"By the way, big sister, it's time to harvest the cabbages in the field. I think the situation is good. Why don't we pick some and send them to your grandma and your mother where they work."

"Okay, I'll take Jing and Xin to pick them later. Grandpa, you come with the basket, and Dad will stay at home with Yu."

Seeing her arranging household affairs in an orderly manner, Pan Xiaofu felt relieved that Yi Jie'er could also take charge of things on her own.

Ma Taozhi couldn't stay at home, but the sun was too strong today, so he didn't go up the mountain.

After laying the child on the bed, he took up the basket and began to embroider.

Walking on the road, there are really a lot of people farming. The hardworking ones have a lot of harvests, while as for the lazy people, they can only watch with envy.

Song Yu rolled over on the bed, amusing himself.

Ma Taozhi's face was filled with a happy smile. He had used all his plans in this life on Song Zhining. Fortunately, it was all worth it.

He also has his own social circle in Luoshan Village. The one with whom he has the best relationship is Song Lan's father. However, he visits him less often after he fell ill, for fear of passing the disease on to Yu Jie'er.

It took half an hour to climb the mountain. Looking at the result of his hard work, Song Yi showed a silly smile on his face. Song Xin rolled his eyes, and then followed Song Jing down the vegetable garden.

The three of them worked quite fast. By the time Pan Xiaofu came over with three baskets, they had almost finished their work.

"Master, just pack it up. I'll carry it if it's heavy. I'll go to town tomorrow to take it to mother and the milk."

"Okay! By the way, there is still some meat at home. Your father made it into meat sauce. Your grandma doesn't like it, but your mother does. You can bring a can to your mother."

"Master, I understand."

"I want to go to town, too. Big sister, take me there!"

Song Xin's eyes moved very quickly, and no one knew what was in his mind.

"That won't do. There are beggars in town. You can't go with me. Wait until I'm on vacation and ask me to take you there. I don't dare."

Song Xin curled her lips, then started pulling out the weeds in the field next to her with an unhappy look on her face.

Song Jing saw that he was unhappy, and thinking that there were some scraps of cloth in the house, he decided to make a sandbag for Song Xin to make him happy.

"Don't be unhappy, second brother will make a sandbag for you."

"Really?"

"Ok!"

"Thank you, second brother. I like you the most."

Then he jumped up and hugged Song Jing tightly. Pan Xiaofu shook his head helplessly. This Xin brother's personality was really naughty!

He rolled his eyes at Song Yi, who scratched the back of his head. Why was Xin so unhappy again?

If you can’t figure it out, just stop thinking about it. Seeing that it is getting dark, the four of them quickly prepare to go down the mountain.

"Fudan, let's go!"

Song Xin shouted loudly.

“Ah…Woof woof woof…”

Fudan, who was almost exposed, reacted promptly and adjusted his cry. He didn't want Song Yu to cut off his food supply.

As soon as I arrived at the village entrance, I saw Song Jiaojiao and her grandfather talking to someone.

"Oh! It seems your Jiaojiao is not that lucky! Song Shan's family makes a living by selling tofu, they make a lot of money!"

"That's right, you missed a good in-law."

A group of people gathered under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village and said sarcastic words. Not only did Song Jiaojiao look unhappy, she also felt that she had lost all her face.

Pan Xiaofu didn't want to talk to those men, so he lowered his head and pulled Song Xin to leave.

The gossipy soul in Song Xin's heart was burning, and he really wanted to listen to what those guys said.

"Sister Yi."

This delicate voice almost gave Song Yi goosebumps. He knew who it belonged to without thinking. Who else but Song Jiaojiao could disgust their family?

"Jiaojiao, what's the matter? Tell me what's the matter. It might not be convenient for a girl like Yijie to come here."

Pan Xiaofu showed a decent smile on his face, and his words were meant to distance himself from the relationship between Song Yi and him.

"I...I'm breaking off the engagement."

Song Yi:……???

"What does your breaking off the engagement have to do with me? It's inexplicable. We still have to go home. My father is alone at home, and we are worried."

Before Pan Xiaofu could reply, Song Yi's harsh words left Song Jiaojiao speechless.

"Let's go!"

Pan Xiaofu said in a low voice.

The four people left again in a low-key manner, and the vegetables in the basket were covered tightly by the dry grass.

"Let's go! The show is over. My husband is coming back. It's getting dark. I have to go back and cook."

"Me too."

"Let's go, disperse. My boss will be back soon."

The originally bustling village entrance became quiet.

Song Jiaojiao's grandfather stood there with an embarrassed look on his face. Ever since Song Huo became addicted to gambling, he had no one to associate with.

They were afraid that Song Huo would come to them to borrow money, and their family always liked to take advantage of anything and acted as if it was their right.

"Let's go! Let's go home. We are running low on food recently. Have you found any work in town?"

"Not yet...not yet."

It was hard to find him like this, he couldn't do embroidery well, and he couldn't wash clothes cleanly. He had to go to other people's homes to do some work and then secretly bring some home.

When he uses other people's soap nuts to wash clothes, he does it without asking any questions and just uses them as if it's natural. It would be strange if others would use his soap nuts given his behavior.

"If you really can't find a job, go work in the fields! There are families with many farmlands and they are hiring laborers. They pay ten copper coins a day, and they provide food. The family can also save some food for your sister."

"Yes, I understand, Grandpa."

There's no way, there are guys like him. Guys from poorer families than him treat girls like daughters, and they'll be fine once they get married.

As soon as Song Xin got home, he ran into the house to see his sister. His chubby white sister was simply the source of his happiness.

"Dad, I've picked the vegetables. Go take a look. I'll take my sister with me."

"Okay then, watch her carefully and make sure she doesn't fall off the bed."

"Okay, I understand. Go and help me fold the vegetables!"

As soon as Ma Taozhi entered the kitchen, he saw the lush green vegetables and a smile appeared on his face.

"Sister Yi'er's craftsmanship is really good."

"Thank you for the compliment, Dad."

As soon as Song Yi entered the door, she heard her father's praise. Her face turned red and she seemed a little shy.

"Why are you here? Where's Sister Yu?"

Pan Xiaofu asked hurriedly.

"She's rolling on the bed! Brother Xin, watch her, she's fine."

"Oh! That's good. Brother Xin is very attentive to his sister."

The whole family looked at each other and laughed.

Song Jing was cooking dinner. He was very skilled and cooked the whole meal very quickly and neatly. He also fried a large plate of Chinese cabbage with a little lard.

After Song Yi picked up the chopsticks, everyone in the family, except Song Yu who was drinking milk, started eating with chopsticks.

After dinner, Pan Xiaofu said.

"Taozhi, put the meat sauce you made into the basket of vegetables for Zhining later. She loves it."

"I know dad."

After he had cleaned up everything, he came to feed Song Yu milk. Song Yu was also hungry after a day of exercise, so he drank it in big gulps.
