Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Xiaoduo knew very well what kind of person her father-in-law was.

So when they heard Jiaojiao's childish retelling of Shengnan's father's words, Sun and Xiaohua next to them were still a little confused, but Xiaoduo instantly understood what the old man was complaining about.

It was because I, Shengnan, and my uncle all agreed to open up the grassland and provide a shelter for the disaster-stricken villagers in Changping Village, Lijia Village, Zhengjia Village, Yujia Village, and Hejia Village.

These two days, because people are staying in the grassland, Xiaoduo and Xiang Shengnan, as the hosts, certainly cannot take care of the meals, but they can boil a few more pots of hot water every day and send them to the villagers affected by the disaster.

Children, sick elderly people, and weak women, drinking cold water in this cold first month of the year is harmful to the body, so they need to drink hot water.

As a result, my father-in-law saw this and started to feel sorry for the firewood.

In fact, boiling a few more pots of hot water a day does not consume much firewood at all. There is no other firewood on the grassland, and the most common firewood is cow dung.

The cow dung produced by dozens or even hundreds of cows every day is dried, mixed with some dry grass roots, and then collected one by one after drying. They are then placed in a dry firewood room for storage, so that there is always enough firewood to burn all year round.

Boiling a few pots of hot water, what’s that?

This really doesn't mean anything. This old man has a very narrow mind. No wonder he has no friends in the surrounding villages after living for most of his life.

"Jiaojiao, don't listen to your grandfather's nonsense. Go drink your egg drop soup." Xiaoduo sent Jiaojiao away, turned around, and the smile on her face disappeared.

"He's a grown man, why is he meddling in other people's business? We don't want him to take care of these things, so why is he meddling so much?"

Hearing Xiaoduo's mumbling, Sun and Xiaohua looked at each other secretly, and the mother and daughter then realized what Shengnan's father meant.

Sun said to Xiaoduo with a wry smile, "You can't blame your father-in-law entirely. Indeed, there were too many people affected by the disaster. They all swarmed into the pasture, and it was indeed noisy."

"If nothing else, with so many people making fires and cooking over there every day, and adults shouting and children yelling, it's really noisy."

"In addition, people have three urgent needs. Some people follow the rules and go to the mountains outside the pasture to solve the problem. But some people are lazy, or they don't have time to go outside at night, so they may just find a corner in the pasture to solve the problem, which really makes the pasture dirty, ah!"

When it comes to this issue, the women are speechless.

Although there are village heads and elders in every village who organize people to maintain order and emphasize these things, there are always some places that cannot be controlled. After all, even these villagers who maintain order need to rest.

So the grassland was indeed somewhat ruined, but the Xiang family would not open their own toilets for those villagers.

There are too many people and it will be packed up at once, so the Xiang family's toilet is usually locked and only used by the Xiang family and people from the third room of the Yang family. Even people from other rooms of the Yang family cannot use it.

"The rain has stopped and the water is receding. I believe we will be able to return to the village soon. Everyone will be fine when we return." Xiaohua looked outside the house. Not only had the rain stopped, but the sun had also come out. There was hope for everything.

Xiaoduo said: "No matter what, even if the grassland is ruined and dirty, there is nothing we can do. We, the Xiang family, can't just watch our fellow villagers die in the flood. Giving them a place to live is also accumulating merit for ourselves."

Xiaoduo's words made Sun's eyes red.

She was touched and nodded to Xiaoduo repeatedly: "My dear girl, it is right for you to think this way. Suffering a loss is a blessing, and helping others is also a virtue.

"If the good deeds you have accumulated are not rewarded to you, they will be rewarded to your children in the future, and even several generations will be taken care of. There are gods above our heads, and they are watching over everything we do!"

Xiaoduo turned her head and looked at her little girl Rourou, her eyes full of admiration. Rourou was already a head and a half taller than other children of the same age.

  Standing next to her sister Jiaojiao, Rourou is already the same height as Jiaojiao, but Jiaojiao is almost four years older than Rourou!

Moreover, Rourou's appetite is two or three times that of Jiaojiao. Even if Jiaojiao and Lingling are put together, they cannot eat as much as Rourou in one meal.

In terms of strength, Jiaojiao is not as good as Rourou.

But Xiaoduo clearly remembered that she had a miscarriage and gave birth to her second daughter prematurely, and both mother and daughter suffered physical damage after the birth.

"Mom, every time I see my daughter Rourou, I become more motivated to do these good deeds."

"Mom, Xiaohua, do you think I'm right?

At that time, Rourou was born in poor health and was sent to a hospital for recuperation. She was brought back three months later.

During those three months, Xiaoduo thought about a lot of things, and what she worried about most was that she might not be able to raise her second daughter.

Even if you bring her home, she might be a child even more fragile and sickly than the first baby.

The result is Rourou like this.

  It’s really not difficult to raise it. Isn’t this God’s mercy?

However, the smiles on Sun and Xiaohua's faces changed after they heard Xiaoduo use Rourou as an analogy.

The two of them avoided each other's gazes slightly, and neither dared to look Xiaoduo in the eye, let alone agree with Xiaoduo's ideas.

This surprised Xiaoduo a little.

Because she found that this situation happened among them more than once or twice. It seemed that every time, when the whole family gathered together to chat, when they talked about the children's growth and various interesting things along the way, everyone was very engaged and excited.

But when the topic shifted to Rourou, the atmosphere changed subtly.

Even if they agreed, Xiaoduo always felt that they were insincere, and even seemed to be deliberately avoiding something.

"Mom, Xiaohua, I have something to ask you two."

"What's the matter? You sound so serious. Just ask." Xiaohua smiled and said.

"Is Rourou still the biological daughter of Shengnan and me?"

"Ah?" Xiaohua was stunned.

The fire stick in Sun's hand fell directly to the ground.

Xiaohua quickly bent down to help Sun pick up the fire stick. When she put it in her hand, Xiaohua secretly pinched Sun.

  This is a reminder to Sun, telling her not to lose her composure and not to let Xiaoduo see through the clues and reveal the truth. If that happens, it will be really troublesome!

Sun was pinched by Xiaohua and the pain made her regain some composure.

"Duo'er, what nonsense are you talking about! As a mother, you are too crazy in front of Rourou. Be serious!" (End of this chapter)
