Chapter 5
After everyone finished eating, they took a break and continued to work, every day at noon, my brother and Lin Yan didn't go home to eat, they all ate at the master's side, 500 wen a month, and my father's salary was three or two a month, grandparents are really eccentric! After I helped my mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks, I continued to carry the basket on my back to the mountains to pick up fire.
Chunni's wild vegetables were enough to eat this morning, so I was the only one today. Walking on the road, I kept thinking about how I could make life at home a little better. When the end came, I was in high school, and I didn't know anything about soap, perfume, cement, gunpowder! When it comes to cooking, what can you expect an only daughter to do, the people of the end of the world just ask to be full, and don't care about the taste at all. I can only hunt with mental abilities now, but I dare to do so much with a bunch of bloodsucking insects at home, after all, there are no impermeable walls in the world. I can't even do anything, I can't help but feel lost.
Soon I had a basket full of firewood, and I walked slowly down the hill, and when I got home I found that they were still working on the house, and I looked at it, as if it was almost finished. After I put the wood fire in the wood room, I continued to go to the mountains to make wood fires, because so many people have to eat, wash, and feed pigs and cattle every day.
It wasn't until sunset that I finished picking up enough wood for five days. When I got home, I found that the roof had been built, and I hurried to help my mother cook. Because I was also doing heavy work tonight, there was no dilute porridge where I could see people, and there were wild vegetables that cut my throat. Grandma Wang's use cornmeal, sweet potato noodles, and wheat noodles together with Chengsan and noodles, and the porridge is also put more rice and sweet potatoes to make it thicker.
The meal was soon ready, and my mother and I had our meal in the hall, and today's dish was cold wild vegetables. Soon everyone was seated and ready to eat. The old man said that it was okay to eat, and everyone immediately started. I took a three-and-noodle nest and took a bite of it, it was really fragrant, and I didn't cut my throat at all. I took another sip of porridge, and it was the best dinner I've had since I've been here.
After dinner, after I helped Li clean up, I went back to the hall because my grandfather had something to say, "The house was finished today anyway, but I have to be busy with farm work, and the seeds have not been bought yet." Second, tomorrow you go and buy the seeds back. As soon as the second uncle heard this, he was not happy, "Why can the second child go to the provincial capital, I haven't been to the county seat for a long time." "If you want to go, then do you want to go with the second, mainly because he works in the province and county, and he is more familiar with the county, if any of you want to go, then go with it, but you must finish the work in your hands!" After the old man finished speaking, everyone nodded without an opinion. The old man looked at the day, it was not too late, "You all go back to your room and sleep, there are still many things to do tomorrow." After listening to the old man's words, everyone left one after another.
When I got back to the room, I said, "Daddy, can I go to the county with you tomorrow, I want to go to the county town to play too." Daddy listened to me and said, "I'll take you if you want to go, but is your work done?" I hurriedly replied, "Of course it's done, the pigweed beaten by W is enough for the pigs to eat, and the wood is enough for the fire." Dad listened to me doing so much work every day, and nodded with satisfaction: "My family Xiuxiu is really capable, I do so much work every day, you will go to the county seat with you tomorrow!" Hearing my father's promise, I jumped up with joy.
At this time, my mother and brother walked in: "What did you two say, so happy?" "Dad said he was going to take me to the county seat tomorrow?" When my mother heard this, she was also very happy, "Speaking of which, Xiuxiu seems to be the first time to go to the county seat, so it's good to go and see." "When my brother heard that I was going to the county seat with my father, he looked at me with envy, because my brother had never been to the county seat with my father.
After everyone washed, they soon went to bed, I slept in the same bed with my brother and mother and my father, we were all poor, and when I had money in the future, I must build a house of my own, and my own bed.
The next day was soon here, and this time I didn't need to be called by Wang, I got up by myself, because I was going to the county seat. After eating, my father set up the ox cart, and I found that my aunt and Lin Hong, as well as my little aunt, were going to the county seat. As soon as Lin Hong saw me, he was very angry: "You are going to the county seat like this, are you done?" I retorted, "Of course I'm done, I don't want some people to do nothing every day, and they're lazy like a pig." Lin Hong listened to my words and didn't say anything, after all, what I did today was my father's car, and there were adults here, hahahaha, it feels good to have a father.
When everyone arrived, Daddy was called into the room by Grandpa to give money.
After my father came out, he skillfully drove the carriage and drove towards the county seat. I felt very uncomfortable on the road, because the road was very uneven, full of potholes, and the wheels of the carriage were made of wood, so there was no comfort at all. When my father saw that I was so uncomfortable, he immediately took me into his arms, and I finally felt a little more bearable. Feeling better, I quickly remembered the way.
The carriage arrived in a while, because Taohua Village was very close to the county seat, and it would take half an hour to walk. Because I had a lot to buy this time, I came in a car. When I entered the city, I found a lot of green brick and green tile houses. Dad said that these are all houses for rich people, and we have to go further ahead, and that is the place to buy things.
Soon we arrived at the bazaar, and the aunt and aunt parted. My father took me to the place where I repaired the farm tools, and the farm work was about to arrive, and if I didn't fix it properly, the farm work would not work. Farm tools need to be repaired for a while, so my father took me to the place where I bought seeds, and on the way I passed by a storefront, and my father said, "Xiuxiu, my father works here, so I remember it." I looked at it and nodded to Daddy.
When we arrived at the place where we bought the seeds, someone soon came out to entertain us: "Hello two visitors, what do you need?" "Hey, the service attitude is pretty good. My father said, "We need 10 catties of soybean seeds, 50 catties of corn seeds, and 30 catties of rice seeds." Daddy took out the money after hearing this. It seems that one tael of silver is equal to a thousand Wen, and I gradually understand money. Xiao Er helped us carry the seeds to the car, and my father and I walked to the place where the farm tools were repaired.
