Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Li Xiaoxiao was awakened by the chirping of chickens at home.

She rubbed her still sleepy eyes, stretched, and got up.

Walking out of the room, I saw Li Fang happily feeding the chicks and ducklings in the yard. Li Linlin was squatting on the side watching, while Bai was cutting some rotten vegetable leaves and mixing them with rice bran for the piglets to eat.

Li Xiaoxiao felt extremely warm watching this scene. She smiled and walked over to Li Fangzheng, squatting down to feed the chicks and ducklings together.

"Sister, you're awake." Li Fangzheng smiled brightly.

"Well, these chicks and ducklings are so cute." said Li Xiaoxiao.

At this time, Mrs. Bai came over and handed Li Xiaoxiao a handful of green vegetables, "Xiaoxiao, take them to the kitchen and wash them. We will make breakfast later."

"Okay, Mom." Li Xiaoxiao took the vegetables and walked into the kitchen. While washing them, she thought about what delicious food to make today. After washing the vegetables, she started to light the fire and cook breakfast.

Li Xiaoxiao prepared to make noodles. She scooped a large bowl of white flour from the vat, added warm water and stirred it until it formed into snowflakes, then kneaded it into a smooth dough and set it aside to rise.

Then, she skillfully picked up the kitchen knife and minced the onion, ginger, and garlic into fine pieces, placing them in a bowl for later use. After doing this, Li Xiaoxiao looked at the time and estimated that Li Fang would have finished feeding the chickens and ducks, so she asked him to come over and help light the fire.

Soon, the water in the pot boiled. Li Xiaoxiao rolled the rested dough into thin sheets, cut it into thin noodles with a knife, and put it into the pot to cook. Finally, she added chopped green onions, ginger, garlic, a little salt, oil, and vegetables to the pot. A bowl of fragrant vegetable noodles was ready.

The family sat around the table and happily ate breakfast.

Li Xiaoxiao feels that this simple and happy life is what she wants most.

After dinner, Li Xiaoxiao and Bai cleaned up the dishes together and prepared to go to the fields to work.

Li Xiaoxiao asked Li Fang and Li Linlin to go to the village to find friends to play with, and the two ran away happily.

Now the corn and sweet potatoes in the field have grown, and along with them there are a lot of weeds. Bai is going to weed the corn in the field, turn over the sweet potato vines, and apply some fertilizer.

Li Xiaoxiao and Bai arrived at the fields and began to work. They weeded, then turned the potato vines, and finally fertilized. Although the work was hard, Li Xiaoxiao felt very fulfilled.

"Mom, look how well the corn is growing!" Li Xiaoxiao pointed at the corn seedlings in the field and said happily to Bai.

"Yes, there will definitely be a good harvest this year." Bai replied with a smile.

"By the way, Mom, have the soybeans we planted in the wasteland grown yet? I haven't been there to check for a long time."

"I went there yesterday. She looked pretty good." Bai straightened up and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"That's good. When the beans are ripe, we can grind them into soy milk to drink and make tofu." Li Xiaoxiao looked expectant.

"Hahaha, Xiaoxiao, when can you change your greedy habit?" Mrs. Bai was amused by her daughter.

"I just like to eat it." Li Xiaoxiao said coquettishly.

The mother and daughter chatted while working, and before they knew it, the sun had risen overhead.

"Okay, Xiaoxiao, let's go home and rest for a while, and then continue working in the afternoon." Bai looked at the sun and estimated that it was almost noon.

"Okay, mother." Li Xiaoxiao responded and walked home with Bai Shi, carrying the hoe. When they were halfway there, they met Li Fang and his partner who were also heading home.

Li Fang had a sullen face as he pulled Li Linlin forward. Li Linlin also had a pout on her face, looking like she wanted to cry but didn't dare.

When the two saw Bai and Li Xiaoxiao, Li Linlin could no longer hold back and ran to Li Xiaoxiao, "Sister, Li Dachun bullied us and said we were children without a father." Li Linlin cried as she spoke.

Li Xiaoxiao was furious when she heard this. She put down her hoe, ignored Bai's calls, and took her brother and sister's hands and walked straight towards Li Dachun.

"Li Dachun, what did you just say? Say it again if you have the guts!" Li Xiaoxiao glared at Li Dachun, her eyes full of anger.

Li Dachun was startled by Li Xiaoxiao's aura, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "I said you are children without a father, what's wrong?"

"What makes you say that?" Li Xiaoxiao asked.

"Because your father is gone, haha..." Li Dachun said with a laugh.

"You are not allowed to talk about my father like that!" Li Fangzheng rushed forward to hit Li Dachun, but was stopped by Li Xiaoxiao.

"Fang'er, don't be impulsive." Li Xiaoxiao comforted him, but she walked in front of Li Dachun and slapped him.

Li Dachun was stunned by the beating, and then he burst into tears.

"If you dare to hit me, I'll tell my mother!"

"Go ahead and sue!" Li Xiaoxiao was not afraid at all.

"I'm telling you, Li Dachun, don't bully my brothers and sisters anymore, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

After saying that, Li Xiaoxiao took her younger brother and sister home.

When Bai saw the three of them come back, she hurriedly asked what had happened.

Li Xiaoxiao told Mrs. Bai what happened. Mrs. Bai sighed and stroked Li Xiaoxiao's head, "Xiaoxiao, you did the right thing, but don't hit anyone again in the future.

The family was about to wash their hands and cook when Li Lin's voice rang out from outside the door, "Li Xiaoxiao, come out here! What gives you the right to hit our Dachun?"

When Mrs. Bai heard Li Lin's voice, she quickly put down the plate in her hand and walked out. "Second sister-in-law, don't be angry, it's just a joke between children." Mrs. Bai originally wanted to persuade Li Lin to avoid making a fool of herself.

But Li Linshi didn't buy Baishi's tricks at all. She wished all the neighbors would come and watch the fun. "Are you just joking? You're actually hitting someone for fun? Baishi, are you blind?"

It was lunch time and most of the villagers had already returned. After hearing Li Fang's scolding, the villagers stopped cooking and decided to come out to see what was happening.

Soon, the door of Li Xiaoxiao's house was full of people. Bai looked at so many people. She was not good at quarreling, so she stood there for a while and didn't know what to do.

Seeing that Li Fang was getting more and more outrageous, Li Xiaoxiao angrily walked to the gate and said to Li Fang, "Second Aunt, it was Li Dachun who couldn't produce ivory from his own mouth. He started by calling my brother and sister fatherless children. I just slapped him to teach him a lesson and to keep his mouth shut in the future. Second Aunt, you must have heard the saying that trouble comes from the mouth, right?"

"Li Xiaoxiao, I don't care who made the mistake first. It was my son who was beaten today. You must pay me money, otherwise I will stay here and not leave." Li Lin said in a dishonest manner.

"I don't have any money. If Second Aunt likes to stay here, then just stay." After saying that, Li Xiaoxiao didn't care about them anymore. She pulled Bai into the courtyard and slammed the door shut.

When the villagers heard that Li Dachun was the one who bullied others and was beaten, they immediately felt that Li Dachun was wrong. Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, they went back in twos and threes to cook, leaving Li Lin and her son standing blankly at the door, not knowing whether to leave or stay. Finally, Li Lin stomped her feet and dragged Li Dachun home.
