Chapter 18: Sudden generosity

Xie Xiaonian was about to refute, when he heard Father Xie say: "Xiao Nian can't finish chopping firewood alone, so Dabao, when you go to work and herd sheep, you also take the opportunity to pick up some firewood and come back." In the autumn, when it is time to stock up on firewood for burning the kang in the winter, there is more firewood needed, so everyone picks up firewood and chops firewood. ”

"Yes, Dad, I see." Xie Dabao didn't think there was anything wrong with picking up some firewood, anyway, he didn't have anything to do when he went to work except herding sheep and cutting grass for them.

When Xie Xiaonian saw that the manual work of collecting firewood was shared, and Xie Dabao was still a relatively capable person, he was a little relieved.

Although the work assigned by himself is still the heaviest and the most, it is much better than the original owner's all-inclusive, and if you are quick with your hands and feet, you can also spare some time to come out.

"In addition, your mother is still responsible for the work in the chicken pen, and when the field is busy, Xiaozhi will help your mother feed the chickens. I am still in charge of the vegetable field at home, and Xiaobao and Xiaoye are still the same as before, picking up some dung when they go to and from school, so that they can get together our family's task dung as soon as possible. As for the rest, I'll talk about it then. Father Xie then distributed.

Wu Lihua is personally responsible for the chickens at home, not because she is diligent, but because she wants to prevent someone from stealing eggs, this egg is her baby, and she has to touch the chicken butt every night to see how many eggs can be laid the next day.

And early every morning, the first thing Wu Lihua does after getting up is to go to the chicken coop to pick up eggs.

Because the team will regularly collect manure from each family as fertilizer for the field, the amount of manure is measured in baskets, and the work is divided according to the quantity.

And each family's own land should also be fertilized, and the pig manure and chicken manure at home are simply not enough, so every child who cannot do any physical work will carry a dung basket and a manure shovel before and after school to pick up the manure of cattle, donkeys, pigs, chickens and other poultry on the road to the village and at the foot of the mountain.

These will be collected together and handed in or poured into their own manure pits, and then some straw, leaves, etc. will be put together, and the manure will be used as fertilizer, so that there will be more fertilizer, and there will be no fear of fertilizer burning the crops.

However, this dung is not easy to pick up, usually the village poultry family, when the sheep, chickens, etc. are pulled outside, the owner sees it, and shovels it away at that time, how many can be picked up by others.

Therefore, Xie Xiaobao and Xie Xiaoye's work is almost nothing.

Xie Xiaonian, who was treated unfairly, didn't say anything, and others would definitely not object.

Especially Xie Xiaobao, 12 years old, 13 years old, he only needs to pick up dung, and he doesn't have to do anything else, he is the most relaxed, and other children can do a lot of work at this age.

Seeing that everyone did not object, Father Xie said, "Okay, it's decided." ”

"Dad, I was supposed to go to school this afternoon, but now I'm out of school, I want to go to school tomorrow to tell the teacher, just go and get my things back." Xie Xiaonian said.

"Well, okay, then we will officially start doing our own work from the day after tomorrow." After speaking, Father Xie also took out 5 dimes from his pocket happily.

After handing the money to Xie Xiaonian, he said, "This is the fare for you, and the remaining dime, you can buy something to eat at noon." ”

Xie Xiaonian didn't expect that Father Xie could give her the fare immediately, and this sudden generosity made her a little flattered.

Since she went to high school, Father Xie has been grinding and chirping every time, and when Xie Xiaonian is leaving, he will criticize her and give her money.

And most of the time, she was not given travel expenses, and Xie Xiaonian was asked to carry the rations on her back and go to school.

Not only did he give it today, but he also gave her an extra 1 cent, it seems that Father Xie is happy from the bottom of his heart about Xie Xiaonian's withdrawal from school.

Xie Xiaonian himself felt a little sad, the conditions at home were enough to provide for 3 children to go to school, but Xie's father felt that Xie Xiaonian was a waste of money to go to school, so he asked her to drop out of school, where is this a real father, what should be done!
