When Qian saw Tian An and Daniu coming, she felt the pain in her body again. She also thought about how her own head of the family was still lying in bed, and seeing Daniu was like seeing a ghost.
"Ah! Don't come over here, don't come over here. Ah! Murder!"
Qian pointed at Da Niu and yelled as she backed away. She ran out the door like a madman, as if she had gone crazy.
…
Everyone was confused. Was the person who just pointed at others' noses and cursed them arrogantly really Qian?
So who is this person who looks like a mad woman and speaks insanely?
Seeing Ji's eyes were red, Tian An went over and patted her hands and said, "Sister Ji has been wronged. Qian is just like that. She speaks without restraint. Don't take it to heart! It's not worth it."
Ji raised her head, blinked her eyes, and smiled, "Don't worry, girl! I'm already a grown-up, how can I be so upset? It's just a few scoldings, it won't hurt me. The most difficult days are over, and now I can eat every day. I feel so happy."
After returning from the workshop, Tian An asked Chun Xi, "Why did Sister Ji say she was eating today instead of having eaten her fill?"
Chun Xi thought for a moment and said, "Miss, when the Qian family came to cause trouble, Sister Ji's brother-in-law stood by and watched without helping, so the whole family was punished by having their food rations reduced by half for a month."
If Chunxi hadn't said it, Tian An would have almost forgotten about it: "Hey! It's really tiring to not have enough to eat and have to work, but I can't not punish her. Well~~ Sister Ji has helped us a lot recently, otherwise why not let their family restore the normal rations for two people!"
Tian An thought for a moment and said, "If the other families are performing well, you can also recover slowly as appropriate! We can't favor one over the other!"
Chun Xi replied, "Okay girl, I'll get it done later and finalize it during lunch today."
…
When the Luo family was having lunch at noon, they discovered that the old woman who served the food had filled the bowls for the two of them. Thinking it was a mistake, they took the initiative to remind them:
"Mother-in-law, our family was punished and only had half the ration. You remembered it wrongly and took too much."
The old woman smiled and said, "Don't worry! I have a good memory! I'm not wrong."
The Luo family looked at each other in confusion. What was going on?
The old woman understood when she saw them like that. They probably didn't know yet. So she smiled and said to Old Man Luo:
"You have a good daughter-in-law! The girl, in appreciation of her hard work during this period, has restored the food rations for both of you!
Not only that, as long as you, the companies that were punished, work hard and behave well, you can gradually recover. You better keep working hard!"
A family nearby who was punished excitedly confirmed with the old woman whether this was true.
The old woman didn't mind being annoyed: "Hey! How can I frame you? Miss Chunxi came over personally to give me instructions before lunch, how could I be wrong? Besides, if it weren't for the instructions from above, I wouldn't have any extra food to cook for you!"
The punished families were so excited that they wanted to go to work in the fields after dinner and couldn't be stopped.
The others who hadn't been punished were afraid of being outdone by them, since the girls were keeping score, so they just worked harder.
Finally, since they had already planted all the land ahead of schedule, there was no chance to show off their skills. Everyone rushed to the river to fetch water to irrigate the land and weed. They took good care of the crops.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, we all moved into our new houses before autumn.
Of course, this is all in the past.
At this time, the Luo family members were being polite to each other regarding the rice in their bowls!
Ji put the rice into the bowls of her father-in-law, Old Man Luo, her husband Luo Yourong, and her brother-in-law.
Old Man Luo frowned and said, “What are you doing, Wife Yourong? Call back quickly.
Brother-in-law: "Yes! Sister-in-law, this is what you earned. You are all implicated by me. I can't eat this meal."
Luo Yourong: "Mother, you are weak and you have to work with the child. You should eat more. I can still hold on." As he said that, he put the rice back into Ji's bowl.
Ji quickly covered her mouth with her hands around the bowl and said, "My job is easy, and Hu Zi is well behaved, so I don't have to worry about anything. You all work hard, so how can you not eat enough?" Then she lifted the bowl and started eating.
Hu Zi, who was standing by, pulled her mother's hand, put some of the rice in her bowl into the bowl, looked at her and said with a smile, "Mom, grandma just gave me a lot of rice. I can't even finish mine! Can you help me eat some?"
Ji felt both warm and sad as she looked at her son. He was beginning to understand things and show filial piety to her. There wasn't much rice in his bowl; it was clearly just enough for him! Yet he was willing to give her some.
Ji wanted to give the rice back to him, so Hu Zi covered the bowl like his mother had just done.
Then he leaned close to Ji's ear and whispered, "Mom, Huzi is really not hungry. Brother Xiaokang is so nice. He brings us delicious food every day."
Ji looked at him and said, "You guys? Who are you?"
Hu Zi raised his little head and said, "Yeah~~ there are a lot of children my age."
Ji was surprised: "A lot? Are they all the same size as you? Are they all children from here?"
Hu Zi nodded and said, "Yes! They are all children who live here with us."
Ji asked again: "What should we give you to eat?"
Hu Zi lowered his head and counted with his fingers, saying, "There are vegetarian buns, delicious pancakes, and sometimes even eggs!"
Ji looked at Hu Zi and said, "Are there any eggs? Does everyone have some?"
Hu Zi's mouth was watering thinking about the delicious eggs: "Yeah, everyone has one! It's delicious. It's a pity that Brother Xiaokang has to watch us finish eating every time, otherwise I could bring some back for Mom to eat."
Ji said hurriedly: "Don't, Huzi, just take care of yourself, don't worry about mother."
Ji quietly told her family what Hu Zi had said, and everyone was silent for a long time.
Old Man Luo raised his head and said, "The girl is kind-hearted. She's worried that the children won't have enough to eat, so she's secretly helping them nourish their bodies!"
Luo Yourong asked in confusion, "But why doesn't the young lady do it openly? Why does she have to help everyone in secret? Then no one will remember your kindness."
Old Man Luo patted Luo Yourong on the head, looked around, and then said in a low voice: "The girl just doesn't want everyone to remember her kindness, for fear that everyone will feel too much pressure!
Besides, wealth should not be shown off. We have quite a few children here, and it would cost a lot of money to give out those good things every day. If someone with a bad heart had bad intentions, the consequences would be disastrous."
Then he looked at his daughter-in-law and said, “Daughter-in-law Yourong, you are a good person, so I won’t say much.
After saying that, he slapped his eldest and youngest sons on the head: "Both of you should work harder, especially the second son."
At this point, Tian An has an irreplaceable weight in the hearts of the Luo family and is someone they will be grateful to for the rest of their lives.
