Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Li Dali got up early in the morning and went straight to his mother's place without disturbing his family.

The luggage on the cart was still waiting for him to unload, and most importantly, after he was done, he had to hurry to the city to pick up Xiaoxi.

Qian, who had not slept well the night before, wanted to settle the score with her husband after waking up, but she came up empty-handed.

She was so angry that she went back to her room to catch up on her sleep.

When Daniu saw this, he thought he would go hungry, so he went to the kitchen and heated up two sweet potatoes for his meal.

He is too young to cook any other food.

The little guy was chewing a dry sweet potato, looking hopeless.

Alas, when gods fight, the little devils suffer. When will her mother's anger subside?

It was already sunset when Li Dali brought Xiaoxi back from the city.

Da Niu used the same trick from yesterday again and asked his father to sleep with him at night.

Qian didn't intend to pay any attention to this heartless person, so she didn't object.

……

Zhao was used to getting up early. Although she was very tired these two days, the work and rest habits she had developed over the years still made her wake up at dawn.

In order not to disturb her daughter's family's rest, she carefully went out of the house and planned to make breakfast first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw Zhou Xiaoxi cooking.

The little girl was wearing a half-worn blue cloth dress. Her jet-black hair was tied behind her with a dark green cloth strip. Her skin was the common wheat color in the village.

Putting aside her family's preference, Zhao had to admit that her granddaughter's appearance was only average.

But Zhao, who was standing at the door watching, felt inexplicably peaceful in her heart.

The window on the side of the kitchen faces east, and the morning sun shines just right on the little girl. She is like a budding flower, full of vitality and energy.

Zhao felt that good days were definitely ahead, and the children were the hope of this family.

Zhou Xiaoxi was concentrating on making a fire, and when he turned around he saw his grandmother.

She immediately smiled widely and called out "Grandma" sweetly.

Staying in the body of a twelve-year-old, Zhou Xiaoxi seems to be getting more and more accustomed to being a child.

I used to blush when I tried to act younger, but now I can act coquettishly and cutely without any guilt.

After coming to her senses, Zhao immediately became efficient and neat again, and started to make breakfast with her granddaughter with swift hands and feet.

Zhou Jun and Li had also stood up. Li was cleaning the room, while Zhou Jun still insisted on exercising.

Zhao's home hasn't been so lively for a long time.

Zhao knew very well that her daughter-in-law didn't like dealing with her.

Therefore, unless there was something going on, Zhao rarely went to her son's house. The eldest grandson had been sickly since childhood, and Qian kept a close eye on him, so the child rarely came to play with her.

In order to liven up the atmosphere at the dinner table, Zhou Xiaoxi tried his best to come up with witty remarks.

The family had a happy breakfast with laughter.

Zhao felt the happiness of family life for the first time in a long time.

But Old Man Zhou in Huaihua Village was so angry that his head hurt.

……

It is already autumn and the weather is gradually getting cooler. Old man Zhou had a rare good sleep last night.

I planned to have breakfast at my parents' house, and then go to the back mountain to pick some mugwort and wild ginger to take home and do some moxibustion on myself.

Who would have thought that before they finished their meal, the eldest son's wife told him that she wanted to raise a few piglets in the third son's yard!

"That house was given to me by the third son as a gift to me. I haven't even seen it yet, but you're already coveting it? Do you still have me as your elder in your eyes?"

Niu is not afraid of her father-in-law.

He has no ability and no money. If it weren't for the pressure of filial piety, who would care about him?

The elders of other families in the village are over 70 years old and still help with chores at home within their ability.

My father-in-law, on the other hand, has become a hands-off uncle in his fifties. Not only does he come to his son's house to eat and drink all day long, he also never does any work in the fields.

He is the only one like him in the whole Huaihua Village, and people nickname him "Lazy Zhou".

Niu felt ashamed just thinking about it!

"Father, look at what you said. I just want to borrow the yard, not occupy it. Otherwise, it would be a waste if it's idle! When we raise pigs at home, you can also eat meat during festivals. This is a great thing!"

Old Man Zhou would not be fooled by Niu's few words.

"This is a nice house. If you raise pigs, it will be ruined soon. Don't think I will believe your nonsense!"

This is not in the city, the vacant house can be rented out to earn some rent.

It is absolutely necessary to have no house in the countryside, but having one more is of no use at all.

Niu didn't think there was anything wrong with using the house. Zhou Fu, who was sitting nearby smoking a pipe, also supported Niu's decision.

This was a rare harmonious relationship between the couple in the past two months. Niu couldn't help but speak with more confidence.

"Father-in-law, do you think the Third Brother's house can be kept intact without me using it? Let alone the future, just go and take a look now. The house is already beginning to fall into disrepair."

Old man Zhou was full of questions.

How can you say that? Am I getting old and confused? Didn’t the third brother just leave yesterday?

Suddenly the egg in his mouth no longer tasted good, so he stuffed it into his mouth carelessly, wiped his body with his hands, and walked towards Zhou Jun’s house.

"Father, please walk slower, don't choke!"

Niu pretended to be anxious and shouted from behind. She ran a short distance and then stopped. She rolled her eyes and went back to the main room to continue eating.

Zhou Fu looked up at his wife and couldn't help but remind her:

"Don't be so proud so soon. My second brother and his wife have never been the type to suffer any loss. How could they watch us raise pigs at the third brother's house?"

Niu's face immediately fell, and she really wanted to find a way to get the second son's family to leave Huaihua Village as well, so that no one would snatch the benefits from their family.

But this can only be thought about in dreams, it is not that easy!

"Then what should we do? The second brother's family can't make things too ugly, after all, we are a family. As long as Dad agrees, they can't stop us."

"Then why are you still standing here? Hurry up and bring a bowl of water to our father. Do you really want to choke him to death?"

Zhou Fu felt his hands itchy again. He glanced at Niu's body, but finally he endured it.

He knew that it was wrong to always beat his wife like this. If she got hurt, he would have no money to treat her.

But when he saw Niu's expression, his fists seemed to be out of control and he wanted to hit her.

When Zhou Fu stared at Niu, the hairs on her body stood up and she couldn't help but tremble.

She was really scared of being beaten. She didn't know when it started, but she felt scared whenever she saw the man in front of her. Even at night when they slept in the same bed, she didn't dare to fall asleep until Zhou Fu fell asleep.

Hearing Zhou Fu's scolding, Niu immediately put down the pancake in her hand, picked up a bowl of hot water and ran quickly to Zhou Jun's house.

I didn't dare to stop even when half of the water had spilled.

Only Old Man Zhou has the key to Zhou Jun's house. As soon as they finished packing yesterday, they sent it to his home.

Old man Zhou, who originally thought that everything was fine, was stunned after opening the door.

He began to understand a little bit how difficult it was for Zhou Jun's family these days. It was clearly their own house, but it had been ruined to the point that even beggars despised it.

How dare these people destroy it!

Old man Zhou didn't feel bad about it before, but now that the house belongs to him, he feels extremely sad.

Unwilling to give up, he looked around the entire house and finally stopped at the kitchen door, staring at the big hole on the stove for a long time without saying a word.

If Zhou Xiaoxi was at the scene right now, even if she had never been to the Old Summer Palace, she could roughly imagine what the Old Summer Palace looked like now.

Well, their family is still short of something new.

Just at this time, Niu came over with half a bowl of water.
