Chapter 82 Sister, what is elementary school, can I go?
Barbaria's home is in a corner of the village, and there is another house more than 20 meters away. When Barbaria came back, all the men, women and children in the village saw it, and they couldn't help but smile warmly and fawningly:
"Barbaria, you're back? Did you go well?"
"smoothly."
Barbaria whispered.
"Then do you still need someone? Although my daughter-in-law is young, she can do anything. Can you help me ask?"
"No notification yet."
Barbaria smiled apologetically and quickened her pace.
Other families may be lively or deserted, but her home is undoubtedly deserted.
A few simple wooden houses are Barbaria's home.
Putting the farm tools she had brought back in a place where others could not steal them, Barbaria walked in with gentle steps.
A dirty little girl was stunned for a moment when she saw Barbaria, and then she cheered and ran towards Barbaria:
"Sister, you are back!"
The little girl threw herself into Barbaria's arms, causing her chest to hurt.
This is her sister. Barbaria looked at it and didn’t see her brother, so she asked:
"Where's brother?"
"I went to work in the fields. The manager said that if we don't finish working in our area today, we will be whipped."
The little girl is sensible and honest.
Barbaria frowned slightly, looked at her sister and whispered:
"Where are the clothes I bought for you?"
Barbaria lifted up her collar and looked, but there was nothing inside.
Barbaria had no money before. She only received money after becoming a white armband at Notre Dame, and the money belonged to her!
Speaking of clothes, the little girl's eyes turned red with grievance, and she cried:
"Dad took out my clothes and sold them for wine, and said it was useless for me to wear new clothes."
The little girl always lowered her voice when she cried, showing a sense of fear.
"Okay, don't cry anymore, sister will give it again..."
Barbaria originally wanted to buy it for her sister, but the result was definitely the same, and she couldn't help but feel angry. Fortunately, it was summer, and if it was autumn or winter, her sister would not freeze to death.
But she didn't dare to say anything.
"Where's father?"
Barbaria asked in a low voice.
"It's in my sister-in-law's room."
The little girl said timidly.
Barbaria sighed. No wonder the family was harshly criticized by the stewards. I'm afraid it was still the same as before. Her father's energy was spent on his sister-in-law.
She felt sorry for her brother, but she was even more worried about whether her brother would become like her father after her sister-in-law had offspring.
Barbaria took her sister to another wooden house and saw her mother who was doing embroidery for someone.
"Mother, I'm back."
Barbaria raised her voice slightly.
My mother's hearing is not very good, and my brother said that she was beaten by her father.
Maggie was stunned for a moment, then looked up and was pleasantly surprised when she saw Barbaria. She quickly stepped forward to hold Barbaria in her arms and kissed her cheek again, looking very excited and excited.
After the excitement, Maggie couldn't help complaining:
"Ellie, why are you coming back? Isn't it nice to be there?"
Ellie is Barbaria's nickname. Barbaria said helplessly:
"Mother, I can't help it. The nun ordered us to bring back a farm tool, and then notified the village to go to the place set up by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to trade it in for a new one."
Maggie was stunned for a moment, knowing that she couldn't count on her husband, and asked Barbaria to take her to see the farm tools.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw a disheveled woman fetching water in the yard. This woman's clothes were not even as good as Barbaria's sister, with a large area of skin exposed.
Seeing Barbaria, the woman was stunned for a moment, and then felt embarrassed.
She called out softly, but Barbaria didn't hear what she said clearly. Barbaria said:
"Sister-in-law, let me help you."
While fetching water, the woman shed tears, and Barbaria sighed.
As for Barbaria's mother, she had already taken the little girl to the side, as if she hadn't seen anything.
This kind of thing has been caused by troubles and struggles, but nothing has changed except a severe beating. As time goes by, Maggie pretends that nothing happened.
Then she followed Barbaria and saw the farm tools, and Maggie went to notify the villagers on behalf of Barbaria's father.
Barbaria, on the other hand, took her sister with new farm tools to the field that their family was responsible for.
Seeing her brother working, Barbaria shouted:
"Brother, do it with this."
Barry was surprised to see Barbaria back.
Although I know through this sister that Notre Dame will give the armbands a day off, usually Barbaria will not come back.
Barry looked happy and did not work with the new farm tools. He pulled Barbaria aside and asked:
"Ellie, you're back. I've been looking forward to you every day. Have you brought money back? Give it to me."
Barbaria shook her head and said:
"Brother, I gave you money and you went gambling again. Haven't you ever thought about buying clothes for your sister-in-law?"
Barry said with a playful smile:
"Why are you buying clothes? You can't even wear them."
Seeing her brother's appearance, the way he played with her when he was a child gradually disappeared, Barbaria felt very disappointed.
But she couldn't ask for anything, because the whole village was like this.
Barbaria took out 40 kopecks from her pocket and said:
"Brother, this is mine for two months. You can use it sparingly. If nothing happens after this time, I won't come back."
Barry took the money and snorted: "How dare you! You can eat for free there and you can't spend money on painting. Why are you keeping it?"
Barbaria said:
"Can't I keep it for my little sister and brother? I heard rumors that a primary school is being opened to accept serfs. The adults must have a deeper intention in making this decision. There must be a future in primary school!"
Barry didn't understand what Barbaria was talking about and didn't care. He just threatened and ran away impatiently.
Barbaria knew that her brother had gone gambling again, and her heart bleeds when she thought that this was her money for two months.
Then she looked to the side. The girl's little body picked up a large farm tool and raised it above her head with difficulty. She originally wanted to hoe the ground, but was lifted up by the weight of the farm tool and fell down.
With a "pop" sound, he fell down and squatted down.
Barbaria sighed, walked over, picked up her sister, and said to her:
"Look, this is how this farm tool is used."
Barbaria's petite body began to do farm work. She had long been accustomed to this kind of work. When she was around, both her father and brother would let her do it.
While working, the little girl asked innocently:
"Sister, what is elementary school? Can I go there?"
Barbaria smiled and replied:
"Sister, I don't know what it is now, but it seems that I can learn a lot. If you learn a lot, you will get a good price by then."
"Really?"
The little girl was overjoyed, her eyes twinkling.
Barbaria didn't know yet, but she pretended it was true and nodded vigorously!
