The busy farming season is about to begin, so the plan for the literacy class has to be put on hold temporarily. However, Su Changhe's family at the east end of the village is still enthusiastic about preparing for the engagement banquet, and they are not slowing down at all because of the upcoming busy farming season.

"Have you heard? Su Changhe and Wang Chunmei asked people everywhere to exchange cloth coupons, meat coupons and industrial coupons. It seems that Su Zijie and Xu Jiaojiao's marriage is a done deal."

"Isn't this just like the lice on a monk's head?"

"That old woman Wang Chunmei is amazing. She can still jump around even with a limp in one leg."

"Jumping around?! You didn't see it. The old woman was leaning on her crutches, looking so smug! Oh! I don't even want to say anything about her. Poor Shen family's third daughter, not only is she in poor health, but she will also have to bear the reputation of second-hand goods in the future..."

"The third girl from the Shen family will probably only be able to find a widower whose wife has died or an old bachelor who is extremely poor."

"It's just bad luck for the third daughter of the Shen family to have to deal with Wang Chunmei and Su Changhe."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Wang Meili, who was squatting on the ground pulling weeds, stopped what she was doing, picked up a clod of earth and threw it in front of Tian Xiaorou who was a few steps away. Tian Xiaorou, who was listening to the gossip with her ears pricked up, was disturbed and looked up with some displeasure.

Seeing Tian Xiaorou looking at her, Wang Meili hooked her finger, motioning Tian Xiaorou to move closer.

Tian Xiaorou lowered her eyes to hide the annoyance in her eyes and slowly moved over.

"Do you know who the third girl from the Shen family they are talking about is?" Wang Meili asked in a low voice.

"I don't know!" Tian Xiaorou shook her head.

Compared with other production teams in Panshi Village, the Tenth Production Team is not large, but there are still several hundred people in total, young and old.

After a few days here, he went to work at dawn and left work at dusk, spending all day in the fields. How could he have the time to find out who the third daughter of the Shen family, who was at the center of the gossip, was?

I don’t know when these days will end.

"Remember the girl who rode the ox cart with us that day?" Wang Meili gave Tian Xiaorou a meaningful look.

"You mean, that girl is... the third girl of the Shen family?" Tian Xiaorou widened her eyes in shock.

After listening to Wang Chunmei, Su Changhe, the old Su family and the third daughter of the Shen family for a few days...

Wang Meili carefully looked around and lowered her voice, "Let me tell you another exclusive piece of information, from the village next door..."

"Auntie, can I ask you how to get to Shen Zhihuan's home?" At this time, a soft female voice was heard from the roadside.

Wang Meili's eyes lit up instantly and she stopped talking.

"What..." Tian Xiaorou frowned.

She stopped talking again after arousing people's interest.

"Shh!" Wang Meili put her hand to her lips and made a gesture for silence. She glanced at the side of the road, signaling Tian Xiaorou to listen carefully.

"Are you looking for the third girl from the Shen family?" Widow Chen put down her hoe and looked up and down at the pretty girl who was holding a piece of premium pork belly in her hand.

"Yeah!" The pretty girl nodded.

When they heard someone asking about Shen Zhihuan, people working nearby slowed down their work and pricked up their ears to listen.

Some people even put down their hoes and sickles and watched the fun openly.

The next moment, all the onlookers' attention was drawn to the pork belly held in the pretty girl's hand.

After a while, the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard one after another.

These days, for those people in the village who work hard in the fields, it is as difficult as climbing to heaven to have a good meal of meat.

Let’s not talk about money, let’s talk about tickets. There are only so many tickets issued in a year. Not to mention the large families, even for the small families, there must be at least six or seven people in a family! In addition, people are starving these days, so how much meat is needed to feed a large family? You can’t spend all the meat tickets for a year in one meal, right?

Besides, this meal is a good one, but what about next month? What about the next year?

"Are you her classmate?" Widow Chen glanced at the pork belly in the delicate girl's hand and swallowed secretly.

"No!" The pretty girl shook her head.

"Then are you her relative?" Widow Chen asked tentatively.

"Auntie, can you tell me where she lives? After delivering the things, I have to hurry back to cook." The delicate girl frowned slightly, but when she thought of her brother's instructions, she suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart.

"You are the one who built the country. Your relatives are here." Unable to bear the widow Chen's questioning, a middle-aged woman nearby shouted loudly to Li Qiuhua who was a few fields away.

Li Qiuhua, who was weeding, was startled when she heard someone calling her.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

relative……

Does she still have any relatives? Li Qiuhua smiled self-deprecatingly, put down the hoe, and strode towards the roadside.

"Aunt, are you Sister Zhihuan's mother?" Without waiting for Li Qiuhua to come closer, the pretty girl came forward with a smile.

"Who are you?" Li Qiuhua looked confused.

"My name is Zhu Xiaoxiu, my brother's name is Zhu Dazhuang, and we are from the same village as Sister Zhilan. My brother asked me to bring some eggs, meat and rice to Sister Zhihuan." The pretty girl raised the big piece of pork belly in her hand, then turned around and pointed at the cloth bag and basket she had placed on the side of the road.

Eggs, rice...

The onlookers followed the direction of Zhu Xiaoxiu's finger and discovered the flowered cloth bag and basket on the side of the road. Judging from the size of the flowered cloth bag, there must be at least 20 to 30 kilograms of rice inside, and the eggs filled the basket.

"You and Zhilan are from the same village..." Li Qiuhua suddenly remembered what his second daughter said yesterday, and his face instantly turned ugly.

"Please take all these things away! We have enough food and drink at home and don't need anyone's help." Li Qiuhua said as he was about to turn around.

"Aunt, don't get me wrong. My brother and I didn't mean that. My brother knew that Sister Zhihuan was not in good health, so he asked me to bring it here to help Sister Zhihuan to nourish her body." Zhu Xiaoxiu said hurriedly.

"We appreciate your kindness, but you should take the things back!" Li Qiuhua forced a smile, realizing that he had overreacted.

"Aunt, please accept it! If you don't, my brother and mother will blame me for not knowing how to do it." Zhu Xiaoxiu pretended to look pitiful.

Li Qiuhua sighed, "I won't accept the things, young lady. To be honest, my Zhihuan is weak and can't work in the fields to earn work points or take care of her parents-in-law. I'm worried about her marrying anywhere, so I plan to keep her at home. If I can find a good man in the future, I will find her a son-in-law. If not, I will support her for the rest of her life."

"Sister Zhihuan is in poor health. My mother and my brother know about it. My mother and I take care of household affairs, and my brother and my three nephews take care of money-making matters. Aunt, don't worry! My mother is not the kind of person who can't tolerate her daughter-in-law. She will never let Sister Zhihuan suffer any grievances." Zhu Xiaoxiu said bitterly.

Before coming, her mother looked distressed, thinking that her brother gave her too much...

"You should go back quickly! I have things to do in the fields!" Li Qiuhua said and left without looking back.
