The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 663 Uneven Division of Labor
The Yao Family Courtyard has always had a tradition on February [-]nd. On this day, everyone dances dragon and lion dances, which is very lively.Rehearsals were delayed because of the big bug thing, and now I have to make up for it all.

The village chief also agrees with this statement. February [-] is a big day for them here. If nothing big happens, it must not be changed.

After a while, the sound of gongs and drums rang out in the village. The sound was deafening and made everyone unable to sleep anymore.

Bai Meixi kept observing the movements outside, and after making sure there was no danger around her, she got back into the space through the attic door.

"Sister, you're back." Jiu Sheng had been staying in the bedroom of the space. He was very happy to see Bai Meixi come in. He rushed forward and hugged Bai Meixi, with tears in his eyes.

"What's wrong? I haven't been back for a day and you miss me so much." Bai Meixi touched Jiu Sheng's forehead lovingly and checked the homework on his desk. During this period, Jiu Sheng could not go to school, but Bai Meixi did not dare to slack off at all, and took advantage of this period to tutor the nine students in reading day and night. Now they have almost read the textbooks in elementary school, and there will be no problem in going directly to middle school when school starts.

"Sister, you haven't come back all day and night." Jiu Sheng felt aggrieved and lay weakly in Bai Meixi's arms.

He was usually lively and lively, but now his appearance shocked Bai Meixi. She thought he was seriously ill, so she touched his forehead with her hand.

Suddenly she heard Jiu Sheng's stomach growling non-stop. It looked like he had been hungry for a long time.She suddenly remembered that she left in a hurry today and didn't leave any food for Jiu Sheng. There was a lot of food in the big kitchen, but the people there didn't know Jiu Sheng at all, and it was not convenient to see him. Made it to now.

"You're hungry, why didn't you tell me earlier? Wait here, I'll be back soon." Bai Meixi quickly started a fire in her yard, prepared a few home-cooked dishes, and filled a large bowl of noodles for Jiu. born.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, bacon and cabbage, as well as boiled shrimps and fried gluten, all delicious and delicious, filling the table.

The portion of this meal was more than the three meals. Jiu Sheng devoured it. After a while, the bottom of the bowl of noodles was gone, and even the dishes on the plates had only a little bit of grease left.

With Bai Meixi's care, Jiu Sheng lived a good life, but he couldn't bear his restless and playful temperament. After staying in the space for two days, he finally couldn't stand it anymore on the third day and started yelling. want to go out.

"Sister, I want to go back to the village and have a look." Jiu Sheng grabbed Bai Meixi's arm and acted coquettishly. Bai Meixi was always the most clueless about such children's tricks.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Meixi agreed to his request. After all, the big insect had not been seen in the village for several days. Maybe it fled away after being injured and was not around the village. It would be safe for Jiu Sheng to go back.

Jiu Sheng's purpose of returning to the village this time was to check out the situation outside for Bai Meixi, but the news he brought back was not optimistic.

The two elders of the married family are still in the hospital and have not returned. The eldest sister-in-law has become everyone's free nanny. Not only does she have to serve her parents-in-law in the hospital, but she also has to go home to work and prepare for the spring sowing of the next year. She is busy all day long. , so tired that my bones are almost falling apart.

But Cheng Haiqiang and Wu Qin were still dissatisfied. They made sarcastic remarks to their sister-in-law and put all the blame for the family troubles on her sister-in-law. They let her do all the light and heavy work, which was called atonement.The eldest brother couldn't stand it and wanted to speak for his daughter-in-law several times, but the family needed money everywhere. He didn't have much time to stay in the hospital to take care of her, and the time he could protect his sister-in-law was limited.

In order to help his parents with medical treatment, he went to the town to help every day before dawn. At noon, he took advantage of the meal opportunity to go to the hospital to cover his sister-in-law's shift. He had to continue working in the afternoon, and even continued until midnight.

The income gained from such hard work was only a few dollars, which was not enough to support the two elderly people in the hospital.

Bai Meixi told her eldest brother that medical expenses were not a problem. She would bear all the expenses and asked them to find a nurse to help take care of them. They did not have to do everything by themselves.

"What does a caregiver mean?" The eldest son of the Cheng family was confused after hearing Bai Meixi's words. In this era, there are only nurses and no caregivers. When a family member gets sick, they rely on their own strength to take care of them. How can they treat others as nannies? Even if you give money, you will be criticized by others.

"What I mean is, can you find a fellow countryman to help? After all, it's impossible for my sister-in-law to go without food and sleep all by herself. If this continues, both of your bodies will be worn down."

Bai Meixi persuaded her eldest brother a few words. Now the couple of the second brother's family stay at home every day and rely on the surplus food in the house. It is obvious that they are hopeless. If the eldest brother and sister-in-law get sick again, they may really have to start a family. The whole army was wiped out.

"No one is willing to help. The big bug hasn't been caught yet, and we have to practice lion and dragon dances. Every household is busy. Besides, the second child is idle at home every day. If I ask someone for help, wouldn't I tell everyone We are brothers at odds.”

The eldest son of the Cheng family cared about Cheng Haiqiang's face and refused to ask anyone else for help. He did everything on his own. The sixth brother also took leave to take care of him for a few days. However, the eldest son of the Cheng family was worried about his younger brother's future and forced him to return to his master to continue his studies. As for Cheng Haiwen, everyone kept it secret for fear that he would lose his job at the newspaper.

The old lady who got married has been in the hospital for more than ten days, but there has been no improvement. Her life has been saved. She has to rely on others to eat, drink, and take care of herself. She has completely lost the ability to take care of herself. No one knows how long this state will last. Maybe You can only recover to this level in a lifetime.

Mr. Cheng's condition was also not good. His leg was seriously injured and he had to stay in bed. The two elderly people collapsed on the bed, which made the married family suddenly confused.

The eldest son and the sixth son of the married family have become the strongest laborers in the family. They are all responsible for moving and lifting. Even carrying the two old people to bed was done by the sixth son alone.

The elder sister-in-law of the Cheng family covered the two old people with quilts. After cleaning up, Wu Qin opened the door from the outside.

"Oh, Mom, why did you end up like this? We are still counting on you when we get married." When Wu Qin saw the old lady of the married family coming back, she threw herself on the bed and cried till the end of the night. The wailing sound sounded like the second oldest child in the married family. died.

Bai Meixi couldn't stand listening. The two elderly people were staying in the hospital in the town these days. Even people in the village went to help. Only Wu Qin stayed at home peacefully. It was called taking care of the children. In fact, this was Only Cheng Baozhu had enough to eat for a few days, and the other children relied on the help of people around them to survive. Now that the two elders of the married family have returned, she has become the most hardworking and loyal person, which makes Bai Meixi really dissatisfied.
