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

Liu Yong was also very interested in the two square quilts.

He looked around, not daring to reach out and touch it rashly for fear of being knocked apart.

Liu Yong observed the quilt and said with a smile, "It's really amazing!"

"I have never seen my mother fold a quilt like this before. I have no idea how she did it!"

Liu Guang next to him nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes."

"Our shabby quilt is always thrown on the bed randomly and never folded."

He does not mean that.

Li Yuanzhi suddenly glanced at Jiang Xiaohua.

Jiang Xiaohua herself felt guilty and quickly said, "In the past, I was indeed too lazy and neglected to manage housework."

"Didn't I show you my hand today?"

Liu Ming was filled with admiration and said, "The prodigal son will never be able to exchange for gold."

"As long as Mom can find her former self, it's never too late!"

Liu Yong, Liu Guang, and Xiao Miaomiao all nodded solemnly.

Facing the children's clear and admiring eyes, Jiang Xiaohua felt even more guilty.

She changed the subject and said, "Stop talking about the quilt."

"Let's get out quickly. We can't let others think we're staying in bed."

Jiang Xiaohua said, taking the lead in opening the door.

The early morning sunshine hit our faces with the cold air, and several people were refreshed.

Xiao Miaomiao ran out the door first, "The snow has stopped and the sky is sunny!"

There was still thick snow in the yard, but several paths had been cleared.

They lead to the main room, toilet and kitchen respectively.

After solving a series of processes after getting up early, Qin also came back from outside.

Jiang Xiaohua was about to say goodbye.

Qin hurriedly said, "This is terrible!"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiaohua asked.

Mrs. Qin sat down and took a breath before saying, "On the road to the north of the village, there may have been too much snow last night, which crushed a dead tree and caused many lumps of soil to collapse."

"I just took a special look, and the narrow passage was completely blocked."

Jiang Xiaohua was startled, "North, isn't that the only way we have to go out of the village?"

Mrs. Qin nodded, "That's why it's so bad."

She comforted Jiang Xiaohua, "Don't be too anxious. The men in the village have already gone to clean up."

"This road will be cleared by tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Not far to the north of Hualin Village is Huaishui County.

This county town was originally the only source for villagers to purchase daily necessities.

Besides, there are still some villagers who are looking for a living in the county town.

Therefore, this road is also very important to them and must be cleared as soon as possible.

Jiang Xiaohua said worriedly, "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, that means we have to wait for one to two days."

Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, just stay at my house."

"When the road is open, the snow on the ground will have almost melted."

"Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to leave then?"

Jiang Xiaohua and Li Yuanzhi looked at each other. The matter had come to this, and there was no other way.

Li Yuanzhi bowed his hands to Mrs. Qin and said, "Then our family will continue to cause trouble."

Mrs. Qin's face was full of smiles, "Hey, our two families have a life-long friendship, don't say such unreasonable things!"

Local villagers only eat two meals a day during the slack season in winter.

Around the end of Si hour and the beginning of noon, the first meal is eaten, which is called brunch.

Mrs. Qin was determined not to allow guests to cook.

But Jiang Xiaohua has never been in the habit of waiting for a meal except when she goes to a restaurant.

When she saw Mrs. Qin opening the vegetable cellar in the yard, she immediately said she wanted to help.

The winter vegetables here are abundant.

Onions, cabbage, radishes, pumpkins, and various sun-dried vegetable strips and slices.

Jiang Xiaohua held a big pumpkin in her arms and said with great interest, "Sister-in-law, it must have taken a lot of effort to prepare these before winter, right?"

Qin laughed and said, "Of course."

"After working hard for the past half a year, cats are at home this winter, and they just need to eat well!"

Jiang Xiaohua nodded and already remembered this method of storing winter vegetables.

You will always be able to use it later when you settle down and start living your life.

The army where Jiang Xiaohua was in her previous life had no shortage of fresh vegetables all year round.

In modern supermarkets, there are also a variety of vegetables and fruits to choose from in winter.

But she is now in ancient times.

In winter when there are no vegetable greenhouses, how to prepare food in advance is indeed a task.

Just after Si Shi, Hua Yonghe came back.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he shrugged his nose and said, "It smells so good. Do you want to eat meat today?"

Mrs. Qin came out happily and whispered, "Go and wash your hands!"

"Standing at the door and talking so loudly, are you afraid that others will hear you?"

Hua Yonghe smiled and went to wash his hands.

The brunch cooked by Qin was very sumptuous.

One is to entertain guests.

Secondly, my man worked hard digging roads outside and needed to eat something good.

The pheasant was cooked to a pulp, with home-dried mushrooms added to it, and the soup and meat were all in a large basin.

In addition, I mixed three refreshing side dishes, a pot of old pumpkin rice porridge, and a pot of wheat noodles mixed with sorghum noodles.

The two families still sat on the kang to eat.

While eating, Hua Yonghe talked about the process of clearing the road.

"That old elm tree has been completely dead for a long time. Last year I said it should be dug out."

"It's a pity that it collapsed on its own before we had time to take care of it, and it caused such a big trouble."

"But fortunately, the tree has been moved."

"As long as we clear away the snow and dirt on the road, it will be fine."

Li Yuanzhi said, "I will also go to help in the afternoon. There is strength in numbers."

"Okay!" Hua Yonghe agreed with a smile, "Eat more! Once you are full, you can work hard in the afternoon!"

In the afternoon, men were out clearing roads.

Children play in the snow outside in the yard.

Qin makes shoe soles at home.

Jiang Xiaohua really didn't know anything about this kind of female celebrity job, so she made an excuse to go out.

Occasionally I would meet women going out on the road, and they would all greet Jiang Xiaohua warmly and friendly.

Very few outsiders live in Hualin Village.

So in just one night, everyone in the village knew that Hua Yong's family was living in a family of six.

Moreover, this family was also the benefactor who helped the Huayong family put out the fire.

Jiang Xiaohua almost reached the entrance of the village, and there was no one around.

She looked around to make sure no one would see her, then turned around and entered the wasteland beside the village.

Although Hua Yonghe and Qin were kind enough to take her in, Jiang Xiaohua was embarrassed to eat for free at someone else's house.

After all, her family has six mouths, big and small, and the three male dolls are very good at eating.

A meal can also be said to be a reward for helping put out the fire.

It is unreasonable to eat for two or three days in a row.

Although this forest is close to a village, anything edible that grows in the wild must have been picked off long ago.

But Jiang Xiaohua had other ideas.

She whistled and waited for a moment, when Oolong came running over with four paws on the snow.

Jiang Xiaohua said, "There is a small river near here. You should know where it is. Take me there."

Wulong glanced at Jiang Xiaohua, changed direction, and walked deeper into the forest.

Jiang Xiaohua followed without hesitation, she believed in Oolong.
