Yu Sui sighed softly: "No more talking, let's go to bed first. I will discuss it with my sister tomorrow afternoon, and then I will think about how to arrange Xia Xiao'e. If it doesn't work out, I will give her a job in the school's factory. However, She looks too thin, how old is she?"

Xia Linsheng counted with his fingers: "It should be fifteen."

"That won't work. I won't hire a child laborer!"

"Then... let's talk about it. I'll go back to the office tomorrow and think about how to deal with it. Go to sleep."

"Ah."

But in fact, the couple didn't sleep well that night.

When I woke up in the morning, porridge was already placed on the table, as well as some leftover sauerkraut from yesterday. After being recooked, it gave off a strong sour smell.

Xia Xiao'e wore Yu Sui's apron and stood at the door of the kitchen with her hands behind her back: "Brother and sister-in-law, I've cooked the porridge and fried the vegetables. Can you guys take a look?"

Xia Linsheng didn't say anything.

Yu Sui walked over: "Stretch out your hand."

Xia Xiao'e didn't dare: "It's much better! Sister-in-law, that medicine is so good. I didn't feel itchy when I slept last night. It's better!"

Yu Sui emphasized her tone: "Stretch out!"

Xia Xiao'e had no choice but to reach out.

It's only been one night, how could it be good?Still red and white, but not as swollen as yesterday.

Yu Sui's voice was calm but serious: "Yesterday, you applied such a thick ointment on your hands. Now that I have washed the vegetables and rice, I can't eat it. Because I need to feed my child, so I can't eat anything casually."

Xia Xiao'e's face turned red: "...I didn't expect..."

Yu Sui: "So, what you think is not what I want. When you live here from now on, I won't use your ideas to guide you on what to do. Instead, you have to do it according to our ideas, otherwise everyone will be unhappy, and you suddenly Come on, we’re already very unhappy and we hope you won’t do this again.”

"Oh."

"Then you go ahead and eat. I'll cook some noodles myself."

Yu Sui said and went to the kitchen.

Xia Linsheng on the side also glared at Xia Xiao'e: "Don't make your own decisions in the future!"

Xia Xiao'e: "I know, brother. I also know that sister-in-law has good intentions. She really wants my hand to get better."

Xia Linsheng looked at her: "It's good if you know."

"Of course I know. My hands didn't become so swollen and rotten in one day, but my mother didn't take it seriously at all. Why didn't she ask me to wash clothes every day? My sister-in-law is better than my mother."

Yu Sui in the kitchen: "..." Damn it, how did Li Afen get such a flattering daughter?

After Xia Linsheng went to work, Xia Xiao'e came over to talk to Yu Sui: "Sister-in-law, look, is there anything you want me to do?"

Yu Sui was feeding the little glutinous rice balls: "Sit quietly and rest. If you're really bored, you can read a book."

"Can I talk to you?"

"say what?"

"Just talking. We are the only ones at home."

"..."

A moment of silence.

The little glutinous rice ball cheered happily after eating enough milk: "Oh, oh."

Xia Xiao'e looked at the child and smiled: "The little glutinous rice balls look like the children in the New Year pictures, so beautiful. I look like you, exactly like you. My brother has nothing to do with it."

Yu Sui: "Yes, the main thing is like your brother."

"Ah? Why didn't I see it?"

"Why can't you tell? They are all men."

"..." Xia Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then started to laugh: "Ha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha!"

Yu Sui didn't know what was so funny about this.

But Xia Xiao'e just couldn't stop laughing, causing the little glutinous rice balls to giggle too.

The laughter of the two people surrounded the room, and it was still very cheerful. Xiao Tangyuan also opened his arms and said "ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" to Xia Xiao'e, wanting her to hug her.

Xia Xiao'e looked at Yu Sui: "Can I hold him? I promise to do as you say."

Yu Sui looked at Xia Xiao'e's hand: "You didn't apply any medicine on your hand?"

"Not yet. I was going to help you wash the dishes and wash everything before wiping them."

Yu Sui still handed the child to her: "I'm surprised that the little dumpling is very sensitive to smell, and he won't be happy if it's a little different."

"What a smart little brother!" Xia Xiao'e was very happy. She hugged the little dumpling, and the two looked at each other and talked. Their happy voices echoed in the room.

Having someone help hold the baby was actually very relaxing for Yu Sui.

This little guy is very picky. Before, he would not be held by anyone except Wu Su. Once Wu Su left, he hung on Yu Sui, and Yu Sui couldn't do much every day.

While Xia Xiao'e was holding the child, Yu Sui hurriedly went to the house to pack things, wash and clean, there was endless work, and the most important thing was to prepare things for living in the capital.

Although Yu Sui has space and can buy many things, many of them are not from this era. It is not possible to appear in the air, so she can only bring some daily necessities to show off.

At noon, Yu Sui cooked noodles, and the two aunts and sisters ate some. Xia Xiao'e and Yu Sui said, "Sister-in-law, you had to tell my elder brother about the paralyzed Zhao yesterday, otherwise I couldn't explain it clearly. I never thought that you would do it for me." When I spoke, I thought you were hoping that I would be sent back immediately."

Yu Sui didn't answer the question and just asked her: "Did you go to middle school?"

Xia Xiao'e: "Yes. Thanks to my eldest brother who always gave money to my family, I was able to study, otherwise it wouldn't have been my turn."

Yu Sui: "Now that your eldest brother has given you less money, does your mother scold us every day at home?"

"That's for sure! She regards the money earned by her eldest brother as her own. She lost so much all of a sudden. How could she not scold him every day?"

"You don't seem to be helping her? This is a bit unreasonable. You worked hard to stay."

"I would like to speak for her, but nothing she does can be explained. Moreover, the money she took was just for my uncle and my second brother, and my father always went to him for those things. There is a quarrel about money, they both wish the money was theirs, and it would not be my turn to give it to me, so why should I speak for her and make you angry?"

Yu Sui couldn't help but smile: "You can carry it quite clearly."

This smiling face probably encouraged Xia Xiao'e. Xia Xiao'e stretched out her neck and begged:

"Sister-in-law, can you not send me back? I can do whatever you ask me to do. I really don't want to go back. You don't know that before there was no land division. For half-adults like us, the production team didn't give us any heavy work. But Now that the land has been divided, my father and second brother are lazy every day, so my mother has no choice but to boss me around. Bai'er's eighty-year-old burden is also left to me and her to pick. I'm almost dying to follow my mother. Sister-in-law, don't think I'm lazy again. , I’m really fed up with that unfairness, the meat is my second brother’s, and the work is mine, I don’t want to stay in my hometown for a day!”

Yu Sui could understand the hardship of working in the countryside, but her face was indifferent: "How to arrange you is your elder brother's business, don't ask me. Xia Xiao'e, don't push yourself too far."

Xia Xiao'e didn't dare to talk anymore.
