The two sisters heard the little sister's cry and ran out immediately.
There was no one at home, so the two sisters took their younger sister with them when they went out to work.
Zhao Xiaole was very skillful in giving water to the little sister.
Seeing that her little sister was okay, Zhao Xiaoling put the cotton in her shoulder bag and the basket she was carrying into a snakeskin bag.
"Xiao Le, I'm going to do it first."
"Sister, please wait for me for a while. I will carry Xiaohong on my back and keep her in the frame, so that we can rest assured."
The two sisters got into the cotton field. In fact, Zhao Qingxiang didn't want them to be so tired. The family also hired people this year, but the two girls knew that they felt sorry for their parents and wanted to save money for the family, so they thought they would work more.
This saves some labor.
Besides, picking cotton is either too tiring or too prickly.
The two sisters stayed there until it was dark and they were out of sight, and the little girl in the frame fell asleep. Then they came back from the fields. They hitched up the car at home and went to the fields to haul cotton.
Zhao Qingxiang also just arrived home. "You two rest at home, I'll go get it."
"Dad, you are too tired."
"It's okay, I haven't fed the pigs and chickens at home." Zhao Qingxiang felt sorry for his two sensible daughters.
The two sisters stopped arguing. Zhao Xiaoling went to boil water for cooking, while Zhao Xiaole fed the pigs and chickens and came back to fill them up at noon.
Sun Yun also came back from the wheat field and saw the two daughters at home working, "Why haven't you cooked yet? You just eat for free."
In fact, she didn't dare to say anything even worse.
The two sisters did not dare to refute, they were busy running around anyway. Zhao Xiaohong sat on the bench in the yard.
The two girls did not speak, but Sun Yun was still dissatisfied, "You are just losing money. Don't you know how to save money and keep it for your brother in the future? If you want to go to school, don't see if you have that fate?"
Zhao Xiaoling held back her tears and said nothing. The cornmeal buns had already been put on. There was meat at home, so she cut off a piece of potatoes and stewed them.
Sun Yun stood in the yard and cursed. Her husband was not at home, so he took this opportunity to vent his anger.
While she was scolding vigorously, Zhao Qingxiang drove back.
This time Sun Yun stopped scolding. "Just rest and do it."
"This is picked by the two sisters Xiaoling."
Sun Yun owed it to me to help unload the truck.
The vegetables were stewed in the pot. Zhao Xiaoling hurriedly got water and gave the little sister a bath. The child would have finished eating and went to bed soon.
Zhao Qingxiang felt very uncomfortable when he saw that his two daughters were never idle. The eldest daughter had been cooking since she was four years old. At that time, she could not reach the stove and had to cook on a small bench.
The second daughter also started working behind the eldest sister at the age of four.
The two girls were not idle at all, and they had to look after the old girl.
He is very satisfied with these two girls. This is his pride.
Zhao Xiaole prepared hot water for his parents, who also wanted to take a bath.
When the steamed buns and potatoes were cooked, Zhao Xiaoling took out a bowl of potatoes and four large steamed buns to deliver to her grandparents.
"Xiao Ling, I'll go."
"Dad, just rest, I'll go." Dad was really tired. And he was so kind to them, so he felt sorry for him and wanted him to rest a little longer.
Zhao Xiaole fed his little sister, and he also took a few bites in the meantime.
Sun Yun just eats by herself and doesn't care about her little girl at all. The child is not even two years old yet. But she really doesn't care much about it.
Zhao Qingxiang is used to her being like this. He will also feed the younger daughter a few mouthfuls and add two pieces of meat to the second daughter. "Xiao Le, eat meat."
"Okay dad."
Although he said so, he didn't eat it.
Zhao Xiaoling arrived at her grandfather’s house carrying a basket.
After all, Zhao Tian and his wife were old, so they lay down on the kang after they came back, thinking that they would wait until they had enough rest before cooking.
"Grandma, I've brought you food."
An Lixia forced herself to sit up.
"Nai, please don't get up. I'll set the table for you and you can eat first."
Zhao Tian looked at his eldest granddaughter, how could this child be so sensible? No, he must tell his old daughter that the eldest daughter must pay more attention to this girl.
Zhao Xiaoling set the table for the old couple, served miso, pickles, and plucked a few green onions.
"Grandma, you guys eat, I'm going back."
"Be careful, you don't have to bring us food all the time."
Zhao Xiaoling just smiled, turned around and ran away without saying anything.
"This child is so sensible." An Lixia said while eating.
"Isn't that right? Wait for Guoqing and Xiaobing to come over and tell them to pay more attention to Xiaoling.
He was so big just now, he had to do any kind of work, and he drove here without giving up."
"Well, we must tell them. Sun Yun is good at everything, but she doesn't like the daughter she gave birth to."
"It's okay, we can still do it. Let's save more for her and Xiaole."
After the couple had eaten, they got up and tidied up. The animals at home had not been fed or washed. They had been working for a day and it felt uncomfortable not to wash them.
After Zhao Xiaoling arrived home, they had almost finished eating. They saw that there were more than half a bowl of potatoes left and a big steamed bun.
"Sister, you hurry up and eat. I'll put Xiaohong to sleep. The table is waiting for me to clear."
Zhao Qingxiang plucked an onion for his daughter and said, "Xiaoling, eat it quickly."
"Mom and Dad, you go to bed, I'll just finish eating and clean up."
She knew she would start breaking corn tomorrow. She planned to go to the fields at four in the morning.
Zhao Xiaoling had just finished eating. Zhao Xiaole also came out. She kept four pieces of meat in her bowl, and the two sisters ate two pieces each.
In fact, she knew that two of the four dollars must have been left to her by her sister.
After eating, I hurriedly cleaned up, and Zhao Xiaoling also served the noodles. I will steam the steamed buns to eat tomorrow morning.
The two sisters didn't know what time they got on the kang, but they still peed for the younger sister.
Hearing the noise, Zhao Xiaoling opened her eyes with difficulty. She was really tired. A little girl who is not even ten years old, who doesn't like to sleep?
It was still difficult to get up, but no movement was made. The second sister was also too tired.
"Xiaoling, go to bed." Zhao Qingxiang felt really distressed when he saw the eldest daughter coming out.
"Dad, it's okay. I'll cook and deliver it to you later."
"Don't be so anxious. You can go sleep for a while."
Sun Yun also got up at this time, but a mother didn't say anything.
"Mom and Dad, I'm fine. I've prepared a meal and sent it to you."
Zhao Qingxiang and his wife went there with sickles. Zhao Xiaoling started cooking, and the noodles had already risen. After thinking about it, she went to cut the leeks in the dark, and steamed some steamed buns with the shrimp skins sent by her aunt.
Zhao Xiaoling moved very quickly. After an hour, the buns were steamed in the pot, and she immediately started cooking the pigs. She also mixed the chicken with chicken food.
At this time, Zhao Xiaole also got up and quickly took over the work from the elder sister.
