Chapter 4 The Yard
The next day, just after dawn, there was movement outside the house.

Now it's the beginning of spring, and everyone in the family has to go to dig the ground. After a winter, the ground is frozen and caked, so digging the ground is a very important thing.When it gets warmer, the spring seeds will germinate and grow better.The common people pointed to this little land, so they wanted to serve them more carefully.

The girls in the room got up one after another. The room had no windows or oil lamps, and it was very dark.Everyone goes to bed when it is dark, and gets up when it is dark, and generally does not enter the house during the day.The environment is so bad, she doesn't want to stay in the house.However, since she didn't have breakfast in the morning, she might as well wait until it was a little brighter and go out.

Li Xiaolan slept for a while, and when it was dawn, she woke up, her stomach was growling and she couldn't lie down.

Stretching out his hand to support the wall and sitting up, the bed board creaked and shook, Li Xiaolan's heart slowed down a bit, he was really afraid that the bed would collapse.With a stiff body, he picked up the thin cotton coat and trousers that had been used as a pillow under his head and put it on. When he got out of bed, he felt a thin layer of sweat, which was purely nervous.

Open the door and walk out slowly. The sunshine in early spring makes people feel warm, but the wind is still chilly, and it is uncomfortable to blow on the face.

Li Xiaolan rubbed her face a few times to let herself get used to the sunshine and temperature.

The yard was clear at a glance, there were three main rooms, the middle room should be the main room, she saw that the door was open, and there was an Eight Immortals table in the middle.

There are four rooms on the east side, but each one looks smaller than the main room. Li Xiaolan observed carefully again. It should be that the two rooms are divided into four rooms. Same length and width.

No need to think too much, Li Xiaolan also knew the location of the family's house. The east side of the main house was the old couple, the west side was the eldest, and the east side was a row of four rooms for the remaining four brothers.In the two rooms on the west side, the girl she just came out lives in, and the boy in the family lives in the next room.

On the south side of the yard, sheds were set up on the left and right sides. On the left was the pigsty with two pigs waiting to be fed. On the right was the chicken pen. There seemed to be about a dozen of them.There is a large wooden door in the middle, which is now ajar.

Why didn't you see the kitchen?Li Xiaolan thought for a while, walked towards the main room, went in and saw a small door on the side, she opened the small door and saw the kitchen, this room was separated into two parts, the back is the kitchen.

Li Xiaolan searched around. There was a cold pot and a cold stove. There was a cupboard. When it was opened, there were only bowls and chopsticks, and there was no food at all.When she opened the water tank, there was half a tank of water. She took a large bowl that looked clean and had no gaps, scooped it up, opened another wooden door and went out, and saw a shed near the wall with firewood piled up, surrounded by a fence. The Jilong vegetable field is currently empty but has obviously been turned over. It is estimated that vegetables will be planted soon.

Li Xiaolan squatted by the vegetable field, simply rinsed her mouth with a bowl of water and washed her face.There was nothing like a towel, a toothbrush, and the water was still ice-cold. She took several shakes after finishing it.She saw that there were several pieces of cloth hanging in the kitchen that seemed to be washcloths, and there was also a large handful of willow branches, but unfortunately she had no desire to hold them.Does anyone know which is which...

Li Xiaolan couldn't help being dazed with the last sip of cold water in her mouth. She really wanted to live a good life, but this backward living environment really wasn't something she could just adapt to...

There was a sound from the yard, and it was estimated that someone had come back.Li Xiaolan returned the bowl to the cabinet and walked out.

A gray-haired, hunchbacked old lady came back from cutting pigweed with a few little girls, and was instructing them to work.
