"Who is it?"
A female voice sounded, with a hint of timidity.
"Sister-in-law Azhong, it's me, Lin Zhi."
"Oh my god, the lady is back."
The sounds coming out of the yard were filled with joy and excitement, a jumble of footsteps sounded, and the door suddenly opened.
Inside the door, a middle-aged man and woman stood together, their eyes full of hope.
Their clothes were old but very clean.
The woman spoke first, with tears in her eyes: "Miss, you are back.
You don't know how much I have missed you over the years."
Lin Zhi smiled faintly: "Sister-in-law Azhong, I have wronged you and brother Azhong these years."
"Oh my gosh, Sister Jing is here too.
What do you say?
Ah Zhong, hurry up and kill the hen that lays eggs.
Let's eat the chicken stewed with mushrooms."
Seeing Jing Xiaotian, Mrs.
Azhong suddenly seemed at a loss and quickly ordered her men to prepare food to entertain the eldest lady of the Jing family.
Jing Xiaotian rarely received such enthusiasm and respect.
He lowered his head shyly, but felt happy in his heart.
I thought to myself: "This Sister-in-law A-Zhong is really a good person.
I should find an opportunity to repay her."
"Sister-in-law A-Zhong, don't be busy.
Just eat something simple if you have something at home.
Sister Jing has had a hard day today and is very tired.
She wants to go to bed early."
Lin Zhi hurriedly stopped her and said, she knew very well that the Azhong couple had been plotted to their core by Mrs.
Jing in the past few years.
It was natural that they would be very miserable after the day, and there would be nothing to entertain them.
However, she didn't have much money on her now, and she was embarrassed.
Jin Hexi had already handed a piece of silver to Lin Zhong's hand, and said: "It's better to keep the chickens at home to lay eggs.
It's too late now.
You can do it tomorrow."
Take this and go to the market to buy some food."
Lin Zhi wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say it.
She really needed the money.
She glanced at Jing Xiaotian, sighed inaudibly, and said shamelessly: "Ah Zhong, just accept it first.
Thank you, Master Jin.
Let's go."
It’s been so long, please invite Master Jin to come in and have a sip of tea.”
Jing Xiaotian also lowered his head.
It was really not a good feeling to accept charity from others, but he did not have the ability to refuse.
This is what the saying goes, when people are poor and have short ambitions.
Jin Hexi didn't notice the psychological changes of the Jing family's mother and daughter.
He only regretted that he had spent too much on shopping today and had too little money left to spend more.
Hearing Lin Zhi's invitation, he felt very happy and hurriedly stepped into the courtyard.
The yard was very clean, but it couldn't conceal its old and dilapidated appearance.

It was in disrepair and every corner seemed to be waiting for money to be repaired.
Lin Zhi looked at the home where she grew up, with tears in her eyes.
She suddenly felt that she was so helpless, powerless, and incompetent.
Seeing her mother's sad face, Jing Xiaotian felt unbearable pain in her heart as if she had been scratched by a cat.
She rolled her eyes, looked at Sister-in-law A-Zhong, and suddenly said: "Mother-in-law A-Zhong, do you know where I can get the embroidery?"
My mother's embroidery is very beautiful.
Look, the clothes on my body and the shoes on my feet are all made by my mother.
The flowers, birds, and mountains and rivers she embroidered are all very beautiful.
Others like them very much when they see them. , I want to buy it.”
Sister-in-law Lin Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a smile: "Sister Jing, you don't dare to call me that.
It's fine if you call me from the Lin Zhong family.
However, what Sister Jing said is true, our young lady, The needlework on her hand is well-known in Baili District.
I think how many brides were begging for her embroidery back then."
Jing Xiaotian's words were like a ray of morning light, illuminating Lin Zhi's desperate heart, and like a beacon, pointing out the direction for Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi also had a smile on her face.
She had been crying for many years.
This smile actually made Jing Xiaotian feel amazing.
"Sister-in-law Azhong, please stop saying that.
Brother Azhong grew up in our house, and my father has always treated him as his son.
Tian'er should respect you as his elders."
At this point, Lin Zhi suddenly changed the subject and said : "Ah, what are you cooking?
It's so fragrant."
In front of Jin Hexi, Lin Zhi didn't want to discuss the family's livelihood issues, so she changed the topic.
However, she had already made plans in her heart, and a fire of hope was vaguely ignited in her heart.
Only then did she really feel that leaving Jingjia is the right choice.
There, her happiness was stifled, her courage wasted, her talents were buried, and she turned into a depressed and resentful woman who was bullied.
Now, she wants to start her life again.
Jin Hexi was also a little hungry, but after hearing what Lin Zhi said, he also sniffed.
Sure enough, a strong aroma came to my nose, with the smell of meat and milk.
Jin Hexi was very reserved, but couldn't help but swallow quietly.
Sister-in-law A Zhong, who was always good at observing words and expressions, immediately followed Lin Zhi's words and said: "In the afternoon, my mother's brother sent some milk dregs.
Now they are cooked just right.
We will start dinner right now."
Lin Zhi turned to look at Jin Hexi and said, "Master Jin, if you don't mind, let's eat some together."
Jin Hexi did not give in, but agreed generously: "Okay."
In fact, he didn't know what milk dregs was, but the smell was really tempting.
The food was quickly set out, including corn dregs porridge, cornmeal dumplings, salted mustard shreds, and a plate of fatty and fragrant meat with shredded ginger and garlic sauce.
Jing Xiaotian has been hungry for a long time, but she has not had enough to eat in the Jing family all year round, so she is very capable of enduring hunger, so she can bear it very well.
Now that he saw the food, and without the supervision of so many pairs of eyes from the Jing family, he couldn't care less and started to eat hungrily.
She had never eaten this milk dregs before, but she felt that after entering the mouth, it was rich, tender, smooth, and chewy.
When dipped in garlic and vinegar sauce, it was truly the most beautiful thing in the world.
In the blink of an eye, a bowl of porridge was eaten, and Mrs.
Azhong quickly handed over another bowl.
Seeing how delicious Jing Xiaotian's food was, Jin and Xi ate without restraint.
It seemed that this simple farm food was more palatable and delicious than their delicacies.

After a while, Jin Hexi was full.
By the time Azhong and Azhong's wife were eating, there was nothing left.
Azhong's wife couldn't help but whisper: "The rice is delicious across the pot."
I was secretly glad in my heart, thanks to my mother-in-law’s brother’s donation of some food.
Otherwise, I would have been able to drink only some clear porridge with people visible today.
In the middle of winter, it gets dark early.
After Jin Hexi had eaten and drank, he hurried to go home.
Lin Zhi couldn't persuade him to stay, so he took Jing Xiaotian with him and politely sent him out of the door
