That Era (2)
There are many girls in the village, but not many go out to work.
They are all at home to help take care of their younger siblings, and they also have to take care of all the housework at home, if you have spare time, you might as well go to the fields to help. However, after all, everything is done, and it is really tiring.
At that time, every household grew crops such as corn and wheat, and fertilizer was very valuable. I can't even eat fish and meat on weekdays, so where can I get the money to buy fertilizer?
In this way, it is replaced by pure natural fertilizer, and the manure of people, poultry, cattle and sheep are all treasures.
Don't think it's disgusting or ridiculous, the first thing many children do when they come home from school is to pick up feces, or even grab them. Then, all the manure is packed into a stone pit, compacted with a shovel, and finally becomes a dry "fertilizer".
She is trivial about such things, if she doesn't go to school to pick up feces every day, it will be too easy, and she herself feels that it is impossible to do it a few times.
Because she is not small, she has a lot of strength, and she really looks good when she does her work, and when others praise her, she has enough strength to do it, and if she sows seeds, she finishes sowing in a long strip, and the rest of the people in the field are only half gone. Neighbors often talk to her parents about how diligent and smart she is......
Looking back to this day, she just feels that she was still a child at that time, and a compliment is better than a mint-flavored candy. As everyone knows, how tired she is, even if she has no strength, she has to pretend that she still has the courage to be motivated.
The eldest sister still helped her, but the second sister was different, she was thin and weak, and she seemed to be able to blow away with a gust of wind, and she was just helping the family cook and wash clothes for a day. Therefore, she not only did her own work, but also included her second sister and brother's share.
This heavy burden weighed on her, and although in fact it was self-inflicted, she could enjoy it.
After a long period of work, she was no longer white, the more she tanned, her skin began to become rough, and her hands that should have been immature were already full of calluses.
In her eyes, it is not enough to care, she still goes out early and returns late.
After all, she is still just a child, so she will naturally have inertia and playfulness, how could she not have it?
Sometimes she has a big bag tied around her waist, shuttling through the cotton field to pick cotton, she feels very boring, isn't it just grabbing the cotton that is as soft as a cloud and throwing it into the bag with one hand? She would stand there and shout again and again that she was tired, over and over again, without feeling tired, until her mother said, "Don't shout, go back and help your sister cook and bring us food." ”
Before the words fell, she had already turned into a rabbit and had already jumped out.
When she got home, she wouldn't really help cook obediently, learn the posture of an adult, and urge the second sister to cook more cheerfully, don't procrastinate, and pull out that her parents are already hungry with their chests and backs. Actually, she was the one who starved people.
Looking at the fragrant food, if you eat it secretly, you will be slapped by the second sister with chopsticks, so she always leads the sheep unconsciously and leaves.
The second sister didn't wait for her to eat, and forced her to send food to her parents before eating, she puffed out her cheeks, blew, and flew back reluctantly, eating rice and vegetables together, in the eyes of the second sister, there was a little girl, obviously a wild boy!
