145: Little Master
When dinner time came, Xin'er made dinner by herself as usual, and Youyi went outside to find pigweed.
The original two pigs were killed during the funeral of the Wang family, and now, there is only one pig left in the family, and it is now the only livestock in the family, and the chickens in the family are long gone.
During the meal, Xin'er asked, "Brother, what will we do in the future?" ”
Youyi was blinded by her sudden question, he thought that how could he live, just like that, although his mother went, but in the past few months, the affairs of the family have not been handled by their brothers and sisters, he thinks there should be no problem.
"What else can I do, just like that, otherwise what else do you want?"
Youyi directly said what he thought in his heart, but he thought that his sister would not ask this question suddenly, there must be a reason, so he asked more.
“……”
Xin'er didn't expect her brother to give her such an answer, she couldn't speak for a while, and she didn't know whether to swallow or spit out the food in her mouth, so she was there, making her uncomfortable.
"Brother, what I heard from Grandpa and Grandma in the past two days seems to be that I want my uncle to take care of our family, or they will move over to take care of us."
After a while, the heart that finally swallowed the rice whispered.
"How did I not know this?"
Youyi was very puzzled, he really hadn't heard a word like this in the past two days.
“……”
Xin'er suddenly felt that she really shouldn't discuss this matter with him, but now there are only two brothers and sisters in the family, who else can she tell if she doesn't tell him.
Xin'er sighed deeply before continuing: "I don't know, I just deduced it from Grandpa's words, and I don't know the specifics." ”
"Sister, are you thinking too much?"
Youyi never thought about such a thing at all, and he felt that his heart was thinking too much.
“……”
"Brother, you ......, okay, even if I think too much."
"But, brother, I also want to ask you, if Grandpa and they really say that, will you agree?"
After Xin'er was helpless, he could only ask with assumptions.
"I, I don't know ...... either"
Youyi couldn't answer this question for a while, and he didn't know if he would agree, he thought, if he lived with his uncle, it would be better, but there were two adults in the family to support him, if it was their brother and sister, life would definitely be relatively difficult.
Moreover, the past two years of life have made him more aware of how difficult it is for the family to live without a pillar, if it weren't for the good relationship between their family and the village chief's family, and the grandfather and they also care about them from time to time, maybe what their life will become.
……
"Brother, I don't want to spend time with my uncle."
After thinking about it for a long time, he said in his heart when he put down the bowl after eating.
Youyi hadn't finished eating, and when he heard Xin'er's words, he paused, and then quickly finished eating the rice in the bowl and put the bowl down to look at her.
"Okay."
Youyi didn't ask too much, and directly agreed.
"Brother, don't you even ask me why?"
Seeing that her brother didn't ask, she agreed directly, and Xin'er couldn't help but ask.
"What is there to ask, you are my sister, if you don't want to, how can I force you.
Moreover, my mother told me before leaving, you are my sister, and you are smarter than me, let me take good care of you, let you do more, this matter is not a particularly big deal, we have our own home, land, as long as there is no accident, we will never starve us if we work hard.
So, why should I oppose you in this matter and make you unhappy, I am also twelve years old this year, I can also support a family, even if we don't live with Uncle and them, I will let you live well. ”
Although Youyi regretted Xin'er's decision, he also explained to Xin'er with a sigh of relief for some reason.
"Brother...... you're right, even if we don't live with Uncle and them, we will definitely live well, I believe we will definitely be able to."
Xin'er originally had a lot of things in her heart that she wanted to explain to him, but as soon as she heard his words, she didn't want to explain anything in an instant, since her brother had already said so, why did she bother to do more, the facts in the future would prove that her decision was right.
"Well, you're so capable, we're going to have a good time."
Youyi nodded and said seriously.
"Brother, then we'll make up our minds, if grandma mentions it to you next time, you must not agree."
"Okay, I see, but how are you so sure that grandma will mention it, did you really hear them?"
Youyi is still very curious about this issue, they are already so old, he doesn't think grandma will mention this matter.
"Really, they didn't say it explicitly, but I heard it."
"Oh."
Regarding Xin'er's answer, Youyi didn't say anything more, but responded lightly, still a little skeptical in his heart.
Xin'er didn't say much more, got up and put away the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to wash.
The brother and sister didn't mention tonight's incident again in the following days, and the autumn harvest is coming soon, and the family has to clean up what should be cleaned up.
The brother and sister had already done a lot when the Wang family was still there, and now the rest is just some small things.
The harvest time is getting closer and closer, and there are already people in the village who are starting to harvest the grain one after another, and the Ding family's grain is not particularly yellow, and they can wait for two more days.
On this day, Xin'er went upstairs to look at the food at home, and the new grain came out immediately, and the place where the grain was put had to be cleaned up.
"Brother, is there anything wrong with you? Come up and help me if it's okay. ”
I want to move the grain at home a little outside, and wait for this year's new grain to come out and put it inside, and eat the old grain of the previous year before eating the new one.
In the past, the family had been doing this when the Wang family was still there, and before last year, the family still had five acres of land, and their family only ate for three people, and they didn't sell much, so now there is still a lot of food left in the family.
"Okay, I'll be right up."
Youyi was fine, and quickly went upstairs when he heard her voice.
The second floor of the Ding family's grain store is from a staircase, which was specially built when their father was still there, and although it is not a good wood, it is very strong, and it is made of thick wooden boards.
Ladders made of wooden planks are much safer than wooden sticks, and it is much easier to go up and down, which is the best for the current brother and sister.
The staircase was in the kitchen, and above the kitchen was a small second floor, made of planks and thick logs.
"What's wrong?"
went upstairs, walked a few steps and saw Xin'er.
"Brother, you can help me move all this grain out a little bit, and when the new grain is recovered, I will put it inside."
"Okay."
