Rebirth at Seventy: Counterattack on Life

Chapter 13 Dreaming of Climbing a Tree

"Hahahahaha..."

"Yeah, hahaha..."

Everyone was in a good mood after work, and some people revealed dirty information, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Zhou Jinxin also put down the tools in his hand, moved his numb shoulders and followed Silly.

Although everyone asked her to rest, she couldn't really just watch the big guys working. She could enjoy the coolness by herself. After helping to replace the parts of the tractor, she took the initiative to sift the gravel.

"Let's go, put away all the tools, don't forget about this guy."

After Captain Wang packed his things, he raised his head and looked at the team members who were busy collecting their things and shouted loudly.

Every time someone goes out to work, someone forgets something. With such a long journey, it is very time-consuming and laborious to come back to pick it up.

Zhou Jinxin drove the tractor back the same way.

She misses modern cars, and tractors are such a waste.

By the time she got home, she felt even more sore than a day's work.

"Why are you back at this time? Didn't you say it took two days?" Old Mrs. Yao heard the door ring and hurriedly came out to see. When she saw that the eldest daughter was back, she asked.

"Well, the team's tractor was repaired and we drove the tractor to work, so we came back in a hurry." Zhou Jinxin didn't look energetic, and Mrs. Yao didn't ask in detail. She just went into the kitchen and brought out two bowls for Zhou Jinxin.

It's a steamed bun with corn noodles, and the other bowl is homemade miso.

That's it, there wasn't even a dish with light soup and water. Zhou Jinxin ate two steamed buns smeared with soybean paste.

What kind of year is this? After working all day, I don’t even have a hot meal to eat.

Zhou Jinxin complained while eating the steamed buns.

It’s no wonder that Mrs. Yao is stingy. Their family’s conditions are not good, and it’s not like in rural areas where they can grow some vegetables. In their small yard, Mrs. Yao planted two ridges of corn and a large one next to it. It's not even time to eat the cabbage, and even the green onions planted in the furrows have been plucked out. All they have to eat tonight is steamed buns with soy sauce soup.

"Mom, I'm full. I'm going to wash up and you can go back and have a rest." Zhou Jinxin finished eating the steamed buns and drank the cold boiled water in the teapot, and then said to Mrs. Yao.

"Well, then hurry up and go to bed early after a tiring day."

When Mrs. Yao saw that her eldest daughter had finished eating the wowotou, she was still thinking to herself that she had left two of them at night, otherwise the eldest daughter would not even be able to eat the ready-made ones when she came back.

"No~ no~"

As soon as Mrs. Yao entered the house, she saw Mr. Zhou raising his head vigorously and looking in the direction of the door, hesitatingly trying to say something.

"The boss is back. She said they drove the tractor to work, so don't worry about her. She just ate and washed her face."

Of course Mrs. Yao knew what he wanted to ask, so she started talking to herself.

Then he covered Xiao Wuzhou Jinhuan, who was sleeping on the far side, with a sheet.

This girl always likes to kick off the quilt. It's only June. Although it's hot during the day, it's still quite cool at night. If you catch a cold without a quilt, it will cost you a fortune.

Mrs. Yao was worried about spending money.

"It seems like the eldest sister is back." In the other room, the second eldest brother Zhou Jinkun sat up when he heard the sound and said to the third and fourth eldest children who were also awake.

"Is the eldest sister eating something delicious? I'm a little hungry again." Old Sisi Jinjie heard that the second sister said that the eldest sister was back, and then heard the cupboards in the kitchen wanting to be moved, so she touched her stomach and said.

"It's not delicious. There were only two steamed buns left in the evening. It was because my mother couldn't bear to eat them.

Tomorrow, if you have time, Miss San will take you to hunt birds. When you come back, we'll cook them for dinner. "

Lao Zhouzhou Jinling looked at her sister's greedy look and said to her.

"Really? That's great, let's take care of it more." Sure enough, the fourth child immediately became energetic when he heard what the third sister said. He was still a little sleepy at first, but now his eyes are wide open, and he just wants to get up as soon as possible.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Zhou Jinxin asked confusedly when he entered the room and saw several sisters sitting on the kang.

There aren't many entertainment activities these days, so once it gets dark, all that's left is sleeping.

"Eldest sister, third sister will take me to hunt birds. I will cook them for you when I come back." The fourth child was very excited and couldn't wait to share his joy.

"Ah, okay, be careful not to get hurt." Zhou Jinxin didn't care. Nowadays, children don't do homework at all after school. They either help with work at home or go out to play by themselves.

"Let's all go to bed. We have school tomorrow." Zhou Jinxin was so exhausted that he fell asleep soon after lying down.

"Third Sister, I can't sleep." Old Sisi Jinjie felt a little excited. She was thinking about how to eat the birds she caught tomorrow, and how much she would catch to eat. She kept thinking in her mind and couldn't sleep even after tossing and turning. .

"Whoo~"

"Whoo~"

"Whoo~"

What answered her was the even breathing of several people.

Zhou Jinjie tossed and turned by herself for a long time, and then fell asleep unconsciously when the sky was getting a little dark.

the next morning.

"Fourth, get up quickly, fourth. You're going to be late for school. If you don't get up, I won't wait for you."

"Mom, the fourth child is so asleep that I can't wake her up."

Zhou Jinling pushed for a long time but couldn't wake up the sleeping Zhou Jinjie, who ran to complain to Mrs. Yao.

"Snapped!"

"Hey, who hit me?"

Mrs. Yao was busy cooking and cleaning up all morning. She also had to clean up and wash Mr. Zhou, feed him medicine and eat. She was so busy that when she heard Zhou Jinling shouting like this, she didn't say anything and just rushed with all the strength she usually used to fight mice. Just slap Zhou Jinjie on the butt.

Zhou Jinjie was dreaming about climbing a tree to steal bird eggs. She was so frightened that she fell directly from the tree in her dream. She woke up with a startle and realized that someone had hit her.

"Mom, what are you doing? I was climbing a tree to dig out bird eggs. I was shocked, but I didn't even eat the eggs."

Zhou Jinjie was worried about not eating the bird eggs in her dream and pouted unhappy.

"You still took out the bird eggs. I think you were short-handed. You are already late for school. Get up and get dressed."

Old Mrs. Yao glared at her. This bastard kid spends all his time playing tricks on cats and dogs. The older girls even imitate the younger boys in climbing trees and digging out bird eggs.

This is a foodie, don't let those brats cheat you with their meat buns in the future.

"Going to school, going to school, what's the point of going to school, if you don't have enough to eat." Zhou Jinjie muttered.

She hates going to school the most. Her sister next door is 15 and hasn't gone to school yet. She has to help her mother at home all day long. I heard that her mother has even found a worker for her.

If her mother hadn't forced her to go to school, she wouldn't have wanted to go to school.

"Fourth sister is too lazy. The sun is shining down on her butt. I picked up a circle of burnt seeds and came back."

Xiaowu Zhou Jinhuan came in from the courtyard, holding a bowl of miso in his hand.

This was freshly made from the sauce vat, and it still exudes a strong aroma of fermented sauce.
