After the children came back from school, the original owner wiped away his tears and went to cook for them.
The fire could not be contained, and the eldest son still found out about the cancer.
Liu Xinxuan was usually taciturn and didn't like to talk much, so he went back to school and dropped out without saying a word. He told the original owner that he should take good care of her illness and that he would be responsible for the family in the future.
Even if the original owner dies herself, she cannot drag down the child.
But the eldest son was as stubborn as a cow. He refused to go to school if he said he didn't want to go to school. He knelt in front of his original owner and didn't get up all day and night.
If the original owner didn't let go, he could kneel to death in front of the original owner, and the original owner, who felt sorry for his son, had no choice but to agree.
It was impossible for Liu Xintong not to notice the huge changes that had taken place in her family, but every time she asked about it, the other two would prevaricate.
But as time went by, the original owner's health became worse and worse. Liu Xintong was not a fool, so how could she not see it. She was shocked and angry and actually made the decision to drop out of school, saying that she would go out to work to earn money for her mother's medical expenses.
Both his son and daughter were ruined by him. The original owner, who had devoted his life to raising children, could not bear this blow. He lost weight very quickly and died soon after.
The timing of Su Zhan's arrival was very good. At this time, the original owner's body had not yet had any problems.
She had sorted out the memory of the original owner, and the food for the two brothers and sisters over there was almost ready.
They made sweet potato porridge and a plate of washed and fried pickles from a jar at home.
Almost every household of the farmers here has this skill. In winter, they wash some vegetables suitable for pickling, rub them, add salt and put them into jars, and then they can be eaten all year round.
As for sweet potatoes, farmers dig a big hole on their land and store the sweet potatoes inside, where they can be kept for a long time.
Su Zhan took a look at the two brothers and sisters who should be regarded as his children with satisfied faces now, and compared them with the children he had raised before, and felt deeply that this should be the easiest child he had ever raised.
Su Zhan picked up the sweet potato porridge, took a bite of pickles, and ate the whole bowl of sweet potato porridge with the pickles.
This bowl is not like the small bowls that were later made exquisite for the sake of appearance. Each one is a bowl of the sea. Su Zhan drank a whole bowl of porridge and felt his stomach, not feeling full.
Looking at the behavior of the two children who were almost licking their bowls after eating, she was too embarrassed to say another bowl.
"Mom, you have a day off today, and we will do whatever you have to do." Liu Xinxuan said seriously.
Su Zhan Yile, the original owner still has some memories of what happened today.
It was now the seventh month of the lunar calendar, a hot summer day, and she had been doing it for several days in a row before she fainted from heat stroke.
After the original owner rested, he quickly went to the ground again.
Su Zhan remembered that she was going to reclaim a piece of wasteland and planned to grow some vegetables for food.
Reclaiming wasteland is inherently tiring work, and usually the whole family is involved, and it takes several days to complete the task.
The original owner was alone. He woke up early and went into the dark. It was no surprise that he fainted when exposed to the sun.
"Okay, I'll feel better after a while. You go down and go to school." Su Zhan said in an unquestionable tone?
Needless to say, the original owner’s wish was to raise her two children until they could enter college.
Therefore, how could Su Zhan be willing to let them use their school time to help her with work? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
At most, after school is over, she will come back to catch young men.
Liu Xinxuan's brows were furrowed, and it seemed that she strongly disapproved of her actions that did not consider her body.
Su Zhan pinched his cheek. He was so thin and had no flesh at all on his face. It was really uncomfortable to pinch him. He had to feed the two children to make them fatter.
"With your little arms and legs, what can you do to help your mother? You should concentrate on studying." Su Zhan said with a smile.
Liu Xinxuan lowered his head in frustration, because he found that what his mother said was indeed right. In his current state, he really couldn't be of much help.
After taking a short rest in the afternoon, Su Zhan immediately drove the older one back to school, and the younger one asked her to take a nap in bed.
As for Su Zhan himself, he carried a hoe and iron catalpa to the place where the original owner had opened up wasteland.
It is said to be an abandoned field, but in fact it was originally an acre of land allocated to the original owner's family. However, the original owner took care of the previous field and had no time to cultivate another field, so it continued to be abandoned.
This wasteland is located at the foot of Daliu Mountain, not far from the entrance of Daliu Mountain. Usually few people come in and out, so it is quiet.
When Su Zhan came, the weeds and branches in this field had been almost cleared by the original owner. The first thing she had to do was to dig ditches.
It roughly means dividing an entire field into rows.
Although the original owner is just an ordinary rural woman, she has a thin layer of muscles from her years of farm work.
Especially after Su Zhan arrived, her soul affected the body, so she shoveled down a handful of soil without pausing at all.
If others saw this scene, they might think they were dazzled.
This field is very large, probably more than an acre, and even a non-human like Su Zhan spent a lot of time digging ditches.
The most troublesome thing is that because it is close to the forest, the land is full of thick tree roots, making it particularly troublesome to clean up.
Not only the tree roots, but also a bamboo forest around here. Anyone with experience in this area knows that it is also very difficult to clean the bamboo roots.
When the fields were first divided, almost everyone in the village did not want this relatively large piece of land because it was very difficult to clear.
Anyone with some brains would rather choose a smaller but easier-to-clean field.
So, despite the vast area of this farmland, the original owner and his family actually suffered a loss.
It's just that there are only a few women in their family, and they have no say in the village, so they can only knock out their teeth and swallow them.
Su Zhan secretly praised the original owner, because the original owner was the one who turned this field into what an acre of land should look like.
It is really unimaginable how an ordinary woman with only an ordinary passing ability could clear this field full of tree roots and bamboo roots by herself so that it can be planted normally.
After admiring her, Su Zhan worked hard. If she hadn't been different from ordinary people, she might not have been able to adapt to the sudden change from a little kitten who only had to act cute to get delicious food to a farmer who drove wasteland.
.
This gap is not generally large.
Even with Su Zhan's inhuman strength, he could only clear more than half of the land in the entire afternoon.
She is no longer a cat that can act coquettishly and cutely. As the head of the family, she must learn to recycle waste.
Therefore, Su Zhan found some tough grass and twisted it into straw ropes to tie up the tree roots and bamboo roots she dug up and take them home.
Take these things back and dry them, and they will become good firewood.
