Quickly wear a life of peace

Grandma Xu sighed, knowing that having a daughter-in-law is not easy, so she acquiesced to the matter.

At night, Hu Ni slept with Xuanyunduo. The little person curled up into a ball, which made Xuanyunduo feel very distressed.

The adults have committed sins, and the little child has to suffer as a result. He lost his mother when he was young, and now his father is like this too. His life will be even more difficult in the future!

Looking at the little baby crying secretly with his eyes closed beside him, Xuanyunduo felt sad.

Such a young child probably feels that he is unpopular and is very anxious, so he doesn't even dare to cry out loud.

Xuanyunduo is not someone who is good at comforting others, so at this moment all he could do was pat her back and coax the little girl to sleep.

The moonlight outside is as silver as silver. The bright moonlight shines in through the window lattice, accompanied by the chirping of insects and frogs, gradually calming people's minds.

Xuanyunduo woke up in the morning because she was hungry. Yesterday's field work was very hard. As she didn't often do farm work, she really couldn't bear it. Now she still felt sore all over and uncomfortable everywhere.

The Xu family members have all gone to work. Hu Ni is weeding and feeding the ducks in the vegetable garden. What a well-behaved little girl.

He stuffed a candy into the little girl's mouth and asked with a smile, "Have you eaten, Hu Ni?"

"I've eaten!" Hu Ni, with puffy cheeks, answered in a low voice with her head down.

This cute little appearance attracted Duo Nuo Duo who couldn't help but stretched out his claws and pinched Xiao Hu Ni's face to tease her, "What did you eat for breakfast? Are you full?"

"I had corn porridge for breakfast and I'm full. I left a bowl for you, cousin, to keep warm in the pot. Come and eat it!" Hu Ni raised her head and obediently let Xuanyunduo rub her little face.

"So good!" Xuanyunduo touched Xiao Huni's head lovingly before going to wash up and eat.

He secretly ate a piece of old bread baked in the space, and then gulped down the bowl of vegetable porridge in three or two mouthfuls! After washing the dishes, he put on the backpack and called Hu Ni to go out.

I'm afraid she'll be scared if I leave her alone at home, so I'd better bring her with me.

Because Hu Ni was still too young, he decided not to go up the mountain today. He first went to the river to put down the fish basket, and then took Hu Ni along the shore to pick grass for pigs. Although there was not as much as on the mountain, it was barely enough if he smuggled a little bit from the space.

Today, with Hu Ni's help, we dug two full baskets earlier than usual. Xuanyuduo simply caught a basket of snails in the shallow water, cut off their tails, dripped some oil on them to let them spit out the mud and sand, and fried them with leeks in the evening.

At noon, I took out the rabbit with a broken leg and cooked it in a large pot with potatoes. I also cooked a pot of porridge with sorghum and dried sweet potatoes.

Now is the most tiring time of autumn harvest, so we still need to eat well to replenish our body. If we overwork our body, it will be difficult to restore it.

She originally planned to leave Hu Ni at home to rest in the afternoon while she went up the mountain to smuggle two pheasants back. However, Hu Ni was unwilling to do so and insisted on going with her to help.

"Cousin, I don't want to eat for free. Don't look down on me because I'm small. I can also dig wild vegetables. I don't want to be a burden to you and make my aunt lose face!"

Seeing Hu Ni stubbornly raising her little face and looking at her with tearful eyes, Xuanyunduo really couldn't bear it. What a good child! She hoped that fate would favor her and let this sensible child be safe and sound.

"Silly girl, our Hu Ni is the most capable. She dug so many wild vegetables this morning and can feed herself. She is not a burden to anyone. She is a great treasure!"

Not wanting to disappoint Hu Ni, Xuanyunduo took her up the mountain.

It's true that Hu Ni has already recognized quite a few mushrooms, much better than Xuanyunduo. She also has a very good eye and can always find the wild mushrooms hidden under the leaves earlier than Xuanyunduo.

"Hu Ni, you are so capable. You have dug up all the wild vegetables. Why don't you leave some for your cousin? Otherwise, if people know that your cousin can't even compare to a little kid, I will be so embarrassed!"

Wuuwuwu... Help! This kid is too curly, it makes me look so useless!

Hu Ni looked at Xuanyuduo and smiled. Xuanyuduo's heart melted as she smiled. She was amazed at how there could be such a well-behaved little kid in the world. She was simply an angel!

So Xuanyunduo secretly released a pheasant next to Xiao Huni when she wasn't paying attention. Xiao Huni subconsciously pounced on the pheasant and pressed it so hard that it rolled its eyes!

Manyuduo laughed out loud, "Wow... Hu Ni is amazing, she actually found a pheasant!"

As she spoke, she did not forget to look at Hu Ni with admiration, which made Hu Ni's mouth unable to close. She was extremely happy, "Cousin, there is meat to eat again!"

"Yeah, it's all thanks to our Hu Ni. My cousin is eating meat thanks to our Hu Ni!" Looking at Hu Ni's lively appearance, Xuanyunduo was really happy for her.

The two girls went down the mountain happily and collected the fish baskets first. Well, the harvest was good. The bramble weaving was different. They caught a large grass carp weighing more than one pound, two yellow eels, and a lot of small fish and shrimps, enough to stew a big pot.

At night, at Xiao Huni's request, I killed a chicken and made a stew of mushrooms and a handful of wide noodles. It was so delicious. To go with this dish, Xuanyunduo also made two kinds of rice.

I then stir-fried snail meat with leeks and made egg drop soup with the pheasant eggs I picked up (I originally wanted to make mushroom soup, but was afraid that poisonous mushrooms would be mixed in, so I didn't dare to do it).

Today's dinner can be said to be very sumptuous.

Sure enough, when we were eating, we heard that today's dishes were all Xiao Hu Ni's contribution, and everyone praised Hu Ni again and again. Xiao Hu Ni was so happy that she narrowed her eyes and didn't even care about covering her mouth with missing front teeth. Hehe...

Seeing how well-behaved Xiao Hu Ni was, Grandma Xu sighed and finally gave in, agreeing to let Xiao Hu Ni stay! Grandma Xu was so grateful that she almost shed tears!

Time passed quickly, and the grain was stored in the warehouse. The team leader decided to give everyone two days off to rest. School was about to start, and Erni was taken back to be taken care of by Grandma Xu at home. Xuanyunduo, her fourth brother Xu Zhi, and her fifth brother Xu Xin also moved to her third uncle's house in the city. Huni's household registration was also settled in the Xu family, and she stayed there forever.

There are not many children from the same village going to school together. One reason is that it is difficult for people in the city to find jobs now, and batches of educated youth have gone to the countryside, causing everyone to think that studying is useless and a waste of money.

Another reason is that the road is too far. There are no primary schools in the nearby villages, only in the commune. And Qinghe Brigade is too far from the commune. It takes an hour even by bicycle.

In the past, several brigades under the jurisdiction of Yuyang Commune had also applied for village-run primary schools, but there were not many children in each brigade who went to school, and the brigades were not close to each other, so they really couldn't come up with a good solution, and over time, the plan was left unresolved.
