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

Ji Deyan and Xiao Juanmao lay at the door, not moving at all.

Mrs. Lin calls like this every day, and they are used to it.

It's not even daybreak yet, and they're not hungry anyway...

The men sleeping in the side rooms turned over and fell asleep again...

Seeing no movement, Mrs. Lin picked up the feather duster and went into the stone house: Humph! You can't control others, but can't you control your own son?

Just as she was about to go into the house, Shitou came out with sleepy eyes: "Mom, I'm going to add some fodder to Ma Debiao..."

Shitou is afraid of his mother, but not of anyone else.

He snatched the feather duster from his mother's hand and went to the other people's room...

The women in Jijiawan in the backyard have already started to get busy. They get up and work as soon as the sun rises, as if it is a matter of course.

The only exception was Ji Xiaobei, who was yawning lazily on the bed.

Haixia's mother got up very early and came back this afternoon.

Ji Xiaobei had already asked Xiaozhuo and Caixia to prepare today's meal yesterday.

The pot of rice cooked by Mrs. Lin is delicious, but after eating it for a long time, I want to change the taste.

Yesterday, Xiao Zhuo went to the market and bought half a pig. He planned to stew the meat today to welcome the return of the Strait.

It is very hard to take part in scientific examinations. You have to stay in a small space for days on end to ponder.

I don’t know how many hairs the Strait will pull out.

Ji Xiaobei felt worried whenever he thought about it.

She hated studying the most. During exams, she stared at the questions like they were three-dimensional diagrams, but she still couldn't do them.

Hey!

Only those who have passed the exam know that kind of pain.

Ji Xiaobei put on his clothes and left the house.

As the weather grew colder, she wrapped herself up and went to watch the tailors work.

Tailor Guo and Luo Xiu Niang had dark circles under their eyes and were working listlessly with their heads down. When they saw Ji Xiaobei coming, they straightened their backs, worked very energetically, and their hands moved faster.

The needles and threads in Haixia Niang and Aunt Song's hands were flying, rubbing them on the scalp from time to time.

"Xiaobei, let me measure you and make two pieces for you. We all have them, but you don't!" Aunt Song came over with a ruler.

Ji Xiaobei took a step back and said, "No need! I have something to wear!"

Aunt Song had a serious look on her face. She pulled Ji Xiaobei into the inner room and asked her to sit on a chair.

Ji Xiaobei had never seen Aunt Song so dignified before.

"Bei, we are all women, we know what your body condition is like.

We women can afford to raise your baby. As long as Aunt Song has something to eat, your baby won't starve. If anyone talks nonsense, I'll tear her mouth off... Your mistress and I stayed here to make some money and to help you...

Just give birth to the baby and leave all the housework to us..."

Ji Xiaobei stared at Aunt Song in a daze. She didn't expect Aunt Song to say such enlightened words.

Her eyes were a little wet, and she took Aunt Song's hand and said with a smile: "Thank you, Auntie, I knew you were good to me!"

When Aunt Song heard this, she burst into tears.

"Bei, you've been so good to us. Without you, we women wouldn't be where we are today. You opened the handicraft workshop so that the villagers could eat meat. You also distributed money to everyone when the bandits came into the village, and you also distributed money when we went to Anlian Mountain..."

"Aunt, you have all contributed, so of course you have to share the money!"

Ji Xiaobei said with a smile.

Aunt Song wiped her tears and swore with gritted teeth: "I, Song Maoer, will follow Ji Xiaobei in this life. We may not be born on the same day, but we must die on the same day..."

Ji Xiaobei grabbed her and tried to stop her.

"Bei, am I wrong? Let me rephrase it. If we didn't die on the same day and year, it doesn't seem right to be born on the same day and year..."

Aunt Song raised two fingers to the sky, thinking hard.

Ji Xiaobei tried hard to hold back his laughter and held her hand down: "Aunt Song Maoer, this oath cannot be made casually..."

"I didn't swear this casually. I had already thought about it when I came to Anzhou!" Aunt Song's face turned red with anxiety, "How about we become sworn sisters now!"

Ji Xiaobei suppressed his laughter, pulled her to sit down and said, "Aunt Song, I understand what you are thinking. When we have money in the future, we will make money together. If we become sisters, the hierarchy will be messed up. I will call you sister and Uncle Laohei uncle..."

Aunt Song said seriously: "Our relationship has nothing to do with men. We two sisters are going to get married now."

There were incense burning on the table, offerings to the God of Land, and cushions placed on the ground. It was truly the right time, the right place, and the right people.

Aunt Song fell to her knees with a thud.

Ji Xiaobei was also a man of temperament. He knelt on the mat, holding his stomach.

The two men kowtowed three times to the God of Land.

Second and Third Wife Ji, who had just entered, were frightened and hurriedly helped Ji Xiaobei up.

"Aunt Ji, from now on Ji Xiaobei is my sister..."

Aunt Song smiled brightly.

"Grandma, this is my sister!" Ji Xiaobei brushed the dust off his hands and smiled brightly.

Second and Third Nainai Ji were so angry that they gritted their teeth. They were grandmothers, otherwise they would have become sworn brothers with Ji Xiaobei.

"Grandma, we are all family. We share hardships and make money together..."

Ji Xiaobei held their hands and said that she would not leave them behind.

Aunt Song measured Ji Xiaobei's size.

She asked Aunt Song to make two for Jiaojiao and send them to her after she was busy in the next few days.

She hadn't been to Ruo Xiaolian's house for a long time. Last time, she asked Caixia to send her some snow pear loquat paste. Caixia came back and said that her wife was getting lazier and didn't get enough sleep every day.

When Aunt Song and the others heard that they were going to make clothes for the noble lady Jiaojiao, they were both surprised and nervous.

Ji Xiaobei drove Ma Debiao and took Mrs. Lin to the South City.

As soon as Ji Xiaobei entered the door, he saw Ah Huang cleaning the yard.

When Ah Huang saw Ji Xiaobei, he hurriedly saluted.

Ji Xiaobei told him about the situation in the workshop and gave him a set of keys to the warehouse.

Ah Huang said in a low voice somewhat unnaturally: "Weaving, I don't know how to do it!"

"You just do what I tell you to do. Do whatever your old lady tells you to do. If the textile workshop makes any money, old lady Fu and I will share half."

Only then did Ah Huang feel relieved.

Ji Xiaobei told him about his wages, and Ah Huang hurriedly shook his head: "I am a servant of the Fu family. I get a monthly allowance, not wages!"

Ji Xiaobei explained for a long time that what the Fu family gave was what the Fu family gave, and what the workshop gave was because of your labor.

Ah Huang frowned and shook his head firmly...

Nanny Zhang came out of the kitchen and knelt down when she saw Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei hurriedly supported her.

Nanny Zhang and the others didn't know that Fu Jichang was injured.

Ji Xiaobei said he wanted to go out for a walk, and then he walked to the yard where Fu Jichang lived.

Just then, Huang Po and Lian Feng came out of the yard.

"I wanted to turn over and dry the medicinal herbs, but was chased out by the Black Tower. He said that his master had something to do..." Grandma Huang muttered to herself as she passed by Ji Xiaobei.
