On the other side, Yan Xin was equally dejected, her heart filled with despair. She lay on the table, occasionally wailing, "Why? My life is so hard. Why grow vegetables? I don't want to grow vegetables."
That's right, because when Grandma Lin was eating, she mentioned that she should grow vegetables. This sentence was like triggering the main switch of her bumpy fate, and she had to start growing vegetables.
Looking at the recently healed scar on the back of her foot, she felt a pang of sorrow and cried out in despair, "Old woman Lin deliberately tried to harm me! She knew I couldn't use a hoe, yet she still made me plant vegetables. Where is justice?"
Lin Chacha came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes and ran over, gently patting Yan Xin's back with her little hands. "Mom, don't worry, I'm strong, I'll help you. Be good, don't cry."
Yan Xin, who was being treated like a child: "..."
"Do you know how to turn the soil? Growing vegetables seems to require some skill; it's not just about being strong." Yan Xin was very grateful for Lin Chacha's thoughtfulness. She felt that among Zhao Xiaolian's four daughters, this daughter was the most filial.
"I can do it, I can do it in no time. Turning the soil is easy. You wait here, I'll go get to work now." Lin Chacha got right to work and immediately went to find a hoe.
After searching around, she scratched her head and called up to Lin Xiazhu upstairs, "Sister, our hoe is missing. Was it stolen?"
Lin Xiazhu was tidying up Xiao An's room upstairs when she heard this. She shook her head, walked to the door and said with a smile, "Cha Cha, our hoe is still in Lin Family Village. We didn't bring it with us. We'll have to buy a new hoe if we want to use it."
"Oh right, I forgot. That means we can't grow vegetables," Lin Chacha tapped her head, a little annoyed, but quickly cheered up again. She ran back to Yan Xin and said, "Mom, we don't have a hoe, so we don't need to grow vegetables."
"We definitely need to plant vegetables. Tomorrow, the blacksmith will be selling farm tools at the market. I'll go buy a few hoes. I need to make a list to see what else I need to buy and buy it all at once." Lin Xiazhu's voice came clearly from upstairs.
Yan Xin: "..." Hehe, so generous.
The houses here are usually two stories high, with wooden stairs and wooden floorboards on the upper floor. So when someone walks upstairs, people downstairs can clearly hear the "thump thump thump" of their footsteps.
They also ingest a lot of dust. For example, right now, Yan Xin's room is right below Xiao An's room, and Lin Xiazhu ingests a face full of dust as she walks.
"Cough cough... Lin Xiazhu, don't you have any public spirit? Can't you clean upstairs a bit? All the dust is falling downstairs, and my room is full of dust." Yan Xin ran outside the door and looked upstairs, almost cursing.
"I'm sweeping now, just bear with it. Once it's clean, I'll mop the floor. I'll mop it every two or three days from now on, and there won't be any dust anymore," Lin Xiazhu laughed.
She really didn't mean it. They had only moved in a few days ago. The house had many rooms, and she and Chacha had only cleaned two rooms upstairs, which was enough for them. But since Xiao An came, they had to clean out one room for him.
Xiao An was still lying on her bed in her room, and in her haste to clean, she forgot that there was someone downstairs.
"You're still laughing! You're doing this on purpose! That's too much! I want to live upstairs too! I never want to live downstairs again!" Yan Xin was so angry her hair almost stood on end.
"If you want to stay upstairs, come up and clean it yourself. I'm not going to help you," Lin Xiazhu said with a low laugh.
When Yan Xin first moved in, she found the sound of walking on the floorboards eerie. She was afraid that it would scare her when she got up to use the restroom at night, so she chose a room on the far side of the building with better lighting and that was far away from Lin Xiazhu's room.
That way, we can't hear the footsteps of people upstairs on the floor, it's so quiet.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as Xiao An arrived, Lin Xiazhu arranged for him to stay in the room upstairs from hers. Well, the room upstairs was just like the one downstairs, with better lighting.
After cleaning the room and laying out the newly bought straw mat and quilt, Lin Xiazhu went to her own room and picked up Xiao An to carry her to his room.
Xiao An's fair face flushed red, her long eyelashes trembled, and she didn't dare to look at Lin Xiazhu even once, "Sister..."
"It's okay, it's not heavy at all. You're too thin. I'll make you chicken soup tonight and pork rib soup tomorrow. I'll make you delicious food every day and fatten you up."
At this point, Lin Xiazhu glanced at the shy boy in her arms and laughed, "He's already fair enough, he'll be perfect as long as he gains some weight."
Everyone likes beautiful things, and Lin Xiazhu is no exception. Although Xiao An is exquisitely beautiful, her face is not chubby at all. Children should have a little baby fat to look good.
The meals will definitely be very good from now on. After all, there are many children in the family who need enough nutrition to grow. Besides, she and her three younger sisters are rather thin and their hair is still yellow. They need to be properly cared for.
Ginseng soup is for building a good foundation for the body. Drinking ginseng soup once won't make you healthy immediately. A beautiful appearance requires slow and steady care.
Well, to sum it all up, Lin Xiazhu just wanted to make up for what she couldn't have in her previous life. Except for the last two or three years, she lived a decent life, but for the first thirty-odd years, she lived frugally, willing to eat but not to dress well.
In the end, I ruined my stomach, and I no longer had the chance to take good care of myself.
Now that we have money, she's still young, so we want to pamper her stomach and provide her with delicious food and drinks every day.
There's also Cha Cha and Tao Zi; they'll enjoy life too. The cost of living is low in the countryside, and with 500,000 yuan in hand, it'll be enough for them to eat until they turn eighteen.
"Sister, you're so good to me." Xiao An's beautiful peach blossom eyes were misty with tears.
"Of course, you'll be the only man in our family from now on. You'd better live up to expectations. If any of the women in the family get bullied, we'll have to rely on you." Lin Xiazhu put him on the bed, her tone slightly teasing.
