Chapter 243 Division of Labor and Cooperation

After a busy morning, everyone had not finished half acre of land. Someone from other families around had already come to deliver food. After waiting for a while, they finally saw Xixi and the others appear at the end of the road. Their meal was done in Qiuchu. Zhuhua and Peace King was responsible for supervising the worker in Shuidian. Seeing that they were coming, they asked the teenagers to come up to wash their hands and prepare for dinner.

"What did you cook?" Zhuhua asked. She didn't participate in their cooking this time, and she didn't even know what dishes they bought.

Tuan Duanyuan paused for a moment, but did not answer. Instead, he frowned and said indifferently: "I can eat anyway."

When they opened the basket for the meal, Zhuhua felt that the dish that was a bit darker in color could only be considered as the standard for being able to eat.

"You were at home before, didn't you cook vegetables?" Zhuhua couldn't help asking.

"In the past, when cooking at home, some people cut the vegetables first, and some people helped to watch the fire. We didn't have to cook them all at all." Xixi argued.

"Don't you have three people? Even if one person gets a single person, others can help her when she is cooking. Or one specializes in cutting vegetables, one specializes in watching the fire, and the other specializes in cooking. There are several meals, one by one, one takes turns."

"You didn't say it yesterday." Xixi muttered.

"I thought you were all very smart."

Xixi pouted. In fact, she thought she could do this later, but it was too late at that time. At the beginning, she really didn't expect that cooking a dish alone would be so troublesome.

Fortunately, the man who had been working for a long time looked like the dish was burnt and not very good.

Huanhuan ate a piece of braised pork, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "This meat is cooked well and has a little burnt aroma."

"You have vision." Xixi's little face was then smiling.

When the other families around heard that their family had meat, they looked at him curiously. Zhuhua couldn't help but whisper: "You only have large pieces of meat to eat in this field, and others can eat at most a few pieces of meat."

"How can you have the strength to work without eating meat?" Huanhuan asked.

"Do you think they don't know? Why do you say that they can't let go and eat meat even though they know this?" Zhuhua asked seriously.

Huanhuan suddenly stopped talking. Yuanyuan, who had never spoken out, said: "So, money is a good thing, we must save a lot of money so that we will not be hungry in the future."

"What if someone snatched your money?" Zhuhua joked.

"I will practice martial arts well and not let them take it away."

"When you get old and can't be beaten anymore, it's time for you to need money the most, but they snatched the money away?"

"My kids will help me."

"I'm sure? I'm not sure whether you can hold on now. I don't just make trouble and scatter the money first. I'm going to laugh." When Zhuhua said these words, her eyes were looking at Huan happy.

As they came along, these two people spent the most money. In the past, they fell in love with buying things in Liangzhou, and they unknowingly developed the habit of spending money. Jinhua didn't care at first, but they used their monthly money, and the amount shouldn't be large. It was not until later that they learned that Qin Xin was secretly giving them pocket money that she realized that they had spent a lot. She taught them and made them guarantee that they would not be allowed to come to Chang'an to spend money randomly. The cost of Chang'an was much higher than that of Liangzhou. They did follow the rules, just occasionally buying some unpractical things, or invite classmates to have a meal.

This time they came out to play, they brought out all their pocket money. They heard that there were so many good things in Jiangnan, so they wanted to buy some back and maybe they could make some money. But before they arrived in Jiangnan, they spent half of their money. Xixi even tried to borrow money from Yuanyuan, and wanted to bring her into business with her under the banner. She knew that among these children, Yuanyuan, the private houses were the thickest.

She was not wrong, but Yuanyuan and sophisticated people were not easy to borrow money from her. Xixi coaxed her several times but failed to coax her, so she gave up. When she heard Zhuhua say this, the two looked at each other guiltily, lowered their heads and pretended not to hear it. Zhuhua didn't continue to chase after this.

After the rest at noon, Huanhuanlele and Yuantai had to continue working in the fields, and the family followed the adults back. He took a shower and slept with a full sleep. When he woke up, he happened to see Xixi going to the fields to deliver tea, and he also said he would go with him. Later, as soon as he left the yard, he saw Zhuhua in the kitchen, and immediately said he couldn't go, so he went to the kitchen to ask Zhuhua for snacks.

Xixi sighed helplessly, went to the field to send tea and snacks, and looked at the other families beside them. They were drinking the tea that had long been cold now, not like theirs. They also had hot tea and snacks.

While the three teenagers were drinking tea, she couldn't help but sigh, "What if we were born in the home of the people?"

"Aunt Qi was born in the home of the people." Yuan Tai smiled.

"This is also a matter of being an official with my grandfather."

"Sister, isn't this what you want? You always think there are too many rules. If you were born in the home of a commoner, you don't have to follow these rules and you can still go with you freely in the mountains and fields. How great is it?" Lele quipped.

Xixi gave him a blank look in anger. Before he could finish drinking the tea, he took his tea bowl and cleaned it up and turned away.

Lele shouted helplessly, and the sympathetic gazes of several girls beside him. He pulled out his bangs with satisfaction and went back to continue working. That day, they returned without getting dark. Seeing that the others were still working in the fields, they felt a little embarrassed to leave. They thought they would hold on for a while, but Zhuhua was not sure. They also said that they were fine for less work on the first day and would have to follow the villagers' working hours tomorrow, and they agreed.

They didn't know that after resting for a night, they were so tired that they couldn't open their eyes in the morning, and their bodies were sore and painful, which was completely different from their fatigue in martial arts practice. When Zhuhua asked someone to wake them up, the genius was Mengming, and Zhuhua had not yet gotten up. However, Xixi and Tuantuan had already gotten up because they had to take charge of breakfast. They agreed to Yuanyuan in the evening that she could sleep a little longer in the morning and not get up to help make breakfast. At the cost, she had to wash the bowls for this day. In order to sleep a little longer, she also endured the pain and agreed.

When they went down the field, before dawn, they cleaned up and went to the butcher's house in the next village to cut the meat. There is no meat stall in Lijia Village, and the meat stall closest to it is in the next village. Of course, there are meat stalls in the town, but if you go to the town to buy the road further.

These days, to facilitate their work, Zhuhua asked them to wear some old clothes. When she came out, she brought all the old clothes, just to throw them away at any time when she didn't want them. But even their old clothes were brighter than ordinary people. There would always be people looking at them curiously along the way, especially the young and strong guys couldn't take their eyes off when they saw them.

The eleven-year-old Tuantuan is still childish, but his every move is generous, looking like a little fairy in the sky; the sixteen-year-old Xixi is the time when she was watery, and she looks good, and she likes to wear some brightly colored clothes. Today, she is wearing a pomegranate red skirt, which falls into the eyes of others, like a fire that burns from their eyes to their hearts.

Tuantuan often went out in Liangzhou, and there were many people who liked to stare at her, one because of her identity, and the other because of Wendy's pursuit of her mother, everyone wanted to evaluate her appearance. She thought she was not the most beautiful girl in Liangzhou. There were some beauties who came from Gentiles to open a tavern in Liangzhou. They were really beautiful, but there were still many people who pursued her. Although she didn't like any of them, she was very arrogant and she looked down on ordinary people.

The meat seller knew that they were Sun's granddaughters, and he gave them a discounted price, which made Xixi unable to make it difficult to kill the price. In the countryside, her mother and aunt are actually not as famous as her grandmother.

With meat, they didn't have to buy other vegetables. Aunt Li's house planted a lot and asked them to pull them out casually. However, when they got home, Aunt Li had already pulled a basket of vegetables for them and delivered them to their house. Aunt Li was talking to Zhuhua at this moment, and when she saw the two children come back, she lowered her voice. Xixi vaguely heard them saying something about "just so dissatisfied". She was curious and wanted to know, so she found a way to go to someone else's place to talk to him. Only then did she realize that many people wanted to give their daughter to Zhuhua early in the morning, wanting Zhuhua to accept her current person in the royal palace.

Zhuhua agreed immediately after hearing this. As long as the other party was willing to write a contract for sale, she would not mind having one more girl. However, she also made it clear that if this girl entered the slavery, her brothers would not be able to take the imperial examination. You should know that Lijia Village and Sunjia Village are still studying for free in the school where Sun paid for. Even if everyone said that they only let the children learn a few words, they thought that maybe their children would be Wenquxing and descend to the earth to read it easily.

So when I heard that I wanted to become a slave, many people went back. But there was a widow, who had only one daughter who didn't know whose father was. She insisted on letting her daughter enter the palace, and she had only one request, which was to let her go with her. Zhuhua certainly would not agree. Just as she was about to return, Aunt Li came. After she knew about this, she scolded the widow away and taught Zhuhua a lot of things in the yard to prevent her from being soft-hearted, but Zhuhua didn't know how to answer the conversation. She didn't say she wanted to accept it.

But indirectly, Zhuhua heard that the widow had wanted to throw her arms to her father, and shook her head disgustedly. Aunt Li said it was easy for a moment, and at the end she didn't forget to tell Zhuhua that she didn't tell Sun. But she is still afraid that Sun's bad temper will do what would happen.
