Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Chapter 73 Poor Sister Chunmiao

After hearing the person recommended by Qiu Lianniang, Jiang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled softly.

She thought that Qiu Lianniang would recommend someone who was familiar with her or had a good relationship with her to do this job, but she didn't. Instead, she recommended Chun Miao, who had nothing to do with her.

"Oh, you don't know..."

Qiu Lianniang sighed and said: "Yesterday, two girls, Chun Miao and Chun Ya, were driven out of the house by Zhao Lai Lai. They helped with work in the mountains for a day, and they didn't even have hot food to eat when they got home. They were outside He was starved for most of the night before he was released home."

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but frown and said, "Doesn't Sister Zhao not care? Sister Chunmiao and Sister Chunya are her biological daughters."

"Oh, there's nothing she can do. She can't even protect herself..."

Qiu Lianniang shook her head helplessly and continued: "I heard that Rascal Zhao discovered that she was secretly hiding meat and beat her up. Now Chun Miao Niang is still lying at home unable to get up. The two girls are here to help her mother." I was kicked out after begging for mercy..."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a little sad. Zhao Rascal was so inhumane. He was lazy and easy to eat, but he also abused her all day long. How could Sister-in-law Zhao endure such a man?

Even though it was difficult to reconcile in ancient times, if you wanted to leave such a man, it was not impossible.

"So, I just thought, why don't you let Chunmiao come to your house to help with the work? I don't need to pay her much, but I can give her a full meal. This child is so pitiful..."

Jiang Wei shook his head and said that everyone should be treated equally: "You still have to be paid for the work."

"But, mother, what if the wages you gave Sister Chunmiao were stolen by her father?" Jiang Xiaoxiao reminded her.

She agreed with both hands and feet to let Chunmiao come to help with the work at home, but what Qiulian Niang said was also very reasonable. Let her come to work at home to help her avoid abuse by her scumbag father at home, but if she got paid Back home, with Zhao Lai Lai's greedy temperament, he would definitely beat Chun Miao severely to force her to hand over her wages.

It would be better to exchange the wages for other food for her, so as to avoid causing trouble to her and give her a place to settle down and have enough to eat.

"What Xiaoxiao said makes sense." Jiang Wei nodded in agreement, "I didn't think carefully. In that case, let Chunmiao eat at my house from now on."

"Okay, then let's go find Sister Chunmiao when we come back tomorrow!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled happily. With the help of Sister Chunmiao, her little hands could be freed. She almost went crazy beating so many eggs.

"Xiaoxiao, if you are tired, go outside and take a rest."

Qiu Lianniang touched her head lovingly, "When my Tiezhu was five years old, he was not half as sensible as you. He would go out and play wildly all day long, and even asked me to wash him when he came back covered in mud. Look at you, you are not only sensible. , I can still do it. I go to town every day to help your mother sell ice cream. Oh, if only my Tie Zhu could be half as sensible as you..."

While speaking, she glanced at Jiang Wei angrily, as if to say, for such a young child, you are not willing to let her help you do so many things every day.

"Ah, Aunt Qiulian, actually I'm not tired..." Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and just when she was about to speak, her mother nodded in agreement and said: "That's right, Xiaoxiao, you can go out and play. These tasks are for us adults." Just do it.”

With that said, her mother drove her out of the kitchen.

"Huh?" Jiang Xiaoxiao stood in the yard with a confused look on his face. He really didn't need her to help him with the work?

But today we have to make more than a thousand servings of ice cream and ice cream. How can the two of them finish it?

"Mom, I'm really not tired. How about I help you light the fire?" Jiang Xiaoxiao opened the window and said with her little face.

"Okay, you're not as good as a stove, so you better go out and play." Jiang Wei waved his hand and said, "If you are really free and have nothing to do, go to Sister Zhao's house to find Chun Miao and tell her to come home tomorrow. Work stuff.”

"Okay then." Jiang Xiaoxiao could only say.

Speaking of which, she always forgets that she is a five-year-old child, following her mother all day long, worrying about everything, and not showing the slightest naughtiness of a child. If this continues, she will arouse suspicion sooner or later, so she'd better find something to do as a child.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xiaoxiao went back to the house and took out the sweets that Jiang Wei bought not long ago from the cabinet. There was a big box full of them, including honey cakes, sugar candies, sugar corners, happy candies and the like. , children’s favorite snack.

But she usually doesn't eat these, because Jiang Wei will stuff her with some modern chocolates and nuts from time to time, and these ancient snacks are naturally delicious to her.

She simply grabbed a handful and stuffed them into the small bag on her waist, and went out for a walk.

But as soon as she walked to the door of the yard, the little tiger pounced on her, clawed at her trousers and screamed "Ouch!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked down and saw the little tiger looking up at him with a tiger face and a pair of animal eyes looking at him pitifully.

She couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so clingy? Do you also want to go out with me?"

"Ouch~" the little tiger responded softly, his cry full of flattery.

"That's okay." Jiang Xiaoxiao took a look at the injury on its leg. It seemed to be almost healed, so she bent down and picked up the tiger. "But you have to obey me when you go outside."

"Ouch~owoo~"

The little tiger seemed to understand her words and responded twice.

Jiang Xiaoxiao held back her laughter and took the little tiger out of the house.

Her family lived at the end of the village, quite far away from Sister-in-law Zhao's house. Along the way, she passed the big locust tree in the village as usual.

As before, there were several old ladies sitting under the tree enjoying the shade. They were twisting straw ropes in their hands and pulling each other to do their homework.

When Jiang Xiaoxiao got there, she couldn't help but want to stop and listen to the gossip.

There is no way. In this era, there are no mobile phones or Internet information. In this small mountain village that is closed-minded and deaf, the only way to understand other things in the village is by listening to gossip.

"Hey, have you heard that Rascal Zhao was seen getting very close to Widow Xu in the village recently..."

"Ah? That can't be true. Widow Xu's man has only been dead for two years, and she has her parents-in-law. How could she do such a thing if she still had any conscience?"

"Who knows, I heard that Zhang Dalin's son once saw them getting into the woods..."

"Oh my God, how can this woman be so brave! She's going to soak a pig cage!"

……

Jiang Xiaoxiao was listening with interest, but when several old ladies saw her coming, they immediately shut up and stopped talking.

"Xiaoxiao, where are you going?"

A few old ladies probably thought it was inappropriate to talk about such dirty gossip in front of children, so they changed the topic, but the next second they noticed what she was holding in her arms, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, what are you holding in your arms?" What are you wearing? A cat?"
