Chapter 9: The Second Mission

After Cheng Xiangju listened to Su Hehua's words, she was angry for a while and brought Lin Su back. After returning home, Cheng Xiangju had some headaches again.

Looking at Lin Su standing there with a nervous expression, Cheng Xiangju thought for a while and said, "In a while, I will come to your house and bring some of your commonly used things." During the time your father doesn't come back, you can stay here for the time being. Moreover, your uncle's house is not enough, and you can only live in one room with me during this time.

Also, during this time at home, be diligent with your hands and feet, and don't let people find faults. If you make any mistakes, even if you say the flowers, I'll drive you home, do you hear?"

Hearing Cheng Xiangju's words, Lin Su nodded obediently and said, "Milk! I know, don't worry, I will definitely be obedient during this time." ”

That night, when Lin Su's uncle and aunt came back, they found that there was an extra child in the house. Although Lin Su and her eldest uncle were a little unhappy in their hearts, because Cheng Xiangju had always been in the family, she had always been a good one. Lin Su, her eldest aunt, still didn't say anything.

Fortunately, when Lin Su came over, he brought his luggage and food by himself. The so-called living here, they are just providing her with a place to live.

And Lin Su, as she promised, obediently picked up the basket early in the morning of the second day and went to the mountains to hunt pigweed.

After Cheng Xiangju finished cleaning up the house, Lin Su had already carried the pigweed back.

Looking at Lin Su, who came back with a small basket of pigweed, Cheng Xiangju was more satisfied with this granddaughter.

Sensible, obedient, and can look at people's faces. In this comparison, Lin Subthan the other children in the family are even more likable.

"Alright! Alright! Don't do it! Go out early in the morning, and you won't be too tired to panic. You are a child, why do you want to do so much work? Go into the house, see that you have little to eat in the morning, and I will leave you a cake.

I'll tell you! It's just your first day here, and I'm afraid you're not used to it, so I'm going to keep it for you. From tomorrow onwards, you will give me a good meal in the morning, don't point out that there is such a thing, I will not leave anything for you again. ”

After two days of contact, Lin Su had already seen that Cheng Xiangju was completely an old lady with a knife-mouthed tofu heart. Regarding Cheng Xiangju's hard-mouthed words, although Lin Su felt a little funny in his heart, he obediently agreed.

After returning to the house, after seeing the cakes that were warmed in the pot by Cheng Xiangju, Lin Su's heart felt even warmer.

Because of his own experience, Lin Su actually attaches great importance to family affection. Last time, her family relationship was relatively weak. In this life, in a completely unfamiliar place, when he met such an old lady with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, Lin Su actually cherished it in his heart.

"Ding! Today's mission. Help Cheng Xiangju wash the clothes at home. Reward: Beginner Wish Qualification once. Failure Penalty: None. ”

Hearing the task released by the system, Lin Su hurriedly stuffed the cake into his mouth. Then, he ran out of the kitchen. Sure enough, in the yard, I saw Cheng Xiangju who was carrying a big basin and preparing to go to the river to wash clothes.

In the countryside of this era, every household was not connected to running water as in later generations. Most of the water used by the people in the village is brought back from the well at the entrance of the village.

As for laundry, everyone would put their clothes in large basins and go to the river in the village to wash them.

Seeing Cheng Xiangju holding a large basin, Lin Su hurriedly took out a slightly smaller basin from the side. Then, he ran to Cheng Xiangju and said, "Milk, go back and rest, I'll wash these clothes." ”

It's still summer at this time, and the clothes are not too thick. Lin Su, who has lived alone for many years, still has life skills. Washing these clothes is of course a no-brainer for her.

Hearing Lin Su's words, Cheng Xiangju glanced at her and said, "Okay, although let you look a little longer during this time, find more work to do yourself." However, it didn't let you take any of the work on yourself. I just went out and got a basket of pigweed this morning, and now I'm going to do the laundry again. You eight-year-old girl, how can you get so much energy to do so much work.

Go back and rest for a while, and when you're done, go to the forest and dig up some wild vegetables, and add some vegetables in the evening. You don't have to meddle in the laundry. ”

After finishing speaking, Cheng Xiangju took the basin and prepared to go out.

Seeing Cheng Xiangju's movements, Lin Su hurriedly stopped in front of her and said to her: "Milk, don't worry, when I was at home, I did more work than this, and I was used to it." Besides, you had back pain yesterday, so don't do so much work today! Just leave these clothes to me to wash, don't worry, I will definitely wash them clean. ”

Hearing that Lin Su was still concerned about his health at this time, Cheng Xiangju felt very comforted in her heart.

But she wouldn't let an eight-year-old really do that much work. After the two of you pushed me and pushed the land, Cheng Xiangju really couldn't resist Lin Su. I could only give her some of the clothes in the basin and take her to the river to wash her clothes.

"Sister-in-law Cheng, come and wash your clothes, why did you bring your Sanya here today?" Cheng Xiangju had just arrived at the river, and a woman who was already washing clothes by the river looked up at her and asked with some curiosity.

Hearing this woman's question, Cheng Xiangju suddenly felt a little proud. She glanced at Lin Su, and then said to the woman as if complaining: "I just said that this kid just went to the mountains this morning to collect a basket of pigweed, and before he could rest properly, he had to come out with me to wash clothes."

I said I didn't need her, I didn't need her, but this kid felt sorry for my back yesterday. I couldn't persuade me, so I had to come out with me and help me do the laundry. You said that she was a little child, and she could do something here, but she didn't make a mess for me. ”

Hearing Cheng Xiangju's words, although she knew that she was showing off her children here. However, these people around him do have some envy in their hearts.

People in this era are more introverted emotionally. Although the girls in the family are more capable and obedient, few children will show their concern for them so bluntly.

These people who envy in their hearts naturally surround Cheng Xiangju with a good compliment.

Seeing the lively appearance of the big guys, who was washing clothes not far away, Lin Su's eldest sister Lin Zhaodi, had some bad feelings in her heart at this time.
