Chapter 21
In the past, Meng Yunxiao focused on studying, and he had slightly less land than Meng Dafen.But after Mr. Xia passed away, all the land left by the Xia family was with the Xia family. Generally speaking, the Meng Yan family had a little more land than the Meng family.

Now that Meng Yan wants to return her own food, it is even more impossible to give them half a grain of food in the future.And their family of five has limited food, so they will have to make ends meet in the future.

Meng Da could only sigh dejectedly, hating Meng Yan's small belly and lack of understanding in his heart.

Meng Yan returned home with two villagers carrying food.Seeing several baskets full of grain being brought into the courtyard, Xia was speechless in shock.

Meng Yan went into the house and took a cloth bag and printed half a bucket of grain for the villagers. The villagers took the grain with a smile and left.

After the villagers left, Mrs. Xia bolted the courtyard door again, and asked in surprise, "Ah Nai, where did you... get so much food?"

Meng Yan said: "I went to the uncle's house and took back all our share. In the future, the stepmother doesn't need to save on food, she can be full every meal."

Xia Shi still couldn't believe it, and said, "They allowed you to take so much?"

Meng Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "I'll bring back my own stuff, uncle must pack the food for me personally."

Xia held Meng Yan's head, looked left and right, and said nervously: "Ah, you haven't been bullied by them, have you? Your uncle and grandmother are the most hated to see who touches their food, and there must be a huge disturbance..."

Meng Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, I'm fine."

When Xia saw that she was indeed fine, she was relieved, and then mustered all her strength to carry four baskets of grain into the house with Meng Yan.

Xia's words and deeds have a sense of looseness and flexibility, and the wrinkles between his brows unknowingly unfolded.

In the future, when it comes to food, you don't have to look at other people's faces anymore.

After Xia settled down the food, she excitedly went to the kitchen to make lunch.

Meng Yan opened the curtain in the room to see Yin Heng.

Xia's mouth is as sharp as a knife, and her heart is true. She said that Yin Heng dragged Meng Yan down, but such a wounded man couldn't be thrown out everywhere.

So when Meng Yan was not at home in the morning, she properly warmed the medicine and served it to Yin Heng to drink.

Yin Heng took the medicine and said, "Thank you Ma'am."

Xia's face was guarded and cold, "You don't have to thank me. If you want to thank me, you can thank Auntie. She picked you up and wanted to cure you. I can't play tricks on her. It's better if you get better soon, so you can get better." Get out of here quickly."

The Xia family has lived in this village since he could remember.The men in the village are basically strong and strong, working hard in the field with all their strength.

As for Yin Heng in front of him, he was not expected to work in the fields at first glance, and he didn't have the poor bookishness of Meng Yunxiao who pretended to be elegant.

The alienated but gentle temperament exuded from him is natural, more like the noble son of an unattainable family.

Meng Yan didn't exaggerate his appearance and demeanor, there might be no one in all the villages, even cities and towns, who is more outstanding than him.

But the Xia clan knows himself, he doesn't belong here.

Yin Heng's voice was calm and pleasant, and said: "Ma'am, don't worry, Auntie has saved my life. If I can leave in the future, I will never drag her down."

Right now, Meng Yan was sitting beside Yin Heng, stretched out her hand to feel his pulse, and said: "Your complexion is better than yesterday, after lunch, I will change your medicine."

Yin Heng's pale eyes looked at her seriously, Meng Yanyan had a dog disease again, she was so seduced by him, as if her soul was about to come out of her body.

Meng Yan said: "If you look at me like this again, I will become a beast."

Yin Heng said: "Ah Nam, you are really amazing."

Meng Yan smiled lowly, took off a piece of bandage to check his injury, and said, "Really, what's wrong with me?"

Yin Heng said solemnly: "It's good everywhere. It can not only deal with bad people, but also support the family. It's so good to me."

It happened that Mrs. Xia passed by outside the door, and upon hearing this, she saw Meng Yan's fascinated face again, and the image of a loving mother collapsed in an instant: "Ah Nan, wake up, don't be seduced by his sweet words! Come to the kitchen and help me light the fire!"

Meng Yan responded quickly, and was taken to the kitchen by Xia's ear.

At noon Xia made porridge and baked cakes stuffed with wild vegetables.The grains in this ancient countryside are not so refined, but they have a primitive, fresh, sweet taste.

It is also very tasty to eat with cakes and porridge.

Although Yin Heng couldn't set a table to eat together, every time Xia shi cooked meals for three people, he never treated him badly.

After the meal, Meng Yan began to decoct the medicine while changing the medicine for Yin Heng to treat the wound.

Next, Meng Yan had to consider how to improve the family's living environment.

Living in one room is inconvenient and not a long-term solution.Moreover, the thatched hut at home is also very old, and it will leak when it rains, which is very simple.

Yin Heng is now temporarily in the status of a son-in-law, so he can barely be regarded as a member of the family.

So when they were free at night, the family of three began to figure out how to build a new house.

The wood for building the house can be cut in the mountains, but the tiles for the roof have to be bought.Another thing is that Meng Yan and Xia's family can't handle this matter, so they need to ask someone to help.

Asking the villagers to help, Meng Yan plans to give a pick of grain as a reward, and it can basically be done.There was only one pick of grain left, enough for the three of them to eat until the autumn harvest.

Meng Yan went to dig out some paper that Meng Yunxiao had left before, drew on it with black charcoal, drew a yard, and several rooms, and pointed out what this room was used for and what the other room was used for. Shi looked excited, and pointed to the drawing paper with longing in his face, wondering what should be added here and what should be added there.

Yin Heng patiently listened to the mother and daughter's arrangements for the new house.

Meng Yan patted the ashes on her hands and said, "Okay, now everything is ready, the only thing that needs money is money."

The Xia family had a problem: "The family doesn't have much money, where can I collect so much money to buy tiles?"

Building a house in the countryside is considered a big deal.How could Meng Yan and Xia's two women support it alone? Xia didn't want Meng Yan to work too hard, so she sighed: "I think it's better to put it aside and talk about it later."

Meng Yan said: "Mother, don't worry, there will always be ways to make money."

At this time Yin Heng said solemnly: "Go sell ginseng."

Meng Yan was drinking water, and a sip of water came out of her nose.

Seeing this, Yin Heng looked normal and raised his hand to help Meng Yan wipe it with great concern, saying, "Why are you so careless?"

Xia Shi stood up and was about to explode, Meng Yan hugged her and said, "Mother, calm down, calm down."

Xia said angrily: "The innocence of a girl's family is more important than life. Ah Nai kindly rescued you and came back. If people knew that she would not be able to tell, now you can say such a thing for a little money!"
