As the night deepened, Zhou Ruiyuan gradually felt sleepy. He held the edge of the table with both hands, straightened his waist, and got on the bed with his legs that could not move. Although his legs were disabled, he had a good waist. He could get in and out of bed by himself on weekdays. If he took off his clothes, you could still see his strong abdominal muscles, which was completely different from his weakness in front of outsiders. After Zhou Ruiyuan got on the bed, he sat against the wall, tilted his head and quietly looked at the sleeping Du Wanchun. His deep eyes unconsciously showed a lot of tenderness. The person in front of him was like a rare treasure that suddenly broke into the room, illuminating the whole room, but so bright that people dared not approach. He watched for a long time, and Du Wanchun suddenly turned over, the quilt on her body was kicked off, revealing a small thin arm.

Zhou Ruiyuan watched with pity on his face, he bent down and lifted the quilt to cover her carefully.

The candlelight flickered, the small window, the dilapidated wooden bed, the bright red quilt, the breathing sound of the girl sleeping slowly, the originally dim and cold hut became inexplicably warm.

Zhou Ruiyuan lay in the quilt with his clothes and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

The next morning.

The Zhou family was awakened by the scolding of Jiang next door.

When Du Wanchun woke up, she found that Zhou Ruiyuan was no longer in the house. She got dressed and got out of bed, only to see Aunt Zhou with Zhou Zhao and Zhou Feng watching the show at the door.

"Mom, what happened to my aunt's house?" Du Wanchun looked in the direction of the next door.

Aunt Zhou said with a smile on her face, "Jiang Qiuju next door, the chickens in the backyard were bitten to death by weasels yesterday afternoon. When she woke up this morning, she found that the piglet she just bought had run away."

Jiang stood at the gate of the yard, pointing at Chen Tieniu and scolding, "I told you to lock the pigpen, but you didn't listen. Look, the piglet ran away. What meat will we eat this year!"

The Chen family would buy a piglet every year, and when the New Year came, they would kill the pig for the New Year and eat bacon.

Every time Jiang killed a pig, she would bring a basin of leftover pig bones to the door of the Zhou family to humiliate them.

After a long time, the bones would stink in the ground, and Aunt Zhou would have to take her sons to remove the bones.

The Jiang family's piglet was lost, and they might not be able to kill the New Year pig this year. It would cost a lot of money to buy a piglet.

Aunt Zhou felt relieved, and turned to the kitchen to call the children to eat breakfast, "Wanchun, mother made steamed duck eggs, you try it."

Du Wanchun looked back and saw a bowl of yellow and soft steamed eggs. She hadn't eaten such food for several years.

Aunt Zhou put the bowl on the table with a smile on her face, "Last night, the two skinny ducks laid several duck eggs again, not only enough to eat, but also to sell."

As she said, she took out twenty copper coins from her pocket and continued, "It's also good luck. Just now when I went to the Hu family in the west of the village to borrow rice, their daughter-in-law was pregnant with fetal toxins and wanted to eat duck eggs to reduce internal heat. I sold all the remaining duck eggs in my family to them, and got these copper coins, and then his family gave us a bowl of rice."

Rice, eggs and copper coins are a great joy for the Zhou family, who are so poor that they can't even open the pot.

Du Wanchun became happy, picked up the bowl and ate the eggs in it.

The whole duck egg melts in the mouth. Although no salt is added, it still has a light salty fragrance.

Zhou Zhao and Zhou Feng also came over to eat breakfast. They respected their sister-in-law very much and gave her everything. They dared to eat only after she ate first.

At this time, Zhou Ruiyuan came back and pushed the chair in his hand slowly towards the table.

After seeing this, Zhou Zhao hurried forward to help push the chair and asked: "Brother, why did you come out?"

Zhou Ruiyuan took out a few roasted sweet potatoes in his arms and said: "The sweet potatoes sent by my third aunt a few days ago, I took them to roast."

Du Wanchun smelled the fragrance and hurriedly looked at the roasted sweet potatoes in his hand. She was very surprised. The big sweet potatoes roasted in the farmhouse were delicious.

Zhou Ruiyuan gave one to Zhou Feng and Zhou Zhao, and then picked the one with the best appearance and patiently peeled the skin that was still steaming.

His hands are very nice, not as rough as a farmer's, white and slender, but not effeminate at all, and his broad palms are full of strength.

Du Wanchun quietly watched him peel sweet potatoes, and was a little dazed for a while.

After a while, Zhou Ruiyuan handed her the peeled sweet potatoes, "Here."

"Thank you, husband." Du Wanchun took the sweet potato and found it was a little hot. She looked at Zhou Ruiyuan again and found that his fingertips

Slightly red.

She was a little surprised, and didn't know how Zhou Ruiyuan endured the heat and pretended to be nonchalant while peeling the sweet potato.

She bit into the sweet potato, which was soft and sticky, sweeter than anything she had ever eaten.

After breakfast, Aunt Zhou took Zhou Zhao and Du Wanchun to the Chen family to ask for land.

Zhou Feng and Zhou Ruiyuan wanted to go with them, but they couldn't resist Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun, so they had to stay at home first.

Zhou Zhao has been much smarter since his ears got better, and he is tall, so he is also good at going out.

When Jiang saw the Zhou family coming, she was also very angry. She put her hands on her waist and scolded them arrogantly: "Chen Yue'e, what are you doing here?! Do you want to see our family's joke?!"

Aunt Zhou was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, and said bluntly: "Jiang Qiuju, your family has occupied our land for two years, it's time to give it back to us."
