again..."

Mao Xiaosui finally figured it out. The Wang family had taken out their anger on her, and life was difficult.

However, I also look down upon Wang Jin’s behavior.

He did things without thinking twice, and as a result, Li Xiao was no longer a human being inside and out.

As Li Xiao spoke, he began to cry aggrievedly, and even Heizi in front couldn't help but turn around.

Mao Xiaosui comforted him in a low voice, "Don't cry. After a while, the women will ask questions when they see you."

Li Xiao wiped his tears and said with determination, "I will take the child in my belly and die without separation, and let Wang Jin go there alone."

Mao Xiaosui has always felt that talking about death is an easy thing, but actually it takes a lot of courage to actually die.

But she still couldn't help but worry, and warned, "You... go back and have a good chat, don't be impulsive."

Li Xiao didn't respond. When he saw the people near the river, he quickly cleaned up the expressions and traces on his face.

Both of them were going downhill, and suddenly they heard a sound of "Driving...".

Turning around, they saw a donkey cart with a tightly wrapped woman sitting in it. The donkey cart was running so fast that they didn't even see who it was. They saw the cart stopped at the entrance of the village.

They couldn't see clearly either. After a while, they saw the donkey cart leaving and the woman entering the village with something in her arms.

Mao Xiaosui stared at the figure and asked, "Who is that?"

"Who knows." Li Xiao was obviously not in the mood, and said, "Maybe he went back to his parents' home."

Mao Xiaosui didn't ask much after hearing this.

When they reached the river and started digging grass, Li Xiao suddenly said, "Is that Wang Shuang? Is she holding a child in her arms?"

"She came back with the child in her arms. Was she kicked out after giving birth to a daughter?" Li Xiao muttered.

Mao Xiaosui thought it was impossible, "Didn't you say that the rich man Zhang won't give him any money now? If it was really her, then how could she have the money to hire a donkey cart? Judging from the color of the clothes she was wearing, it didn't look like something a poor family would be willing to wear. of……"

Li Xiao also started to doubt what she said, "But I have never heard of any girl in the village marrying a rich man. They are all from families similar to ours. Not to mention wearing red and green, even Li Yunshan doesn't have the conditions." .”

The more they thought about it, the more curious they became. Li Xiao couldn't even remember the bad things that happened in his own family.

The sun began to set in the west, and after a while Li Yunshan came down with a bucket and called her.

The three people and one dog then packed up and walked back to the slope at the entrance of the village. Li Xiao's face immediately dropped again, showing a sad look.

When she reached the intersection where her house entered, Li Xiao's steps suddenly became much slower.

Mao Xiaosui said hello to her and left, feeding the chickens and rabbits. When he returned to the front yard, he saw Li Yunshan standing in the yard carrying water.

"Close the door," he said.

Mao Xiaosui blocked the door, and then watched him take off his clothes neatly and start washing.

Mao Xiaosui washed the handle in the basin where he took a bath. When she went into the kitchen and saw that there was still some water in one of the pots, she ignored it and cooked the porridge in the pot next to it.

Li Yunshan always wets his whole body when taking a bath, rubs it with soap, and then pours the water from his head. This is faster and more convenient than scrubbing with a cloth.

There was still some water in the pot, so Mao Xiaosui lifted it all out and asked him to rinse the foam off his head again.

After Li Yunshan finished washing and getting dressed, and the porridge was cooked, she went to get six eggs, dig out a spoonful of diced meat and stir-fry some vegetables.

While eating, Mao Xiaosui asked, "How many more days are there?"

"It still takes time to dig out half of the slope. I estimate... half a month."

Mao Xiaosui sighed, "You don't have to go every day. Go for three or four days and wait for one day. Who among them has the nerve to say a word to you, by the way..." She asked again, "Has Li Yunqiang gone?"

"No." Li Yunshan shook his head, "My grandma had such trouble with my second wife before, and said those outrageous words... They helped me before, and I can't just sit back and watch."

Mao Xiaosui nodded and asked, "I haven't seen him or Lu Xiaoxia recently. Did they go to the mountains?"

"I don't know." Li Yunshan didn't know either, and said, "I've seen grandma a few times, and she doesn't look very energetic."

"Did I scold you?"

Li Yunshan stopped talking.

"Forget it." Mao Xiaosui said, "I haven't given you a good look a few times in my life, so don't worry too much."

Li Yunshan responded, put the bowl down and said, "I'm full."

Mao Xiaosui was a little surprised: "Don't you usually have to eat two bowls?"

"I'm too sleepy and can't eat anymore." Li Yunshan stood up and said, "Please clean up, I'll go to bed."

"Go ahead." She waved her hand.

After dinner, there were some eggs left on the plate, so she put them all together, put the remaining porridge into a soup basin, washed the pot, poured water in and boiled it.

While the water was boiling, I picked and washed the wild vegetables I dug up in the afternoon, poured the boiling water in to scald and soak them, and dug out a bowl of white flour to scald the pancakes.

After finishing her work, it was getting dark, so she wiped the pot and poured half a bucket of water into it to boil. When the water was hot, she went to the hut and took the basin that she had used in the middle of the night.

After lighting the oil lamp in the room, I went to bring water to scrub.

Li Yunshan didn't sleep deeply today. He woke up when she was washing the towels, but he looked a little dazed. He stared at her for a long time, and suddenly closed his eyes again when she asked aloud.

Mao Xiaosui looked at it blankly, feeling as if he was exhausted.

She put on her underwear and poured water directly into the yard.

It was too dark and I didn't pay attention. After the water was poured out, I heard Heizi yelling, and then a black mass got up from where she poured the water and lay on the steps.

Mao Xiaosui ignored it, blocked the door and went back to the house to sleep.
