The village chief passed by and saw Li Goudan standing there in a daze, and asked, "Goudan, what are you doing on the road?"

"Village Chief, I'll go back now."

"Wait a minute, is this the kerosene you bought? Why did you throw it on the ground?"

"I accidentally dropped it on the ground."

Li Goudan picked up the bottle and was about to run away.

Seeing him like this, the village chief stopped him and said, "Goudan, your parents passed away long ago, so I still want to tell you something. Don't think I'm being nosy. You're not a child anymore, you can't just sit around and eat up all the food you have. You have to go to work."

"Uncle Village Chief, I know. I'll go to work tomorrow."

He was in a panic and was afraid that people would know that he was planning to set fire, so he agreed very readily.

The village chief thought that he had listened to his words and was extremely relieved.

Sun Jiaxue locked the door and carried a small basket with an iron claw inside to go to the field to find Old Lady Li.

"Sister-in-law, where are you going?"

She didn't expect that Yang Daya was still in the room and didn't go out to work. As usual, she went to the fields early.

"Third sister-in-law, I'm going to the fields to find my mother. You can rest at home."

"Why take a break? I was really upset this morning. I'm going to be fine now. I'm going with you."

The children in the family go to dig bitter vegetables, wash them, dry them, fry them, and drink them as tea, which can relieve heat.

The bitter herbs are tender at this time of year, and if they are left for two days, they cannot be used to make bitter herb tea.

"Sister-in-law, why did you suddenly go to the fields? Could it be that Fourth Brother asked you to go to the fields?"

She looked at Sun Jiaxue with excitement.

I thought to myself that the young couple had finally figured it out. There's no such thing as too many work points.

"Yeah, let me go and accompany my mother."

Hmm? It seems different from what she thought.

Yang Daya looked at Sun Jiaxue with disappointment. She really couldn't understand what this young couple was thinking about all day.

Especially Li Mingqing, he was afraid of bumping and touching his wife. He was afraid that she would melt if he held her in his mouth, and afraid that she would fall if he held her in his hands.

With this in mind, it’s understandable why Li Xiangxia went crazy at home.

Mrs. Li and Zhang Chunya were assigned the same piece of land, and they could chat and work at the same time.

"My dear relatives, having many sons is good. Ming and Qing are very promising."

"What's good or bad? Your Shuiniu and his wife are so filial, and they even gave you two great grandchildren."

"Yeah, I'm pretty content anyway, but sometimes I still envy you."

The two of them were squatting there picking up stones and didn't notice Sun Jiaxue coming over.

"Mom, I'll work too."

When she heard the voice, Old Lady Li looked up and saw Sun Jiaxue wearing a big straw hat. Few people wore straw hats in this season for fear that the hats would be damaged, so they only took them out during the summer harvest.

She stood up and stretched her right leg, as it was numb from squatting for so long.

"Jiaxue, why are you here?"

"Mom, I'm bored at home and came to help."

"I haven't seen Jiaxue for a few days. She looks more and more beautiful. I heard from Lizhu that you want to raise two more ducklings. However, the ducklings have not hatched yet. I estimate they will be able to hatch in two or three days." Zhang Chunya said gently.

She has a particularly good impression of Li Jiaxue.

Li Lizhu said that she and Li Mingqing would give the child delicious food from time to time, and would call the child over to eat meat from time to time. Other families did not have such a good thing, and they might hide the meat.

"Aunt, please leave me two ducklings so I can pickle salted duck eggs in the fall."

"I'll pick two female ducks for you. Don't worry, I'll send them to you in two days."

Each member of the Li family raised two chickens, which they would kill and eat during the Chinese New Year. Only the chickens raised by Sun Jiaxue grew fast, and of course, only her chickens were fed with millet and cornmeal.

Every Chinese New Year, I rely on the two chickens at home as meat dishes.

Old Lady Li praised, "My dear, although Jiaxue is young, she is very good at raising chickens. She is better than me."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. They were all chicks from your house. We got them a few days later than Jiaxue, but we still can't compete."

Sun Jiaxue felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

The village chief's daughter-in-law, Li Tong, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but say, "Mingqing's wife, when are you free to come to my house? I've fed my chickens so much that they've become so skinny."

“Sister-in-law, I fed her casually. It’s all thanks to Brother Mingqing.”

"How can a grown man like him care about a little chicken? Don't be so modest. Come to my house after work and help me out."

Seeing her enthusiasm, Sun Jiaxue finally did not refuse.

Old Lady Li smiled and hoped that Sun Jiaxue would interact more with the villagers, otherwise she would be bored staying at home all day.

As soon as Li Mingqing arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhao Xiaoling asked, "How's it going? Is the rice ready?"

"Don't worry, everything is well prepared."

"You don't know, I was so excited when I woke up this morning, afraid something might happen. I'm finally relieved to hear what you said."

"Sister Zhao, let's wait patiently until the end of get off work."

After the two of them finished talking, they heard the sound of a car outside. They looked and saw that it was indeed a truck delivering goods from the county town to the mayor.

"Brother Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time. Has your sister-in-law given birth?"

Zhao Changgui's mouth stretched to the back of his ears when he heard this. "It's born. I've been busy taking care of her these past few days."

"Girl and boy?"

"Boy, brother, let me tell you, the baby looks really cute, chubby and everyone praises him."

"Congratulations."

The two men talked while moving goods from the car to the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Brother, are you really not going to the transport team? They've been recruiting people these past two days. It's a shame about your driving skills."

"I'm doing pretty well at the supply and marketing cooperative. Brother Zhao, can I still sign up even though I don't know how to drive?"
