I trade in both worlds

One morning, Lin Erya and Chen Lihua were at home busy with housework and taking care of the children. They didn't know about what happened in the Yang family. When they saw them come back, they were very curious and looked at Xu Youliang with a look of curiosity.

Xu Youliang looked at them speechlessly and nodded: "Let Yin tell you the details when he comes back. He has a very interesting story. Let's prepare lunch first. We have been busy all morning and everyone is hungry."

Although they were extremely curious, the two sisters-in-law had to make lunch first. There were a lot of children at home and none of them could go hungry.

Xu Jin and Xu Zhun brought Yang Qiwei, no, now he should be called Xu Qiwei. The three of them ran out and surrounded Xu Youliang: "Where are my elder brother (uncle) and elder sister (mother)?"

Xu Youliang walked with Xu Qiwei and answered, "She went to the county town to register her household registration and will be back in the afternoon."

Xu Jin still didn't understand what household registration was, but that didn't stop him from worrying about his sister: "What's wrong with my sister?"

Seeing the worry on Xu Jin's face, Xu Youliang squatted in front of Xu Jin, touched his head, and said softly, "Sister is fine. She will move back home after she completes her household registration."

Upon hearing that Xu Xu could move back home, Xu Jin happily confirmed, "Sister will be at home from now on? Nephew too?"

Xu Youyin nodded: "Yes, we will all live at home from now on. Well, this is not something children should worry about, go and have fun."

Xu Jin happily ran away with the children to find his nieces and nephews.

When lunch was served on the table, Second Aunt Xu and Xu Youyin finally came back. Xu Youyin was already very hungry, having just stood for so long and talked so much, when he saw lunch, he washed his hands, picked up the bowl without saying a word, and ate a lot.

The two people who were eager to eat the melon stared at Xu Youyin closely, but unfortunately he was only focused on eating and didn't notice anything. The two sisters-in-law had no choice but to eat. They could always eat the melon after the meal.

After lunch and cleaning up, Lin Erya and Chen Lihua finally got to eat the melon, and Xu Youyin once again played the role of storyteller.

Second Aunt Xu was watching from the side, looking very disgusted: "Boss, who do you think Youyin is like? Neither of us is like him."

Xu Jizong was also very disgusted and didn't even want to look at Xu Youyin: "Who knows."

When Xu Xu came back in the afternoon, Xu Jizong asked with concern, "Have you completed your household registration?"

Xu Xu nodded: "It's done. I even changed Weiwei and Tiantian's last name. They will be named Xu from now on."

Xu Jizong looked at Xu Xu in surprise. He had never heard her mention this before. "Why did you want to change your last name?"

Taking out the household registration document and handing it to Xu Jizong, Xu Xu said confidently: "We're not going to have any contact with each other anyway, so why should the child I raised have the surname Yang?"

Xu Jizong took the household registration document and agreed: "It should be Xu."

Seeing that the yard was quiet, Xu Xu asked curiously, "How many children are there?"

Xu Jizong pointed his chin towards the main house and said, "Your second aunt is taking a nap."

Thinking of the clan leader bringing a group of cousins to the Yang family to support her today, Xu Xu asked, "Second Uncle, so many clan members are going there to help today. Should I prepare some things and send some over to each family?"

Xu Jizong shook his head: "I said this morning that I would treat them to a meal in two days, so there is no need to send anything."

Xu Xu didn't care whether it was a dinner or a gift. She just wanted to thank them since they had come out to support her. Otherwise, who would come next time when she had something to do? "Okay, I'll treat you to a meal. Tomorrow is market day. I'll go buy some vegetables."

Then she thought of the dowry she brought back: "By the way, Second Uncle, where should I put the things I brought back from the Yang family? I'll take some back first, and then push the cart over later to ask my eldest brother and the others to help take the rest back."

Xu Jizong said without even raising his head: "Don't worry, we've already agreed at noon. I'll have your eldest brother and the others send it to you later. You don't have to come specially to pick up the child. The child will be sent to you as well."

Xu Xu thought this was fine, so he turned around and left: "Alright, I'll go back first. My mother hasn't even planted the vegetable garden since she got sick. I'll go tidy up the garden and plant it early. If I wait, I don't know if it will grow."

Xu Jizong also remembered that Xu Xu would stay at the Xu family in the future, so it was impossible for him to go buy even two vegetables: "Before the vegetables over there are ready, come to our house to pick them. We have several gardens at home, so there are enough vegetables to eat."

Xu Xu didn't stop walking, wanting to go back and turn over the land in the vegetable garden: "Got it."

Leeks are the best growing vegetable in the Xu family's vegetable garden at the moment, but due to neglect, the leeks grow sparsely. Even so, Xu Xu still plans to keep the leeks, thinking that they will grow well if he takes good care of them later. Besides, these leeks can be eaten for three or four meals at present. If he pulls them out, he will have to go to Xu Jizong's house to cut even the leek leaves.

The eggplants, green beans, cowpeas, amaranth, cabbage, etc. planted by Xu's mother in the early spring have all died. Now they have to pull out all the dead seedlings first, turn the soil over, and then they can plant the vegetables. In another month or two, they will have vegetables to eat.

She did it right away and put on a pair of gloves first. Because she usually had to do embroidery work, her mother taught Xu Xu how to protect her hands since she was a child, and it has become a habit over the years.

Wearing gloves and a straw hat, Xu Xu carried a hoe and came to the vegetable garden behind the house. At a glance, most of the vegetable garden was bathed in sunshine. Looking at the scorching sun above her head, she wanted to give up. Then she looked at the gloves on her hands. Everything was ready. She might as well get started and do as much as she could.

Xu Xu resigned himself to pulling out the half-dried seedlings and putting them into a broken bamboo basket, which he could then throw into the compost pit to make compost, so that nothing would be wasted.

After pulling out the seedlings, they could start turning the soil. Xu Xu carried the hoe and dug without much effort. She did not do much farm work to begin with, and she did not have much strength, so she had to take a break to catch her breath after digging the soil twice. When she heard someone calling at the door in the front yard, not even a quarter of the entire ridge had been turned over.

Looking up at the sky, Xu Youliang and the children were probably back. Xu Xu put down the hoe and went to the front yard to open the door. As expected, the three children rushed in as soon as the door opened. Xu Jin and Xu Zhun ran fast. As soon as they rushed in, they hugged Xu Xu's legs, raised their heads and laughed, shouting, "Sister, I'm back."

Xu Qiwei was two steps slower, and hurried over to see the two uncles holding Xu Xu's legs. He couldn't hold anything, so he jumped and shouted anxiously: "Mom, mom, me, and me, I want to be held too."

Xu Xu touched the twins' heads, bent down and hugged Xu Qiwei, then watched the Xu Youliang brothers push a cart in, followed by Chen Lihua holding Xu Tiantian.

Xu Xu reached out and took Xu Tiantian: "Brother, Youyin and Lihua come in quickly, why are you here at this time? It's so hot now."
