However, because he is left-handed, it has no effect on his homework or herding cattle, so he still has to do his homework and herd cattle.
The grass Liu Shile cut was only enough for the family's dairy cows to eat for two meals; she had no intention of helping her troublesome little brother lighten his burden.
Before leaving, I made a few herbal sachets for my eldest sister, telling her to keep them safe and remember to take them with her when she goes out. Of course, she could also give them to her family.
As for the purpose of the herbal sachet, she didn't say, and Liu Shixi didn't ask either, assuming it was for repelling insects and snakes, just like before.
When she slept soundly through the night until dawn, she belatedly realized that she hadn't been bitten by any mosquitoes the night before!
In the sweltering summer, there are actually a lot of mosquitoes. They not only keep people from sleeping, but they can also bite people all over their bodies, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.
But she slept soundly all night. The only difference was that she had several herbal sachets in her room, which explained why her sister said they could be used by the family as well.
Lele's personality is really awkward these days. She clearly cares about her family, but she won't say it. Fine, since she won't say it, I, as her older sister, will have to say it for her.
So during dinner, Liu Shixi told Liu Weisong about it, which pleased him greatly. He praised her several times, and Zhang Sumei raised her eyebrows, wondering what that brat was up to.
If Liu Shile knew that her eldest sister had pulled this stunt on her, she would only say that she was overthinking things.
At this moment, Liu Shile and Liu Shihua are practicing the basics of drawing. Yes, they started drawing this week.
Liu Shihua studied diligently and was quite talented, making rapid progress. Liu Shile, on the other hand, had a good memory and strong practical skills, so she also learned quite quickly.
Wang Shuhui looked at the two children practicing diligently and nodded to herself, but then she began to worry. Although she had no shortage of living supplies, the children lacked a lot of things.
Not to mention really good paper, even the cheapest paper is expensive. The most important thing is that it's quite hard to buy. There are places in their county that produce paper, but they've already been pre-ordered.
It seems we need to find a way to buy some paper. In the early stages of practice, even some coarse paper will do. The good paper she has collected will have to wait until they have learned enough before using it.
Those good sheets of paper are becoming increasingly rare, and over the years, Wang Shuhui has become accustomed to saving them, so naturally she is reluctant to give them up now.
Liu Shile and Liu Shihua had no idea that Grandma Wang was thinking so far ahead. They carefully finished their drawing and handed in their homework before jogging to school.
"Lele, would you like to put on another layer of clothing?" Liu Shihua was a little worried about her younger sister's health, as it had become a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings since autumn began.
Liu Shihua was worried again when she thought that her younger sister didn't have many warm clothes either. They had brought home a lot of cloth, but her mother hadn't taken it out to make clothes, and she didn't know what to do with it.
He was a little angry that his mother hadn't even given his sister any money for the trip, but he didn't know what to do.
The original owner would always add clothes in the morning and evening during this season, but with Liu Shile, it's not necessary.
Her health is getting better and better. It's only the beginning of autumn, so this little bit of chill is nothing to her.
So she smiled and shook her head, "Second brother, I'm not cold. Let's add more clothes when it gets really cold. Oh right, we should probably add some more clothes, haha."
"How about we buy some fabric later and ask Grandma Wang to make us two thick outfits? And while we're at it, we'll make one for Grandma Wang too."
The original owner was quite good at needlework; she used to do most of the mending at home. But Liu Shile didn't want to do those things, so asking Grandma Wang for help was a good idea.
Anyway, they have money. Although cloth and cotton are not easy to buy now, if they are willing to spend money, they can still buy them.
If all else fails, we can always ask Brother Wang. He travels all over the country and probably has connections to get these things. Or we can ask him to buy some from the city.
Even if she can't buy them, she's already grown them herself. If she's really in a hurry, she can always transplant them to a field where they mature quickly.
She just didn't really want to use this method. It's not like she didn't have money. If she could keep a secret with money, what would she have done to leave a trace?
Liu Shihua was taken aback, only then realizing that they were actually wealthy; he had simply been mistaken and always thought they were poor.
Hearing his sister say that, he nodded and said, "Okay, you can handle this. Just let me know if there's anything I need you to do."
As he said this, he was thinking about how he could earn more money later to get back what he had spent, since it was all his sister's money.
Moreover, he was a little worried because his mother had changed a lot recently, and no one knew what kind of trouble she might cause in the future.
After his trip abroad, his thoughts changed a lot. He had a clear goal: to go to university. However, university is expensive, so he needed to prepare early.
He also has a younger sister. If she can get into university, he will support her. Ideally, they will both go to university. If that's not possible, he will support his sister's education even if he doesn't go to university himself!
It has to be said that Liu Shihua has grown a lot after experiencing many things. If it were before, he would never have thought about so many things.
~~~
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was National Day. The school gave the students a holiday, and they happily rushed home.
Liu Shihua was the only one who didn't go home happily, because the stationmaster said that the grain station was very busy recently, and he should go to work if it was convenient for him.
He hesitated for only a moment before agreeing. Although he hadn't been home for a month or so, judging from the situation during this time, it didn't really matter whether he went back or not.
It's just that it puts his sister in a difficult position. She'll probably hear a lot of complaints every time she comes home, but she's never mentioned it to him.
He didn't know how his older sister's leg was doing. Although his younger sister said everything was fine, he was still worried until he saw it for himself.
"Shihua isn't going back again this time?" Wang Guangjie looked at Liu Shihua with some disapproval. This brother hasn't been home for a long time because he's been making money. Is this really a good thing?
According to him, if they were really short of money, they might as well let Lele go into the mountains and hunt a few wild animals to exchange for money. It would be a quick and easy way to make money, and it seemed like a good deal no matter how you looked at it.
But what about these two siblings? One of them honestly works at the grain station, while the other honestly goes home and suffers mistreatment. I really don't know what they're thinking.
Liu Shihua nodded somewhat embarrassedly, "Yes, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Lele again this time. When you come up later, we'll treat you to a meal."
Upon hearing this, Wang Guangjie almost rolled his eyes, wanting to ask, "Are you sure you're not being sarcastic?"
Lele is so capable, she doesn't need them to take care of her. It's good enough that she doesn't have to take care of them, okay?
Yes, putting aside his past experiences of chopping firewood in the mountains, just the first time he walked home from school, he realized how amazing Lele was and couldn't help but admire her from the bottom of his heart.
This girl has incredible stamina. She walked all the way from the county town to their town without even blushing or getting angry. Can you believe she's even human?
