Nongmen sisters and brothers are not simple

Chapter 3 The poor family
"I went to Aunt Six and Aunt Zhang's house to see, and none of their sheep had any ewes that gave birth, and the ewes in Aunt Six's house had to wait two months at the earliest before there would be goat milk.

However, I went to the village head's house to exchange ten catties of white flour and came back. Now I can only let my little nephew eat some white batter. Let's talk about it. Tomorrow, I will go to the town to see if there are any ewes that have given birth , let's buy one and raise it first, and squeeze some goat milk for our little nephew. "Xie Zhong thought that his little nephew had no milk to feed him, and he didn't know if he would survive. He gritted his teeth and planned to go to the town to buy a sheep with goat's milk tomorrow.

"Uncle, let's feed the little brother some steamed white flour first! If he can eat it, then we can forget about buying ewes. Anyway, after another two months, Aunt Six's ewes will give birth. , we can also squeeze some goat milk for the younger brother to drink.

We don't have to buy ewes anymore, my family has no money, and I can't afford them. I know the situation of your family, uncle, so we can't even bother. "Xie Fanxing pinched his tired eyebrows and rejected her uncle's proposal.

Xie Fanxing knew from the original body's memory that the geographical location of their Shangou Village is extremely far from the town. It takes six hours to go to the town on foot, which is equivalent to twelve hours, and half a day has passed.

Their village is also very poor, and the harvest of various crops is not high. In addition to the war last year, each family has allocated quotas for forced conscripts.

Their old Xie's family also allocated a quota for conscription, Xie Cheng couldn't bear his old father to go, so as the eldest son, he had no choice but to come forward.

Xie Cheng was afraid that he would never come back, and that his wife and daughter would have a hard time, so he put forward the only condition, which was to divide the family.

Asking his parents to live with Xie Zhong, their family will give each person [-] catties of black noodles or one person a hundred coins to Xie Zhong's family every month, as monthly support for his parents.

After that, the life of Xie Zhong's family has nothing to do with their family.

As for the land, Xie Fanxing's family allocated one mu of paddy field and two mu of dry land.

It's just that God didn't favor their old Xie's family. Just half a year after Xie Cheng left, Xie Cheng's father was taken away by an illness.

Now that the chaos has subsided, Xie Cheng died on the battlefield again, and there is no pension. After hearing the bad news, Mrs. Liu died of dystocia. In the past year, three people from their old Xie family left in a row. No more than two, no more than three.

After the war and conscription, in addition to forced conscription, the taxation of each household was increased, and now each household in their village is struggling to live. Most of the households are almost short of food. Yes, Xie Fanxing's family is one of them.

Before Xie Cheng was conscripted away, Xie's family pooled some money for Xie Cheng to use on his journey. Now their family doesn't have much money, and the second uncle's family is afraid that the same is true.

Now let alone buying ewes that gave birth with silver money, they would go to the town to buy grain if they had money, and the two of them might not be able to spend a tael of silver.

Therefore, the second uncle went to the town and had no money, and he couldn't buy the ewes back, so there was no need for him to bother.

After all, the two of them have separated, and the second uncle can continue to take care of their siblings. This is love, even if they don't take care of them, this is also their duty.

"That's the only way to go." Mrs. Zhang also knew the background of their family, so she nodded helplessly.

Pity my grandson.

"The second one, I will stay here temporarily to take care of the younger one for a few days, so I won't go back home." Mrs. Zhang said, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Auntie, Uncle, I have something to say to Grandma, so I won't keep you. Fanyue, take care of your younger siblings and eat, don't wait for the elder sister to eat." Xie Fanxing felt a slight twitch in her heart when she heard that Mrs. Zhang was going to live in her house , with a serious look on his face, he said to Xie Zhong and his wife.

"En! Okay." Qian glanced at Fan Xing.

She always felt that Fan Xing seemed to have changed a bit, a little different from before, as if she had become more mature, stable and sensible.

Qian thought about it in a blink of an eye. In just one day, she lost her father and mother one after another. It is also reasonable to grow up in time.

"Fanxing, your aunt and uncle are gone now. If you have anything to say, just talk to grandma. Grandma won't tell your aunt." When she came to the room, Mrs. Zhang fondled her eldest granddaughter's loose hair. Don't talk behind her ear.

"The granddaughter disagrees with grandma living with us. I know that grandma wants to take care of our siblings. But I also know that grandma is busy at my house. When it's time for dinner, she will definitely not stay at my house for dinner. , I will go back to my aunt and the others for dinner.

If you really do this, my aunt won't say anything in a short time, and my aunt will see that we are sympathetic to our siblings after our parents are gone, and won't say anything.

But after a long time, you work in someone else's house and eat my food, what will my aunt think?People's hearts will change, and I don't want to share this relationship with my uncle and aunt.

In addition, it's almost spring farming time, and the family has to work on the farm, not to mention Fan Wen's health is not very good, and he needs to be taken care of by you, Grandma, so it's even more inconvenient to stay here.

Don't worry, grandma, I will take care of my younger siblings. During the day, you are busy with your aunt's housework. When you have free time, you can also come and help me take care of my younger brother. "Xie Fanxing said in a tone of thinking for Mrs. Zhang.

In fact, Xie Fanxing didn't want Mrs. Zhang to live in her house. After all, she had just traveled here, and she hadn't fully absorbed some of the habits and habits of her original body. If she had contact with people she knew day and night, she was afraid that she would show her feet sooner or later. .Therefore, Xie Fanxing wanted to dismiss Zhang Shi and rejected her proposal.

As for the younger siblings, who have lost their fathers and mothers one after another, they can't find anything.

"My poor child, I still have to think about grandma." Mrs. Zhang heard Xie Fanxing's words of thinking about her, and seeing such a sensible and well-behaved granddaughter, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help crying while hugging Xie Fanxing.

Xie Fanxing comforted Mrs. Zhang for a while, and after Mrs. Zhang stopped crying, she sent Mrs. Zhang back to her aunt and the others.

"Eldest sister, let's eat." Xie Fanyue saw her elder sister calling grandma to leave, she called Xie Fanxing to eat with red eyes.

Before their elder sister asked them to eat first, all of them who were sensible didn't eat first, and waited for their elder sister to come out to eat together.

Now that their parents are gone, only their brothers and sisters are left to depend on each other, so Xie Fanyue and his siblings want to wait for their eldest sister to come to eat together.

"Okay, let's eat. Don't be afraid, the eldest sister will take good care of you in the future." Xie Fanxing looked at the red eyes of his younger siblings, looking scared and panicked, Xie Fanxing said with some distress.

There are five siblings, the oldest Xie Fanyue is only 11 years old.

Xie Fanyang, the eldest son of Xie, is nine years old.

The third daughter, Xie Fanchen, and the second son of the Xie family, Xie Fanri, are seven-year-old twins.

The youngest one was born today.

This is still a group of children who have become orphans without father and mother within a day.

Since I live by myself and as the eldest sister, I have the obligation to take good care of them.
