Zhang Yue felt a little disappointed when he saw that she was not sad at all. He felt that Xu Siyu must be very sad.

"Siyu, why did you go to the mountain?" He walked out of the crowd, wanting to show his heroic image in front of Xu Siyu.

In his impression, Xu Siyu usually does nothing.

Zhang Yue was very disgusted. After all, the woman didn't know how to do housework, so how would she live in the future?

But in the past, Xu Siyu often brought him cakes and dumplings, which were just enough to change his taste.

With Xu Wangshi around, a lot of the Xu family's food went to his family, and the Xu family also had to help him collect firewood...

There are some benefits after all.

But these benefits are far inferior to the Cao family's recommendation...

Xu Siyu couldn't stand the Phoenix Man and rolled her eyes at him. She asked him, "What's wrong with me going up the mountain? The mountain is owned by your family. Everyone goes up the mountain and asks the scholar. The scholar has nothing to do."

"Ha ha……"

Xu Chengqi rarely felt that his aunt's choking was so comfortable, and he laughed out loud unconsciously, making Zhang Yue even more embarrassed.

Xu Siyu didn't have time to become the laughing stock of others, so she waved her hand and said, "You guys are busy, we're going back."

Then, he left in a cool manner.

Zhang Yue looked at her back, a little absent-minded.

This is different from what he expected?

I originally thought that even if he said he would not marry her, Xu Siyu would definitely follow him around.

But she was so calm that he felt a little at a loss.

As soon as Xu Siyu returned home, the old lady pulled her over and looked her up and down. She was relieved to see that although her clothes were dirty, she was not hurt.

"Siyu, listen to your mother and don't go there anymore."

Xu Siyu also planned not to go. Climbing the mountain was too tiring. She just followed the old lady's steps and nodded in agreement.

The kudzu root was poured out. When Xu Wangshi heard from Xu Siyu that something similar to the tree root was edible, she immediately called He Xiangmei and Xu Nianyue and asked them to clean it up and dig some more from the mountain tomorrow.

In the evening, they still had watery soup with steamed corn bread. After walking on the mountain road and doing some work, Xu Siyu finished her bowl of thick soup, but she didn't feel full at all, so she sighed.

The old lady looked at the thin Xu Siyu and was a little worried. "Siyu, are you not full?"

"No, mother." Xu Siyu didn't want to contradict Xu Wangshi, but she asked anyway, "Mom, don't we have white flour at home? It's almost the New Year, can we have something good to eat?"

When they heard the word "white flour", everyone looked at the old lady with shining eyes.

A bowl of water is not enough to fill them up, and their stomachs rumble every day when they wake up.

Obviously his family was not that poor, but Mrs. Xu Wang had a philosophy of saving money to support the family, which forced the Xu family to live a hard and simple life.

The family fortune had been revealed, and the old lady couldn't hide it even if she wanted to. She felt a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, she said, "If you want to eat it, tomorrow mother will ask Nianyue to make you some hand-rolled noodles, and you can eat it yourself."

Everyone in the Xu family:...

It turns out that they were adopted, and only Xu Siyu is her biological child!

"I want to eat hand-rolled noodles too!" Ten-year-old Xu Chengzi said in a low voice, hiding behind his bowl.

The old lady glanced at her little grandson, then looked at her eldest son who was unable to stop him. She wanted to curse, but her most annoying son and grandson were no longer around, so she didn't curse at the first moment.

Then she glanced at the others, who were also looking at her eagerly, with expressions as if they wanted to eat hand-rolled noodles.

"Mom, please cook for me tomorrow. I'll cook dinner for you from now on." I can't sleep if I don't eat enough.

Xu Siyu couldn't bear to see her whole family looking so pale and thin.

It’s not that the conditions don’t exist, so why restrict it?

Xu Siyu had never experienced a time of food shortage and hunger, so she did not agree with the old lady's idea.

Even in such an era, she felt that one should eat when there was food to eat, rather than going hungry to save rice. If a person becomes sick from hunger or even starves to death, then he will truly be left with nothing.

"That won't do!" The old lady refused directly. "We still have to live in the future. How can we eat like this? We can't live in a day and then just enjoy the good life. No, no!"

Xu Siyu had no choice but to pretend to vent her anger and immediately said, "Okay, okay, why not? Not only do you have to do it tomorrow, but you have to do it every day. From now on, every month, I will fill up the rice jar and the flour jar. I can't not do it."

The old lady watched Xu Siyu pull the key from her pants, ran directly to her bedside, opened the bedside cabinet, took out a bag of flour, and handed it to He Xiangmei.

"Sister-in-law, do it."

"Hey." He Xiangmei took the bag. She had never thought her sister-in-law was so charming. Her eyes were shining as she looked at Xu Siyu.

The old lady looked so painful that she simply closed her eyes. She felt less annoyed when she couldn't see.

But when she couldn't see it, she kept thinking that such delicious noodles had to be eaten by these bastards. It was such a waste, and her chest hurt.

Mrs. Xu Wang looked as if she was about to die. She asked Xu Siyu to hold her forehead and hurriedly patted the old lady's chest.

Today, she was too impulsive in grabbing the key, which made the old lady very angry. Even if she died again, she would never meet a mother who was so good to her.

After the old lady recovered, she looked at the group of people who had finished eating but were still at the table and shouted, "Why don't you leave the table? We only have steamed corn bread today and flour tomorrow. Everyone wants to eat more, but they don't want to eat up all the food. Who will buy it? Only my daughter is still worrying about the food for this family."

Everyone:...

But when I thought about eating white flour tomorrow, I just let the old lady scold me.

……

The three-bedroom house was decided and built according to the layout of Old Xu's house.

The east side is connected to the west fence of the old house, and it can be connected by opening a door.

Xu Huaize ordered blue bricks and black tiles in the town, offered ten cents a day to work and contacted strong men in the village. Everything was just waiting for the spring to come and break ground.

Xu Huaishan and his wife definitely have to help, even Xu Nianyue's cooking is considered a job.

"Second brother, you shouted too?" Xu Huaishan asked.

"When Shuqin delivered the rice, my second brother and Chengyuan were not at home, so she only told my second sister-in-law. Shuqin said that my second sister-in-law looked like she was about to go out." Xu Huaize replied.

"Not at home? It's so cold, where did your ability go?"

Xu Wangshi didn't pay for the food for the workers who were repairing the house, so she asked Xu Huaize to buy it himself. Xu Huaize bought the cheapest food. Remembering what he had promised his eldest brother to take care of his second brother, he sent some.

Xu Huaishan had no money and no extra food, so he could only ask Xu Nianyue to put more wild vegetables in the steamed buns she made at home, and leave a few for his second brother's family every day.

He has been busy going up the mountain recently and has no time to check on Xu Huaichuan.

"Didn't the eldest brother ask the second brother to find a job? The second brother may have listened to him. Before the festival, many wealthy families are busy and will hire some temporary workers. Cheng Yuan has gone there before, and I guess he took the second brother with him this time." Xu Huaize didn't want Xu Huaishan to be distracted, so he said.

"That's good."
