I live in the countryside

Chapter 5 Sisters (Revised)

When Qiao Churan returned to the room, the elixir she had made was already cold, so she had no choice but to mix it with hot water and continue drinking.

The bad smell made her nauseous.

When I fell asleep with my worries, it was already early morning.

The next day, she was woken up by the crowing of a cock.

At eight o'clock in the morning, after she woke up and washed, she called her younger sister, Qiao Yuzhu.

The signal in Qingxi Village is not good. Most of the time the network is 3G, and sometimes it is unstable or 2G. When making a call, the signal is occasionally unstable.

Qiao Churan called twice before Qiao Yuzhu answered the phone: "Sister, what's the matter? You don't go to work so early? I'm busy now, and I'm going to coax Lele to have breakfast."

Qiao Yuzhu failed to pass the junior high school entrance examination, so she stopped studying and went out to work. Later, she met the team leader in the factory at that time. After leaving the city, her brother-in-law has also been promoted to be the factory manager. After they got married, they gave birth to a son named Lele.

Qiao Churan said, "I'm going home."

"Ah, you went home for the holiday so early for the New Year?"

There is still more than a month left before the Chinese New Year.

"No, I resigned and came back."

"Resign?" Qiao Yuzhu was shocked, her sister was the only female college student in Qingxi Village, she was working well in the provincial capital, why did she suddenly resign: "Why did you resign, could it be because you committed something and got fired? "

Qiao Churan didn't say anything about it, but frowned and said, "Mom's back injury is so serious, you know, why don't you persuade her to go to the hospital? Don't talk about treatment, at least go to the hospital to see the situation first."

"I can't persuade her." Qiao Yuzhu felt a little guilty: "Besides, Mom also said that it's not a big problem, it's just that I was too tired from the busy farming work a while ago, and I'll be fine after resting this winter."

She didn't dare to say that if she persuaded Chen Mei to go to the hospital, she would definitely come to the city, and then she would definitely come to her house. She lived with her mother-in-law, who was also from the city, and looked down on her from the countryside. She graduated from junior high school. It was only after giving birth to her son that she received the certificate, and she had a good look at her. If she took Chen Mei and Qiao Zongming over, her husband and mother-in-law would definitely be unhappy.

"I want to take her to see the provincial capital. The hospital in the provincial capital is good, but she refuses. You should help me persuade her."

"I got it, I got it." Qiao Yuzhu responded perfunctorily, "Then you are at home, you can try to persuade me, but it's useless for me to persuade you. You also know that Lele will be going to kindergarten next year, and I need to use it too. Money, I don’t work, I don’t have any money, I persuaded my mother but couldn’t give me money, how embarrassing it is.”

Qiao Churan was a little unhappy when he heard this, "You already knew that your mother's back hurt like that and you didn't care about it, but that's our mother, do you need it?"

"That's your mother too." Qiao Yuzhu said: "I didn't see you knew it earlier."

"you……"

Qiao Yuzhu hurriedly said: "Sister, let's do this first, Lele is crying, I'll go to coax you first, let's talk about it later, you happen to be at home, so you can have more snacks, you happen to be familiar with the provincial city, the provincial city The medical treatment here is definitely better than that in my small city, let’s do this first, hang up, and talk about it later.”

After all, before Qiao Churan could say anything, Qiao Yuzhu had already hung up the phone.

Qiao Churan listened to the hung up phone, feeling angry and having nowhere to vent her anger.

Qiao Yuzhu can't be blamed entirely, she, as a daughter, didn't do her duty either.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

There were cocks crowing and dogs barking in the yard.

A busy day in Qingxi Village has already begun.

When Qiao Churan hung up the phone, Qiao Zongming had already gone to work in the field.

The Qiao family has ten acres of land, and there are more than five acres of dry land. Corn will be planted after the spring, and now the land must be plowed ahead of time, so Qiao Zongming went out early in the morning.

Chen Mei didn't go out because of her back pain, and she fed chickens and pigs at home.

Before Qiao Yiyao got up, Chen Mei came back from feeding the pigs and saw Qiao Churan stirring the chicken food in the courtyard, so she hurriedly said, "I'll do it, I'll do it, how can you do this."

Qiao Churan was helpless: "It's not that I haven't done it before. Mom, you go have breakfast first. I've prepared the porridge for you and the pickles."

She looked at Chen Mei carefully, and now she couldn't see the pain from last night, but Qiao Churan still had lingering fears.

Chen Mei didn't take it seriously, and continued: "What's the rush, I'll feed the chickens first and then come back." Then she snatched the shovel from Qiao Churan's hand, Qiao Churan couldn't fight, and there was nothing she could do.

A simple small tile-roofed house was built on the west side of the grain drying field in the yard. It is not big, only more than ten square meters, and it is the place where the family raises poultry and livestock.

In recent years, farmers have supported breeding, and every household will have a certain subsidy for raising chickens and ducks. All poor households in the village raise them. The Qiao family raises [-] chickens, and the chicken food alone is a big bucket.

Chen Mei has a bad waist, Qiao Churan didn't dare to let her lift heavy objects, and insisted on helping her take it to the chicken coop, but Chen Mei insisted that she had to let go.

After feeding the chickens, the mother and daughter came back to wash their hands and eat breakfast. Qiao Churan said, "Mom, I will get up and feed the chickens, ducks, pigs and cattle for you in the future. Don't be so anxious, and don't do heavy work on your waist."

"You put it lightly. I don't have to do the big and small farm work at home? You, don't worry about it. It's not a big problem. I used the medicinal wine prescribed by the Chinese medicine doctor in the town. It's much better. I can go to the fields to work in the spring. Corn, I plan to go to plow the land with your dad in two days. During this period of time, if you have time, you should watch Ayao's study, if he continues like this, he won't even pass the high school entrance examination."

For half-aged children, even if they go out to work, there is no need for them. Chen Mei feels worried when she thinks about it.

They were all born by her, why Yuzhu and Ayao can't read good books like Ranran!
