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

Zhang Xiuhua changed the pants with pockets for her three children and also changed a pair for herself.

Although stealing is a bit shameful, she would rather make a mistake than go hungry.

She took her children to the fields and met her neighbor Aunt Wang on the way. She realized that everyone was wearing clothes with pockets. She didn't think much about it before, just thinking that everyone liked this style. Who could have thought that there was something else going on?

Seeing Zhang Xiuhua's gaze fall on her, Aunt Wang smiled knowingly.

Next, the children were responsible for holding the bean stalks and secretly shelling the beans, while Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo were responsible for cutting the bean stalks.

When we got home, everyone's pockets were full, about two or three pounds in total.

"We have finished harvesting soybeans today. We will pick peanuts tomorrow." Li Jianguo urged the children to go to bed quickly.

Li Youcai said happily, "Then we won't go to pick soybeans. I'll go and earn work points too."

Jidong looked at him in surprise, "How can you earn more work points than picking beans?"

Li Youcai had a look on his face that said "you are stupid", "You can't pick beans every day. But picking peanuts is the only day we can eat peanuts to our heart's content."

Jidong was confused, "We're eating right here on the ground?"

"Yes. Bring some water, wash them, and eat them like that. No one will care." Li Youcai drooled when he thought of the delicious peanuts.

Peanuts have low yields and high prices, so if they are grown at home, they will only be sold for other things and rarely eaten by themselves. He was unwilling to miss such a rare opportunity.

Jidong was also moved when he heard it, and looked at Zhang Xiuhua eagerly.

Zhang Xiuhua readily agreed, "Okay. Let's pick peanuts together tomorrow."

Li Jianguo urged them to wash up quickly, and went to his eldest brother's house to bring Zhuzhu back. "I want to talk to mom about something. You guys go to bed first."

Zhang Xiuhua had just returned and was busy with farm work. She hadn't met her mother-in-law yet, so she felt a little impolite. "I'll go with you."

Li Jianguo thought about it and nodded in agreement. He told Youcai to take good care of his younger brothers and sisters, locked the courtyard door, and walked forward with Zhang Xiuhua, one step deep and one step shallow.

Li Jianguo's elder brother is named Li Jiandang, and his elder sister-in-law is named Xu Chunying, who gave birth to two sons and one daughter. Li Jianguo's mother Liu Shujun lives with her eldest son.

Li Jiandang is the captain of their second team and has some power.

The two walked for a few minutes and arrived at the place. They were also washing up. Hearing the noise, Li Jiandang's eldest son Hongwu came to open the door and was surprised to see his uncle coming back.

The children were all around him. Li Jianguo gave each of them a few pieces of rock candy that he had brought, making them so happy that they were at a loss.

The adults in the room heard the noise and looked over here.

Li Jianguo walked into the main room, and Xu Chunying and Li Jiandang hurriedly called him in. Liu Shujun heard the noise in the room and came out holding Zhuzhu.

Li Jianguo stepped forward, took the child and called out "Mom".

Liu Shujun looked at her second son carefully. He was no different from last year, except that he was darker.

With a smile on her face, she asked him to sit down, and then turned her gaze to Zhang Xiuhua.

Li Jianguo hurriedly introduced them, "This is my new wife, Zhang Xiuhua. She is from Jiangxi Province and has three children like me."

Liu Shujun was stunned. "Six children?"

Xu Chunying clapped her hands and laughed, "As for children, raising one is the same, and driving away two is the same. What does it matter if there is one more or one less? More children make life more lively."

Li Jiandang quickly looked away and followed suit, "It's really good."

Liu Shujun glanced at Zhang Xiuhua's face but didn't say anything.

Zhang Xiuhua gave each of the three children a red apple. She was too poor before and had no tickets, so she didn't bring anything to eat except grain. She could only take three apples from the space as a gift.

The three children opened their mouths in surprise, "Such a big apple?"

Actually, this apple is not big at all. But Gala apples in Northeast China are as small as ping-pong balls, so this fist-sized apple looks very big.

Apples are so expensive at this time. Li Jiandang rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "Too expensive. You can keep them for yourselves."

Zhang Xiuhua waved her hand and said, "This is a gift for the children. Apples are grown in abundance in our area. I thought the children might not have seen them before, so I gave them some to try."

It’s not that apples are not grown in Heilongjiang Province, but that they are not grown in Lijiatun. At that time, farmers could not travel around without a letter of introduction. The farthest the children had traveled was to the commune, and they had never even been to the county town.

Since she said so, it’s hard for us to refuse.

Li Jianguo didn't want to talk any more because he had to go to work tomorrow. He just hugged Zhuzhu and said goodbye to them.

Zhuzhu was sleeping soundly in his arms and didn't even notice that someone had changed.

Zhang Xiuhua took a look and said, "This child is really pretty."

Yaoyao is also pretty, but she is probably too tanned and too thin, which makes her less cute. Zhuzhu is only one year old and can't walk yet. She often stays indoors. She has milky white skin, long eyelashes, and a little baby fat. She is cute and adorable.

Zhang Xiuhua liked it more and more. She thought that she probably had a little hat for her step-owner's child in her own space, so she would give it to her. It would definitely be cuter.

The light was gone, Zhang Xiuhua could only look away and concentrate on walking. Li Jianguo made small talk, "The apples you just gave to the children should be considered as the apples for Youcai and the other two. Don't share them."

He knew how valuable apples were. Jiang Province was indeed the origin of apples, but there were no apple trees in Liushui Village. She probably had to trade a lot of grain for these apples. It was embarrassing to take advantage of her for nothing.

Zhang Xiuhua really didn't have six apples. Her villa was in the south, where the temperature was high. Who would buy so many apples to store at home? She only bought a few each time, but she couldn't agree with his opinion, "We have to make clear the big things because we are worried that they will have conflicts over money after they grow up and start their own families. We still have to treat them equally in terms of food. Otherwise, if only Jidong and the other three children eat, they will be alienated and it will not be conducive to their relationship."

Li Jianguo was a little surprised that she was so open-minded, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense. "Okay. I'll do as you say."

When we got home, the children had already washed up and were all asleep in bed.

Zhang Xiuhua covered them with quilts and went to the kitchen.

Li Jianguo had already boiled some water. He scooped some out, added some cold water, brushed his teeth, and washed his face, hands, and feet. This order couldn't be wrong.

The family had to use firewood sparingly, otherwise they might have nothing to keep warm in winter.

After washing up, Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo lay side by side on the bed.

This was the first time they slept in the same bed. They had been sleeping alone for many years. Zhang Xiuhua was not used to it. Her breathing became tight and her body was stiff. Could he be thinking about doing that?

He was a hot-blooded man, and it was normal for him to want to have sex after his wife had been gone for more than a year. But she was really tired. She could hardly lift her arms. Should she refuse? But when they got married, the conditions they proposed included this one. She had no reason to stop him.

When she was daydreaming, she heard a snoring sound, and her tense nerves broke immediately. She couldn't help but laugh at herself. She was tired, and of course he was tired too. What a mess of thoughts.

She slapped her head and couldn't fall asleep again because she thought about the things in the space.

She silently recited the word "space" in her mind, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the space.

She was just about to take stock of the things she could take out, when she suddenly froze. Huh? Something was wrong. She had clearly only bought five apples before, and gave away three, so why were there five left?

She went forward and counted, and sure enough, there was nothing wrong.

I looked at the cherries on the plate again. She had eaten half of the plate in the afternoon, and now she had eaten some more, filling the whole plate.

This……

Could it be possible that the things in her space could be changed back?

Zhang Xiuhua was so happy that she couldn't help but somersault several times in the space, but unfortunately it didn't work.

She grinned, looked around in the room, picked up an apple and started to eat it. She didn't stop smiling until she found her passbook in the study.

This money was the savings she had accumulated through half her life of frugality, and it was reserved for her retirement. She didn't spend a penny and it's all gone.

Ah! If she had known this would happen, she should have used all the money to buy some delicious food and store it at home. She also didn't want to watch so much money go by and never be able to spend it.

She opened the passbook sadly, looked at the strings of numbers on it, and was stunned again.

Huh? Why is the money in her passbook wrong?

She remembered that her savings account had a lump sum of 122 million yuan, how come it had changed... She counted, ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions. Her money had changed into... What did the missing mean?

Just as she was puzzled, she saw the number decrease again, this time by 8.

Zhang Xiuhua thought for a long time, until she saw that the number of apples had become five again, she finally realized that the money deducted represented the cherries and apples she ate.

In other words, the reason why the cherries and apples changed back was because the space assumed that she used the money in the passbook to pay. Once the money in the passbook was deducted, the space would not change it back again!

This space really doesn't suffer at all.
