Fertile land

They went to Dongliju, a place that sells furniture, and let Miaomiao choose a small bed by herself.

This bed is made of peach wood with hand-carved patterns of magpies and plum blossoms. It is pure natural solid wood and has no chemical pollution. There is no need to worry about formaldehyde exceeding the standard...

After leaving Dongliju, Li Sanmao carefully put it on his shoulders and went to the mule cart. The mother and father went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables first.

Li Sanmao put down the bed, put the basket on his back, and went to the vegetable market to meet Luo Zhi'er and his daughter...

They first bought some beef for Bill, then pork, beef, vegetables, rice, flour, grains and oils, bread-making materials, etc. This time it was a huge purchase.

The three of them happened to pass by a food street at this time and walked in...

The pedestrian street here sells some special snacks and stalls set up on the street!
  Because of the firewood burning, there is a bit of smoke and a fairy-like feeling.

They sell porridge, pancakes, dumplings, wontons, noodles, fried rice, etc...

Before setting off on the road home, we unanimously decided to have something to eat first and not make dinner when we got back in the evening.

The country people who come to the town for the market will come here to eat. They have a big meal at noon and just eat something in the afternoon!
  Li Sanmao walked through the crowd carrying a tall basket on his back. Luo Zhi'er held Miaomiao tightly, and the three of them walked through the crowd and walked inside.

Before the market ends, this is the busiest place, with noisy people!

When we arrived at Qinghua Dumplings, everyone ordered a portion of pork and cabbage dumplings, and then went to a nearby stall to buy three pancakes, meat buns and drinks, then sat down and started eating...

"No, grandma, I still want to eat dumplings..."

On the street not far away, a little country boy with a tiger-like head and a tough brain was rolling on the ground, pretending to eat delicious food.

Attract the attention of pedestrians.

"Zhuangzhuang, stand up! You bought shoes and clothes today. Just after dinner, you bought sugar cakes, candied haws, meat buns, and dumplings. Come back next time!"

Luo Xihai said sternly.

"Grandma, I don't!"

"Old man, it's just a bowl of dumplings. If Zhuang Zhuang wants to eat, just buy it for him."

The woman saw Zhuang Zhuang hugging her thigh and said with distressed eyes.

"Did you buy anything for the eldest and second ya at home?"

What should I say this time?
  "Hey! You old thing, don't you tell them how to know? Sooner or later, Yatou Pianzi will be from someone else's family... Can it be the same for Zhuangzhuang?"

The second aunt, Qian Shi, winked at Luo Xihai and said, she bought two inferior bouquets for the two girls, one for each of them.
  Luo Xihai acquiesced and remained silent.

At this moment, Qian immediately saw the three people sitting at the dumpling stall, especially the fat and inhuman-looking Luo Zhi'er.

Why is there such a handsome man next to me? I rubbed my eyes and couldn't believe it. This is Li Sanmao? When was he released?
  The three of them were dressed cleanly, and their clothes all looked new, especially Li Sanmao, who used to be slovenly like a bear, but this time he looked completely reborn, like a small boss?

Next to him stood a large, fully loaded backpack...

Luo Zhi'er was eating when suddenly someone stood in front of them.

He shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Zhuangzhuang, look, aren't these your aunt and uncle? Ask your aunt to buy you a bowl of dumplings to eat!"

Luo Zhi'er looked up and said, "Second aunt?"

The second uncle of the Luo family was standing not far away. In front of him was the second aunt and the second son, Zhuangzhuang, who was called Aunt Luo Zhi'er according to his seniority.

"……aunt!"

Zhuang Zhuang had no impression of this aunt. The eldest brother Luo Leicheng and the second son Luo Chaocheng had not invited Luo Zhi'er to their weddings. They also had a daughter named Luo Xiaolian who had just gotten married.

The eldest gave birth to two granddaughters for her, and the second one now has a baby like this. She has to tie it around her waist for fear of losing it, and hold it in her mouth for fear of melting...

Zhuangzhuang gave birth to a child and held a big banquet in the village. Naturally, Zhuangzhuang did not invite Luo Zhi'er to the full moon banquet.

First, she was afraid that she would go back to grab the land. Originally, the second aunt wanted to receive a few gifts, but when she heard that she was not as good as a dog in Lao Li's house, it was better not to invite her.

You even think you can put the relationship aside, so why bother yourself?

If this is divorced by Mr. Li’s family, it will still be a huge burden when he comes back!
  Luo Zhi'er saw the little kid in front of him, who looked like a tiger-headed boy, about four or five years old, holding a candied haws in one hand and eating a meat bun in the other. It took him a while to remember who he was.

Zhuang Zhuang took a bite of the meat bun and looked a little impatiently at the strange woman in front of him.

Then he saw the little girl Miao Miao looking at him, and immediately hid the food behind his back, "Huh! This is mine, I won't give it to you to eat!"

He was only interested in food on the street. His grandma said that this aunt could give him delicious dumplings, so he shouted.

"Haha, it's Zhuangzhuang. Are you coming to the market with your grandparents?"

"Yes, fat guy, I want to eat dumplings. I told you that you are my aunt and you must buy them for me!" The boy ordered her unceremoniously.

Luo Zhi'er thought it was okay to buy him a bowl of dumplings, but his attitude and tone made her unhappy!
  This is the reason for the adults in the family!
  Luo Zhi'er knelt down and said seriously, "Zhuang Zhuang, if you want to eat dumplings, my aunt can buy them for you, but my aunt doesn't like you talking with this attitude!"

Zhuang Zhuang was thinking about whether he should change his attitude...

But the second aunt couldn't bear it any longer. She started scolding her, her voice sounding like silver needles piercing her, which was unbearable.

"Luo Zhi'er, you have little hooves and stiff arms. Is it easy for your father and your second uncle to pick you up from the grass locust ditch and raise you from a swaddling baby?"

"You are now prosperous. Even though your father is dead, your second uncle's family is still here!" "We were still worried that you were not doing well, but we didn't expect you to be a popular and popular person here, so we asked you to give it to your nephew. Aren’t you willing to buy a bowl of dumplings for me?”

"One more thing, do you, an outsider, want to make irresponsible remarks about my old Luo family's precious baby?"

Seeing everyone looking over here, they asked, "Did she pick it up?"

There was a lot of discussion.

Mr. Qian somersaulted and sat on the ground and started shouting,
  "White-eyed wolf, white-eyed wolf, look at it, you have bought so many things that you can't even fit them in the baskets on your back. Luo Zhi'er, you have been married for seven or eight years and you have never even seen us uncles and aunts back home. It’s so heartless!”

"Your father and we have really spent a lot of time raising such a white-eyed wolf like you!"

There was a bang, and it was Li Sanmao who slapped the table with his big palm, "Second aunt, I have never argued with you for Zhi'er's sake, but you are getting more and more excessive. If she doesn't go back, it's not you." Did you purposely cut off the relationship and drive her away?"

He remembered that when Luo Leicheng got married, she didn't even know about it. She heard about it from people in the village a week in advance.

I waited eagerly for a long time, but no one came to invite me. Later, despite the pressure from my family, I secretly ran to my parents' house to help, but was kicked back.

I cried for a long time.

The second child got married and was not invited. She was afraid of being kicked back, and despite the scolding from her parents, she secretly showed off the baby's shoes, socks, hats, etc. and gave them to her...

Then she was thrown into the river in public, and they mocked her by saying that the old Luo family did not have a daughter like her. It seemed that old Luo Tou also left money for gifts. They took the money, but they declared to the outside world that they should not use things like shoes and socks. , if you want to be sincere, take money...

"You picked her up and raised her? How do I know that my father-in-law brought her home alone? She couldn't even step across the threshold of your house since she was a child?"

"Now I see her buying something and I'm jealous. How much are the dumplings worth? Did Zhi'er just say not to buy them for him?"

"If you continue to bully her and curse her for no reason, you can't do that with me as your husband!"

The man's calm tone exuded a terrifying atmosphere!

"Li, Li Sanmao, how dare you..."

"Second Aunt, if you dare, I dare..."

After finishing speaking, Li Sanmao crushed the drinking cup...

The second aunt was furious. This Li Sanmao was a fool. She couldn't suppress him with principles. She had always been afraid of him, but she guessed that this Li Sanmao didn't like Luo Zhi'er very much!
  As a woman, she knows very well, who likes someone so ugly and so fat?

She was just the last caretaker of Old Luo Tou. He had been silent and silent until now. How could he vent his anger on her behalf now?

She couldn't understand why she trembled when she saw his wolf-like eyes!

It must be because he usually hunts and has a bloodthirsty feeling when dealing with wild animals.

Seeing the people next to her pointing and sarcastically puckering their lips, she sat on the ground and shouted loudly,
  "It's incredible, this nephew and niece actually threatened to beat up my uncle and aunt!"

The diners saw her howling and wanting to hit someone, and some of them left the stall.

The proprietress came over quickly: "Auntie, do you want to eat dumplings or not? If you don't want to eat, please leave our place so as not to disturb everyone's eating!"

Qian's face was embarrassed.

A dinner guest took his baby and was about to leave. The little boy suddenly added,
  "That aunt just now didn't say she wouldn't feed your child, she just said she felt a little unhappy when he called her fat!"

And to Zhuang Zhuangdao, who looked like he thought he had succeeded,
  "Children can't be rude to their elders. Didn't your grandma teach you that?"

"Xiao Gang, shut up! Eat your food!"

Damn it, stop it immediately!

At this time, Uncle Erhu Luo Xihai came over and looked at Luo Zhi'er coldly: "Luo Zhi'er! Haha! You are so good. We, the old Luo family, don't have unfaithful, unfilial and unjust descendants like you! Damn, stand up, let's Walk!"

"No! Old man, look at the baskets they carry."

"It's not too embarrassing and conspicuous!"

The second aunt stood up reluctantly, grabbed Zhuang Zhuang and left.

This stubborn old man can't see clearly that he did it on purpose?

Depressed, she hasn’t got anything in her basket yet, and Zhuangzhuang hasn’t eaten the dumplings either...

After finishing the meal, I paid the stall owner the money for the cup, and then started on my way home as the sun set.

In order not to make his wife sad, Li Sanmao didn't even mention it.

Luo Zhi'er hugged Miaomiao and teased her!
  As soon as they left the city gate, they met Li and his mother and son Li Daniu...

Li Daniu used a backpack to carry Li to the village.

Li Daniu was panting from exhaustion. He had traveled more than ten miles in the morning. When he arrived at the town's medical clinic, he was in line to receive the medicine. He still hadn't had a bite to eat and had to walk more than ten miles.

Why didn't they take the bullock cart? Then Zhao Maogen stopped taking them, saying that the villagers were afraid of contracting the disease she had!
  Li Daniu's current headache is that he still has to spend money for medical treatment. His mother said that she has no money left!
  Originally, the doctor asked me to stay in the hospital and receive treatment for several months. Because I had no money, I had to carry it to the hospital and back in the past few days.

Mrs. Li saw Luo Zhi'er's family driving a mule cart passing by, and a trace of hatred suddenly flashed in Miao Miao's eyes as she giggled.
