Chu Hongchen had never done any work at home. After cutting wild vegetables for two hours, his back and waist ached and his legs felt weak when he walked.
But these children didn't say a word, so he was too embarrassed to complain.
The key is that complaining is useless.
"Sister Xiaoxi, we're leaving first~" The children were going to deliver the pig feed to the pig farm and said goodbye to Ning Xi one after another.
"goodbye!"
Ning Xi walked behind Chu Hongchen and silently placed her hand on the mutant Sedum notoginseng that she had hidden under the wild vegetables. "For sale."
On the system page, there is one more item in the 'My Shop' column;
[1 variant of Sedum sedum, quite ornamental, price: 5 Star Coins]
Ning Xi was overjoyed, as selling one piece of this was worth five pieces of mutant purslane.
It’s sent!
As a result, I waited for a long time and almost reached the educated youth point, but there was no sales notification sound.
Happiness is like the wind, coming and going quickly.
......
When Yu Xiaocao returned home after delivering the pig feed, her grandmother was carrying a shovel of stove ash and covering the chicken droppings in the yard.
The old lady sprained her ankle a while ago and couldn't go to work, so she was responsible for cooking at home and taking care of her grandson.
Seeing her come back, the old lady opened her mouth and scolded her: "Why are you back late today? Where have you been playing again? You are so old, but you don't know how to understand things!"
Yu Xiaocao was used to the old lady's reproaches; there was not a single day she came home without being scolded.
If she comes back early, people will think she is "slacking off every day and not doing any work". If she comes back late, people will definitely think she is out having fun.
But Yu Xiaocao didn't want to be like this today.
She took down the basket and handed it to Old Lady Yu, smiling innocently, "Grandma, I saw your feet were uncomfortable and it was inconvenient for you to squat and wash the vegetables, so I went to the river to wash the wild vegetables before coming back."
Old Mrs. Yu was stunned. This girl usually doesn't say a word, so why is she so attentive today?
She was suspicious, but didn't say anything unpleasant. She took the basket and saw that it was filled with a bunch of bitter herbs and wild wolfberry tips.
They are all washed clean.
"You're going to die, girl!" Old Mrs. Yu threw the backpack away and slapped Yu Xiaocao's butt with her big hands, as hard as old tree bark.
"Didn't I tell you how dangerous the river is? You just ignored me, didn't you? It would be a sin if you were dragged under by a water ghost!"
The old lady's legs hadn't healed yet, and she walked with a limp. If Yu Xiaocao didn't want to be beaten, she could just run away and come back when her milky breath subsided.
But she looked at the furious expression on the old lady's face and her legs froze in place without moving.
Old Mrs. Yu was so angry that she slapped Yu Xiaocao's butt several times: "Will you go to the river next time? Will you go?"
Yu Xiaocao cried loudly in pain: "Grandma, I won't do it again, I won't do it again, I won't do it again next time."
The old lady finally calmed down.
According to the past, Yu Xiaocao definitely didn't want to say another word to her grandma. She clearly wanted to do more, but ended up being scolded and beaten.
But she felt like she could change today. Tears were hanging on her tanned face as she sobbed, "Grandma, I just saw that you were having such a hard time, so I wanted to help you..."
Old Mrs. Yu was already relieved, and seeing her granddaughter like this, her heart softened. She turned around to pick up the backpack on the ground and limped into the kitchen.
When they reached the kitchen door, he said uncomfortably, "It's dangerous in the river. Don't cry. I'll boil you an egg tonight!"
After saying that, he quickly went into the kitchen.
Yu Xiaocao - Stunned Version: It turns out nice words really work! And you can even get boiled eggs...
She almost forgot what boiled eggs tasted like.
After returning to the educated youth site, Ning Xi and Chu Hongchen put down their baskets, one went to the kitchen to light a fire and steam rice, and the other went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.
I only made two dishes in the evening, a pot of stir-fried green pumpkin and a pot of roasted beans.
There wasn't much oil in the food and it tasted pretty ordinary, but no one said anything. Even Yuan Yin, who had a grudge against Ning Xi, just focused on eating.
Seeing that everyone seemed to be eating without any appetite, Qu Hua took the initiative to tell them the good news: "The team leader said that we will apply to slaughter a pig tomorrow and divide the profits among the people. Then everyone's food will be improved."
"Really?!" Xia Zhiwei yelled and almost spit out his rice. He quickly closed his mouth and stuffed the two grains of rice that fell from the corner of his mouth back in.
This food was really not enough to eat, and Tang Shibin took away five pounds of his portion, so he had to eat it carefully.
After dinner, it was still light outside. Ning Xi and Chu Hongchen picked some purslane outside the yard, removed the weeds, and followed the educated youth who were washing clothes to the river to wash them.
"You are so young, are your parents comfortable letting you go to the countryside?" Ning Xi asked casually.
The two are real fellow villagers, and they are close to each other. After a day of getting to know each other, they became more familiar with each other.
Ning Xi seemed to be unintentional, but in fact she was also trying to find out information about his family in disguise.
This node is too sensitive, and sometimes you have to be cautious when making friends.
Chu Hongchen felt a little uncomfortable: "My parents have applied to go to the Northwest to plant trees."
I don’t know when their family will be able to reunite.
Ning Xi said with admiration: "Your parents are so great. The conditions in the northwest are difficult, and planting trees is a contribution to the whole nation. It is really admirable."
"......" Chu Hongchen smiled bitterly.
His parents were also forced to do so. In order to prevent others from doing harm again, they volunteered to go to the most difficult place.
Qu Hua, who was standing in front, could only hear the two people mumbling in the back. He didn't catch the specific content, so he turned around and asked, "Are you two related? You look like siblings."
She said that they were both from Province C, and at first glance they looked a bit alike from the side.
However, Chu Hongchen was obviously raised in a well-off family, so she didn't guess this at first.
Just now, when I saw these two people being intimate but without any ambiguity, this idea flashed in my mind and the question came out naturally.
Ning Xi was startled by this question and looked at Chu Hongchen carefully.
Her current body looks very similar to her previous one, even the small mole on the tip of her nose is exactly the same. Chu Hongchen also has an identical small mole in the same position.
Moreover, both of them have delicate, narrow and straight noses.
Chu Hongchen was also looking at Ning Xi and noticed this as well, and was very shocked.
If he wasn't the only child his parents had, he would have suspected that Ning Xi was his biological sister who was left behind.
For a moment, neither of them answered. Qu Hua thought she was right and that the other person might have something to hide, so he quickly changed the subject.
Ning Xi and Chu Hongchen lost the best opportunity to answer. The person who asked the question had obviously revealed it, and they did not deliberately state it again.
But both of them had a strange feeling in their hearts, and looking at each other felt more like family.
In addition, Ning Xi vaguely felt that the original body and He Hongjuan's mother and daughter identities were even more suspicious.
