Chapter 4

In the afternoon, ye Xiaoxian can finally get out of bed.

As soon as she came out, Xiao Wang, who was working in the yard, stared at her legs. All the peasant women in the village said that women who had men walked differently, so these peasant women liked to study this when they had nothing to do.

The original Ye Xiaoxian was just a 15-year-old girl. She had been treated by a fierce man like Xiao Baoshan. Xiao Wang and Xiao Chen in Sanfang felt that she had to lie in bed for at least three days.

Ye Xiaoxian didn't give Xiao Wang a chance to stare at herself. She soon walked to Li Hongmei and sat down.

Li Hongmei is peeling beans to cook bone soup at night.

"Ye, did you get out of bed so soon? Does it hurt? Are you hungry? If you're hungry, I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything to eat," Li Hongmei asked carelessly.

"It's all right. Let me peel the beans for you..." Ye Xiaoxian said.

The big room and the three rooms must have a problem with her lying like this. Besides, the original owner used to work hard, so she can't be idle.

"OK." Li Hongmei gave Ye Xiaoxian half a basket of beans and whispered, "peel the beans today. It doesn't take much energy to peel the beans."

"..." Ye Xiaoxian didn't answer Li Hongmei's words, but looked around the courtyard.

In the east of the yard is an old man Xiao, who has been rebuilt. He uses green bricks and black tiles, and the beam is high. He lives in it, warm in winter and cool in summer.

A row of houses in the middle of the yard are big houses and three rooms. Although they are not built in such style, at least the bricks and tiles are complete.

In the west, there lived a two bedroom family, a row of low earth houses, and the walls were cracked, just like the pigsty Ye Xiaoxian had seen on TV.

Ye Xiaoxian watched for a while. At this time, two young children's voices came from outside the gate: "Niang, sister-in-law, we're back!"

A girl and a boy came in outside.

The two children were born to Li Hongmei. The girl is twelve or thirteen years old and her name is Xiao Baozhu. The boy is more than eight years old and her name is Xiao Baofeng. One of them carries pig grass and the other carries dry firewood.

These two children are sincere and won't be lazy, otherwise they won't recite so much.

Seeing this, Li Hongmei hurried to help them put down the dry firewood and pig grass.

"Are you hungry? My mother will get you something to eat?" Li Hongmei said.

As soon as Li Hongmei's voice fell, the Xiao Wang in the middle immediately scolded: "isn't dinner going to be prepared soon? What can I do for them? There are some sweet potatoes on the stove. Let them eat that."

Li Hongmei was not happy: "Baozhu and Baofeng have worked all day and won't even let them eat a meal?"

"I didn't say no. You'll get them a meal now and have another dinner later. Isn't it a waste to eat two meals in such a short time?"

"You..." Li Hongmei wanted to quarrel again. At this time, Baozhu quickly advised Li Hongmei: "Mom, let's eat sweet potatoes first and then eat in the evening."

Baofeng also said, "yes, mom, we're not hungry."

"But my mother loves you." Li Hongmei is really distressed.

It happened at this time that Xiao Baocheng, the youngest son of Xiao Wang, also came back. Xiao Baocheng was in his teens and went to school in a private school in the town. As soon as he came back, he shouted, "Mom, I'm hungry!"

"Oh, there's still some leftovers and some meat skin in the kitchen. I'll get it for you!" Xiao Wang immediately laughed.

Li Hongmei was annoyed when she heard this: "sister-in-law, Baozhu and Baofeng come back from work. You let them eat sweet potatoes. Why can your family treasure eat meat as soon as they come back?"

Wang Xiao said sarcastically, "why? We pay two liang of silver a month. How about you? If you have the ability, you also pay more money. Half a liang of silver a month is not enough. You still want to eat a lot. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"..." Li Hongmei ate flat in an instant.

Xiao Wang is right. They have the least money in their second room. This has always been Li Hongmei's pain. Every time she thinks of this, she can't help feeling inferior.

Who calls himself poor.

"Forget it, don't eat if you don't eat. Let's eat sweet potatoes first and eat at night." Li Hongmei comforted her two children.

Li Hongmei was about to go into the kitchen to get sweet potatoes, but she didn't want to look at the courtyard door. She immediately shouted happily, "ah, Baoshan is back!"

Ye Xiaoxian thought a little and looked out of the gate.
