Sanwa was so scared that he quickly hid behind Xia Manni.
For a moment, the courtyard was filled with laughter, and the neighbors were all a little puzzled. Why did this family become even happier without Daxiuniang and Daxiu?
Maybe they are just happy because they are poor.
The people in the Xia family didn't know that they were being labeled as poor and happy. At this moment, those who should wash sweet potatoes were washing sweet potatoes, those who should chop wood were chopping wood, and those who should pickle salted fish were pickling salted fish. It was obviously time to rest after dinner, but none of the children felt sleepy.
