"Xiao Li, I will heat up the rice for them and steam the vegetables for you." Han Lixia said and went to the main room.
Zhao Yanli's eyes were red. At this moment, Zhao Xiuzhen and Zhao Yanmei came into the yard.
"Second uncle, second aunt."
"What are you two doing at my house?"
"This is my second uncle's house, what's wrong with me here?" Zhao Yanmei snorted and shouted back unceremoniously.
Zhao Yanli looked at her father, the man who was supposed to support her, but he just stood there and said nothing.
Now the little girl really gave up.
"Humph." He hummed and entered the eldest brother's house.
At this time, the four brothers and sisters were delivering Japanese melons to the cellar. They also heard people coming from outside. So they moved much faster, but they were careful not to make any noise.
When the five of them came out, they saw the two sisters collecting the pine cones.
Zhao Yanli went crazy. She picked up a fire stick and rushed towards the two of them to whip it out.
"You're shameless, I picked this up."
Both of them were older than her, so they only got a few blows. After reacting, Zhao Yanmei rushed over.
When Zhao Xiaojing saw that her sister was about to suffer a loss, she also rushed over with a stick.
Zhao Tian sighed on the side, "Stop, Xiaoli, stop it."
Originally, if Zhao Tian had not said anything, Zhao Xiaojing and Zhao Yanli would have just slapped each other with a few sticks. His words would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire.
This time the beating was even more severe, "You are a bunch of shameless people who want to eat my food. Even if they throw it away, they won't give it to you."
Han Lixia was lighting a fire in the main room, and when she heard the noise outside, she sighed and did not go out.
How could Zhao Xiuzhen and Zhao Yanmei be the rivals of Zhao Yanli and her sisters? They still had sticks in their hands. After a while, the two sisters screamed, "Second uncle, second uncle, just don't care, just watch them bully us."
Zhao Tian was also very angry and couldn't even speak.
So he was about to step forward, but was stopped by his two sons.
Although it was already dark, there were still bright lights from the stars. Zhao Tian looked at the two sons who were blocking him and had no expression on their faces. He suddenly felt discouraged.
The sisters were beaten away, and now the only sound left in the yard was the rapid breathing of the two sisters. It was unusually quiet.
Zhao Qingxiang looked at his father who looked annoyed and knew that he must be regretting not helping his niece.
Now Han Lixia came out of the main room.
"You five come over for dinner."
Zhao Yanli threw down the stick, "Brother, sister, let's go have a meal. We all earned this through our own work."
The five brothers and sisters ate in silence, and the couple sat on one side. Zhao Tian couldn't describe how he felt now.
After the five of them finished eating, Zhao Yanping got up and cleaned up. The remaining four brothers and sisters left. The three sisters felt sorry for their eldest brother and the second brother. They came back this time carrying three bags in a box.
Back to the boss's house, "Brother, I will go with you tomorrow. I must go to Jiangbei. Even if any of you don't want to go, I will go." Zhao Yanli said angrily.
"Okay, we will go tomorrow. If possible, we will sign up ourselves." Although Zhao Qingxiang made up his mind, he still hesitated. After what happened just now, he made up his mind completely.
Only Zhao Tian, his wife and the eldest daughter were left in the main room.
"Xiao Ping." Han Lixia called her eldest daughter.
Zhao Yanping, who was washing the dishes, sighed inwardly.
Knowing the character of her parents, she actually agrees with her younger sister's idea. Her parents are still young now. If she really waits until they are older, then she can pick them up if it doesn't work. It's better to leave now.
The couple could not get a response from the eldest daughter. Zhao Tian knew that the children were angry, and he felt uncomfortable, so he sighed and went back to the house.
When Han Lixia saw her husband leaving, she also went in.
Their family has four main houses, and the three sisters live across from their parents. The two brothers have separate entrances.
Zhao Yanping cleaned up and went to her eldest brother's room.
"Let's rest for a while and go back in the middle of the night. Let's be careful then."
So the three sisters simply washed up and went back to the house to lie down.
Zhao Qingjie did not take off his clothes and lay on the kang. At the age of seventeen, he was now an adult.
"Brother, is it okay for us all to leave?"
"Let's go. After more than ten years, let's go with the two of them. After all, it's a formal job."
"Okay, let the five of us go together tomorrow. If you can, just sign up."
"Okay, let's all go. Without us, maybe dad won't be in such a difficult situation."
The five brothers and sisters didn't know what time it was, but they knew it was midnight, so the five of them set off with their baskets on their backs.
It wasn't until the sky started to light up that I got all the Japanese melons back. There were more than eighty of them.
The five people have already agreed to go to the county together today.
Since they had no money in their hands, they had to walk directly there. But even so, they decided to go.
In fact, Zhao Tian and his wife really didn't notice that the children went out in the middle of the night, mainly because they were too tired. Although many people are lazy, Zhao Tian is not that kind of person. He still does the same thing, even more than doing it for himself.
Be careful.
So I didn’t know that there are a lot of Japanese melons at home now.
When the five brothers and sisters returned home, they boiled water to wash themselves. Two little girls boiled water. Zhao Yanping washed all the clothes of the five brothers and sisters.
At this time, the couple also came out. The four brothers and sisters all called their parents lightly, but Zhao Yanli didn't say anything at all.
The whole family packed up and went to the canteen to eat. In the morning, they had porridge. It was still the kind of gruel with more wild vegetables and less grain.
The five brothers and sisters didn't eat the food last night, but now they have something to eat at noon today.
Zhao Xiuzhen and her five siblings looked like five-eyed chickens, but they really didn't dare to do anything, they just stared at them with their eyes.
Zhao Yanli doesn't pay attention to them at all now. It's best to piss them off to death.
After breakfast, the adults all went to work, and the five brothers and sisters left directly. The village's management was not strict now, so no one took care of them.
They walked for more than four hours from the village to the county. Zhao Yanli was actually gritting her teeth and persisting. Just to be able to leave here, she also worked hard.
Zhao Yanli heard what Su Yuanyuan said, so the five siblings came over directly.
Knowing that Jiangbei still needs people, Zhao Qingxiang and the other five said they would sign up to go there.
"Only one of you is qualified. The other four are not old enough and cannot go."
Zhao Yanli was anxious. "Comrade, we are brothers and sisters. Can you go with my elder brother?"
"You will have no wages or receipts when you go, but you can transfer in in the future when you are old enough."
