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

Uncle Liu Er's three sons have already left carrying the sweet potatoes.

Aunt Zhou, Huaihua, Aunt Liu and other women worked together and walked behind carrying a bag of sweet potatoes.

Watching Li Yuanzhi carrying sweet potatoes alone and walking quickly in front.

Aunt Zhou glanced at Jiang Xiaohua playfully and whispered, "Man, it doesn't matter if he can't do farm work for a while. As long as he is willing to learn, it is best if he has this intention."

Jiang Xiaohua didn't know why Aunt Zhou suddenly said this.

Just as he was surprised, he found that other people were looking at him with the same meaningful smile.

She was even more puzzled, "Are you talking about Li Yuanzhi?"

Aunt Zhou nodded, glanced forward first to make sure Li Yuanzhi couldn't hear, and then said mysteriously:

"However, nothing is perfect. Although Mr. Li is not good at farming, he is peaceful and never messes with women. He also has the skills to perform acupuncture and treat diseases."

Jiang Xiaohua laughed and said, "Auntie, the more I hear what you are saying, the less I understand."

"Hi!" Aunt Zhou saw that Jiang Xiaohua was really confused, so she had to speak openly, "Silly girl! I'm talking about your life-long event!"

"You are still very young. It is too hard to raise four children by yourself. You have to find someone who knows both the cold and the hot to help you live your life in the future."

"I watched with cold eyes all the way. Mr. Li treats the children, and the children also like him. He obeys your words even more. It goes without saying, why don't you think about it?"

Jiang Xiaohua was stunned. She never expected that she would be forced to get married by Aunt Zhou.

She had absolutely no plans to get married at the moment.

But seeing that Aunt Zhou also had good intentions, Jiang Xiaohua patiently explained, "Mr. Li and I are not the kind of relationship you think."

"I asked him to be a teacher for the children. The reward is to take care of food, food and housing, that's all."

Aunt Liu Er said hurriedly, "Xiaohua, you became a widow just after you passed away. This is already the Liu family's sorry for you."

"Don't have any worries in your heart. If you want to get married, your second uncle and I will definitely support it."

Jiang Xiaohua smiled bitterly and waved her hands, "I really don't have this idea."

How could she explain to these ancients that she had absolutely no idea of ​​keeping a chastity memorial or erecting a chastity arch after losing her husband?

So I could only say seriously, "For the time being, I just want to make a living and live a good life."

"I haven't thought about other things yet."

The women looked at each other and actually expressed support for Jiang Xiaohua's idea.

Da Zou sighed, "In my opinion, what's so good about men? If I had Xiao Hua's ability, I would..."

She glanced at her mother-in-law and held back the rest of her sentence, "I stopped serving her a long time ago."

There were a total of twenty sacks of sweet potatoes in the field, and it took two trips to move them all.

When I came back from the last trip, even though it was already evening, I could still tell that the sky was gloomy.

Sophora japonica distributed ten sacks of sweet potatoes as promised.

Aunt Zhou and Uncle Liu both proposed to let Jiang Xiaohua do the distribution.

Jiang Xiaohua did not shirk, and said with a smile, "Everyone participated in the labor. When it comes to distribution, of course it must be calculated on a per capita basis."

There are two bags of sweet potatoes from Mrs. Zhou’s house, two bags from Jiang Xiaohua’s house, and six bags from Uncle Liu’s house.

Uncle Liu Er and Aunt Zhou felt a little sorry.

Uncle Liu Er said, "Give us six bags. This is too much. I'll share some with you."

Aunt Zhou nodded and said, "I can't help it anymore. There are two people in my family, two adults in Xiaohua's family, and four children. How can they have the same number as me? It's better to separate mine."

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, please listen to my reasoning."

"When we were working just now, Uncle Heiwa and Auntie were doing two heavy labors."

"Our whole family together can only contribute about the same amount as you two."

"As for the second uncle and the second aunt, you have more than a dozen people in total. If you divide it into six bags, I just did a rough calculation. I'm afraid you will suffer a loss."

What Jiang Xiaohua said was both clear and reasonable.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhou no longer objected.

According to the previous plan, they would camp out on the edge of the village tonight.

The group of people said goodbye to the host's house and just walked out of the courtyard gate.

Sophora japonica chased after me, "The wind has picked up, I'm afraid it will be very cold tonight."

She glanced at Jiang Xiaohua and said, "But my house only has two kangs, and the man is not at home, so I can only leave the woman and the baby to stay for one night."

The men present were very happy to hear this and immediately stated that they were used to living outside.

He also urged his daughter, Dou, to leave them alone and go back to the house with Sophora japonica.

This is a long lost night.

Sleeping in a quiet room, there is no cold wind around, with a thick quilt on the body and a hot ondol underneath.

Everyone washed up and lay in rows on the kang, all with smiles on their lips.

Aunt Zhou covered herself with a quilt and sighed comfortably, "I have forgotten what it feels like to sleep in bed."

"This is a kang, not a bed." Someone corrected me.

Everyone laughed again.

Mrs. Liu turned over and said, "I don't know if Aunt Six is ​​sleeping in that room."

Huaihua invited Jiang Xiaohua and her family to sleep with her and the children in the main house.

This broke Liu's original wish to have a night talk with Aunt Six.

In the main room, Jiang Xiaohua had just come back from outside, rubbing her hands and saying, "It's really cold."

"The wind is blowing hard outside, and there will probably be frost on the grass and trees tomorrow morning."

Huaihua opened the quilt next to her and whispered, "Take off your cotton-padded jacket and come in to warm yourself up."

The quilt given to Jiang Xiaohua was also the dowry of Sophora japonica.

It is rarely used and is almost brand new.

Next to them, eight little cubs were already asleep.

Jiang Xiaohua was afraid of waking them up, so she carefully took off her clothes and got into the quilt, and suddenly felt that her body was wrapped in warmth.

She whispered, "Thank you for the soju, they will be much better tonight."

Huaihua was too sleepy to open her eyes, so she just pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't be so polite."

Just now Jiang Xiaohua went out for a trip, firstly to settle her own troubles.

The second is to give a jar of soju to the men camping outside.

The sorghum liquor was given by Sophora japonica. She brewed the sorghum sorghum with local methods, also called shaodaozi by the locals. It was very strong.

At night, sit around the fire and drink a few sips to burn the knife to keep you warm from the cold.

The next morning, everyone was squatting in the yard roasting sweet potatoes, and the man from Huaihua came back early.

Huaihua greeted him in surprise, explained to him why so many outsiders came to the house, and introduced them one by one.

The man from Huaihua is named Zhang Fugui, and he is a bricklayer.

He had a square face and a simple and straightforward smile, "I'm not at home. Thank you for helping my wife with the farm work."

"If you are unfamiliar with this place, if you need help with anything, just tell me."

Others said it was nothing.

Only Jiang Xiaohua suddenly asked, "Brother Zhang, does he know where I can buy carriages and horses nearby?"

Everyone looked sideways, and even Li Yuanzhi showed a surprised expression.
