    While several people were talking, Aunt Liu came back.  She went back first, carrying firewood back just as a way to talk to Jiang Dashan, and to ask everyone to tidy up the house and boil some hot tea.  When this family comes over, they have to stay with their family for a night or two before they can clean out the empty house and move it there.

    "You should know how to ride a horse, right?" Dalang asked.

    "Yes." Mr. Xie nodded.

    Aunt Liu took Xinhu and Dalang to ride a horse. Mrs. Xie was not very good at riding a horse, so her son accompanied her on the horse.  Sister-in-law Xie Shuer and her children rode a horse together.  The remaining two people have exactly one horse each.  All the burden was thrown on Xie San and Xie Wu.

    Everyone was quiet along the way and concentrated on their way.  However, Dalang was still more cautious and rode his horse in circles. Anyway, there were reed forests all around, and they all looked the same.

    By the time they got home, it was getting late and the moon was already in the sky.  Under the moonlight, the entire village appeared quietly in front of you.

    "Your village is just that small, with a total of three households?" Mr. Xie asked, his eyes widening.

    "Well, that's why I don't dare to bring you back casually. Your family is better than our whole village." Dalang glanced at him for a few times and said expressionlessly.

    Mr. Xie smiled sheepishly and said, "Don't worry, I will never harm you. Even if you don't force me to swear a poisonous oath, I'm not such a bad person."

    Ping'er and Xiao Shitou each cooked vegetable porridge at home. Both families had enough food and were waiting for them to come back. The younger child couldn't bear it anymore and went to sleep first.  Jiang Dashan had no choice but to move to the room where Xinhu and the others slept, and squeezed in with a roomful of children.  The vacated room was given to Mr. Xie and his two servants to make do with.  Xiao Shitou's family originally had an empty room, but now it also has a heated kang, which can allow the three women and children of the Xie family to rest.

    Ping'er was still boiling hot water and cooking porridge on the stove.

    As soon as the Xie family entered the house, they went to Dalang's house first and drank hot porridge.  However, there was not much food at home, so it was impossible for them to eat and drink enough, so they only prepared a pot of vegetable porridge.  Each person will get one bowl.

    Seeing this, Mr. Xie brought out some hard dry biscuits. Xin Hu took them, broke them into small pieces, cut two cabbages, added a few pieces of bacon and fried the cabbage, and then put the dry biscuits on top.  , added a little water and made a pot of stuffed cakes.

    Xie¡¯s family drank hot porridge and ate a bowl of stuffed pancakes. They were in awe of Xinhu¡¯s cooking skills.  They had always cooked this dry biscuit. Sometimes, they didn't have time to cook it, so they baked it directly on the fire. It was dry and hard, and they were already tired of eating it.  Unexpectedly, after doing this in Xinhu, the taste would be particularly good.  Coupled with those fresh and tender cabbages, it whets the appetite of the Xie family.

    The Xie family¡¯s child, Atu, who is less than three years old, is in good spirits right now.  He drank the porridge, took two bites of cabbage, and then took two bites of the stuffed pancake, and he actually ate quite happily.

    At night, according to the host's arrangement, the men of the Xie family stayed at Dalang's house, and the women lived separately at Aunt Liu's house.

    The next day, Mrs. Xie got up while Sister-in-law Xie was still in a daze.  As she was older, she was naturally less sleepy and less sleepy than young people. Although the movement made by Aunt Liu when she got up was small, it still alarmed her.

    Opening her eyes, it took a moment for her to remember that her family finally had a place to stay.

    "Sister Liu, you got up early." Mrs. Xie greeted Aunt Liu first.

    "Old lady Xie, you're welcome. When you get to our place, you can rest in peace. I'm going out to fetch water." Aunt Liu was carrying a bucket and was about to go out to fetch water. She turned around and said something to old lady Xie.  sentence.

    "Oh, I'm walking around the village by myself, so you don't need to pay attention to me." Mrs. Xie said as she followed her out.

    Aunt Liu had a lot of things at home, so she really ignored her and went out to fetch water.  It takes half an hour to go back and forth.  After all, they didn't live very close to the pond. It was cold and the ground was slippery, so they had to be careful when walking.

    Old Mrs. Xie knew yesterday that there was an empty house in the village for their family to live in, but she had to clean it up herself.  At this moment, she naturally came over to take a look first.

    Because no one is taking care of the empty house, the heavy snow has already sealed the door, leaving a snowdrift more than two feet high.

    She walked around the house for a few steps. The snow behind her was thicker and she couldn't walk. Just as she was about to turn around and go back, she heard her son say: "Mom, why did you come here so early in the morning without resting?"  ?¡±

    "I've got some rest. Let's come over and take a look first. This house seems to be in good condition. You guys should clean it up today.There were no chairs left.  "

    The room was full of dust, and several people stepped on it, leaving lines of footprints.  There is really not much to see in the main room, but the roof is in good condition and the interior is also dry, which proves that although the house looks dilapidated, it is okay for people to live in it.

    Mr. Xie felt at ease and praised: "I thought it would have to be repaired before I could move in, but I didn't expect that this house was well maintained." He was also worried that this dilapidated house would leak from both wind and rain.

    The houses in this village are all the same, with the main room in the middle and bedrooms on both sides.

    Mr. Xie opened the door on the right, and everyone came in and saw that there was also a simple fire kang, which was exactly the same style as Dalang's house or Aunt Liu's.  However, the room was also empty, with nothing left.

    "Okay, stop looking, clean the room quickly, and try to burn the kang today to see if it can be used. Your family can move in tonight." Dalang spoke up, reminding everyone to work quickly.  Otherwise, we would have to squeeze in with them tonight.

    Last night, Dalang was so crowded that no one in the room could sleep well.  Not only was he squeezed, he was very depressed about sleeping on the same bed as his uncle, a grown man, not for himself, but for Xin Hu.  Although in rural areas, it is not a rule that men and women sit on different seats when they are seven years old, Xinhu is actually more than seven years old.  If he lived in a place with many people talking, Xinhu would have to be the wife of this cheap uncle for the rest of his life.  But that's his fianc¨¦e.

    ¡°Actually, Xin Hu also feels awkward. She has lived two lives and has never slept in the same bed with an adult man.  If it weren't for the fact that there were a group of children on the kang, she really wouldn't be able to sleep.  Although she is still a little girl.  If she hadn't been too tired last night, she probably wouldn't have been able to sleep at all.  Although Dalang slept in the middle, Xinhu and his uncle were well separated.  Xinhu and Dabao slept in a corner of the kang far away from his uncle who was sleeping in the other corner. They were each covered with their own quilts, but they were still on the same kang.

    Not to mention the awkwardness between Dalang and Xinhu, my uncle himself was even more embarrassed.  He is an adult, and although Xinhu is just an immature girl in his eyes, and he has always regarded her as a nephew, she is still a girl.

    Therefore, most of the people in Dalang¡¯s house didn¡¯t sleep well.  Xinhu was not the only one to get up early in the morning, Dalang also got up early, and his uncle woke up even earlier. He wished he could get up in the middle of the night, so he stayed until almost dawn, then got dressed and got off the kang.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
