The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

"Hey, hey, hey! Xiaoqi, how many did you count?" As Cheng Xiaoqi's mother, Li Huaxiang couldn't help but remind Cheng Xiaoqi that this boy had been led astray by Xiaoba.

"Mom, it's 14!" Cheng Xiaoqi didn't realize at all that he had been led astray by Cheng Xiaoba.

Old Mrs. Cheng and the other two daughters-in-law quickly lowered their heads and suppressed their laughter. Then they secretly looked at the other two and dared not say a word.

"Then think about it again, how many 14s did you count!" Li Huaxiang reminded.

"15, 16, 14...

Ah! Cheng Xiaoba, you are poisonous! Stay away from me, you little troublemaker! "Cheng Xiaoqi finally reacted.

He stood up immediately and stayed away from Cheng Xiaoba, but his words sounded disdainful, yet there was a hint of helplessness and doting in his tone.

The Cheng family members were trying to hold back their laughter when they saw this scene, but Cheng Yu made the final move. She waved her lotus root-like little arms (purely because they were fat) and pointed at Xiao Ba, “Ba Guo...eggs...eggs!”, with a disgusted expression on her face, which was both cute and funny.

The Cheng family couldn't stop laughing. These little guys were so funny.

Five and Six also repeated Little Seven's words: "Little Eight, you are a troublemaker!" Their disgusted little expressions were exactly the same as Little Seven's. The four little faces (five, six, seven, and nine) put together were so cute.

So everyone laughed even more happily. After the commotion, Cheng Xiaoba started his career of cheating again, adding a lot of laughter to the Cheng family.

However, the Cheng family, who lived only across a wall from the Cheng family, were in a state of gloom. The ridges of their breeding fields were not well maintained and collapsed due to waterlogging, and a lot of seeds also flowed out with the water.

At this time, Lin Pandi was even more furious when she heard the laughter of the Cheng family next door! She glared at her granddaughters and walked towards her son's room.

Cheng Pandi pushed the door but failed to open it, so she slammed it loudly.

"You lazy woman, you're still sleeping even after the rain has stopped. If you don't take your money-losing bastards and your father-in-law to collect the seeds, you and your mother will be left starving!!" Even though her own son was also lying in the house being lazy, she only called on her daughter-in-law to get up and work.

Zhao Yun's mother and her two sisters-in-law listened to the noise coming from next door and secretly felt lucky that the Cheng family they married into was not the Cheng family next door. Then they used sweet words to coax their mother-in-law, and everyone became happy again when they saw this.

The Liu family at the head of the village was not having an easy time either. The sixth child of the Liu family was only one month younger than Cheng Yu, but at the moment he was like a cat, unable to even walk steadily. He looked pale and thin, with dry and yellow hair, and it was obvious that he was malnourished.

"Grandma, can you give Xiaoliu some thick porridge? She is in too poor health." The six little girls were drinking the thin porridge. Daya said to Old Lady Liu. She was very afraid that her younger sister would die young.

"Eat, eat, eat. It's good enough to have thin porridge. I want thicker ones? We don't have them! After you finish drinking, go to the fields to drain the ditch. Especially you, who can't even give birth to a son, carry water in to help my son wash his face!" Old Lady Liu spoke harsh words one after another. The thick porridge was for her son.

After the sixth child was born and it was confirmed to be a girl, all the housework was done by Liu's daughter-in-law and several granddaughters, and the clothes in the house were washed by the children.

Cheng family:

Around ten o'clock, the sun slowly came out, and the Cheng family gathered together again, changed into old clothes, and went to the backyard to turn the soil and plant vegetables.

In the backyard, Cheng Yu and Cheng Xiaoba also changed into their brothers' old clothes. Cheng Yu was put into the basket in the corner (which Grandpa Cheng made specially for Cheng Yu, with a few old clothes inside). Cheng Xiaoba watched over his sister, digging mud with his hands.

One ridge, two plots... Li Huaxiang quickly turned the ground over, and then came to the small piece of land that Cheng Yu wanted yesterday.

Li Huaxiang didn't know that this land was the one that Cheng's father and son promised to leave to Cheng Yu, so she immediately started to turn over the soil and planned to dig holes to plant beans.

When she finished turning the ground and was about to dig a hole, she saw a little white ball stumbling towards her, patting her chest and saying, "Earth! Earth! Woo... Woo!"

Li Huaxiang was immediately so moved by the cuteness that her face turned red. She put down the hoe, picked up Cheng Yu, and walked towards Old Man Cheng.

"Dad, Xiaojiu asked for that piece of land. Is that okay?" He walked to Grandpa Cheng and asked, pointing to a piece of land.

"Oh, I forgot. I'll take Xiaojiu to do it now. You come here to put the seeds." After saying that, he handed the seeds in his hand to Li Huaxiang, then reached out to take Cheng Yu and walked towards the land that Li Huaxiang had turned over.

Old Master Cheng placed Cheng Yu on the bank of the small reservoir where Cheng Xiaoba had played last night (the bank was almost dry after being exposed to the sun, especially the part that Cheng Xiaoba had polished smooth by himself, which was now just right for Cheng Yu to sit on).

After Cheng Yu sat down steadily, Grandpa Cheng used a hoe to dig a not very deep ditch as Cheng Yu requested. Then Cheng Yu pointed to the backpack and asked the old man to take out the sweet potato vines and put them in and cover them with soil.

"Little girl, what is this?" The old man looked at the familiar leaves and couldn't remember what it was, so he asked.

"Sweet potato vine!" Cheng Yu opened his big round eyes and said to Grandpa Cheng in his heart.

"Ah? Sweet potato vines? Is this the kind of sweet potatoes that Lord Zheng brought back from Fanwai last year?" Old Master Cheng asked in surprise. He had heard that sweet potatoes were currently only being planted on a trial basis around the capital.

Cheng Yu nodded, and Old Man Cheng immediately started planting happily.

No wonder they said they looked familiar. Their eldest grandson once brought back some sweet potatoes from the capital when he was escorting a caravan. At that time, the whole family was so curious about them that they couldn't bear to eat them. They only cooked them when they grew leaves. They tasted very good.

After a while, Grandpa Cheng had planted all the sweet potato vines. Cheng Yu looked at the wall of the backyard again. The earth wall was too low. How about planting some corn?

It can be used to test whether corn can survive here, and at the same time it can block other people's sight. It is inconvenient to live in the center of the village.

"Master, I have new seeds. Come on, go to Lanlan!" Cheng Yu excitedly cheered in his heart.

Old Master Cheng picked her up, walked to the corner, took out the seeds, and planted a circle of corn along the wall according to Cheng Yu's request.

"Cheng Xiaoba! Stop it!" When everyone was busy, Cheng Xiaoba started his outrageous actions again.

He saw his grandfather and sister dig a hole with a hoe, plant the green Teng Teng in it, and cover it with soil. His grandfather told his sister that it would grow fruits.

Then he saw the hole that the three Cheng brothers had dug to plant yam. He thought his body was a little small compared to the hole. So he used a stick to dig a bigger hole while the adults were not paying attention, and then planted himself in it! Yes, he planted himself!

Jump into the pit and cover yourself with soil! Not enough soil? Add some more! Then bury yourself.

"Mom, mom, look, if you plant a small eight, you will get a small eight!" This silly boy looked like, "Look how smart I am," which made everyone angry and amused.

"..." Lin Pan'er held her forehead and looked at her silly husband beside her. This cleverness couldn't be inherited from her, it must be from her husband!

“Hahahaha…” Cheng Yu laughed so hard in Grandpa Cheng’s arms that his teeth were showing, and his chubby little hands were dancing with excitement.

The four people who could hear her inner voice heard her singing a catchy nursery rhyme in her heart: "Dig and dig in the little backyard, dig a big hole to plant a fat little Eight, tie a big George, pull up George and play, play, play..."

The four of them lost themselves in the sound of George fighting and hitting, especially the three who knew that George was Piggy, their lips twitched even more.

"Pan'er, let them play. The sun is nice today. You can give them a bath later! Xiaowu, you can take a rest if you want." said Old Mrs. Cheng.

There is nothing to say about my grandchildren, they are hardworking and sensible, but they are only seven or eight years old, especially the little one who is only five years old.

"Okay, Grandma. Xiaoba, the brothers are here!" A group of little boys rushed towards Cheng Xiaoba.

"Ah! Don't come over here!" Cheng Xiaoba successfully planted his feet into the ground and now he can't pull them out.

The adults were even more delighted to see this. Grandpa Cheng also sent Cheng Yu to live with his brothers and started growing beans again.

Cheng Yu found the driest ridge and sat there, watching with a smile. Cheng Xiaoba was buried so hard by his brothers that he couldn't even move his hands and feet...

Then she started singing in her heart again: "Dig and dig in the small backyard, dig a small hole and plant the big Cheng Xiaoba..." By the end, even Zhao Yunniang could sing it and could not look directly at Cheng Xiaoba.

There is strength in numbers. Before the sun was high in the sky, the Cheng family had already prepared the land in the backyard and now they were just waiting for the seeds to germinate.

Lin Paner fished her own son out of the yam pit, but the son was rolling around like a piglet and could not be kept.

After Cheng Yu was born, her son's health gradually improved and he became stronger and stronger, so now he is as naughty as a monkey.

What the Cheng family didn't know was that Cheng Yu put spiritual spring water in the water tank used for cooking every day, which would be a problem if he was in poor health.

After the Cheng family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cleaned the pot for cooking pigs, they boiled a large pot of water, then took four large basins and placed them under a big tree. The men diluted the water and began to wash the piglets.

Oh no! It's time to wash the baby.
