Bai Xiao led Xiao Cui into the door, and his heart was sour.

This is the second sister's home.

Look at the outside and look bright, but the furniture in the house is old furniture that has been touched and painted, and it looks like it has not been replaced for many years, and it is difficult to think that my brother-in-law is a carpenter!

Not to mention the musty smell in the house, and a turbid and unpleasant smell, coupled with the piles of clothes and water basins on the ground, it looks like Bai Ju was preparing to wash clothes just now.

Bai Ju looked at it, a little embarrassed, pushed the thing in, and hurriedly pushed Bai Xiao inside.

"Come, come to the back room, this is my brother-in-law He Wei, this is my sister Bai Xiao! ”

On a bed in the dark hut in the middle, a young man in ragged clothes was half-sitting on the bed, his face was pale, it was the abnormal pale that he didn't see the sun, his eyes were gloomy and shrunken, he couldn't help but pull the quilt covering his legs, pointed to the inner room helplessly, and didn't say a word.

Probably because He Wei doesn't often deal with people, and he can't even communicate at the bare minimum, so he should be a person with low self-esteem.

"Hello!" Bai Xiao greeted lightly, not wanting to make He Wei uncomfortable, and then entered the back room with Bai Ju.

Bai Mei simply left with a disdainful face.

Only then did I see that the inner room was bright, with a large window, a large bed under the wall by the window, and two small beds next to each other, and a large wardrobe against the wall, but it was also mottled to let people know that it was very old.

The whitewashed walls had long since become stained, dark yellow with chimney oil.

Bai Ju beckoned Bai Xiao and Bai Mei to sit down, "You guys sit, this is noon, I'll go to Zhang Luo for lunch! Today you are here, sister go cut some meat! We make dumplings to eat, we can't treat our sister slowly." Bai Ju was happy, her sister had never been here, and this was the first time she had come to the door.

Bai Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on Bai Ju's bed, although the home looked dilapidated, but Bai Ju was cleaned up, which made people feel comfortable.

"Sister, I'm going to starve to death!" Bai Mei was coquettish, and she could finally take a breath.

Bai Ju touched the cabinet for a long time, and only then did he find two yuan, and he was ready to carry it into his arms.

As a result, Bai Xiao grabbed him, "Second sister, you don't have to go, you can eat whatever you have at home, we are sisters, if you are polite to me, my sister will be angry!" Just now, Bai Xiao had already seen that there were only a few scattered yuan in the second sister's handkerchief!

Bai Ju pushed her hand away, and said with a smile: "You are my sister, it's rare to come once, if you don't buy some meat, my sister won't be happy, if you want to make my sister feel uncomfortable for the rest of her life, you can stop my sister, and besides, our family will also eat." It's the New Year. ”

Take off your apron, pat the dirt on your body and go out.

Xiao Cui immediately bit her nails, and a smile bloomed on her little face, she should have heard that there was meat to eat, and she was happy, so she quietly pulled Bai Xiao and said, "Auntie, can you come to us to play more next time?"

The look of his eyes made Bai Xiaole happy.

Touching her slightly yellow hair, she asked, "Why?"

Xiao Cui leaned on Bai Xiao's lap, "There's meat to eat!"

What made Bai Xiao sad was sad and ridiculous.

Bai Mei had already crooked to the bed, squinting, and Bai Xiao went over and kicked her.

Bai Mei almost exploded, looking at Bai Xiao, she didn't dare to attack, her face was full of fire, "What are you doing?"

"Go fetch water!"

Bai Mei glared, "Why?"

"No, you can leave now, you want to eat for nothing, there are no idlers here!" Bai Xiao rolled up his sleeves, put on an apron, and went directly to the hut outside, opened the window, and then lifted the curtain, and the house immediately lit up.

"We're here to be guests!" Bai Mei just didn't want to get out of bed, she was tired all the way.

Bai Xiao glared, "You really treat yourself as a guest! Make a face! Hurry up and fetch water, or believe it or not, I'll kick you out now, and you don't even want to eat a mouthful of food!"

If it weren't for Bai Mei's little bit of caution, she wouldn't hesitate to take care of Bai Mei.

"Then what are you doing?" Bai Mei muttered and got out of bed, looking reluctant.

Bai Xiao had already poured water into the clothes in the basin on the ground, sat down with a washboard and a small bench, and pointed to the clothes, "Otherwise, you will wash it!

Bai Mei looked at it and weighed it in her heart for a long time, there were a lot of clothes on the ground, as well as the inside of the sheets that had just been changed and the mattress and quilt that had been dismantled, this was a lot, Bai Mei stared and sulked, Bai Xiao is a working life, and he is not idle here.

"I don't know the way, who knows where the place to fetch water is? Otherwise, when Sister Bai Ju comes back, I'll ask her to go again!" Bai Mei thought very well, and when Bai Ju came back, she asked, Bai Ju specified that she couldn't let her go to fetch water, and she didn't hide it all at once.

"Xiao Cui, come, Auntie has a task for you!"

As soon as Xiao Cui heard her aunt shouting, she immediately ran out, and today in Xiao Cui's mind, her aunt is the most powerful person.

"You go and take this aunt to fetch water, you know the place to fetch water, right?" Bai Xiao felt that Xiao Cui was only six or seven years old, but a child of this age, the child of the poor was already in charge, and it was impossible for such a young child not to know.

Xiao Cui nodded, "I know!

Bai Mei knew that the general trend was gone, and Bai Xiao would never let go of herself, so she hung her head and followed Xiaocui with a bucket to fetch water.

Bai Xiao moved neatly, and after a while, she washed out a large basin of clothes, as well as the quilt and quilt, which were a piece of cake compared to the work she had done in her previous life.

But she couldn't say anything about Bai Xiao, so she could only take the bucket and beat it out.

Bai Xiao took the clothes outside to dry, she had already seen a clothesline in the small kitchen at the door of every house, and there was definitely no need to say that the clothesline at the door of someone's house was someone's.

The clothes were all put up and hung up, Bai Ju had already seen that he had come back with a knife of meat and a bundle of leeks, and when he saw Bai Xiaohan's clothes, he couldn't help complaining, "When your child arrives at my sister's house, you still need to do these jobs?" Usually at home, grandma, uncle specified that you didn't let you work less, and when you get to your sister, you can give me a good rest." You are not allowed to work anymore, do you hear?"

She still doesn't know the truth that people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, and what good her sister can do in her uncle and grandmother's house.
