Chapter 242 Division of labor and cooperation

Chapter 242 Division of labor and cooperation
After a busy morning, the people hadn't finished planting half an acre of land, and people from other nearby families had already delivered food. They waited for a while, and finally saw Xixi and the others appearing at the end of the road.Their meal was finished at the sidelines at the beginning of autumn, and King Zhuhua Heping was in charge of overseeing the work at the paddy field. When he saw them coming, he asked the teenagers to come up to wash their hands and prepare to eat.

"What did you do?" Zhuhua asked, she didn't participate in their cooking this time, and she didn't even know what they bought.

Tuanyuan paused for a moment and didn't answer, but Xixi frowned and said nonchalantly, "It's edible anyway."

When they opened the food basket, Zhuhua felt that the food was a bit darker in color, so it could only be counted as edible.

"Didn't you cook before when you were at home?" Zhuhua couldn't help asking.

"In the past, when cooking at home, someone would chop the vegetables first, and someone would help watch the fire. We don't need to do all of them." Xixi argued.

"Don't you have three people? Even if one person is assigned to a group, other people can help when she is cooking. Or one is dedicated to chopping vegetables, one is dedicated to watching the fire, and one is dedicated to frying vegetables; there are several meals, one by one. Take turns."

"You didn't say anything yesterday." Xixi muttered.

"I thought you were all pretty smart."

Xixi pursed her lips. In fact, she also thought of doing this later, but it was too late.At the beginning, she really didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to cook a dish by herself.

Fortunately, the man who had been working for a long time didn't say anything when he saw that the dish was burnt a bit and didn't taste very good.

Huanhuan ate a piece of braised pork, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "This meat is well-cooked, and it has a burnt aroma."

"For you have vision." A smile appeared on Xixi's gloomy little face.

When the other families heard that they had meat, they also looked over curiously. Seeing this, Zhuhua couldn't help but whispered, "You are the only ones who have a large piece of meat to eat in this field, and other families only eat a few slices of meat."

"How can you have the strength to work without eating meat?" Huanhuan asked.

"Do you think they don't know? Why do you say that they know this, but they can't let go of eating meat?" Zhuhua asked seriously.

Huanhuan fell silent immediately.Yuanyuan, who had never made a sound, said now: "So, money is a good thing. We must save a lot of money so that we won't go hungry in the future."

"What if someone steals your money?" Zhuhua joked.

"I will practice martial arts well and not let them take it away."

"When you are old and can't move anymore, and when you need money the most, are they robbing you of the money?"

"My children will hold it for me."

"I'm sure? I'm still not sure whether you can keep it. If you don't mess around and disperse all the money first, I'm already going to snicker." When Zhuhua said these words, her eyes were looking at you. Joyfully.

Along the way, these two people spent the most money. They used to love to go shopping in Liangzhou, and they developed the habit of spending money lavishly without knowing it. Money, the amount should not be large.She didn't know that they spent a lot until she found out that Qin Xin was secretly giving them pocket money.She taught and taught them, and made them promise that they are not allowed to spend indiscriminately in Chang'an. The cost of Chang'an is much higher than that of Liangzhou.They did abide by the rules, but they would occasionally buy something impractical, or invite their classmates out for a meal.

When they came out to play this time, they brought all their pocket money with them. They heard that there are many good things in Jiangnan, so they wanted to buy some back, maybe they could make some money.It's just that they have spent half of their money before reaching Jiangnan. Xixi even tried to borrow money from Yuanyuan, under the guise of asking her to do business with her. She knew that among these children, Yuanyuan might belong to her. The private room is the thickest.

She guessed right, but Yuanyuan is so smart, it's not easy to borrow money from her.Xixi tried to coax her a few times but failed, so she gave up.Now when they heard Zhuhua say this, the two of them looked at each other guiltily, lowered their heads and pretended not to hear, Zhuhua didn't continue to pursue this matter.

After taking a break at noon, Huanlele and Yuantai had to continue working in the fields, while Jiajia went back with the adults. After taking a bath, he had a good sleep. When he woke up, he saw Xixi was about to He went to the field to deliver tea, and he said he would go with him, but when he got out of the yard, he saw Zhuhua in the kitchen, so he couldn't say anymore, and went to the kitchen to ask Zhuhua for some snacks.

Xixi sighed helplessly, and went to the field to deliver tea and snacks, but she also took a careful look at the other houses nearby. They were drinking tea that had long since cooled down, unlike their house that still had hot tea and refreshments.

When the three teenagers were drinking tea, she couldn't help but sigh, "What if we were born in common people's homes?"

"Seventh Aunt was born in a common people's family." Yuan Tai said with a smile.

"This is also catching up with my grandfather becoming an official."

"Sister, isn't this in line with your wishes? Don't you always think there are too many rules? If you were born in a common people's family, you don't have to follow these rules, and you can freely follow you in the mountains and fields. How wonderful?" Lele joked.

Xixi was so angry that he gave him a blank look, and before he finished drinking the tea, he grabbed his tea bowl, cleaned it up, turned around and left.

Lele yelled helplessly, receiving sympathetic looks from several girls nearby, he pulled out his bangs in satisfaction, and went back to work.That day, they returned before it was dark, and they were a little embarrassed to see that other families were still working in the fields.I thought I would last a little longer, but Zhuhua was not allowed, and said that it would be fine for them to work less on the first day, and they would have to work according to the villagers' working hours tomorrow, and they agreed.

How did they know that after a night's rest, they were so tired that they couldn't open their eyes in the morning, and their bodies were sore and sore, which was completely different from the fatigue they experienced in martial arts.When Zhuhua sent people to wake them up, the genius was dim, but Zhuhua hadn't gotten up yet.But Xixi and Tuantuan are already up, because they have to take care of breakfast.They agreed at night that Yuanyuan could sleep a little longer in the morning and not have to get up to help make breakfast. As a price, she had to wash the dishes for the day.In order to sleep a little longer, she reluctantly agreed.

When they went to the fields, before dawn, they cleaned up and went to the butcher's house in the next village to cut the meat.There is no meat stall in Lijia Village, and the nearest meat stall is in the next village. Of course, there are meat stalls in the town, but it will be farther if you go to the town to buy.

These days, in order to facilitate their work, Zhuhua made them wear some old clothes.When she came out, she brought all the old clothes along the way, so that she could throw them away on the road when she didn't want them.But even their old clothes are brighter than ordinary people's. There will always be people looking at them curiously along the way, especially young and strong guys who can't move their eyes when they see them.

The 11-year-old Tuantuan is still childish, but his every move is graceful, looking like a little fairy in the sky; the 16-year-old Xixi is just in the water spirit, she looks good, and she likes to wear clothes Some brightly colored clothes, today she is wearing a garnet red skirt, fall into the eyes of others like a flame that burns from their eyes to their hearts.

Tuantuan used to go to the streets in Liangzhou back then, and there were quite a few people who liked to stare at her. First, it was because of her status, and second, it was because of Wendy's pursuit of her mother, which made everyone want to criticize her. appearance.She thinks she is not the most beautiful girl in Liangzhou city. Some beauties who come from foreign countries and open taverns in Liangzhou are really beautiful, but there are still many people who pursue her.Although she didn't look down on any of them, she was high-spirited, and she didn't look down on ordinary people at all.

Knowing that they were Sun's granddaughters, the butcher seller specially gave them a discounted price, so that Xixi couldn't even try to bargain.She discovered that in the countryside, her mother and aunt were not as famous as her grandmother.

With meat, they don't need to buy other vegetables. Aunt Li's family grows a lot, so they can pick them up at will.But when they got home, Aunt Li had pulled out a basket of vegetables for them and sent them home.Aunt Li was talking to Zhuhua at the moment, when she saw the two children came back, she lowered her voice.Xixi vaguely heard what they were saying about people who were "just so ugly", she was curious to know, so she tried to find a way to talk to other people, only to find out that many people wanted to give their daughters to Zhuhua early in the morning , I want Zhuhua to accept her as the current person in the palace.

After hearing this, Zhuhua agreed, as long as the other party was willing to write down the deed of selling herself, she didn't mind getting an extra girl, but she also made it clear that if this girl was enslaved, her brother would not be able to take the imperial examination.You must know that Lijiacun and Sunjiacun are still going to school for free in the school funded by the Sun family. Even if everyone says that they only let their children learn a few words, they still think that maybe their children are the stars of Wenqu. Is it easy to get three yuan and the first?
So when they heard that they were going to be enslaved, many people went back.But there is a widow who only has a daughter who doesn't know who her father is. She insists on letting her daughter enter the palace as a real person. She has only one request, which is to let her go with her.Of course Zhuhua would not agree, and just as she was about to go back, Aunt Li came, and she scolded the widow away when she found out about this, and taught Zhuhua a lot of things in the courtyard to tell her not to soften her heart, but to let Zhuhua Hua didn't know how to answer, and she didn't say she would accept it.

But indirectly, Zhuhua heard that this widow wanted to throw herself into her father's arms, and she shook her head in disgust.Aunt Li also said it smoothly for a while, but in the end she didn't forget to ask Zhuhua not to tell Sun Shi, but she is still afraid of what Sun Shi's violent temper will do.

After Xixi found out, she happily went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch.At this moment, Yuanyuan finally got up, she simply washed up and began to help wash the vegetables, and then went to the stove to help watch the fire, Zhuhua found that she was doing light work.Fortunately, the two elder sisters didn't bother with her, even when it was time to wash the dishes, Tuantuan helped her do half of the washing.
