In the evening, Ivan Qiu woke up, or maybe he woke up because of a nightmare.

When he walked out the door, the sun had already set, and he saw a busy family at the moment.

The elder brother pointed the knife at the chicken's neck and cut it.

Since they hadn't left the house all day when they saw the third child coming back, they must have been sleeping, so they didn't wake him up, but chose to finish the housework silently.

The eldest brother is killing the chicken, while the second brother is washing vegetables.

The little nephew went outside to play and has not come back yet. Grandpa is sitting on the balcony with a rocking chair, waving a fan with his eyes closed and concentrating.

Life in the countryside is leisurely and busy. In the morning, people are busy going out to the mountains, at noon, they are busy feeding cattle and sheep at home, in the afternoon, they are busy with farm work in the fields, and in the evening, they are busy making food.

The second sister-in-law carried a pile of dry firewood from the woodshed to the stove, while Ivan Qiu went to pluck chicken feathers with her elder brother.

Chicken is not eaten often, but only once in a while. Most of the chickens, ducks and geese raised at home are sold to supplement the family income.

At this time, my mother and sister-in-law have just come back from the fields. It is already close to July. The most they can do when going to the fields is to cut off the short corns that are not growing well and have not produced corn bags. Those corns can be fully used to feed cattle and rabbits.

.

The second sister-in-law had already lit the fire and came out to take the vegetables washed by the second brother and brought them into the kitchen. The elder sister-in-law put down her burden and followed her into the kitchen to busy cooking.

Anyone can cook dinner on weekdays, and I will come over to help whenever I have time.

As usual, my mother rushed the chickens and ducks into the cage and locked them up, and would not let them out until dawn tomorrow morning.

Soon the food was ready.

The family sat down around the table.

According to the old rules, everyone has to wait for grandpa to say it's time to eat before everyone starts eating with chopsticks.

Although my sister-in-law has never read any books, she is very filial to her grandfather and mother. Every time she eats, she will take the initiative to give the tastiest and biggest pieces to her grandfather.

As for the second sister-in-law, it's okay. She's used to staying at home, and many of her previous bad habits have almost been changed.

Before the second sister-in-law was married, she was basically the apple of her mother's family's eye.

Before Ivanxia met her second sister-in-law, she had already reached the age of marriage and was still single.

The reason is that I had talked with a local girl before, and the wedding date had been confirmed. But unfortunately, one morning when she went out to cut grass, she accidentally rolled down a cliff and was seriously injured. She was later taken to the hospital.

The doctor said it was too late and there was no way he could be saved.

Since then, Ivan Xia has been single and did not dare to consider looking for someone else.

After that incident, there were many versions of the story in the village. Some began to say that the horoscopes did not match, and some said that they were being targeted by ghosts and evil spirits. No matter what they said, they all pointed the finger at Ivan Xia, because they had told fortunes before.

, there is a saying that the second brother's destiny is negative, and it is said that marrying a person with a strong enough fate can suppress the second brother's anti-negative, so many people are not willing to marry him.

Originally, the second brother wanted to come to the house, but both mother and father disagreed. After many inquiries and matchmaking, the second sister-in-law was allowed to marry him.

The second sister-in-law’s native family has two brothers, both of whom doted on her.

When I first got married, I didn't know how to do many housework, but Ivanxia taught me how to do it. Even eating at home is very casual.

I never took the initiative to pick up food for the elderly. It was only after I came here that I saw how filial and respectful the elderly were at home, so I started to do it. It felt awkward at first, but over time it became a habit.

"Come on, Mom." The second sister-in-law put a large piece of chicken breast into Mom's rice bowl, and then put the chicken legs to her little nephew: "Xiao Linzi needs to eat more, and he has to grow taller."

"Uncle, you should also eat more. Chicken is highly nutritious and helps with wound healing."

Iwanqiu stretched out his rice bowl and took the chicken breast from his second sister-in-law: "Thank you, second sister-in-law."

Grandpa was deeply pleased to see the family living in such harmony. Of course, two ounces of wine was indispensable, and he looked radiant after drinking.

The eldest brother held up a bowl of wine and said to Ivan Qiu: "Here."

Ivan Qiu also raised the bowl filled with wine and politely touched the bowl extended by his elder brother.

The eldest brother rarely drinks alcohol. He made an exception today probably because Ivan Qiu was released.

Then the second brother raised the bowl again: "Third brother, thanks to grandpa? If this family didn't have grandpa personally making that trip, it would be hard to say now. In the few days since you came in, your second sister-in-law always cried when she thought of you.

I keep worrying about you."

"I was very nervous when I first entered. That kind of place is really not a place for people to live." Ivan Qiu sighed and took a sip of wine.

This is home-brewed corn wine. The alcohol content is not high, about 20 degrees.

"Thanks to Hao Zhengnan, I discussed it with your father for a long time in those days. At first we planned to go to Director Sun, but then, the newspaper your father bought had a headline recording Hao Lao's deeds, so your father and I decided to go there temporarily.

Find Mr. Hao, it’s true.”

"Hi, Mr. Hao is a good man." The old man's eyes seemed to recall the glorious years with Hao Zhengnan in the past, more or less mixed with a lot of gratitude.

"I also heard that the village chief asked a lot of people to sign the petition, and that brother Liu Heng brought a lot of people there." The little nephew tore open the chicken legs and proudly talked about how he was the same age.

Liu Heng, the heroic elder brother passed down among children.

"Who did you listen to?" The second sister-in-law asked the little nephew with a smile. Obviously, adults would not believe such words. They just thought what the child said was a bit cute. If they didn't expose it, they would give the child a world of fantasy.

There they admire their heroes.

"I won't tell you." The nephew tilted his head and pretended to be profound, which was actually a bit funny. Everyone present laughed at the child, and the atmosphere suddenly seemed to become easy-going.

many.

"You have to tell us that in the future, if you remember to buy candies for them when you go out on the street, we also have to thank them for their help. Are you right?" The second sister-in-law said to her nephew in a harmonious voice,

Then he looked up at everyone present, and his eyes fell on the little nephew again.

The little nephew put down the chicken legs, raised his little face, and said seriously: "Did you say that?"

"of course."

"Then." After thinking for a moment, he stretched out his little finger and said to Er Niang, "Don't regret the hook." Then he leaned into Er Sister's ear and said in a very low voice, "Whoever regrets it is a puppy.

"

The second sister-in-law stretched out her little finger to hook up with her nephew.

"Okay, I can tell you." The little nephew sat back in his seat, with a look of satisfaction in his ghostly eyes, as if he was very satisfied with the result just now.

"Say it quickly?" the second sister-in-law said with a smile.

The little nephew stretched out five fingers and read out the names one by one: "Iwanhong, Yijiajia, Iyongtian..." These are the neighbors he met outside, and he counted them.
