Xie Yushu took a closer look at Xiao Yi's house, and it was considered her home now.
The courtyard is at the entrance of the village. There are three thatched houses in total. They are quite spacious, but the thatch on the roof is a bit scattered, making the house look a bit shabby.
The walls of the house are made of stone, which is very smooth and thick. If the roof is repaired, the house will be good.
The yard is also quite spacious. Except for the three thatched houses, the two acres of land are surrounded by thorns to form a vegetable garden.
Xiao Yi took Xiao Jinyu to live in the east room, and she took Xiao Haitang to live in the west room, with the kitchen in the middle.
Although Xiao Yi married her back, the two did not consummate their marriage, but slept in separate rooms.
In the memory of the original owner, it seemed that Xiao Jinyu's mother had a will that Xiao Yi could not get married and have children until Xiao Jinyu grew up.
Now Xiao Yi had no choice but to marry her, but he obviously didn't forget his ex-wife's instructions. The original owner was a little worried about this, but she accepted it happily, and she couldn't stand that she suddenly had a man!
Xiao Jinyu is four years old. She has delicate features but is a little thin.
In this age, it is difficult not to be thin. The fat man, the landlord and old rich man in the next village has lost a lot of weight, let alone the ordinary people!
Haitang is six years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a sense of heroism and a bit of Xiao Yi. He must have followed his father Xiao Laosan, and he is also skinny and weak due to the harsh treatment of his age.
Since this place is located in the north, there is no bed in the house, but a heated bed.
The two returned to the house, and Xie Yushu fell asleep on the kang.
The original owner traveled quite a distance this time to find a piece of slightly moist land and dug a hole to get this little water!
These days, I only drank a little porridge and a few sips of water every day, and ran such a long distance. I was already exhausted, and I didn't wake up until the evening.
At this moment, only half of the sun's face is hanging on the top of the mountain, and the weather is finally no longer scorching. People are panicking!
Xie Yushu instinctively wanted to take a shower, but then she thought that washing her face was a luxury now, so she could only accept her fate and go out to cook. She was going to be as hungry as a piece of paper!
When I got to the kitchen, I saw that Xiao Haitang had already lit a fire, and the pot was steaming, smelling a bit like sweet potatoes.
"Second Mother"
"Um,
What's in the pot? "
“Sweet Potato Corn Leaves Porridge”
"Okay, I'll set the table!"
Seeing that Haitang was very skilled at making fire, Xie Yushu stopped caring. She turned around, took out the bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the table outside. Then she sat in the yard and enjoyed the cool air with a cattail leaf fan.
After a while, the meal will be ready
"Xiao Yi, Xiao Jinyu, come out to eat!"
Xie Yushu shouted
Xiao Yi, who was fanning Xiao Jinyu, raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
There was a bit of carelessness in the crisp voice, which made him feel strange!
Even Xiao Jinyu raised his head, although he could not see Xie Yushu.
Xiao Yi took Xiao Jinyu out to eat
The sweet potato and polenta were already set, and Xiao Jinyu called out weakly.
"mother!"
Xie Yushu was stunned for a while before she realized that she was calling herself.
"Hey! What a big boy! Let's eat!"
After saying that, he uncomfortably picked up the bowl and started eating!
So embarrassing! She suddenly becomes a mother, but she doesn’t know how to do it!
The eldest child Xiao Jinyu picked up the small spoon and took a mouthful of porridge in a daze.
Xiao Yi saw that he was eating well, so he also picked up a bowl and started eating!
A thin bowl of sweet potato and polenta mixed with some leaves. It was slightly bitter and not full, but at least I couldn't starve to death!
Several people were drinking the porridge from their bowls with great care, when they heard a voice of questioning.
"Second daughter-in-law! Did you steal the water from the fourth daughter-in-law, you uncultured little poisonous woman! You want to thirst your brother to death!"
Our fourth child is a scholar and will have a great future! If he wants something wrong, I will kill you! "
Xie Yushu turned around and saw a tall, thin old lady with a long face and triangular eyes walking in aggressively, followed by Xie Yujiao!
Mrs. Xiao walked straight up to Xie Yushu and raised her hand to hit her. Xie Yushu also stood up and raised her feet out of instinct.
Xiao Yi stood up one step ahead of her and stood in front of her.
Mrs. Xiao's slap hit his chest. She shook her hands in pain and cursed.
"This is outrageous! You evil deed, I am your mother, how dare you attack me!"
After saying that, he wanted to hit again, but looking at the evil obstacle in front of him, his bones were as strong as iron, and he was still hard. It was okay to hit him, but his hand hurt, so he had to retract his slap, pointed at Xie Yushu and said to Xiao Yi
"Your wife is a poisonous woman. All the water your sister-in-law worked so hard to fetch has been snatched away by her! You have the nerve to drink the water you snatched without fear of choking to death! Hand over the water quickly!"
Xiao Yi still stood in front of him, letting Mrs. Xiao point and said:
"This water was brought by Yushu herself. Yushu went out to look for water at dawn. The fourth brother-in-law went out only after the sun shone for three poles. I saw her outside the door. At this time, there was no water near Luofengpo. She went out to look for it. Everyone who knows water knows that you have to go to the edge of the mountain to get water. My fourth sister-in-law went out at about nine o'clock and returned at noon. This time is not enough time to reach the edge of the mountain!"
Xie Yujiao rolled her eyes and said
"Who said we have to go to the edge of the mountain? I found a water source nearby that no one else had discovered. I got this water. My second sister-in-law took it away because she was stronger than me! Mom, my husband is so thirsty! We are all mute, my second sister-in-law wants to watch us die!"
Mrs. Xiao also spoke
"Get the water out!"
Xie Yushu laughed angrily, she just didn’t want to be reasonable!
But Xiao Yi didn't move, and neither did she. Old Mrs. Xiao turned to Xie Yujiao and said
"Go find it, and let me see who dares to stop you!"
Xie Yujiao hurriedly said after hearing this
"Hey! Mother is still fair! In the future, the fourth child and I will honor you well. When the fourth child becomes an official, he will definitely earn you a royal wife!"
After saying that, she bypassed Xiao Yi and ran to the kitchen. After taking only two steps, a wooden stool flew out with a bang and bit her into pieces!
"Xie Yujiao, did I warn you at noon that if you mess with me again, I will be rude to you!" Xie Yushu said leisurely
Xie Yujiao chewed a mouthful of dirt and angrily complained to Mrs. Xiao.
"Mom, look at her, she is overbearing and she beats me in front of you. She doesn't even take your mother-in-law seriously!"
"Second brother, have you seen that your daughter-in-law is disrespectful to your mother and she deserves a beating? If you beat her, hit her hard. If you don't beat her honestly, she won't be a wife!"
Mrs. Xiao scolded her repeatedly
"Mom, Xie Yushu brought the water. She was right!"
"You, okay, okay, you have a daughter-in-law, your wings are hard! If you don't want to beat her, I'll do it! Now I have to teach her how to be a wife for others!"
After Mrs. Xiao finished speaking, she turned around, grabbed the broom and was about to shout at Xie Yushu, but was stopped by Xiao Yi again. The angry old lady sat on the ground and howled.
"Ouch! I can't live anymore! Oh my life! I gave birth to an unfilial son! I married a daughter-in-law and forgot about my mother! I don't even give the mother-in-law a drink of water. Come on, come and judge me! It’s unreasonable! My little daughter-in-law is going to change the world...
Xiao Yi is as stable as Mount Tai
Xie Yushu leisurely watches a movie
No one is watching at the door
She didn't even think about it. At this time, people were hot, thirsty, and didn't have enough to eat. Who would have the energy to join in the fun?
The old lady couldn't continue acting, so she patted her butt and yelled at Xiao Yi
"Second brother, do you really want to see your mother die of thirst? Are you going to get some water today? If not, I will crash to death in your courtyard. I will be so angry that you are so unfilial. I will ask the Yamen to arrest you. Behead!"
