An San'er saw the handsome and strong figure disappeared into the alley after seeing him off at the back door, and shook his head.


    He didn't expect Zhang Fangyuan to be so innocent, and he had seen the iron tree bloom once, but he didn't know whose little ge’er was so unlucky to fall into his hands.

    Zhang Fangyuan came back early in the afternoon, drove the carriage to the gate of his courtyard, and saw that the gate was wide open. He thought it was Xu He who heard the sound of horseshoes and opened it specially to meet him. The horse rushed back to the courtyard, only to see Xiaomao squatting in the courtyard and playing.


    At the moment, he was feeding the chickens and ducklings with the small caterpillars caught in the cabbage field.

    "Cousin, you're back!"

    Seeing someone, Xiaomao quickly poured the caterpillars in the leaf bag to the chickens and ducks, causing the chickens and ducks to scream happily.

    "Come here to accompany your sister-in-law?"

    Zhang Fangyuan jumped out of the carriage and threw the two fishes that he said he would buy back in the morning into the water tank in the yard.

    Zhang Xiaomao lay on the edge of the water tank and looked at the two happy herrings swimming in the water tank: "In the morning, my sister-in-law sent buns to my parents and me, so I went to dig wild vegetables with him."

    Zhang Fangyuan rubbed Zhang Xiaomao's head, raised his neck and looked into the room: "Where's your sister-in-law?" Why didn't he come out to greet him when he heard the voice.

    "My sister-in-law went out to cut horse grass, and he should be back in a while."

    "Oh...then have you dug up a lot of wild vegetables today?”

    " Mother praised me when I brought it back."

    Zhang Fangyuan laughed: "Really, then you have become competent with your sister-in-law here."

    At this point, Zhang Xiaomao was about to complain to his cousin.

    His sister-in-law was obviously so capable, but Mrs. Xu still scolded him so fiercely, even if she bullied his sister-in-law, she still wanted to ask someone to help her in the house. He was cared for and brought up since he was a child, and his parents had never said such a heavy word to himself before. Although he saw Xu He's calm face later and didn't take it to heart, he felt even more distressed.

    He must often being scolded like this and had gotten used it.

    He looked outside the yard and saw that Xu He hadn't come back. He whispered: "Today we went out to dig wild vegetables and met Mrs. Xu. She asked my sister-in-law to help her with the work. When the sister-in-law didn't agree, she scolded my sister-in-law, she scolded him so fiercely, she even scolded me!"

    Zhang Fangyuan frowned: "She dares, she dares to come and scold my man!"

    "Xiaomao, take this piece of meat, go home and ask your mother to cook it for you, cousin won’t let you eat at my house today, I will go to Xu’s house to clean up the people later.”

    Zhang Fangyuan took a piece of half a catty pork in the basket

and gave it to Xiaomao. It was leftovers. It wasn’t that he was reluctant to give good meat. He took a big piece of meat to his fourth uncle for safekeeping and let Xiaomao bring it back, but they only took it when the meat looked hard to sell.


    Seeing that there was meat to eat, Xiaomao thanked Zhang Fangyuan happily, and went home with the meat.

    "Cousin, in two days I'll come over to dig wild vegetables with my sister-in-law again. He said digging for one day and one rest day."

    Zhang Fangyuan nodded towards Xiaomao who ran out of the yard for a while.

    It didn't take long for Xu He to come back. Seeing Xiao Hei in the yard, he knew that Zhang Fangyuan had come back from work. Seeing that the sun was still hanging on the edge of the West Mountain, this man came back really early today.

    "How is the business today?"

    "It's okay. The mountain goods have been sold out, and there are still people asking. The pork should be fine for another day. Even if it can't be sold out tomorrow, it will be sold at a low price. After a long time, the meat will not be fresh. I’ve already put the rest in the well for storage.”

    Xu He nodded: “If it’s not possible, just put salt on it and hang it on the stove to make bacon. Are you hungry? I’m going to cook. Why did Xiaomao come back? "

    "I told him to come back."

    "I saw that there are fishes in the water tank, why didn't you let him eat the fish?"

    Zhang Fangyuan stepped forward and patted the grass clippings on Xu He's body: "

Don't eat at home today, go to Xu's house.”

    Xu He’s eyebrows twitched: “Why do you want to go there?”

    Zhang Fangyuan said: “According to the days, shouldn’t it be time to go home today?”

    In fact, Zhang Fangyuan felt that the two families relationship was not deep, and it didn't matter whether they returned or not, like those who married far away and had been married for ten or more years. But with the Xu family's virtue, they needed to go there empty-handed to disgust them, so that the Xu family would also know what it meant to be annoying.

    Xu He vaguely felt that Xiaomao had filed a complaint. He was hesitant to go back, but Zhang Fangyuan closed the door of the house and pulled him out: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. Your father doesn't care about any family affairs. The eccentric old lady only picks soft persimmons, if I don't come to give her some color to see, she will come back again next time, and there will be no clean life."

    "Why are you here?"

    Xu Shaochun was cursing and sorting out the chicken and duck manure in the yard. The poultry was so big that they had to eat a big pot of bran noodles stewed with chopped vegetable leaves. After eating, they would pull, and if they pulled more, If you didn't take care of it every day, it would be so dirty that you couldn't move your feet.


    Xu He used to do all these jobs, but now that he was married first, it fell on her shoulders.

    She didn't want to do it at first, but the family really couldn't spare any manpower, so she had to hold back her temper and cook the food for the poultry, thinking that it would be fine when she got married, but she gradually got used to it. Seeing Xu He, who hadn't shown up at home for several days, came back today, she immediately became angry.
