"I think you're just lucky that you can't sleep? Others can't sleep even if they want to, but you can't sleep..."
Hua Xiao complained a few words in a low voice, soaked her little hands in cold water, and quickly washed the vegetables in the basin.
Hua Shi never took the little girl's sarcastic words to heart. He walked over and saw her washing a large basin of vegetables. He was a little confused.
"Why are you washing so many vegetables? Have you picked all the vegetables from the garden?"
Hua Xiao was busy washing vegetables. Hearing her naive question, she sneered and said with a tone of thorns, "What a fate you have, young lady! Winter is approaching, and if you don't harvest the vegetables in the garden, they will rot. I'm sure they'll all be picked and pickled so we can eat them during the winter. You don't even know..."
Although the little girl spoke in a strange tone and looked displeased with her, she still explained it to her honestly.
Hua Shi nodded, looking at the several pots beside him, full of green vegetables, and felt sorry for them. He couldn't help but whispered,
"I know we need to pickle sauerkraut, but this is too much. There are already two or three jars of it. We won't be able to eat that much sauerkraut in the winter. Why don't we just pick vegetables from the garden on weekdays? Why do we always go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables to eat..."
As she spoke, she raised doubts in her heart.
Hua Xiao slapped the water in the basin, causing a splash of water. The splashed water wet Hua Shi's trouser legs.
The little girl's tone became more and more impatient. Too lazy to talk to her anymore, she looked up and saw that Li was not there, so she said directly, "Don't block me. Go away. You're in the way."
It is not her place to decide what to do with the vegetables in the backyard vegetable garden. If Mrs. Li doesn't allow it or agrees to it, no one can say anything.
Her sister just liked to say these irritating words. She was too lazy to listen to her and wanted to send her away with just one sentence.
Hua Shi looked around, moved a small stool over and sat down, and said, "I'll help wash it too."
The little girl's hands were frozen red. It was probably too early in the morning, with the sun still out and the sky still dim, so Li had the little girl squat down here to wash the vegetables.
Hua Xiao glanced at her and saw that she was willing to help, so he stopped her.
Since someone is willing to help, and she is not stupid, she is naturally happy to do so.
Two sisters, one big and one small, sat around washing vegetables, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious for a while.
Children from poor families become independent early and are more mature than ordinary children.
The children of the Hua family are just like that, each one is smarter than anyone else.
"Your second brother went out early again?" Hua Shi suddenly asked while washing.
"Huh, that's right. When you just got up, your second brother went out. Do you think everyone is like you?" Hua Xiao snorted and laughed, and might as well retorted to her.
"But are you going to water the fields again?" Hua Shi asked again.
I was thinking about the hunting traps I had set up on the mountain, wondering if they would yield any results...
"I think you are really confused. My second brother went to harvest soybeans. It's late September now, and the soybeans in the fields are ripe. How come you don't even know this?"
Hua Xiao stopped washing the vegetables as she spoke, staring at her in confusion and bewilderment, but her childish words were searing.
Hua Shi looked innocent and asked, "How would I know?"
Hua Xiao muttered something, now really not wanting to talk to her anymore, "Hmph, stop talking. You're so busy talking that you can't even finish your work."
After saying that, he didn't want to bother with her anymore.
At this moment, there was a sound of the door opening suddenly coming from the main room, and Hua Li came out of the house holding Hua Ying's hand.
The little girl knew it was Hua Li, and without even raising her head, she raised her voice and said, "Hua Li, let Xiaoying sit on the small stool and go make breakfast. The milk will come out soon."
Hua Li responded, pulled his brother, asked him to do it well, and went towards the small kitchen.
One of his hands was still wrapped, which was inconvenient, but breakfast was always the simplest, just a few steamed buns with some pickles, and that was enough. It could be done with one hand, so Hua Xiao let him go.
When I saw the flowers in the orderly rows, I felt emotional.
The little girl is smart and sensible, and she's so mature and steady that she doesn't look like an eight-year-old...
