It was still dark, and Tang Dahai got up in the dark in the early morning. When Tang Dahai got up, although he tried his best to be as gentle as possible, the bed board made a "squeak, squeak" sound when it moved, waking him up.

Lu family.

"Did I wake you up? I tried my best to keep it quiet, but I didn't think I would wake you up. After the new year, I won't go to work for others. I will make a few more beds and tidy up the house. You go back to sleep

Okay, I'll sow the seeds in a while, I don't need your help, I can just do this little work by myself for a while."

"It's okay. I have nothing to do all day. I can help you plant some vegetables when I get up early. How long will you have to work alone? It's not good to be delayed in raising money for others."

Tang Dahai heard that it might be too late and he would have to delay going to help others to do the work. This was not good, so if he started to do it, it would be too late and it would be unjustifiable. So he stopped insisting and let Mrs. Lu get up and help him.

"Well, okay, then you take your time. I'll light the fire first and cook the porridge." Tang Dahai said, then left the room and went to light the fire to cook the porridge.

"Hey, I know that." Mrs. Lu fumbled and put on her clothes.

When Mrs. Lu gently closed the door, she came to the stove and saw that the porridge was cooking. She put a handful of firewood in the stove to make the fire hot. She went to fetch water from the earthen jar and washed her face, thinking to herself.

The porridge had already been cooked. I didn't see that Tang Dahai had already gone to the vegetable field, so he quickly went to the vegetable field to help.

Tang Dahai thought that it was already autumn, and there was no time to plant many vegetables, so he would just plant two or three things to improve things. It would be better than nothing, all winter long.

Tang Dahai and Lu were both accustomed to farm work, and they were quick with their hands and feet. The two of them planted vegetables together, so the speed was naturally much faster. They finished planting soon, and only planted weeds, radishes, and beans. Although it was a little late

But at least it's still late. It may grow smaller, but it can still produce enough food.

"Okay, it's good to plant it. You go to eat porridge first, and you have to go to raise money for others. Later, I will take a few children to pick up a few buckets of water to water the ground. You can't

Worry about this."

Mrs. Lu straightened up and saw that the seeds had been planted. There was a trace of light in the sky, and she hurriedly urged Tang Dahai to go home quickly.

"Well, don't be brave. If you can't carry enough water, just carry less water. It's okay to carry it with Wenhong. It's not good to be exhausted. It's okay to wait for me to come back to carry water. We won't be short of it for a while." Tang Dahai looked at it.

It was almost dawn, so I gave Lu a few words of advice.

"Okay, I still don't know how much water I can carry. At most, I can just pick a few more times, and you can worry about it. The seeds have just been planted here, and they are waiting for you to come back to water them. The sun is so good,

The seeds are all dried. Go home quickly, I know, and I still need so many instructions from you."

Looking at the neat rows of vegetable fields, thinking that the seeds that had just been sown would be harvested before winter, Tang Dahai felt full of energy. Tang Dahai said hello to Mr. Lu and went home alone.

went.

Tang Dahai washed his hands, picked up the chipped bowl, drank the porridge in a few mouthfuls, and hurried to Qian Ju's house. The sky had just been cleared.

Maybe because everyone was tired yesterday, several children got up a little later than usual. Ms. Lu was also distressed and didn't go to wake them up. She just heated the porridge over and over again, thinking about the children getting up.

So you can eat it hot.

Mrs. Lu herself went to the river to fetch water. She couldn't carry a full bucket, so she only fetched more than half a bucket. When Mrs. Lu fetched water twice and went home to drink, several children had already gotten up.

The bowls have all been neatly cleared away.

Wenhong saw Mr. Lu coming in with 2 wooden buckets and got busy to say hello.

"Mom, why are you carrying water?" Wenhong asked.

"Mom and your father got up early to plant vegetables. Your father has now gone to help others to do the work. Mom thought that the seeds had just been planted and had not been watered yet, so naturally she went to fetch water and water them."

He said briskly, he now has a vegetable patch at home and has planted seeds, which is indeed something to be happy about.

"Mom, why didn't you wait for me to come with you? You can't pick much by yourself. You could have woken me up earlier." Wenhong looked annoyed. He felt that he was lazy. His parents went to work and they didn't even know.

Sleeping as late as my younger brothers and sisters.

"Mom, it's not too early. Mom is waiting for you to help mom. Wenhong has grown up, and mom is very happy."

"Well, mother, let me help you fetch water. You should rest first." Wenhong felt very happy and satisfied after hearing what Lu said, and felt that he could also help the family.

"Mom, you're not tired. I haven't even carried much water. You can carry it with me. We can still talk, okay?"

Wenhong listened to his mother say this and nodded after thinking about it. He hadn't been close to his mother for a long time. Ever since his little brothers and sisters came out one by one, he gradually began to look like an older brother without knowing it.

, and also require myself to do this.

The two women talked and carried water. Time passed quickly, and soon half an acre of land was watered.

Mrs. Lu asked Wenhong to return the barrels, farm tools, dustpans, etc. to the second aunt's house, and thank them very much. They had been using them for a day, and I don't know if it had delayed their work.

Wenhong nodded in response and picked up these farm tools. Chunlan also came over and wanted to help return them together. Lu quickly stopped them.

"Chunlan, don't go out today. Let your eldest brother take the younger brother to return the farm tools. You should learn needlework from your mother. You are a 10-year-old girl. You are not allowed to run out anymore to help your mother.

Let’s change the coats sent by Qian Juren together.”

"Um...Mom...why did you suddenly think of letting me learn needlework? You know I don't like these things at all." Although Chunlan was reluctant, she also knew that her mother was doing her best and didn't want to embarrass her, but she was really

I really don't like it.

"You have to learn it even if you don't like it. Girls don't learn needlework. Do you want to learn farming? Our family didn't have the conditions for you to learn it before. Mom has always been concerned about it. Now that you can learn it after a lot of effort, just give it to me.

Just stay at home and don't think about going out if you haven't studied well." Lu was determined to let Chunlan succeed.

"The rest of you can go and play by yourself. Our family is finally done with the work. You can go out and have some fun. Recently, you have been staying at home." Ms. Lu smiled and asked them to go out and play by themselves.

The brothers and sisters returned the farm tools to their second aunt, thanked them, and then slowly headed home.

"Big brother, second brother, where are we going?" Xia Zhu couldn't help shouting.

"Brother, let's take my little sister to the river. My little sister has never come out to play. My grandma always wouldn't let her go."

"Okay, but you have to watch your little sister and don't get too close to the river." Wenhong thought that his sister was so young, but he hesitated a little, for fear of hurting her, which he didn't dare to think about.

The three siblings talked nonchalantly and soon arrived home. When Mrs. Lu heard that they were going to the river, she didn't object, she just gave them some instructions.

"Go, you have to hold the little bamboo tightly. Wenyou, don't mess around. Go and play by yourself, leaving your little sister behind.

This is what you said about taking your little sister to the river. If you went to play by yourself, don't blame your mother for not letting you take your little sister to play next time." Ms. Lu knew that Wenyou was naughty, so she didn't

Once you have given the instructions, you may disappear in a blink of an eye.

"Well, mother, Wenyou knows." Wenyou thought about his little sister's shining eyes. All the friends in the village envied him having a smart and obedient little sister.

The three brothers and sisters said goodbye to the Lu family and walked out of the courtyard holding hands, when intermittent voices came.

"Brother, mother asked me to take good care of my little sister, so you asked me to hold my little sister's hand." Wen You looked at his eldest brother holding his little sister's hand and refused to let go.

"Okay, okay, just hold the other side of my little sister."

"Then how can it be the same? It's our two brothers who are taking care of my little sister, not me. Brother, brother... don't walk so fast, wait for me."

"Hehe, little brother, I like having one brother on each hand. It would be great if we hold hands like this. When others see us, they will know that we are brother and sister."

Xia Zhu came to the rescue with a smile, saying that his second brother was so talkative that he kept chattering and always liked to tease himself.

"Since the little sister has said it, okay..." Wen You looked at the two brothers holding one of the little sister's hands, and they actually looked pretty good.

The three brothers and sisters gradually drifted away, and Ms. Lu narrowed her eyes as she listened.

"Okay, Chunlan, don't look at it anymore, and don't be envious. No matter how hard you stare, you can't see a flower. It's better for you to go back to your room with your mother and learn how to make a flower. It's more practical after you learn.

I can let you go out to play as soon as possible, just like them." Mrs. Lu teased the eldest girl Chunlan with a smile. Mrs. Lu also knew that Chunlan didn't like needlework, but she must be able to sew and mend anyway.

"Mom, please fool me. I have a headache just looking at these dense stitches. I can't even think about going out after studying. There's no use coaxing me. I know how much I weigh."

"Nonsense, which girl's family doesn't know how to sew? Look at the people in our village. No matter how bad they are, they can sew and mend. Why can't you do it? Although it's a few years late, our families are all divided now.

, and you have this condition, no matter what, I can’t treat you badly. You are the eldest sister, and I have been asking you to take care of several children. Mother also knows that I have suffered you. From now on, I will be at home with my mother every day, no matter what.

I have to cover up a flower."

"Come on, mother, I'm afraid I can only grow weeds." Chunlan said in a low voice.

"Chunlan, mother told you, don't even think about getting away with it. Mother will also help you pull out the weeds until the flowers come out." Ms. Lu vowed that her daughter would not be better than others.

The fault of my family is that it's just a few years too late and I just need to temper my temper.

Chunlan looked at Lu's determination and felt that it was superfluous to say anything, so just plant some weeds for her mother to pull out. There will always be flowers, forget it, she still didn't dare to think about holding an embroidery needle and embroidering flowers by herself.

, my scalp felt numb for a while.

Chunlan muttered and followed Mr. Lu into the room, pinching the embroidery needle. Ginger was still very spicy.
