I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Several children from the village watched from afar, and were so envious that their snot ran into their mouths without them noticing.

Other people’s stones are so advanced that they can lie down on the donkey cart to rest when they are tired, while I can only lie on the mud.

Xiaohua winked at them and waved. Several children ran over excitedly and circled around the donkey cart.

"Xiaohua, can I ride on your donkey cart?" asked the piglet with a runny nose.

Xiaohua refused loudly. She was afraid that he would wipe his snot on the car. Also, she didn't want him to sit because Zhuwa was Sanya's nephew and their two families had just had a fight.

"Aunt Xiaohua, can I come and sit?" Brothers Tiedan and Tieqiu stood next to Xiaohua.

The shaft of the donkey cart was on the ground, and the rear of the cart was raised high.

Ji Xiaobei had already reminded them not to get on the car casually, lest the rear end of the car be crushed and they fall.

Xiaohua touched the shaft of the cart and said, "You two can touch the body of the cart. What are you waiting for? My donkey has had enough rest. I'll let you two sit on the donkey cart."

The Tiedan brothers' eyes were shining with excitement. Although everyone else had been rejected, they were given special treatment and became very arrogant.

"Go away, go play somewhere else!" Shi Tou recovered and shouted at the children.

The children dispersed laughing.

Xiaohua and Shitou went home to have breakfast.

Xiaoju completed the task and returned happily with a basket of fresh wild vegetables.

She plucked the heart of the wild vegetable and fed it to the chicks: "Eat some wild vegetables to fill your stomach first. There is some millet soaking in the house. I will feed it to you later!"

The little chicks chirped and nodded to peck at the wild vegetables.

This morning I cooked sweet potato, white rice porridge and salted radish pickles.

This was much more delicious than the black porridge, and several people drank half of the pot.

After dinner, Ji Xiaobei began to assign tasks. The two acres of land had been plowed. Ji Xiaobei planned to adjust the focus of his work and focus on building a family environment in the next few days.

"Now the skinny donkey needs a donkey shed, and the chickens need a chicken coop. There is an open space at the door, so we might as well build the donkey shed there. Donkey carts can't enter the yard anyway," said Ji Xiaobei.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"There is ready-made wood and branches in the backyard. If they are not enough, we can go to the foot of the mountain and cut some more." Lin said.

Shitou disagreed, saying that it was not allowed outside the yard because there was no wall. What if someone stole the property?

Ji Xiaobei put his bowl on the table with a bang, crossed his chest and said firmly: "If there is no wall, build one. Then the donkey shed will be in the yard."

The yard that Ji's family lives in is relatively small, and there is a large area in the backyard and at the door. She plans to fence them off so that the cave in the backyard will be safe.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Big sister, there is one more thing. You can't always call it a skinny donkey. It's not very pretty. It's a little skinny, but it's also a new member of our family. We still need to give it a name."

Xiaohua said, raising her hand.

The skinny donkey in the yard started braying "ah ah ah".

"Yes, let's give it a name!" Shi Tou's mood suddenly improved when he heard the donkey's bray.

"Call me Paopao or Dazui!" said Shi Tou.

"No, that's tacky!" the whole family said at the same time.

"Call Decai, Ji Decai!" Ji Xiaobei blurted out.

The whole family was stunned. With its skinny body and barren hair all over its body, does it really deserve this name?

Ji Xiaobei clapped his hands, laughed and walked out of the house.

"Ji Decai, I think it's good!" Stone said thoughtfully, "It's weak now, but it doesn't mean it will be weak in the future.

Besides, it brought back so much food, it is fully worthy of the name Decai."

Xiaohua laughed so hard that she bent over, and Xiaoju laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She waved her hand and went out to work.

Lin doesn't care about virtue or talent. No matter what you call him, he is a donkey. There is a lot of work to do in the back room, so he has to start early.

Ji Decai kept making "ah-ah-ah" sounds in the backyard, and when he stuck his tail out, several smooth donkey dung balls rolled down.

Lin waited until the donkey finished pooping before telling Xiaohua to let the donkey go.

Xiaohua, who received the task, carefully led the skinny donkey, no, it was Decai, out of the door, with her small body standing straight and looking energetic.

Shitou originally wanted to go by himself, and watched enviously as his sister pulled Decai out of the house.

He comforted himself that there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, and that right now it was more important to build a wall and a shed for Decai.

As he thought about it, his men moved faster and weeded the weeds at the gate.

"Stone!" Two boys came over, looking around as they walked.

"Shi Tou, I heard that your family borrowed a donkey. Where is it?" Fugui asked.

"My sister was taken out and released!" Shitou said proudly.

"What are you doing?" asked another boy Tieliang.

"We're building a donkey shed. If you have nothing to do, please give us a hand. We have to finish building it for Decai. Then we can take him to the mountains to play." said Shitou.

Fugui frowned and asked, "Who?"

"Decai, my donkey is called Decai. It's a name I just gave it. How about it, very noble, right?" Shi Tou smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

Fugui scratched his head and thought, Dad said that he was originally supposed to be called Decai, but he felt that he was not worthy of someone with both virtue and talent, so he named him Fugui.

He felt a little awkward and wondered what kind of donkey it was that deserved such a noble name.

Tieliang also imagined the image of a donkey in his mind: a strong body, smooth skin, and a loud cry. Well, this should be the donkey.

The two friends worked together to carry the wood out from the backyard.

They dug holes, put wood in, buried soil, tamped it down, and found straw mats to put on the roof. These tasks were easy for them, and they often helped build shacks for their families.

Shitou felt that there was only a layer of straw mat on the roof, which made it a bit drafty at night, so he suggested going to the mountain to get some branches to put on top.

Fugui and Tieliang were not very enthusiastic. The work they did was not easy at all. They were all exhausted and sweating. They didn't even want to look at the donkey and just wanted to go home.

"Wow, you three have put it together. You are really talented!" Ji Xiaobei held a handful of peanuts in his hand and threw one into his mouth.

Fugui and Tieliang swallowed their saliva. They heard that Shitou's sister brought back a lot of good things and even distributed sausages to the children.

The two of them looked at each other, and the fatigue on their faces disappeared. They smiled and said, "Sister Xiaobei, Shitou said he would go to the mountain to get some more branches."

"Go ahead, you two have worked hard, let's have lunch here at noon!" Ji Xiaobei threw another bean into his mouth.

Shitou immediately took over the conversation and said, "No need to get the branches, you two can go back!"

Fugui and Tieliang looked at Ji Xiaobei at the same time.

Ji Xiaobei criticized Shitou, saying, "They are both your good friends. Look how tired they are. They have helped you with the work. It is only right for them to not work and invite their friends to have a meal at home."

Stone's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a black pot.
