Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

After getting up, he found the little girl playing by herself next to him. Seeing her brother wake up, she stared at him expectantly. Seeing her brother nod, he skillfully got down on the bed and dragged the sack out from under the bed.

She tried hard to imitate her brother's nonchalant expression on her little face. She reached out her hand and stared at the grapes and the bulging bag in her hand. Then she took out a handful of small fruits that she didn't recognize, held them in her hand and laughed like a silver bell.

The fourth sister pushed the door open shortly after, and after looking at the fruit in the little girl's hand, she hurriedly jumped up and down to search for it in front of the window. Unfortunately, the rain outside was so heavy that it was impossible to tell people and animals apart five meters away. Any traces would soon be washed away by the heavy rain.

After looking outside reluctantly, he turned around and said righteously to the little girl who had already started eating:

"You need to wash this before you eat it. Can I help you wash it?"

It was almost dinner time before I got up. I saw my son still lying in the room, and my two daughters were climbing up and down to give him a pretend massage. If it weren’t for the grapes placed next to him, the scene would have been perfect…

Wang Xiulan took the grapes away and scolded the two girls. This time, Wang Xiulan was really angry. She frowned and said that the fourth girl was not sensible at all. Tomorrow, her brother's girlfriend will come home. It would be great to save the grapes to entertain her. You can eat some yourself, but you can't wash them all. You are too sensible...

The little girl looked at her sister who was speechless after being scolded, and silently took out two more big bunches from under the bed. Wang Xiulan was so angry that she directed her fire at Zhang Xingwang, who had not spoken the whole time, and bluntly said that her son was stupid and it was not like a cadre to make his mother angry together with his sister.

As he spoke, he took out a sack from under the bed and was about to leave. On his way out, he sighed and emptied all the grapes from the sack, then stuffed the sack back under the bed and left...

Zhang Xingwang, who was caught in the crossfire, felt that in the past month, except for his younger sister, everyone in his family had changed a lot. His mother had become so eloquent. The aggrieved fourth sister saw Zhang Xingwang's confusion and replied dejectedly:

"Mom has been nagging since my eldest brother-in-law showed up. She also said that her scalp has been itching lately. Now she has become moody and harder to talk to."

"Is that hard to talk about? Just say it straight and it will become hard to fool."

But the mother hasn't changed much, at least her ambition has not changed at all. She covered her head and glanced at the three siblings, saying that her headache was relieved and she wanted to get enough rest so that she could cook for her future daughter-in-law tomorrow. They just wanted to have a simple dinner, and she casually asked her fourth sister to cook some porridge.

Zhang Xingwang had been frowning when he heard this, and after seeing the little girl's big watery eyes, he could no longer tolerate it. He went straight back to his room, dragged a big goose out from under the bed, and arrogantly told his fourth sister that he would stew the goose for dinner in the evening.

Amid the applause of the little girl, the fourth sister ran to the kitchen with the goose in her hand. The little girl also stopped the old mother who wanted to help, and said proudly on behalf of the fourth sister:

"Mom, please don't come in. If I asked you to clean up, half of them would probably be in your box. Don't use the neighbors as an excuse. It's raining so hard today. Even if you squat in the yard to eat, they won't be able to smell it..."

When the little girl saw her mother turning around and walking towards her brother, she quickly ran over and said:

"Brother, you have to turn into a big goose, otherwise my chickens will be doomed."

I hugged the little girl and slapped her on the butt. Then I said to the little girl who was about to open her mouth:

"Don't cry, you are so ignorant. At most, I will fry you an egg tonight. But no one is allowed to eat this goose today."

It turned out that ever since I received Zhang Xingwang's telegram, I had started preparing to welcome my daughter-in-law. Since Zhang Xingwang was not at home, there was nothing good in the house.

As for meat, I plan to kill a chicken and then prepare some scrambled eggs. I have saved up six taels of meat coupons at home, but it may not be practical to buy meat. I can still buy some meat bones and make some soup, and try to make it as rich as possible.

Given the atmosphere in the courtyard, Wang Xiulan really felt uneasy if she didn't do this. If she wasn't afraid of being looked down upon by her daughter-in-law, she would have arranged to receive them in the village long ago, aiming to make it foolproof. This was a plan that Wang Xiulan came up with after two sleepless days.

But the two sisters obviously disagreed with this idea. The little girl treated the chickens at home as her friends and had been spanked three times by Wang Xiulan in order to protect the chickens.

Fourth sister thought the chicken was too ordinary, so she asked me to prepare the things that eldest brother-in-law had sent. There were also many things specially supplied by the army in it, which would definitely make me proud. But I didn't think so. The two of them weren't together yet, so it wouldn't be appropriate to ask for other people's things. What would I give back if they broke up? Anyway, she didn't want anything that belonged to Luo Zhenghao.

Zhang Xingwang felt that his mother seemed to have suddenly become more aggressive when he was not around, but she was still quite principled on major issues. However, seeing the little girl covering her buttocks but not daring to cry out loud, he went back to the room, took out another one and handed it to Wang Xiulan, which calmed the storm.

While the fourth sister was packing the geese, Zhang Xingwang also took the opportunity to sort out his haul. He said bluntly that he had basically achieved meat freedom.

Together with what he bought on the black market, there was more than enough to last until the New Year: nine flying dragons, twelve wild boars, fourteen yellow sheep, a brown bear and its gallbladder, a red deer, eight roe deer and seven sika deer, more than 230 kilograms of pork, forty-six chickens, nineteen geese, four pairs of pigeons, 110 kilograms of rice and kilograms of millet, and five and a half kilograms of oil.

Four first-class wine tickets were also exchanged for four bottles of wine, and even a wolfskin coat. The space was 29.4 cubic meters, and the coarse grains given every day were almost kilograms.

The planting space is still a bit small, and the grapes inside are growing uncontrollably. Now even the ginseng underground is hidden and cannot be seen. Only the tea trees are not surrounded by grapes.

Wang Xiulan looked at her dazed son, slapped her forehead and asked:

"Xiao Ya is still alone in the guesthouse. She is unfamiliar with the place. How is she going to eat dinner?"

"Don't worry, mom. I bought it for her at noon. I told her about it before I came back. Just ask the lady at the guesthouse to heat it up in the evening."

After that, the mother and son talked about what had happened recently. The mother didn’t say anything else, but just said that the most serious thing was the heavy rains.

Bai Xiulan looked out the window with a worried look on her face and muttered, "The ration was reduced by 20% a few days ago, and everyone is waiting for the autumn harvest to increase the ration. With the heavy rains falling one after another, the crops are probably going to be mostly destroyed."

If this were the case, the villages of several aunts would run out of food within three months. After she said this, she was afraid her son didn't understand, so she explained in earnest the horror of running out of food.

When the porridge ran out, wild vegetables would make up for it, and then we could have a good meal. After all, when people are starving, whether it is the dog at home or the pigs in the team, they become unimportant. Finally, they will focus on seeds. After all, it will not be the beginning of winter in three months, and everyone knows whether they can wait until the autumn harvest next year...

The old lady didn’t say the rest, but Zhang Xingwang believed in her judgment. So he had to go to the village to take a look. After all, the old man had given him the treatment of young village chief. If all the villagers starved to death, why would he run back to the village for no reason?
