Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

Although this year was very quiet, it did not prevent Xie Jiaojiao from having a good time!

On the night of New Year's Eve, Xie Jiaojiao made dumplings at home with pork and cabbage filling. Xie Zhiyi ate them with his mouth full of oil.

After dinner, the two of them set off firecrackers in the yard again.

This was Xie Zhiyi’s first time setting off firecrackers, he was so happy.

But I was also a little sad: "Sister, it would be great if mom was here."

Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything, but just touched his little head.

After setting off the firecrackers, Xie Jiaojiao narrated the story of Sun Wukong to him. Xie Zhiyi listened attentively and held Xie Jiaojiao for a long time, refusing to go to bed. Finally, Xie Jiaojiao forced him to go to bed before he fell asleep.

Thinking that it was Chinese New Year, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xie Jiaojiao made up her mind and killed all the old hens that she had raised in the backyard for a long time and stewed them. She told Xie Zhiyi that it was spring and she would go to the town to buy a dozen chicks for him to raise. Xie Zhiyi was so happy that he immediately forgot the grudge that his sister had killed the old hens he had raised for so many years. When he ate the chicken, he ate it much happier than Xie Jiaojiao and kept saying that it was delicious.

Meanwhile, the New Year that Sun Ruhua spent at Xie Zhili's home was very dull.

Xie Zhili and Zhou Cuihong originally thought that no matter what Xie Jiaojiao said, she would bring something to wish them a happy new year or something, after all, Sun Ruhua was still in their house!

But after the second day of the Chinese New Year, no one came to visit.

Xie Kun came back at noon and said that Xie Zhiyi took a lot of delicious food and shared it with Niu Er, but did not give him any!

Zhou Cuihong was furious when she heard this. She pointed at his head and said, "Eat, eat, eat! All you know is eating!"

Xie Kun pouted: "Xie Zhiyi is wearing new clothes!"

Zhou Cuihong stopped talking. Lying on the bed at night, Zhou Cuihong said to Xie Zhili, "Master, I will go back to my mother's house tomorrow. Please take some time to tell her about this."

Xie Zhili nodded, but then asked, "You came back not long ago, and you went back again..."

Zhou Cuihong patted him lightly and complained, "It's New Year's Day. If I don't go back, won't I be criticized? Do you think I want to run away? It's such a long way. Every time I go back and forth, my legs will be swollen!"

Xie Zhili also felt sorry for her: "I'm not saying that I won't let you go back. Okay, but you must not delay this time. Go back tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. You can stay by my side and give me some advice."

Zhou Cuihong lay down: "Okay, I got it, don't worry!"

The next morning, Zhou Cuihong got up, cooked some sweet potatoes, said hello to Sun Ruhua, and went out with Xie Kun.

When they were almost at the door, Xie Zhili pretended to ask her, "Did you bring anything for your parents-in-law?"

Zhou Cuihong opened the basket and found only a cabbage and a few sweet potatoes inside. She deliberately let Sun Ruhua see them.

"Is this all you have?" Xie Zhili said with a frown.

Zhou Cuihong looked aggrieved, but she forced a smile and said, "Boss, there is not much money left at home. Don't worry, my parents won't say anything!"

Xie Zhili hurriedly grabbed her, rummaged in his arms for a long time, and took out two copper coins and gave them to Zhou Cuihong, with an embarrassed look on his face.

Zhou Cuihong confiscated it: "Master, you keep it."

After saying that, he took Xie Kun out.

Xie Zhili looked miserable, his eyes were red, as if he was about to cry. When he turned around and saw Sun Ruhua, he quickly wiped away the tears that weren't in his eyes and said with a wry smile, "I made a fool of myself for you!"

Sun Ruhua opened her mouth but didn't say anything.

Xie Zhili went to the kitchen and brought out the cooked sweet potatoes, then sat at the dining table with Sun Ruhua.

"Mom, I'm really useless for letting you live a hard life with me. But don't worry, I will work hard to let you live a good life." His eyes were red after he said this.

Sun Ruhua comforted him, "As long as you work hard, your life will definitely get better and better."

Xie Zhili nodded: "Tomorrow, when my mother comes back, I will kill the chicken in the backyard and stew it for her to nourish her body!"

Sun Ruhua hurriedly said no, "Why kill the chicken? Keep it for next year to lay eggs. It's important to nourish the child."

After saying that, Sun Ruhua ate the sweet potato in a few bites and went to take care of the baby.

Xie Zhili was weaving dustpans, brooms and other things in the yard.

Sun Ruhua looked at her, then went out with the baby in her arms. When she came back, she was carrying a pound of meat in her hands.

When Xie Zhili saw it, he immediately ran over. When he saw the meat, his eyes lit up.

"Mom, what is this meat?"

"My mother bought it!" Sun Ruhua said with a smile.

"I thought you said you wanted to kill a chicken this morning. You must be greedy. I went to your neighbor Aunt Wang's house. She bought some meat in town this morning. I asked her to cut a pound and sell it to me. We will also have meat at noon. It can be considered as celebrating the New Year."

Xie Zhili nodded with an expression of emotion, but in his heart he was thinking, it turns out that Sun Ruhua came from that side with some silver on her!

Then this matter needs to be considered carefully! Let's wait until Zhou Cuihong comes back.

The New Year is only celebrated for a few days, and after that, the festive atmosphere is gone.

Xie Jiaojiao also started to get busy.

I quickly started making soy sauce.

Xie Jiaojiao asked Tian Hu to run around the village for her, saying that her family was harvesting soybeans and would collect as much as possible. When everyone heard this, they immediately carried the soybeans from their homes and went to Xie Jiaojiao's house.

Xie Jiaojiao's courtyard door had already been opened.

At the end of the day, most of the crops in the village had been harvested.

The person who came to sell soybeans asked Xie Jiaojiao if the soybeans would be harvested by the end of the year or next year. If they were, he had a lot of second-grade land, so he could plant more this year.

Xie Jiaojiao immediately gave him a positive answer: "Yes, I will take as much as you can!"

The people behind him also heard it.

"Ms. Xie, what you said is true. Don't lie to us. If you really want to collect it, we will plant more."

"Don't worry, I said I would harvest, and I will definitely harvest it. I will harvest no matter how much you plant!"

Now everyone felt relieved.

Xie Zhili was embarrassed to send the soybeans from his home to sell, so he weighed them at home and asked other people in the village to help sell them. Of course, Xie Jiaojiao didn't know about this. If she knew, she would definitely not accept a single soybean from him.

Zhou Cuihong stayed at home for another day before returning with Xie Kun.

As soon as he came back, he was dragged back to the house by Xie Zhili, who said unhappily, "Why did you delay him for another day?"

Zhou Cuihong immediately felt aggrieved: "Do you think I want to? My feet were swollen on my first day back home, so I rested for an extra day at home. This time I only brought a few things back. Luckily, my eldest brother and his wife didn't say anything."

Xie Zhili was immediately speechless.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhou Cuihong asked him, "How are you doing? Your mother..."

When this was mentioned, Xie Zhili immediately said, "What you said was not done."

Seeing Zhou Cuihong's unhappy face, Xie Zhili immediately said: "I don't think it's the right time yet. Don't you know that mother has money in her hand!"

"How is it possible! How can someone like Xie Jiaojiao be allowed to bring money out?"

Xie Zhili nodded: "That's right, I secretly searched my mother's bag yesterday, I didn't find the silver, but I saw a silver hairpin in her bag! I weighed it and it's worth more than one or two taels of silver!"

"Really?" Zhou Cuihong still didn't believe it.

"Why would I lie to you? Seriously!"

Zhou Cuihong's eyes turned and she started thinking again.

If Sun Ruhua had money, why would she tell them how to make money? If they wanted Sun Ruhua to tell them Xie Jiaojiao's secret of making money, they would have to empty Sun Ruhua's pocket first!

Unexpectedly, the baby on the bed started crying. Zhou Cuihong said to Xie Zhili, "Master, I have an idea..."
