Wang Jin was busy building a house, so Li Xiao had to do the work in the fields by himself. Mao Mingzhu found time to help a few times after finishing her work, and it was finished quickly.

It was damp early in the morning, and there was still some work in the fields that had not been finished. Li Yunshan left after dinner.

Mao Xiaosui stood by the wall and watched him go downhill. When he was about to go back to the house, Yang Cui called her in the yard, "Do you have any medicinal powder?"

Mao Xiaosui ignored her, blocked the door and returned to the house. After a while, the courtyard door rang, and Mao Mingzhu called her outside.

Mao Mingzhu stood at the door and asked her, "Do you have any powder?"

Mao Xiaosui nodded and took her into the house.

Mao Mingzhu was not in a hurry to leave. She sat down and said, "Don't be as knowledgeable as her..."

Mao Xiaosui interrupted her, "Since you mentioned it, I'll tell you what I think. You are my aunt. Whether you are separated or not, in the end it has nothing to do with me and it is not my problem."

"Yang Cui treats us badly because I borrowed money and food from my cousin. How can there be such a reason in the world?"

"I borrowed it for my aunt's sake, and I think my aunt also wanted me to borrow it. Although the family is separated, they are your children after all, and you don't want to see them forced to have nowhere to go and no food to eat... …”

"Yes." Mao Mingzhu sighed, "After all, it is the flesh that fell from my body. How can I really bear to see them suffer."

"My aunt asked me not to be the same as her, but I don't owe her anything, and I have no obligation to tolerate or tolerate her unreasonable troubles."

"I'll talk to her when I get back." Mao Mingzhu took her hand, "I've wronged you."

"I'm quite aggrieved, and I don't intend to suffer this grievance. You are my aunt. As long as you recognize me, I will recognize you at any time. But I am a little angry and I won't accept it." Mao Xiaosui said.

Mao Mingzhu sighed, "What you said makes sense..."

After sitting for a while, Mao Mingzhu left, and Mao Xiaosui didn't go to see her off either.

After finishing the work in the fields, Li Yunshan was about to cut down trees when Wang Jin came to find him.

When he walked in, he said, "Yunshan, help me build a house."

"Sure." Li Yunshan responded.

He doesn’t help all day long, either in the morning or in the afternoon.

Time flies to June, and some of the early house builders in the village have already started building walls, while Wang Jin has just started preparing the land.

When Li Yunshan came back for lunch, he felt as if he had been buried in the soil for several years, with a pile of soil on his head.

"Did you... let someone hit you on the ground?" she asked.

Li Yunshan was amused by her words and explained, "My uncle stepped on a mouse hole when he was digging. He lost his footing and fell. A shovelful of dirt fell on my head."

"You weren't injured in the fall, were you?"

"No, I sprained a bit and sat down on the ground."

Mao Xiaosui felt relieved. He pointed to the bucket and basin in the yard and asked him, "Should you wash first and then eat, or eat first and then wash."

Now when he goes to work, Mao Xiaosui always dries out water in the yard in advance.

"Wash first." Li Yunshan blocked the door and stood in the yard to wash.

By the time he finished washing, Mao Xiaosui had washed all the pots and cleaned up the kitchen stove and floor.

After eating in the sun for a while, Li Yunshan's hair was almost dry. He went to sleep in the house. Mao Xiaosui washed the rice bowl, poured out the swill, took the eggs, and threw away the grass for the rabbit.

The second nest of female rabbits has also come out, and together with the previous nine, there are a total of twenty-one rabbits, which means they get a lot of grass in a day.

Li Yunshan was already asleep in the room. She opened the window a little wider and went to sleep too.

I took a nap in the morning and didn't feel too sleepy now.

After squinting her eyes for a while, she felt her legs begin to cramp. She quickly sat up and picked up a wooden stick from under the pillow and started beating it. She reached out and pulled the stool not far from the bedside, put her legs up and pinched it.

In the afternoon, Li Yunshan went to the mountain. After Mao Xiaosui woke up, he washed the clothes and shoes he wore in the morning. He was sitting in the yard basking in the sun with a bowl of water when Mao Mingzhu suddenly called out.

When Mao Xiaosui walked to the wall, Li Xiao was already shouting.

Mao Xiaosui only remembered that Li Xiao was due to arrive, and she was one month later than Li Xiao.

She had never felt nervous in such a long time. Now, listening to Li Xiao's shouts, her stomach began to contract unconsciously and there was a dull pain.

She knew she was too nervous and frightened, so she didn't listen and hurried back to the house.

Mao Xiaosui didn't know if it took so long for a woman to give birth to a baby. The Wang family's movements continued from the afternoon to midnight. Li Yunshan was also disturbed by her tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, so he simply went to get two bowls of poached eggs.

After eating, Mao Xiaosui lay down again. Li Yunshan got up from time to time to look at her and found that she had kept her eyes open and was awake.

Li Yunshan gently touched her belly and didn't fall asleep until dawn.

Li Yunshan didn't go to help in the morning and slept until three o'clock in the morning before going to cut grass.

Mao Xiaosui went to Wang's house. When he went, Li Xiao was breastfeeding the child. His face looked a little pale, but he looked happy.

"Boy?" she asked.

Li Xiao nodded and pointed to the stool for her to sit on.

Mao Xiaosui put the basket on the ground and said, "There is no good stuff at home, so I brought you some eggs."

Li Xiao responded with a smile and said, "You're almost here too."

Mao Xiaosui sighed, "I'm still scared."

"Just get over it. Which woman doesn't get over it like this?"

Li Xiao turned the child towards her and said with a smile, "How beautiful it is."

Mao Xiaosui took a look when he came in. He was darker than Ding Pingsui, and his face was also wrinkled. There was a layer of black skin on his face, like the skin of a snake waiting to shed.

She still took a few glances at Li Xiao's words and nodded, "It's cute."

Li Xiao kissed him on the cheek, and just as he was about to speak, Wang Shi came in from the door.

Although Li Xiao was dissatisfied with the amount of money he spent, he was not disgusted or malicious. He even smiled and said, "Look, your brother."

Wang Shi walked up to him, reached out and grabbed the child's hand, and called "little brother."

Li Xiao let him touch him for a while and then stopped. Mao Xiaosui stretched out his hand to him.

Wang Shi walked over, pointed at her belly, and said, "My aunt's younger brother."

Wang Shi always looked sick, and the reason for his poor health was that he was not as active as other children in the village.

Mao Xiaosui had a conversation with him, and Mao Mingzhu came in, smiled and touched Wang Shi's head, and then looked at the child sleeping on the bed.

Ask Li Xiao, "Are you making a lot of noise?"

"Not too noisy." Li Xiao replied with a smile.

Mao Mingzhu also kissed the child on the face, and then looked at Mao Xiaosui, "You girl is almost here. When the time comes, let Yunshan call me, and your aunts and I will help you."

Mao Xiaosui imagined the scene and nodded awkwardly, "Okay."

Mao Mingzhu scolded her and laughed, "I'm sorry."

Mao Xiaosui stood up quickly and said with a smile, "I'll go back first."

Li Xiao said, "I won't give it to you."

"No need." She got up and walked out. She saw Yang Cui picking wild vegetables in the yard. When he saw her coming out, he asked, "Xiao Sui is here."

Mao Xiaosui responded, and Mao Mingzhu sent her out.

Her home was just across the street, so she hurriedly told Mao Mingzhu, "Auntie, there's no need to give it away. Just ask Yan'er to bring the basket to me."

"What basket?" Mao Mingzhu asked.

"I brought some eggs to replenish my cousin's health."

"You girl..." Mao Mingzhu still smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask Yan'er to bring it to you in the afternoon."

After saying a few more words, Mao Xiaosui went home holding his belly.

Li Yunshan hadn't come back yet, so she went to get the eggs and then went back to the house to cook.

As soon as the porridge was cooked and the vegetables were washed, Heizi came in. After a while, the door to the backyard also rang.

She started the fire and prepared to stir-fry. When Li Yunshan came in, he asked her, "Boy or girl?"

"Boy." Mao Xiaosui frowned.

"what happened?"

"A bit ugly." Mao Xiaosui said, "Uglier than Ping Sui."

Li Yunshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Children are like this when they are born. It will take a while for them to get better."

Mao Xiaosui naturally knew it and laughed.
