It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 8

"Sister Min'er, I'll take you to see my chicken." Su Wan took Su Min's hand and was about to walk to the backyard, Su Qiao hurriedly followed.

"Big sister, brother Chen Yuan and I go out to play, is that okay?" Su Chenrui looked at Su Rui nervously.

"Of course, but be careful." Su Rui took some candy and put it in Su Chenrui's pocket, so she can share it with her friends.

"Chen Yuan, protect your younger brother and don't let anyone bully you."

"Understood mother, Chen Rui, I will take you to find my little friend." The two little friends held hands and ran away.

Su Rui hopes that Su Chenrui will spend more time with boys of the same age. Children of this age should play happily instead of being old-fashioned every day.

"Auntie, please help us sew two quilts first." Su Rui and Su Ying held a whole bolt of coarse cloth and gave Lin Shi [-] catties of cotton.

"Auntie, I don't know how much cloth is needed to make a quilt, just watch the cutting." Su Rui cleaned up the things on the kang.

"Why, a whole bolt of cloth. That's enough for five or six quilts."

"Stab, stab"

After just a few strokes, several pieces of fabric of the same size were finished. Su Ying looked at Lin's hand feeling enviously.

Lin's hands and feet are very nimble, and he can finish a quilt in less than an hour.

"This six-pound quilt is really thick, enough to cover in winter." Lin touched it enviously. The quilt they covered was still the dowry of their natal family when they got married.I don't know when I can make a new quilt at home...

"Auntie, let's have dinner at my house tonight! I'll cook..." Su Rui got up to go to the kitchen.

"No, just sew this quilt, and we'll go back." Lin speeded up her sewing.

"Auntie, you're welcome, I still need your help in the future."

Su Rui thought about making polenta, and using the wheat flour and cornmeal grown in the space to make Erhemen steamed buns.

In the firewood room, Su Rui thought to herself. "I still have to eat fruits and vegetables. If I don't eat them, how will I supplement my vitamins?" Su Rui entered the space and harvested a batch of cabbage, radishes and other vegetables.

See the chicks have started laying eggs.I took three eggs and prepared to steam egg custard.

"The siblings of the Su family who live in Orion's house have mothers but not mothers. Oh oh oh..." Several little boys from this village laughed around Su Chenrui.

"Su Qiang, your mouth is eating feces. Why is it so smelly?" Su Chenyuan pointed and cursed.

"Su Chenyuan, why do you play with Sangmenxing? People in the village say that their children are all Sangmenxing, who beat their parents to death. Be careful that one day they will kill you too." Su Qiang rolled his eyes sideways.

"You are not allowed to scold my family, I will fight with you."

Su Chenrui threw himself directly on Su Qiang, the two little boys wrestled together, waving their fists recklessly, their faces were bruised and swollen, their clothes were ragged, the corners of their mouths were bruised, and they were exhausted.

"Su Qiang, stop quickly."

"Chen Rui, stop hitting."

Su Chenyuan pulled the two of them anxiously, and thought to himself, "It's over, it's over, mother should be angry."

The child next to him saw Su Chenrui, playing desperately, and was stunned at a loss...

"Okay, okay, let's stop fighting." Su Qiang suddenly noticed that there was anger in Su Chenrui's eyes, and he suddenly felt scared.

"You have to apologize to me." Su Chenrui looked at Su Qiang stubbornly.

"I apologize, I apologize." Su Qiang replied quickly.

Su Chenrui let go of Su Qiang.

"Apologize"

Su Qiang stood up in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Su Chenrui. I shouldn't call you and your siblings dead stars."

"It doesn't matter. We will be friends in the future and we can play together. Would you like to add me?" Su Chenrui took out candies and gave one to the two children present.

Su Qiang took the candy in his hand, looked at Su Chenrui and said.

"Okay, from now on you will be my Su Qiang's brother. Anyone who dares to bully you will be an enemy of my Su Qiang."

The two friends looked at each other and smiled.

"Let's go, let's go find the bird's eggs." Seeing the two shaking hands and making peace, Su Chenyuan suggested.

"Oh, go catch the eggs."

In an instant, the figure disappeared into the bushes, only to hear bursts of laughter.

The smell of wheat outside bursts into Lin's nose.

She really hasn't eaten white noodles for a few months. Last year's white noodles have already been eaten, and this year's wheat is not known if there is any left after paying the land tax.

"Ugh…"

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Su Ying heard a sigh and looked up at Lin.

Mrs. Lin shook her head, "It's okay, my aunt is just worried about what to do with this year's land tax? The grain production has been reduced so much, I don't know if the government will reduce the land tax."

Yes, it is a reduction, not a full exemption.The Lin family has heard from the head of the family that there will be wars on the border, and food and grass are most needed in wars.

Therefore, to reduce the land tax a little bit would be a great grace of the emperor.

"Sister, is the meal ready?" Su Qiao led Su Wan and Su Min over from the backyard.

"Well, it's all right. Go see if your elder brother and the others are back." Su Rui put out the fire and was bored for a while.

"Chen Rui, I will play with you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow"

After Su Qiang went down the mountain, he waved at Su Chenrui and ran away in the opposite direction.

"Chen Rui, why don't you eat bird eggs?" Su Chen scratched his head feeling very strange, why he didn't eat freshly baked bird eggs, but put them in his pocket instead.

"I want to take it home and eat with my eldest sister and the others."

Su Chenrui carefully carried a few eggs.

Su Chenyuan blushed. Every time he and his friends found food, he never thought of taking it home for his younger siblings to eat.

"Me, I will keep it to eat with my family in the future."

"Well, we are part of the family. The eldest sister said that we should share the blessings and share the difficulties."

"Big brother, you guys are finally back, big sister's meal is ready." Su Qiao saw Su Chenrui and her two figures from afar.

"Big Brother" Su Min and Su Chenli shouted softly.

Su Chenrui approached, but still didn't speak.

"Ah, brother, who beat you?" Su Qiao shouted.

"Elder sister, elder brother was beaten."

Su Qiao pulled Su Chenrui and walked towards the main room.

Su Rui heard the shout and hurried out of the back room.

"Chen Rui, what's going on?"

"Sister Su Rui, it's all my fault for not taking good care of Chen Rui." Su Chenyuan was afraid that Su Rui would beat Su Chen Rui, so he quickly put the responsibility on himself.

"No sister, it was Su Qiang who scolded me, and I fought with him. But we reconciled later, we are good friends now." Su Chenrui gave the roasted bird eggs to Su Rui with a smile.

"This is the bird's egg that Su Qiang and I found together. Sister, eat it."

"Well, go change your clothes. Wash your hands and face, and prepare to eat." Su Rui took the bird's egg.

"Chen Yuan, your mother and your younger siblings are having dinner at my house tonight. You go back and tell your grandma before you come over."

"Ah."

"Girl Rui, don't you go to see Su Qiang's parents? Lin asked.

"Didn't Chen Rui say just now that he made the move first, and he has reconciled and shared the eggs together. It means that they are good friends now."

Su Rui didn't take it seriously, it's normal for little boys to fight each other.

In the evening, when there were a few more people eating at home, it became more lively in an instant.

"Sister Rui, the custard you made is delicious." Little girl Chen Li's soft voice melted Su Rui's heart.

"My sister has chickens at home, and when she lays eggs, can I feed them to Xiao Chenli?" Su Rui said to Su Chenli with a smile.

"Girl Rui, if you are so used to Chenli, he will miss you often in the future." Lin patted Xiaochenli's head lovingly.

"Then come and play with Wan'er and the others often."

There was a burst of laughter, just a bowl of corn porridge, a steamed bun made of Erhe noodles, and a few spoonfuls of egg custard, which made all the children smile.
