Chapter 9 Liu Family (2/2)



Having a mother-in-law like this is neither good nor bad.

She can't touch anything good.

Seeing his sister-in-law helping to clean up after dinner, Ping Xianghong's eyes showed surprise: "Qingcao, you are not well yet, you should rest."

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Liu Qingqing quickly dropped the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and said, "Okay, I'm still dizzy, I'll just lie down."

"I'll clean it up, you just lie down." Zhang Dani said softly.

Ping Xianghong curled the corner of her mouth. She was indeed the adopted sister-in-law. With her character, I don't know how she was married into the Song family.

Patting her butt and entering the inner room, Liu Qingqing sighed that with her physical condition, she was redundant and couldn't do any work. Okay, she would just be a top-notch person.

The next day, the whole family went to work. Liu Qingqing slept well all night, and nothing happened after dark.

After having breakfast with everyone, he took his five-year-old niece Liu Lili for a stroll around the village.

Ping Xianghong's mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear when her sister-in-law asked to take care of the child.

This is the best thing that has ever happened to her. Her aunt has never even looked at her child since he was born.

Usually, she or her mother-in-law takes the children to the fields. While they work, the children play in the fields.

Although some families start working at the age of four or five to earn a few dollars, she is reluctant to do so. Her mother-in-law is also very understanding and does not force such a big child to work.

Before leaving, Ping Xianghong pulled Lili aside and whispered, "Be good to your aunt, okay? If she doesn't care about you anymore, go to the field where we were yesterday and wait for your mother."

Apart from her initial happiness, she was now a little worried about the child.

"I know."

Liu Lili agreed readily and turned around to look for her aunt.

Her aunt gave her a candy yesterday and she likes playing with her aunt.

The three of them walked towards the field, and Ping Xianghong looked towards the door every two steps.

"What are you looking at? What's there to worry about when Lili plays with her aunt? Can Cao'er sell her?" Mother Liu raised an eyebrow and looked at her daughter-in-law. She looked like she couldn't afford to live. If it weren't for this old woman like her, the whole family would have nothing to worry about.

Ping Xianghong was even more frightened after hearing what her mother-in-law said. Her sister-in-law suddenly changed her temper. She didn't think she would really sell her child.

Seeing her startled, Liu's mother became even more impatient and walked away with a swift step.

Ping glanced at Hong with a worried look on his face. He could not delay any longer. If he was late, his work time would be deducted.

"Aunt, where are we going to play?" The little girl's voice was so soft and cute that Liu Qingqing was almost melted by it.

She squatted down and touched Liu Lili's little black face. Her face was tanned and looked ugly, dark and red, and a little peeling.

"Take my aunt for a walk. She's injured and doesn't remember anything. Now I have to rely on you to lead the way."

Liu Lili puffed out her chest and said, "Then you better follow closely, little aunt, don't get lost."

This made Liu Qingqing giggle.

The two walked out of the yard hand in hand and strolled around the village.

The little girl introduced each house to her one by one. This one was Grandma Zhou's house, that one was Aunt Li's house. They soon finished visiting all the forty or so households in Taoshan Village.

Although my memory doesn't contain these things, the feeling I get from seeing it now is definitely different.

This is also related to everyone's understanding. Memory will be digitized based on a person's perception of things.

Because the village is not big, since responding to the call, there has been no other choice for the team leader, and the responsibility is entirely shouldered by one person in the village.

After all, there are only so many people in the village, and yet there are so many officials. It would be funny if there are more officials than people.

Although Taoshan Village has few people, it has a lot of fertile land.

Among the five villages in the Hexi Brigade, the other four villages were starving during famines, but Taoshan Village never had any.

More land means more food, and at the same time more labor is needed.

At the end of the season, the villagers are very busy. Other villages have already finished the autumn harvest, but they still have to continue harvesting for another half month.

This also made other villages very jealous, so when the educated youth came here, the other village heads used the excuse that Taoshan Village was short of people to push the educated youth to their villages.

But in reality, the educated youth who came here were all delicate and tender, and were not wanted by other villages. They could not do much work, and had too much to do. Every few days, the educated youth would make trouble and ask the village chief for help.
