Su Jin was digging things under the pomegranate tree, while Xiao Sanli, who had been forgotten, was lying on the bed waiting for his mother to coax him, but he waited and waited but no one came, and he was so hungry that he had to eat everything he could Disgusted sweet potatoes.
When he finished eating, he looked up and saw the house in a mess. Then he remembered that after his mother beat him last night, she said she would clean up the house when he got better.
Xiao Sanli snorted and thought, he won't take care of him. He is the only male in the Xiao family, so Xiao Junqiu should take care of him.
Xiao Junqiu is tall and strong, and is best suited for heavy work. When he turned his head and saw the book that Xiao Junqiu had put on his bedside this morning, Xiao Sanli's face became more bulging.
As soon as he saw the book, he remembered his days in school. He used to like going to school very much. Both his classmates and teachers all liked him.
But since everyone was saying that Xiao Junqiu was his child bride, the classmates suddenly didn't like him. As soon as they saw Xiao Junqiu coming to deliver food, they shouted that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiao family had brought food to her younger husband. Xiao Sanli felt extremely embarrassed.
He came back and asked his mother to explain to everyone that Xiao Junqiu was not his child bride, but his sister. His mother said that his face was ruined and his health was not good. The situation now was no better than before. If he was still the young master of the Xiao family, it would be nothing, but They are now a phoenix in trouble, not as good as a chicken. If they don't catch Xiao Junqiu now, what will happen if he grows up and can't find a wife to carry on the family line?
But how could Xiao Sanli understand? He only knew that he was laughed at by his classmates. Although his husband still liked him as before, the school was no longer his favorite school. He hated studying.
Isn't it just pockmarks on the face? One day, he will make those who look down on him kneel down and admit their mistakes...
Xiao Sanli thought bitterly, then his face suddenly changed and he shouted: "Mom, mother... come on, I need to pee, I need to pee my pants, mother..."
Su Jin was frightened by Xiao Sanli's voice, and with a tremor of her hands, she dug out the box. The wooden box had a hole, and the little goldfish and gold and silver jewelry inside leaked out. Su Jin reflexively looked at the door, and... Well, at noon, the elderly men and women were enjoying the cool under the old trees at the entrance of the village. The young children went to the river or the mountains to find food. Everyone else was in the fields, and no one passed by. People see.
Su Jin couldn't help but cursed herself for being stupid, why did she forget to close the door?
He slowly picked up a copper basin and walked into the house with his little feet in hand. Before he could help Xiao Sanli up, Xiao Sanli, who had been crying out in pain all morning, immediately jumped up and urged Su Jin to go out.
Su Jin walked out slowly again, walked out of the house, took out the treasures that had just been covered with soil, and took them to Xiao Junqiu's house, thinking about how the mother and son could safely transport these things. How about taking it with you to the provincial capital?
There is a war everywhere now and no place is safe. It is really difficult for them to go to the provincial capital. But if they don't go, this place will be plunged into war in a few years. There is also the eldest lady of the Xiang family who inexplicably looks at Jun Qiu differently. Su Jin didn't dare to let down her guard.
The biggest restriction this world places on Su Jin is a pair of small feet. A pair of small feet confines her to this place, and she can't go far anywhere.
Before Su Jin could come up with a solution, Xiao Sanli in the room was calling again. Su Jin walked to the door of the room and said, "Can't you get up? Do your own thing."
"Mom, are you still my mother?" Xiao Sanli was sad. He could get up, but it hurt more if he moved than if he didn't move.
Moreover, he has never done anything like a chamber pot, and he also dislikes whether his own urine is good or not.
"If you think it is, then it is, if you think it is not, then it is not. Anyway, I am tired of worrying about it for six years. From now on, you can make your own decisions. If you don't pee yourself, then you will stink like this." Su Jin knew that Xiao Sanli was different from other six-year-old children, so she didn't treat him like a child.
"This is your house..."
"From now on, it will be my son Xiao Sanli's house. Sanli is the only male in our old Xiao family, so he should live in the main house. My son, my mother will rely on you from now on. Oh my, my little feet are old, my arms and legs are old, I'm very tired from moving. Mom, go lie down and stop calling. I hurt my throat and I don't have the money to get medicine..."
As Su Jin's voice got farther and farther away, Xiao Sanli gradually woke up from his sluggish state. Why were these words so familiar? Wasn't this what his mother said when she asked that silly girl Xiao Junqiu to work? How to use it against him? Do you think he is as stupid as Xiao Junqiu?
But it wasn't until the room gradually darkened and Xiao Sanli didn't see Su Jin coming to tidy up the room for him or move him back to his original room that he believed that his mother really wanted him to work.
Xiao Junqiu's mouth was very tight. Ah Qiao didn't hear what she wanted to know from her mouth, so she regretted saying goodbye to Xiao Junqiu at the door of her house.
When Xiao Junqiu returned home, he consciously went to the kitchen to light up the fire and cooked. After preparing the food, he went to the main house first. He saw his injured brother cleaning up the house. Before he could speak, he rolled his eyes and lay down again. He returned to bed, pointed to the mess on the floor, and said, "No, mother, let me clean it up."
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a slap on the head: "I asked you to take care of it, so you'd better arrange it for your sister."
"Didn't you say she's my wife? It's not natural for my daughter-in-law to do things for me. What about my sister? Go outside and ask who recognizes her as my sister now."
After finishing speaking, he muttered in a low voice: "There is no sound when walking..."
Seeing Xiao Sanli's rogue behavior, Su Jin knew that it was right not to treat him like an ordinary six-year-old child.
"Humph, Waili, An'an, let's go and let him stay like this."
"But my brother is injured. Mom, we are a family with broken bones and connected tendons. Just talk about anything. Don't be so angry. It is the family that is hurt by anger.
I am the eldest sister in the family. I can help my brother clean the house. Mom, I know you feel sorry for me because I am tired after a day of work, but cleaning the house is nothing and I am not tired at all. "
"Since he is not tired at all, there is no need to feel bad for your brother. He will not be tired. He is six years old and not just six months old. If you help him now, will you help him when he is sixty years old?
Listen to what he just said. I don’t know who he learned his rogue look from. It’s nothing like your father. I really loved the wrong person a few years ago..."
As Su Jin spoke, she took Xiao Junqiu away who was packing her things. Xiao Sanli was alone and depressed, and secretly thought, he still felt sorry for her to work for a day, so why did she let others cook for her? Xiao Sanli felt that he was the only one in this family. smart people.
"Mom, haven't you asked me to eat?"
"He would come over to eat when he was hungry. When I saw him getting up today, I said he could move. I obviously didn't hit him hard last night..."
After Su Jin muttered, she took a bite of the food and praised: "Thanks for being the daughter of the Xiao family. This food is well made. If your father sees you like you are now, he will be very pleased. Mom will teach you how to do it in a few days." Embroidery, don't underestimate the little embroidery needle, it is a craft that can make a living. Now thinking about the days in my parents' home, embroidery skills are worth it..."
Hearing Su Jin's words, Xiao Junqiu thought of her father and felt a little sad. If her father was still here... She didn't dare to think about what she would be like now if her father was still here.
Thinking of her father, Xiao Junqiu became more determined to take good care of her mother and younger brother. These were the people her father cared about most during his lifetime, and they were also her relatives. She was her family, and she should take care of her relatives.
