Chapter 644: Elder sister is like mother 4

"Hey, grandma, I'll go right away."

Jian Yi glanced at the old man next to him, reluctantly played the open string twice more, then handed it to the old man with a loud voice and said: "Grandpa, I'm going to do the laundry. We'll practice on the accuracy tomorrow."

.”

The old man looked at his old wife, then at his eldest granddaughter and the bow she handed over. He was silent, and then the bow in Jian Yan's hand said warmly: "Okay, good boy, you go do the laundry first, your grandma and I will talk.

"

Jian Yan raised his eyebrows in confusion, said nothing, smiled obediently, turned around, picked up the tub and walked out the door.

"Let's go into the house and talk."

When the old man saw Jian Yi walking away, he took it and walked inside.

"say what?"

Seeing her husband's serious face, the old lady became curious, so she rubbed the mud on her trouser legs and walked inside. After entering the house, she followed the old man's wishes and closed the door.

"What are you doing? It's mysterious."

The old man sat down by the bed, thought for a while, looked at his wife and said: "Old lady, starting from tomorrow, you can share the work of the eldest girl. The second and third girls are also old, so you can help as much as possible.

Get busy..."

Before the old man could finish what he said, Mrs. Miao immediately jumped up and retorted: "How can that be done? The family is in such a difficult situation right now. Is it possible that we don't ask the eldest girl to do anything and let her be idle as the eldest lady?"

"Besides, the second and third girls also want to see my two eldest grandchildren."

Seeing that the old wife couldn't finish her words and just kept mumbling, the old man not only frowned, but also listened patiently to what the old wife meant, and took advantage of her pause to take a breath. The old man hurriedly said: "Okay, wait until I finish talking.

.”

"I didn't say anything about not letting the big girl do it. Why are you so anxious?"

"Wasn't I just trying to keep my head away? Then the older girl came over and said she wanted to give it a try, so I asked her to try it. It turned out that this kid was actually very powerful."

As he said that, the old man pointed to the bow on the table in front of him, "This bow was used by me when I was young. When the bow was ready, many young men saw me hunting deer with it, and they were envious. They came over to borrow the bow one by one, and they also thought

Go hunting in the mountains.

The result? How many of those boys who farm every day can draw the bow to full? It seems that there are only two iron bolts for the pillars? But even so, the two of them could barely draw the bow to full, trying to nock an arrow and shoot.

The target is accurate, but it still can’t be achieved.”

Listening to the old man reminiscing about the past, Mrs. Miao's eyes flashed with light, "You mean, you, a big girl like you, can draw the bow to full capacity and still hit the target?"

The old man patted his thigh vigorously in excitement, "No."

"Let me tell you, this child is truly a member of our old Miao family. Like her father and me, she has a lot of strength in her hands."

"No, the eldest girl is much more capable than her father. How many years did her father have to practice before he was sixteen or seventeen before he could use the bow freely?

As for the eldest girl, she is very capable. Just now I watched her kiss and pull the bow, and the bow was fully drawn by her, and the arrow hit the target."

"So, I was thinking, how about I give her the hunting skills and take her for a few laps in the mountains, so that if I kick my legs one day, you girls can have a place to stay.

I can also close my eyes with peace of mind.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Miao was silent, silently calculating the gains and losses in her heart.

She did not doubt that what the old man said was all lies to her. After all, she had been married into Lao Miao's family for decades. She knew exactly who the old man was. He was a dull and honest man who never talked nonsense.

People play.

"If that's the case, what about the work at home and in the fields? How can I do it alone?"

Mr. Miao muttered: "In this way, you will have to work harder these days. I will help you when I have free time. When the girl gets familiar with the mountain, I will stay and take care of the fields. What do you think?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Seeing that the old man had said this and thinking about his wife's body, Mrs. Miao naturally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then remember to prepare a good meal for your child. Whether it is practicing accuracy or going into the mountains, it is strenuous work. If there is nothing in the stomach, the hands and feet are really weak, and it is also very dangerous. There are dangers in the mountains here.

The wild boar is here."

"Pa"

When Mrs. Miao saw her husband even saying this, she immediately became unhappy and slapped him in the face.

"How can I still not know this? Didn't I help you and the child's father in the first place?"

As she said this, Mrs. Miao was so angry that she rolled her eyes again.

The old man rubbed his shoulders twice without any pain, grinned, and the strings that had been tight these days also loosened.

The old man had never had a good night's sleep since the death of his son, and there was always a big stone weighing on his heart, which made him feel chest tight and short of breath all day long. If it weren't for the family, old and young, he would have collapsed.

There is no way, the pressure of survival is too great, and I am afraid that I will not be able to support my family; I am afraid that my body is not important, and my children will lose their legs before they grow up.

It's better now. The eldest girl is very capable. As long as she works hard, the family will be able to make some money. He can also drag this broken body for a few more days and take care of the juniors below, so as not to call them others.

Bullied.

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, feeling that he couldn't do anything to the eldest girl.

After all, the eldest girl is a girl's family, not a boy's family.

Although he doesn't value men and women, he still has to take into account the opinions of the people around him.

If you are going to hunt in the mountains, you must first have some real hands and feet. At the very least, you must be able to run, jump, and climb trees when encountering danger, and have a hatchet that can chop down those wild animals.

In addition, the daily work of practicing archery accuracy and touch cannot be neglected. Over time, no matter the arms, waist, or legs, it is impossible to lose weight.

When the age comes, the gap between you and other girls will be huge.

Although it is not impossible to get married, it may be a little difficult to marry well.

The old man looked at his old wife seriously and said solemnly: "Old lady, after all, we owe the eldest girl a lot. In the future, can you please be more tolerant to her?"

"Look at what you said. It's like you're talking about how unkind I am to the old woman. Am I that kind of person?" Mrs. Miao's face stiffened and she smiled unnaturally.

After she came back from doing the laundry, Jian Jian found that Mrs. Miao's attitude towards her had improved a lot. Not only did she no longer yell or curse at her, but she also took over the cooking duties in the kitchen and continued to do so.

Push her towards the old man.

Seeing this, Jian Yian more or less guessed what the old man might have said to the old lady just now, which was just to ask her to treat her better and stop assigning her so much work.

The old man and Miao's father had said these words to the old lady in the past, but with little effect. When they were agitated, they would intensify and make trouble for the original owner, or they would cry endlessly and scold the old man and Miao's father for their lack of conscience.

But this time, as soon as the old man said it, the effect was immediate. It seemed that the old man had explained everything to the old lady clearly, and asked her to understand who the family would rely on for food in the future.

I am very satisfied with this.
