Chapter 4



Although he was shocked in his heart, Jiang Xi still suppressed his emotion.

A system!

It actually happened to Pei Hejun, so did he know about it himself?

What is this system?

Jiang Xi pretended to touch it accidentally, but her hand passed through the middle. She couldn't touch the translucent screen, and the crying words at the bottom disappeared. What appeared was another task with the word "failure" printed on it.

Jiang Xi lowered her eyes in disappointment and wanted to ask the system out loud, but Pei's mother was there, and she didn't react to that thing at all, so she might be the only one who could see it.

Maybe it's because she came from a book and might have some special magnetic field sensitivity?

Jiang Xi thought about it. Seeing that Pei's mother had simply turned Pei Hejun over, she also helped to gently tap his buttocks and back. In Pei's mother's puzzled eyes, she explained: "I heard people say that this is how you should do it when turning over. It may be to dredge the compressed muscles."

Mother Pei suddenly realized and slapped her head, as if she remembered something: "Yes, it seems that the doctor told me before, but I have a bad memory and didn't remember it. I'm so sorry for Xiaoxi!"

At this point, she was even happier. After she had taken care of her son, she took Jiang Xi's hand and said, "You are a good child. I will leave the third child to you to take care of. Don't worry, auntie."

Jiang Xi pursed her lips and smiled, saying firmly: "I will take good care of Brother Pei San!"

Mother Pei was so moved that tears came out.

She didn't say much, fearing that the little girl would be shy, but she knew in her heart that there was no family in the area that had a vegetative state, except for the third child in their family.

Jiang Xi knew all this, probably because she had inquired about it before. She had this intention, and coupled with her character, she was really happy for the third child!

At this time, Pei's father shouted outside: "It's time to eat."

Mother Pei quickly pulled Jiang Xi out and called the two children in the room.

When they went out, there was already food on the table in the main hall, including a bowl of meat dishes. The two sisters were so surprised by the sight, but they did not dare to sit at the table without Jiang Xi's order.

Seeing this, Pei's mother pushed the three people and said, "Why are you still standing there? Eat quickly!"

Jiang Xi then sat down, and her two sisters followed suit and sat on her right. Each of them had a bowl of rice and sweet potato, which smelled delicious. Jiang Xi herself was hungry as well. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and she had already digested her breakfast. At this moment, she felt that the sweet potatoes were a delicacy.

Pei's mother was afraid that they would feel restrained, so she eagerly picked up food for them.

It was a rare opportunity for the three of them to have a full meal.

Jiang Xi felt more and more that the Pei family had made the right decision. After dinner, Jiang Xi asked his two sisters to collect the dishes.

These rural children often do this. Pei's mother would not allow it, but Jiang Xi was determined, so she compromised, but still followed to help.

After everything is done, Pei's parents will go to work at two o'clock in the afternoon.

In the past, one of these two people would have to stay at home, but today since Jiang Xi came, he let them all go. These days, work points are money, and no one is willing to be lazy if they are more diligent. They want to earn more so that they can get more money at the end of the year.

Farmers don't care about so many things, and Pei Hejun's situation is special, so Pei's parents didn't delay and went out without hesitation.

Before leaving, he did not forget to put the brown sugar, white sugar, and biscuits that the third brother had bought in the house into the room of the three Jiangxi sisters: "If you want to eat, take it yourself. Your uncle and I work over at Liushutang. Just call us if you need anything."

After they finished explaining, seeing Jiang Xi nodded obediently, the two of them walked away, looking back every few steps.

But my heart felt more relaxed than ever before.

It's a big deal!

Pei's parents are gone.

Jiang Ermei and Jiang Sanmei were drooling at the delicious food in the room. Sanmei was even bolder and pulled Jiang Xi's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Sister, I want to eat that cookie~~~"

The biscuit came in a big red package with a large biscuit image printed on it. It looked delicious.

Jiang Xi frowned: "No!"

Jiang Sanmei pouted in disappointment but didn't say much. She was a little more arrogant than her second sister, but also more sensible than many children in later generations.

Jiang Xi smiled and waved: "Come here, both of you."

Jiang Ermei and Jiang Sanmei came over quickly. Jiang Ermei whispered, "Sister, are we really going to live here in the future? What about our mother?"

Jiang Xi said lazily, "Well, let's live here. Mom can earn her own work points, so there will be no problem supporting herself."

This is what the plot is like. After the original owner left, the two younger sisters were sent away one after another. Isn't it good for Zhang Xiuyun to live alone?

Jiang Ermei bit her fingers, still a little hesitant: "I miss my mother a little bit..."

She was only ten years old. Although she knew that she could only live a good life with her sister, her mother was irreplaceable. This was the first time she had left her mother since she was a child, and she felt a little flustered and uneasy.

Jiang Xi was about to comfort her when she heard the little girl Jiang Sanmei on the other side say crisply, "Second sister, mother won't miss you, she misses her cousins!"

Jiang Ermei quickly shut up, looking sullen.

Jiang Xi coughed lightly and held back his laughter. The original owner had two younger sisters. The second sister was honest and simple, while the third sister was clever. Although she was only seven years old, she was much smarter than the original owner. She had done everything to compete with her cousins ​​for food. She also saw her mother Zhang Xiuyun more clearly and did not have as deep feelings for her as the second sister.

Jiang Xi shook his head helplessly, organized his words in his mind, and asked, "You came with me, you should know that you can't live with our mother, right?"

"Yeah!" The two of them nodded vigorously. The pair of big eyes on their pale and thin faces looked particularly bright, staring at her with sharp eyes. In the past three years, their mother has taken even greater care of their uncle's family. If it weren't for their sister who had been protecting them with the financial support from the Pei family, they might not have survived.

Jiang Ermei bit her lip and said, "Sister, what do you want to say?"

Jiang Xi raised his hands and rubbed their heads, and said gently: "You also know that the Pei family can't help me raise you for nothing. I married here, and my husband in the future is Pei Hejun, but you know Pei Hejun's situation. They think I have suffered a great loss, so the Pei family is willing to support you."

Jiang Ermei's eyes reddened. She was ten years old now and more sensible. She naturally knew what this meant, especially since Pei Hejun's accident. She had heard too many related things in the past month.

My sister's life was ruined after she got married.

But she still got married and brought her sisters here.

Jiang Sanmei was even more ignorant, but she also knew something. Her face gradually became serious, and she even forgot about the peeking at the biscuit just now.

Jiang Xi continued, "We are living under someone else's roof. You should be more diligent in the future, doing laundry, cooking, sweeping the floor, feeding the chickens, and doing whatever you see. That way, they won't mind you living here, understand?"

Jiang Sanmei immediately said in a crisp voice: "I know!"

Jiang Ermei also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I know that too!"

The two treated the enemy very seriously.

Seeing this, Jiang Xi laughed again. After a big blow, she had to give a sweet date: "Of course, my sister also said here that as long as I have something to eat, I will not let you go hungry. Mom likes to help my uncle's family. We don't care and we won't have any contact with them in the future. Just live here peacefully. I will find a way to pay for your schooling."

"We can still go to school?!" The two girls were shocked and surprised.

Jiang Ermei was briefly happy, but then quickly shook her head: "No, big sister, you are already in a difficult situation. Where will the money come from? If aunt knew, she would definitely be angry."

"Don't worry about this, just listen to me. And don't touch these cookies and other things for now. Wait until I get married and can make the decision, then you can eat them." Jiang Xi suppressed their anxiety and pointed at the things on the table to remind them.

Nothing is absolute. Now the three of them are guests, and they feel embarrassed to eat Pei's meal.

She spoke slowly and simply. Jiang Ermei and Jiang Sanmei were not stupid, so they understood and nodded. There was no desire in Jiang Sanmei's eyes at all, but because of Jiang Xi's promise, they were not too sad. Their eyes were bright and full of desire to go to school.

Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Go clean the yard and feed the chickens, then you can go play. But don't run too far, okay?"

"Yeah!" Jiang Ermei nodded with a complicated expression.

Jiang Sanmei jumped out of bed. She was so excited about going to school that she was very attentive. "Sister, I'll go dig earthworms. Chickens will lay more eggs if they eat them!"

Jiang Xi felt at ease watching his two younger sisters busying themselves.

Most people would not agree to marrying off two younger sisters. If it weren't for Pei Hejun's special situation, Pei's parents probably wouldn't have allowed it.

Fortunately, the two children are grown up and can help with things. As long as they are well-behaved and not annoying, everything else will be easy.

Jiang Xi looked for a while and went straight into Pei Hejun's room.

The window was still open, and a vegetable patch in the backyard could be seen. Jiang Xi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the man on the bed, and tentatively reached out to touch him.

Touched clothes, no reaction.

But when her hand touched Pei Hejun's hand, the screen she had seen before appeared again!

Jiang Xi whispered, "Who on earth are you?"

As soon as the words fell, a line of words suddenly appeared at the bottom: [!!! She seems to be able to see me? ]

Jiang Xi narrowed his eyes and stared at the words.

The words trembled, and then changed to: [Can you really see it? Can you blink? ]

Jiang Xi said directly: "I can see it! Who are you?"

The word: [There is salvation!!!]

After the excitement, it typed a long paragraph: [Hello beautiful lady, I am the Merit System, Haotong. I fell into this world due to a space-time rift. In order to save myself, I ran out of energy and accidentally tied up Pei Hejun. However, our magnetic fields do not match, so he cannot see me and cannot perform tasks independently.]

[The main system will regularly destroy a batch of broken systems. If I don't do any tasks for a long time, I will be considered scrapped and planetary garbage. The main system will destroy me remotely! Please help me do the tasks, I can give you points, the points can be exchanged for many things, everything you want! ]

Jiang Xi spread his hands: "I don't think I can do the task."

How can I complete the mission if I can't even touch it?

The Merit System said calmly: [Don't worry, as long as you marry the host, you can automatically form a team. Although I am attached to the host, as long as you touch him, you can still complete the task! ]

Jiang Xi sat up straight: "Really?"

System: [Of course it’s true! Don’t worry, as long as you have enough points, you can redeem the drug to wake the host up.]

Jiang Xi said decisively: "Show me your mall."

System: [? You know all this?]

It seemed a little strange, but it still showed the mall honestly and reminded: [The host has completed some tasks and has 21 points. As long as you form a team, you can redeem things immediately. ]

Jiang Xi took a quick look and saw meat, vegetables, eggs and other items at the front. These were relatively cheap, with one egg earning one point and 10 pieces of meat earning one pound of points. The items further on were more expensive, but also more special, such as some medicines, both Chinese and Western, and even ginseng!

This is not the best.

Jiang Xi continued reading and found many touching stories, such as the miracle doctor's silver needle, Hua Tuo's hand notes, and Bian Que's medical records...

This is the real good stuff!!!

As a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, Jiang Xi couldn't help but be moved.

She said decisively: "No problem, just wait, in these two days, I will marry Pei Hejun."

The system quickly popped up two words and a bunch of exclamation points: [Benefactor!!!]

Jiang Xi chuckled, stopped chatting with the system, got out of bed, turned Pei Hejun over, let him lie flat, and then massaged him.

If a vegetative patient does not move for a long time, his muscles will atrophy and he needs long-term massage. In addition, he needs to sit and stand specially to exercise the muscles of the whole body.

Jiang Xi didn't have enough strength. After the massage, she grunted and made him sit up. She was already sweating all over. She had to support him. She was so tired that her clothes were wet again. She looked at the man in front of her who seemed to be sleeping: "I'm sorry, I'm sweaty all over. I hope I didn't stink you."

Naturally, the man didn't react, and Jiang Xi didn't expect him to react. He just talked. A vegetative person can still sense sound, and if he is stimulated enough, he might wake up.

although……

He didn't wake up in the plot, and there were only a few words about him, but everything that needed to be said was said. Ever since the original owner got married, the two Pei brothers had been making trouble, and Pei's parents had repeatedly given in, exhausted themselves, and something went wrong during a robbery.

Pei's father was sent to the hospital, and Pei's mother went to take care of him, entrusting her son to the eldest and second sons. However, when she came back, she found that Pei Hejun's condition had worsened and he passed away soon after.

When Jiang Xi read the book before, he didn't feel anything because there were only a few words mentioning the Pei family. But now seeing the real person and thinking about the plot, he felt particularly sad.

His two brothers took his money, but treated him like this. How cruel!

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside. Jiang Sanmei hurried over and knocked on the door: "Sister, someone is here, and he looks fierce!"

Jiang Xi helped Pei Hejun lie down and said, "You two go back to your room. Don't come out unless I call you."

The two sisters went into the house obediently. Before Jiang Xi could go out, the voices of Pei's parents were heard outside, as if they were arguing with someone.

Then a middle-aged man said in a gruff voice: "I think you are crazy. You would rather hand the third child over to an outsider! She is here just for the third child's pension! Do you believe that if you give her the money, she will run off and marry a normal man tomorrow!"
