Hard work

Chapter 5 Vegetables 【Midnight】

Gaihua went home, and Lan Huaer suddenly felt that she could take a breather.

As soon as she crossed over, she was terrified to find that her small body had to take care of an even smaller doll. She held her breath all the time, and was afraid of revealing her secrets, so she was a little too strong.She even felt that if Gaihua came home later, her small body might be exhausted and fell ill.

Who knows, the chill from her falling into the water before has not been completely removed.

On the second day after Gaihua returned home, the aunt who Lan Huaer couldn't pronounce her name came again with her fourth son—now Lan Huaer knows that her aunt's surname is Liu, and her fourth son's name is Shitou .She heard her eldest brother call them that.

Aunt Liu said she hadn't seen her for a long time, and she came to say hello to Gaihua, but she kept looking at Lan Hua'er.

Lan Hua'er knew it, the aunt came to see if she had told her elder brother about falling into the water.

She didn't really take that matter to heart at all.The orchid was indeed gone, but she was a time-traveler and finally took over his body, so she didn't seem to have any position to blame.

So she didn't mention that day to Gaihua at all.

Goudan is too small, he can't even tell a complete sentence, and naturally he won't say anything to Gaihua.

Lan Hua'er hid behind Gaihua, grabbed the corner of Gaihua's clothes, and called softly:
"Aunt...Brother Stone..."

Aunt Liu immediately beamed and praised Lan Huaer for being well-behaved and docile.

Gaihua was a little confused, so she told Lan Huaer:

"Aunt Liu is so enthusiastic."

Orchid smiled.

After Gaihua came back, he went to the people's house in the village and spent money to buy some brown rice and went home.

It is said that these have been discussed long ago.The price of food in the town outside is much higher than that in the village.I didn't buy many flowers, so I talked with someone who had a lot of land at home, and bought some every time I came back.

Those people took pity on the three orphans of Gaihua's family, and they all agreed.

Anyway, the grain at home is also sold, and the price paid for it is not as high as that of the people who come to collect grain.

It's a pity that this is the case, and the little money he earns is not enough to buy much food.

Lan Huaer secretly counted on her fingers for a long time, and determined that the small pile of grain could last for about three months.

This is a little bit worse - Lan Hua'er sighed silently in her heart.

She now knows why Goudan is almost four years old, but still looks thin and doesn't speak much.Even Lan Hua'er has a weak skeleton, and looks like it will fall when the wind blows.

That's because they really can't afford to eat at home, they are hungry every day, and they don't have any other food in their stomachs, so of course they are malnourished.

Lan Hua'er watched eagerly, feeling anxious in her heart.

If this goes on like this, even if the people in the family don’t starve to death, at least they will be a hypoplastic child with cerebral palsy.

She thought about it for a long time, and felt that she should be patient, but in the end she still couldn't bear it.

So he boldly told Gaihua:

"Brother, our family...won't we buy some vegetables?"

Gaihua couldn't help being stunned when she heard this, reached out and touched the little girl's head, and said:
"No one in our family is in charge of growing vegetables."

Lan Hua'er had thought about it long ago, pulled the corner of Chang Hua's clothes, rubbed her eye sockets hard, squeezed out a little redness, and said slowly:
"I... grow! Goudan said, hungry..."

She kind of hated herself for being so stupid with her body and mouth, and she stammered when she spoke.

Gaihua scratched her head desperately after hearing this.

In his heart, the little sister is really still young.

The five or six-year-old little girl in the other poor family just followed the adults to do some leak work, or went outside to play by herself, not in charge of a house and a younger brother like her little sister.

He always felt that the younger sister was still very young, and she was already very tired from boiling water and cooking, so how could she know how to do the work in the field.

But the younger sister told him that he was hungry.

In the end, Orchid got two small handfuls of vegetable seeds.

It was Gaihua who took her to Aunt Liu's gate and exchanged the dime of the wine she was preparing for the Chinese New Year.

Aunt Liu also explained to her carefully that this pile is from woad seeds, and this pile is from radish seeds.When to sow and what to pay attention to.

I have seen cabbage and radish orchids before, are they Chinese cabbage and white radish?Gaihua bought a little bit, and said it was to be eaten during the Chinese New Year—you can’t just eat brown rice porridge during the Chinese New Year.

Lan Hua'er was dumb, but she stood straight and listened carefully.Aunt Liu sighed when she turned around, she was such a good girl, it's a pity she left her parents early.

Originally, Aunt Liu didn't want to accept the dime of the wine, saying that it was used for Chinese New Year at Hua's house.

But Gai Hua said that there is really no other property in the house, so it is not easy to ask for things for nothing.

Aunt Liu said, changing flowers is also a good idea.

What a pity.

Still sighed like this.

So when Aunt Liu was changing the vegetables, she handed Lan Hua'er two large womb cabbage.

In other words, it was my aunt who gave Lan Huaer and Goudan for the New Year.

Lan Hua'er peeked at the elder brother's face for a while, and saw that the elder brother relaxed a little after rejecting it twice, so she happily put it away.

——Used to drag the knife in the steamer's house to keep the meat slices neat.

Gai Hua touched Lan Hua'er's head to comfort her:
"It's okay. Usually during the Chinese New Year, there is no wine at home."

Lan Hua'er thought, what he said in the past must be after the family lost their parents.How can there be normal people who don't buy alcohol during Chinese New Year?At least you have to worship your ancestors.

But now their family can't survive at all, and they don't care about the New Year.

After transmigrating, she believed in some strange things even more.She just felt that the ancestors didn't care about the life and death of their descendants for half a glass of wine.

Just before the Chinese New Year, Lan Huaer asked Gaihua to move some soil back from the top of the hill, and then planted a few small ridges in the small wasteland in front of the house, so that she could sow seeds in spring.

Gaihua didn't suspect at all how the little girl suddenly became capable.All he thought about in his heart was that the little sister was having difficulties at home, so he interpreted everything as the fact that the little sister became sensible after suffering, and worked extraordinarily hard.

It's just that there are no tools at home.

Gaihua went to the nearby house to borrow baskets and a hoe.

Lan Hua'er now knows that the house next to her - that is Mrs. Lin's house - changed her name to the owner, Uncle Fugui.

There is a man named Tiesheng in their house, who is bigger than Gaihua, and he helped move the soil for a long time.

According to the rules, after others help, they should keep food.

As a result, before Gaihua had time to speak, Tiesheng waved his hand:
"My father told me to let my family eat. If he dares to take advantage of you, he will break my dog's legs."

How can anyone call themselves a dog leg.Lan Hua'er pursed her lips and smiled beside her.

Tie Sheng scratched his head in embarrassment:
"Sister Lan Hua'er laughed at me. It's not a joke. If I go home for dinner, Dad can really beat me. If there is anything I need to help in the future, Sister Lan Hua'er will call me. The vegetable field is not easy to serve."

Lan Huaer nodded with a smile.

The people in this village are actually not bad.
