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

"It's not that I don't understand at all..." Xu Wencheng scratched his head awkwardly, "It's just that it's always been like this in previous years, and it's daytime now..."

Jiang's face was stern.

"No matter whether it's day or night, you are not allowed to run into your brother and sister-in-law's room casually from now on, understand? Your sister-in-law is a woman after all. If people knew that you always stayed in the same room with your brother and sister-in-law, and if they misunderstood, your sister-in-law's reputation would be ruined."

Xu Wencheng realized that his behavior was inappropriate and lowered his head even lower.

"I see."

Jiang sighed helplessly.

"Wait here. Mom will light a charcoal stove for you. Then I'll ask your dad to clear out the debris from your kang and light it up for you."

Xu Wencheng quickly stood up and returned to his heartless self again.

"Mom, let me help you."

……

In the room, Song Yuntang looked in the direction of Xu Qingye with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Is there no kang in Wencheng's room?"

Xu Qingye said calmly, "Yes, but my parents piled some miscellaneous items inside his kang. In previous years, before I got married, he always stayed in my room during the winter, so he never used it."

"Why don't you clear out the debris and burn it for him too? Although it hasn't snowed this year, it's frozen over quite a bit. It's really cold."

In the original owner's memory, there would be several heavy snowfalls in Cile Town every winter.

This year is especially strange.

After the heavy rain that lasted for so long some time ago, the weather seems to be dry again.

It really is a year of natural disasters.

Even the weather is unpredictable.

Xu Qingye looked at her.

"Don't worry, Mom and Dad will burn it for him."

Song Yuntang nodded.

Seeing that the temperature in the room was rising and her outer clothes were no longer comfortable to wear, she stood up, took off her cotton coat and changed into a thinner padded jacket.

This was one of the few times that Song Yuntang changed clothes in front of Xu Qingye. Just one look at him and a flame inexplicably started to rise in his body.

He cleared his throat and looked away.

Although they are married, the girl is still young after all. If she is taken away too early, it might harm her body.

While you can still bear it, take care of it for a while.

Song Yuntang didn't know what Xu Qingye was thinking. After changing his clothes, he lay on the bed and started reading a book.

This time, she was not reading a storybook, but a medical book that Mrs. Qin had collected from somewhere and gave it to her.

There were three volumes of medical books in total, which were delivered to her two days ago as a New Year gift.

At first she didn't take it too seriously, but the night before she came back she flipped through a few pages and realized that the content conflicted with some of her own understandings, so she packed it in her luggage and brought it back with her.

After all, it's something she's good at.

He was flipping through the pages with a very focused look on his face.

Seeing that she was reading seriously, Xu Qingye did not disturb her. He sat down at the desk and picked up a book to read.

……

Around the end of the hour of Wei, Jiang said hello to her family and went to the old house to cook.

Half an hour later, Xu Yongwang came back and asked his son and daughter-in-law to go with him.

After dinner, Zhang said that she had heated up a pot of water on the stove before going out, and she wanted to wash Huer before it got dark, and she would have to wait until after the New Year to wash him.

When Hu'er heard her say that she had heated a pot of water, he suddenly pouted in fear and started sobbing.

The adults nearby were all panicked when they saw that he was fine but suddenly dropped beans.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying for no reason?" asked Mrs. Hu.

Hu'er looked at her as if asking for help.

"Grandpa, can Tiger not go home tonight and just stay here?"

Mrs. Hu softened her heart and patted his head, saying, "Okay, Hu'er, if you want to stay, then stay. Go back with your grandma to wash first and then ask her to bring it back, okay?"

Tiger sniffed and shook his head.

"not good?"

Hu was puzzled, "Why?"

Faced with everyone's puzzled gazes, Hu'er cried and said, "My grandma heated up water twice at Grandma's house today. The first time, Xiao Huang died. The second time, Grandma's sheep died. Now I'm heating up Hu'er, and I'm scared..."

Xiao Huang is the name Huer gave to the chicken we ate today.

Seeing that the child was getting sadder as he spoke, everyone was at a loss for words.

I just thought the child was frightened by the slaughter of chickens and sheep today.

Xu Wencheng was the first to understand Hu'er's concerns, and he laughed so hard that tears came out.

Jiang looked at her youngest son as if he were a fool.

"What are you laughing at? Are you stupid?"

"No." Xu Wencheng covered his stomach and said while suppressing a laugh, "Didn't you hear it? Hu'er saw his aunt boiling water and killing chickens and sheep today, and thought she was boiling water to kill him too."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

Seeing that everyone was laughing, Hu'er cried even harder.

The sounds of laughter and crying mixed together, and the room was extremely lively for a while.

Zhang held Hu'er in her arms and talked to him for a long time before she finally calmed the child down.

Seeing that the child was still reluctant to take a bath, I didn't force him and planned to heat up the water for him to take a bath tomorrow.

……

On the first day after returning, they went straight back to Lushan Village. Song Yuntang had not been to the farm for some time. The next day, he happened to be free, so he asked Xu Wencheng to harness the carriage and took Xia Ning to the farm.

After walking around the fields and mountains, she went to the cellar and picked out the better quality wine that Uncle Pan taught her to brew in September, sealed it in a few small jars, and buried it under the peach tree planted in autumn.

He also told Fang Tianci that if the wine shop's business resumed next year, these jars of wine should not be moved.

Fang Tianci naturally nodded in agreement.

Jiang Zhiyan and Tian'er stayed at the farm for a while. Seeing that the people here were nice, they settled down there peacefully.

There are two older brothers, Fubao and Xiaobao, living in the village. Tian'er, who was originally a bit introverted, has become much more cheerful these days.

Today she was wearing the pink flowered jacket that Jiang had made for her, with two little buns tied on her head, and two tassel headbands of the same color as her clothes, looking extremely festive.

"Sister Xier, Fubao's father hasn't come since then, right?" Song Yuntang looked at her and asked, as it was a rare moment when everyone had some free time.

Chen shook her head.

"He didn't come to the manor. I don't know how he knew I was working at the tavern. He went there last month and said he regretted it and wanted to take Fubao and me back home to live, but I didn't agree."

Tao Xia said from the side, "That's definitely not something I can agree to. He's clearly just looking at you doing well and wants to take you home to live off you. Just jump into the fire pit once, don't jump in again. Besides, I think Ma Zi is much better than him."

If Ma Zi hadn't been there to contrast him, Tao Xia wouldn't have said much.

After all, these days, women still have to rely on their husbands to make a living.

Chen must eventually find a home.

But looking at Ma Zi's attitude towards Chen recently, he looks after her children and helps her with housework. Maybe he didn't have any thoughts at the beginning, but after so many months and being so familiar with Fubao, he must have some thoughts.

Even though he knew that she had a child, he still treated her child as his own.

Without a doubt, she stood with pockmarks.
