People should know how to be grateful. If your Aunt Xiuying's family needs help in the future, you must be discerning and considerate."

Jindan struggled to carry the full load of rice and nodded heavily.

"Mother, don't worry, you should praise Aunt Xiuyi thousands of times every day.

I remember them all.

Mom, we already have enough black noodles at home, how about we replace them with some meat this time?"

The thought of Roujindan made him drool. The family had stored more than 200 kilograms of black flour by picking milk apples and ferns. Today, he and his mother went to the market, while Tiedan, Goudan and Huahua carried baskets and went up the mountain to pick milk apples and ferns.

Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes at her eldest son and said, "We need to get some salt. It's hard work when we're ready for spring plowing, and we can't do without salt.

But you have worked hard these days. After I change the salt and some black flour, if there are any left, I will buy some bones to make soup for you.

This year, it’s thanks to your Aunt Xiuying that we can wear those black masks, but what about next year?”

Mrs. Sun shook her head. What a silly son he was. He actually complained about the many bad people in the family.

When Jindan heard that there was bone soup to drink, he swallowed his saliva. Although there was no meat to eat, he was very satisfied to drink the oily soup. He put some vegetables in the shiny and oily bone soup, took a bite of black flour steamed bun and a sip of soup, and he was full.

He hadn't eaten oily food for a long time. He hadn't had a full meal since his father fell ill. Now he could eat as much black flour steamed buns as he wanted, and his mother even bought him bones to make soup. He was very satisfied.

"It's great to have bone soup to drink. It's great that our family can have a full meal every day."

Thinking about drinking the shiny and juicy bone soup when he comes back, Jindan feels full of energy.

Xiuying was sitting in the ox cart holding the seventh child. Just as she was about to say a few words and ask Mrs. Sun to buy some meat for the children, she met Mrs. Sun's grateful eyes.

"Sister Xiuying, you are our family's great benefactor. In just a few days, we can eat black noodles. Without you, we couldn't even eat enough wild vegetable porridge. We will never forget your kindness!"

Mrs. Sun was truly grateful to Xiuying. She choked up as she spoke, and her eyes turned slightly red.

Xiuying's fair smiling face is redder than Mrs. Sun's eyes. She is not that great. In the mall, a pound of rice costs two yuan, a pound of bracken costs twenty-five yuan, and a pound of milk fruit costs fifteen yuan. She makes a lot of money.

Xiuying placed the seventh child in her arms on the oxcart, and got off with a white cotton bag containing ten kilograms of rice. She handed it to Mrs. Sun and said, "Take this and exchange it to buy some meat for the children. Keep it away so no one sees it."

Mrs. Sun wanted to push it back, but after hearing what Xiuying said, she was afraid of causing trouble for Xiuying, so she didn't dare to say anything. She could only take the bag of rice with her trembling hands. She moved closer to Xiuying and whispered, "Sister Xiuying, you've helped us enough. I feel uneasy holding it."

Xiuying remembered that Zhou Dazhui had brought Ma Ergun and Deng Defa to cause trouble, and it was Mrs. Sun who asked Sun Huahua to come to her from the small road to inform her. Mrs. Sun naturally did not want to provoke those people with her children, but she did not stand idly by.

"This bag of rice is to thank you for letting Huahua come to tell me the news last time. This bag of rice is a reward for the children."

Mrs. Sun was just about to say that it was just a small favor and there was no need for such a valuable thank you gift when Xiuying said, "Jindan, Tiedan, Goudan, and Huahua are all growing up and can't do without oily meat. You can use this rice to buy some meat for the children to nourish their bodies."

Mrs. Sun looked at the seven maids on the ox cart. They had gained weight on their faces, especially the two little ones, who were round and plump, like two meat buns, which made people like them. Not only did the seven maids grow better, but their complexions also improved. They were dressed neatly and no longer looked like they had just been separated from the family.

Xiuying is still the best. She takes such good care of the seven girls. Look at myself. Without Xiuying, I can't even have a full meal. Xiuying is really capable.

Thinking that Xiuying gave the rice to ask her to buy meat for her children because she knew she was reluctant to do so, she felt sad and tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks.

Xiuying must have been sent by the gods in heaven to save this poor person.

Xiuying will be her biological sister from now on!

"Sister-in-law, I still have to go to my parents' home, so I'll leave first."

Yang Xiuying patted Mrs. Sun's shoulder gently and then got on the ox cart.

Taohua saw that A Niang was sitting steadily, so she patted the cow's butt gently, and the cow's hooves started to walk forward quickly.

This is the big yellow cow at home, she can't bear to use the whip.

Tian Guilan and Zhao's mother stood in the yard and saw Yang Xiuying leaving the village in an ox cart. Zhao's mother snorted coldly.

"Isn't it just an ox cart? What's there to be proud of? The ox cart isn't hers. It was given to her by the owner of Fenglai Tower to carry rice. She's just a servant running errands. What's there to show off?"

Tian Guilan was holding a basin filled with wheat bran and walking towards the chicken coop.

"She's just cow dung, but she looks so good. Didn't you see what's in those two big baskets on her ox cart?"

Zhao's mother had poor eyesight and only saw that the ox cart was full and there were two large baskets, but she couldn't see clearly what was inside.

She was a little curious. It was obvious that Xiuying was going back to her parents' home. What could she bring with her?

"What is it? What did she bring back to her parents' home? This little bitch is so ungrateful. She brings all the good things to her parents' home instead of using them to honor me, her mother-in-law.

It's really a dog that can't be fed!"

Could it be rice? It doesn't look like it at first glance.

Tian Guilan placed the basin in front of Zhao's mother.

"Look, this is it, wheat bran. They ate this before they separated from the family. After they separated and moved out, they couldn't even have a full meal. They had to eat some unfamiliar wild fruits in the mountains. Now they can eat wheat bran, why don't they show it off?"

As she spoke, Tian Guilan mixed the wheat bran in the basin with some wild grass and poured it into the chicken coop.

Zhao's mother felt distressed again when she saw her eldest daughter-in-law feeding wheat bran to the chickens.

Xiuying and the other girls eat this wheat bran, but the eldest daughter-in-law can't? He sighed deeply, but didn't say what was on his lips.

-

In half an hour, Xiuying arrived at Yangliu Town. Yangliu Town was a small town surrounded by a one-meter-high earthen wall. After entering the city gate, there were rows of adobe houses. On both sides of the road were vendors selling things, and peddlers carrying things on their shoulders.

As you walk into the crowded street, you will find a market where people can exchange items.

Taohua drove the ox cart to a dilapidated courtyard, jumped off and knocked on the dilapidated gate.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Qingfeng, please open the door quickly. We are here."
