Chapter 8 Big Sister Becomes Big Brother
The eggs were cooked quickly.
When the leaves were opened, the fragrance gradually spread.
"Wow, it smells so good!" The youngest Lu Jinqiu stared at the eggs, and he felt his stomach growling now.
After eating these two days, he was energetic and even more obsessed with food.
He had never thought that eating would be so happy.
Seeing how greedy they were, Lu Jinnian divided two eggs for each of them and kept one for himself.
"Big sister, why do you only eat one?" Lu Jinxin saw that she only had one, and hesitated to eat the egg.
The others stopped taking it and stared at her.
"You eat yours, big sister is not hungry, wait for the next meal." Lu Jinnian choked on a steamed bun on the way back. It's not that there is no better food, but she can't eat it.
One is that the taste is too strong, and the other is that she has no appetite when she sees that the children have nothing to eat.
It's not that she is stingy and doesn't take it out, but there is no good excuse. They are all children who remember things.
It's because she needs to hunt, so she eats a little more to maintain her strength.
Seeing her say that, only Lu Jincheng thought more, "Big sister, you eat two, I'm not hungry, just one is enough."
As he said that, he took out one of the two eggs in front of him.
Seeing this, the youngest Lu Jinqiu also took out one and handed it over, "Big sister, you eat, I'm not hungry."
Seeing his younger brother and sister like this, Lu Jinnian felt sorry.
There were so many foods left uneaten, and they had to save them and not be full.
She sighed and said, "I said I'm not hungry, you guys eat quickly, or I'll be angry."
These children are well-behaved and sensible, which really makes people feel distressed.
After dinner, the sky cleared up, and she took her younger brother and sister to the open space they found yesterday.
The terrain is not low, and there is a small river about 20 meters down, which is very convenient.
"You just help me collect firewood here, I'll do something else."
As for what else, Lu Jinnian didn't say, and they didn't ask, they all went to collect firewood happily.
Seeing that the children had gone far away, she picked up some dead trees nearby, twisted the bark into ropes, and made a simple A-shaped frame.
After the two frames were completed, a piece of wood was added as a crossbeam.
The simple shack was ready!
Lu Jinnian wiped the sweat from her head. It was not because she was tired, after all, she was very strong, but the sun was very strong at noon, and people could not stand the sun. She
sat down and watched for a while, and then she heard her brother and sister coming back, with firewood in their hands.
When they saw the frame, they all ran over curiously.
"Sister, what is this?" Lu Jinxin turned around, because it was just a frame, she couldn't understand it.
Lu Jinnian smiled and said, "This is the shack we will live in in the future. It will be cold soon, and we need a place to live."
No matter what, this place can shelter from the wind and rain. As long as everyone is together, isn't it a home?
Hearing this, they were all very surprised.
"Everyone, is this our home?" Lu Jinqiu was very happy. It doesn't matter whether it is a house or not, as long as it can be lived in.
Lu Jinnian nodded, "You continue to collect firewood, I still need to do it."
Try to make everyone move in at night, anyway, it's just temporary.
After this winter, they can build a house.
After all, they don't have anything, so they need to buy it bit by bit.
The three children are very happy. They finally don't have to move forward and can settle down!
Seeing them happy, Lu Jinnian was also happy. She didn't want to run around outside all day, it was so tiring.
"Big sister, can I stay and help you? I'm an adult too." Lu Jincheng wanted to stay because it was all physical work.
He was twelve years old, and without his parents, he had to take on the responsibility of a family. Hearing this,
Lu Jinnian looked at him in surprise, "You are still young, big sister will protect you from the wind and rain."
"No, the eldest son should be the one who stands tall and upright, I will protect you from the wind and rain." Lu Jincheng's expression was extremely serious.
He knew that Lu Jinnian had a hard time. He basically didn't eat or drink during this period of time on the road of fleeing famine, and now it was too early to build a shack for them.
Whenever he saw that busy figure, he hated himself for not being able to do it.
So what if he studied for a few years, but he still couldn't support a family?
Seeing that his eyes were red, Lu Jinnian felt very complicated. It can be seen that this younger brother wants to grow up, but the reality is the opposite.
"Big sister will be your big brother from now on, Jincheng, you don't have to feel burdened, I will make sure you live well." She said earnestly.
"What big brother?" Lu Jincheng looked puzzled, "You are the big sister."
What is this?
They were chatting well, but now it's all about this?
"From now on, you will call me big brother." Lu Jinnian looked at his younger brothers and sisters seriously and said, "We kids will definitely be bullied. I am the oldest, so I will treat people as a man from now on."
"When we get better, we will return to the way we were before."
She thought about this for a long time. The kids had no way to survive.
In the current dynasty, it is easier for men to do things. Although women can show their faces and even do business, sometimes it is definitely easier for men.
Hearing her words, the kids looked confused and didn't know what was going on.
"Why is it so good..." Lu Jinxin was at a loss. She didn't understand why the big sister became the big brother.
"Xiaoxin, listen to the big sister." Lu Jincheng, contrary to his usual behavior, stopped his sister from talking.
In any case, their family really lacked an adult. He was too young, and it was obvious at a glance.
Although Lu Jinnian was a woman, she was more than a head taller than him, so it was okay for her to be a fake adult.
After going through so much, he also figured it out.
Looking at these two younger brothers and sisters, he could only try his best to do what he could.
Lu Jinnian glanced at him. It was not easy for this child to figure it out.
Children in ancient times matured precociously. Although this child was only twelve years old, he also understood a lot, just like modern eighteen-year-old children.
"Okay, you guys go, big brother is busy here." Lu Jinnian said with a smile.
Hearing this address, the three younger brothers and sisters had different expressions.
Especially the youngest Lu Jinqiu, who didn't understand how the eldest sister became the eldest brother?
This is too strange...
Watching his younger brothers and sisters leave, Lu Jinnian hurried to find branches with leaves, preferably lush branches and leaves.
Then he placed the branches flat next to the shack and used them to block the wind.
This actually can't block much wind, so it needs to be reinforced in the next few days, filling the gaps with yellow mud or moss.
At least in winter, there won't be any leaks. Just get through this winter and build a new house.
Thanks to Wowuwokan and Ling'er Ariel for the tips.
I saw many old friends again. Thank you for your continued support.
