Those who have lived for money for most of their lives naturally know that there are more vicious stepmothers than good stepmothers.
There have been precedents in the village where children were beaten to death by their stepmothers, so it is normal for the two children to be worried.
After all, he felt sorry for his children, so Qian Weimin agreed.
Externally, they said that the two children were well-behaved and sensible. They did not want to affect the relationship between their father and stepmother, so they took the initiative to move out and leave space for their father and stepmother.
Qian Weimin also took the time to call Zhou Dayou to the village headquarters and held a simple meeting with him. He said that he could marry Liu Wenzhu, but Liu Wenzhu had to pass the inspection for half a year before he could receive the dividend.
Also, the dividends he and Liu Wenzhu will receive in the future will be half for him and Liu Wenzhu, and half for Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua. It is unlikely that the father and stepmother will enjoy spicy food and leave the two children hungry, right?
The last thing is, if he dares to listen to Liu Wenzhu's pillow talk, bully, and hurt Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua, then please consciously leave Ping An Village.
From now on, whether you live or die, it has nothing to do with Ping An Village. If you don't leave on your own, the village will report it to the police.
Nowadays, the village will never allow things like biological father to become stepfather, and stepmother to abuse children.
This small meeting held by Qian Weimin was of great use. At least later when Liu Wenzhu encouraged Zhou Dayou to deal with Zhou Xiaoshu and sell Zhou Xiaohua, Zhou Dayou did not stupidly listen to Liu Wenzhu's words.
Staying in Pingan Village can fill your stomach, and you will get money every month. From time to time, there are also delicious dishes. If you want to eat meat, you can buy rabbits from the village. When the New Year is approaching, the village will also share fish.
He is a fool to leave Ping An Village with such good treatment.
"Oh, I'll go with you that afternoon, and I'll give them some small gifts." It's better for Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua to move out as soon as possible. That Liu Wenzhu is not a good person, so it's better not to have any contact with them.
To avoid being plotted against, I helped her count the money.
Song Xi has bought and recycled daily necessities a lot in the past few years. Whether they are new or old, she can give some to Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua.
The two came to the main room. Song Xi introduced everyone in the Li family to Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi had met Li Qingqing. After all, he took Song Xi for a review for the first time and stayed in the guest house where Li Qingqing worked.
Father Li reached out and patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder and said with emotion, "Young man, not bad, not bad."
As for other words like "Treat Song Xi well in the future" and "Song Xi is a good girl, don't let her down", Li's father did not say it because he was just an outsider and had no position to say these things. Besides, a conscious man
Comrades don't need to be reminded by others to treat their wives well.
If Song Xi needs help in the future, the Li family will never refuse.
Song Xi has a good relationship with the Li family, but Zhou Yi has nothing to do with the Li family. He is not overly unfamiliar or overly enthusiastic, and treats them just like ordinary villagers.
"Uncle, aunt, it's noon, let's go over to make lunch first, and you guys can chat!" Song Xi said, and went to the kitchen house with Zhou Yi. Although there were many ready-made dishes, she had already warmed them in the big iron pot.
It's in, but there are still a few dishes that need to be cooked fresh.
Pheasants, fish and crabs all had to be processed. The two people came to the kitchen house and started processing without saying anything. Song Xi used another large iron pot to boil hot water, while Zhou Yi went to the well to process grass carp and wash pickled vegetables.
How could Father Li and Mother Li sit still?
After the two drank the chrysanthemum tea in their cups, they came over to help, but there was no need for help, only the crabs that needed scrubbing.
The crabs nourished by Lingquan water were very clean and only needed simple cleaning, so Zhou Yi didn't let them help.
But they couldn't bear to watch the young couple working like this, so Mother Li called her two sons to help clean up the yard, but there was nothing to clean up in the yard, because Zhou Yi was a diligent person.
, I have already tidied up the inside and outside of the house.
There was nothing to do, so he couldn't just stand there and watch Zhou Yi and Song Xi busy at work, right? So, Li Yu picked up the big broom made of bamboo branches under the eaves and began to sweep the paths in the yard.
Li Lei ran to the kitchen to help Song Xi light the fire. He didn't know how to do other things, but could he not do something as simple as adding firewood to the bottom of the pot?
"Sister Qingqing, take your uncles, aunts, and elder brothers to play in the small stream under the slope in front of the door for a while! Just come back for dinner in an hour. There are many fun things in the stream! You can bring a small basket.
Help me pick up some small snails and bring them back." Seeing the awkward look of a few people having nothing to do, Song Xi reminded them.
If you go to someone else's house and ask her to sit or stand and watch the owner's business, she will also feel embarrassed.
In addition, the next three major dishes will take at least an hour to prepare. You can't just let the Li family be bored for an hour, right?
The Li family really felt embarrassed, so each of them took a small basket.
As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard, I saw a spacious small stream under the slope. The water in the small stream was not deep and crystal clear. At a glance, I could see the smooth and flat stones washed at the bottom, as well as densely packed small snails.
Since Song Xi wants small snails, they will help her pick up more.
So an hour later, everyone returned home with a full load, and the small baskets were filled with small snails. Although Aunt Li, Mo Ziqiu, and Zhou Xiaoshu often picked up small snails and brought them to her to exchange for money, there were still many small snails in this long stream.
Too much is not enough.
As soon as Song Xi brought the dishes to the main room, he saw everyone coming in and said hurriedly, "Everyone, please go to the stove and wash your hands with hot water! It's time to eat."
Song Xi poured the small snails they picked up directly into the large water tank where the crabs were raised. Because the water contained spiritual springs, letting the spiritual springs nourish them for a while would also make the small snails more delicious. Waiting for the Li family
When I go back, I just ask the Li family to take a basket back to try it out.
After everyone had tidied up, we came to the main room and was surprised by the dishes on the table. There were mushroom stewed chicken, pickled fish, fish head soup, braised crab, yam and pork ribs soup, stir-fried dried conches, and braised large crabs.
Dried yellow croaker, simple version of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.
How do they know dried seafood? It's not because Song Xi gave them some before, otherwise they wouldn't have the chance to eat something from the sea.
"Except for the dried seafood, the rest are all local specialties from our mountains. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality!" Pheasants, fish, and crabs are all easily caught, so they are not considered precious.
s things.
"Is this called poor hospitality? Even if you have money, you can't buy these things in the city. This shows how precious these things are. You must have suffered a lot to catch these things, right?"
Although these things are very common in rural areas, not everyone can catch them. How can someone without any real skills catch so many things?
