But this time, Hui Niang will not be like a few years, and she will always be at the forefront by herself, after all, she is not a predecessor, and she will not do such a stupid thing.

Because Hui Niang had already discussed with Fan Ming, the family would stop for a few days when the "double robbery" was made, and now the Fan family has not "double-robbed", so don't stop the stalls in the town these days.

The couple is still busy every day as before, and of course the "double robbery" will not be completed in a few days, so the urgent thing now is to find someone to help Hui Niang, and for a while, Hui Niang and Fan Ming and their husband and wife could not find a good candidate.

A few days ago, Fan Ming's family had already released the news in the village that their family was going to recruit people, and a few days later, no one came to the door, I don't know if it was affected by the "double robbery", so no one came to the door.

Coupled with the matter of building a house, it will definitely be busy at that time, and no one can be recruited, so the husband and wife are a little anxious, but fortunately, there is a few days to ease, otherwise Hui Niang and his wife will definitely be in a hurry.

Somewhere in the village, Niu Wa, who was playing with Miao Miao, was playing with Miao Miao and curiously asked Miao Miao if it was true that their family was recruiting.

Said cautiously, Miao Miao scratched her head after hearing this, and asked Niu Wa with some incomprehension: "It seems that there is such a thing, Niu Wa, what are you asking for?" ”

After Xia Yue on the side heard this, she raised her head and glanced at Miao Miao, "Stupid, Niu Wa, he must want to be a worker in your family." ”

Miao Miao sighed after hearing this, remembering that Hui Niang had been reading non-stop things in her mouth every day recently, she had a flash of inspiration, stood up and walked around the cow baby, and then shook her head like a little adult and said to the cow baby: "No, you are too young, my mother said that she doesn't want children, and adults can help her work." "That's what my mother seems to say, and she said that she needs to be strong.

Niu Wa sighed in disappointment after hearing this. "Oh, I see."

"That's right." Miao Miao nodded affirmatively, thinking that Niuwa didn't have a big brother and sister? Why didn't they go to their mother to ask, Miao Miao saw that Niu Wa was silent, and in a blink of an eye, she played with Xia Yue and other things, and quickly forgot about it.

After playing for a while, Miao Miao and Xia Yue saw that Niu Wa was still depressed, so they pushed him down and asked him to play with the two of them.

Niu Wa was not interested and glanced at the two of them. I'm still depressed why I don't grow up a little more, so that I can be a worker and make money to treat my mother's illness.

When the three of them played until the sun was about to set, Niu Wa's eldest brother Luo Jiu came back from collecting firewood from the mountain, and happened to see Niu Wa playing with a few children.

"Big brother, did you come back from collecting firewood?" Niu Wa shouted happily. Then he stood up and looked at Luo Jiu who came over with some embarrassment. Like a child who did something wrong, he patted the dust off his butt.

"Yes, Niuwa, let's go home. It's getting dark, and my mother should worry about you later. Luo Jiu thought of his mother lying on the hospital bed, said to Niu Wa, and glanced at Miao Miao and Xia Yue. After a few words with them, he told the two of them to go back early.

"Miao Miao, Xia Yue. We'll see you tomorrow. Niu Wa said goodbye to Miao Miao and Xia Yue.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow." Miao Miao and Xia Yue said in unison, and then the two waved their hands at Niu Wa.

After Miao Miao and Xia Yue left, Niu Wa was afraid that she would be taught a lesson by Luo Jiu, so she immediately chattered with Luo Jiu, "Big brother, I'm not lazy today, I've already finished the pigweed, and the two baskets are full, and I also split the firewood, if you don't believe it, you can ask the second sister to know." ”

Luo Jiu remembered Niu Wa's appearance of chopping wood, smiled, and said to Niu Wa: "Niu Wa is really sensible. Luo Jiu saw this younger brother's sensibility, and was a little relieved by this younger brother who was eight years younger than himself, and he was a little distressed at the same time.

Five years ago, since my father inexplicably left their mother, and since then there has been no news, the burden of the family has been pressing on him and his sister Luo Shuang, after giving birth to a cow baby, my mother's health is getting worse day by day, and I don't know how long it will last.

When my father was not there, the land at home was borrowed by relatives for various reasons, saying that what sounds good is borrowing, and saying that what is not good is no different from robbing, and the only thing to keep is only the narrow acre of land.

One acre of land is enough for their family of four to eat, and the savings that the family had before have also been used up because of the sick mother.

Some people say that their father died, and some people say that their father left them forever and will never come back, but he and his sister Luo Shuang have always believed that their father will come back one day, back to this poor home.

In a blink of an eye, he is fourteen, and in a few years Luo Shuang should also say goodbye, if it weren't for the occasional help from the villagers, he would sometimes find short-term jobs to earn some income, maybe their family of four would be gone.

Luo Jiu thought of his father's tall figure, and when he had a broad back, his eyes were a little moist, and suddenly the cow baby, who had been chattering non-stop, seemed to remember something, and said to Luo Jiu: "Big brother, I heard that Uncle Ming's family is recruiting workers, I originally wanted to try it, just to earn some income for the family, but Miao Miao said that I was too young and not suitable." ”

Speaking of this cow baby, she is a little depressed, Miao Miao's mother must be discriminating against children, otherwise why not recruit children, he will do a lot of things.

Lighting the fire, washing vegetables, cutting pigweed, etc., but why does Miao Miao say that he is too young? If Hui Niang knew that Niu Wa was thinking, she would definitely be crying and laughing.

"Really? Is there such a thing? Luo Jiu frowned, why hadn't he heard about it.

"Yes, I told you yesterday, big brother, you have such a bad memory, you forgot it so quickly." Niu Wa was a little angry, this eldest brother is really, every time he says something to him, he forgets everything the next day, and the second sister's memory is better than that of the eldest brother.

"I'm sorry, Niuwa." Luo Jiu has always paid no attention to the rumors in the village, even if he remembers it, he will forget it the next moment.

Luo Jiu thought about what Niu Wa just said, it seemed that there was such a thing, "Oh, I remembered." "A while ago, Uncle Fan Ming's family was talked about by the people in the village, and there are many people in the village who are envious, their family not only bought cattle, but also bought land and built a house not long after, in the end, he was also a little envious in his heart.

Niu Wa blinked, "Look, I'll just tell you." ”

So saying, the brothers came to a low wooden house, which looked a little shabby, and if the wind had blown it away, it would have been blown away at once, and in front of the wooden house was a low fence, and beside the fence was a palm-sized vegetable patch, and in the yard were dried clothes.

Such a scene seems a bit depressed, there are still a few chickens running around in the yard, chasing each other, out of the wooden house out of a plainly dressed girl, saw Luo Jiu and Niu Wa back, shouted: "Big brother, Niu Wa, you are back, I am ready for dinner, you can eat after washing your hands." ”

"Has my mother eaten it?" Luo Jiu asked.

"Eat, Niuwa, hurry up and come with me to wash your hands and face, and see that your little face is dirty." Luo Shuang said to Niu Wa.

"Got it, second sister." Then I heard Niu Wa say to Luo Shuang: "By the way, second sister, I learned to read and write with Miao Miao today." ”

Niu Wa couldn't wait to tell this happy event and share it with Luo Shuang, with a faint pride on her face, and an expression of "Come and praise me".

Luo Jiuyi, who was putting things away, was stunned, "Really? Luo Shuang asked excitedly, their family is poor, not to mention reading and reading, even eating is a problem, and now I heard Niu Wa say that he can read and write, naturally I was very surprised.

Niu Wa said excitedly to Luo Shuang: "Yes, second sister, when I come back from learning, I will teach you later, okay?" "Big brother, he doesn't teach anymore, who makes the big brother always forget what he said.

"This ...... I won't learn anymore, Niu Wa should teach the eldest brother. Luo Shuang was a little hesitant, at her age, I am afraid that there are no girls in the village who can learn to read and write.

"Why don't you learn, second sister, I'll teach you." Niu Wa finally found something to do, which could make it so easy for Luo Shuang not to learn.

The sisters and brothers here were arguing non-stop, and Hui Niang, who was cooking dinner, saw Miao Miao coming back so early and asked, "Miao Miao is back." ”

"Hmm." After Miao Miao finished, she ran over on her feet, hugged Hui Niang's legs, and talked to Hui Niang about what Niu Wa asked her today.

"Oh, really?" Hui Niang thought of Niu Wa's simple appearance, a little funny, his brothers and sisters, Hui Niang didn't know each other, and didn't care much, and Miao Miao said a few words, and sent her to wash her hands.

The next day, there was only a glimmer of light in the sky, Hui Niang got up, habitually opened the door, and saw Luo Jiu, Niu Wa and Luo Shuang's three brothers and sisters standing at the door of her house, and was startled, when did these people come and how long did they stand?

"Cow baby? Are you here so early? Hui Niang asked, what is Niu Wa doing this early in the morning? is still blocked at her door, are the other men and women the brothers and sisters of Niu Wa?

"Auntie." Niu Wa shouted sweetly.

"Come on in." Hui Niang greeted. Luo Jiu and Luo Shuang greeted Hui Niang successively, but they didn't go into the house for a long time.

"That aunt, my eldest brother said he had something to say to you." Seeing that the eldest brother and the second sister didn't speak, Niu Wa took the lead in saying that he didn't understand what the eldest brother and the second sister were nervous about.

"Daughter-in-law, who is here so early?" Fan Ming got dressed and walked out and asked Hui Niang.

Hui Niang replied: "Oh, it's the three brothers and sisters of Niu Wa." ”

Fan Ming's appearance made Luo Jiu and Luo Shuang even more nervous, originally they had finally made this decision, but now that they came, they were embarrassed to speak.

"That, Uncle Fan Ming." The brother and sister shouted in unison.

"Come in and sit, Ah Jiu, don't stand outside." Fan Ming greeted.

"No, Uncle Fan Ming, our three brothers and sisters are here today to find you something." After Luo Jiu finished speaking, his face turned a rare red.
