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

Several people came to the wasteland in the backyard of the new house. This was bought when the family bought land to build the house. After a visual estimate, it was about five acres. Looking at the overgrown weeds on the wasteland, Li Xiaoxiao felt overwhelmed.

"Mom, there are too many grasses in this wasteland. How long will it take us to clean it up?" Li Xiaoxiao's face was almost wrinkled.

Mrs. Bai patted Li Xiaoxiao's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, as a family, we can work together to clean it up." After that, Mrs. Bai picked up the sickle and took the lead in cutting the grass.

Seeing Li Xiaoxiao like this, Bai Dong comforted her, "Don't worry, your uncle is here. If you feel tired later, go back first and your uncle will do it!" After that, Bai Dong lowered his head and started mowing the grass!

Seeing that his mother and uncle had said so, Li Xiaoxiao also hurried to cut grass. Although the weather was hot and their clothes were soaked with sweat, they did not complain at all.

After several days of hard work, the wasteland was finally cleared. Standing by, Li Xiaoxiao gazed at the vast expanse of land before her, a sense of accomplishment filled her heart. Next, they would begin applying fertilizer, hoping this land would bring them the joy of a good harvest.

The weeds cut from the wasteland have dried up after being dried in the sun for a few days. Bai Dong directly piled the weeds on the wasteland and burned them all into ash to use as base fertilizer.

As the weeds turned to ashes, the air was filled with a faint scent of grass and wood, which was the most rustic smell of the earth.

Li Xiaoxiao looked at the carefully cultivated land, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"Mom, uncle, let's start planting soybeans today!" Li Xiaoxiao suggested to them excitedly.

Mrs. Bai smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with relief and encouragement. "Alright, let's get started. When your father was alive, he often said, 'A hard worker thrives on the land.' As long as we work diligently, the land will reward us with abundant fruits."

The division of labor was clear. Bai Dong was in charge of tilling the soil, digging neat rows of furrows with his hoe. Li Xiaoxiao followed behind, carefully scattering plump soybean seeds into the soil. Each seed he sowed felt like a seed of hope. Meanwhile, Bai Shi gently covered the soil with dirt, ensuring each seed was fully nourished.

The sun gradually rose higher, and the sunlight shone on everyone, warm but also a little hot.

Sweat once again soaked their clothes, but their faces were filled with smiles of satisfaction and happiness. Occasionally, they looked up at each other, and without words, the tacit understanding and support were enough to warm each other's hearts.

"Xiaoxiao, remember when your father took you to grow vegetables when you were a child. You were still sick at that time, and you always loved to scatter seeds everywhere, and you smiled so happily." Bai recalled the past while working, with a bit of tenderness and nostalgia in her voice.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao's lips curled up unconsciously. Although she had no memory of the time she spent with her father, she knew from Bai's description that it was one of her happiest times.

"Mom, I was ignorant back then and always caused trouble for Dad. Now I'm recovered from my illness, grown up, and can help with things at home." Li Xiaoxiao said seriously, with a light of determination and growth in his eyes.

As the sun sets, the last soybean is carefully placed in its rightful place. Standing on the edge of the wasteland, the family gazes at this land of hope, their hearts filled with longing for the future.

Bai Dong patted Li Xiaoxiao's shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, our soybeans will definitely grow exceptionally well this year!"

As night fell, Li Xiaoxiao lay in bed, unable to sleep. Her mind replayed the day's events, from the first rays of morning sun to the last rays of evening sunset, every detail so vivid. She knew that this land not only carried their sweat and hope, but also their love and yearning for life.

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone upon the newly planted land, Li Xiaoxiao rose early. She went to the backyard, looked at the newly planted soybean seeds, and silently prayed, "May you thrive and bring us the joy of a bountiful harvest."

In the days that followed, Li Xiaoxiao's family became even busier. They regularly watered, weeded, and loosened the soil, meticulously caring for every living thing on this land. And the soybeans lived up to their expectations, gradually breaking through the soil, their tender green leaves swaying gently in the breeze, as if announcing their existence and growth to the world.

After studying for a period of time, Li Fang has now adapted to school life and made a good friend in school, who is said to be the grandson of the village chief of the neighboring village.

After finishing his farm work every day, Li Xiaoxiao's favorite thing to do is to go to Li Fang and listen to him tell interesting stories about what happened in the school. Li Linlin is the same. She follows Li Fang every day. In his free time, Li Fang will teach Li Linlin how to read, and Li Linlin is also willing to learn.

Li Xiaoxiao felt that although there was prejudice against women in this era, it would be good for Li Linlin's future if she could read and do arithmetic. Therefore, she also agreed that Li Fang would use his spare time to teach Li Linlin, and she herself would occasionally teach her arithmetic.

That day, Li Xiaoxiao waited for Li Fang to finish school at the school gate as usual. From a distance, she saw Li Fang and a boy walking towards her, chatting and laughing. As the two approached, Li Fang noticed her sister and quickly introduced her, "Sister, this is my good friend Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu, this is my sister."

Zhao Yu politely greeted Li Xiaoxiao, "Hello, Sister Li."

Li Xiaoxiao smiled and responded, "Hello, I often hear Li Fang mention you."

The three of them walked home while chatting. On the way, Zhao Yu asked curiously, "Sister Li, what are you planting in your fields?"

"It's soybeans. When they are harvested in autumn, we can grind them into soy milk and make tofu." Li Xiaoxiao said proudly.

"Wow, that sounds great. My grandfather said that farming is not easy. You must be working very hard." Zhao Yu sighed.

"Yes, but seeing the crops in the fields growing better day by day, all the hard work is worth it." Li Xiaoxiao said with a firm look.

As they were talking, they had already reached the door of the house. Li Fang invited Zhao Yu to come over to play when he was free, and Zhao Yu happily agreed.

Looking at Zhao Yu's receding back, Li Xiaoxiao felt filled with relief.

She hopes her brother can continue to grow up happily like this and looks forward to the harvest in autumn.
