Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

What else can you do? If you don't accept her, she will be unhappy. She likes Yaoyao and thinks about her in her heart, so she should be happy.

When Nanny Nan saw Xiao Ci looking at Yaoyao eagerly, she smiled secretly in her heart for a while before reluctantly holding Yaoyao to him.

Yaoyao saw that it was someone else holding her, and it was her handsome brother. Her chubby hands grabbed Xiao Ci's collar and was about to draw a map on his face.

Is this the magic of having a sister? Soft and fluffy, that useless man still hasn't been able to give him a sister.

It's really useless.

Every time Xiao Ci hugged Yaoyao, he would complain in his heart about his useless...

.......

Old Lady Liu stayed at the Lu Mansion for an hour and then came back with Yaoyao to feed her.

Yaoyao nestled in Shen Chulan's arms and drank her rations happily, gulping them down. One could tell how big this child's appetite was just by listening to the sound.

After Old Lady Liu cleaned up Yaoyao's feces and urine with her nimble hands, she sat on the edge of the bed and told Shen Chulan that the Lu family would come to their house for dinner in the evening.

"Ah, you are indeed a wealthy family, you are so generous. Yaoyao still has several new clothes, and they sent new fabrics over."

Old Lady Liu touched Yaoyao's feet, which were plump and especially good to pinch.

The chubby little feet are pinched in people's hands, and all five little toes are spread out, which is very fun.

Shen Chulan touched Yaoyao's other little foot and said, "I've already given it to you. Next time you make something delicious at home, send some over."

"That's fine. Now that Yaoyao is here, our family is getting more and more hopeful. Although I told Yaoyao not to bring out so many things, she is a person with strong opinions."

When Old Lady Liu talked about this, she felt warm in her heart.

Yaoyao, a strong-willed girl, had her two little feet pinched. Pinching is fine, but what does it mean to press the soles of my hands and feet? Don’t I feel itchy?

The chubby lotus-root-like feet broke free from the two mischievous hands, turned over, and shouted at his mother and grandmother in dissatisfaction.

"Ahhhh!"

It’s so itchy!

This adorable look certainly captured the hearts of both the daughter and grandson.

"Look, my granddaughter is so smart that she can resist." Old Mrs. Liu leaned over and kissed Yaoyao on the cheek.

"Okay, okay, mom and grandma won't play with your feet anymore."

Shen Chulan held Yaoyao in her arms and rocked her to comfort her baby daughter.

What should I do if my daughter is too opinionated?

At noon, Yuan Laosan and Yuan Laoda found a suitable tree in the mountains and went down the mountain.

Of course, one tree is definitely not enough, not to mention that the new yard is so large that it will take a long time to replace all the rafters.

But the Yuan family is patient and will replace the serious parts first and then proceed with the rest slowly.

When Boss Yuan walked down the mountain hugging a big tree, he shocked the villagers who were rushing home for dinner.

This tree is so big that it would take two grown men to hug it with their arms outstretched. The tree rings are so rough that it is estimated to be a hundred years old.

I didn't expect that the new man from the Yuan family could carry such a big tree so easily without even taking a breath.

Everyone followed Boss Yuan and didn't even go home.

I watched as Boss Yuan turned around calmly and carried the tree back to the yard.

Yuan Laosan began to measure the size, and took the tools to start sawing the tree into wooden boards of appropriate length and thickness.

In less than a short while, a big tree was split into nearly a hundred pieces of wood.

The villagers were amazed when they saw it, saying that the son of the Yuan family had amazing skills.

Then, Boss Yuan climbed up to the roof beam and took down the rotten wooden boards and replaced them with new rafters. Half an hour later, all the rotten wooden boards in this place were replaced.

Old Lady Liu came out holding Yaoyao. Seeing so many villagers gathered at the gate, she invited them in for tea.

After seeing that there were no more ghost cries coming from the Lin family's yard last night, and looking at the several vigorous men of the Yuan family, she suddenly felt that it must be the strong yang energy of the Yuan family men that suppressed the wronged souls of the Lin family.

There was nothing to be afraid of anymore, so Old Lady Liu asked them to come in and sit for a while. They came in and surrounded Yuan San and Yuan Lao Da in the yard.

With this turn of events, the villagers felt itchy.

Although there won’t be heavy snow in the south in winter, there will be frost in this weather!

A thick layer of frost forms on the roof for a long time, and the roof is exposed to the sun for a long time, which will cause the rafters to rot.

Replacing the rafters every time is a huge project that is both time-consuming and costly. Seeing that the men in the Yuan family are so capable, the villagers thought that they could ask them for help after the Yuan family settles down.

After the villagers told this to Old Lady Liu, she said she would help after they had replaced all the rafters, built the kang, dug the cellar, and planted the vegetables.

There happened to be a bricklayer among the villagers who offered to help build the kang and dig the cellar.

Other villagers also expressed their willingness to come and help grow vegetables.

Old Mrs. Liu was happy because the villagers were willing to come and help, which meant they accepted their family.

At this time, Yuan Laoer walked in carrying a bow and arrow, a wild boar on his shoulder, and a white dog behind him.

This caused the villagers to exclaim again, the Yuan family is extraordinary!

Look, if they had one of the strengths of the Yuan family men, they would never go hungry!

Yuan Lao Er saw a few villagers standing in the yard, nodded to them and carried the wild boar into the kitchen yard.

In the morning, Old Lady Liu thought that there were more than fifty households in Lihua Village, and that two or three families from each household would definitely come to the banquet. Half a pig would definitely not be enough, so she asked Old Lady Yuan to go up the mountain to see if he could bring back another wild boar.

The main thing is the braised pork elbow. A pig only has four legs, and half a pig only has two legs, so there are not enough to share!

It’s my first time hosting a banquet in Lihua Village, so I can’t be stingy.

Mrs. Lin, who lives at the end of the village and came to deliver food to the Yuan family yesterday, praised, "Auntie, your sons are great. Each of them is the pillar of the family."

How could Mrs. Liu not be happy when someone praised her son? "Oh, there's nothing I can do. It's all because I'm poor."

Mrs. Lin's son went to the battlefield. Although he received three taels of silver every month, he had to rely on himself for everything when his son was not around. He was even reluctant to eat meat because it was earned by his son's life.

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Yes, they are all driven crazy by poverty."

Otherwise, how could any family be willing to let their sons join the army?

On the one hand, they were forced by the imperial court, and on the other hand, they had no money to bribe the conscription officials.

Most of the people in Lihua Village belong to the latter.

Old Lady Liu couldn't help but sigh when she thought about how most of the able-bodied men in Lihua Village had joined the army.

The Yuan family lived near the border, but they had not encountered forced conscription by the imperial court. Most of the time, it was a matter of personal wish.

She had never attended a private school but wanted to make a name for herself, so joining the army was the best option. However, the Yuan family did not need that. She and the old man just wanted the whole family to be together.

Seeing that most of the villagers who left were about her age, Old Lady Liu turned to her sons and said, "Please help us as much as you can in the future. They are all poor people..."
