In this rural area, the children of every family start working when they are young, but the children have little strength, and adult men generally do more heavy work like picking and lifting.

There was no man in the Lin family, so all these tasks fell to the Lin family.

In the past, the Lin family was generally doing the things of carrying water at home, after all, Bai Xia was still a little doll, and it was okay to do some work such as cutting pigweed, feeding pigs, and cooking, and other heavy jobs such as fetching water and lifting these still couldn't be done.

So when she saw Bai Xia coming out to fetch water, Li Erpo couldn't help but call it evil.

Bai Xia didn't know these thoughts in her heart.

She went to the well and looked inside, and sure enough, the water level had risen a lot from the afternoon.

She beat the water neatly, and it was still only half a bucket.

This water, if you save a little, is enough for their family to use water for a day.

She carried the water and staggered towards the house.

This body is still too small

When she finished picking up the water and went back, Li Xiuyuan had already finished breakfast, she went to the kitchen to take a look, okay, it was clean again, I don't know if it was Lin who ate it, or Li Xiuyuan, the kid who ate it

But Bai Xia didn't care.

If you want to eat well, you still have to work hard with your own hands, and what you earn is your own.

After sending Li Xiuyuan, she put the straw hat in the yard to dry, and she carried the basket up the mountain, first looked at the fish net in the ditch, unfortunately there were no new fish from yesterday to today, but the net was broken because of some stuck fish struggled.

She repaired the net and put it down again.

I didn't expect to catch fish every day.

After setting up the net, she went up the mountain to collect pigweed to feed the pigs, and after feeding the pigs, she went to pick wild vegetables.

She walked to the place where she usually picks wild vegetables, and there are many fewer wild vegetables here, one is that she picks more, and the other is that other families in the village have also begun to let their children come out to pick wild vegetables.

It's just half in the morning, and today's weather is much hotter than yesterday.

Bai Xia walked up the mountain a little more, and could see the scattered children on the mountain, all pulling in the field.

Since Bai Xia came to Lijia Village, she didn't talk much, she was very muna, except for helping the Lin family with her work, she didn't play with the children in the village, so when she saw these children, she found that she didn't know as many as five fingers.

I'm afraid this is no longer Muna, it's a bit of a social fear, right?

She didn't go to greet them, she just looked for them slowly.

After finding the wild vegetables, they picked them neatly.

Bai Xia picked wild vegetables very quickly, and after a while, he cleared a piece of land and walked towards the next childless place.

"Why is Sanya's movement so fast, we came earlier than her, and we didn't pick it up as much as her"

"Hmph, then let's hurry up, otherwise she will finish picking it up"

"My mother said that if I don't fill the basket, I won't be allowed to eat today."

A few children muttered, stimulated by Bai Xia's speed of picking wild vegetables, and also accelerated the speed of picking wild vegetables.

The greenery on the mountain is beginning to bald with the naked eye.

It was almost noon when it was almost noon, and Bai Xia was almost unable to straighten his waist.

On the other hand, there are only so many half-back baskets.

There are fewer and fewer wild plants.

Bai Xia frowned without delay, and went home to start making lunch.

It's still the same porridge with wild vegetables.

After eating, not long after Lin went out, Bai Xia boiled a pot of mint water to cool, and the straw hat in the yard dried out.

She wore one by herself, with a turban in her hat, but she didn't feel embarrassed, and with a small half bucket of mint water in her other hand, and two bowls on her back, she walked towards the farmland.

"Mother, what do you think I brought?"

Seeing Lin, she couldn't help but put a straw hat on Lin's head.

Lin's head, which was originally so hot that it was about to smoke, suddenly cooled down a lot, and the scolding that he was going to say was silently put back, and he praised: "Our three girls are really capable."

After speaking, his eyes looked at the water that Bai Xia brought over and licked his lips.

After working for a few days, facing the sun every day, even if she was wrapped in a headscarf, Lin's face was inevitably sunburned, and when she ate at noon, she also found that her face was already a little peeling, which was the rhythm of sunburn.

There is also a rope under this straw hat made by Bai Xia, as long as it is tied up, it will not fall off easily.

Lin Shi drank a bowl of water, and his heart was a lot cooler.

"Sanya, where did you get this hat?"

"I made it up, how's that? Is it cool or not? ”

Bai Xia is a little proud, although this thing is rough, she can't bear to not make it up here, even if it is put into modern times, she can be regarded as promoting intangible cultural heritage, right? After all, there are fewer and fewer craftsmen who can make these things.

Although Bai Xia made a water carryer, Lin didn't expect that this hat would be made by Bai Xia for a while, and when she heard that she made it herself, she was taken aback, and pointed to the other three hats on her back and said, "Then you are ...... these"

"I'm going to sell it to my uncles and uncles, it's getting hotter and hotter, it's not easy for everyone, it's much easier to have a hat to shade the sun."

Bai Xia smiled and said her plan, although she felt that she didn't need to ask the Lin family's opinion, but after all, it was a family, if she did it quietly, it would be a little bad.

Lin was silent, she didn't hit Bai Xia, but she didn't encourage her, she just said: "It's nothing to sell some crafts in the village, don't sell anything else."

After speaking, he didn't look at Bai Xia's reaction, and walked in the direction of the river with the bucket.

Bai Xia didn't understand it at first, but then he understood it after thinking about it.

The Lin family let Li Xiuyuan study at such a young age, they should have wanted him to go through the official career, they are farmers, if she does business, she may be judged as a merchant by the government, and then it will inevitably lead to Li Xiuyuan not being able to participate in the imperial examination.

It's just that the Lin family will not worry too early.

She's just going to sell a few straw hats.

Bai Xia rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then shouted in the field.

"Sell...... Straw hats"

"A straw hat that can keep out the wind and rain"

The girl's voice was clear and crisp, and soon it spread through the field.

"Sanya, what is your straw hat?"

Coincidentally, the first person to greet Bai Xia was an acquaintance, who was the remarriage candidate introduced by Li Xu to the Lin family, Li Sansheng in the village.

"Third uncle, look, my straw hat, don't look at it as big, but put it on your head, hey, you can't see the sun on it."

"There is still a rope at the bottom of the head, as long as the rope is tied, it doesn't matter whether it is to carry water or go to the ground, pull weeds or fertilize, it will not fall."

"If it's raining, this straw hat can still keep out the rain"

Bai Xia was articulate and talked endlessly.

Li Sansheng stopped her, she was already a little curious about this thing, but now when she heard her say this, she couldn't help but ask, "Then how do you sell this straw hat?" ”

It's right to the point.

"It's not expensive, it's just such a straw hat, it only costs two pennies"

"Hey, just like that, it costs two pennies?"

The other people in the fields who were listening with their ears stretched out couldn't help but exclaim.

Bai Xia didn't care, seeing that Li Sansheng frowned and didn't answer, and didn't say whether to buy it or not, she directly bent down and hit a bowl of mint water and handed it to him, "Third uncle, you taste it, this is the mint water I boiled, in this weather, it can relieve the heat."

Li Sansheng heard that it could relieve the heat, and besides, it was just a bowl of water, so he was not embarrassed, so he took it and drank it.

As soon as he took a sip, he discovered the benefits of this water, which was refreshing and cool, much more comfortable than drinking plain water.

"You bought my straw hat, and I'll give you another pot of mint water, so that you can work for a day and get a little less hot" Seeing him drink the water, Bai Xia said with a smile.

"Cheng, I bought it" Li Sansheng handed the kettle to Bai Xia "filled it with water"

As he spoke, he touched two pennies from his bosom and handed them to Bai Xia.

"Okay, I'll fetch you water."
