Chapter 16 Each has its own division of labor
Out of the village chief's house, Song Lu's face had a relaxed smile.
Song Xingchen took her hand, raised her immature little face and said, "Mother, you see what I said is right, right?" Even the key Mei Niang, who has always disliked me, is rare. β
Song Lu smiled and said: "My old girl is so smart, my mother will listen to you in the future, do you think it?"
"Done!" Song Xingchen nodded vigorously.
Back at home, Song Xingchen told the second sister and the third sister about the village chief's reaction, Song Yang and Song Mutou just came back from herding cattle, and by the way, they also picked some ordinary herbs at the foot of the mountain and brought them back, which could add some silver taels to the family.
Song Xingchen saw that everyone had returned, so he waited to plan his future life with his family when he had dinner for a while.
"I sold a lot of money today, and after a while, I will return to farming, and I will keep this money to buy some good seeds." Song Sanshan drank two mouthfuls of brown rice porridge and said with relief.
Song Xingchen straightened his voice and said seriously: "Daddy, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" As soon as she said this, everyone put down the bowl and looked at her seriously.
This little girl is a big ghost, and she has a lot of good ideas in her head, especially her performance in this period of time, which makes her brothers and sisters admire her, and her father and mother are also impressed by her.
So now in this family, she already has a certain right to speak and a status to express her opinions.
"The eldest brother and the second brother have to go to herd cattle during the day, and when they come back at night, the sky is dark, and they can pick some cheap herbs and sell them for a few dollars. Are you right? β
Song Xingchen first analyzed the current situation of the third room for everyone, and asked them to keep up with her thoughts step by step.
"Yes." Everyone looked at her intently and replied in unison.
Song Xingchen suddenly had a feeling of speaking on the stage, seeing that they all agreed with her statement, she paused again and continued: "I'm almost better now, now we also know what kind of herbs can be sold at a price, and we don't have to dig indiscriminately, my mother can dig it herself, I and the second sister and the third sister are in good health, so we will go to the mountains to collect firewood, everyone has their own division of labor, do you think this arrangement is okay?"
"I think it's okay." Song Yue supported her statement.
"What to do." Song Lushi interrupted her, wrinkled her brows and said, "There are still beasts on the mountain, you three female dolls went in and were watched by the beasts, so can you still run?"
Song Sanshan lit a pinch of tobacco leaves, took two puffs and said, "Your mother is right, what kind of mountain to go to, usually when your eldest brother and second brother come back, just pick up some on the side of the road, you don't need to go."
Song Xingchen was a little anxious when he saw that the two main characters disagreed, "The eldest brother and the second brother are so tired, herding cattle, collecting medicine and collecting firewood, Dad, you can't be so tired, why are you tired?" β
Song Yang saw that the little sister was distressed and her distressed little face was tugging, her nose and eyes were wrinkled, and her heart blossomed.
"It's okay, the eldest brother and the second brother have some energy." He laughed and bent his arm to show her muscles.
"But I also want to do something for the family, so I and the second sister and the third sister will pick it up at the foot of the mountain, can I not go to the mountain?"
Song Xingchen looked at Song Lu pitifully, in order to let the family be able to hold their heads up in the village, stand up straight and speak, their brothers and sisters had already discussed, and they all worked hard to earn money, so that everyone could live a good life.
The more they are looked down upon, the more they have to look up to themselves, and their determination to make money cannot be shaken by anyone.
Seeing that several children were so sensible, Song Lushi wiped away his tears and said: "My baby's life is hard, and my father and mother have no ability to let the children suffer, if you have to go, it's okay, promise your mother not to go far, just go on the hour at the foot of the mountain."
"Mother, what are you crying about, we will definitely get over the better." Song Yue patted Song Lu's back, and she didn't feel good in her heart.
Although Song Xingchen felt uncomfortable when the cheap lady cried, she was used to it, the tear ducts of people in this place were developed and they loved to cry, but she finally agreed.
In this way, it will be convenient for her to get things out of the space in the future, otherwise it will not be a good idea for her to always eat by herself.
Song Xingchen walked over to her legs, shook Song Lu's legs with his little hands and said, "Yes, mother, I promise you, don't cry, the rice soup is going to be cold, and we have to work tomorrow, let's go to sleep."
Song Lushi wiped his tears, drank rice soup in a few sips, and said with a smile: "Okay, my mother doesn't cry, my mother is happy, happy, you are all the meat of my mother's body, seeing that you are still so sensible when you are sinned, the taste in my mother's heart is not comfortable."
"Go to sleep, I'll be hungry for a while." Song Sanshan smacked his cigarette pouch and said that he was a wooden person, but he knew in his heart that he felt uncomfortable watching his wife and children live such a life, but he couldn't say it.
Song Lu took them to sleep, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, the house was small, and several people were crowded uncomfortably, so he simply lay on the straw pile in the yard and slept until dawn.
The next day, everyone went out early, and now each of them has their own division of labor, and they can share a little pressure for the family, so they are full of energy.
Song Xingchen woke up a little later, and it was six o'clock in the morning, and the sun hadn't yet brightened.
"Little sister, are you awake? Shall we both go? Song Yue entered the door with a basket of sun-dried herbs, and happened to see Song Xingchen rubbing his eyes.
"Hmmβlet's go." Song Xingchen hadn't fully opened his eyes, and replied in a daze, his eyes half-open and half-closed, fumbling up to get dressed.
The three of them drank a bowl of water, and one of them carried a basket and went out, all the way to the foot of the mountain, and began to pull the grass and pick up branches, and the sun shone overhead all morning.
"Star, are you hungry?" Song March went over and patted Song Xingchen, who was working hard.
Song Xingchen raised his head, wiped a handful of beads of sweat, and said, "No, I picked up two fruits just now, you and the second sister taste them."
In fact, she was already hungry, and she was about to faint from hunger after picking up the branches for a while, so while they were not paying attention, she secretly went into the space to eat something, and brought out two wild apples by the way.
Song Yueyue took the apple with a smile and ran over to give it to Song Yueyue to eat.
"Second sister, there are apples here." Song March was excited beyond words.
Seeing that the two of them were holding apples as a rarity, eating so happily, Song Xingchen sighed, what can be picked up here, it should be okay to walk inside.
Thinking of her, he walked over, crouched to the side and began to brainwash them.
"Second sister and third sister, why don't we go in again?" Song Xingchen asked tentatively.
"No", I didn't expect Song Yue to veto her idea without raising her head.
