After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

When the woman saw the four children, their mouths were so dry that their skin broke.

She hesitated and said, "My house is right in front. Do you want to go get a bowl of water?"

This place is called Zhaojiacun, and there are only about thirty households in the village.

The woman who entertained Jiang Xiaohua and his party was named Huaihua.

Huaihua's husband is a bricklayer. The weather has been fine in the past half month. He has endless work to do outside and has not been home for a long time.

There are no elderly people in Huaihua's family, only four children, the oldest is eleven years old and the youngest is five.

A group of people walked into the gate and seemed to fill the entire small courtyard at once.

Huaihua took out all the small benches at home, but they were still not enough.

Uncle Liu Er's three sons repeatedly told the host not to bother, they could just sit on the ground.

Sophora japonica gave up and went to the kitchen to scoop out water.

Knowing that so many people were causing trouble, everyone was very conscious. Some helped carry water, and others helped clean the yard. In short, whenever they saw something useful, they did it.

Uncle Liu Er's eldest son saw a well outside the door.

He also insisted on filling the two water jars at Huaihua's house, and then sat down to drink water.

Sophora japonica became a little embarrassed, "I just want to treat you to two bowls of well water."

"Why did you guys clean up the yard for me?"

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and said, "It's just a little effort, and being idle is also idle."

Aunt Zhou also said, "We are all ordinary people. Who is not accustomed to doing these jobs?"

Sophora japonica also sat down and chatted with everyone.

"The fields have been very busy recently, and I really don't have time to clean up here at home, so I made you laugh."

Jiang Xiaohua recalled seeing Sophora japonica carrying a hoe just now, and asked, "When I came here just now, I saw that there were no crops in the field?"

Uncle Liu Er said, "Although this place needs to sow wheat in winter."

"But I remember that we all finished sowing before the beginning of winter."

Sophora japonica sighed, "My family is out looking for work."

"The three acres of land at home depend on me alone, so it is inevitably slower than others."

"I'm worried too. Even if my family has enough food and clothing, I still can't bear to let this good land go to waste."

Except for Jiang Xiaohua and Li Yuanzhi, all those present were from farmers and could empathize with Sophora japonica’s words.

The so-called "not missing the farming season" is often about one day and one night.

One day difference in sowing time may affect the final harvest.

Liu asked with concern, "So how is the progress now?"

Sophora japonica showed a smile and said, "The seeds have been sown."

"I'll tidy up those few fields in the next two days, and that's almost it."

At this time, a boy boy ran in and said, "Mom! Auntie, do you still care about the sandy land at our house?"

When Huaihua heard the word "aunt", her expression became a little ugly.

"What else did she say?"

The male doll said, "She also said that my father has made a lot of money, and my family probably doesn't like the sweet potatoes in that field. If she doesn't want them, she will dig them in the afternoon."

Huaihua slapped her thigh and said, "What the hell, who's making a lot of money!"

After she finished speaking, she realized that there were still guests and smiled awkwardly at everyone.

"This is my third child, Gouwazi. Gouwazi, hurry up and call someone! What do your father usually teach you?"

Gouwazi looked at a group of unfamiliar guests and timidly called uncle, aunt, grandpa and grandma.

He took one last look at the four little cubs, especially Liu Guang and Liu Ming, who were about the same age as him.

"Why do you two look exactly the same?"

Liu Guang sneered, "Twins, haven't you seen them before?"

Gouwazi shook his head honestly, "I haven't seen it before."

Liu Guang grinned, "Then you've seen it now."

He put his arm around Gouwazi's shoulders familiarly and said, "Come on, adults have something to say, let's go out and play!"

The children were playing outside.

Huaihua then explained with some embarrassment, "The baby's aunt is my sister-in-law."

"We separated a few years ago."

"I've been so busy these days that I didn't bother to dig sweet potatoes, so I didn't know that I would be missed."

It can be seen that there is no harmony between the sisters-in-law. Sophora japonica becomes very unhappy when this issue is mentioned.

"It seems like I don't have enough money anymore, but she actually wants to help me out of kindness."

Jiang Xiaohua rolled her eyes and suggested with a smile, "Sister-in-law Huaihua, if you are too busy right now, we can help you dig sweet potatoes."

Everyone's eyes lit up, including Sophora japonica.

Bankers have their own set of unwritten rules.

If a family has endless farm work, everyone comes to help.

But this is definitely not free help.

First of all, the host family must at least take care of the food for the helpers.

Then when the farm work is done, there are leftover scraps left in the field.

Those who work can also distribute the money as appropriate, as a way of expressing gratitude to the neighbors.

Sophora japonica clapped her hands happily and said, "If you can really dig up those sweet potatoes, you will have done me a great favor."

Jiang Xiaohua asked what the others meant.

Aunt Zhou's family and Uncle Liu's family all agreed.

They have made it this far, with not a single grain left and in urgent need of replenishment.

Although Jiang Xiaohua has money.

But she has a more important purpose.

I plan to wait until I complete this goal and then purchase supplies in the next town.

No one who worked had any objections.

Sophora japonica expressed her position happily, "The sandy land is at the foot of the hillside, only a narrow strip."

"With so many of you, we can do it this afternoon."

"You get 60% of all the sweet potatoes dug out, and I get 40%!"

Jiang Xiaohua was a little surprised, "It's not good for us to take more than half of the sweet potatoes you worked so hard to grow."

Huaihua waved her hand very boldly, "It's okay!"

"I just won't make steamed buns to fight for my reputation! You are good people, and I am happy when I give it to you!"

"Let me see who else is staring at my sweet potatoes and taking me for granted!"

The last sentence is of course referring to Huaihua’s sister-in-law.

Just do it, Huaihua immediately heated up a large pot of steamed buns and cooked a pot of stew.

Everyone had a warm meal and went out to work with their farm tools.

While walking, Aunt Zhou laughed softly and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I haven't eaten steamed buns in a long time, and I'm exhausted."

Liu covered her mouth and smiled, "Me too."

Liu's mother-in-law, Da Zou, said, "As long as we work hard, we can get sweet potatoes today."

“You won’t have to worry about being hungry when you’re on your way.”

Everyone is full of hope for the future.

For them, it is just another place to do what they are most familiar with.

Jiang Xiaohua glanced at Li Yuanzhi and teased, "I have never seen Mr. Li doing farm work, can you do it?"

Li Yuanzhi said. "Isn't it just digging sweet potatoes? Just dig them out of the soil."

"It's not like I haven't dug up medicinal materials with you."

Xiao Miaomiao kindly reminded, "Mr. Li, when you dug up Huang Jing before, you broke all the pieces."

"In the end, my mother didn't allow you to dig. She said you would destroy each one."
