I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

There was a charcoal basin lit in the main room. As soon as they entered the room, a warm breeze rushed towards them, instantly dispelling the chill on people's bodies. Several people sat around the table to rest. Ye Qiulan poured a bowl of hot water for each of them and placed it in front of them: "Auntie, drink a bowl of hot water to warm yourself up first."

Zhou: "Okay, you should sit down and take a rest, stop working so hard."

"Well, I'm not busy."

Old Lady Ye took some snacks out of the house, opened the oil paper package, picked up a piece of mung bean cake and handed it to Zhao Cheng with a smile: "Here, take it and eat it."

Zhao Cheng subconsciously looked up at Zhou, who said with a smile, "This is given to you by Ye's grandmother. Take it."

After getting permission, Zhao Cheng dared to take the snack given by Old Lady Ye, put it to his mouth and took a bite, squinting his eyes happily: "Good."

"Haha, you're so good!" Old Lady Ye touched Zhao Cheng's little face and said with a smile, "If it tastes good, eat a few more pieces. Grandma has other things here."

Zhao Cheng nodded his head with sparkling eyes, his mouth stuffed full of snacks, just like a little hamster.

"Come, take some and eat to fill your stomach first." Old Mrs. Ye waved to Zhao Guoer and the others.

"Eat, it's okay." Zhao Li stuffed the snacks into the hands of Zhao Guoer and Zhao Gong, and then handed them to Zhao Qian and Liu. Under normal circumstances, they could still hold them, but today they had been busy all day and had not eaten yet. They were already hungry, so they took the snacks handed over by Zhao Li and tasted a piece each.

Zhao Li took another piece and fed it to Zhou. Zhou couldn't refuse, so she had to take a bite.

Old Lady Ye smiled and said, "You are so lucky to have a caring daughter like Li'er."

Zhou: "Li'er is lucky to marry into a family like your Ye family, who is so easy to get along with."

The two patriarchs praised each other, and for a moment the atmosphere in the main room was very cheerful.

After coming to the Ye family for a while, she still didn't see the Ye family's children. Zhou couldn't help but wonder: "Huh? Why don't I see the children at home?"

"They are all studying in the study," Old Lady Ye said with a smile, "It seems like it's time for them to come out."

"Oh." Zhou nodded. She had heard Li'er say before that the Ye family had hired a teacher to teach them.

Zhao Li took the opportunity to say, "Mother, why don't we let Guo'er and Gong'er study together starting tomorrow?"

Old Lady Ye agreed and said, "Okay, wait for Li Ge'er and the others to come back later, let them get to know each other first, and then go to the study together tomorrow."

Zhao Gong(|| ?Д?): “…” I’m already twelve years old, and you want me to go to school?

Zhao Guoer (???︿???): "......" It's fine if my second brother is a boy, but why did he drag me into it? Didn't he even ask for my opinion?

"When people are born, their nature is good. Natures are similar, but habits make them different..."

Just as several people in the main room were talking about the children's reading, there was a sound of children reciting suddenly, coming from far away and getting closer.

Daya can now walk much more steadily. In the afternoon, Mrs. Meng took her to the study to play. Now she is just finishing school with her brothers and sisters.

Ye Wenli and his companions walked into the main hall while reciting their lessons. When they saw so many people in the hall, the younger ones stopped in their tracks and blocked the door.

Meng was holding Daya and walking behind them. She looked at them strangely and asked, "Why don't you go in?"

Ye Wenli took the lead and walked into the main hall: "Grandma, little aunt, aunt..."

Daya struggled out of Meng's arms, ran straight to Old Lady Ye and hugged her thighs.

Old Lady Ye smiled and picked up her granddaughter, saying, "This is your Grandma Zhou, and those are Uncle Zhao Qian and Uncle Zhao Gong, Aunt Liu, and Aunt Guo'er, come over and call them."

"Oh, hello, Grandma Zhou, Uncle Zhao Qian, Uncle Zhao Gong, Aunt Liu." Ye Wenli politely greeted the Zhao family. When it was Zhao Guoer's turn, they really couldn't call out, so they whispered in an uncertain tone: "Guoer...Aunt?"

She looks about the same age as Xiaomai, and they actually want to call her aunt? emmmmm

"Oh, good, you are so polite. Your mother-in-law is so lucky! Look how well-shaped these children are," Zhou said embarrassedly, "Grandma came in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare any gifts for you. How about giving each of you a few copper coins to buy candy?" As Zhou spoke, she handed the copper coins to the children, even some for the wood.

Mu Tou stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether he should accept the gift from Grandma Zhou.

"It's given to you by Grandma Zhou, so take it." Mrs. Meng said, "Thank you, Aunt Zhou."

Old Lady Ye introduced with a smile: "This is our Master Meng, and this is Mu Tou, the son of Master Meng."

After another round of polite conversation, Mrs. Meng said, "It's getting late. I'll go prepare dinner. Aunt, you guys can chat first. Dinner will be ready soon."

Ye Qiulan: "I'll go with you."

"Ah."

"Let me help too." Liu hesitated. She didn't know how long she would have to stay in the Ye family. She couldn't just wait for food, right?

"Okay, come on." Ye Qiulan didn't bother to be polite with her. Zhao Li's family members were all honest people. The more polite you were to them, the more uncomfortable they would feel. It would be better to be open and honest.

Zhou looked at Zhao Li and asked, "Aren't you going to help with cooking?"

Zhao Li didn’t understand what my mother meant at all: Why are you looking at me?

Zhou secretly observed Old Lady Ye's expression, and it seemed that she didn't mind Zhao Li not working. It was obvious that Zhao Li seldom cooked, and even seldom worked!

Oh my god, has her daughter married into a happy family?

......

Ye Qiulan and the other two had just arrived at the kitchen when Lin and the others came over. There were many people cooking, so they cooked quickly.

Dinner was divided into two tables. There was no shortage of rice, flour, meat and eggs at home. With the Zhao family present, Lin was not stingy this time and simply prepared eight dishes and a soup. She also heated up a small pot of wine on the man's table.

At the dinner table, Old Lady Ye and Mrs. Zhou ate and chatted, and did not forget to pick up some meat for Zhao Li, telling her to eat more as she was too thin.

Zhao Li nodded and shared the meat in her bowl with Xiaomai and Xiaocao, asking them to help with the eating.

Now Zhou finally understood where her daughter got the confidence to bring them to the Ye family. Old Mrs. Ye, the mother-in-law, treated Zhao Li even better than her own mother!

Her daughter is so lucky!

At night, the Zhao family was arranged to stay in the backyard. There was a charcoal brazier that had been lit in advance in the room. It was warm as soon as they entered the house, and the bedding on the bed was all newly made cotton quilts.

The room is a suite, with a small hall outside that can be used as a study. Inside is a bedroom with a rear window, and there is a bathroom connected to the bedroom. The toilet is in the room in the corner outside, with stone tiles on the floor. It can be flushed with water at any time, so it is clean.

This stunned the Zhao family. Can a house be built like this?

Upon learning that Zhao Li did not live there, Zhou, Liu, and Zhao Guoer could not resist their curiosity and went with Zhao Li to take a look around her small building.
