After the Kitchen God sacrifice, every household began to be busy for the New Year, cleaning up the house, washing the bed sheets and quilt covers, and buying New Year’s goods.

The Xu family was also preparing to make some tofu, so they asked Xuzhou to grind the beans. The beans can be ground with a stone mill in the village, or they can spend a few cents to sell tofu. The family made tofu all year round, so they gritted their teeth and bought a bean grinder.

On weekdays, few families know how to make tofu. During the Chinese New Year, there are more families making tofu. In order to earn some, their families take out the bean grinder and give them 50 cents to grind the beans. Some people don’t want to trouble them, so they come to their house. Of course, some people can’t bear the 50 cents, so they use stone mills.

Zhou Hongmei was willing to use a stone mill herself, but she had to be busy with a lot of things. She couldn't let her daughter-in-law take off the quilts of the whole family and wash them. Xu Zhou was naturally unhappy. With this time, it would be better to let him read a while longer.

Because of this idea, Zhou Hongmei gave Xu Zhou 50 cents and asked him to carry the soaked beans to Houcun.

Xu Zhou looked at the 50 cents handed over by his mother, and hesitated for a moment but accepted them.

He couldn't help but feel ashamed when he first came back.

His father was so worried that he was willing to lend him five hundred yuan, otherwise he wouldn't know how to finish it.

"Let's go, let's go together!" Xu Zhou kidnapped Lin Baoxiu before leaving.

"Hey hey... I still have to wash clothes!" Lin Baoxiu, who was pulled away, said in a hurry while being pulled away by him.

"Wash again when you come back!" Xu Zhou held the bucket in one hand and held the young wife's hand with the other hand without letting go, and said without looking back, "Look soon, I'll wash with you when I come back!"

"Where are men who do laundry?" Lin Baoxiu said that, and then let him go. It's just about washing clothes, so let's forget it.

"Who said men can't wash clothes?" Xu Zhou said, "When women can work and earn money with men, they can't do housework with women?"

Lin Baoxiu: "...but women do not earn as much money as men!" No matter how capable women are, they do not do more work as men do.

"Your idea is wrong!" Xu Zhou took the opportunity to educate her, "Look, how much money did you earn for your family by making clothes and making four-piece sets? In total, it is more than the money you sold for the food you planted for a year!"

Is this being praised?

Lin Baoxiu couldn't help but blush when she heard Xu Zhou's words, and then she thought, was he too exaggerated? She... she wasn't that powerful either!

Xu Zhou didn’t know where the little girl was thinking and continued her education.

"Our Grandpa Mao said that women can hold half of the sky! There is nothing that women should do but men cannot do!"

Xu Zhou said seriously, but after he finished speaking, he felt that what he said was not rigorous enough. For example, having children is something that women can do but men cannot do! However, Xu Zhou did not intend to correct this kind of argument!

"That's OK!" Lin Baoxiu saw that he was experiencing himself with great care, so she stopped arguing. She thought that no matter what she did, it would be much more interesting with him.

"Huh?" What's that right? Xu Zhou tilted his head and looked at the little girl he was holding. He saw that she was fair-skinned and beautiful, with a bright smile, just like a little sun, dazzling.

The beauty is now, and he suddenly forgot about the topic he discussed before.

Lin Baoxiu looked up, starry eyes curled, and said in a crisp voice: "Do you wash your clothes, after you come back, let's wash them together!"

Xu Zhou: “…”

The two of them said as they walked and arrived at the back village soon. Before they came, they didn't expect Lin Baozhu to be the number one person. Therefore, they didn't remember until they passed by the Lin family.

"Are the two of them here to grind soybeans?" Zhao Jinhua was washing clothes in front of the door. When she saw Xu Zhou and Lin Baoxiu, she was as warm and cheerful as if she saw any villagers passing by her door.

"Yes, my aunt is washing clothes!" Before Lin Baoxiu could react, Xu Zhou replied politely, "Sister-in-law, you are busy, we are busy too!"

After saying that, he led Lin Baoxiu and continued to walk forward.

Walking out of the territory of Lin Guozhong's family, Lin Baoxiu subconsciously looked back, but found that the place where he had lived for more than ten years had already changed.

The vegetable field was square and there were chicken and duck circles in the yard. Next to the vegetable field was a half-built pigpen. When Lin Baoxiu retracted her gaze, she was still thinking that this might be the new life Lin Guozhong wanted!

When Lin Baozhu got up and came back from the spittoon, she saw Xu Zhou walking to her house.

Lin Baozhu glanced at the spittoon in her hand, then looked at her messy hair, and screamed to her throat. However, when she saw Lin Baoxiu beside Xu Zhou, she pushed the scream back.

After glanced at the hands of the two holding, Lin Baozhu rolled her eyes wide, turned around, and entered the yard calmly.

Then, he threw it into the spittoon that had not had time to clean it. He jumped hard for a few times before he vented his anger.

"What's crazy early in the morning?" Li Lianhua came out of the kitchen and frowned and said, "Closing it out quickly and going to the market with her mom later!" Lin Baozhu: "...I don't have anything to buy, so I won't go!"

"There is nothing to buy? There is no order at home. Do you still want to spend the New Year with a clear soup and water?" Li Lianhua said dissatisfiedly with a frown.

"I have no objection! You can live anyway!" Lin Baozhu said indifferently. When will it be her business to buy New Year's goods?

Thinking of this, Lin Baozhu couldn't help rolling her eyes. She just saw that she had some money in her hands, so she always thought about how to deduct money from her! She had to dig her out before she was willing to do so!

"Whatever you want? You are like this? You are a daughter like this? You have not gotten married yet, your heart has already run away. What's the use of me raising you so much?" Li Lianhua almost pointed at Lin Baozhu's nose and cursed.

The mother and daughter who had a very good relationship were actually because of the 100 yuan, and one was reluctant to take it out, and the other wanted it. This was an irreconcilable contradiction, but wouldn't the relationship between the mother and daughter become increasingly stiff?

"Mom, can Zhao Weidong send me this hundred yuan, and our family will not be able to do this year?" Lin Baozhu shouted unbearably, "Besides, I have bought meat for my family. What do you want me to do? Do you have to take out all the money for you?"

"You...you...what are you saying? It's like I'm greedy for your hundred dollars!" My thoughts were so straightforward. Even though I was as thick-skinned as Li Lianhua, I couldn't stand it and stuttered before saying such insincere words.

The noise here was clearly transmitted to the neighbor's house next door, which was made by a half-high loess courtyard wall.
