Before dawn, Ruan Mingzi got up from the earthen kang, making her hands and feet lightly, afraid that she would wake up Ruan Mingyan, who was still sleeping well.

She took a long time from the short-legged cabinet next to the earthen kang last night, and finally found her slightly more clothes.

It was her cheap father's old shirt. In my memory, I must have worn it for many years, patched it up, and it was a little white when washed, and it was even worn out in many places. It was because of this that the clothes were left by Mrs. Zhao, who was shave three feet away.

However, Ruan Mingzi didn't dislike it at all. The old shirt was washed clean, but some dust fell from the past six months. She shook the dust hard and put it on.

After all, it was an adult's old shirt. The sleeves and trouser legs grew a lot empty. Ruan Mingzi folded the sleeves and trouser legs up from the wrists and ankles, and then tied them with a slender rope made of vines. The clothes were no longer in the way.

It's quite neat, just looking a little terrible.

But this is not a big deal. Ruan Mingzi grew up after suffering a lot. When he was in the orphanage, he often picked up his brothers and sisters who were wearing old clothes and sewing them to make up for them.

After Ruan Mingzi took off herself, she gently took off Ruan Mingyan's outer dress, who was still sleeping.

Ruan Mingyan has a well-behaved personality, even when she is asleep, and she is obedient. She closes her eyes and stretches her arms in conjunction with Ruan Mingzi's movements.

Ruan Mingzi covered the remaining old shirt on Ruan Mingyan, and then he carried the clothes the two sisters changed to the yard.

There was no basin at home, so Ruan Mingzi found a thicker bamboo knot and split it horizontally from the middle, so she could barely store water to wash clothes.

After washing, Ruan Mingzi picked up two thick and long dead branches, tied them up with vines, and pestled them into the mud, and carried them to dry them.

After Ruan Mingzi finished these things, the genius was just dawning. Not far away, the crowing sounds of roosters came one after another. Yuyuanpo Village seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, and began to have a fireworks.

There was a rustling noise from the main house. Ruan Mingzi calculated that it was Ruan Mingyan who woke up, so she went into the house to help Ruan Mingyan put their father's old clothes on her body. Ruan Mingyan was only five years old and was a little malnourished in the past six months and was smaller in size. In order to make it easier for her to move, Ruan Mingzi wrapped her clothes around her for several turns before she tied up. Finally, she looked at Ruan Mingyan like a tumbler doll.

"I washed my previous clothes and hung them up. I put them on it first," Ruan Mingzi touched Ruan Mingyan's somewhat yellowed soft hair, "I'm going to buy you new clothes in a few days."

Ruan Mingyan shook her head quickly and showed a big smile to Ruan Mingzi.

Ruan Mingzi understood what Ruan Mingyan meant, and the little girl was saying it was okay.

Ruan Mingzi touched the little girl's cheek again, she was so thin that she had no flesh. She wanted to make the little girl fatter, "...Let's go and wash your face. I'll go to the kitchen to heat up the chicken soup left over last night."

Although she was only five years old, the poor child had already become a family, and Ruan Mingyan didn't need Ruan Mingzi to take care of her. She obediently fucked water from the well and cleaned her hands and face.

At this moment, Ruan Mingzi had already heated the chicken soup left over last night on the stove, and soaked two coarse grain cakes sent by Lu Ruier yesterday. The soft cakes were filled with mellow chicken soup. After eating them in one bite, a strong sense of happiness rose from the stomach and warmed up all over.

The two sisters sat on the wooden pier and ate the chicken soup in the bamboo tube cleanly without leaving a drop.

But this is not possible. If you don’t have salt, you still have to go to the county town to buy some salt when you have time.

Ruan Mingzi thought to herself that Ruan Mingyan had already stepped on her short legs and took the initiative to clean the bamboo tubes and chopsticks of the two.

I have to get something and find some inputs to get some money. While thinking, Ruan Mingzi quickly used the sun-dried rooster tail feathers to tit a colorful feather shuttlecock for Ruan Mingyan.

After all, it was a child. Ruan Mingyan couldn't put down the colorful shuttlecock made of the rooster tail feather. She was wrapped in too many clothes, which made her movements a little less flexible, and her kicking movements were a bit silly.

But this did not prevent her from liking this shuttlecock, holding it and bending her eyebrows and eyes.

Ruan Mingzi looked at her sister being so happy and she felt much better. She touched Ruan Mingyan's little head: "You can play for a while, I'm going there. There are a few fruits given by Aunt Gao in the room. I have washed them all and put them in the bamboo cup on the cabinet. If you are hungry, go and eat some fruits."

Ruan Mingyan nodded vigorously while holding the colorful shuttlecock.

The Lizheng family in Yuyuanpo Village is located in the southwest corner of Yuyuanpo Village, not too far from Ruan Mingzi's family. The son and his family opened a small shop in the county town. They lived a good life and wanted to take their parents to the county town to live. However, the Lizheng couple was used to living in this remote village. Neighbors and villagers got along well, so they rejected their son's proposal and still lived in Yuyuanpo Village.

The old couple usually grows vegetables and raises chickens, and occasionally helps the villagers resolve disputes, which is very comfortable.

When Ruan Mingzi passed by, the wooden door of Li Zheng's house was hidden. From the crack of the door, you could see Li Zheng's wife, Zhou Deng, was holding a basket with a dumpling and feeding chickens with bean dregs.

Ruan Mingzi raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

Ruan Mingzi responded obediently: "Grandma Deng, I am Ruan Mingzi. If you have something to do, I will look for Grandpa Li Zheng."

The sound of footsteps came from inside. Mrs. Deng Zhou held a scoop in her arms and opened the door for Ruan Mingzi. Seeing Ruan Mingzi's appearance, she was stunned for a moment, looked up and down, sighed and said nothing.

There were a few chickens growing freely in the yard. Zhou Dengshi simply poured the bean dregs in the basket to the ground, allowing the chickens to giggle and rush around. While wiping their hands on the apron tied around their waists, he led Ruan Mingzi to the room.

Zhou Lizheng also heard the movement, wearing a outer robe on his shoulder, and just lifted the curtain. He saw Ruan Mingzi wearing an obviously adult shirt, but tied it with vines for a few times, which looked very neat. It can be seen that the little girl was also smart.

Zhou Lizheng didn't say anything next to him, but only signaled Ruan Mingzi to come into the house with him.

Ruan Mingzi followed Zhou Lizheng into the house. Zhou Deng also grabbed a handful of almonds fried with apricot trees in his yard.

Ruan Mingzi thanked him and heard Zhou Lizheng sigh: "I have heard about your grandma's affairs, and it is indeed a bit unreasonable. I will talk to you about her later. How can you and your sister and the two children move out..."

Ruan Mingzi knew that Zhou Lizheng was a misunderstanding.

"Grandpa Lizheng misunderstood. My sister and I were living well outside. Although the family was bare and had nothing, it was much better than being beaten and scolded at the Ruan family at all times." Ruan Mingzi casually gave the Ruan family eye drops in front of Zhou Lizheng, and didn't say much, as if she mentioned something inadvertently. She smiled and talked about her purpose for this trip, "...I came to see Grandpa Lizheng today for something yesterday. It was not a big deal. Gangzi of Aunt Wang's family brought someone to knock down my fence. You also know that now my sister and I live at home, so we are relying on the fence to prevent it. As a result, no one from Gangzi's family came to help us repair the fence... At night, my third uncle entered the yard from the collapsed fence. I thought it was a thief and was shocked!"

Zhou Lizheng's ancestors have been from Yuyuanpo Village for generations, and their relationships are mixed and they are clear about many things in the village.

For example, Gangzi's family is really related to Zhou Lizheng's family. Although this relative is a bit far apart, Zhou Lizheng can be regarded as seeing Gangzi grow up, and he also knows Gangzi's naughtyness and naughtiness.

Zhou Lizheng nodded: "Okay, you go back first. I'll go to Gangzi's house to urge you later. It's not the time for busy farming. Let's focus on building a fence for your house first."

After Zhou Lizheng's promise, Ruan Mingzi thanked him with gratitude and was about to leave.

Zhou Dengshi grabbed a handful of fried almonds. Seeing that Ruan Mingzi had a small hand and couldn't take much, she simply took a small cloth bag sewn by herself and put it in for Ruan Mingzi.

Ruan Mingzi: “…”
