The little ancestor of the family

Mrs. Zhang curled her lips and said, "Mother can see clearly that this woman doesn't like Xiao Huaian at all.

Although she entered the Xiao family, the two of them never had their wedding night.

As long as you take the initiative and succeed, this woman will definitely be too ashamed to stay in the Xiao family.

When the time comes, if our family takes her in, she will be very grateful.”

"Mom, I can marry her, but she is too ugly. I have to marry a prettier one in the future." Zhang Dashan said reluctantly.

"Of course, she is married for the second time in our family, how can she be worthy of you? In the future, ask her family to give you more subsidies, and I will decide for you to marry a beautiful one!"

"Row!"

Zhang Dashan chuckled.

The next day, just after dawn, Yunbian Village began to become lively.

The women made fires and cooked, while the men went to the fields in the dew to do some farm work.

Because in a while, they will go to the mountains to dig stones together?

Changsheng took a steamed bun from the kitchen to eat on the way. Before leaving, he deliberately stuck his head back and asked Ye Xinran: "Aunt, our village really found a new water source!"

Ye Xinran answered while cooking: "Yes, there is a lot of water on the mountain!"

Changsheng's eyes lit up: "That's good now, let's see how those guys from Donggou Village can still show off!"

"Eat some food before you leave, there's still time!"

Ye Xinran swiftly served the braised pork and purple yam from the pot.

"No, I'm happy to have steamed buns to eat!" Changsheng said and was about to leave again.

Ye Xinran snatched the steamed bun from his hand and said, "What's the point of just eating steamed buns?"

She broke the steamed bun into two halves, picked up the meat and vegetables with chopsticks and placed them in the middle of the bun, then put the bun back together.

"Eat it, it tastes better this way."

Changsheng looked at the steamed buns and vegetables that Ye Xinran had prepared, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "Auntie still has a way."

After seeing Changsheng off, Changan and Changping also got up. They went outside to cut some grass and came back to feed the chickens and geese. Then they washed their hands and prepared to have breakfast.

Xiao Huaian cut two bamboos and separated the chicken coop and the goose coop a little in the middle.

"I see they always fight, it would be better if they were separated," he explained.

Although Xiao Huaian is not good at cooking, he does other housework quite well.

"Let's make a nest for the chickens to lay eggs tomorrow."

Ye Xinran suggested.

"The hen laid three eggs yesterday. One was crushed, and the shells of the other two eggs were covered in chicken shit."

"it is good!"

Xiao Huaian didn't know how to do this job, but he still agreed.

After breakfast, the village head called the villagers to go to the mountain to work. Before leaving, he asked Ye Xinran to help him write down: 4 people from the Xiao family, 4 people from Zhang Shuanzhu's family, 3 people from Zhang Erniu's family...

All the people are recorded in the register.

"The more effort you put in, the more preferential treatment you will receive. I will not only record who has put in the most effort in my notebook, but also keep it in my heart."

"Uncle Lizheng, don't worry. Although I came here alone, I can use the strength of two people."

"Uncle Lizheng, my father didn't come, so I took care of his share of the work."

With the water source, everyone was in a good mood and was particularly motivated when climbing up the mountain.

When they reached the rock, the village head gave the order: "Let's start digging. The sooner we dig to the village, the sooner we can get water to our fields."

"okay!"

Everyone gathered together, you dug yours and I dug mine, and soon, the ditch from the mountain down was crooked into an eight-shaped shape.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

The head of the village shouted loudly.

These people are indeed active, but their work level is a bit low.

"You can't dig like this." The village head wanted to say something, but heard a deep male voice saying, "We have to follow the rules when doing things. If we set the rules first, there won't be any chaos."

The head of the village looked up and saw that it was Xiao Huaian.

He immediately said, "Come on, Huai'an, tell us how to set this rule!"

Xiao Huaian just couldn't stand this messy scene and mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect that the head of the village would bring this matter to him.

He didn't want to speak at first, but when he looked up and saw Ye Xinran looking at him expectantly, he had to continue: "You can't dig a canal blindly. You have to study the route first, divide it into several sections according to the route, and each person is responsible for a section. After each person digs the section they are responsible for, it will naturally become a canal!"

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean. Who asked you to get together?" the village head said immediately.

Then I will go study the route with Huaian first, and you can dig after we have drawn the route. "

Xiao Huaian and the village head walked the route again, marked the appropriate locations, and walked up again.

"Now everyone pick up their tools and line up one by one. Each person digs ten feet away, and then moves on after digging."

"Just do as the village head uncle says!"

With a commander, the job becomes easier.

The mountain is covered with lush vegetation and many rocks, so it is very difficult to dig a canal.

The whole family worked together in each segment.

The men cut down trees and dug ditches, while the women and children helped to clear away what they had dug out and to tidy up the ditches.

Xiao Huaian was holding a hoe. Although it was not very convenient to use, he dug much faster than others.

Ye Xinran and Changping Changan helped him pick up the broken stones and grass roots. By the time they had dug ten feet, the people on both sides had only dug less than half.

Xiao Huaian packed up his things and continued to dig the next section.

Ye Xinran led the two children and walked slowly down. When they went around a big tree, she suddenly found a familiar plant hidden behind the tree. Ye Xinran rubbed her eyes, a little bit unbelievable. It was Luo Saozi!

Luosaozi is an annual herb with three forks growing from a thin stem, and three heart-shaped leaves growing on each fork. Luosaozi is the name of its fruit.

It usually blooms in May and matures in August. This hibiscus is hidden behind a big tree. The purple buds are about to bloom, swaying gently in the wind.

This is really hard to find, and it takes no effort to get there.

She had come here specifically to look for Luo Saozi before, but couldn't even find any trace of her. Now, by chance, she ran into her.

Ye Xinran didn't even bother to chase Xiao Huaian. She squatted down and started digging.

"Aunt, do you like purple flowers?"

Changan asked in confusion.

Ye Xinran: "Yes, but Auntie only likes this kind of purple flowers."

"There's another one over there. I'll go dig it up for my aunt." Chang'an saw a similar flower not far away and ran over immediately. Changping followed him and started digging with him.

The surrounding villagers saw Ye Xinran digging grass on the mountain and immediately attracted her attention. They asked, "Madam Ye, what are you digging this for? Is this edible?"

Ye Xinran did not hide it and said, "This is not for eating, it is a medicinal herb. Chang'an is in poor health, and I want to dig it up to treat Chang'an."

"It's used to treat children! Let me see what it looks like. If I see it later, I'll dig it out for you!" Erdan's mother came forward to take a look.
