Looking at the food on the table, Ye Qiu was silent for a moment, the leftovers that made the big girl feel distressed were just a little meat star, and the staple food was just a few wild vegetable nests, but this was all good things that the little girl had never eaten.

Looking at the skinny little girl, Ye Qiu's heart throbbed for a while: "Let's go." ”

Ye Qiu picked up the chopsticks, but found that the three younger sisters didn't move, obviously they were drooling from hunger, but they were all in order, this is because Ye Li has taught them since they were young that good things should be eaten by the eldest brother, because the eldest brother studies very hard.

Ye Qiu couldn't, so he directly sandwiched a small half bowl of dishes for each person, striving to make everyone have the same amount of meat in their bowls.

"Big brother, we can't eat so much." The eldest girl was shocked when she saw the bottom of the vegetables in the basin, and her first reaction was to give her own dishes to Ye Qiu, and the second girl also pushed her bowl forward silently when she saw this, only the little girl looked dazed, and then looked at Ye Qiu with a pair of big eyes.

"No, you don't." Ye Qiu's face sank, and he took out the majesty of being a big brother: "In the future, I will be the master of the family, whatever I say, eat." ”

Ye Qiu's momentum was still very strong, and the eldest girl didn't dare to say more, but there was a warm current in her heart, and Ye Qiu pushed the second girl's bowl in front of her again, and her voice became soft: "Hurry up and eat." ”

Although Xiaoya is only five years old, she is very clever, and after getting the letter, she can't wait to pick up vegetables in her mouth, because she is too anxious to eat, and not only hiccups, but even so, her movements have not stopped, it seems that she is really hungry, her appearance is very unsightly, but at this time no one blames her.

Or because of poverty! Ye Qiu sighed in his heart, there were countless delicious things in his space, but he couldn't just take them out rashly, he had to think of a way in the future.

This meal is very satisfying except for Ye Qiu, although it is leftovers after the funeral, but it is not a good taste to mix together, not to mention that the three sisters have not eaten for a long time, and Ye Qiu has to wash the dishes after eating, this time the eldest girl is unwilling to do whatever Ye Qiu says, in her heart, scholars are very noble, not to mention that Ye Qiu is still a man, and he has already been admitted to the Tongsheng examination, how can he do a woman's work? Burning the fire was already her limit, so Ye Qiu was kicked out of the kitchen.

He swore that he saw the corners of Erya's mouth curled slightly, but it was good to smile, Erya was too silent and cowardly.

After washing the dishes, the big girl also boiled a big pot of water, firewood is not money, the back mountains are everywhere, as long as you don't go to the deep mountains, there is generally no danger, busy for three whole days, each of the four brothers and sisters took a hot bath, and then went to bed under Ye Qiu's urging, and the little girl followed the big girl and the second girl together.

Ye Qiu was lying on the bed, the bed board was wooden, but there was a thick layer of straw underneath, and there was a bed of thin cotton wool on it, and the quilt was also cotton, although it was old, it was warm to sleep in the autumn, but his things have always been the best in the house, so you can imagine how bad the eldest girl and the second girl slept on, and now they can cope with it, but it is winter in less than two months, and there is no thick quilt at that time, it will definitely be frozen.

Ye Qiu sighed, the conditions at home were still too poor, especially the things in his space couldn't be taken out casually, he still had to think of a way to make money.

"It's so late!" The eldest girl woke up suddenly, only to find that the sun had been born in mid-air, and the little girl was sleeping next to her with a confused face, and when she saw the eldest girl getting up and rubbing her eyes blankly, the second girl also lifted the thin quilt when she heard the sound.

The big girl hurriedly dressed and put on her shoes, secretly scolding herself for sleeping so late, the funeral was only done yesterday, although the things have been returned, but there are still a lot of things to do at home, especially today's breakfast is not settled! Why did you sleep until three o'clock in the morning?

If you want Ye Qiu to say, it is normal for them to sleep late, Ye's mother has just died, and she has hardly slept in the funeral for the past three days, she had a full meal yesterday, took a hot bath, and fell into a deep sleep, which is a must.

The big girl got up and came to the kitchen, only to find that the pot was steaming, and when she lifted the lid of the pot, she saw that there was not only a large pot of hot water inside, but also an iron basin on the hot water, and in the basin were several steamed sweet potatoes.

"Brother?" The eldest girl shouted, this meal should be made by the eldest brother, but how can he do this? And what about others?

"Up?" Ye Qiu came in with a bucket, and his expression looked very natural, "What about the second girl?" There is hot water in the pot, so let's wash up first, and then eat breakfast after washing. ”

The eldest girl looked at the pig food bucket, and a slight red could be seen on her sallow little face: "Brother, are you going to feed the pigs?" How can you do this, you should be waiting for me to do it, blame me for getting up late. She was about to cry as she spoke.

At this time, the second girl and the little girl also walked out of the west wing, looking at the eldest girl looking like she was about to cry, very cramped and nervous.

"I'm just doing some housework, and it's like the sky is going to fall." Ye Qiu couldn't cry or laugh, "You look at it and it scares the second and little girls." ”

The eldest girl glanced at the two younger sisters, pursed her lips again, and then snatched the pig food bucket in Ye Qiu's hand: "Then big brother, you go eat first, and I'll do the rest." ”

In fact, Ye Qiu had already done the general thing, and when he saw that the eldest girl was uncomfortable, he didn't stop it.

"Big brother, where did you get these sweet potatoes?" The big girl took a bite, only to feel that her mouth was soft and sweet.

After sweet potatoes were introduced from overseas to Tianlin Dynasty two hundred years ago, they quickly spread all over the north and south of the river, because of the large output and not picking fields, they were very popular with the people, it stands to reason that the Ye family would not even be able to eat sweet potatoes, but because Ye Qiu was studying, the Ye family was really too poor, and the land of the poor family was sold very little, and they could only grow a little rice to pay taxes.

The sweet potatoes are soft and glutinous, and they are warm in the stomach, Xiaoya only feels that the past two days are like a dream, she has eaten enough for two consecutive days, and they are all good things that she has not eaten.

"I borrowed it from my mother-in-law's house." Ye Qiu looked at the eldest girl with a worried face, and sighed again, this family has carried too much weight on this child who is just eleven years old, "Don't worry, the eldest brother will return it soon." ”

Wang Po is the old woman who went to the school to inform Ye Qiu that day, and she lives next door to the Ye family, because the Ye family is poor, even the Ye family itself is not willing to get close, but she has always been very friendly to the Ye family, and often she will help when the Ye family can't get by.

"Eat quickly." Ye Qiu rubbed the eldest girl's head, "What are you doing so worried about when you are young, be careful of becoming ugly, don't worry, if the eldest brother says that there is a way, there must be a way." ”
