The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

Yuxi Village was completely unaware of the undercurrents in Changjing.

As winter was approaching, the Lin family hurried to expand the house and dug the foundation before the ground froze.

Next to the land was a small banana forest with a small patch of wild banana trees.

In the past, the banana trees did not bear fruit and grew very short and small.

But ever since Bai Xiang came to the village, the banana tree seemed to have suddenly eaten its fill and gathered enough energy. It began to grow stronger and its leaves stretched out.

When the summer heat comes in the middle of the year, many of the old and children in the village come here to cool off from the big locust tree in the threshing ground.

"After the house is built, there will be no need for a courtyard wall. The banana tree can be left there to grow. When the weather is hot, it will be convenient for everyone to enjoy the cool and chat." Mrs. Lin discussed with her husband.

How could Old Man Lin not agree? "I'll do as you say!"

This piece of land belongs to their family, and the banana trees happen to grow right there. Logically speaking, if they expand the house and clear the banana trees, they can make the land bigger, but the old woman has her way.

Just imagine that in the future the old guys in the village will gather and chat outside their houses. Hey, he can just take a pot of tea and a plate of peanuts and walk a few steps to join in the fun. It’s a wonderful thought.

General Xiao strongly agreed with the decision to preserve the banana trees.

He was one of those old fellows who liked to sit under the banana tree to enjoy the cool air.

"Leave me some space on the left side of the house and make a sandbox. When I have time, I will teach the children how to push the sandbox. I can also let them build sand castles and make a playground." The old general cleared his throat and said shamelessly, "By the way, leave me two rooms on the left side. You are all busy working in the fields and I happen to be free. I will help take care of the children at home."

Mrs. Lin and Old Man Lin smiled at each other and couldn't help laughing, "Stay, stay. Expand the house at the back for you and your mother-in-law to live in."

Otherwise, there would be no need to be in such a hurry to build a house. Winter is approaching and the children at home are still young, so the expansion can be postponed.

Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "And the house at the back was built with money from Sulan. It was her gift to you two."

The old general was stunned. He stared at the old couple of the Lin family for a long time, then covered his face and laughed to avoid being seen with tears in his eyes.

The daughter paid for the house to show her filial piety to her parents.

Just this one sentence dispelled the old general and his wife's feeling of being dependent on others.

The Lin family is kind and considerate, always taking care of people down to the smallest details.

A few elderly people were sitting in the yard, looking after their children and chatting.

Zhang Cui'e and Li Sulan were preparing lunch in the kitchen. Listening to the conversation outside, Zhang Cui'e was very envious.

"I used to think I was lucky. My parents didn't love me, but I had a good pair of parents-in-law and a good husband. Now I know that you are much luckier than me." Zhang Cui'e counted on her fingers, "You have a fairy-like daughter, a pair of chubby twin boys, and parents who love you so much..."

Zhang Cui'e was very depressed by this comparison. "I don't have a daughter. The two boys I gave birth to love their family less and less as they grow older. They are not considerate. I am the only one who is loved by my mother-in-law."

Li Sulan was trying not to laugh. She was kneading dough with her hands and directly splashed the flour on her sister-in-law's nose. She spat at her, "Who said that only mother-in-law loves you? Doesn't Erhe love you? Xiaosong and Xiaobai have childish minds, which is what they should have at this age. Are they unfilial? Look at how depressed you are."

Zhang Cui'e was still depressed and silent. How could it be the same? In the past, she always competed for favor with her eldest sister-in-law in front of her mother-in-law, and had some secret thoughts in mind.

I don't dare to argue anymore...

She had lost all ties with her family and had no father or mother.

My sister-in-law’s father is a general, and his fists are as big as sandbags!

Li Sulan was a kind-hearted woman, so how could she not understand her sister-in-law's thoughts? She pinched half of the dough and gave it to her, "Don't just stare blankly, get to work. We have to steam the buns in the afternoon. We have a big family, so we need to steam three or four steamers... Sister-in-law loves you, too, and no one can bully you. I can't say that my parents are also your parents, but if someone bullies you, my parents will definitely stand by you."

After a pause, she raised her smiling eyes and looked at the woman who was inexplicably stubborn. "If having so many people love you is not enough, then there are still the people in Yuxi Village. Who dares to bully you? Baixiang is the most protective of her people. If anyone dares to bully her second aunt, she will definitely bully them."

Zhang Cui'e couldn't hold it in, "Puff!"

I feel better.

That’s right, in Bai Xiang’s heart, her status is also very high.

"Sister-in-law, I'll make you a bun with lots of meat filling! I'll mark it, so watch out! I'll give you a reward to make me happy!"

Li Sulan, "..."

She's almost 30 years old, but her personality hasn't improved...

Sometimes I am more nitpicky than children.

Li Su smiled softly, her smile was relaxed and gentle. She actually understood that perhaps due to her natural influence, her sister-in-law felt insecure.

"Cui'e, there are more than a dozen people in our family, and each one is very important. We can't do without anyone. You are straightforward and cheerful, filial to your parents-in-law, loving to your children and nephews, and getting along well with your sisters-in-law. If it weren't for you these years, my dull personality wouldn't be able to bring so much laughter to the family. You are very important in this family, don't underestimate yourself, okay."

Zhang Cui'e grinned, full of energy, "Of course I know I'm important, sister-in-law, I'll give you another big meat bun!"

"..."

"Do you have enough money to build your house? If not, ask me! I'll lend it to you! I've saved up so much money!"

puff!

Look, isn’t this the nature of a child?

With a little praise, he will be so proud that he will reveal all his wealth to others.

There were two cradles at the door of the kitchen, and Old Madam Xiao was guarding the babies like an old hen guarding her roost, not moving a step.

The afternoon sun in early winter is not very strong. After basking in the sun for a while, your body will feel warm and comfortable.

Above the cradle, stones and mallets provided shade for the baby's head, and the baby was sleeping soundly.

When a baby is asleep, even the slightly moving nose is so adorable.

Autumn and winter collection.

In winter, all things hibernate, gathering energy and temporarily hiding their vast vitality under the cold wind and snow.

Just wait for spring to come, break through the ground, and continue another cycle.

During the winter, except for the men and women who went to work for the Lin family, the rest of the villagers liked to get together and chat during their free time.

I have been accumulating topics for half a year, and there is no way to finish talking about all the gossip about other people.

Granny Li was always the main gossipmonger. She took her little grandson to sit under a big locust tree in the threshing ground and was reluctant to go home until it was time for dinner.

"The rain has stopped and the sky is clear. Oh, my god, I can finally let go of my worry." Putting her two-year-old grandson down and letting him run and crawl around, Mrs. Li felt so relieved holding the teapot.

"The incident that the former provincial governor did caused the wine and tea workshops to have reduced orders for two or three months. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep well."

"It's good now. The orders have come back in multiples, more than before. Wenxiu and the others are so busy in the workshop, hahahaha!"

The villagers laughed and sighed, "Who wouldn't be worried during that time? We knew we were being wronged, it was so frustrating."
