The Xiao family.

Aunt Xiao had a sullen face and kept muttering to herself.

"These educated youth from the city are just pretentious."

“Other women give birth in the fields, but she’s been paralyzed at home for eight months.”

"This whole family, it's almost dark, and they're still out having fun."

"Does she expect me, this old woman, to come back from work and serve her?"

"Don't you even consider whether she has the fate to live up to it?"

If it weren't for the idea that he wouldn't need a dowry to marry her, and the fact that the educated youth sent to the countryside had some money on them...

She happens to have a gentle and easy-going personality, making her easy to manipulate.

Otherwise, she wouldn't even look at her; she's just a pretty face with no substance.

She's far inferior to the eldest son's wife.

"mom."

"Hmph~ You finally decided to come back?"

"Won't this whole family need to eat dinner tonight?"

"Oh, I'll go cook right away."

Where did this fish come from?

"It was sent by Su, a former educated youth. She saw that I was heavily pregnant and told me to make some fish soup to replenish my nutrition."

Aunt Xiao reached out and picked up the fish, weighed it in her hand, and her expression softened considerably.

“Your family is far away. If you have some good friends at the educated youth station, you can visit them more often.”

"Alright, go cook. I'll go pick some scallions and make some soup later. It's been a long time since we've had any meat at home."

Shen Chuntao lowered her head and hummed in agreement, then skillfully bent over and started a fire to cook.

A fish weighing over a pound was sliced ​​into small pieces, and most of the soup was poured out.

With a large family, cutting it into small pieces quickly will at least ensure everyone gets a little bit.

As soon as the dishes were served, Aunt Xiao quickly ladled out a bowl for her beloved son, Xiao Jian, and also scooped out a lot of fish and meat.

The second bowl was given to Xiao Quangui, the head of the household. Xiao Quangui didn't say anything and handed the bowl to Song Zaizhao across from him.

"Give it to the child. I'm an old man, it doesn't matter whether I eat it or not, the child needs to grow!"

Song Zaizhao didn't stand on ceremony and took it, then gave it to his five-year-old son, Xiao Jiabao, who was standing next to him.

"Chuntao, go and dig some dried radish out of the jar."

"With so many people, this amount of food is hardly enough."

Aunt Xiao gave Xiao Quangui another bowl of soup while instructing him.

Shen Chuntao swallowed hard, then slowly stood up, supporting her back. She hadn't felt this hungry in a long time.

By the time she took out the radish strips, only half of the half-bowl of fish soup remained, and she was about to sit down and eat.

"Chuntao, bring the tea over here."

"Yes, Father."

When I went to the kitchen to bring out the teapot, a large bowl of fish soup on the table had already been completely divided up.

Even Xiao Hu served herself half a bowl of soup, but everyone seemed to have forgotten about her.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and eat!"

Shen Chuntao's eyes dimmed. It was like this again; she was used to it.

Whenever there's something delicious, she's always asked to get this or that.

Every time she came back, it was gone.

During that time, no one said a word against her eating; in fact, they would even pretend to encourage her to eat more.

"Chuntao, eat more. You're taking care of two people now." Aunt Xiao put a small piece of pickled radish on her plate.

"Mom's talking to you, what are you standing there for? Eat up." Xiao Hu acted as if he were blind.

Song Zaizhao was feeding soup to his second son when he raised his eyelids in a mocking manner.

She looked down on her sister-in-law in the slightest.

Life is tough for everyone these days; if you want a better life, you have to work hard for it yourself.

If everyone is starving, how can you expect others to be kind enough to give you what's in their mouths?

With two children of her own, she had even less time or energy to care about others.

She was already very kind by not joining in the criticism.

Thinking of this, Song Zaizhao glanced at Xiao Hu, who was engrossed in eating, and felt even more contemptuous of him.

It's a miracle that this guy even has a wife; the Xiao family is incredibly lucky. It's rare to see someone this stupid.

Even if he doesn't love his wife, at least the baby in her belly is his, right?

He's nine months pregnant, but looks like he's six or seven months along, and he's not in a hurry.

Shen Chuntao lowered her head and ate the rice in her bowl, hot tears falling into the bowl.

She blinked hard, trying to hold back her tears, not daring to make a sound.

In your husband's family, if even your own husband doesn't care about you, no one will take you seriously!

It was early morning, before the sun had risen.

A hazy fog enveloped the entire Gaotang Brigade.

He saw Su Qingci carrying a fishing rod and walking towards him.

Song Jingzhou instinctively covered his left cheek with his well-defined knuckles.

He felt his face hurting again.

"Good morning, Brother Song!"

Su Qingci greeted Song Jingzhou in a soft and cute manner, her smile carrying a hint of ingratiation.

"Didn't you eat fish yesterday? Why are you here again today?"

"You should stay away from me."

"Brother Song, I need to discuss something with you."

"Can I borrow your bicycle?"

"I'm going to town."

"No way!"

"Brother Song~"

"Stop talking."

"I'm telling you, it's impossible, no way."

Su Qingci left with a long face.

She has bicycles and electric bikes on her farm, but it's not convenient to ride them out in broad daylight.

You can run into people all the time on the way to town; it's too conspicuous.

I wish I could get my own bicycle.

And watches.

There were alarm clocks and wall clocks on the farm, but no watches.

She used to have her phone with her 24/7, and felt that a watch was unnecessary.

But now that we don't have cell phones, watches are so important.
