Chapter 3: CH 3

Before long, Wang Chunhua returned and brought back a fish from the pond. In the Wei Family, there are a total of eight members. Wei Jianwei's father went to another brigade to repair the roof. He did not come back for dinner at noon. 

Wei's eldest son accompanied his wife to visit her natal family. Wei Jianwei is the second child and had just returned from the army. The third child is also a son, he was in a high school commune and only went home on weekdays. 

For lunch, they made sweet potato rice. It was made by crushing the potato into puree and mixing it with rice with a spatula. It tasted sweet and was still hot. Thanks to Jianwei's arrival, there is a fish soup on today's menu, there's also potato cabbage stew, and the pickles left in the breakfast. 

After dinner, a few women from the brigade came to visit. Wang Chunhua grabbed two handfuls of orange candies and several handfuls of dried peanuts, putting them on a tray to serve it to the guests. 

This is also a local custom: When someone comes back from another place, whether they are soldiers, part-timers, or businessmen, the neighbors will come begging for sweets. 

There was a burst of laughter coming in from outside while He Xiaoyun was washing the dishes in the kitchen. She didn't want to go out after washing, for fear the women outside will make fun of her and Wei Jianwei. 

She walked from the back door of the kitchen to the backyard. The yard behind is not big. It was next to a bamboo forest and planted persimmon trees. It was a season of lush foliage. There's also a pig pen and chicken coop.

The commune allows up to three chickens and two pigs to be raised privately. The three little hens of the Wei Family were looking for food in the bamboo forest. By the end of the year, one chicken will be handed over to the public to complete the purchase task. It can be considered to be a tax payment. One will be slaughtered at home to eat and the last one will be sold to the small market to change from some daily necessities. 

On the pigpen, there's only one pig. Most people can't afford to raise two because just feeding one pig is a big problem already. If it was fattened enough, they can't slaughter it privately. They need to take it to the food station. After the pig was slaughtered, the public will buy half and the other half goes to the family. Raising a pig is equivalent to not making money, but the states reward clothe tickets which many people go for. 

He Xiaoyun swept the backyard and passed the time idly. It's estimated that all the people who came to the door are now in the front yard. We Jianwei had already finished the wooden box and grabbed a few insect eggs. Wei Yuanhang happily ran out with the box to show it to Yanyan. 

Wang Chunhua blamed her son: "You had many tricks. Such a good wood was wasted on some box. Can the insects be raised for eating or wearing?"

He Xiaoyun bit her tongue, too embarrassed to say that it was her idea. She quickly picks up a basket and went to Wang Chunhua to say that she will go to the mountains and fortunately escaped happily. 

Seeing her going out, Wang Chunhua glanced at her silent son and can't help but murmur: "You and Xiaoyun. It's not good. You two keep ignoring each other. Others will joke about this and if Xiaoyang hears about this, he's going to be sad. I think her temper has changed a lot recently, she became more diligent. If she thinks well, we should be glad..."

As she spoke, she sighed. It was true that this second daughter-in-law is so aggressive that she can't believe her changes. She(WC) was afraid that she would suddenly start acting up again in a few days or something else. 

He Xiaoyun strolled in the mountain. On the way, she picked up a handful of fern, a few clumps of mountain fungi and her harvest is not bad. After going down the mountain and before returning home, She saw Wei Yuanhang playing outside the house. There were puddles on the ground. The boy jumped to the shallow pits and splashed his clothes with water and mud. 

In the past, He Xiaoyun didn't understand why mothers always yelled at their children whenever they play, but now she deeply understood them, It's now clear. It's because the clothes that looked like it was rolled into a pigsty was going to be washed by her!

"Wei Yuanhang!"

The child who was happily playing raised his head. Upon seeing her, he happily jumps into few more pits while making his way to her, "Mom is back!"

He didn't realize that he's in deep trouble and continue to walk around He Xiaoyun liked a little chicken. "Mon, where have you been? Mom, what are you carrying? Is it delicious?"

He Xiaoyun glared at him but didn't scold him, "Who told you it was fine to play with mud? Are you a little piggy? Your clothes yesterday haven't dried up yet, now what you wear today depends or you simply be naked." 

Wei Yuanhang immediately covered his little bird. (T/N: You know what I mean~) and shook his little head, "I don't want to be naked."

He Xiaoyun took his hand and hummed, "What's the use of covering your little bird? Your butt will still be seen."

"I don't want to be naked!" Wei Yuanhang believed her words and pouted his little mouth. After entering the house, Wei Jianwei can be seen weaving bamboo baskets in the yard. The ones in the family are already old. Wang Chunhua asked him to make two more because his craftmanship was better than his father and brothers.

When Wei Yuanhang saw his father, he felt wrong and leaned in to complain, "Dad, mom wants me to go out naked."

When He Xiaoyun saw this, she felt that this chubby boy had no conscience at all. She suddenly doesn't want to do his laundry and sleep with him at night. Although she hadn't possessed this body for too long, she's still better than Wei Jianwei who only just returned, right?

It's only the first day since the man came back, and the boy's heart immediately turned to his father. Where is her status in his heart?!

Wei Jianwei stopped what he is doing and stared at his son before glancing at He Xiaoyun. Thinking that she was like before, hitting and scolding the child, he then asked, "What's wrong?"

He Xiaoyun is sour in her heart, and seeing the man glancing at her, she became annoyed at his question. The guilty conscience she have for the original's owner's doings vanished. She stared at him and said: "Look at him. His body is muddy while playing with the puddles outside. Aren't you home?  Why haven't you seen it?"

Hearing this, Wei Jianwei looked at Wang Yuanhang again, and indeed, his clothes are dirty. He was immersed in weaving baskets and didn't pay attention to the child playing outside. Now facing He Xiaoyun's accusation, he has nothing to say.

Seeing him surrender, He Xiaoyun straightened her waist, "Wei Yuanhang, come here." 

Wei Yuanhang glanced at her and then turned to glance at his silent father. His little head finally realized that her mother ranked above his father, so he can't turn for help with his father, because his father will also be scolded.

It was already evening, He Xiaoyun boiled the water to washed the child. Xiaoyuan took his clothes off, and the little white body trembled in cold. 

While washing the child, He Xioayun carefully asked, "Boy, tell me honestly. Who do you like most? Me or your Dad?" 

Learning from the previous lesson, Wei Yuanhang immediately yelled mom. "I like my mother the most!"

"Hmph. Naughty monkey." She finally felt soothed in her heart. 

The few people who went out came back and had a lively meal. After that, the men gathered to repair tools and chat. The women folk cleaned and chattered. After that, they went back to their rooms when the sky darkened. 

Wei Yuanhang wanted to carry his wooden box to bed but He Xiaoyun resolutely forbids it. He had no choice but to put it on the table and observe it there. 

The clothes washed in the morning were all dried, He Xiaoyun pull them out, folded them, and put them in the cabinets. There is almost no entertainment here at night so she can only talk to the chubby boy and answer all his endless why's.

When He Xiaoyun entered the bedroom with Wei Jianwei, she realized a serious problem: 'Will he sleep with her at night?!'

Looking at the single bed in the room, He-single-Xiaoyun-dog panicked. Fortunately, Wei Jianwei didn't come to sleep but to take a change in clothes and went out again. But she knew he would definitely come later. 

At this moment, her mind turned fast and her heart throbbed. To be honest, except for the little boy Wei Yuanhang, she didn't lay with the opposite sex in the bed before. 

Wait! There's still this chubby boy! He Xiaoyun immediately focused on Wei Yuanhang. The kid had a troublesome sleeping posture, he would kick the quilt six or seven times every night. Last night, she looked at him with disdain. Tonight, she looked at him like a life-saving straw.

"Xioahang, come here and sleep." While Wei Jianwei was still out, He Xiaoyun planned to let the chubby boy sleep as soon as possible. 

"Wait a minute." The boy murmured while talking to the eggs. 

He Xiaoyun rushed out of the door to urge the child, "Come sleep, or I will snatch your quilt."

"No. No! Mom can't snatch my quilts!" Wei Yuanhang quickly leave the wooden box and rushed over his beloved quilts. The quilts had been with Wei Yuanhang since he was a baby. He just held it every night. 

Succeding on her plan, He Xiaoyun carried the child to bed, took off his coat, and tucked him to the bed. She laid beside him and had her heart on her throat. 

With Wei Yuanhang at her side, her sense of security rose a lot, but she still can't help but think about things. The man would not intentionally step on her, right? Would he snore when he sleeps? If she farted, can she push the blame to Xiaoyuan? 

The child beside her falls asleep in a short time while her mind is still active like a horse running wild. 

Wei Jianwei finally walked in. He Xiaoyun laid motionless but was always watching his movements. She watched him swept the floor and proceeded to take out a straw mat, then spread it on the floor, he also took a thin quilt out of the cabinets. 

He turned off the lights and comfortably sleep in. 

He Xiaoyun: "..." Worried for nothing!
