After the man left, Mao Xiaosui shrank his neck and asked him, "Are you angry?"

Li Yunshan glanced at her and shook his head, "You are right."

"I used to only think that after all, she was taken over by an elder, and she lost her son one after another. She also really loved me when she was a child... Even though I was angry sometimes, I could only endure it."

"It's not your fault that she lost her son."

Li Yunshan smiled and said, "Yes, it's really not my fault..."

The weather is getting warmer, and the two pieces of frozen pork at home are starting to melt.

Mao Xiaosui took it into the kitchen, cleaned the jar and dried it as usual.

Throw in half a handful of Sichuan peppercorns, cut the meat into thick slices and fry in a pan until the fat is released. Fry until golden brown on both sides before placing it in a jar.

I poured out the oil in the pan and continued frying. The two pieces of meat were fried in a big pot, and the smell of oil was everywhere in the village.

In March, the ice and snow on the mountains melted, the river gurgled, wild vegetables and fungi began to sprout, and villagers began to go to the fields one after another.

The villagers have special tools for plowing the land, a curved piece of wood with one end sharpened into a sharp point and the other end made into a handle.

Such tools can only be used for plowing when the land is wet, and require a lot of strength.

More than a month has passed, and the wound on her forehead has scarred. Although it looks a bit ferocious, she is in a good mood.

Li Yunshan said the same thing. If he says he is not moving, he really is not moving.

She turned to look at the two people in the field next to her.

Ding Wenxiu is not here, and only Li Yunqiang and Lu Xiaoxia are working in the fields.

The last time things happened like that, Li Yunqiang didn't even have to admit his new wife.

During the few times they met, Mao Xiaosui found that Lu Xiaoxia was not as reserved as she thought.

Although she was not enthusiastic when meeting her, she would at least call her sister-in-law.

Farming is time-consuming, one acre of land takes two days.

Turn the ground over, scatter the seeds, and smooth the ground with a rake.

Our family also planted one acre of wheat this year, and it has been half a month since we finished working on the six acres of land.

When I got home at noon, the sun was so hot that it felt like I was back in summer, and my body was very sticky.

There was no water in the kitchen, so she carried the bucket and walked out. Li Yunshan saw her and asked, "No water?"

"I want to wash it, it's all smelly."

"Let's eat first and talk about it later."

"It's not noon yet." She walked out and said, "You can take a rest, I'm not tired."

Most of the fire farming was done by Li Yunshan. She just picked grass and scattered seeds. She was not too tired to move. The main reason was that she smelled so bad that she could wake up even in her sleep.

"Then you should do less." Li Yunshan washed his face and entered the main room.

Before Mao Xiaosui went out, he told him, "Don't sleep. Wipe off and change your clothes after a while. I'll go wash them in the afternoon."

"I know." Li Yunshan went into the main room to find his clothes, and lay half on the bed for a while. He was almost asleep when he heard the creak of the courtyard door outside.

She cooked the porridge while the water was boiling, and then called Li Yunshan.

Li Yunshan carried water to wash herself, and she also made a basin for herself and carried it to the side room. When she entered the main room to get her clothes, Li Yunshan had already finished taking off her clothes.

"Want to wipe it?" he asked.

Mao Xiaosui shook his head hurriedly, picked up the clothes on the bed and went out.

Soapberry is very convenient to wash. Just wet it and rub it vigorously to create a lather, then rub it into wet hair, and finally wash it off.

She tied her washed wet hair with a gray cloth band, wetted the cloth and applied some soapy soap foam on it, then used it to scrub her body.

The door of the main room rang quickly, followed by the sound of footsteps walking out.

"Are you ready?" Li Yunshan asked her.

"Bring me another basin of water."

Li Yunshan responded and entered the kitchen.

The side door was unlocked, just closed. Mao Xiaosui originally wanted to let him leave it outside, but he brought it in directly.

She was a little embarrassed. It was not appropriate to block him or not, and it was even more inappropriate to call him a gangster.

Li Yunshan didn't seem to notice her embarrassment, and even looked at her a few more times.

In the afternoon, as soon as she got up from bed, she heard Mao Mingzhu calling him outside.

She hurriedly responded and ran out without even putting on her shoes.

Mao Mingzhu was standing on the slope. When she saw her coming out, she shouted, "Do you want to go to the river to wash clothes?"

"Go ahead, wait for me."

"There's no rush." ​​Mao Mingzhu said, "I'll go back and clean up first."

She responded and quickly entered the main room.

Li Yunshan was still sleeping in the room, so she patted him and took off the bedding.

There were a lot of dirty clothes to be washed. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to carry them out, so she only took the bedding and a few pairs of shoes to wash. When she walked out with the basin, she asked him, "When you wake up later, take the bedding out to dry."

Li Yunshan immediately carried him out, went into the kitchen to drink water, and then the two of them went out together.

Mao Mingzhu was waiting for her on the hillside. When she got closer, she asked, "What are Li Yunshan going to the mountain for?"

"I don't know." He didn't even bring a basket, so he probably just walked around.

Mao Mingzhu was really envious, "Those men in my family became uncles as soon as they finished their work in the fields. I have to go and hunt for chickens at this moment."

"Where's Li Xiao?"

"I'm cleaning the house. Yang Cui can't move around to take care of the children. I'm already a grandma and can't stop."

"Then you tell me whether you are happy to be a grandma or not?"

Mao Mingzhu laughed and scolded, "You damn girl, you only want to make me happy."

There are already many people by the river, not only from the village but also from other nearby villages.

Mao Xiaosui also saw Lu Xiaofang, the most beautiful person in the whole country.

She has an oval-shaped face, fair skin, and smooth lines. She is not as short, thin and shriveled as other women in the village. She is squatting by the river and beating her clothes with a wooden stick.

Mao Xiaosui had seen her and Lu Xiaoxia several times in the past. Most of the time, Lu Xiaoxia was working while she sat aside.

Mao Mingzhu obviously saw it too, and whispered, "I heard that the Lu family is going to send her to the town. If a rich family really takes a fancy to her, she will live a happy life in the future..."

"Do they still know people in the town?"

The rich people here have always looked down upon the poor. Anyone who has a rich relative will probably walk sideways throughout the country.

"I heard..." Mao Mingzhu's voice became even lower, "They want to sell her to a rich family as a roommate."

"Although intercourse doesn't sound good, as long as she can enjoy happiness, who cares about that? If she has a good life, wouldn't it be enough for her to have a good life in the future if she has a boy and a girl?"

"Isn't Tongfang just a maid? What blessings can she enjoy?"

"That's unskilled. Those who are capable have climbed to the position of head wives."

"We people have no face and no figure. Otherwise, whoever would marry and serve in this remote place would have already gone to enjoy the blessings."

"What a pity..." She sighed, "We don't have this fate."

Mao Xiaosui glanced at Lu Xiaofang and saw her beating her clothes with impatience on her face and looking at her hands from time to time.

Probably because he felt wronged for doing such dirty work.

She brought a lot of soap berries, all of which were small fruits she picked up last year. They didn't hurt her when using them, and the clothes she washed smelled much better than plant ashes.

Mao Mingzhu didn't use her own plant ashes at the moment, so she grabbed the soap nuts in her wooden box and started using them.

Mao Xiaosui didn't mind either, chatting with her while washing.
