So what exactly happened?
Su Jiaoniang looked at Deng Shi. She hadn't seen her for a few days, and Deng Shi had lost a lot of weight. Only her belly was swollen.
Meeting Su Jiaoniang's questioning gaze, she opened her mouth, but ultimately swallowed all the negative emotions, such as resentment and discomfort, inside.
Old Su, a scholar, carried a bundle on his back and followed Deng Shi outside.
The cat brought back from the provincial government got into a fight with the two dogs in the yard, and chaos ensued.
The quiet atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became relaxed.
Su Jiaoniang looked at Xie Shi.
Heading towards the kitchen, Xie recounted the mess that had happened to Deng.
"Your younger brother has caught someone's eye in the county town. It's said that he's the sister of Officer Chen. The two have been seeing each other for a while, but Madam Deng couldn't stand it and refused to let that Miss Chen come to our house."
It's not right for a young woman to always be going to the homes of married men.
Then the conflicts slowly accumulated.
This morning, when Madam Deng saw Su Li holding that Miss Chen, she instantly broke down and asked the old man to go home.
As he spoke, Mr. Xie shook his head.
Few young couples can stay together for a lifetime.
Life is full of friction and temptations.
The affection and fate between husband and wife are all illusory.
As she spoke, Xie became angry, saying that her man was no better.
"I see!" Su Jiaoniang thought about the work Su Li was doing now and her appearance, and she understood a little.
She's good-looking, not too old, and although her family isn't wealthy, she's still considered a "civil servant." Crucially, she doesn't have a mother-in-law. Such a family background is indeed very attractive to most young women.
He glanced at Xie Shi and said, "Let Old Man Guo stay in the next village for the next few days. After this incident, there will probably be some trouble there. We need to keep a close eye on the old and the young."
Su Jiaoniang was worried because only Old Scholar Su was there.
You know, young couples, when they're in a bad mood and get carried away, are capable of doing anything.
Old Su, the scholar, was also frail and weak.
Xie nodded and walked towards the field.
After speaking with Old Guo, who was turning over the soil, Old Guo tossed the hoe to Huang Erlan and headed towards the next village.
Su Jiaoniang was relieved.
I realized it had been a long time since I'd visited the orphanage for the disabled.
His gaze fell on Lu Wujiu: "Do you want to go to the county town?"
"We're going." Lu Wujiu nodded, and the two rode in a mule cart towards the county town.
The number of people in the orphanage for the disabled has increased.
Su Jiaoniang went inside and saw Grandma Fang washing clothes.
Diapers and children's clothes were drying in the yard.
The sounds of a child learning to speak can be heard coming from a dilapidated room in the corner.
Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe was vast and boundless.
The child's voice was tender and full of youthful vigor.
Su Jiaoniang walked over and saw a child with unclear pronunciation mixed in with her, reciting along with him.
The accent he spoke was very unclear.
But it's a pleasant thing to listen to.
Tiger Girl and Wang Lian were rocking the little cradle in the room!
Wang Lian's grandparents took on a job frying chicken to supplement the income of the orphanage for the disabled.
Lu Wujiu looked at the people in the courtyard, the old and the young, the disabled, but everyone was filled with hope for tomorrow.
I want to see a better life in the future.
Perhaps, the State of Qi should really learn from women.
How can we make the country prosperous and the military strong? How can we make the country wealthy and the people strong?
Lu Wujiu looks forward to the growth of hybrid rice.
Some things can only be promoted if the rice grows and the people have enough to eat.
Su Jiaoniang helped clean the courtyard and walked over to Hu Niu, asking, "Are you tired? Do you want to go play?"
Tiger Girl's eyes lit up.
The hand that was rocking the stroller paused for a moment, and the little girl inside seemed to become uneasy and began to cry softly.
Tiger Girl immediately shook her head: "I'll go out to play when they're older and can sleep by themselves. I won't be tired."
It's exhausting, no doubt about it.
Su Jiaoniang took over the task of rocking the cradle and asked Hu Niu to take Wang Lian outside to buy candied hawthorns, silk flowers, and red ribbons.
In the prime of youth, girls all love to look pretty!
Who wasn't a teenager in their youth?
At least in the future, when they look back, the girls' youth will have something worth remembering.
Instead of having memories that are filled with taking care of the kids and doing laundry.
Seeing Su Jiaoniang take action, Lu Wujiu naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch.
However, he exuded an aura of ruthlessness.
As soon as you get close to the baby, you can hear soft, whimpering cries coming from the room.
Su Jiaoniang was so angry that she kicked Lu Wujiu out.
Lu Wujiu took a saw and scissors and pruned the jujube tree in the yard, then grafted several branches from other trees onto it.
The varieties of dates are different, and I don't know what they taste like.
Lu Wujiu, who originally belonged to Lucheng, knew very well which jujube tree in the old city had the best taste.
Night fell.
Tiger Girl and Wang Lian returned from outside, beaming with joy.
Both of them had a red ribbon in their hair, and their lips seemed to be coated with honey.
You can smell the sweet aroma as soon as you get close.
Several people who worked at the velvet flower shop also returned.
The children walked into the courtyard, their faces showing weariness, but the moment they saw Su Jiaoniang, their fatigue vanished, and they happily clung to her side.
They chattered away as if they had endless things to say.
Lu Wujiu looked at Su Jiaoniang in the crowd. She patiently spoke to each child, not ignoring anyone.
She kept smiling and showed no impatience to anyone.
Finally, the lights went out, and it was time to rest.
