Congratulations, you have a daughter. I hope you will wake up with a smile in your sleep tonight.

Now that we are in Xiaotian Village, we are the children of the village, so you can rest assured, Mrs. He.

Xia Yining listened attentively and also looked at the villagers. He found that most of the villagers were simple and nice, which made a better impression on him.

What she didn't know was that a few annoying ones happened to be away.

She always remembered that the little brother reminded her again and again before he left that she must never show her dimples in public. She also remembered that when she asked why, He Xinglang had an indescribable expression on his face and did not say anything.

At this moment, she looked like a typical lady, smiling without showing her teeth and slightly pursing her lips.

Naturally, he received praise from the women in the village, and they all wanted to praise him to the sky.

Even Xia Yining felt that it was great that he knew it, and was so flattered by the praise. So there are no words that cannot be used to praise, there are only people who don't want to praise.

The men arrived at He's house first, but they didn't go into the yard because they wanted to slaughter a wild boar. Since there were many people who knew how to slaughter pigs near the mountains, they coordinated with each other and moved quickly.

After the whole wild boar is scalded in hot water, the hair is removed and the belly is cut open. The internal organs are put into a bucket and divided into two pieces of pork, one of which is taken out and sold to the villagers.

Knowing that they would have a big pot meal in the evening, the women went home first to get some vegetables, as well as tables, chairs and benches. Even Zheng Lizheng from Xiaotian Village came.

Looking at the lively scene, he said with a smile, "Old He, you are so lucky. You have such a big wild boar, and the meat is so fat."

Old Man He had just killed a pig, and his hands were dirty. He waved his hand at him and said, "We are all family, so do as you please."

Hearing this, Zheng Lizheng handed the vegetables to the person next to him and said with a smile: "It's okay, don't be so polite here. Give me three pounds of meat. I want to make dumplings for my family."

The situation of every household in Xiaotian Village is similar. Zheng Lizheng's family is not very wealthy, but they can eat meat several times a year, which makes things much better.

"Buying so much meat at one time? Not going to celebrate?" Old man He raised his eyebrows slightly and teased him, always feeling that things were not that simple.

Zheng Lizheng looked around quietly, leaned over to his ear and whispered, "This is my private money. If your sister-in-law finds out, I can't keep it anymore!"

After he finished speaking, anyone with a discerning eye could see his heartache, reluctance, and unwillingness.

Old man He laughed out loud when he heard the news. Everyone in Xiaotian Village knew that Zheng Lizheng liked to hide his private money, and his old wife at home had a way to do it, so she let him hide it.

When the amount reaches a certain level, they will take it out and ask Zheng Lizheng to buy meat for him, which can be regarded as improving the family's food.

The things that he knew when he was a child about these two people from their youth to now are now exactly the same as before after so many years.

Zheng Lizheng was a little unhappy because he was being laughed at. No one could understand his pain. He couldn't help but snorted coldly and pointed at the best pork belly.

"Come on, come on, just cut this one hard, and make Old Man He feel bad."

It has long been no secret in the village that Zheng Lizheng likes to hide his own money. Looking at the conversation between the two people, they can guess it almost exactly.

They all smiled and said, "Okay, okay, we will definitely give you a big hug so that Uncle He won't be able to sleep at night."

Outside the yard, men were gathering together to have fun. Those who had money would always buy something, even if it was just a few taels.

Those who had no money would also run home as fast as they could, or meet children returning home to deliver letters.

There are quite a lot of people in Xiaotian Village, with more than a hundred households, and half of the pig was divided up cleanly.

The children kept circling around the pigs and were reluctant to leave, especially Liang Ge'er and Ming Ge'er's friends, who all looked at them with envy.

"Your family is so nice, there is so much pork."

"Can't we eat it every day? Every meal?"

"My mother told me that the stewed meat is delicious and rich in fat. After eating it, you can have a sweet dream when you go to bed."

After a busy day in the mountains, the two brothers were really tired. If they hadn’t wanted to eat the pig-killing dish, they would have gone back to their room and gone to bed early.

Seeing that his friends were envious of him, he forced himself to smile, and the two brothers leaned against each other and almost fell asleep.

It was when Xia Yining came out that she saw her nephew almost falling headfirst to the ground, which frightened her to death.

A head injury is no small matter, so he quickly ran forward to let them lean on him, shouting at the top of his voice: "Dad~~~ come quickly."

The little girl had a sweet voice and lively eyes. She was supporting the two children of the He family with her whole body. Even though her face was a little dark, her facial features were still beautiful.

Old Man He hurried over, hugged his eldest grandson in his arms, and looked at her with concern, "Ning'er, you are too stressed out by the two of them, right? Don't try to hold yourself up next time."

"It's okay for boys to fall once. The more they fall, the tougher they become."

Zheng Lizheng followed closely behind him and looked at Xia Yining. He had heard villagers mention it at home in the past few days, saying that a relative had come to the He family, but...

No matter how he looked at her, he felt that the little girl had a kind of noble air about her, and she didn't look like she could be born by any of the He family's relatives.

Older people always like children. What's more, he is always smiling and his words are very soft, which makes people feel close to him unconsciously.

"Are you the daughter of old man He? You are really good-looking. According to seniority, you should call me Grandpa Zheng."

Xia Yining: “?”

She looked at him in horror. What? Call him grandpa?

From her expression, one can tell what she is thinking. Zheng Lizheng found it funny and teased her intentionally, "Don't be fooled by my youthful appearance. I am much older than your father."

Old Man He: “…”

I rolled my eyes speechlessly. This old guy just loves to tease children and his words are still so inappropriate.

Looking at her, he whispered softly, "Ning'er, don't listen to his nonsense. Just call him Uncle Zheng. This way it seems closer."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yining's body instinctively began to salute, but halfway through she froze in place, feeling regretful.

She was just an ordinary farmer, how could she understand these people? She squatted on the ground, feeling like crying but without tears.

Even so, it did not escape the eyes of Zheng Lizheng. He often went to towns and had some experience, which just proved his guess.

He smiled and said, "You must be tired after climbing the mountain. How can you squat here? Go back to the house and rest."

"We in Xiaotian Village are all people who love children. Uncle Zheng will be criticized for eating meat and taking up your rest time."

He looked at the little girl and saw that she had bright eyes and was obviously smart. From the way she saluted, he was afraid that she had encountered some trouble and that was why she was at Old He's house.

This sentence is meant to tell her to stay in the village with peace of mind. Now that she is in the village, she will naturally be protected.

Xia Yining looked up at him with a lovely smile, and replied, "Uncle Zheng is right. The people in the village are all good. Ning'er looks very happy and sleeps soundly at home."
