Chapter 4 A Loving Embrace



Wei Meihua glared at her daughter. Everyone in this family knew that the second brother and his wife earned the most work points. Without the second brother's family, the whole family would have to take care of two old people, especially the mother-in-law. Don't think that the mother-in-law treats her well. That's in comparison with the second brother and his wife. In fact, she is not good at all.

She is such a troublesome daughter, but her eldest son Song Chengjiu is indeed nineteen years old. If Xiulan gets married, she will have to arrange for Chengjiu to meet a good match and give birth to a good grandson. There will definitely not be enough space for them to live in this house, so the family has to be divided into two families. Only then can they ask the village chief to allocate more land.

Wei Meihua, who had compromised, also spoke up, "Yes, Mom, our grandchildren are going to get married and have children too, but you have to see what the granddaughters-in-law are like. If they come into the family, we have to expand the house. If we don't divide the family, we won't be able to get land. What if your great-grandson feels that the family is too small and doesn't come?"

The eldest son, eldest grandson, and eldest great-grandson, who are the lifeblood of Old Mrs. Song, have loosened their grip.

"I'll discuss the matter of dividing the family property with your father tonight and tell you the result tomorrow. Get out of here!"

From marriage exchange to separation, the two things seem to have made a breakthrough.

They left the main hall obediently, and the two families parted ways at the door. The eldest went to the left, and the second returned to the right. In fact, they were both wondering whether the family division would be successful? How would it be divided?

"Mom, let's hug each other." Song Jiayu returned to her little room and turned around to hug Ms. Zhao Qiuqin.

"What are you doing again, kid?" Zhao Qiuqin accepted her daughter's hug. She liked her children's dependence on her very much. Unfortunately, the second child Tianshun was naturally steady, and the third child Beiwang was a mischievous monkey. Only the eldest daughter had been able to act coquettishly since she was a child. Couldn't she favor the eldest daughter more?

"whee."

Song Jiayu let go of her mother, opened the door of the small room and went in. The reward from the character check-in system had already come down.

[Complete the task of giving a loving hug to mother Zhao Qiuqin and successfully check in Zhao Qiuqin. You will be rewarded with 20 kilograms of rice. It has been distributed to the warehouse. Please check it yourself.]

She actually checked it and clicked on the warehouse panel. Although it was the size of a football field, she could only see the same grid as the game backpack page, and there were twenty more kilograms of rice in the grid.

It seems that my mother is worried about having enough to eat every day. Otherwise, there are only five tasks related to my mother's work a month. When I check in, it is either rice, flour, cornmeal, or sweet potato, all of which are foods that can fill the stomach.

There are already more than thirty grids on the panel, and there are quite a lot of supplies inside, including thirty kilograms of sweet potatoes, two ducks, twenty eggs, three feet of blue fine cloth, a kilogram of brown sugar... The rewards issued by the character check-in system are diverse, but there is no money.

The original owner, Song Jiayu, only had fifty-eight cents in savings, she was extremely poor. I hope there will be a reward for tomorrow's task!

The night in the countryside comes early.

At around eight or nine in the evening, every household in Lushan Village turned off the kerosene lamps and lay on the kang. Young couples clung together to make babies, old couples discussed things with each other, middle-aged couples disliked each other, and the children slept soundly.

Song Jiayu was taking a farming class. The old man teaching the class was the village chief. He didn't go out in the scorching sun during the day, but he didn't expect to suffer while taking the class in his dream at night.

This is the first day of the week's study card.

She shed two lines of tears and looked up at the sky at a 40-degree angle.

"What are you doing?! What are you doing there?! Hurry up and weed for me!"

"Hey, Grandpa Village Chief, this is a weed, right?"

“…”

“Oh…oh…oh…”

The crowing of the rooster has become a small alarm clock in the countryside.

Everyone in the Song family was about to get up. Zhao Qiuqin was responsible for three meals a day today. She took her youngest son to help light the fire in the kitchen. In the morning, she made some pancakes, chopped some pickles and fried them, peeled a radish and cut it into shreds, rinsed it with hot water, and mixed it with chili peppers, chopped garlic and green onions. Breakfast was ready.

"Beiwang, go wake your sister up, or she won't have breakfast later."

"Oh, I'll go right away."

Song Beiwang ran out of the kitchen and came to the window of his eldest sister's room. He stretched out his hand and kept knocking on it, chanting like a mantra, "Sister, get up quickly~" over and over again.

In the room, the person lying on the kang threw his pillow towards the window, and no matter how sleepy he was, his younger brother's chanting kept him awake.

Song Jiayu got up, combed her hair with a wooden comb, and braided it into two pigtails. Then she took the enamel cup with a hole in it and a toothbrush and went outside. She glanced towards the window and saw that the boy looking north was gone.

Squatting by the sink and rinsing my mouth, the character check-in system for today's three tasks arrived.

Today's tasks are as follows:

[1. Catch Song Xiulan and Sun Changlei's tryst.]

[2. There is a piece of porcelain fragment in the threshing ground. Find it and figure out its origin.]

[3. Ask Song Tianshun about high school textbook knowledge for ten minutes.]

Among the three tasks, the task of asking her brother for advice on high school knowledge was chosen by her as a daily routine task. This was an invisible rule she learned from exploring the character check-in system.

As a bound host, the system requires one to complete a task every day, but it is not intended to punish the host. The host can choose a person to be the one who issues tasks every day.

Song Jiayu chose her second brother Song Tianshun because it was easy and the temporary reward was the best.

I've gone off topic. Both of today's tasks are a bit difficult!

First of all, for the first task, does she have to keep an eye on Song Xiulan and Sun Changlei?

The second task was that the threshing ground was really big, and she had to find the broken porcelain pieces and dig them out by herself, and also know their origins. This was even more difficult, okay?

After brushing her teeth, Song Jiayu waved to her little brother, raised her eyebrows and winked. It was obvious that something was wrong, so Song Beiwang came over happily.

"Sister, if you need anything, call me. I will stand by you and do my best for you until my death." Song Beiwang, who is twelve years old and has just entered the rebellious period of adolescence, has recently been fascinated by the great generals in ancient times. He thinks that being a man should eat meat and drink wine in big bowls. He always plays the Peach Garden Oath of Brotherhood with a group of friends. This group of half-grown boys always make trouble in the village.

Song Jiayu patted her younger brother's head and complained, "Next time, if you don't know an idiom, don't use it. Got it?"

"I have something for you to do. I've hidden a precious piece of porcelain fragment in the village's threshing ground. Take your friends and find it for me. I'll give each of you two pieces of candy. We'll meet at the usual place. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Song Beiwang made an awkward salute.

At breakfast time today, the only sound on the wooden table was the chewing of food.

My mother’s cooking skills are better than my aunt’s. She wraps shredded radish in pancakes and eats them. The cold shredded radish is particularly flavorful, and the pancakes are of moderate thickness and taste very good.
