"Didn't you see the boss when you came here?" Zhao Guizhi thought that Yan Zhenshen had been out for not long, so she should have run into him.

"I saw it." Aunt Yan smiled and said, "He was walking towards the village in a hurry, and there was a hunting dog following him. But before I could call for help, he entered the village, so I didn't call for him again."

Zhao Guizhi was afraid that Yan Sangu would think that the eldest brother didn't take them seriously, so she quickly tried to make amends, "My eldest brother has become more unstable after becoming a father. All he has eyes for is his little brother. I'm afraid he's in a hurry to finish his work and come back to take care of the child."

Aunt Yan Sangu would naturally not find fault with her own children, and she said this mainly for her third brother-in-law to hear.

At this time, all the men were not at home, and my third brother-in-law didn't say much except glancing at the child.

While the two women were chatting happily, he stood up and looked around the new house. He had to say it was really well built.

He didn't go towards the courtyard, but he could see the two-story building inside. There were not many people who built two-story buildings in their area, mainly because the houses were too tall, and it took too much firewood to heat the house in winter.

"I'll go to the backyard and take a look." The third brother-in-law said to Zhao Guizhi. Going to the backyard still requires the consent of the head of the family.

"Hey, Third Brother-in-law, those wild goats in the backyard are quite fierce, you better be careful."

The family has fed the two rams well, so they usually don't react when the sheep pen is cleaned. But a few days ago, Wang Wu went to touch them and was nearly gored by the sheep. Fortunately, he was young and reacted quickly, so he dodged. If he had been gored, he would have been unable to work for several days.

Even if the Wang family doesn't say anything, they must be uncomfortable in their hearts. They came to participate in the baby's baptism ceremony, and they have to go back with injuries.

There are quite a lot of livestock in the Yan family's backyard, including cows, sheep, pigs and chickens. The backyard door is open at this moment, and the cows are eating grass on the wasteland behind the yard.

The grass grows more luxuriantly in the composted area. Even if the cow doesn't graze there, this piece of land will be enough for it to eat for ten days or half a month.

The calf was lying by the courtyard wall to enjoy the cool air, and when it saw a stranger coming, it kept mooing.

This is because he has been hanging out with wolf cubs for a long time and has learned some of their alertness.

Although the third uncle was a peddler, he also did farm work. Since there was nothing to do in the front yard, he picked up a broom and started helping clean the chicken coop and sheep shed.

Zhao Guizhi chatted for a while, then remembered the pig's feet stewed in the kitchen, and quickly got up to take a look.

Aunt Yan also followed in and said after smelling the food, "Your stewed pig's trotters are delicious. Your cooking skills are much better than mine. My eldest daughter-in-law doesn't like the food I cook. When she was in confinement, she invited her in-laws to come over and cook for her."

When Zhao Guizhi heard this, she knew that Yan Sangu was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law, so she said, "That's right, you didn't see my backyard. In order to nourish Xiao'er's body, I went to the village to exchange several old hens, but when I came back, I insisted that I had enough chicken soup, so I had to stew pig's trotters for a change."

Then he laughed again: "A few days ago, Xiao Ge wanted to eat shrimp, so my eldest brother went to the mountains to catch some for him. He left before dawn and came back after dark."

"It's not worth all the trouble just for stuttering."

Yan Sangu originally liked Xiao Ge'er very much, but when she heard this, she immediately felt that he was a naughty child. She gave birth to a little boy and asked for this and that. If her daughter-in-law was like this, she would not indulge her.

"Why not?" Zhao Guizhi closed the pot and turned around. "It's just some food and drink. We have the conditions now, so we don't need a bite of food. The confinement period is supposed to be a good time to nourish the body. If he doesn't want to eat or doesn't like to eat, then why force him."

"That's too much." Yan Sangu was still not very happy. Since ancient times, daughters-in-law have served their mothers-in-law. How could a mother-in-law worship her daughter-in-law? She was afraid that no one would take what she said seriously in the future.

"But not as much as your fourth brother before, who was in a life-and-death situation every day."

Zhao Guizhi is now very happy cooking and washing clothes all day and does not feel tired at all.

It’s not like when Yan Zhengdao was just injured. He had to take care of his excrement and urine every day, but he was not happy about it. He always said that he was useless and just let him fend for himself.

She was really exhausted during that period, which was more unbearable than the hard times of the following eight years.

Zhao Guizhi didn't want to talk about the past, so she showed her the silver bracelet on her wrist: "My Xiao brother is also very generous. He made some money from selling medicinal herbs two months ago, and he insisted on buying me a silver bracelet."

"You bought this last year." Yan Sangu had seen it during the Chinese New Year, and it was indeed different from the one on Zhao Guizhi's wrist.

"That's what I said. He bought it last year and he's going to buy it again this year. I'm afraid he spent all the money he earned on his family."

What Zhao Guizhi said sounded like Xiaoger didn't know how to live, but her actual meaning was that it was mutual. She was good to Xiaoger, and Xiaoger had nothing to say about her mother-in-law.

Of course, the most important thing is to show off. Since Yan Sangu is here, she will definitely go to see the other brothers of the Yan family. She just wants to let all the Yan family members know that it doesn’t matter if their man has a broken leg. Now that the child has grown up and has abilities, his life will not be worse than anyone else’s.

"Hey, the soup is almost done. Third sister, let me serve you a bowl to fill your stomach."

"Please don't. This is stewed for Xiao Ge'er. My food won't taste as good as mine." Yan Sangu refused to eat it, and Zhao Guizhi didn't force her. She just sat down and continued talking about family matters.

After a while, Yan Zhenshen came back. When he entered the yard, he was very happy to see Yan Sangu. His family didn't have many relatives who could visit, and Yan Sangu didn't come back very often in a year. Since she was here, she must be treated well.

"I didn't know that Third Aunt was coming. I should go to Wang Wu's place and catch a rabbit."

"We are all family, there is no need to be so polite." Third Aunt Yan did not come here to ask for money. She has been really concerned about her fourth brother's situation over the years. Seeing that he is living a better and better life now, she is very happy.

"Where is my third uncle?" Yan Zhenshen asked when he didn't see anyone.

"I've been in the backyard for a long time, and I don't know why he hasn't come out." Zhao Guizhi just remembered that there was such a person.

"I'll go and take a look." Yan Zhenshen put the bitter melon into the kitchen and walked towards the backyard.

When I got to the backyard and saw that my third uncle had cleaned the chicken coop and pigpen, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment: "Third uncle, stop it. Let's go to the village and call my father back."

The third uncle was not as silent to Yan Zhenshen as he was to Zhao Guizhi, "Where is your father doing?"

"Let's go to the village to play chess."

Because Yan Zhengdao's eldest grandson had not gone out for several days, he sat under the eaves every day, waiting anxiously to bring the child back home.

It was those bad chess players who came to call people, so we went together.

"He is living a comfortable life now." The third uncle also loves to play chess, but he usually has no time. Now he envy Yan Zhengdao very much. He doesn't have to worry about trivial matters at home and lives the life of an old man in his early forties.
