Let’s split up if we want to. I have a system, so who should I be afraid of?

At this time, Da Niu, Er Niu and Zhang Fulai also came down from the roof.

Erniu saw Su Panpan and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Panpan, there is no need to rush to give this money."

"Yeah, there's no rush." ​​Da Niu agreed.

Zhang Fulai also smiled and nodded: "Yes, we are all neighbors, no need to be so polite."

Wang Hexiang poured hot tea for Su Panpan. Seeing the three plates in the basket, she asked curiously, "Panpan, what's in these?"

Su Panpan took out the plates one by one and said, "These are the shredded radish meatballs I made. I also have some dried radish and pickled radish. I'll give them to you to try."

"That's thoughtful of you, Panpan. Come here and try the radish meatballs made by Aunt Panpan." Lin Xiu'e shouted to the children.

After tasting one, Zhang Da Niu, Zhang Er Niu and Zhang Fulai all nodded and gave thumbs up.

When the children heard that there was something delicious, they immediately gathered around after smelling the aroma.

Zhang Baoer and Zhang Laner's eyes were full of desire.

Zhang Baoer said in a baby voice, "Wow, there are delicious foods." Zhang Laner also nodded.

"It smells so good!" Zhang Maitian swallowed his saliva when he saw the shredded radish meatballs, and couldn't wait to take the meatballs and stuff them into his mouth.

Yueyue said proudly: "My mother's cooking is delicious. We eat it often at home."

Xiaoxiao also smiled and said, "Yes, we did all this with mother."

The adults all laughed when they saw the cute children.

Su Panpan, Wang Hexiang and Lin Xiu'e sat together, watching the children playing in the yard and chatting.

The warm autumn sun shines gently.

In one corner of the yard was a pile of wood for repairing the roof, with old baskets and tools next to it.

The wall is made of stone and mud, with yellow vines climbing on it.

There is a thick and lush old tree in the yard. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting golden spots on the ground. The wind blows, and the leaves rustle.

Every year after the autumn harvest, it is the women’s favorite day. They mend shoe soles, mend clothes, bask in the sun, drink tea, and chat about the village’s daily life.

Su Panpan leaned forward slightly, folded her hands on her knees, and asked curiously, "Auntie Wang, is there anything new in the village recently?"

Wang Hexiang held her chin with her hand and thought for a moment, "Oh, Old Li's family has a new fat boy. The little guy is white and chubby, so handsome, and his cry is so loud that the whole village can hear it. Old Li's wife has been very cautious since she became pregnant, and the family always relies on her for all the delicious food. Now that the child is born, the house is very lively, and visitors come one after another." Wang Hexiang showed a relieved smile on her face.

Lin Xiu'e quickly responded, nodding and gesturing, "That's right, the Li family has been really worried about this child. That little darling is so adorable."

It is a woman's nature to love gossip.

Su Panpan listened with great interest and nodded continuously.

At this time, a burst of hearty laughter came from outside the yard, and Aunt Zhao from the village came in with a basket of eggs. "Hey, what are you guys talking about so excitedly?" Aunt Zhao said with a smile.

Wang Hexiang quickly stood up and said, "Aunt Zhao, please sit down. We are just talking about the village."

Wang Hexiang added, "The pigs at Old Wang's house in the east of the village haven't been very active these past few days. Old Wang was so anxious he called a vet. It turned out they had eaten something bad, and they're currently recovering."

"If there's anything wrong with the pig, his family will suffer a huge loss. They're counting on selling it for a good price during the Chinese New Year," Lin Xiu'e added.

"Yes, it's not easy to raise a pig." Aunt Zhao

As he was speaking, Liu Shunzi, a young man from the village, came running over in a hurry. "Aunties, are all here? I just came back from town and have a message for you. There's a market in a few days with all kinds of things to sell."

Everyone was interested when they heard this. Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "We should go shopping. Maybe we can find some good things."

"When the time comes, bring some shoe soles and handkerchiefs to sell." Lin Xiu'e, who was sewing shoe soles, agreed casually.

Liu Shunzi slipped away after delivering the message.

Wang Hexiang looked at Lin Xiu'e who was busy all the time and liked her more and more. She was diligent, filial, good-tempered and good-looking.

Lin Xiu'e was from the neighboring Dajiang Village. She lost her mother when she was young. Her family was so poor that they had no food to eat and were almost starving to death. Her second aunt felt sorry for her and took the lead in finding her in Huaxi Village. She was taken to the Zhang family by her father early on.

After climbing over several mountains to reach the Zhang family, Lin Xiu'e thought she would be sold to some deep mountain forest, live a hard life, and become an old man's wife.

I cried all the way here because I felt wronged. I'm not afraid of a hard life, but I don't want to marry an old man.

Unexpectedly, the Zhang family was well off, with a spacious yard, land, and even two cows.

What's more important is that she didn't marry an old man. At that time, Zhang Daniu still had a very young face, a tall figure, and an honest and simple personality.

Lin Xiu'e fell in love with Zhang Daniu at first sight.

Zhang Daniu also fell in love with this thin, shy and pitiful girl at first sight. After the deal was settled, he secretly cooked a few eggs, took a small bag of peanuts, and gave her some osmanthus candies to eat on the way.

Lin Xiu'e felt sweet as she ate the osmanthus candy, and from then on she was willing to live a good life with Zhang Daniu.

Zhang Daniu was driving the cart, with several villagers sitting on either side, blowing trumpets. Erniu was also driving a cart, carrying several boxes of betrothal gifts, and the cart was covered with red cloth.

There were also relatives from the Zhang family helping behind them, and the wedding procession was so grand that it gave Lin Xiu'e enough face.

The Zhang family gave the Lin family several boxes of betrothal gifts, including clothes and quilts, ten chickens and ducks, ten bags of grain, as well as cakes, fruits, and some farm tools.

When had the Lin family ever been so prosperous? The villagers of Dajiang Village thought that Lin Xiu'e had climbed up some high-ranking official position.

Since getting married, Zhang Daniu has been getting up early and working hard every day. He drives a ox cart to the town to deliver goods before dawn, comes back to eat at noon, and then works in the fields.

Life was good and she never went hungry.

The Zhang family lived a better life. Wang Hexiang and Zhang Fulai were also worldly-wise. During the holidays, they would ask Da Niu to drive the ox cart back to bring some game, meat, cakes, etc. to Lin Xiu'e's parents' home. When the harvest was good, they would also transport some grain and give some money.

However, what makes Lin Xiu'e embarrassed is that her parents' family always takes in money but never gives out anything. Her parents are so poor that they have nothing to give away.

Fortunately, Wang Hexiang knew the situation of the Lin family and didn't care about it.

There is no way. The terrain of Dajiang Village is inferior to that of Huaxi Village in all aspects, so the harvest is naturally not as good as that of Huaxi Village.

All the girls in Dajiang Village were eager to marry into Huaxi Village, and this was especially true after Lin Xiu'e got married.

The matchmaker from Dajiang Village said that the men from other villages were no longer useful.

If there is an unmarried man of marriageable age in Huaxi Village, the matchmakers will rush to the door to compete for the small amount of money they receive as a thank you.
