Everyone was busy finishing their meal and going back to work to earn a few more work points, so the party ended quickly.

After Xiao Xiangdong saw off the guests, he saw a look of fatigue on her brows, so he took her back to the room.

Meng Xiaoman wanted to lie down for a while, but was worried that she would not sleep well during the day, so she sat on the bed to rest.

"You should sit down for a while. You've been tired for a long time." Meng Xiaoman didn't know the extent of his leg injury or how he was recovering. However, if you think about it, you will know that working with crutches for a long time must be very tiring.

"You sit down, I'm not tired." Xiao Xiangdong had never been alone in a room with a woman, so he was not used to it.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Meng Xiaoman grabbed his lapel and said, "Then sit down for a while, chat with me, and tell me about your family."

As he spoke, he patted the bed next to him.

"Okay." Xiao Xiangdong did not sit next to her, but sat on the bed opposite.

Xiao Xiangdong's grandparents had three sons and three daughters, but the only ones who survived and grew up were two sons and one daughter. Xiao Xiangdong's father Xiao Shengli is the eldest, his uncle Xiao Guangrong is the second eldest, and there is an aunt named Xiao Meili who is the youngest.

Brothers Xiao Shengli and Xiao Guangrong are both farming in the countryside, while Xiao Meili married in the county town and is the most promising of the three siblings. The relationship between the two Xiao brothers is okay, but their relationship with their sister is not very close. Since Xiao Xiangdong's grandparents passed away two years ago, aunt Xiao Meili rarely comes back.

Xiao Shengli has four sons and one daughter. The eldest, Xiao Xiangnan, is 30 years old this year. He is married to Liu Zhier from Shangou Brigade and has two daughters and one son. The second child, Xiao Xiangbei, is 28 this year. He married a cousin of Zhou Aimei's natal family, named Zhou Xinghua, and gave birth to two sons.

Xiao Xiangdong also has a younger brother, Xiao Xiangxi, who is 20 years old this year. Some time ago, he asked his aunt Xiao Meili to find him a temporary worker in a machinery factory.

I just started working and it’s hard to ask for leave, so I didn’t come back today.

There is also a younger sister, Xiao Xixi, who is eighteen years old. Father Xiao and mother Xiao gave birth to four sons before they got a daughter, whom they loved very much.

Xiao Xiangdong had just finished talking about his family's population, but before he could talk about his uncle's family, Meng Xiaoman heard Zhou Aimei calling him in the courtyard.

Meng Xiaoman responded and walked out. Xiao Xiangdong also stood up with a cane, "I'm with you.".

In the courtyard, Zhou Aimei, holding an apron and loofah, walked up to Meng Xiaoman, looked at her brand new clothes, and said:

"That third child's family, originally, on the first day of marriage, it's hard for a mother-in-law to let you work. But, you also know that we farmers are hard-working people. If we don't work for one day, we will starve to death. No, As soon as the bowl was put down, the third child's father, brother and sister-in-law went to work. As for you, you were from the city before, but as the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. You followed the third child, You have to get used to living here from now on. Today, I'm hosting a banquet for you, so I borrowed a lot of dishes from other people's houses. I have to wash them quickly and send them to them. I have to cut the grass and feed the chickens, and I also have to look after the chickens. My child is too busy at all. So, after much deliberation, I still have to trouble you. You are a filial child, can you help me with this?"

It stands to reason that the bride does not have to do any work on the first day after entering the house.

Xiao Xiangdong was about to say, "Mother...", but was stopped by Meng Xiaoman, "Mother, you see what you said, this dinner was originally held for the two of us, and we should wash the dishes. It's just that , Mom, I’ve never done any housework before, and I didn’t do it well. If I mess up, don’t be angry.”

Seeing Meng Xiaoman agreeing, Zhou Aimei looked satisfied, "Look what you said, you help mother with work, it's too late for mother to be happy, how can she be angry?"

"Then I'm relieved. But, mother, I just came here. Everyone in our village knows each other, and I don't know where their homes are. Xiangdong's legs are not good. So, after I finish washing, can you Could you please go and deliver it, mother?"

"No problem, I'll deliver it to you when mom comes back from cutting the grass."

With that said, he handed Meng Xiaoman the apron and dishwashing loofah, and also told her to change into old clothes and wash them again to avoid getting the new clothes oily.

After saying that, he took the sickle and carried the basket and went out.

"You go and have a rest, I'll wash it." Xiao Xiangdong said, taking the things in Meng Xiaoman's hand.

"I'll wash it with you. Hurry up, both of you."

A well was drilled in the Xiao family's yard, so there was no need to go to the well in the village to get water, which was much more convenient.

There is basically nothing left on the banquet noodles, and there is not much oil or water. Just soak it in soapy water and rinse it with cold water a few times.

Xiao Xiangdong worked quickly and basically took over all the dishes. Meng Xiaoman only had to tell whose family it belonged to.

The bottom of the bowl is marked.

However, my hands slipped when I was dividing, and I "accidentally" dropped several of them.

Looking at the debris on the ground, Meng Xiaoman frowned, "What should I do? Will Mom scold me when she comes back?"

Xiao Xiangdong turned his back to her and did not see how she threw the bowls. However, one or two of them were accidentally thrown. When four of them were dropped, Xiao Xiangdong understood a little: This little daughter-in-law used this way to express her love for her. Damn dissatisfied.

However, he didn't want to stop her. He was originally worried that his daughter-in-law would be bullied if she was too good, but now he was relieved. This was not a master who would suffer easily.

He even had some evil expectations of what his mother would do when she found out.

"It doesn't matter. It's your first time working and you've already done a good job. Mom won't scold you." Xiao Xiangdong comforted her, "By the way, clean up the debris and be careful of punctures. I'll take care of the rest. That’s it.”

Xiao Xiangdong was worried that if she dropped a few more, some families in the village might not have a bowl to eat.

Not long after the dishes were washed, Zhou Aimei came back carrying half a basket of grass.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhou Aimei saw the clean and tidy dishes, and she felt silently proud in her heart: What's so great about an educated youth from the city that she is not allowed to listen to her? She has been treated with salt for so many years, but she still can't control a little girl like her?

Hearing the news of Zhou Aimei's return, Meng Xiaoman smiled guiltily at Xiao Xiangdong, with a bit of pleading in her eyes, and whispered: "Well, I'm afraid that my mother will scold me, can you not tell her first that I smashed the dishes? What’s the matter?”

Xiao Xiangdong has been a soldier for many years, has repeatedly made military exploits, and completed many major missions. This is not only due to his outstanding force value, but also to his flexible and intelligent mind. He immediately knew his little wife's intention.

He didn't care much about it, but he didn't want his family to bully his little wife.

Xiao Xiangdong nodded and said "OK".

So, Zhou Aimei took the dishes away with a smile, and finally returned home angrily.
