Chapter 68: There is not enough firewood

However, Xuan Miaoer knew that her grandmother would leave tomorrow, so she was very reluctant and asked Li Xiulan in a low voice: "Uncle, will you go back tomorrow?

Li Xiulan looked at Xuan Miao'er distressedly, and touched Xuan Miao'er's hair: "Your grandmother is so picky, let's eat two more meals, it is estimated that she will embarrass you, if you like your aunt, wait for the winter to go to your grandmother's house and live for a while." ”

"Well, I'll definitely go when I have a chance in the future. Xuan Miaoer tilted her neck and looked at Li Xiulan with a smile, this aunt is really good, and it is also the blessing of her grandmother and uncle, in fact, it is also the blessing of the Liu family, if she is a bad sister-in-law, how can she really come to help with such a work, and let her mother-in-law give money to her sister-in-law.

This night, everyone put out the candles, and talked until midnight, although Xuan Miao'er had a thirty-year-old soul, but her body was eleven years old, and she still couldn't bear it at night, so she went to sleep first.

Early the next morning, my grandmother Wu went to the house to say goodbye after breakfast, because there were more ox carts to take in the morning, and my grandmother's village, if you take the ox cart back, it would take half a day, so I tried to leave early.

When her grandmother Wu left, she said that she had left two taels of silver, but Liu couldn't shirk it, so she had to accept it.

The task of sending my grandmother to the village to wait for the ox cart was handed over to the second uncle Xuan Wenjiang and Xuan Anhao, because waiting for the ox cart is a matter of no fixed time, if you are lucky, you may meet it at the entrance of the village, and if you are unlucky, you may have to wait until noon.

So Xuan Miaoer can't leave the house for too long, if Chubby pees, she has to help clean it up immediately. Xuan Wentao also had to keep someone by his side, so he could only send it to Xuan Wenjiang and Xuan Anhao at home.

Xuan Miaoer and Xuan Anrui were sent outside the gate until their grandmother's figure was out of sight, and the two were reluctant to come back.

Fortunately, my grandmother was lucky today, and she met the ox cart going to Yamada Village in half an hour, so she didn't have to bask in the sun for too long.

It's just that my grandmother is gone, and the whole family is unhappy and feels empty. Even Chubby is a little more noisy than before, and even children can feel the psychology of adults.

After a few days, the Xuan family also cooked rice. It's just a hired worker, and at this time the rice has to be used by a water wheel, and each family has a fixed time, so it can't be delayed. Old Man Xuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and hire a worker.

The weather is getting colder and colder day by day, and it is already freezing outside in the morning and evening, and even the kitchen tank is covered with ice ballast, Xuan Miaoer really wants to separate the family. Earn money, and then buy a big house, make it warmer, now this house can't even burn too much, and the walls are leaking.

Looking at this house, Xuan Miao'er didn't know in her heart, if it snowed heavily in winter, would this roof be able to resist it? She thought that it would be safer for her second uncle to repair the roof in a few days.

At this time, the Xuanjia family was more strict, that is, the firewood stack was getting smaller and smaller, and there was no need to worry about this matter before. Because this matter is in charge of Xuan Wentao and Xuan Wenjiang, generally after the autumn harvest, they will go to chop firewood every day, until the snow falls, and the firewood they cut is enough to burn in winter.

But now that no one has been chopping firewood for more than half a month, the firewood stack is getting smaller and smaller, and the old man Xuan first discovered this problem, in fact, Xuan Wenjiang also found it, but he didn't say it, he is different from Xuan Wentao. Xuan Wentao often still cares about this family in the heart of his eldest son.

And Xuan Wenjiang hates going to the room more, and he feels that he has no family affection for the old man Xuan, so he didn't say anything. I just want to see what they do, anyway, Xuan Wentao's injury will be healed for a while, and when it is better, it is estimated that the snow will fall, and it will be impossible to chop firewood at that time.

It was too early for the old man to find out, and after breakfast, he left the fourth Xuanwen letter: "Fourth." Your eldest brother is injured, and your second brother can't do without it, our firewood stack is getting smaller and smaller, I'm afraid it's not enough winter, you're okay these days, go cut wood. ”

Xuan Wenxin had never done this work before, he was busy harvesting and planting in the autumn and autumn, and now he wants him to chop firewood alone? He quickly shook his head: "Dad, I haven't chopped firewood, I won't, let the second brother go, I think the eldest brother is almost fine, there is no need for two people to serve, and if the eldest brother turns over and goes to the toilet or something, I can also help." ”

When Ma heard that he asked his son to chop wood, he felt uncomfortable, and the boss used to do this work: "Old man, what the fourth brother said makes sense, he doesn't use anything, let's let the second child go, so as not to chop enough firewood before the snowfall." ”

Old Man Xuan also thinks so in his heart, he is not thinking from the perspective of eccentricity, but from the perspective of who can work, the second child is much more capable than the fourth, and the second child can do it in one day and the fourth child for three days, so it is better to let the second child go.

After thinking about it a few times, Old Man Xuan walked to the west wing and entered Xuanwenjiang's house.

Xuan Wentao and Xuan Wenjiang were both startled, because Old Man Xuan rarely came to their house, Xuan Wentao hurriedly said: "Dad is sitting on the kang, Miao'er has burned the kang in the morning." ”

Old Man Xuan had something in his heart, and he didn't know how to speak, but he still took off his shoes and put on the kang: "What's wrong with the boss's injury?"

"Last time, Li Langzhong came to change the medicine for me, and said that it was okay to recover, but the injury was too deep, and it would take a hundred days to hurt the bones if I touched the bones, and the bones were not deep, but I had to take two months. "Xuan Wentao's words are not exaggerated at all, Li Langzhong said so, if Xuan Miaoer is here, he must say that he will be raised for three months.

When Old Man Xuan heard this, he was startled, he thought that one month would be fine, and two months would be winter, and at that time the heavy snow would close the mountain: "Then take care of it, this matter is not right after all." ”

At this time, Xuan Anhao ran to Liu's house to report to Xuan Miaoer: "Sister, my grandfather is here, and he is in the second uncle's house." ”

Xuan Miao'er was changing Chubby's diaper, and as soon as she heard Xuan Anhao's words, she handed the diaper to Liu: "Mother, I have to go over and take a look, grandfather promises to tell us something." As he spoke, he got off the kang and put on his shoes and followed Xuan Anhao over.

After entering the house, Xuan Miao'er hurriedly shouted affectionately: "Grandfather is here." ”

Old man Xuan felt a cold wind behind him when he saw Xuan Miaoer recently, I don't know why, but after she jumped into the river, I felt that every time I had any thoughts, I couldn't hide it in front of this girl.

"Miao girl, why don't you take care of your brother, hurry up and help your mother take care of your brother. "Old Man Xuan especially wants to take Xuan Miao'er away.

"Grandfather, my brother is sleeping, I'm done with my work, take a break, I'll be busy when my brother wakes up in a while, you talk, don't worry about me. Xuan Miaoer sat on the edge of the kang on the side of the kang, moved in, let her calves rest on the edge of the kang, and sat down steadily. (To be continued.) )
