After the separation, I took my whole family to eat delicious food and drink spicy

In the afternoon, villagers who grew peppers in the village heard that Li Xiaoxiao's family was collecting fresh peppers and selling them for one cent per pound, so they hurriedly took baskets and bamboo baskets to pick all the red peppers they could and brought them back to Li Xiaoxiao's house.

Not long after Li Xiaoxiao's family finished their meal, some quick-handed villagers came over carrying peppers. Li Xiaoxiao opened the gate and asked them to line up one by one. Bai weighed them one by one. After the villagers in front really got the money, those villagers who were still skeptical also believed that Li Xiaoxiao's family was really picking peppers, and hurried away to pick peppers for their own.

They were busy until almost dark. Li Xiaoxiao and Bai looked at the peppers piled up like a small mountain in the yard. After a rough calculation, they found that there were about two or three hundred kilograms. It seemed that they would be busy tomorrow.

It didn't look like it would rain, so Li Xiaoxiao told Bai not to worry about it and just leave the peppers in the yard and deal with them tomorrow.

Mrs. Bai was busy making dinner. Since the little rabbit had just given birth, Li Fang and Li Linlin basically spent all their time taking care of the little rabbit, fearing that the little rabbit would not survive.

Li Xiaoxiao looked at the two people who were frightened and felt helpless, so she could only let them go.

Bai was busy making dinner and didn't pay any attention to them. By the time the meal was ready, Li Xiaoxiao had already cleaned all the jars that had been delivered that morning and placed them in the yard to dry. They could be used directly tomorrow when they were dry.

After the family finished dinner, Mrs. Bai asked Li Xiaoxiao and the others to pack up and go to bed, as they had to get up early and work the next day.

At night, Li Xiaoxiao lay on the bed, looking out the window through the mottled moonlight, thinking about every detail of her coming here. She felt that she was slowly adapting to the life here and fell in love with this simple and peaceful countryside.

Li Xiaoxiao fell into a deep sleep under the bright moonlight. In her dream, she saw her future, a scene of prosperity.

The next morning, the sun filled the entire courtyard. Li Xiaoxiao got up early and started to get busy. Aunt Chen and Sister Guihua also came to Li Xiaoxiao's house early. "Auntie, Sister Guihua, good morning." Li Xiaoxiao greeted them warmly.

"Xiaoxiao, we are here to help." Aunt Chen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Auntie and sister-in-law. I feel much more relaxed today with your help." Li Xiaoxiao said gratefully.

"These peppers are so fresh and beautiful." Sister Guihua exclaimed.

"Yes, it's all because the villagers grow it well." Li Xiaoxiao replied.

The four of them moved the peppers to the center of the yard and then washed them. Bai also asked Aunt Chen to bring the kitchen knife and wooden basin from home. They divided the work and after washing some of the peppers and drying them, Bai and Aunt Chen were responsible for cutting the peppers into pieces, screening out the pepper seeds, and then chopping them. Li Xiaoxiao and Sister Guihua were responsible for washing all the peppers and drying them. After Bai and Aunt Chen chopped the first pot of peppers, Li Xiaoxiao was responsible for adding other seasonings, stirring them evenly, and then putting them into jars. The others continued to divide the work of chopping the peppers.

There is strength in numbers. Compared with the last time when Li Xiaoxiao and Bai Shi made chopped peppers alone, this time the four of them worked together much faster. Besides, Aunt Chen and Sister Guihua were both good at work. In just one day, they managed to prepare and pack hundreds of kilograms of chopped peppers into jars.

In order to thank Aunt Chen and her husband, Li Xiaoxiao not only paid them a day's wages, but also packed a bag of dried red dates that she had previously dried for them as a thank you. This made Aunt Chen and her husband feel a little embarrassed, and they said they didn't want any wages. The dried red dates looked better than those bought in town, and they would probably cost a lot of money. How could they bear to accept wages?

Looking at Mrs. Bai and Aunt Chen pushing and shoving in the yard, Li Xiaoxiao said directly, "Auntie, Sister Guihua, if you don't accept it, we won't dare ask you for help next time."

After hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Aunt Chen could no longer refuse. She took the dried red dates and silver from Bai's hand, said hello to Li Xiaoxiao's family, and took Wang Guihua home.

Looking at the chopped peppers piled up in a corner of the kitchen, Li Xiaoxiao sighed, "I'm finally done. There's just so much to do every day."

Mrs. Bai, who had just entered the house, heard Li Xiaoxiao's words and her eyes were filled with heartache. She walked over, touched Li Xiaoxiao's face and said, "Xiaoxiao, go and rest for a while. Wait until Fang'er has heated the bath water. Take a bath first, and I'll go make dinner." Li Xiaoxiao nodded. She did feel a little tired. After taking a bath, she changed into clean clothes and sat in the yard, enjoying the cool evening breeze.

At this time, Aunt Lin from next door came to visit and asked about the chopped peppers. Li Xiaoxiao told her that the chopped peppers were all ready and would be sold in the town in a few days.

Aunt Lin praised Li Xiaoxiao for her ability and said that if she needed to collect more peppers later, she must let her know. Li Xiaoxiao smiled and agreed, thinking about her next plan.

As night fell and the stars twinkled, Li Xiaoxiao lay on her bed, gradually falling asleep with beautiful dreams in her mind.

The next day, Li Xiaoxiao slept until noon. She was so busy yesterday that she felt like her arms were not her own.

After getting up and washing, Li Xiaoxiao ate the vegetable and egg porridge that Bai had warmed in the pot. Seeing that Bai was making winter quilts in the room, Li Xiaoxiao did not disturb her and went out with a small basket.

At this time, Li Fang and Li Linlin didn't know where to go to play. Li Xiaoxiao followed the path in the village and slowly walked to the shrimp field. He checked the condition of the crayfish and found that there was no problem, so he turned and went to the river.

Li Xiaoxiao was walking along the river. As she walked, she found some water hyacinths. She heard that water hyacinths would help chickens and ducks grow faster if they ate them. Li Xiaoxiao put down her basket, rolled up her trouser legs, took off her shoes, and walked into the river to catch some water hyacinths.

Li Xiaoxiao directly picked up the water hyacinth and threw it to the shore, preparing to pick it up together later. At this time, a discordant voice sounded, "Li Xiaoxiao, are you hungry and stupid? This thing can be eaten, but don't eat it to death." After saying that, he laughed.

Li Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice. It turned out to be Li Baoer and her good friend Li Qingqing. The two often played together in the village.

Li Xiaoxiao directly retorted, "Why do you care what I eat or what I do? If you have that time, you might as well take care of your fiancé. Don't let him be snatched away by someone else and you'll have no place to cry."

When Li Baoer heard this, her expression instantly turned ugly. "Stop talking nonsense! Brother Yuxuan doesn't like anyone else!"

Li Xiaoxiao sneered, "You never know, you're not the only woman in the world."

Li Baoer stomped her feet in anger and said, "You...just wait and see!" After that, she pulled Li Qingqing and turned away.

Li Xiaoxiao didn't bother to pay attention to them and continued to pick up water hyacinths. Soon, the small basket was full.

She went ashore with a basket and picked up the water hyacinths and put them into the basket. Looking at the fruits of her labor, Li Xiaoxiao smiled with satisfaction.

After returning home, Li Xiaoxiao chopped up the water hyacinth and fed it to the chickens and ducks. Seeing them eating happily, Li Xiaoxiao's mood also improved.

Although she encountered unpleasant things, she did not take it to heart. After all, there were many more happy things in life waiting for her to discover.
