But after repeated consideration, An Hongdou decided to give it a try.

She also asked Mrs. An about working in the fields. It was usually okay, but during the busy farming season, they were busy all day long, especially the harvest work, which had to be done day and night.

She still yearns for freedom more.

As for the stench in the cowshed and pigpen, she felt that as long as she changed her clothes and took a bath frequently, she would definitely not be contaminated by the smell.

Seeing that An Hongdou had her own reasons, and also because she couldn't bear to see her daughter go to the fields, Mrs. An agreed.

The young girls who had just started working had tender skin, while the educated youth from the city still had blisters on their hands and feet from time to time.

When I think about it this way, the work in the cowshed and the pigsty is not that bad except for the bad smell.

Besides, it's far away from the village, so it's convenient to slack off and eat something.

Of course, it also made it convenient for An Hongdou to go up the mountain.

After dinner was ready, the whole family sat at the table. Of course, because the family members were too large, they could only be divided into two tables.

There happens to be a large square table and a small square table at home, and the food is the same.

There is no shortage of food in this season. Every table is placed with a big pot of stir-fried pork and beans, served with steamed buns made of two-layer flour and a bowl of sweet potato porridge for each person. It tastes delicious.

Old Mrs. An looked around and found that Li Xiaomi had not come out to eat, but the two grandsons from the second wife were there.

She was a little angry at first, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was unnecessary.

When everyone was halfway through eating, she said, "Second brother, go get a bowl and scoop out some of the food and send it to your wife."

If it were an ordinary old lady, she would hope that her son and daughter-in-law would have a bad relationship, so that the importance of being a mother-in-law can be shown.

But Mrs. An is different from others.

When she was young, her husband obeyed her orders and understood that if a couple wanted to live a good life, the woman in the family was the key.

These minor frictions now will naturally disappear after we separate.

However, you can't let your son and daughter-in-law become estranged from each other, otherwise you would be really harming your son.

An Hongwei hadn't originally intended to let Li Xiaomi go hungry, but everyone in the family knew that they had been arguing, and if he took the initiative to save food for her, it would be like him admitting defeat first.

An Hongwei didn't think he had done anything wrong, and given the prevalence of machismo in this era, he couldn't bring himself to admit his mistake.

But Mrs. An's words finally solved his problem.

After bringing the food back to the room, Li Xiaomi was still lying on the bed, her back trembling and sobbing from time to time.

An Hongdou put the food on the table and said, "Mom asked me to bring you some food."

Li Xiaomi finally figured it out and realized that it would be no good for her if she continued to make such a fuss.

What's more, there are stairs right in front of me. If I don't come down quickly, I'm afraid there will be more air behind me.

She simply stood up, wiped away her tears, and Li Xiaomi came over and sat on the bench to eat.

After taking two bites of rice, she said, "I was wrong about what happened today. I shouldn't have thought about my little sister so much. I won't do this again in the future."

According to Li Xiaomi's usual personality, even if she was very upset, she would not show it so obviously.

But what happened today just happened and it made everyone lose face.

Maybe it’s because I’m still angry from yesterday.

An Hongwei just hummed and said, "Then you eat first. I'm going out to eat too."

Life has to go on. Which couple doesn’t quarrel?

No one would waste their life because of such a trivial matter.

After dinner, Li Xiaomi also came out and took the initiative to help clean up the dishes.

Only then did Mrs. An nod with satisfaction, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

Up to this point, the conflict between the second wife and her husband was over.

An Hongdou said to Old Lady An, "Mom, I'm going to my second uncle's house."

"Go ahead. Aren't you going to work in the cowshed? You have to tell your second uncle first." said Old Lady An.

An Hongdou walked out of the house, took out her bamboo basket from the space, took out the only remaining roasted pheasant and put it in, then grabbed a handful of wild grass to cover it, and then walked forward with the basket.

At present, it seems that although this second uncle dislikes her a lot, he is always willing to help her when it is necessary.

She also has to behave well, and whether out of affection or benefit, she should establish a good relationship with her second uncle.

Andelai and Miao Hong had two sons and one daughter. Except for the youngest daughter who was still unmarried, the two married sons had been separated.

On this point, An Hongdou felt that her second uncle was wise and worthy of being the team leader.

Looking at the whole village, only their family has no conflicts of interest but is constantly in conflict all day long.

Of course, a lot of this was also due to Captain Andelai’s identity, and neither of his two daughters-in-law dared to act unruly in front of him.

When An Hongdou arrived, Miao Hong was using dishwater to cook pig food, and An Maixiang was reading a book at the door with a candle lit, enjoying the cool air, which made An Hongdou's eyes brimming with envy.

All three of Ande's children are literate, although their educational level is generally not high.

Even though it was difficult for children to study at that time, he still used food to allow his children to live with relatives who lived close to the school.

For this reason, An Hongdou had to sigh again at his wise move.

Miao Hong was stunned when she saw An Hongdou coming over, then she asked, "Hongdou is here? Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten, Second Aunt. I have something to discuss with Second Uncle. Is he home?" After asking, An Hongdou handed over the basket in her hand and whispered, "This is the pheasant I roasted in the mountains today. I brought one for Second Aunt to enjoy as a snack."

"Oh, kid, when did you learn to be so polite!" Although she said this, Miao Hong still couldn't stop smiling.

Miao Hong took the bamboo basket, lifted the weeds on it and took a look, then said with satisfaction: "Your second uncle is soaking his feet in the house, you can go in."

"Oh." An Hongdou responded and then went into the house.

After An Hongdou walked in, An Dekai had just wiped his feet.

Maybe it was because An Hongdou had worked all day today. Regardless of whether she did a good job or not, compared to her previous laziness, she had at least made some improvements. When An Delai faced her, he smiled a little, "How was your work today? Are you tired?"

That's what Andelai asked, but if An Hongdou really dared to answer that she was tired, he would definitely give her a cold face immediately.

Looking around the whole village, only children would do the job of cutting grass for pigs.

It’s not that cutting grass for pigs is tiring and you don’t earn work points. On the contrary, it’s too light a job but you earn a lot of work points. So it’s an unwritten rule and no adult would compete with the children for the work.
