In the two classes in the afternoon, Hu Mingchen almost kept thinking about how to raise capital and how to do business.

As soon as the bell rang after school, Hu Mingchen threw his schoolbag on his shoulder, said hello to his friends, and ran out of the classroom first.

Hu Mingchen was in such a hurry, where was he going in a hurry? No one could have imagined that this guy was actually in a hurry to go home to feed the pigs.

If it was in the past, Hu Mingchen would wait for everything in the house to be done and almost ready to eat, and then he would go home. The busier the family, the later he will go back, the purpose is naturally to be lazy.

Hu Mingchen didn't forget to find some reasons for himself, either cleaning or the teacher staying to do homework. In fact, he is all playing with his friends, which makes it difficult for you to find it.

Every time Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao complained, they couldn't stand the favoritism and protection of their mother Jiang Yucai and father Hu Jianjun.

That day, Hu Mingchen would go to hunt pigweed and fall down at Shanshuyan, but he was blocked at the school gate by his sister Hu Yandie one step in advance. If it weren't for being blocked, he really couldn't run away, so Hu Mingchen wouldn't have taken the initiative to go to Shanshuyan to cut pigweed.

Now Hu Mingchen will be so proactive, not only because he is reborn, but also because he has his own purpose.

When he got home in one breath, Hu Mingchen didn't have time to rest, so he hurriedly lit a fire, put a pot of water on the fire, put a basket on his back, picked up a sickle and went out to cut pigweed.

Seriously, I haven't done these things for many years, and Hu Mingchen is really a little uncomfortable for a while.

But after all, I have lived in the countryside since I was a child, and I will slowly become familiar with this kind of thing after getting used to it.

When Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao returned home with Hu Dehua's brothers and sisters, Hu Mingchen had already cut the pigweed and came back, and was putting down the pot to cook.

"Why did you come back so early?" Seeing her brother's behavior, her sister Hu Yandie was surprised again.

"Aren't you usually lazy to come back as late as you want, today you ...... Did you cut the pigweed?" Hu Yujiao was a little unconvinced of her eyes.

"Why can't I come back so early, I'll tell you, I'm not what I used to be, don't doubt it, it's not me, will these pigweed still grow their feet and run to our house? Hu Mingchen said to his sister while pouring the chopped pigweed into the big iron pot.

There is no electricity in Huangni Village, and whether you use kerosene lamps or candles to illuminate your homework at night, it hurts your eyes.

"We do our homework, and I'll leave it to you, so don't you have to do your homework?" asked Hu Yandie in disbelief.

"Well, my homework is done at school, you guys hurry up and do yours, I'll cook the pigweed and go to carry water and dig yellow mud. Hu Mingchen threw down the dustpan and reached out to carry the bucket and the pole.

Since Huangni Village has not yet been electrified, let alone any running water. The draught of their house was to be brought up from the well in the field below.

As for the yellow mud, it is used to mix with the coal surface to produce a sticky burn, and the wet coal mixed with the yellow mud should be used to cover the fire at night, otherwise the fire will be completely extinguished the next morning.

The general yellow mud is not good, Hu Mingchen's household yellow mud has to be dug on the ridge above the cedar rock, where the yellow mud is difficult to dig, not soft, but very sticky, and mixed with coal is very resistant to burning.

"Have you really finished your homework? Are you really leaving all these things to you, and you don't need us to help you share them?" asked Hu Yandie very skeptically.

"No, no, don't worry, I won't tell lies. After saying that, Hu Mingchen didn't say a word, picked up the bucket and went out.

Nine-year-old Hu Mingchen is not in good health, and he can't bear a load of water, but half of it, barely has any problems. If you can't do it again, you can just do it less at a time, and run it twice more.

"Sister, what's wrong with Xiao Chen? Looking at Hu Mingchen's back, Hu Yujiao muttered with laughter.

"Yes, he does look very different from the past two days, and he came back to do things as soon as he came back from school, which he couldn't understand. Hu Yandie scratched her head and thought.

"Sister, he won't have any conspiracies, will he? Do you know that you have money on you and please us, and hope that we will buy him something to eat every day?" Hu Yujiao guessed from her own point of view.

Hu Mingchen was indeed for Hu Yandie's money, but not for anything to buy and eat.

"Whatever his purpose, let's see. You go and come out with a stool, hurry up and do your homework, I'll go and pick up some rice to soak and cook for a while. Hu Yandie shook her head slightly and arranged.

If she can do things, of course Hu Yujiao is happy, even if she doesn't like to study very much, she still chooses to move a stool out to do her homework at this time.

Hu Mingchen carried two loads of water in a row, making him sweat profusely.

Seeing that his younger brother was working so hard, and he couldn't bear to be an older sister, Hu Yandie was going to take him next and let him rest.

"Sister, it's okay, my parents are not at home, I am the only man in the family, leave these rough jobs to me, I can still hold on, you hurry up and get busy with yours, it's still dawn, you hurry up and do your homework, and you can save candles or kerosene at night." Hu Mingchen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a happy smile.

"You see you're tired like this, take a breath, I'll come. ”

"It's okay, don't worry, I'll take two trips and then take a break, go and go, you go and do yours." Hu Mingchen didn't give up his burden to his sister, and stubbornly went to work again.

Looking at her younger brother's sweaty figure, Hu Yandie was happy that he was no longer lazy and slippery, but at the same time, she was a little sad and moved.

"Xiao Chen, why are you carrying water, what about your sister and Yujiao?" The third time, Hu Mingchen met Zhong Ying, who also came to carry water, at the wellhead.

"Grandma, my sister is doing her homework. ”

"The female doll's house, if you don't have a job, you actually let you do it alone, like what. Female dolls, it's okay to read some books and read Braille, it seems that I have to criticize them when I have time. Zhong Ying was already patriarchal, and when she heard Hu Mingchen say this, she was not happy.

"Grandma, no, they still have to cook. No one does the work, my homework is done, and it's nothing to do. In today's society, men and women are the same, and reading more books is good for everyone. "If Hu Mingchen would have been happy that his grandmother was so partial to him before he was reborn, now, his realm would not be so narrow.

"How can it be the same, it's different, the female doll will marry out sooner or later, that is, someone else's family, now reading is to help other people's families read, the male doll is different, 10,000 years is also the Hu family. "Zhong Ying's old thinking is a little ingrained.

"Grandma, it's all one family, how can there be any other family or another, 10,000 years is also my sister and my sister, there is no difference. Hu Mingchen said while fetching water.

"Nonsense, your parents are not at home, their two little hooves are bullying you like this, I will scold them when I go back. "Zhong Ying is not so easy to be moved by words and change his mind.

"Don't, grandma, you must not ...... If you scold them, you'll hurt me. "Hu Mingchen is pursuing performance, if his sister and sister are scolded by his grandmother because of his own work, wouldn't it backfire?

"I scolded them for helping you, how could it be harming you? ”

"This ...... Grandma, do you think, my parents are not at home, if you stand up for me and scold the two of them, will they still give me a good look? They still don't deal with me when you are away, so if you scold them, it will be tantamount to harming me in disguise, and if you can't get enough food, you won't give me food. "Hu Mingchen's brain is already smart, but he didn't use it on the right path when he was a child, and he thought of an excuse to help defend in a short time.

"They dare, and if they do, I won't break their legs. If you don't have something to eat, you can eat it at your grandmother's house. Your family won't have decent two dishes anyway, and grandma's house won't be bad, just good. Zhong Ying patted his thigh and said.

Hu Mingchen was really speechless.

He was supposed to help defend himself, but it turned out that things went in the opposite direction, which made him feel good.

"Grandma, I just said it casually, it's impossible, my sister is good to me, I don't have to say it, you can rest assured! Okay grandma, you're busy, I'll go back. Hu Mingchen had already made water, and after speaking, he took it up and hurried back.

Although her grandmother is partial to herself, Hu Mingchen does not approve of and supports her old man's love.

There are some things that cannot be explained to her now, and to change her ideology, we have to rely on the progress and development of the family and the whole society in the future.

Hu Mingchen took the water, dug up the yellow mud again, and the pig food was cooked, and correspondingly, Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao's homework was also completed.

Hu Mingchen beat the pig food with a pig food bucket and wrung it to feed the pigs, and let the fire cook for his sister.

"Sister, my brother is so diligent, I don't have anything to do. It would be nice if he was so diligent in the future. Hu Yujiao stood next to Hu Yandie and said happily.

"I also hope that he will not be so lazy in the future, but we should also help do what we should do, you don't stand stupidly, go, help me pick up two firewood, this fire is too small, don't hurry up, I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat when it's dark." "Hu Yandie deserves to be a sister, and she still has to be thoughtful about the problem.

Just like Zhong Ying said, Hu Mingchen's family is indeed simple to eat, and Jiang Yucai and Hu Jianjun will not eat much well at home, not to mention that they only have three children now.

Hu Yandie made a vegetarian vegetable soup and fried a dried beans, and the three sisters and brothers dealt with it like this.

After eating, Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao went to her sister-in-law's house to play with Hu Xiaomin, and Hu Mingchen took out today's book to do homework and review at this time.
