The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm
Chapter 7 Helper
As the roosters crowed one after another, the sun broke through the thin clouds, ushering in a new day in the countryside.
The weather is getting warmer, and people who have been staying at home for a whole winter are willing to come out and stretch their bodies.
Uncle Niu Dan from next door came to the old lady's door with his hands in his sleeves and a runny nose. When he saw Xiao Ni standing in the yard, he called her over and wiped his nose with his sleeves, "Ni'er, where is your father? I have something to talk to him about."
Xiao Ni turned around and went into the house and called her father out.
Although he was in the house, his ears were outside, listening carefully to the conversation between the two people, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
Niu Li woke up and was extremely happy to see his sister beside him. His eyes followed Xiao Ni's figure, fearing that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.
When Niu Li saw Ni'er sitting on the kang, he went over and put his head on his sister's lap.
Thinking that Niu Li liked this before, Ni'er didn't move and let her brother act coquettishly with her.
Niu Laosan rubbed his slightly cold hands and walked into the house. "The family next door is building a new house. They think I'm good at work and want me to help. I can pay two cents a day. I'll give half to mom and we can save the rest to buy food for the two children."
Yan Zi's eyes lit up when she heard the news, but her expression soon dimmed. "Can mother let you go? It's spring now, and you have to go to the fields to work in a few days. Our family's farm work depends on you. If you are late, the children will have nothing to eat."
The corners of Niu Lao San's mouth that were curled up lost their arc. He thought that his mother would probably stop him, but after all, it was a way to make money. Even if he was not allowed to do it, as long as it did not delay farm work, it should be fine. He comforted Yan Zi, "They said it can be completed before they get busy, or it will only take a few days. If it doesn't work out, I will go and help during my break."
Nier listened to the conversation between the two and thought to herself that dad and mom still didn't understand grandma. Grandma would only agree to let dad go to work and then offer to help keep the money, for fear that they would lose it. At that time, she would definitely not return the money.
Yan Zi looked at Niu Lao San and the two children who were wearing patched clothes. Although she felt sorry for her man, she still asked him to talk to their mother. It would be even better if they agreed.
Niu Laosan knocked on the old lady's door and told his mother about the matter. After thinking it over, he agreed, not caring whether others were tired or not. He just said that they could not delay the spring farming.
When Niu Lao San walked to the door, the old lady stopped him again, "Lao San, go ask their family if they need anyone else, and ask the eldest and second sons to go as well."
"Hey, I'll go ask now."
Niu Xiaoni heard it clearly in her room, and she jumped out of the room. Niu Li followed closely behind her, "Dad, I'll go ask."
The third child was very happy to see that his daughter was more energetic than the day before, so he asked the two little kids to go next door to ask.
The two stood at the door of Niu Dan's house. Seeing that he was having breakfast, they did not go in. Ni'er asked directly, "Uncle Niu Dan, my father can come to help. Grandma asked if there is any need for anyone else. My uncle and second uncle can also come to help."
Aunt Niudan has always liked Ni'er and Niu Li. Although the two children are both the old lady's children, they are particularly sensible and adorable.
I quickly invited them in and asked, "Have you two had breakfast?"
The two looked at each other and didn't go in. Ni'er spoke first, "We're going to have breakfast soon, so we won't go in."
Uncle Niu Dan was not in a good mood when he thought of her eldest and second uncles. They were notorious for being sneaky and cunning in the village. Who would dare to let these two ancestors work for him? However, he did not say it in front of the two children, "Our family can't afford so many people. Your father is enough."
"Okay, I got it." Ni'er led Niu Li and turned to go back, but Aunt Niudan stuffed a pancake into each of them.
"Eat quickly~"
Niu Li drooled when he saw the biscuit, but he didn't dare to eat it.
Ni'er felt a little distressed when looking at Niu Li's appearance, "Eat~" She thought secretly in her heart, my brother will have enough meals to eat every day in the future.
Only after hearing Ni'er's agreement did Niu Li start to eat the cake in big mouthfuls.
The two children ate voraciously and finished it all in just a few bites. Having a full meal was a luxury these days, and the children were still growing. As the saying goes, a little brat can eat his father to death. How could they grow tall and strong if they were hungry every day?
There was not much to eat at home to begin with, and grandma kept all the good things for his brothers. Niu Li could hardly eat anything, let alone the others. The right thing to do was to divide the family business as soon as possible. With dad's hard-working spirit, our lives would get better and better.
"We're done eating, thank you Uncle Niu Dan and Aunt Niu Dan."
Niu Li also followed his sister's example and thanked the two of them.
Looking at the backs of the two children, Aunt Niu Dan couldn't help but sigh, "It's really a sin to have these two good children in their family."
Uncle Niu Dan sighed and said nothing more, "Eat it quickly, or it will get cold soon."
When Ni'er and Niu Li returned home, they told their grandmother the news that the neighbor was no longer hiring.
This had been expected. The old lady thought that she would be happier if the job was given to the eldest or second son. Then she could take only half of the money and use the rest to improve the family.
The two people who had already eaten pancakes only had a bowl of thin porridge for breakfast.
Yan Zi saw that the two children didn’t eat much and was afraid that they would get sick, so she kept asking them to eat more.
The old lady said indifferently: "The child is young, it's okay if he eats less, but if he eats too much, he might get sick."
I thought it was a good way to save food.
Yan Zi didn't say anything more, cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen.
Ni'er was not even as tall as the stove, and when she wanted to help, her mother sent her back.
During the last few days of leisure before the busy farming season, the restless children would go to the mountains in groups to expend their energy that had nowhere to go.
The children of the Niu family were forbidden to go to the mountain last night and could only play near home.
The old lady thought that her children ate too much, so this way they would consume less and the food in the cupboard would last longer.
Yan Zi took the basket from the kang and patiently taught Ni'er how to embroider slippers.
The thin clothes were not enough for Niu Li to stay outside for too long, so he had to stay in the house and watch his mother and sister embroider insoles.
The swallow-embroidered insoles are very neat and beautiful, and can be sold at a good price even if they are sold in the town. However, grandma always takes the money away to subsidize other families for various reasons.
Because of this incident, Yan Zi had mentioned the issue of dividing the family with the third brother many times, but each time she ended with the sentence, "We won't divide the family as long as mother is still alive."
But this time, Ni'er's incident made the third brother have this idea.
Niu Meiyu, who had married and moved to a place far away, was now coming here in an ox cart. She had her hair combed like a woman, wore new clothes, and looked so clean that she seemed a little out of place with the people in the village.
I quickly found my former home following the route I remembered.
Niu Meiyu stood at the door and looked inside. It was not much different from what she remembered, just more run-down and older. She was a little worried whether she could achieve the purpose of her trip.
