They didn't mention Li Yunxia's matter again until Mao Mingzhu came up the next day.

"Are you sure you were lame?" Mao Xiaosui asked.

"Why are you lying to me?" Mao Mingzhu said, "Li Yongqing was carried when he came back. I heard that it was Li Yunxia's men who beat him, and he almost stabbed him with a knife, and..." Her voice suddenly became much lower. The people who came back said that Li Yunxia’s daughter has been dead for several days. She came here yesterday and probably planned to hang her in front of your Fourth Master’s house early in the morning.”

"Stop talking." Mao Xiaosui shook.

She was actually a little resentful. Regardless of whether it was out of anger or something else, Li Yunxia said those words of seeking death to her. Even though she knew that she had done nothing wrong, she was still a little affected.

Mao Mingzhu actually didn't really want to talk, so she changed the topic.

It snowed harder in the afternoon. The two of them were sleeping in the house when they heard a woman in the village scolding someone again.

She wanted to turn over, but the two adults and two children were really crowded on the bed.

After lying down for a while, my back was very sore and I just got up. I pushed Li Yunshan and said, "Just kill the chicken. I'll keep the bran and feed it later."

"Sure." Li Yunshan sat up, took the knife and basin and went out.

Mao Xiaosui took the sack and followed him. He plucked the chicken feathers, washed them while Li Yunshan was cleaning them up, put them in a dustpan, and put them on a stool to bake.

The fire was blazing in the clay oven, and by the time Li Yunshan finished cleaning up the chicken feathers, they were drying up.

Mao Xiaosui washed some dried beans and simmered the rice, then made thin cotton clothes for the two children.

The smell in the house was a bit unpleasant because of the killing of chickens. Mao Xiaosui also ate half a bowl less than usual when he ate. Even Li Yunshan couldn't eat anymore. He finished one bowl, leaving a lot left, even tomorrow. The breakfast is enough.

In order to save lamp fuel, the two of them went to bed and lay down after eating, even if they were not sleepy.

_

Li Ruyi and Li Ankang were really crowded when they were placed in the middle. Mao Xiaosui said, "It's completely redundant for you to make that bed."

In the past, he was good at sleeping on the crib. Recently, Li Yunshan slept on the crib so much during the day that he didn't want to go to the crib at all, so he liked to squeeze in to sleep.

Li Yunshan looked very happy. He turned over and got out of bed. He said, "The mud stove in the side room is also dry. After dinner, we will move the things over and live in the side room. We will have a mud kang in the afternoon. Then we can make the mud kang in the main room bigger." Slept together."

The bed in the main room is against the wall of the kitchen. There is a wardrobe next to the bed, and next to it is a small shelf next to the window. The table is placed in front of the shelf, and the two small beds are squeezed together. A big clay kang would be even better. It’s crowded.

Speaking of this, she suddenly looked around the house and asked Li Yunshan, "Can you press the door?"

"What door do you press?"

Mao Xiaosui pointed to the head of the bed and said, "Cover the bed. It will be inconvenient for people to come to the house all the time."

Li Yunshan also looked at it and said for a long time, "Do you want to build a wall or press it?"

"It's wooden. When the time comes, it will be covered with oil paper so that it will be bright and light-free. The door... will be blocked with a thin curtain, so that it won't be awkward when people come."

"Okay." Li Yunshan said, "We have to wait until the weather gets warmer to do it. It's hard to drag down the trees now."

"Ducheng."

After dinner, Mao Mingzhu came. The two of them were packing and moving things without paying attention to her. When they found out, she had already left.

The side room was small, and after I finished moving my things, I realized it was crowded and crowded, but it was also warm.

She put the two babies on the hot bed to keep them warm, and she and Li Yunshan moved the bed out.

Li Yunshan went to pull soil, and she continued to dig snow and turn it into water.

It was noon in the blink of an eye. After dinner, the two of them took a nap and continued working.

Mao Mingzhu and Wang Jin came and stood by to watch and help. Mao Xiaosui was free.

She and Mao Mingzhu were sitting in the side room. Mao Mingzhu would not give up and touched the kang every now and then. The more she touched, the happier she became.

With the help of Wang Jin and others, the kang was ready in the afternoon.

After sending them out, they heard Zhang Hong cursing again.

Mao Mingzhu said, "Li Hang is ill. Zhang Hong thinks it's Li Yunxia who is the cause, and has been scolding him all day."

Wang Jin also said, “I was still standing in front of Zhang Huaixia’s house at noon and scolding her.”

"Did the fight start?"

"No." Wang Jin said, "Zhang Huaixia held a knife and said she wanted to kill Zhang Hong, but Zhang Hong ran away."

Mao Mingzhu sneered and scolded, "When the family was not separated before, your fourth master always turned against Li Kangyong and his wife. Now that they have been separated, Zhang Huaixia will naturally not swallow her anger like before. She is so angry..."

Wang Jin left first when he wanted to go to Xincun, and after saying a few words, Mao Mingzhu also left quickly.

Li Yunshan went to light the kang in the side room, while Mao Xiaosui went into the house to cook.

There were a lot of dry beans at home, so she still made stewed beans and rice, and also made mushroom and egg drop soup.

_

It was a snowy day to go to the market, especially when there was a lot of cabbage left at home. Li Yunshan packed the cabbage, put the rabbit in a sack and left.

Mao Xiaosui was afraid that he would fall, so he quickly handed him a stick to hold on to, and waited until he was out of sight when he went down the slope before returning to the house.

The door was blocked, and while I was eating roasted beans, I heard someone shouting "Yunshan..."

One voice after another, everyone knew it was Ding Wenxiu.

She was too lazy to care, and sat peacefully. After a while, the courtyard door rang. Mao Mingzhu also left when she went to the market in the morning, so she had no intention of opening the door.

Until Zhang Zhi's voice sounded.

Zhang Zhi opened the door and asked, "Are you asleep?"

"No," she said, "I thought she was an old lady."

Only then did Zhang Zhi laugh. As he walked into the house, he asked her, "I heard that you have a kang in your house. I'll come over and take a look."

Mao Xiaosui took her to the side room.

Zhang Zhi was surprised as soon as he entered the house, "Is your home so warm?"

She had already seen the kang, and quickly walked over and put her hands on it to touch it. She was even more surprised when she found that it was really hot.

"This thing is good. Your feet won't feel cold even if you lie on the bed, right?"

"It's not cold." Mao Xiaosui was quite proud.

She used to have to rest her feet on Li Yunshan's legs when sleeping in winter, but now she has a kang where she can lie down and everything will be warm and comfortable.

Because it was warm in the room, she didn't cover her child with a quilt. Li Ruyi lay on her stomach, shouting "Ahh...".

After Zhang Zhi finished watching the Kang, he went to see the two children, picked up Li Ankang, and was surprised at first glance, "How many months have you not been so beautiful?"

Mao Xiaosui followed her words and took a look. It was indeed good-looking.

She was terribly ugly before, but she has grown unknowingly, and her personality has become very different. Li Ruyi is becoming more and more noisy, while Ankang is quiet most of the time.

Not only that, the two also started fighting and cried more often. It was even more difficult to take care of than after giving birth.

Zhang Zhi hugged Li Ankang and asked, "Is this Ruyi or Ankang?"

"Well-being."

"Ankang?" Zhang Zhi was a little surprised. "Aren't all boys naughty? Why are you still the opposite in your family?"

"Maybe he can follow his father." Mao Xiaosui said with a smile.

Zhang Zhi was amused by her words, put Li Ankang on the bed, pulled the quilt over her, and said, "Xiaotian is pregnant too. She is doing well. She doesn't vomit much and her appetite is not bad."

Mrs. Qi Bin's surname is Li and her first name is Xiaotian. She has not interacted with many people in the village this year because she is taking care of the children. The few times she has met him, she has a feeling that this person has a good personality.

A bit like Zhang Zhi, gentle and gentle.

Mao Xiaosui pulled up a stool for her to sit on and said, "That's good, you won't be punished."

"Yes." Zhang Zhi said with a smile, "I just want to ask Yunshan for a favor today."

Mao Xiaosui understood: "Is it a clay bed?"

Zhang Zhi nodded hurriedly.

Mao Xiaosui also nodded and said, "He went to the market. When he comes back, I will tell him to prepare the branches, soil and water, and just call him when the time comes."

Zhang Zhi hesitated, "I wonder if Yunshan is free?"

"Yes." Mao Xiaosui said with a smile, "You have to make time if you don't have time."

But she still warned, "You need to use leaves to light the kang. If you want to use it for winter this year, you have to prepare it in advance, otherwise you might as well use a bed."

"The kang is made of earth after all, and it is colder than wood in winter."

Zhang Zhi never thought about this, and immediately stood up and said, "I'll go back and ask, and I'll come back to you later."

"Okay." Mao Xiaosui saw her out.
