The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Song Yuntang glanced in the direction of Xu Qingye.

"I'll go wash first."

Xu Qingye nodded, unloaded the mule cart, and led the mule to the wooden shed at the back.

Seeing this, Xu Yongwang hurriedly added some grass into the trough.

After washing his hair and body, Song Yuntang was too tired, so he put the dirty clothes in a basin and placed it next to the door, thinking of washing them tomorrow.

She took the handkerchief and went to bed, thinking of drying her hair and going to sleep.

After washing myself clean, I felt relaxed all over and extremely sleepy. I wiped myself for just a few times, and my hair was still dripping with water, but my body began to shake.

A strong arm supported her from behind.

Just as she was about to wake up, the man's calm voice sounded in her ears.

"Go to sleep if you're tired. I'm here."

Song Yuntang nodded and closed his eyes.

Xu Qingye sat on the edge of the bed, resting her head on his legs, letting her long hair hang down along the edge of the bed to prevent the water stains on her hair from wetting the sheets.

Then he took the handkerchief that had slipped from her hand and slowly absorbed the water from her hair.

Until her hair is completely dry.

He lifted her up gently and placed her on the inner side of the bed. He covered her with a quilt before lying down himself.

Thinking that I would be leaving in a few days, I felt a little worried.

I don’t know if this girl can take care of herself when he is not around?

……

Maochu.

It's still dark outside.

As soon as a chicken from some household in the village started crowing, Song Yuntang opened his eyes.

She had to get up early today. She had only bought fifty half-grown chickens before, and killed thirty of them yesterday, so only twenty were left. Before going to town, she had to go to the farm to buy chickens.

She had important things to do, so she didn't dare stay in bed for too long.

The seat next to him was empty. Xu Qingye had gotten up without knowing when.

Thinking of the scene of him wiping her hair before going to bed last night, the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise slightly.

After getting dressed, Song Yuntang opened the door. She wanted to wash the dirty clothes she had taken off last night, but the clothes and the basin by the door were gone. Looking up, she saw Xu Qingye rolling up his sleeves, shaking her clothes, and hanging them on a bamboo pole to dry.

As if noticing the gaze behind him, Xu Qingye turned around.

"woke up."

Song Yuntang hummed, a little embarrassed, "Why did you wash my clothes?"

Since her parents passed away, no one has ever washed her clothes, let alone washing them by hand. This feeling makes her feel very embarrassed.

Xu Qingye said calmly, "I got up early, and I thought you had something else to do today, so I washed together to avoid you getting too busy."

Song Yuntang swallowed and said dryly.

"Thank you."

Xu Qingye looked at her calmly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, then bent down, picked up the basin on the ground and handed it to her.

"We are husband and wife. There is no need to say such polite words in the future."

Hearing the noise, Jiang came out of the house while combing her hair and yawning.

Maybe it’s because the weather is cooler. These past few days, I’ve always felt sleepy and couldn’t wake up until dawn.

I usually get up at 1 a.m., but it’s only the beginning of the morning now. I got up half an hour early and I’m really sleepy.

Even she, a middle-aged woman who gets little sleep, felt sleepy, and she didn't know how these children could hold on.

"Tang'er, do you have anything to do this morning?"

Song Yuntang smiled lightly, "Yes, there is something, but there is no need for you to get up so early, we can just make breakfast ourselves."

Jiang yawned again, then pulled her hair back with a headband and said, "You're all grown up now, and I don't have much to do at home. Even if I need to go to bed, I'll make breakfast for you first. Don't let me worry about you being too busy at home or outside and getting tired later."

After saying that, she went to the kitchen.

Looking at her back, Song Yuntang didn't say anything more. He took a basin of water to wash his face. Then, while there was still some time, he took out the medicine powder that Xu Wencheng had ground earlier from the house.

Today is the 29th, and the goods from Taoxia Pavilion and Wanqingsi have to be delivered tomorrow. The goods ordered by the two families are still a little short, so they can be delivered this morning and brought to the farm together.

Xu Qingye was originally reading a book in the room. When he saw her start to move things, he hurried forward to help her.

Xu Wencheng was originally the one who slept the best in the family, but he was worried about something, so he got up early.

He yawned and walked out of the room.

Looking at my brother and sister-in-law who were busy working under the eaves.

"Brother and sister-in-law, good morning." He came in front of the two of them, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you wake me up earlier so I could help you."

Song Yuntang's hands kept moving.

"Wencheng, please go to my uncle's house and ask Liangping first. If he's willing to go to town, I won't look for anyone else. If he's not willing, I'll look for someone else."

"Okay, I'll go then."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Wencheng left the yard.

Hearing the voices outside, Jiang poked her head out of the kitchen and asked, "Tang'er, are you still short of people in your shop?"

"We're still short of a waiter. Wencheng said Liangping would be suitable. I figured since we're all family, I'd give him a try."

Jiang nodded. "Liangping is a smart man. If Qingye hadn't gone to the county to study, I would have wanted Wencheng to go with you to exercise. Over the years, your father and I have been taking care of Qingye's health and haven't thought much about Wencheng's future. That monkey is a lively one, and I don't know what he can do in the future."

"Wencheng is smart. Mom and Dad won't have to worry about her in the future." Song Yuntang looked at her. "If things don't work out, we're still here for you."

Jiang smiled and said, "You and Qingye both have your own strengths. Dad and Mom are counting on you both to succeed. It will be a pleasure to see you both succeed."

She said, walking towards the kitchen.

"I won't talk to you anymore. Mom has to go watch the firewood. You guys should hurry up and get busy. Breakfast will be ready soon."

Song Yuntang stretched his neck and looked towards the kitchen.

"Okay, mother."

She turned around and looked at Xu Qingye, "Have you thought about how to arrange Wencheng's future?"

Xu Qingye shook his head and said, "I was ill before and thought I wouldn't live long, so I thought of letting him learn to read and then find a relatively easy job in town so he could stay with my parents in my place. So I never deliberately asked anything of him. Now he's grown up, and what he wants to do is up to him. As long as it doesn't violate morality or the laws of Daxia, I respect his choice."

Song Yuntang felt that what Xu Qingye said made sense.

"That's true. Sometimes the path arranged by the family may not be what the child wants to take. It depends on what he wants to do."

Turning to look at him again.

"You're already well now. Don't ever worry about your life span again."

Xu Qingye raised the corners of his lips.

"That's natural."

Now that he has more constraints on him, he doesn't dare to have such thoughts easily.
