Cui Hejin had always had a very good impression of Jiang Zhiluo's parents. He lowered his voice and said, "Mom, it's nothing. You also said that we are all a family. Zhiluo and I should be filial to you."

Looking at Cui Hejin, Mrs. Ye felt that this son-in-law was really a noble and elegant man. If he had not been convicted, he would not have...

But she also knew that although this child looked cold, he actually had a very good heart.

She doesn't have to worry about Zhiluo being wronged or anything like that.

After exchanging a few pleasantries in the yard, Mrs. Ye quickly asked them to come inside to drink water.

"By the way, mom, where are dad and the others?"

"Your father went to fetch water from the well at the entrance of the village, and your second and fourth brothers went to the river to catch a fish so that they can have a tooth ceremony at noon."

"Your third sister also went to the mountains to pick some fungus mushrooms early in the morning. The fresh ones were just picked."

"They are not used to it when you are not at home, and they still talk about you while eating. When they know that you and He Jin came home today, they woke up before dawn and wanted to do something."

There was nothing good at home, so they thought of making something with their own hands to welcome their eldest sister and brother-in-law.

When Jiang Zhiluo heard this, her heart felt warm.

Her second brother is Jiang Yunshu, who is fourteen years old this year, and her third sister, Jiang Yunhua, is thirteen years old.

The fourth brother, Jiang Yunzheng, is ten years old this year, and the fifth sister, Jiang Yunmian, is eight years old.

The sixth brother, Jiang Yunxuan, is five years old this year.

While they were talking, they entered the house.

Jiang Zhiluo saw a large basin at the mouth of the stove. There was a chicken in the basin. The water in it was still boiling. There was a small bowl of chicken blood next to it. It seemed that the chicken had just been killed.

Jiang Yunmian followed her eldest sister's eyes and explained, "Sister, my mother made arrangements two days ago. She said she would kill a chicken today. When you and your brother-in-law come back, we can stew the chicken for lunch."

Jiang Zhiluo knew that the four chickens raised at home were all used to lay eggs.

Killing a chicken like this made Jiang Zhiluo feel a little distressed.

"Mom, this chicken is still going to lay eggs, why did you kill it?"

You must know that this chicken means one egg a day, and the eggs can be sold for fifteen cents a month.

The price of eggs is almost two eggs for one penny.

For rural people, fifteen cents is a lot of money, and they can buy three kilograms of brown rice.

Ye said: "This chicken doesn't lay many eggs anymore. If you keep it, it will only eat food in vain. It's better to kill it."

"Don't worry. The weather is getting warmer. I'll hatch a clutch of eggs. After a few months, they'll be ready to lay eggs again. Don't worry about that."

Mrs. Ye said this because she didn't want her daughter to blame herself.

She is very economical on weekdays, but she is willing to give anything to her daughter and son-in-law.

When my daughter-in-law and son-in-law come home, I have to treat them with something good.

There is nothing to be reluctant to part with.

Jiang Zhiluo felt a little uncomfortable.

If her family's conditions were good, she would just eat a chicken. But if her family still pointed out that this chicken would lay eggs and sell them for money, and ate this chicken, she would feel guilty.

It seems that we still need to find ways to improve the conditions at home.

After Ye Yunmian helped his mother pour water for his sister and brother-in-law, he quickly sat down and plucked the chicken feathers.

She moves quickly and deftly.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Fifth sister, let me do it."

Jiang Yunmian seemed to be frightened, "Sister, don't work, don't tire yourself out, just rest with your brother-in-law, I will do this."

From a young age, Jiang Yunmian has been instilled with a deep-rooted idea that the eldest sister is the treasure of the family.

The eldest sister suffered hardships when she was exiled. As younger brothers and sisters, they should love her and not let her get tired and bump into her.

If the eldest sister died because of something like this, they would have no place to cry.

So even though Jiang Yunmian is only eight years old, he is as good at working at home as a young adult.

And she also has a bit of a strong temper.

She looks a bit like her father, with a hint of heroism in her eyebrows.

Forehead……

Jiang Zhiluo was speechless.

After all, at home, her younger brothers and sisters were all scrambling to do the work, so she would do some easy work with scraps.

It can be said to be very relaxing.

Jiang Zhiluo took out a piece of candy from her pocket and handed it to Jiang Yunmian: "This is candy for you."

When Jiang Yunmian saw the candy, he was surprised, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, showing that he was happy.

On weekdays in the village, there is not much good food to eat, and candy is the most delicious thing they can see.

It has a sweet taste and feels sweet in your heart when you eat it.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yunmian did not refuse his eldest sister's kindness and said: "Sister, thank you."

"Tell your sister how to thank her. I will bring you some good things when she gets them."

Jiang Zhiluo felt a little sorry for her younger brothers and sisters.

At such a young age, he is still in school in the age of technology, so he is the treasure of the family.

But here, they are treated like adults. They are sensible and should work.

Of course, everyone in the village is like this.

Very few families can afford to send their children to school.

In fact, the cost of repairing pens, ink, paper and inkstones is not a small expense.

Any family without a few dozen taels of silver a year would not even think about sending their children to school.

Jiang Yunmian listened to her sister's words and thought that her sister was too simple. She looked sad and couldn't help but persuade her: "Sister, if you have good things, it's better to leave them to you and your brother-in-law."

"You are married, and my brothers and sisters and I can't do anything to help you. If you take care of yourself, we won't have to worry about you."

Jiang Zhiluo opened her mouth in surprise, but was speechless.

Also, the predecessor always seemed not very smart, which really made his younger brothers and sisters worry about him.

But her heart felt warm.

It's great to have younger siblings who love you so much.

Jiang Zhiluo hugged Xuanxuan and talked to her mother: "Mom, I see there are some willow trees by the river, and willow buds are growing. Those willow buds can be picked back to make dumplings and steamed buns to eat."

Originally, Jiang Zhiluo also wanted to go to the river to pick some willow buds, but she was very busy these two days and didn't have time to pick them.

Mrs. Ye couldn't believe it and said, "Daughter, willow buds can actually be eaten?"

After so many years in the village, she had never heard of this statement.

However, when I followed the fleeing team here, there was nothing to eat on the road, so it was normal to eat bark and grass roots to pad my stomach.

Most of the people in their village were people who fled the famine at that time and came to settle down.

After what happened at that time, now no one wants to eat anything related to tree bark.

They all eat grain, and no one wants to eat wild vegetables.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mom, the willow buds are fresh and really edible."

Listening to her daughter's confident tone, Mrs. Ye was stunned for a moment. Then when she looked at her daughter's eyes, she felt they were clear, clean and full of wisdom.

Ye's heart was shocked. Is my daughter okay?

Ye's face looked a little uncomfortable, and he asked tentatively: "Daughter, you...have you thought about what happened when you were a child?"
