Chapter 3: The Forced Summer Child Labor

Early in the morning, Su Xi, who was still asleep, no, should be called Xia Yinghan now, was woken up by a "clang" sound, and before he could react to what was going on, he saw Xia He aggressively pushing open the door and breaking in, and when he saw Xia Yinghan lying on the bed, he yelled angrily: "When is it not enough to get up, hurry up and do my laundry and cooking, don't lie on the bed and pretend to be dead, I will also drink a medicine yesterday, and if you don't work anymore, I won't pick your skin!" With that, he walked out of the room.

Xia Yinghan looked out from the door of the wide open room, and saw that the sky was just cloudy, and she didn't know what time it was without a mobile phone, but Daning Kingdom was now late summer and early autumn, and according to this season, it was only four or five o'clock in the morning.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, for Xia Yinghan, who is used to going to bed late and waking up late in modern times, getting up at this point is too painful. But there is no way, she is now a person under the eaves and has to bow her head, in this ancient time when women's social status was low, it is impossible for a girl's family not to be attached to the family to survive alone. Before there was a detailed plan, Xia Yinghan could only pretend to be a grandson for a while.

Smash it, smash it, feel a bitter taste in the mouth, thinking about it yesterday in a daze, I felt that someone told me to pour something into me again, it should be that I was fed medicine at that time. I moved my body, although I felt a little tired, but it should be just a weakness after fever and sweating. She put on her coat and went out, and saw Xia Xia He standing in the courtyard and staring at her coldly.

Seeing her get up and go out of the door, she snorted heavily, turned around and walked into the next room, and shook the door with a "clang".

Xia Yinghan stood in the courtyard for a while, and there was no sound in the room, this is going back to sleep again!?

“…… Depend on! Xia Yinghan couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

I endure.

In the early morning of this season, there was already a little coolness in the air, Xia Yinghan rubbed his arms, tightened his clothes, looked around, and saw a large water tank in front of a room at the gate of the courtyard, walked over and rinsed his mouth with a scoop of water, diluting the bitter taste in his mouth. She looked into the room next to her, it was the fire room of the Xia family.

Walking into the room and looking at the stove in front of him, Xia Yinghan couldn't help but sigh, this kind of ancient firewood stove is rare in modern rural areas, but fortunately, he signed up for a rural summer camp in order to find inspiration and used this kind of stove.

When Xia Yinghan was looking for firewood and wanted to make a fire, there was a slight sound of footsteps at the door.

"Cousin."

With a strange and somewhat familiar voice sounded, a thin figure appeared at the door, looking at the girl in front of her, Xia Yinghan thought that since she was called the original owner's "cousin", then this should be the heroine Xia Yingwei, yesterday Xia Yinghan was confused and didn't pay much attention to the people around her, now look carefully, the girl in front of her has a delicate melon seed face, and the curved willow eyebrows are called a pair of Ruifeng eyes, elegant and charming, although at this time because of malnutrition, the skin is a little dull yellow, But it can already be seen that in a few years it will be a rare beauty.

Xia Yinghan watched Xia Yingwei walk to the rice tank in the corner of the room, grabbed two handfuls of rice from it and put them in the bamboo basket, scooped water from the water tank and scooped it up, thinking that Xia Yingwei was the same as the original owner, as the only two girls in the family who were not welcomed, most of the things in the family were assigned to them, so Xia Yingwei would get up to work before dawn.

In modern times, this is the naked use of child labor!

"Cousin, are you okay today?"

Xia Yingwei's greeting brought back Xia Yinghan's thoughts, although she decided to stay away from the heroine, but now that the two are under the same roof, they can't look up and look down, so they can only stay tepid first.

"Hmm...... I've slept much better yesterday, thank you, cousin, you fed me the medicine yesterday, right? Although it was a doubt, Xia Yinghan knew that it was possible for someone like Xia He to boil medicine for her.

"Hmm." Xia Yingwei's voice was so cold that she couldn't hear her joy and anger, "I don't think the eldest aunt should go to ask for a doctor, I saw that there was still some coptis picked from the mountain in the past, so I boiled water for my cousin to drink, and it seems that the effect is not bad." ”

Xia Yinghan knew that in ancient times, poor people did not ask for a doctor as soon as they were sick, and generally minor illnesses either survived by themselves, or they dug some herbs and boiled water to drink according to home remedies, but that kind of thing is something that only adults do, and children in the family will still ask a doctor to see if they are sick, but unfortunately Xia Yinghan does not have this kind of treatment.

Tut-tut, Xia Yinghan, this bitter baby.

Putting the rice in the pot and boiling, Xia Yingwei took out a small piece of pickles from the cabinet, shredded it and put it on the plate, and put the brown rice steamed buns left over from last night on another stove. On the other side, Xia Yinghan added some seasoning to the blanched wild vegetables left over from the fire room to make a cold salad.

After half an hour, the rest of the Xia family also got up one after another. Bringing breakfast to the dining table, Xia Yinghan saw the rest of the Xia family.

Mr. Xia, the head of the Xia family, is over 60 years old this year, he took the township examination when he was young and got a child, and his wife Mrs. Xia is nearly ten years younger than him, and she is also in her fifties this year. The two have three sons and one daughter. The eldest son Xia Anguang, who is more competitive than the old man, was admitted to Xiucai, and now teaches in a private school in the town, but unfortunately he is a real nerd, and he likes to pretend to be high, his wife Xia He, is the daughter of the landlord of Xinghe Village next door, is a well-known evil mother-in-law in Pingsi Village, the two have two sons and a daughter, the daughter is Xia Yinghan, who is fifteen years old this year, but not born to Xia He, is a child born to Xia Anguang and his ex-wife, the eldest son Xia Mingyu is fourteen years old this year, and the youngest son Xia Minghui is five years old this year, Both sons were born to Xia Anguang and Xia He; The second son, Xia Anzong, is a retired soldier, who unfortunately broke his leg on the battlefield in the early years of joining the army, and then was sent back to Pingsi Village, usually weaving rattan baskets for a living, because of his honest personality, so he is a little transparent in the Xia family, and his wife is the deceased Yunzhu, the two have a daughter, that is, Xia Yingwei, who is only two days younger than Xia Yinghan, and the Xia family does not know that she is actually not a child of the Xia family at all, except for Xia Anzong; The third son, Xia Anyao, was a generous man, worked as a housekeeper in a large family in the town, and later married the son of this family and gave birth to a son, who is seventeen years old this year, that is, Xia Mingzhi, who came back with Xia Yinghan that day; The only daughter of the two elders is named Xia Luzhu, because she is an old woman, Mrs. Xia is very fond of her, she is eighteen years old this year, because she can't look down on the people in the village, so she has not found her in-law until now.
