644 The eldest sister is like a mother 4
"Hey, grandma, I'll go right away."

Jian Jian glanced at the old man next to him, reluctantly pulled the empty string twice, then handed it to the old man, and said: "Grandpa, I'm going to do the laundry, and we're practicing tomorrow for getting the hair right. .”

The old man looked at the old wife, then at the eldest granddaughter and the bow she handed over, and was silent, but the bow in Jian Jian's hand said warmly: "Okay, good boy, you go to wash the clothes first, I want to talk to your grandma. "

Jian Jian raised his eyebrows for the unknown, didn't say anything, just smiled obediently, then turned around, picked up the wooden basin and went out the door.

"Go, go into the house and talk."

Seeing that Jian Jian had gone far away, the old man took it and walked in.

"say what?"

Seeing her husband's serious face, the old lady was a little curious, so she rubbed the mud on her trouser legs and walked in. After entering the house, she followed the old man's wishes and closed the door.

"What are you doing? It's mysterious."

The old man sat down by the bed, thought for a while, looked at the old wife and said: "Old woman, starting tomorrow, you can divide the work in the hands of the eldest girl, and the second and third girls are all grown up, so you can help me more or less." I'm going to be busy..."

Before the old man finished speaking, Mrs. Miao immediately jumped up and retorted: "How can it be done? The family is in such a difficult situation now. Could it be that the eldest girl is not asked to do anything, and she should be idle to be the eldest lady?"

"Besides, the second girl and the third girl still have to look after my two eldest grandsons."

Seeing that the old wife couldn't finish talking by herself, the old man frowned, and patiently listened to what the old wife said, taking advantage of her pause to catch her breath, the old man hurriedly said: "Okay, wait until I finish talking." .”

"I didn't say anything and I wouldn't let the big girl do it. What are you in a hurry for?"

"Didn't I stay away from the test head just now? Then the big girl came over and said she wanted to try it, so I asked her to try it, and it turned out that the child is very strong."

As he said that, the old man pointed to the bow on the table in front of him, "I used this bow when I was young. When the bow was finished, how many young men saw me hunting deer with it, and they were envious. They ran over to borrow the bow and wanted to borrow it." Go hunting in the mountains.

The results of it?How many of those boys who farm every day can draw their bows to the full?It seems that there are only two pillars and iron bolts, right?However, even so, the two of them barely stretched their full capacity, trying to hit the target with an arrow, but they still couldn't do it. "

Granny Miao listened to the old man reminiscing about the past, and a bright light suddenly appeared in her eyes, "You mean, you, a big girl like you, can draw the full bow and hit the target?"

The old man patted his thigh excitedly, "That's not it."

"Let me tell you, this child really deserves to be the seed of our old Miao family. Like her father and me, he has a lot of strength at hand."

"No, the eldest girl is much more capable than her father. How many years did her father practice before he was sixteen or seventeen before he could use the bow freely?

And the big girl is capable, just now I watched her draw the bow with her kiss, she fully drew the bow, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye. "

"So, I just thought, how about I hand over the hunting skills to her and take her into the mountains for a few laps, so that if one day I kick my legs, you mothers can also find something to do, I can also close my eyes in peace."

After listening to the old lady Miao, she was silent, silently calculating the gains and losses in her heart.

She didn't doubt that what the old man said was lying to her. After all, she had been married into Lao Miao's family for dozens of years. She knew who the old man was. He was a dull, honest man who never talked nonsense. People play.

"If that's the case, what about the work at home and in the field? Can't I be busy alone?"

Mr. Miao pondered: "In this way, you can work harder these days, and I will help you when I have free time. When the big girl gets familiar with the mountains, I will stay and serve the fields. What do you think?"

"Okay, listen to you."

Seeing that the old man had said so, thinking of his wife's body, old lady Miao nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then you should remember to prepare the children's food better. Whether it is training the head or entering the mountain, it is hard work. If there is nothing in the stomach, it is really weak and dangerous. There are all the mountains on our side. The big bug and wild boar are here."

"Snapped"

Seeing that her husband even wanted to say this, Mrs. Miao was not happy immediately, so she slapped her in greeting.

"Can I still not know about this? Didn't you and the child's father be all set up by me?"

Saying that, Mrs. Miao just rolled her eyes again in anger.

The old man rubbed his shoulders twice without pain, and grinned, and the strings that had been tense these days also loosened.

Ever since his son passed away, the old man has never had a good night's sleep, and there is always a big stone on his heart, which makes him feel short of breath all day.

There is no way, the pressure of survival is too great, I am afraid that I will not be able to support my family; I am afraid that my body is not important, and my children will kick their legs before they grow up.

It's all right now, the eldest girl is capable, as long as she works hard, the family can earn some income, and she can drag this broken body for a few more days to take care of the juniors below, so as not to call them someone else Bullied to go.

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help feeling a little ashamed again, feeling sorry for the big girl.

After all, the big girl is a daughter's family, not a man's family.

Although he doesn't value men and women, he still has to take the eyes of the people around him into consideration.

If you want to hunt in the mountains, first of all, you must have some real hands and feet. At the very least, you can run, jump, and climb trees when you encounter danger. You can use a hatchet to chop those wild animals.

In addition, the daily work of archery, head and hand feel cannot be left behind. After a long time, no matter whether the arms, waist, legs, or thighs, they will definitely not lose weight.

When the time comes, there will be a big gap between standing with other girls.

Although it is not impossible to marry, but it may be difficult to marry well.

The old man looked at the old wife seriously, and said solemnly: "Old woman, after all, we owe the big girl a lot. In the future, you, in the future, you can be more tolerant to her, okay?"

"Look at what you're saying, it's like how unkind to my old lady, am I that kind of person?" Old lady Miao's face froze, and she smiled unnaturally.

After returning from the laundry, Jian Jian found that Mrs. Miao's attitude towards her was much better. Not only did she stop yelling and cursing at her, but she also took over the cooking errands in the kitchen. Push her towards the old man.

Seeing this, Jian Jian somewhat guessed what the old man might have said to the old lady just now, but he just wanted her to treat her better and stop assigning so much work to her.

It's not that the old man and Miao father didn't say these words to the old lady in the past, but the effect was very little. If they got angry, they would intensify and find trouble for the original owner, or they would cry endlessly, scolding the old man and Miao father for their lack of conscience.

But this time, as soon as the old man said it, the results were immediate. It seemed that the old man had cleared things up for the old lady, and told her to recognize who the family would depend on for food in the future.

Simple expressed satisfaction with this.
