Quickly wear a life of peace

Fan Hua kicked Xu Qingsheng under the table. When she saw him looking at her, she pointed in the direction of the second house and mouthed the word "divide the family".

Xu Qingsheng glared at Fan Hua with disapproval. Although he felt that his second brother was disobedient and had a perverse personality, he had no intention of splitting up the family business.

But he didn't. It was different for the others. Xu Qinglin was not satisfied with Xu Qingmao's behavior and started yelling, "How could my second brother do this? It's too much. Mom and Dad, I don't want to tolerate him anymore. You should separate him out! If he is separated out, he won't be able to bring harm to our family anymore."

"What? Killing a chicken for your sister-in-law who is in confinement after giving birth is a disaster, but what's the point of you, the third brother, stealing so many good things over the years?" Xu Qinglin was angrily accusing Xu Qingmao when he suddenly heard Xu Qingmao's voice from behind, which scared him.

Even though he seems to be in high spirits now and usually doesn't treat the second wife well, he is actually very afraid of his second brother.

Not for anything else, just because he would be beaten. Xu Qingmao was not like others who would give in to him because he was young. He was always ruthless to him. After being beaten a few times, he became obedient and did not dare to confront Xu Qingmao in person.

"Second brother, you really went too far this time. You kill the chickens at home whenever you want. They are kept for laying eggs, and we rely on them to exchange for salt. Do you still care about us two old people?" The old lady was very protective of her son, and she didn't want anyone to talk about her beloved little son.

Xu Qingmao did not back down either. "Mom, what are you saying? Ruolan is in confinement, so what's wrong with eating your chicken? Her parents took so many good things, and our family is planning to give nothing? If you tell others, aren't you afraid of being laughed at? Besides, you never took care of Ruolan during her confinement. You took care of my sister-in-law twice. How about this, I will go and get my mother-in-law tomorrow to take care of Ruolan during her confinement. When the time comes, remember to put more food in the food you cook. We can't just ignore the food, that would be too embarrassing!"

After finishing a long string of words, Xu Qingmao grabbed two pieces of cake on the table and prepared to leave.

The old man couldn't sit still this time. If he really let the second son call his relatives, it would be a real shame for their family.

Duoduo's grandmother has a job, but grandma doesn't.

The unemployed mother-in-law at home did not take care of her daughter during the confinement period, but asked her mother, who had a job, to take care of her daughter during the confinement period. If this got out, he would not be able to bear the shame.

After slapping the table, he said, "Alright, the chicken has been killed and eaten, why are you talking so much? Second son, you are also angry about your mother's words. From now on, let your mother take care of your wife and won't bother your mother-in-law. Alright, sit down and eat."

Xu Qingmao laughed sarcastically, "Don't do that. You don't have to ask my mother-in-law, and you don't have to ask my mother to take care of you. I'm afraid she will spit in the food. I saw it when my sister-in-law did it. You should give me some money. I'll go buy some eggs to feed my wife."

The old lady's face changed immediately. How could she bear to give money to her second son who only made her angry? The money was to be left for her beloved youngest son.

The one who changed her expression even faster than her was her aunt who was sitting aside watching the show. When she heard her brother-in-law say that her mother-in-law spit in her food, she couldn't help but spit it out.

The dining room suddenly became bustling with activity, and Xu Qingmao took the opportunity to return to his room. He couldn't eat in that environment.

Liu Ruolan was feeding her eldest son chicken in the house. When she saw her husband coming back with a smug look on his face, she asked curiously, "What happened just now? What happened?"

Xu Qingmao smiled and told her what happened. Liu Ruolan looked at her husband in surprise, "Did your mother really spit in your sister-in-law's food? This is too disgusting."

"Really!" Xu Qingmao nodded affirmatively, "I saw it with my own eyes, so I didn't ask her to take care of you during the confinement period."

Liu Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, "Fortunately you didn't ask her to cook for me, otherwise I would have been sick to death."

Xu Qingmao chuckled, "Sister-in-law is vomiting right now, hehe..."

The couple laughed secretly together.

In the evening, the old lady reluctantly gave twenty yuan. Xu Qingmao didn't expect that the old couple would be so generous this time. He could only say that the old man really valued face.

Soon Liu Ruolan finished her confinement and was ready to go back to work.

Now Liu Ruolan's job is taken over by her cousin from her uncle's family. The cousin just graduated from junior high school and it's summer vacation, so she can help her cover for her. Of course, all the salary goes to the cousin.

Since she couldn't take care of her children while working, Liu Ruolan sent her sons Xu Jianbin and Duoduo to a nursery next to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Because Duoduo was too young, the other party refused to take him in, so Liu Ruolan spent five extra dollars. But she was not at ease letting her mother-in-law take care of the child.

Given the mother-in-law's partiality, the two children will definitely be abused.

So, when Xu Jianbin was young, he was also placed in the nursery so that she could find time to feed him.

Time passed quietly in such family affairs.

When Duoduo was two years old, a locust plague occurred and many places were affected. At this time, Liu Ruolan became pregnant again.

Duoduo remembers that after the locust plague, there was a three-year famine. The country had a very difficult time, with internal and external troubles.

During this period, food supplies gradually decreased, and Liu Ruolan's health became a problem, and her morning sickness was particularly severe.

My aunt just gave birth to a daughter and she couldn’t take good care of herself during the confinement period.

The family still eats together, but each room can only secretly buy food at high prices to subsidize itself.

The good thing about the second room is that both husband and wife can earn extra money, making it easier to buy food. Liu Ruolan works at the supply and marketing cooperative, so it is convenient for her to buy things.

There is a small river near Xu's house. Now it has dried up and only a shallow layer of water remains. The adults are free to let the children play there.

After returning home with his mother, Xu Jianbin would take Duoduo to play by the river.

He put Duoduo on the river bank, and went down to the river with his friends to catch small fish for fun.

There is no water in the river, so no big fish can grow there, so they are all caught and eaten by people.

Nowadays, it is a great fortune for children to catch a loach or eel occasionally.

A little further away, there is a pond full of reeds. Many wild ducks used to live in the reeds, but now they have all flown away.

While no one was paying attention to him, Duoduo ran to the place where the creek met the reed marsh, grabbed a wild duck and a dozen wild duck eggs from the space, tied them up and hid them.

Then he quickly ran home on his short legs.

At home, mom and grandma were cooking in the kitchen, and dad was washing clothes by the well.

There was not much water in the basin and it was a little turbid.

Duoduo took a look and saw that there was no one in the yard, so he moved closer to his father and spoke into his ear.
