As the corn stalks were pulled out of the house one by one, Xu Chunying's face became visibly ugly. What the hell was going on? Her sister-in-law's children threw firecrackers, and her family had to collect firewood. It was not easy for rural people to collect firewood. In the middle of winter, they could not afford to heat the kang, so they could only stay in the kitchen to keep warm.

Seeing this, Li Fengjiao took out five yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into her sister-in-law's pocket, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, Weiguo is too naughty, this money is for you."

Xu Chunying was polite again and refused to accept it. The two pushed and shoved each other, and Zhang Xiuhua didn't like this custom very much, so she went forward and took the money directly and stuffed it into Xu Chunying's pocket, "Just take it. Don't make your sister-in-law feel bad."

The two of them stared at her blankly, and then no one was polite anymore.

Li Jiandang was carrying firewood, and the other children were helping him. Although no one was scolded, the look in the adults' eyes was too scary.

The talented few were not too timid, because Zhang Xiuhua's way of punishing people was not to beat them, but to make them greedy to death.

It wasn't them who burned the corn stalks, so they had no psychological burden.

After Li Jiandang had transported all the firewood, he was about to go back when he saw many villagers running towards a place.

Youcai ran over, followed by Baolin, and Jidong didn't want to go to his uncle's house, so he also ran after him. Then a bunch of kids followed him.

Li Jiandang dragged the cart back alone. Li Fengjiao saw that the children did not come with him. She was worried that they would cause trouble again. She would not have the money to compensate them, so she asked anxiously, "Brother, where are the children?"

"I went to watch the fun!" Li Jiandang didn't know his sister had paid yet, so he smiled at her and said, "There is no child who isn't naughty. You don't have to worry."

Li Jiandang invited everyone to the main room. Li Fengjiao wanted to take a quilt with her when she left, so she asked him to borrow a rope.

Li Jiandang naturally agreed, so he ran to the kitchen to find a rope.

As soon as it was found, children came running in one after another, and soon the yard was filled.

Youcai's voice was the loudest. He lay at the door of the kitchen, "Aunt Zhang? Aunt Zhang? Uncle Xingye is back. Do you want to see a doctor? Jidong is waiting in line for you over there."

Zhang Xiuhua felt a little cold when she woke up this morning. It should be a cold. There is no need to see a doctor for this disease. She will get better naturally after staying up for a few hours.

Zhang Xiuhua was about to say no, but Xu Chunying dropped the shovel, wiped her hands on her apron, and then took off her apron, "Really?"

Youcai nodded, "Really. A lot of people lined up outside his house."

Xu Chunying immediately called Hongwu and Hongxia, "Hurry up and line up. I'll ask your grandma to see a doctor later. Her health has been bad since winter. Let's see what's wrong."

The two children nodded and walked out of the yard, followed by the other children.

Zhang Xiuhua asked Youcai to tell Jidong not to wait in line, "Come back later to eat. I'm fine."

Youcai responded loudly.

Zhang Xiuhua asked Xu Chunying, "Is Xingye a doctor? Where does he work?"

"Working as a doctor in the provincial capital. He's the most educated person in our village." Xu Chunying's eyes flashed with pride. You know, her sister-in-law is only a high school student, while Li Xingye is a college student, not from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, but a college student who got in by himself.

Zhang Xiuhua exclaimed, "It's not easy for a rural person to become a doctor in the provincial capital."

"Of course. He studied for many years before becoming a doctor. If you feel unwell, go see him. He got married in the provincial capital and only comes back once every few years. You must seize the opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have the chance again."

Zhang Xiuhua really doesn't need it, she just has a cold and it's not serious. There's no need to waste the quota.

Youcai and others ran to the door of Xingye's house. There were already many people queuing there. When Jidong got to the door, Youcai told him that he didn't need to queue anymore. "Aunt Zhang said she's fine. She just has a cold."

Jidong nodded and left the team, and Hongwu stood in Jidong's position.

There were so many people wanting to see the doctor that they waited in line for half an hour but still hadn’t gotten their turn, and it was already time for lunch.

Xu Chunying asked Hongwen to run over and call the children back, planning to come back to see the doctor after dinner.

The children already knew that they were going to prepare something delicious today, so they ran home happily.

The food is served.

Xu Chunying reheated the steamed buns she had made last night. The reason why the meal was cooked so slowly was because there was only one pot at home.

With so many people eating, we have to split into two tables.

There was one table for adults and one table for children. But there were too many children, so Hongwu, Youcai and Hongxia were called to the adults' table.

Because there were too many people, Li Jiandang's family didn't have enough bowls, so Zhang Xiuhua asked Youcai and Jidong to go home and get some bowls, chopsticks and plates.

Li Jiandang's family uses large coarse porcelain bowls, while Zhang Xiuhua's family uses white porcelain bowls with peony flowers on the outside, which is particularly festive.

"Eat quickly! It's cold and it will get cold soon! Don't be polite!" As the host, Xu Chunying called on everyone to eat together.

The food prepared today was quite filling, especially the bowl of pork, cabbage, tofu and vermicelli. Everyone had a bowl, and there was another bowl on top.

The pork is mellow and chewy, but not greasy; the cabbage is fresh and elegant, with a strong aroma; the vermicelli is tender and chewy, melting in the mouth, leaving a delicious taste; the tofu is fried in oil, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and is soft and delicious when you bite it. The best part is that a few chilies are added, which adds a bit of soul to this dish. It not only has a rich taste, but also has a multi-layered taste of salty, sour, sweet, spicy, fragrant, and fresh. The aroma hits your nose directly, which makes you hungry.

Beads of sweat appeared on the children's foreheads as they ate, but they were reluctant to put down their chopsticks.

"Delicious! So delicious!" Qiaoling couldn't stop eating.

By the time we finished our meal, everyone was hungry.

Adults and children all lined up outside Li Xingye's house. Compared with the past, the number of people increased instead of decreased.

At this moment, a farce was taking place at Li Jianxin's house next door, and a few talented children joined in the fun.

Youcai took a peek at the door and found that it was Miao Xiaohua knocking on her son's door, asking him to take his wife to the next door to see Li Xingye for a medical check-up.

Li Jianxin was eating roasted sweet potatoes in the main room. When he heard about the doctor, he was a little confused, "What disease do you want to see? I'm not sick."

"Are you okay? You've been married for months, and there's not even a piece of happy news!" Miao Xiaohua slammed the wooden door, "Hurry up and open the door! Who else would be like you, locking the door every day?"

"Mom! Just go out when the door is open. Besides, it's not An Rou's problem that she doesn't have any good news. It's me who doesn't want a child." Li Jianxin refused to open the door.

This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Miao Xiaohua immediately exploded, "What did you say! You don't want a child?! Li Jianxin, you bastard, are you sick?"

Yaoyao held Baolin's hand and blinked her innocent face, "Sister Baolin, why are you sick if you don't want a child?"

Baolin tilted her head and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. However, she couldn't expose her ignorance, so she rolled her eyes and said, "He must be unable to get pregnant, so he said he didn't want it."

She leaned over to Yaoyao's ear and whispered behind Youcai's back, "Do you remember? We were eating meat before and Youcai wanted to eat it. We asked him to eat it but he said he didn't want to. In fact, he was punished by his mother and couldn't eat it."

After she gave this example, Yaoyao understood and showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

What's more, Miao Xiaohua thought the same thing, so she used all her strength to kick the door open.

The children stepped back in fear, and Li Jianxin's dusty face was revealed in the swirling dust. He was choked by the dust several times, "Mom! Why did you kick my door in?"

"If it's broken, I'll fix it for you." Miao Xiaohua grabbed her son's arm and said, "Come with me to see a doctor!"

Li Jianxin was no match for Miao Xiaohua and was dragged several meters away. Miao Xiaohua then said to the delicate and gentle An Rou, "Come here quickly, don't let me drag you!"

She gets a headache when she sees this daughter-in-law. She looks delicate and tender, and you can tell she's not good at work. How are they going to live with two useless girls in the family? It's so worrying!

The couple was finally pulled over. The villagers also knew these two weirdos, and automatically made way for Miao Xiaohua to watch first.

Not long after, the villagers heard Li Jianxin's hysterical curse from inside, "You fart!"
