What Xia Luo saw when she entered the yard was such a warm picture of siblings. What was funny was that Xia Yuan was so attentive to Xia He even though she and she were the same mother, shouting "Second sister, second sister" more than anyone else. affectionate.
She put the straw basket in her hand at the door with a bang, and went to the sink to wash her face with a cold face, the coldness on her body was overwhelming.
The three people playing around subconsciously stopped. Xihe put the egg in Xia Yuan's hand and patted his butt: "Half and half for each of Aning."
The two little guys cheered and ran away with the eggs.
After Xihe finished eating, he washed the bowls and put them in the kitchen. He went back to the house to get his hat, put it on and went out without saying a word to Xia Luo.
Anyway, they don't have a good relationship, so she just got in touch with her. Xia Luo might have thought she had some conspiracy, so she might as well keep away from her.
At this time, around nine o'clock, most people had gone to the fields, and everyone greeted her when they saw her.
"Xiaohe, don't you have a fever? Why don't you have a good rest at home?"
Upon hearing this, she knew that Mrs. Xia had found the reason for her.
"That's better. Auntie, do you want some water? I brought water."
Upon hearing this, the aunts who were taking a break from their busy life looked at each other, oh, why did Xia He become so enthusiastic all of a sudden? Could it be that I got a good marriage and am happy?
All the aunts felt that they had discovered the truth and stopped what they were doing.
"Then you're welcome. Auntie happens to be thirsty."
Everyone came over to pour water. This little girl usually has eyes on the top of her head. Let alone drinking water, she could hardly even say hello. It was not easy to drink her water.
After drinking, he patted Xihe on the shoulder and pointed not far away: "Changqing is there, go quickly."
Xihe couldn't laugh or cry. Did they think she was here to see Ji Changqing?
He went straight towards the path to find Mrs. Xia who was busy working.
Although Mrs. Xia was quite inappropriate in dealing with the original owner, she had nothing else to say and worked diligently.
The team has selected people as 'model workers' several times, and every time Mrs. Xia is on the list, working as hard as a man, and the leaders always praise her when they come to inspect.
Under the scorching sun, the thin old lady was cutting the grass quickly with her hands and feet.
Xihe walked over and shouted. Mrs. Xia turned her head in confusion. Seeing that she had water and a wet towel, she frowned: "Why do I need this? It's a waste of time."
But he couldn't stop the smile on his face, and it was obvious that his concern for his precious granddaughter was very helpful.
After wiping and drinking water, he quickly pushed her: "Chang Qing is there, go quickly."
Xihe: "..."
Why do you think she should go find Ji Changqing?
Being pushed, Xihe reluctantly walked towards where Ji Changqing was working.
They took leave to return to their hometown at a time when farming was busy, and finally came back just in time to earn work points for the family.
Before Xi He came close, Ji Changye saw him and pushed his brother: "Brother, Xia He is here to see you." Ji Changqing wiped his sweat, turned his head, and saw a girl wearing long sleeves and a hat looking towards him. Come this way.
Ji Changye said in a disgusted tone: "It's packed tightly. How does it look like a working person?"
Ji Changqing didn't speak and worked in silence until he heard someone calling him, "Does he need some water?" He stood up, put down the hoe in his hand, walked over and took the military kettle from the girl's hand, raised his head and drank it fiercely.
After finishing the drink, he handed it to her and said his first words to Xihe: "Can you ride a bicycle?"
Xihe was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously. The original owner had borrowed someone else's bicycle to ride it, and he could barely do it.
Ji Changqing took out a bunch of keys from his military trousers: "The bucket is in the kitchen, and the tea is on the tea cabinet in the main room. You boil the water and push it over on your bicycle."
He explained, "We'll start harvesting the wheat in a moment, and we don't have time."
Xihe understood that in this land, both adults and children were busy people, and she was the only idle one, so the job of boiling water was left to her.
Mrs. Xia was afraid that her girl would be tired, and the original owner was also lazy, so the original owner only occasionally did some light work to earn work points. Most of the time, he lay at home and had a leisurely life, but his reputation for laziness also spread. .
The four- and five-year-old children in the village knew how to cut grass and feed the pigs and chickens, but the original owner did nothing.
Xihe blushed a little and hurriedly took the key: "Okay, I understand."
Ji Changqing nodded, turned around and continued working.
Staring at Xia He's fleeing back, Ji Changye couldn't help but poke his brother: "What did you say? Also, did you give her the key to our house? I heard that her hands and feet are not clean. If anything happens, How about stealing something..."
Ji Changqing looked at him indifferently. Ji Changye shrank his shoulders and returned to his work area dejectedly.
"Ji Changqing actually ordered you! He has such a big face, Xihe, we won't do it!"
Gouzi was indignant. She wasn't even married yet, and he started to tell her what to do. Who did he think he was? Mrs. Xia doesn't want her to work!
Xihe opened the door of Ji's house with the key: "He may be trying to help me restore my reputation."
The Xia family is more spacious than the Ji family. In addition to the five rooms, there is also a utility room. The roof is covered with shiny tiles. It looks quite impressive among the thatched houses. There is also a well in the yard. Fetching water is very convenient.
Xihe found tea leaves, got some well water, and started to boil water. He saw some dandelions in the corner and picked some.
However, in front of the stove, Xihe fell into silence looking at the withered grass.
She can't make a fire...
Crunch——
Just then, there was the sound of the door opening.
As soon as she stood up, a tall figure walked to the door. Seeing her holding the withered grass, his eyes seemed helpless: "You don't know how to make a fire?"
Xihe blinked, she originally wanted Gouzi to help.
Ji Changqing came over, and the two pieces of flint caught fire without knowing how.
He added a few firewood inside, waited for the raging fire to burn, opened the pot and looked at it, then went to the main room, and when he came back there was a bottle of canned food in his hand, and handed it to her: "Eat it."
Xihe: "..."
Suddenly I didn't want him to die.
Xihe silently took it. It was a bottle of canned meat. This thing is very valuable these days.
Ji Changqing saw that she hadn't opened it, so he took it and opened it a few times and put it in her hand. There was a small spoon inside, which was perfect for scooping out food.
Xihe tasted it and thought it tasted pretty good, but she had just come from an era of abundant supplies and was not particularly greedy. After two bites, she didn't particularly want to eat it.
Ji Changqing frowned: "Don't like it?"
The tone was a bit deep, and it seemed like, 'You don't like eating such good food, do you want to go to heaven?'
Xihe curled his fingertips and lowered his head: "I just finished breakfast..."
Ji Changqing was silent for a long time, then took it and closed the lid: "Take it back when you leave."
The two of them had nothing to talk about. The fire crackled and the water in the cauldron began to steam. Xihe looked sideways and noticed that Ji Changqing had sweat on his forehead and his back was wet.
