Although our village is big, she doesn't know many people. Among her peers, the only one who is in the same class as her is Qin Lili. Originally there was Ling Chunxia, but she has gone to town now.
She also needs to find two people so that she can complete the task within two days.
Qin Lili thought for a moment and said, "Is it okay for my sister?"
Qin Lili's younger sister, Qin Dandan, is now in the third grade, but... looking at her dull eyes and chubby little hands, let's forget it! If it doesn't do any harm, thank God.
"No!" Ling Xiaowei shook her head.
Qin Lili's eyes suddenly flashed and she pointed to the south and said, "I thought about it. Let's go to the small square to find someone. There are people from the next village over there. I know two girls."
People from Xiaowei Village next door!
This is fine.
Qin Lili packed up her homework, closed the door to her home, took her sister and went to the small square.
In the small square, there are many children playing. The school is on holiday and the parents are busy at the farm. No one is taking care of the children. They are all out to play in the wild!
Qin Lili glanced at the small square, frowning slightly, but did not see the girl with her.
But there were other girls about the same age as them in the small square, and several groups danced rubber bands together.
At this time, two more girls came, holding rubber bands in their hands, looking around as if they were looking for someone. They set their sights on Ling Xiaowei and the others, then ran over and said, "Do you want to dance rubber bands with us?"
"
"We don't do rubber band jumping." Ling Xiaowei waved her hand, and then she said to the two girls: "Do you want to do part-time work? It's fifty cents a piece."
"Fifty cents! You lied to us!" One of the two girls looked Ling Xiaowei up and down and said with a look of disbelief.
Ling Xiaowei is not as tall as the two of them. For such a young girl, she is not afraid of flashing her tongue when she says such big words.
"Really, it's fifty cents each, I won't lie to you!" Ling Xiaowei said sincerely.
Even Qin Lili came forward to persuade her, but the two girls just didn't believe it and left in disgust.
"Ling Xiaowei, they don't believe it, what should I do?" Qin Lili said a little frustrated.
"It's okay, let's go to those girls and ask." She is not someone who gives up easily.
But I asked a few more girls, and they either didn’t believe it or were not interested. For them, it was a rare holiday and they didn’t get the chance to have fun.
Just when Ling Xiaowei was about to give up, a timid voice came from behind her, "Well, what you said is true! Do you really want to give me fifty cents?"
Ling Xiaowei was very excited when she heard the voice. When she turned around and looked at the person, she was a little disappointed. This little girl was so thin, with a sallow face and thin muscles. She was not as tall as Qin Dandan.
Even Qin Dandan looked down on this little girl. Ling Xiaowei shook her head subconsciously, "Little girl, you are too young. My job is a delicate one, and you may not be able to do it."
"Sister, I am nine years old and in the third grade. I often help my mother with work at home. I can also make dumplings, sew clothes, and everything!" The little girl tried her best to promote herself, her eyes full of desire.
Ling Xiaowei looked a little familiar to this little girl, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before. She only saw that the singlet she wore was ill-fitting and had a lot of patches, but each patch was patched very carefully, with needlework.
Very neat and detailed.
"Did you sew these patches yourself?" Ling Xiaowei felt like a contractor in the old days who came to the dock to find workers and was picky.
But there is no other way! When she takes a job, she must complete it with quality and quantity, and she must be honest.
"I sewed it myself, sister, please believe me. If I don't do it well, just don't give me money." The little girl reached out to pull Ling Xiaowei's sleeve and begged her to sew her.
The outstretched hand stopped in mid-air. The clothes on this sister's body were so beautiful that she didn't dare to touch them.
I saw the little girl's innocent and eager eyes, and also saw that although her hands were rough, they were long and thin, so she must be dexterous.
Ling Xiaowei's heart softened, let's give it a try! He should be smarter if he speaks so eloquently.
"Okay, it's just you, what's your name?" Ling Xiaowei asked.
"My name is Qiao Yue."
Oh... Qiao Yue? Huh...
"Is your brother's name Qiao Lei?" Ling Xiaowei remembered. She had seen her when going to the market. This was one of Qiao Lei's sisters!
Qiao Yue nodded, "Qiao Lei is my second brother." Then Qiao Yue's eyes lit up and she said happily: "I remembered, you are the sister who gave us crabapple cakes."
What a coincidence!
Ling Xiaowei laughed, nodded and said: "Well, it's me, um, you come with me to my house now, find the way, look at the raw materials, and come over after lunch."
Qiao Yue nodded happily, and then followed Ling Xiaowei to Ling Xiaowei's house. After knowing the way, she went home.
Today at noon, Ling Xiaowei made lunch. Zhang Cuifen and her grandma were still cutting rapeseed in the fields. Naturally, she had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of making lunch.
In the morning, Zhang Cuifen went to buy ribs early in the morning. During the busy farming season, no one would treat her badly. Moreover, conditions have improved recently, so meat is affordable.
First, open the back door of the hut. Once the front and rear doors are opened, the house becomes brighter and cooler. There are several vegetable plots in the backyard, which are divided into several sections. Seasonal vegetables are planted there. The green area is endless. In the distance, there is an endless horizon.
The wheat fields, the wheat in the wheat fields are all
Ling Xiaowei pulled up green vegetables and picked a few green peppers in the field in the backyard. There was also a bunch of sprouted garlic in the field. It was perfect to eat this season and was very tender.
I went back to the house and took a small shovel. I used the blade of the shovel to lightly scratch it, then pulled it out again and again. A complete piece of garlic sprouts was pulled out. It was green and tender. The pork ribs were stewed with garlic sprouts. Just thinking about it made my mouth water.
After picking the vegetables, she sat on the steps of the back room and selected the vegetables. The chicken and green vegetables were very tender, and the roasted vegetable soup was particularly thirst-quenching. If tofu was added, it would be even more delicious. Green vegetable and tofu soup was her favorite.
Ling Xiaowei swallowed while choosing vegetables, her stomach growled.
"Xiaowei, are you cooking lunch?" In the farmland not far away, the neighbor's aunt said with a smile.
"Well, the adults are all busy in the fields, so I can only make lunch!" Ling Xiaowei said.
The neighbor's aunt said with envy: "It's better to have a daughter! My daughter can also help with the cooking. I gave birth to a son just to collect debts. He is very lazy and eats well..." The neighbor's aunt sighed. She has a son who is very lazy and eats well. He studies.
No, now I am uneducated and have no skills, and I am just doing nothing all day long.
Ling Xiaowei didn't bite. She couldn't afford to offend this neighbor's aunt. In her previous life, she had come to her house to ask for her hand in marriage. She wanted to marry her to her lazy and delicious son. When she thought of her son, she looked so arrogant.
It was just a chill, not to mention she was not even fifteen years old at the time.
