Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuzhen were busy at home all day, and after the ground was almost cleaned up, they went to the field to drag some dirt back to lay the foundation.

Originally, Zhao Yuzhen wanted his younger brother to use a tractor to tow him twice, but Zhou Guoqiang felt that it was not good to trouble his brother-in-law all the time, and besides, the road was not very good, and it was very troublesome to drive the car in. He insisted on pulling back with a flatbed truck, but fortunately, it didn't take half an hour to go back and forth in the field not far from home, so Zhao Yuzhen had to pick up a shovel and dig in the ground.

While the two of them were busy, they did not forget to go to the market to do business at the time of the market, and they couldn't leave the business behind at this time. You must know that you have to use money everywhere to build a house, and the money for the two of them is enough to buy materials, but the wages are still poor.

Zhou Guoqiang thought that he could pay part of his salary first, and pay it off slowly after a while. Several of the bricklayers invited were acquaintances, and one of the three in the village had Sun Min's father. The villagers are probably no problem owing some wages.

When the foundation was almost mated with soil, the bricklayers began to do things every day, first laying a solid foundation and then laying a pile line and then starting to build the wall, and the Zhou family was busy all day long.

Zhou Guoqiang was responsible for transporting bricks and delivering bricks, and his work was very heavy, and he was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist at night. He didn't have time to go to the market, so he let Zhao Yuzhen go to the market alone, and Zhao Yuzhen had to cook a lot of people's meals after returning from business, and he was tired enough.

Zhao Yuzhen was just in her thirties at this time, her body was strong and strong, and in the afternoon, she couldn't help pushing a wheelbarrow to transport bricks with Zhou Guoqiang, her tired hands and feet were weak, but her face was full of joy.

Zhou Xiaoyun lived in his uncle's house for a while and slept in the same bed with his cousin Zhou Xiaoxia. Dabao was very happy to live, and he watched cartoons with Zhou Zhihai every day, and later he didn't even go back to eat, and he ate directly at Zhou Guofu's house.

Zhou Xiaoyun didn't bother to say that he probably couldn't move him, she went to help Zhao Yuzhen cook every day as soon as she came home from school.

Because there were seven or eight people eating at noon, making lunch became a huge project. Zhao Yuzhen couldn't take care of the distress at this time, and burned some pork for a few people to eat every day.

If you don't eat well, how can you have the strength to do things well? Zhao Yuzhen thinks about this very clearly. Therefore, at least three or four dishes are cooked at noon every day, so that a bunch of men can eat to their heart's content.

Zhou Xiaoyun was very distressed when he saw his parents busy and tired, but he was still seven years old and couldn't help much. The bricklayer who built the house kept building the wall, and she couldn't do the heavy work of transporting bricks.

Zhou Xiaoyun had to pick up some things she could do and do more, Zhao Yuzhen cooked, she lit the fire, and after eating, she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, washed and washed all of them were covered by Zhou Xiaoyun.

Seeing that her daughter shared some of the housework for herself, Zhao Yuzhen was very happy, so that she could move more bricks in this way.

Later, Zhou Xiaoyun began to bring the family's clothes over to wash. She first washed her socks and stuff, and then she washed all her clothes.

Zhao Yuzhen felt a little sorry for her daughter, look at how such an older child is so caring and sensible?

Fortunately, he didn't change his clothes frequently in the cold weather, and it was not heavy to wash his socks every day, and Zhou Xiaoyun washed his clothes at most once a week. It's not a lot of work.

Zhou Xiaoxia was a little puzzled when she saw that Zhou Xiaoyun was busy working until dark every day before coming to sleep with her: "Big girl, why didn't you come until now." I was watching TV with Haizi Dabao just now, and now I'm putting on a cartoon that is particularly good. Your family is building a house, what are you doing at home? ”

Zhou Xiaoyun was undressing: "I helped boil some hot water, then swept the floor again, and finally washed the clothes before coming." The family is so busy, of course I can help a little better! ”

Zhou Xiaoxia pursed her lips disappreciatively: "That's all an adult's business, what can we children do." You're pretty good at things, haven't I ever washed my socks yet? ”

Zhou Xiaoyun smiled after hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxia was much more favored than Zhou Zhihai at home.

The uncle's family has two children, Zhou Xiaoxia and Dabao are two months older than the same age, and two years older than their younger brother Zhou Zhihai.

is also a girl, but Zhou Xiaoxia's status at home is completely different from herself. Uncle and aunt both prefer their daughters, as can be seen from Zhou Xiaoxia's new clothes throughout the year.

Zhou Xiaoyun folded his clothes one by one and stacked them neatly, and Zhou Xiaoxia was a little embarrassed after reading it. I took off my clothes and threw them all over the bed, which is a ridiculous comparison.

Zhou Xiaoxia got up a little reluctantly and folded her clothes.

She is also wondering in her heart: Obviously the eldest girl is three years younger than herself, why does she seem to be better than herself everywhere?

Listening to his younger brother say that Zhou Xiaoyun's grades are among the best in the class and even the grade, Zhou Xiaoxia's learning is only a little bit better than Dabao, and Zhou Xiaoyun is too far behind, although she is one grade higher than Zhou Xiaoyun, but watching her do her homework is much more slippery than herself.

Let's talk about doing things, Zhou Xiaoxia basically doesn't do anything at home, and it can be regarded as a rare rural girl who doesn't lift five taels.

As for Zhou Xiaoyun, he can play the harmonica, write calligraphy, cook, brush dishes, make shuttlecocks, make sandbags, wrap buns, and wash clothes...... It's simply ...... It's too strong!

After comparing it in her heart for a long time, Zhou Xiaoxia completely admitted that she was indeed inferior to Zhou Xiaoyun everywhere.

However, Zhou Xiaoxia thought happily that she looked much more beautiful than her.

In all fairness, Zhou Xiaoyun is still young, and her facial features haven't opened much, but she is just a delicate little girl who is at most pleasing to the eye.

Zhou Xiaoxia is ten years old, she is a little taller, her facial features are really beautiful, and Shen Huafeng often buys new clothes for her to wear, and she is also a fashionable girl in the countryside.

It's like Zhou Xiaoyun, who wears her leftover clothes all day long, some of which don't fit well, and naturally can't be compared with her.

Zhou Xiaoyun didn't pay attention to Zhou Xiaoxia, who was in a daze, thinking that she would have to get up early the next day to make breakfast for the family, so she fell asleep.
