Stepmother Shaoguang

"That's right. So every time I come to Hai's house, the three aunts will surround me, saying that they can finally experience the feeling of dressing up their daughter. They put all the clothes and jewelry on me, and it doesn't make people breathless."

Although he said he was complaining, He Shaoguang's eyes were full of smiles. From the attitudes of his uncles and aunts and the servants of the Hai family as soon as they entered the door, it can be seen that the Hai family is very close to her, and they really treat her like their own daughter. of.

"Biao~aunt!" A little girl carved in pink and jade ran in from the outside and bumped into He Shaoguang's knee, and sat backwards on the ground, startling the two of them.

He Shaoguang hurriedly squatted down to see if she was injured, but the little girl hugged her neck as soon as she squatted in front of her.

The sweet aroma of toffee hit her, and the other villain slapped her face: "Cousin! Xiaoying misses you so much!"

Seeing her like this, He Shaoguang knew that the little girl was fine, so he slapped her lightly on the buttocks: "Are you secretly eating a lot of candy again? How dare you come to me?"

"No!" Hai Keying said loudly, but he didn't dare to look at her with guilty eyes, and he loosened the hand on his neck.

"Biao uncle!" Hai Keying is six years old, and has already started to recognize people, and of course he also remembers the man who stole his sister-in-law.

"Is this cousin Yuli's daughter?" Lu Xiaowen squinted her eyes to tell the difference for a long time, but couldn't tell which child it was, so she had to guess based on her age.

Hai Keying's appearance perfectly inherited the almond eyes and small upturned nose of his mother He's. Her little face is tender and tender, as cute as a virgin in the statue of Guanyin.

"Yeah." He Shaoguang saw a few little heads scratching at the gate of the courtyard, and waved at them, "Oh my God! Why did you come together? My brain is going to explode."

"Hey, Cousin, you haven't been home for a long time, we miss you~" Hai Keshan also squeezed over, and took He Shaoguang's knee with Hai Keying.

The remaining two younger ones would only call her vaguely: "Cousin!" Then they would stare at her knees with sticky eyes, showing longing.

He Shaoguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he wanted to crawl on top of her?Her small body can't bear it.

Lu Xiaowen picked up one in each hand, and sat down on the side, so that they could sit on his lap, and now the four little girls of the Hai family were happy, and started shouting from an arm's length away.

"Cousin, is this the first time you come to our house? Our house is so beautiful, have you ever visited it?" Hai Keshan leaned against He Shaoguang, and was also very interested in this strange uncle, so she tried to Talk to him.

Hai Keying immediately retorted: "Tch, doesn't my cousin have a garden in his own house? You know how to play, Xiaoshan. You should ask my cousin if he has been to Cangshan Mountain. Their adults like this kind of mountains and waters. I don't like playing hide and seek with you."

Hai Keshan thought it made sense, so she immediately changed her words: "Uncle, have you ever been to Cangshan? It's so beautiful there!"

Speaking of climbing Cangshan Mountain, He Shaoguang felt that her legs had already started to fill with lead. She was lucky enough to climb up the more than 3000 stone stairs once.

When standing on the top of the mountain, it is true that the mountains are small at a glance, and it is true that the whole body hurts for several days after going down the mountain.

Lu Xiaowen couldn't say no to such a cute little girl, and agreed to all of them: "Okay, I will definitely go when my uncle finishes his business."

It was too late, and a few children came to join in the fun, and then were dragged back to their own yard by their mothers to sleep.

Lu Xiaowen rubbed his temples that were swollen from the day's journey, and said with emotion: "Uncle and the others all gave birth to boys, but when it comes to my cousin, all of them are girls. It's true."

"They are no more worry-free than little boys. Just look at them. It's just the first time we met today, and they are still restrained in front of you."

He Shaoguang smiled wryly, the little nieces were too lively and it was a headache, but every time she came back, she was the one who took care of the children.

No matter how relaxed and peaceful the atmosphere was the night before, no one could smile at the desolation of the ground when they devoted themselves to the work of disaster statistics the next day.

Since the autumn harvest, the land that had been dry for the whole year last year has become more barren due to the summer and autumn harvests. The fertile land has become thinner, and even the forage for the cattle is mixed with a lot of withered and yellow roots.

In the past, if there was a farming ox in a village, each family had to take turns to plow the land, and the ox was given the best tender grass to eat, but now it can only let it chew grass roots that cannot be chewed at all.

Some farmers took off their straw hats and sat on the threshold of their house, looking at the sky silently, calculating whether it would rain in the next few days, so as to confuse themselves and forget their hunger.

Some people saw that their fields were not strong enough, so they even started planting winter wheat.

Everyone can understand that this is because the food at home is really not enough, but what should we do if we are so tossing about the next spring planting?
Lu Xiaowen and Xue Litai didn't ride horses. This is what they saw along the way with the village head and village head of Lihua Village.

Yu Shiping originally wanted to take Lu Xiaowen to a place where the disaster was not too serious, so he had someone beat up the head of the village and the village in advance, and asked them to clean up the house in advance, so that they would not show any particularly bad looks.

But Lu Xiaowen obviously won't be deceived by him again like a saint. After getting along with him yesterday, he has already figured out Yu Shiping's temperament.

So he asked Brother Hai to find him a local guide who was familiar with the area around Lihua Village.

The person was found by Mrs. Hai herself, because her natal family is in Lihua Village. Of course, she hoped that the villagers would get more benefits.

Therefore, without hesitation, Lu Xiaowen chose to follow the guide all the way to the direction of Lihua Village, passing through two other villages, Daniu Village and Xinghua Village, where the situation was more serious. There were basically no young adults in the village, so he had to go out to the town I work to earn money to eat, or I can't stand the disaster year and run out to become a refugee, so as to reduce the burden on the family and come back when the family situation is better.

Yu Shiping saw that all the families were so disrespectful, so he gave Li Zhang a hard look, but Li Zhang Quan pretended not to notice.

Although Yu Shiping can't afford to offend him, the chief can tell that Master Yu is looking at the young general next to him, and even the middle-aged bearded official who is in charge of recording is looking at him. manner.

Similarly, he also saw along the way that this General Lu was on the side of the villagers, and asked Mr. Xue to record the truth and not let Mr. Yu intervene.

Although Mrs. Yu also went to the countryside to inspect before, but he just walked around casually, and even went to the squire's house for a meal before he finished the two villages. After returning, it really had nothing to do with their Lihua Village.

He didn't expect that the imperial court would send someone again, this time he didn't want to help this person and let the villagers hide it, so he really couldn't hold on anymore.
