Chapter 30 Decisions

That night, Zhou Wanwan was using her consciousness to match her brothers with energy supplements in the space, hoping to make a batch of potions that could not only replenish the energy needed by the body, but also prevent excessive fatigue from causing damage to the body.

In this year's spring ploughing, there is only one mule, two oxen and two horses left in the entire production team, and they are still the ones that were so hungry that they had to rely on people to carry them last winter, and this spring they can stand up and eat grass on their own, and they are not expected to do heavy work at all, and even some light work of pulling things cannot be done.

The strength of the whole team depends on manpower, Zhou Yang has been doing heavy work such as plowing and pulling soil throughout the spring ploughing period, and the snoring every night is earth-shattering, and the red and swollen marks on the shoulders will disappear today and will be added tomorrow, and it has never been broken.

Zhou Chen digs ditches, lifts soil, digs pits, and repairs every day, and does all the hard work. Although both of them took high-dose energy supplements and their bodies could still support them, the fatigue could not be eliminated. Zhou Wanwan thought of a lot of ways to rub ointment to relieve muscle pain while they were sleeping, or to add more things to their bodies, although it can ensure that their bodies are always in a healthy state, fatigue is unavoidable.

Just as Zhou Wanwan was frowning in the space about this matter, she heard the conversation between the two brothers.

"We're getting more and more handsome!" Zhou Yang's voice.

"That's it! I've never seen a better looking kid than us! Zhou Chen's voice was obviously proud. Look at her little eye hairs, like two little fans. ”

"The little face is also good-looking, why does it look so white and tender, the more you look at it, the rarer it becomes."

……

Zhou Wanwan listened and laughed in the space. This is a routine conversation between the two silly brothers who basically come once a day, the theme is to see how good their sister is, smart, beautiful, caring and sensible, anyway, it is pleasing to the eye, and no child's family can compare.

Zhou Wanwan laughed while doing what she was doing, and by the time she turned her attention to her brothers' conversation again, they had already changed the subject.

“…… If I can really grow reeds, this year's Dragon Boat Festival, I want to cut some reed leaves and sell them, how much can I earn some cash, and buy a piece of flower cloth for Nannan, she has grown so big and hasn't worn new clothes. Zhou Yang's voice said steadily.

"I'll go too. If you have money left, buy a hairband for Nannan, red, like yarn, and tie her in small braids, it will definitely look good. Zhou Chen also agreed.

"Yes, our girl looks so good, you have to dress her beautifully, so that others can see it, we don't have a mother, and we are no worse than anyone else." Zhou Yang's voice was a little choked.

"Worse than whom? Better than anyone else! Zhou Chen was a little excited, "We are beautiful and smart, and we know that we are distressed, and we are better than any other child!" When I grow up, no one can compare. ”

……

Zhou Wanwan listened to the conversation of her brothers, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

Her eldest brother has always been like this, in his past and present lives, he tried his best to dress her up beautifully, and wanted everyone to know that she was the most beautiful and cutest child in the world, and no one would look down on her......

In the previous life, in the summer when Zhou Wanwan was thirteen years old, the production team took advantage of the wheat harvest and was not busy in autumn, and organized the young and middle-aged laborers in the team to go to the city to pull bricks for people, hoping to earn some cash to buy some farm tools. Zhou Yang also went, and the work of pulling bricks was very tiring, according to the people who went with him, every day from 6 o'clock in the morning to 8 o'clock in the evening, he had to keep pulling a flatbed truck full of bricks to climb a very steep dirt slope.

That time was to repair the water tower for the city's water company, the water tower was built on a high slope, and the road was not good, so it had to rely on manpower. The people of the construction company refused to endure this hardship, so they contracted to the rural people.

At that time, the eldest brother's leg was already very bad, sometimes he couldn't sleep well, and he often woke up in the middle of the night, but he still worked like everyone else and was not pulled on a trip. After work, everyone was so tired that they slept on the board, but the eldest brother refused to rest. He went to the vegetable market to help the vegetable company carry the vegetables, and carried the vegetables for two hours from 3 to 5 o'clock in the morning every day. A big bag of those vegetables is nearly 200 catties, and the eldest brother has to carry a large bag of vegetables from the car to the vegetable market three or four hundred meters away, and carry three cents an hour. The eldest brother worked hard day and night for more than 30 days, and when he came back, he couldn't move on one leg and could only drag it away.

He was reluctant to spend a dime to buy some painkillers for himself, but he bought a set of really good clothes for Zhou Wanwan with the more than 20 yuan he earned by carrying a big bag every day. Later, Zhou Wanwan learned that it was the inside news that the eldest brother overheard the inside news of the vegetable company when he was carrying the vegetables, and begged someone to give him the internal number, and he went to the door of the department store to line up for a whole night before he grabbed the fabric.

In the early seventies, it was indeed good, and it was also a rare item in the eyes of the people of the big city, not only because its price was several times more expensive than other fabrics, but also because money could not buy it. It is no exaggeration to say that any young man who buys a good shirt for his girlfriend is equivalent to giving a Cartier limited edition watch to future generations.

This set of clothes was the first in the entire Yangshugou Township at that time, and it was rare even in the entire Suilin County. After all, one foot costs a piece of expensive fabric of eight cents, who is willing to make a shirt and a skirt, and only earn a salary of more than 20 yuan a month, and the family still has to eat.

At that time, the entire Zhou family also exploded because of this dress. But no matter how Mrs. Zhou tossed, no matter how much trouble her stepmother made, the eldest brother didn't let Zhou Wanwan be affected a little, he stood up silently alone, with only one sentence, "Nan Nan has grown up, you have to wear some good clothes." ”

Zhou Wanwan felt sorry for his eldest brother and wanted to hand over his clothes, don't let them embarrass him anymore. The eldest brother smiled and said that it was okay, as long as she was dressed up beautifully, the eldest brother would be happy, and she would be happy.

Until now, thinking of the warm and loving eyes of his eldest brother in his exhaustion at that time, Zhou Wanwan couldn't control his tears. No matter when, the simplest and deepest wish of the eldest brother is that the younger sister can appear beautifully in front of people, get affirmation, and get love, not for the sake of face, without any interests involved, he just wants his sister to get all the good things.

In her previous life, Zhou Wanwan only knew her eldest brother's deep and selfless love for her, but in this life, she got the same ardent expectations from her second brother. Since her brothers have put in so much effort and want her to be a smart and beautiful child, why should she be a child who makes her brothers proud?

As for Zhou Wanwan's previous clumsy plan, it was simply unbearable in the face of the expectations of the brothers. What is low-key, what is causing trouble, she is a wandering ghost now, whoever dares to destroy her and her brothers' lives, she dares to ruin whom, without any hesitation, leaving no room for anything!

The weather was getting warmer and warmer, and at noon I couldn't wear a sweater, and when Zhou Chen was rummaging through the cabinet, he inadvertently turned out a small bag, which was in addition to some of the torn clothes that his mother had collected before to make shoes, and there were also new clothes for their brothers and sisters. One is a small shirt for Zhou Wanwan, with yellow flowers and green leaves on a white background, not so smart, but there are holes in the cuffs and placket, but it was cleverly embroidered with small flowers and ducklings by the mother, and it is absolutely impossible to see it if you don't turn it over to the reverse side. The two are the cotton shirts of his brothers, which are also changed from old clothes, but the stitches are fine, the fit is comfortable, and the long-sleeved and low-necked are just right to wear now.

Of course, this is Zhou Wanwan's handiwork. Since it has been decided to improve the lives of my brothers, eating is one aspect, and wearing it can't be too aggrieved. As long as she is not ahead of her time, she is not out of line, and it is okay to occasionally do a little trick under the guise of her mother, as for what others think, she doesn't care.

The little chicks at home were moved to the ground after being raised on the kang for two days, a small pile of yellow and yellow, and they went to touch it every day every night and night, and fed some spiritual spring water, hoping that they would grow up soon, and they could be used as a guise to open a small stove for their brothers.

Zhou Wanwan was worried about getting food for her brothers, and her brothers were also trying to find food for her. Since Zhou Wanwan spit out the grass leaves, she hasn't done anything out of the ordinary at the dinner table. No matter how unpalatable, she ate a few bites. And since there is food in the mouse hole, the food of the Zhou family is not so difficult to swallow, and Zhou Wanwan can deal with it.

But Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen didn't think that their sister could deal with it, seeing her frowning every day and forcing herself to drink mush, both of them were distressed. Every day, I think about getting her something else to eat, so that she can eat happily.

That night, before going to bed, Zhou Chen mysteriously gave Zhou Wanwan a small handful of grassroots-like things with white and green. "It's hairy, sweet, you taste it."

Zhou Wanwan took a closer look, although it was smaller than the memory and wilted, but it was indeed the taste of the memory, with a hint of sweet grass aroma.

"Second brother eats." Zhou Wanwan sent one to Zhou Chen's mouth, and then one to Zhou Yang's mouth, "Big brother also eats." ”

Both of them bit off a little bite, and pretended to be delicious and let Zhou Wanwan eat it, and they refused to move it again.

Zhou Wanwan lowered her head and pretended to eat vigorously, and quietly blinked the tears in her eyes. This is the love of her brothers, and she knows that the happier she is now, the more she loves to eat, the happier her brothers are, many times happier than they are to eat themselves, so she has to eat these hard-won hairy roots well, cherishingly.

Although the second brother didn't say it, Zhou Wanwan knew that these inconspicuous hairy roots must not be easy to come by, and when the grass can't grow into pieces, the sweet hairy roots are like gold in the stone for children, and they are very rare.
