Chapter 11 The Hardworking Little Bee

Acer settled down his little girl and went to bed. My wife was only out for two days, and I missed her very much, whether it was missing her as a person or missing her being able to do more things at home.

The weather is still very hot, and there are mosquitoes at night. I don't know whether it's because the tiled house is cooler, or because there is a girl in this room. Not only are there no mosquitoes, but the air is cooler.

Even though Acer was very tired and woke up twice in the middle of the night, he was able to get a good sleep.

"Dong dong dong"

Acer just felt like he had just fallen asleep, when the door of the room was knocked loudly, and he said in a loud voice: "Get up! You lazy guys, the sun is already basking your butts, and you haven't gotten up yet, why don't you expect me to wait for you?"

?”

When the girls in the room heard this demonic voice, they were sleeping soundly and jumped up in bed.

Daya took the lead in washing the faces of the younger sisters, then glanced at the sleeping little sister, and then started to take the two oldest sisters out to do things.

Acer had no choice but to get up. He also had to help the children with something. Even if his mother and father glared at him, they still felt sorry for such a small baby doing so much work.

He has to do carpentry during the day and cannot go out to help the children with farm work. He can only rely on getting up early to help the little he can.

The one-year-old baby was arranged to visit his sister, and another day of hard work was carried out.

Da Yagang and her two sisters were making breakfast and feeding the pig at home. This pig was a sow and had given birth to some piglets.

The second girl got up with a yawn and went into the kitchen to get water to wash her face.

"Da Ya, I'll wash all the clothes at home in a while."

"Second aunt, I have to go into the room to feed my little sister, and we also have to do farm work. If we wash the whole family's clothes, we won't have time to do farm work."

"You're so helpless with your hands and feet, and you have to push back and forth in doing so little work. Don't you even listen to your second aunt? Are you looking for a beating?"

The third girl heard what the second sister said. She didn't want to do laundry. Doing housework would make her hands rough. She always believed that she was destined to be rich and noble. She was just born into the wrong family. There was still hope for the rest of her life.

"Second sister, third sister, my children are so young and have to go out to do farm work, but you don't help me. I heard from Daya that there are bugs in the rice, and they have been catching bugs these days." Hongji said to his mother.

He took on the task of carrying water for the baby and was carrying a load of water into the kitchen.

"It was noisy early in the morning, and there was never a quiet day." Acer's father got up and glared at everyone. This month, he was always talked about behind his back when he went out, which made him unable to straighten his back and refute.

The main reason is that my son was not born into a child, so he vented his depressed anger on those little babies.

"Mom, Dad, look at how rough our hands are from washing clothes in the past two days, and the eldest brother is scolding us." The three girls knocked on the door and asked the four Acer girls to come out to work, and then went back to sleep in the cage.

Lai is acting coquettishly.

Lai glanced at her son Hongji, whose personality had changed a bit. Her daughter held an important position in her heart, while her son had always been more important. She was more concerned about what her son said about bugs in the crops, which would be their food for the next few months.

"Listen to your brother and listen to your father. Don't yell all day long. You, a big girl, will have a bad reputation."

"Mom..." The three girls stamped their feet, unable to do the rough work of washing clothes, so they could only glance at Da Ya and the three sisters.

Da Ya took her two younger sisters and timidly went back to the room with the little millet porridge Lai gave them.

When Tang Shiqi woke up, the three elder sisters were not in the room, and only the younger sister was looking at her.

"Little sister, are you hungry?" The fourth child, who is only over one year old, can eat by herself with a wooden spoon. She feels very responsible for the tasks assigned to her by her sisters and her father, and she obediently wants to feed her sister.

Tang Shiqi looked at the bowl of water with only soup, and smiled helplessly. There had been a misunderstanding before, and he didn't know whether to eat or urinate for her. He gave two code words to his sisters and father.

Blow bubbles when you want to pee, and click your lips when you want to eat. At first, her father and sisters didn't understand, but only her mother understood, and she had already taught this secret code to her father and sisters.

Tang Shiqi was so bored in this room that she couldn't move, had only water to eat, and couldn't take her outside. She was so bored in this room, eating and sleeping, and sleeping and eating.

Mrs. Li saw that in two days it would be time to rest for one day in a month. When she took the young master to greet the eldest lady, she met the housekeeper at the door, who was about to go out.

"Steward Tang, can I ask you a favor?" Ms. Li has always wanted to find a suitable person to buy things for her, and doesn't think the people around the young master can be used by her.

"Mr. Li, if you have any questions, just ask me. I will help you if I can." Butler Tang has met Mr. Li many times. This is the first time that this honest young master's nanny has asked for something from him, but she still can't do it.

We can guess the purpose of Li's request.

"Housekeeper, I don't know where to buy the young master's little book. I'm going back to visit my relatives in two days. I want to buy two copies for my daughters."

"Okay, is there anything else you can do? There are dolls at home, and I'll buy you some stuff for the dolls."

"No, no, the eldest lady gave me some fabric. I have already made clothes and shoes for the children."

"Okay, buy it and I'll have someone deliver it to you."

"Thank you. I'll give you the money first."

"The two little books are not worth much, just think of me as a doll given to you." Butler Tang waved his hand cheerfully.

In the evening of this day, Mrs. Li received two little human books that the housekeeper asked the boy to send, and there was also a child's toy bell.

She put these things away happily, looking forward to the day when she could go home soon.

The next day, I carried the young master to greet the eldest lady.

"Ms. Li, you have been in our house for a month. This time I will give you your monthly money. Will you go home to visit relatives and have a day off tomorrow?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Okay, I'll have someone drive a carriage to take you back tomorrow. After noon, I'll have the coachman take you back again. You are the young master's wet nurse and you can't leave him for too long."

"Yes." Mrs. Li thought she could stay at home for one night and spend more time with the children. After hearing what the eldest lady said, she could only nod in agreement.

The eldest lady was very kind to her, so she could only agree to such a small request.

"Jinhua, give her a gift for Mrs. Li to go home to visit her relatives, and also give her monthly money."

"Yes, ma'am." The Jinhua maid went out and came back after a while, holding a bundle in her hand.

"Ms. Li, this is the gift that the eldest madam has prepared for you to visit relatives. This is your monthly money."

"Madam, thank you..." Mrs. Li took the wallet and found that there were more than two taels of silver in it, "Madam, that's a lot of monthly money."
