Dress up as a hot farm wife, take care of her cubs and raise her husband to farm

The original Xiasanlan Alley in the north of the city has now been converted into Jishan Hall.

Children without fathers and mothers live at the head of the alley, and old people without children live at the end of the alley.

Cheng Xue specifically proposed that children and the elderly should not be together, in order to reduce the frequency of illness among children and the elderly.

Eat two meals a day. The standard for each meal is four dishes and one soup, according to the time of day.The clothes and shoes are all complete, and there is also a set of quilts and mattresses for each person.It can be said that these children and elderly people are enjoying blessings when they enter Jishan Hall.

The elderly who are able to move freely will go to the backyard to cultivate vegetable plots to save Jishan Hall some expenses.Girls aged six or seven will help Sister-in-law Yuan wash clothes and clean the house to reduce their burden.

Although there is no great wealth here, the best thing is that life is stable.

In the past, serious people would rather take a detour than pass through this alley.It’s different now, everyone has no worries and can go wherever they want.If I have nothing to do when I pass by Jishan Hall, I will go in to have a look and take a look around.

Cheng Xi drove his car and stopped at the entrance of Jishan Hall.Bai Wei reached out and hugged Li Tian and Li Huai down, and then helped Cheng Xue down.

The door of Jishan Hall has been kept ajar, but it opens with a slight push.

As the sound of "squeak...ah..." sounded, the little girl washing clothes in the yard looked up, and then her eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Sister Tiantian, Master Huai. Mrs. Yuan Niang is here."

Yuan Tao's wife hurried out after hearing the sound, hurriedly walked up to him, and bowed sideways.

"Greetings to Madam, Second Young Lady, and Young Master, why are you here now? Have you eaten?"

"You've eaten, no need to be busy." Cheng Xue shook her head with a smile, looked around the yard and said, "How are you doing lately? Are you lacking anything?"

Yuan Tao's wife hurriedly shook her head and said:
"No shortage, no shortage. Yesterday, Mrs. Xiao sent someone to deliver a lot of rice, flour, oil and meat, so we can eat for a while."

Her family was hit by a disaster in spring last year, and none of her five children were left.Now being able to come to Jishan Hall to take care of her children is a good thing for her and she cherishes it very much.

Cheng Xi and Bai Wei moved the things in. Cheng Xue pointed at the cotton and materials and said:
"The house has to entertain noble people recently, so we don't have time to make winter clothes for children and the elderly. During the day, you can take the girls to make them for everyone. It also allows the girls to practice their skills. They always have to learn cotton-padded clothes and trousers. .”

When Yuan Tao's wife heard this, she called out the children and saluted together.

"Thank you ma'am for taking such good care of you. I'm very grateful."

They would do this every time they gave something away, and Cheng Xue did not stop them from saluting. After all, nothing was given for free, and one must always be grateful.

After the children got up, they took things to where they should be put.

Needless to say, Yuan Tao's wife is still very good at raising children, and so far she has not found any thorns in her head.They must all be young. The older ones were taken away by the military camp. The younger ones will definitely be obedient.

As usual, Yuan Tao's daughter-in-law took her from house to house. When they met the daughter-in-law who worked here, they exchanged pleasantries with each other.

After being split and merged, the house has returned to its original appearance.Because there were many children, each room had two Kangs in the north and south, with a row of kangqins playing on the sides.The house can accommodate twelve children, but currently they are all ten, so they are not overcrowded.

There are two or three seven-year-old children in each room to facilitate the management of the little ones.Everyone was dressed very cleanly, with no runny noses and shiny sleeves.

"Madam, would you like to go to the end of the alley to have a look?"

"Anyone coughing?"

"No, the old man is in good health." "That won't pass." Cheng Xue shook her head and declined, "I came here mainly to take them with me. They want to play with the children."

Li Heng and his three brothers could still have some fun at home, but now that Li Heng was gone, Li Huai wanted to finish it off with his sister, but her sister claimed to be a big girl and wouldn't mess around with him.Looking at the "big girl" now, she is playing eagle to catch chicks with the children younger than her. She is the hen and Li Huai is the eagle.

The children's laughter was very touching. Yuan Tao's wife watched for a long time before she realized that she had neglected Cheng Xue. Seeing that she was also watching the children, she simply stayed with them obediently.

At the end of the Shenshi period, all those studying and studying arts came back, and dinner was served at Jishan Hall.

Children are like this, they will always be the favorite of others.Even though both siblings had already eaten, they could still eat another bowl with so many children accompanying them at the moment.

The dinner at Jishantang was very sumptuous. The staple food was sorghum rice, and the dishes were pork stewed with beans, eggplant stewed with potatoes, cold cucumber shreds, vegetarian stir-fried cabbage, and a spinach and egg soup.

Cheng Xue and Bai Wei, like other daughters-in-law, helped the children with meals, added vegetables, and took care of them at all times.

The daughter-in-law who comes to work here is paid one hundred cash per month, and she can take care of food and housing, or not.As long as the children are taken care of, everything else is negotiable.

Not long after the children finished eating, Yuan Tao came back from the end of the alley.Seeing Cheng Xue here, he hurriedly went back to his room to get the account book and presented it with both hands.

"Madam, please take a look. These are the recent expenses. Yesterday, Mrs. Xiao sent a batch of food, which can last for almost half a month."

Xiao Song's wife gave a lot of things, but she couldn't hold back her talk.

Children alone have to eat dozens of kilograms of food a day, let alone the elderly.There is a word called "old rice grains". The old people eat no less than adult men.

Cheng Xue handed it to him after reading it and said:
"I gave you a lot of cotton and materials today. I told your wife to take the girls to make them. You take the time to take the two boys to the old man to take measurements. When you are not busy, take the children to Huwei Mountain. Cut some firewood, we’ll need it in the winter.”

"Madam, don't worry. I've already borrowed a cart from the government office and will take them up the mountain to chop firewood starting tomorrow."

"If someone asks you what you do, just say 'Jishantang'. You can answer whatever they ask. There is no need to be shy."

Yuan Tao was startled when he heard this, and then nodded in agreement.Since the lady didn't make it clear, it was hard for him to ask further questions. He just didn't know who this person was, so he could ask the lady to come over and remind him.

After Cheng Xue finished what she wanted to say, she ordered Bai Wei to find the two children and got up and left the house.

The couple followed each other out to see each other off. They didn't return to the courtyard and bolt the door until the carriage turned a corner and saw it.

"How's it going, old man? Have you taken a bath today?"

When Yuan Tao heard this, he sighed heavily and said:

"Why don't you wash them? The old Beiqi guys who can't move don't tell them until they urinate or defecate every time. I really want to throw them out."

He is not afraid of serving others. He has taken care of his father and uncle. He is very experienced in this aspect.I'm just angry because those old guys from Beiqi are causing harm to people and are ungrateful and ungrateful.

Every time he made the house stink, he realized it, and it made him feel aggrieved just thinking about it.

"Forget it, don't get angry with them. Mrs. Li pays us a lot of wages, and these children are also sensible. Look here, don't be like that over there."

"This is the only way." Yuan Tao shook his head helplessly, carrying a bucket to fetch water... (End of this chapter)
