70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 18 Sudden Generosity

Xie Xiaonian was about to refute, when he heard Father Xie say: "Chopping firewood can't be done by Xiaonian alone, so Dabao, when you go to work to herd the sheep, you also take the opportunity to gather some firewood. Wait until autumn to store up the kang for the winter." When there is more firewood, more firewood is needed, so everyone collects and chops firewood.”

"Well, Dad, I see." Xie Dabao didn't think there was anything wrong with picking up some firewood. Anyway, when he went to work, he didn't have much to do except herding and mowing the sheep.

When Xie Xiaonian saw that the physical work of collecting firewood was shared by Xie Dabao, who was more capable, she felt a little relieved.

Although the work assigned by me is still the heaviest and the most, it is much better than the original owner's full package. If you are quick, you can also have some free time.

"In addition, your mother is still responsible for the work in the chicken coop. When the field is busy, Xiaozhi will help your mother feed the chickens. I will also be in charge of the vegetable field at home. Xiaobao and Xiaoye are still the same as before. Pick up some excrement when going to and from school, so that we can get together the task excrement of our family early. As for other things, we will talk about it at that time." Father Xie continued to assign.

Wu Lihua is in charge of the chickens at home, not because she is diligent, but because she wants to prevent someone from stealing the eggs. These eggs are her treasure. Every night, she touches the chicken buttocks to see how many eggs she can lay the next day. Egg.

And every morning, the first thing Wu Lihua does after waking up is to go to the chicken coop to pick up eggs.

Because the team regularly collects manure from each family as fertilizer for the fields, the amount of manure is measured by lifting baskets, and work points are recorded according to the quantity.

And every family’s private land needs to be fertilized, and there is not enough pig manure and chicken manure at home, so every child who can’t do any physical work will carry a manure basket and a manure shovel before and after school, and go to the village on the road, At the foot of the mountain, we pick up the manure of cattle, donkeys, pigs, chickens and other poultry.

These will be collected together and handed over or poured into their own cesspit, and then some straw, leaves, etc. will be put together, and the manure will be used as fertilizer, so that there will be more fertilizer, and the fertilizer will not be afraid of burning the crops.

However, this manure is not easy to pick up. Usually, when people who raise poultry in the village, when sheep, chickens, etc. are pulled outside, the owner sees it and shovels it away at that time. There is not much for others to pick up.

Therefore, the work of Xie Xiaobao and Xie Xiaoye is almost nothing.

Xie Xiaonian, who was treated unfairly, didn't say a word, and the others certainly wouldn't object.

Especially Xie Xiaobao, who is 12 years old and 13 years old, he only needs to pick up dung and does nothing else. He is the most relaxed. Children of other families can do a lot of work at this age.

Seeing that no one objected, Father Xie said, "Okay, that's it."

"Father, I was supposed to go to school this afternoon, but now I've dropped out. I want to go to school tomorrow to tell the teacher, so I can go and get my things back." Xie Xiaonian said.

"Well, okay, then we will officially start doing our own work the day after tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Father Xie readily took out 5 cents from his pocket.

After handing over the money to Xie Xiaonian, he said: "This is the fare for you, the remaining ten cents, you can buy something for lunch."

Xie Xiaonian did not expect that Father Xie would give her the fare immediately, this sudden generosity made her a little flattered.

After going to high school, Xie's father always complained every time, and only when Xie Xiaonian was about to leave would he criticize her and give her money.

And most of the time, Xie Xiaonian would not give her travel expenses and let Xie Xiaonian carry the rations and walk to school.

Not only did he give it today, but he also gave her an extra 1 cents. It seems that Father Xie is very happy about Xie Xiaonian's dropout from the bottom of his heart.

Xie Xiaonian herself felt a little sad, the family's conditions were enough to provide for three children to go to school, but Xie's father felt that Xie Xiaonian's going to school was a waste of money and asked her to drop out of school. This is not what a real father should do!
