The year is over.

All things come back to life.

The ice and snow gradually melted.

The trees are sprouting green buds.

A flock of wild ducks swam across the lake, quacking softly...

The ducks are the first to know when the river warms in spring...

Migratory birds returned to their nests, flying in a line over the rooftops, chirping softly...

Jiang Miaomiao was curious: what kind of bird is a chirp?

Let's call it a sparrow.

She had never seen a crimson sparrow before.

It didn't follow its companions, but the birds seemed to listen to it...

The baby opened its little mouth wide and stared intently at the red sparrow hopping up and down the peach tree branch.

He would glance at his older brother, who was practicing swordsmanship, every now and then.

The eldest brother's swordplay seems different from before. From the initial stumbling and faltering when he first wielded the sword, he is now as graceful as a dragon, with sword energy as powerful as a rainbow.

I don't know if it was because the sword was too heavy, or because my brother saw Chu Mingyuan's appearance.

I started to reflect on myself...

His baby fat has gradually faded, and he has grown into a handsome young man.

My second brother seems to be the kind of person who can eat a lot without gaining weight.

Shed your heavy winter clothes and put on your spring robe.

The spring breeze blows, and it feels like a person swaying in their clothes—what a dashing and handsome young man!

Little Miaomiao took off her little jacket, revealing her plump, white lotus root segments.

With all its might, it rolled and tumbled on the straw mat, huffing and puffing.

It flips over and over, rolling around like a chubby little ball.

No constraints!

The reason her mother moved her from the cradle to the straw mat was because...

It's because she's experienced countless terrifying incidents and has been tumbled out of the cradle countless times.

Sometimes it was her mother who caught her.

Sometimes it was Aunt Xiuxiu who caught her.

More often than not, it was her older brother who caught her.

Occasionally, it was her second brother who caught her.

In short, she was never hurt when she fell.

Every time she saw her older brother rushing over to pick her up...

Sometimes, Xiao Miaomiao feels that her older brother's weight loss is entirely due to her efforts.

She felt she was getting better and better at flipping through the pages, and as she flipped through them, she sat up...

"Mom, Aunt Xiuxiu, my little sister can sit up now!" Jiang Zifeng and Jiang Ziyan exclaimed as if they had discovered something incredible.

Then, the whole family came over to watch Jiang Miaomiao.

Watching her sit on the straw mat, sucking her fingers and chewing on a doll...

Mother: "Wow! My little girl could sit up at just five months old! She's smarter than her two older brothers..."

Brother and Aunt: "Yes, Miaomiao is amazing!"

The little baby grinned from ear to ear when praised.

Then she picked up the plush toy and started chewing on it...

She's been having itchy teeth lately, loves sucking her fingers, loves biting things, and still drools a lot.

Her mother cut down a pepperwood tree to make a teething stick for her, and her little white hands would take the teething stick and put it in her mouth.

Ah! That feels so good!

He was grinding his teeth and drooling...

There was also a little wolf cub lying next to him, dozing off.

Because of its snow-white fur, its family named it Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai is very close to Jiang Miaomiao's family because the first thing it sees when it opens its eyes is their family.

Jiang Xiaobai already considers them as family.

When the family goes out, it will stay home and guard the door obediently.

Jiang Miaomiao thought that a guard wolf was definitely more formidable than a guard dog; one howl from it could scare a thief so much that he'd wet himself in fear...

Aunt Xiuxiu was busy in the kitchen, glancing up at her every now and then. Seeing her sitting there obediently petting the ginger, she would lower her head again to continue with her own work.

After a while, Jiang Miaomiao saw her carrying a bowl and walking towards her.

The little baby became excited, waving his arms and legs and babbling.

She can eat food other than breast milk now.

Rice cereal, steamed egg custard, rice porridge, and vegetable puree...

After finishing her chores at home, Aunt Xiuxiu would often cook for her whenever she had free time.

Give her some to eat every now and then.

The little baby accepted everything offered, lying there with his round little belly sticking out...

Jiang Miaomiao had a strange feeling that her aunt was raising her like a pig!

……

Seeing her mother about to leave, she reached out for a hug...

My mother has been busier and busier since the beginning of spring.

He bought a vacant lot next door and built a house and yard on it. All the uncles, aunts and grandmas who sold bamboo shoots moved to the neighboring area.

The women who make dried bamboo shoots and pickled bamboo shoots all live next door.

The place was bustling with noise and activity.

The winter bamboo shoots are gone.

The bamboo shoots that are coming out now are spring bamboo shoots.

With the weather getting warmer, there are more bamboo shoots, and they are easier to harvest.

Although the price of spring bamboo shoots is not as high as that of winter bamboo shoots, the large ones can only be sold for 25 coins per catty, and the seller buys them for 13 coins per catty, while the small ones are sold for 8 coins per catty and the seller buys them for 5 coins per catty.

But its advantage lies in its large quantity.

So, apart from one or two people who stayed in the fields to plow in the spring, the whole family, young and old, went up the mountain.

Those who couldn't go up the mountain found work from Lu Qingyao.

Lighting the fire, peeling bamboo shoots, boiling bamboo shoots, cutting bamboo shoots, drying bamboo shoots...

There's always something they're good at.

Nowadays, not only the sons in the family can earn money, but the women can too.

They all stood up straight.

Because the quantity of bamboo shoots was too large, Lu Qingyao had to buy another oxcart and hire someone to pull it.

Jiang Yunhu was still put in charge of driving the truck to transport goods.

Although he was never home, he was happier than anyone else.

Liu Yuniang was so happy she couldn't stop smiling.

They bought a maid to take care of their mother at home. She and Jiang Qiao'er were responsible for supervising the production of dried bamboo shoots and pickled bamboo shoots.

One of them followed Lu Qingyao to collect bamboo shoots and check the accounts.

Ever since being forced into marriage by her aunt's family, Jiang Qiao'er no longer wanted to be a parasitic vine that depended on her parents and men.

She wants to learn how to do business from her aunt.

Both families hired people to cultivate their fields, as they both believed that food was the most important thing for the people.

This will never change.

The villagers of Taoxi Village were pleasantly surprised to discover it.

Ever since this Mr. Lu arrived.

Their land and property could be redeemed for very little silver.

As everyone's income increased, the practice of selling children became less and less common.

After all, if you have money, who would be willing to sell their children?

Unless one is insatiable.

More importantly, the village school has opened. Although it can only provide basic education, they are already very satisfied that their children and grandchildren can learn a few words.

I heard that Brother Jiang Jiayan donated many books to the school...

The Three Character Classic, the Thousand Character Classic, and the Standards for Being a Good Student and Child

He copied them all by hand.

……

Jiang Miaomiao is the youngest in her family and is still freeloading.

Right now, she's wailing and crying over four-year-old Jiang Wenxuan because this little guy stole her precious child...

Teething stick.

This is something you put in your mouth, how can you give it to someone else?

It's filthy! I don't want it!

They couldn't win by robbing, and they couldn't win by fighting.

Then cry, cry your heart out...

Even if this kid doesn't get beaten up, he'll still get a scolding.

Little Jiang Wenxuan was so frightened by the baby that he stood there stunned.

He didn't understand; he was just curious about what his sister ate... so he took it and licked it...

As a result, my sister cried... and cried very loudly!

His sister cried, and he cried too...

Xiuxiu rushed out of the house upon hearing the crying.

And that's what happened.

A five-month-old baby and a five-year-old boy are fighting over a teething toy, crying loudly at each other.

They cried harder and harder than the last.

Little Miaomiao blushed and burst into tears, her mouth agape.

It was heartbreaking to see them crying.

Jiang Xiaobai was tearing at Jiang Wenxuan's trouser leg.

Xiuxiu stood there, scratching her head, not knowing how to comfort her.

The master only told her to come and protect her sister's family, but he didn't say she had to take care of the children!
