Old Mrs. Shen's fire stick was broken by Shen Qingshan. She stood in the yard with her hands on her hips. The scorching sun seemed to have turned her into a puff of smoke.

She was a little groggy.

How did it become like this?

Erwang and Sanwang had long disappeared, and Sanwa and Xiaocui had also run away.

So what about Goudan and Yaya?

There was no sign of them in the yard.

Baozhen, the third child from Shen Jun's family, who was the only one who took care of Shen Baozhi when she was on vacation, stood timidly in the main house. She also wanted to go to work and didn't want to stay with her grandmother.

However, she didn't dare to move without her grandmother's words.

Old Lady Shen stepped forward and slapped Baozhen, cursing, "You stupid girl, why don't you go chop grass for pigs? What are you doing standing there like an idiot..."

With tears in her eyes, Shen Baozhen hurried to the place where the pig food was piled, but she didn't know where to start. Although she was not favored by her parents, she had to take care of Shen Baozhi, so she didn't do much of the rough work.

Most of the time, they were responsible for fetching water for Shen Baozhi to wash her face, cleaning the house, or doing other odd jobs. They had never fed pigs.

When Old Mrs. Shen saw all this, her head ached slightly. She wanted to call Chen Li back from the wheat field, but she didn't dare. She really didn't dare.

But how do we do the work in this yard?

Baoyatou went to harvest wheat, and she didn't even have anyone to discuss things with. Old Lady Shen suddenly shouted, "This life is unbearable!"

Shen Baozhen was so scared that she almost chopped off her hand.

She gritted her teeth, stood up, and shouted, "Grandma, I'm going to help Sister Baozhi with the work."

Then, without waiting for the old lady to call her, she ran into the yard.

Before Old Mrs. Shen could come to her senses, Baozhen had disappeared.

It was only at this time that Old Mrs. Shen realized that in such a big Shen family, she was the only one there, and she had a lot of housework to do!

Feng Anchen drove the ox cart and came to Shen Mingxi and his group.

After talking to Li Qing for a few words, everyone started loading the bundles of wheat onto the ox cart.

Looking at the neatly bundled wheat behind Shen Mingxi, he felt a little sad. To be honest, this perfect labor force was not an exaggeration.

Moreover, the power of role models is truly infinite.

They are much better today than they were a few days ago.

The next moment, Feng Anchen narrowed his eyes. Why did he hear the girl who brought him food call Shen Mingxi "sister"? Shen Mingxi? The girl who brought him food seemed to have the surname Shen, but he forgot her name.

Are they sisters? After just one glance, Feng Anchen turned his eyes away calmly.

The following day, the Shen family was surprisingly peaceful.

Ji Daju and Old Lady Shen prepared lunch and dinner together. After all, she was a distant relative and Baoyatou's biological mother, so they couldn't just watch her fumble around in a panic.

Lunch was corn porridge and stewed eggplant and potatoes. It couldn’t compare with Chen Li’s cooking skills, but it was much better than the morning.

At least they are all cooked.

Old Mrs. Shen also acquiesced to Shen Mingxi's arrangement.

But his face was terribly gloomy, just like the dark clouds before a storm.

Fortunately, she kept Shen Baozhi in the afternoon, and Shen Baozhi saw that there was no hope for her and Feng Anchen to maintain their relationship, so she went along with it.

When Goudan and Yaya did not come back from cutting grass for the pigs, she did not scold them. She just glared at the two children who were so scared that they dared not say a word, and then left.

There was a large basin of clothes, and the clothes from the second and third rooms were taken out and washed separately. Shen Jun, in particular, almost fell down when he saw Shen Mingxi's half-smile.

But these are all small matters, because after dinner we still have to rush to harvest.

Fortunately, the weather is good today and the moon is about to be full, so even at night, the speed is no different from that during the day.

Uncle Shen was very happy and promised everyone that after the wheat was stored in the warehouse, he would invite the county projection team to show movies.

The villagers were very happy and worked more enthusiastically.

You know, for the people in Kaoshantun, watching movies is almost like celebrating the Chinese New Year.

When the people from the Shen family came back, the moon was already at its zenith. They were in no mood to talk or act weird, so they all went to bed.

Shen Baozhi finally summoned out the upset 009, and after collecting 10 points of misery, 009 took the initiative to cut off contact.

No matter how Shen Baozhi shouted, 009 did not answer.

Shen Baozhi was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, but she couldn't do anything about 009 for the time being.

In fact, she just wanted to ask 009 why Shen Yu was so easily persuaded by Shen Mingxi during the day.

This shouldn't happen. It's a bit unreasonable. I haven't encountered such a phenomenon in all these years.

But she couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, so she could only fall asleep in resentment.

Early the next morning, Wu Zhaodi got up again.

After she saw that her second sister-in-law cooked three meals a day yesterday, she temporarily gave up her fantasy. She guessed that Old Lady Shen had temporarily compromised and was waiting until the summer harvest was over before taking care of the eldest family. So even if she cooked, she could only do it for one day because the summer harvest would be over soon.

So she gritted her teeth and got up. Like Ji Daju, she hadn't cooked for many years and didn't know what to do when she got to the kitchen.

Yesterday, with the help of Old Lady Shen, Ji Daju managed to cook the meal. But today, no one took care of Wu Zhaodi. Even if she called Baozhen to her side, she couldn't do anything except light the fire.

Yes, for so many years in the Shen family, the housework and farm work were basically done by the eldest son. Now they suddenly let go. It would be strange if these people could get used to it.

But she and Old Lady Shen had no other relationship except that of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she did not dare to order Old Lady Shen to come out and help her cook.

Wu Zhaodi wanted to call Chen Li, but when she thought of Shen Mingxi's mouth, she gave up the idea.

So this morning was a mess again.

For the first time in his life, Old Man Shen felt that things that he took for granted could suddenly change.

Although the second and third wives still looked down on the first wife's family, they finally realized that there were so many things to do at home.

I didn’t feel it before, because I couldn’t feel the pain unless the knife stabbed myself.

Because no one made the dough last night, they couldn't make steamed buns with steamed flour. Old Mrs. Shen opened the cabinet door with a gloomy face.

She was exhausted yesterday, too.

Wu Zhaodi was cooking today, and she had no intention of helping out.

He scooped out a few bowls of cornmeal and threw them to Wu Zhaodi, asking her to make steamed corn bread, but Wu Zhaodi was as busy as Ji Daju.

Only then did Old Mrs. Shen feel uncomfortable at all.

Then suddenly I realized that the third brother's family had never cooked since they got married.

She is not even as good as her. At least she gives Shen Baozhi special treatment.
