Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

In May, the weather is clear and the air is crisp, but the countryside is bustling with activity.

The adults had to go to the fields to weed. The corn fields, wheat fields, and rice fields were all covered with weeds. There were not many pesticides at that time, so the weeds had to be pulled out manually.

Zhang Xiuhua worked as a scorer, supervising members in the fields.

Li Jianxin is also a scorer, and he is asking Zhang Xiuhua how to engage in speculation.

Many rural people have never bought anything on the black market, so it is not surprising that Li Jianxin didn't know about it.

Zhang Xiuhua told him what she knew, and Li Jianxin immediately said that he would go to the black market tomorrow to learn some skills.

"We may have to live with my father-in-law's family in Shanghai. I heard that housing is very tight there."

"What about Brother Anrou and his family?" Zhang Xiuhua asked.

"They have been allocated welfare housing. I heard that a family of three only lives in a small house of 40 square meters, which is also very crowded." Li Jianxin sighed.

Standing there was boring, so Zhang Xiuhua made small talk with him, "Which of your two children is smarter? She always heard people say that the eldest child is stupid and the second child is smart. This is the case in our family."

Although Baolin is cheerful and Jilin is slow, Jilin is smarter than Baolin. This smartness is purely in terms of IQ. However, in terms of comprehensive ability, Baolin is better. After all, Baolin is diligent and loves to laugh. Adults like this kind of personality.

Li Jianxin smiled. "In our family, it's the opposite. Xiangxiang is very smart, while Ruirui is too honest, so Xiangxiang always plays him around. Later, the child learned his lesson. Whenever his brother has something, he must have it too. This way, he won't suffer any loss."

Zhang Xiuhua laughed, "This is the experience I gained from being wronged so many times."

The two were chatting animatedly, but the two children left at home by Zhang Xiuhua were having a great time.

Jilin is already seven years old this year, and Zhang Xiuhua plans to send him to primary school in the second half of the year. The child has always been lazy and doesn't like to move, lying in the yard to bask in the sun.

Zhuzhu was sitting at the door, and Li Jianxin's two twin boys, Xiangxiang and Ruirui, came to play with her.

Rural children would run around the village as soon as they could walk. Now that they have to go to work, the adults can’t keep an eye on them all the time. These two children are now two years and eight months old, and they stroll around the village almost every day.

The two men were wearing exactly the same clothes, and one of them was spinning a rattle in his hand.

Zhuzhu is four years old. There are few people of her age in the village, so she often plays with these two children.

Zhuzhu was holding the sandbag made for her by Zhang Xiuhua, which was filled with soybeans, and she invited them to play hopscotch together.

There was a house marked out in the open space at the door, and three children were having a lot of fun playing there.

After playing for a while, Xiangxiang felt bored and ran to Jilin to lie down and bask in the sun.

Ruirui and Zhuzhu continued to play. When they were tired, they went to pick wild flowers together and put them in the basket, which was beautiful.

Zhuzhu is older, and she will explain to Ruirui which flowers can be fed to rabbits.

In the past two years, the children have raised a lot of rabbits. At first, Baolin and Yaoyao raised them, and later Youcai and Jilin joined in. Later, Youcai went to junior high school and had no time, so Zhuzhu took Youcai's place.

Zhuzhu didn't dare to go far, so she just picked a few flowers along the ridge of the field near her home.

The two little guys picked a basket of apples in no time. The basket was very small, only as big as a bowl. It was a toy made by Zhang Xiuhua to entertain the children. It could only hold two apples.

After picking the flowers, Zhuzhu took Ruirui’s hand and went home.

Jilin and Xiangxiang were not at home, and no one knew where they had gone. Zhuzhu put the small flowers in the main room and put them in the pot.

Rarity was sitting at the door waiting for her.

Just then, an old lady stood at the door and spoke to Ruirui, "Little boy, where are your parents?"

Ruirui looked up at her and said, "Go down to the ground."

He was shaking the sandbag in his hand. Grandma held Ruirui's hand and said, "Do you want to eat delicious food? Grandma has milk candy, egg cake, rice flower sticks, golden fruit, fried fish..."

Every time she mentioned a food, Ruirui would drool and almost drool.

The old lady led the way forward, and Ruirui did not struggle but followed obediently.

The two walked about ten meters away, and Ruirui suddenly thought of her brother, "Grandma, your house has so many delicious foods, can I ask my brother to go with us?!"

The old lady smiled kindly, "Your brother is too old. If he goes there, he will snatch food from you."

"My brother is not very old. My dad said he only came out five minutes earlier than me." Ruirui said stubbornly. If he ate the delicious food and his brother didn't, he would definitely do something bad secretly. He couldn't give his brother a chance to cheat him.

When the old lady heard that it was the twin brother, her eyes lit up surprisingly, "That's great! Where is your brother?"

Ruirui tilted her head and thought for a long time, "At home!"

I just came back and didn’t see him. He must have gone home.

The old lady did not hesitate, she immediately let go of Ruirui's hand, hid behind the haystack, and watched Ruirui go home. Why was she so brave? Because when she first came, she saw many members working in the fields. Those people were far away, and it was only nine o'clock in the morning, so it was still early for lunch.

Ruirui returned home and entered the main room first, calling out his brother's name. He looked left and right but couldn't find anyone. Just as he was wondering, Miao Xiaohua came out of the bathroom, "Ruirui? What are you running around for?"

How could Miao Xiaohua let a child who was less than three years old walk around the yard without worry? While she was washing clothes, the two children disappeared. She was angry and started to beat the two children with a stick. If they were not beaten for a day, they would dare to climb up the roof and tear off the tiles!

Ruirui was scared when he saw the stick and hid behind him. He rolled his eyes and pointed outside, "Grandma, there's a human trafficker outside!"

When Miao Xiaohua heard this, he immediately grabbed his weapon and chased after him.

The old lady was hiding behind a haystack. When she saw Miao Xiaohua coming out with a stick, she was so scared that she ran away.

Who is Miao Xiaohua? How could she let the human traffickers get away? She yelled, "Catch the human traffickers!"

Hearing the noise, the elderly people left behind in each household immediately rushed out of the yard. The fastest runner was Liu Shujun, who was in poor health and was doing housework at home. When she heard that there were human traffickers, she jumped out immediately.

Several old ladies worked together to hold down the trafficker. Miao Xiaohua caught up and asked Ruirui behind him, "Ruirui, is this the person?"

Ruirui felt a little guilty, "Yes!"

A few old ladies beat up the old lady. Rural people would not call the police when they catch human traffickers, but beat them up first to vent their anger. Miao Xiaohua only started to interrogate the traffickers after they were injured.

This old lady came from the south. She heard that life in the Northeast was good, so she took the risk to come here to take care of the children. It was her first time here and she was unfamiliar with the place. She didn't expect to be arrested the first time.

With such a big thing happening, naturally someone would go and inform the captain.

Then Li Jianxin also found out. He immediately ran home and saw that Ruirui was safe and sound. He then asked Miao Xiaohua, "Where is Xiangxiang?"

Miao Xiaohua asked Ruirui, "Where is your brother?"

Rarity scratched her head, "I don't know."

So Li Jianxin began to look for Xiangxiang all over the village.
