Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 1

Yejia Village is a small village. There are forty or fifty families in the village. The family surnamed Ye is the most in this village, otherwise it wouldn't be called Yejia Village.The people in the village are basically related, depending on the distance.

The village faces mountains in the north, and a winding river outside the village winds its way through Yejia Village in the south.The women in the village wash vegetables and clothes, and the animals drink water from this river.

I don't know how many years ago, there is a very strong stone bridge on this small river, connecting the official road on the other side of the river.It also connects the farmlands of various families across the river.

In other villages, stone piers are used to cross the river, so Yejia Village is proud of having this stone bridge in the village.Many people from other villages

If you want to sell grain carts or anything, you have to detour to Yejia Village to cross the river.

Now is the time when I take off my cotton coat and feel cold, but if I don’t take it off, I feel hot.Ye Xiaoqiao brought a tub of dirty clothes to the river.Seeing familiar aunts and aunts, they all greeted one by one.Then I found a slate and started rubbing my clothes.

Not far downstream, a few gray ducks were swimming happily in the water, but Ye Xiaoqiao was not in the mood to look at the beautiful spring.The water in this river is really cold, although it is much better than in winter, Ye Xiaoqiao rubs his clothes for a while, then breathes the air to warm his hands.

"Xiaoqiao is a hardworking girl, she is helping the family at such a young age." Not far away, Ergou his mother said to the people together.

"Is it okay if you don't work hard? There are so many people in the family, and there is no food if you don't work." Everyone in the village knows the situation of Ye Xiaoqiao's family.
Everyone likes to gossip when they are together, and everything is said and done, otherwise there will be no entertainment.

Now is not the time for busy farming. If you don't chew your wife's tongue, you won't be a wife anymore.

As far as Ye Xiaoqiao's family is concerned, there is indeed a large population.Ye Xiaoqiao's grandfather, Ye Dahu, was the second child, and his elder brother, Ye Dalong, was also in the village. Ye Xiaoqiao would call him Grandpa when they met, but the two brothers had separated long ago, so they were not considered a family.

Ye Dahu has reached the age of marriage. At that time, the family was fine. He married a daughter-in-law, and then gave birth to Ye Xiaoqiao's uncle Ye Yong. However, during childbirth, the labor was difficult and the child was born, but the wife collapsed to death. .

Leaving a nanny behind, it is really outrageous for such a big man to bring a child, so Ye Dahu left the child to his parents, went out to work, made money, and married another daughter-in-law, Ye Xiaoqiao's Kiss grandma.

This grandma actually gave birth to two daughters and two sons, Ye Xiaoqiao's eldest aunt and second aunt, Ye Xiaoqiao's father, and Ye Xiaoqiao's third uncle.Among them, Ergu and Ye Xiaoqiao's fathers are dragon and phoenix twins.

I thought I could live my whole life now, but Ye Xiaoqiao's grandma was hardworking and willing to work. She and Ye Dahu went up to the mountain to cut and release trees, but a tree that was about to fall smashed her down, so she couldn't do it at that time.

Now Zi Ye Dahu became a widower again, dragging several children with him.The two wives are gone, and some people say that Ye Dahu ordered his wife to be hardened, and it would be impossible to find a big girl named Huanghua. Fortunately, when he was living with his second wife, he saved money to build five spacious houses, and someone was a matchmaker. So I married a widow from a neighboring village. Anyway, one is Kefu and the other is Kewife. No one dislikes the other.

This is Ye Xiaoqiao's current grandma.When this grandma came over, she brought a son with her, and then she gave birth to a son and a daughter. Do the math, how many children should there be?Five boys, three girls, eight children, can it be too many?
It is said that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. When the grandma Ye Xiaoqiao came here, she was very kind to the two children in front of her because she lacked confidence and did not have children. Everyone thought she was a virtuous person. People, she gave birth to a son in the first child, and now the waist is worth it. Ye Xiaoqiao's grandfather felt that he was a big man with five children, and he owed his current wife a little, so there were many things. They all followed her. After a long time, she just said that she was the same and became the real hostess.

Why is Ye Xiaoqiao's name called this?Wasn't it because her mother, Hu Shi, was still working in the fields when she was about to give birth to her, and when she passed the stone bridge, she had a seizure, and later she went back and gave birth to Ye Xiaoqiao, so she was named this.

Ye Xiaoqiao's father is the second child, his name is Ye Zhu, and he and Ye Xiaoqiao's second aunt are dragon and phoenix twins.Now he is married to his wife, Wu, and has two sons and two daughters, among which the second son and the eldest daughter are also twins. This inheritance is really strong!The little girl is naturally Ye Xiaoqiao herself.

Now their family of six lives in the West Wing.Well, except for the five bright main rooms, the large population couldn’t live there, so Ye Dahu built side rooms on the east and west sides, but they were not as good as the main rooms, they were all made of straw mixed with mud and made of adobe. There are four rooms in one wing, and Ye Xiaoqiao's family lives with her third uncle's family, and the family has two rooms.

Fortunately, one room can be divided into two rooms, so Xiaoqiao and his parents live in the same room. She and her sister live in the other room, and her two brothers live outside.

If there is another child, it is estimated that they can only sleep with their parents.Alas, without family planning, the population would grow so fast.

In Ye Dahu's family, Ye Xiaoqiao's uncle, her father, third uncle, and Tan Niu, the son brought by the current grandmother Guo, who is two years older than her third uncle, are married. She is one year younger than her father, and the fourth uncle and sister-in-law of Guo and Ye Dahu are still single young people. Originally, Guo wanted to change Tan Niu's surname and become a member of the Ye family, but they were rejected by the Ye family and the Tan family. Bian was messed up and seriously disagreed, so he was still called Tan Niu, otherwise the third uncle would only be the fourth uncle.

Mrs. Guo doesn't know how to cook at home now, so what is the purpose of marrying a daughter-in-law?Of course, it is used to serve her mother-in-law. The Guo family has Ye Dahu to give way and dote on her, so the status is as high as she wants.

Women in ancient times knew that a daughter-in-law should be filial, and she must obey it on the surface, otherwise what would she do if she was drowned by spit?
So they cook with two daughters-in-law every day, and the two daughters-in-law go to the mountains to work in the fields.

Today is the turn of Ye Xiaoqiao's auntie and Ye Xiaoqiao's mother Wu to cook, and I have saved up some clothes and so on, so I have to wash them.

And the aunt’s daughter, Xiaomi, is still young, and she is afraid of danger when she goes to the river. Xiaoqiao’s sister, Xiaofeng, went to the landlord Zhang’s house outside the village to help her and get married. She can earn ten yuan a day, so she set off early. The Guo family is naturally eager for this. After all, there are too few places where the family can make money. Xiaofeng can get some money back every day, which is much better than eating for nothing.

Anyway, Mrs. Guo thinks that if she doesn't go out to make money, she will eat for nothing. For Xiaoqiao, even if you do laundry, she also thinks it should be done. If you don't work and want to eat, there is no door!

Let's talk about Ye Xiaoqiao, even though he came here by accident, he realized that he really has nothing to show for it, and because he is still young, there is no sign of greatness at all.

It's really a pain to not have enough food and clothing for the past few years!

The family's money is in the hands of Mrs. Guo. Of course, there must be someone saving private money, but it's just a question of how much.Like Xiaoqiao's older sister, Xiaofeng, she is a bit smart, she went out to work for the landlord, and she was originally paid [-] cents, but she didn't know what the person who helped them find a job said, it was so frustrating. What Guo Shi said was ten coins a day, so two coins became her private money.Ye Xiaoqiao really admired her.Who said the ancients were not wise?It's a good job for my sister to be able to hide private money under Guo's high-pressure policy!
