Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 260 Sour water bursts out

“Mom feels sorry for us. We are no longer young. We can’t rely on our mother for everything. We must try our best to help our mother.”

Bai Lixia nodded in bed, "Sister is right, we have to work more. We used to be thin and weak, but now we have meat on our bodies, and we have strength to work."

“I listen to the eldest and second sisters, but what can we do to help my mother?” Bai Midou asked.

The most they can do to help with the cooking is to clean the yard, feed the chickens, and cook. They can make simple meals, but not complicated ones.

Only Baishui Liu can learn how to cook quickly, and can also help with cooking and other things.

“I’ve thought about this too,” Bai Shuiliu said, “There’s really not much we can do to help with other things, but we can still do the work that requires effort.”

“Now is the time to break sticks. It’s not difficult to do. We all know how to do it. It’s been a bit harder these days. Get up earlier in the morning and let’s go to the fields and break sticks.”

"Bamboo leaves and rice beans, you two are young and have little strength, so you just break the sticks and put four or five sticks into a small pile along the long road. Lixia and I will carry them to the ground. We will use them later. The bamboo basket was carried on a pole to the house."

“Let’s get up early, work until dawn, and then come back, and we can break off as much as we can.”

 “Sure.” Bai Lixia nodded first.

 White bamboo leaves and white rice beans followed with a "hmm" sound.

"It's done, go to bed quickly. I'll wake you up tomorrow morning. Don't stay in bed then." Bai Shuiliu, who was half sitting, lay down.

Bai Lixia and the three of them nodded heavily again, not daring to delay any longer, and hurriedly lay down and closed their eyes.

 The next day, the four carrot heads got up early, quietly carried the bamboo basket and carried the pole out of the door.

 When we arrived at Bangzi Field, we all started working in an orderly manner according to the arrangements made by Bai Shuiliu last night.

In order to prevent the white rice beans and white bamboo leaves that broke off the sticks from getting into the stick field, the stick leaves would just cut their faces. Bai Shuiliu specially took a wrap from home and covered their heads with only two of them exposed. Round eyes.

With this layer of protection, the two little carrot heads can be said to have no worries, and their hands and feet are very nimble. They shuttle through the stick field like little monkeys, breaking off the sticks one by one from the stick sticks, and stacking several sticks into a small pile. The piles make it easier for Bai Shuiliu and Bai Lixia to pick them up.

In the morning of autumn, there is some thin water vapor, which also reduces the ability of the stick leaves to cut people. Moreover, breaking the sticks is a laborious job. Many people are willing to take advantage of the cool morning to break them, so now There are not a few people who go to the ground as early as four carrot heads.

When he saw the fourth sister and brother Baishuiliu, they also said hello warmly.

When Mrs. Sun passed by, she saw that there were only four radish heads in the stick field. When she did not see Su Mulan, she stopped and asked, "Shui Liu, where is your mother, why didn't you go down to the ground to break the sticks?"

"My mother is too busy at home to take care of it. Let's go to the field first. My mother will be here shortly. Is Mrs. Sun looking for my mother if you have anything?" Bai Shuiliu asked in return.

“It’s okay so far…” Sun’s eyelids drooped slightly, feeling unhappy.

The food is so good that you don’t even have to work in the fields.

Ms. Sun felt sour in her heart when she thought about the extremely good business of the food shop that Su Mulan opened in the town in partnership with others.
