Chapter 33
During the Qingming Festival, there was a lot of rain. When they went home, there was light rain, and several of them were wearing raincoats. Fortunately, there were more people, and they could talk while walking.

"Your business has been good recently. The village chief is busy at home every day. He is either making fortune sticks or grinding tofu. The people in the village are very envious. If it weren't for the vegetable harvester, they would probably be a little jealous too."

Uncle Zhang was chatting with them about the situation in the village, while Taozi was talking to his brother about some interesting things they encountered at the stall during this period.

"Yeah, look at the village chief who gives us a gift every two days, and every time he comes he takes cash back, so he can't take in the money every day." Those bamboos are shared by the village and don't belong to anyone, so they don't count. It is cost-effective. The village chief only needs to cut down the bamboos and cut them at home. He can also get hundreds of bamboos from one bamboo, which is naturally profitable.

In the village, there are still people plowing the fields. Taking advantage of the rain, they plowed the fields so that they can plant seedlings after the Qingming Festival.

"Xichun, you are back. Are you here to celebrate the Qingming Festival?" The villagers saw them pulling a cart of things and stopped to say hello.

"Yeah, come back and have a look."

Since Xichun came to the city to do business, everyone has been envious. This girl is really promising. The vegetables in the village are collected every few days. The village chief always brings a full cart. If they It would be great if I could have this business, but it's a pity that whoever dares to try like Wang Fuzi's family will lose their pants.

Chen Cuihua and his wife were also working in the fields. Looking at Xichun and his group who were carrying their things home, she pretended not to notice and muttered in a low voice.

Originally, she heard that Xichun had gone to the city, and she thought she would be able to do business, but she didn't know that the Liu family had taken over again, and her stall couldn't be returned. She had no choice but to drag it back angrily.

Behind her back, she gossiped with the villagers, saying that the Liu family had a habit of fawning over Xichun, just like the Zhang family. Otherwise, how could they have this business?Aunt Liu heard about this, and she didn't tolerate her. She yelled at her directly in front of the house. Although she didn't name her by name, everyone knew that she was scolding Chen Cuihua.

Xichun opened the door with the key. Aunt Liu cleaned the yard for Xichun from time to time. It looked clean, and the backyard was full of vegetables, giving it a lively look.

It was almost dark when they came back. Aunt Liu heard that they had gone home and invited the two families to have dinner at home.

Their business during this period is also good. Spring plowing requires a lot of effort, so they are willing to buy things. The business is still good, so they invited them over today and bought a lot of meat.

After the guests and hosts had a good time, Xichun also returned home. Aunt Zhang originally wanted to accompany Xichun at Zhang's house, but Xichun refused. Now her yard is different from before. There are thorns all around. Lesson learned, no one dares to do it again.

After a dreamless night, Xichun cooked some vegetables and went to the mountains with incense, candles and firecrackers. Families of the same clan in the village gathered together to visit the grave, and Xichun was the only one.

At this time, the mountain is also lively. Adults and children of the family come to pay homage to their elders. The scene is solemn but also lively. This is also one of the busiest times in front of the tomb.

There were no traces of burning incense candles in front of Xichun's father's grave, but her grandfather's grave nearby showed that someone had come to pay homage. It seemed that the Chen family didn't even recognize her father.

Girls and women in many families are not allowed to visit graves, but not all families are the same. When celebrating spring, they light incense, burn paper money, and place offerings before starting to set off firecrackers.

"Dad, rest in peace over there, and let your grave be cleaned in the future so that it won't be forgotten." Xichun thought about this silently in his heart. He waited until all the incense and candles were burned to ensure that it would not cause a mountain fire before carrying it. The offerings went down the mountain.

The old Chen family met Xichun halfway up the mountain, but they all pretended not to see it and walked straight past without giving Xichun any good looks. Xichun did the same, ignoring everyone and carrying his things and went down the mountain.At dusk, Xichun, who had finished his meal, arrived at Ma's house with a piece of meat and a box of snacks. Ma's family had just had dinner with members of the clan and happened to be returning home at this time. Seeing Xichun coming over, Wang's face was filled with laughter. His smile became much more obvious.

"Xichun, you are back. Have you visited your father?"

"I've already seen it. This is for you to recuperate. I'm going to the county town tomorrow, so I'll get it tonight." Xichun gave her the things and was about to leave.

"Xichun, don't leave yet, wait for me." Wang held her hand and asked her to wait here.

Ma Xiaobao and Mrs. Ma both entered the house. They knew that Xichun was not here to see them, so naturally they would not ask for trouble.

"Xichun, come in and sit down. Your grandma Ma hurt you before, and it's useless to blame me. Today I'm here to apologize to you on behalf of my mother." Seeing that Xichun never stepped into the door, Ma Dawei also knew that my mother and he had She was heartbroken.

"It's okay. What happened before has passed. I won't care about it anymore. But I have something to do later, so I won't go in." Xi Chun didn't expect that he would come to apologize to her. To be honest, this old lady Ma and her family really went too far. , Xichun naturally doesn't like her either.

But seeing how she helped him several times later, Xichun's anger has dissipated, but she really doesn't have a good impression of those two people, even if she doesn't scold herself anymore.

Xichun thought that maybe she would have to wait until her mother gave birth before she would be willing to visit Ma's house.

Both of them stood there awkwardly, but fortunately Wang came out quickly, holding a small bundle in her hand. Xichun saw that there was a set of clothes inside.

"I made this during this period. I thought you were growing taller, so I made it bigger and can wear it for a few more years. Xichun, you can take it back and wear it. Mom has no future, so I can only give it to you. You made some clothes."

Mrs. Wang thought that Xi Chun had gone out to do business several times, but she had not brought her anything, so last time she consulted with Ma Dawei, took the money, pulled cloth in the town, and made clothes for Ma Xiaobao and Xi Chun respectively.

"Thank you, mother. I'll keep it then. I'll come back to see you when I have time. If I give birth, please ask Uncle Ma to tell me." Xichun took the clothes and went home.

Xichun returned home with the clothes, and Aunt Zhang looked at the things in her hands with some curiosity.

"This is the dress your mother made for you. The stitching looks good." Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

"Yeah, I didn't expect my mother to make clothes for me." Xichun was still a little surprised at this moment.

"How can a mother not love her children? She was originally a refugee. She was bullied by Mrs. Chen at first and had no blood. Later, your father died, and your mother was just like the rest of us. How can She can dare to start a business like you, so finding someone to marry and raise you is the biggest thing she can do. Hey, don't blame her, her life is easy these days."

Aunt Zhang persuaded Xi Chun that Xi Chun's only relatives in the world now are the Wangs. With her mother here, there is still hope. If her mother is gone, she will be helpless in this life.
