Next time she'll make sure to put some clean changes of clothes in the space.

Yan Xia put on dirty clothes in disgust and prepared to go down the mountain. She hadn't eaten since noon.

I watched smoke rising from every house down the mountain.

Yan Xia's stomach growled with hunger.

"Xiong Xiong, have you finished eating? Go back. You are not allowed to come here secretly without my permission. Do you hear me? I will bring you other delicious food next time."

She warned Xiongxiong again.

"Master, Xiongxiong knows. Goodbye, Master."

After Xiong Xiong had eaten, he went to the place where Yan Xia had just bathed and drank several sips of water.

Although his stomach was not completely full, he was still three-quarters full. When he returned to the cave, he would nibble on the fruit. There was no need for dinner today.

"Well, go back. I'll watch you go back."

Yan Xia watched Xiong Xiong leave, and when she could no longer see the shadow of Xiong Xiong, she turned around and went down the mountain.

After arriving home, she went to the backyard to pick green vegetables and cucumbers, stir-fried one and served it cold. She also stewed an egg custard, three dishes and half a casserole of rice. Yan Xia ate them all.

Her belly was so full that it was round.

Zhao Xinrong took good care of the old house inside and out.

The corn is growing well in the wasteland outside the door, and the bedding on the bed still smells of sunshine. It seems that it has been taken out to dry every day.

After Yan Xia finished eating, she washed the pots and dishes, locked the door, and planned to take a walk to Zhao Xinrong's house to chat with her for a while.

Halfway there, he bumped into Zhao Yuefang.

She had a huge belly and a very thin body. She looked very scary. She was holding a bamboo basket in her hand. The basket was filled with green plants. When she got closer, it turned out to be wild vegetables.

Yan Xia calculated the time and found that the pregnancy time difference between Zhao Yuefang and Xiao He was only one month, but Zhao Yuefang's belly was ridiculously big, even bigger than her Xiao He's.

Could it be that she is pregnant with twins?

Yan Xia thinks she may have told the truth.

Since they are twins, it is understandable that their bellies are so big.

It's so pitiful. I'm afraid I'll suffer a lot during the birth.

Yan Xia's eyes were full of pity. She thought that the original owner had given birth to two children, one with twins and the other with three.

In ancient times when medical conditions were so backward, it was a blessing to be able to give birth to five children safely and still be in good health.

Probably my whole life's luck has been spent on having children, so my mother-in-law's family is not good.

The original owner also passed away tragically.

Yan Xia thought further and further until Zhao Yuefang's words brought her thoughts back.

"Auntie, you have returned to the village. Have you had dinner?" Zhao Yuefang greeted Yan Xia. She tried her best to grin her lips and showed an ugly smile.

It's not that she hates Yan Xia, on the contrary, after what happened before, Yan Xia in Zhao Yuefang's heart is like the first light she sees after falling into a dry well. It's just that she is too tired and can't muster any strength. My belly is big and heavy. Even if I eat four meals a day, I still feel hungry after eating.

As a result, there was not much food left at home.

Not enough for her at all.

Occasionally, some kind-hearted people in the village help her, such as sending an egg, grabbing half a handful of brown rice, cutting some firewood, etc.

But it's also trivial.

So much so that in the summer when the wild vegetables were thick and thick, she went to dig wild vegetables with a big belly.

Because I couldn't squat down, I could only lie on the ground holding on to the tree trunk, and then dig sideways.

After eating wild vegetables for half a month, Zhao Yuefang's face turned green, and her stools were green, like pulling grass. She was worried that her children would not be able to eat well and would not grow strong, so she took a basket with them. Freshly dug wild vegetables, ready to be exchanged for a handful of brown rice from the villagers.

But no one changed with her.

Passing by Zhao Xinrong's house, I happened to meet Yan Xia.

So there was such a scene.

"Yue Fang, why are you so thin?"

I remember when I first met Zhao Yuefang, she was still a beautiful girl, and she was the first beauty Yan Xia saw in this world. It has only been about a year, and the beauty has turned into withered grass.

It's simply deplorable.

In ancient times, a woman's life was tied to her mother's family for the first half of her life and to her husband's family for the second half of her life.

I can't help myself all my life.

If she hadn't worn it, Osmanthus and Wintersweet might have looked like this, or even worse than Zhao Yuefang. At least Zhao Yuefang's potential dangers had been solved for her.

But in the memory of Osmanthus and Wintersweet, they had neither enough food nor clothing to keep them warm, and they had to be beaten.

One was forced to marry an old man, and the other was sold into a brothel and died early.

A few days ago, Yan Xia heard Zuo Li mention that the bridge was almost completed.

By the end of the year at the latest, those hard workers should be back, and Zhao Yuefang's life will be easier, regardless of how she is.

At least Luo Bai was really kind to her.

"Auntie, it's hot and I don't have much appetite, so I've lost some weight. Auntie, are you going to visit? I'll go back first. See you later, auntie."

Zhao Yuefang didn't want Yan Xia to see her embarrassed look, so after speaking, she held her waist and left in a hurry.

Yan Xia looked away and knocked on the Zhao family's door.

Although the door is open, you still have to say hello.

This is her habit.

"Sister Xiao Xia, you have come down the mountain. Mrs. Liu told me in the morning that you went for a walk in the mountain. I was thinking about whether I should cook a meal for you, but I kept waiting and you didn't come back, so I had to go home first. Have you eaten? Come, I cooked two more dishes today, let’s eat some together.”

Villagers in the village visit the door, but if the door is open, they will go in without knocking.

So when Zhao Xinrong heard the knock on the door, her first reaction was Yan Xia.

She is the most polite.

"I'm full. Sister Zhao, you haven't eaten yet, so you eat first and I'll go for a walk elsewhere."

"No, no, no, come in and have some more. I'm waiting for you to come down the mountain."

Seeing that Yan Xiamen didn't even enter, he wanted to leave.

Zhao Xinrong stepped forward quickly, grabbed her and pulled her into the main room.

"Oh, I'm so full, Sister Zhao."

"It's okay, come in and have a bowl of egg drop soup."

Although Yan Xia is very strong, she will not forcefully break away. After all, Sister Zhao is one of the few people who is really nice to her.

So after all, I didn't defeat her.

Yan Xia went into the house and had dinner with the Qian family. She only drank half a bowl of soup. When she left the Qian family, it was already dark.

She only needs to chat with Sister Zhao.

It will go up.

The more we chatted, the more fun we had.

Yan Xia loves to listen to gossip, and Zhao Xinrong loves to tell gossip. The two complement each other perfectly, so for more than an hour, Yan Xia fully understood all the recent events in the village.

Including which family is marrying a wife and which family is marrying a daughter.

Which family's chicken was eaten by the fox?

When she got home, Yan Xia yawned three times in a row, tears welling up in her eyes. Although she had taken a shower in the afternoon, she was still sweating a little in the hot weather. Yan Xia took off her clothes and used the food she cooked while cooking. After washing myself with warm water, I put on my underwear and went back to the house to sleep.

There is only one horse for company at home.

But Yan Xia was not afraid at all.

She squeezed the pillow, adjusted it to a comfortable angle, and fell asleep accompanied by the chirping of frogs and insects.
