Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 53

Xu Dalang finished the fried dumplings in two bites, then poured the millet porridge into his mouth again, and wiped his mouth in satisfaction, "It's delicious!"

Xu Yue reached out to wipe off the yellow rice grains from the corner of her mouth for her brother. Seeing that the family members were eating happily, she felt a sense of accomplishment.

After eating and drinking enough, the family of five huddled in a small room and fell asleep soundly.

This is the most peaceful sleep Xu Yue has had since crossing. In her dream, there is no hunger, thirst, or escape, and there are no strange and numb faces of the victims.

She slept without a dream until dawn, huddled in the bed, lazily looking through the broken window at the family members who had already got up and busy, but deliberately lowered their voices.

My elder brother and my father are building the roof, my mother is holding a pile of boards and playing with an ink fountain, and my sister is cooking breakfast by a small stove under the corner of the courtyard.

The bright sunshine fell down, and the peace was a little unreal.

Xu Yue stretched her waist, took a deep breath of the cool air mixed with the aroma of rice porridge, and a carp jumped up from the bed that had not much remaining warmth.

"You can really sleep." Xu Erniang laughed when she heard the movement outside the house.

But seeing Xu Yue's disheveled hair, her eyes lit up, and she rushed in immediately, holding Xu Yue insisting on combing her hair.

Xu Yue struggled to no avail, so she had to remind her sister not to make herself too weird hairstyle.

Xu Erniang hurriedly said yes, no, and combed her buns similar to those of the little girls outside.

But there is still her own design in it, the hairband is woven into the shape of petals, which looks more delicate than those ordinary ones.

Without a mirror, Xu Yue couldn't see what she looked like, so she could only guess from the admiring eyes of her parents and brothers that today's hairstyle is pretty.

Who would have thought that she would get a free stylist for nothing~
"Dalang, don't be so busy, go to the water workshop in front and get some water." Wang ordered.

Xu Dalang let out an oh, and immediately left Xu Da, picked up the two brand new wooden barrels in the corner of the yard, and prepared to go out.

Xu Yue immediately chased after her, "I'm going too."

Xu Dalang smiled and nodded, motioning for his sister to go forward.

Xu Yue took out the blue bucket from the research room and asked Wang, "Mother, can I take out this bucket and use it?"

Fearing that Aunt would think that she was just playing for fun, Xu Yue explained, "There is no water tank at home, let my sister add a water condensation technique, the water in it will last for a long time."

Mrs. Wang didn't respond, but only looked at Xu Erniang, asking if it is possible to use a plastic bucket to add water condensation.

Xu Erniang nodded, this is feasible, and, "I can make another hidden magic circle, so that people can't help but ignore the existence of this bucket."

Xu Da suddenly laughed, and the money for a water tank was saved in this way.

Xu Dalang heard Xu Erniang's words, and handed her two buckets in his hand, "Enchanted."

"Wood is not good." Xu Erniang ruthlessly refused.

Xu Dalang let out a cry of disappointment, and took Xu Yue's half-person-high plastic bucket from Xu Yue's hand, and the siblings went out to fetch water together.

Xu Da wanted to find someone to build the roof, so he took a pole and followed him.

As soon as the father and son went out, they met Wang Dayou's family.

Wang Dayou also wanted to find someone to repair the house, Xu Da handed the pole to Xu Yue to carry it, and the two men left together.

With an empty bucket on her shoulder, Tong was about to fetch water, so Xu Yue and the others walked slowly towards the water workshop together.

The aunt of the Wang family led her younger brother and followed her mother, with a smile on her face, her eyes looked here and there, full of curiosity about this new environment.

There is a big well on the north side of the city, and a pavilion is specially built on it. The people who live here come here to fetch water every morning.

There were a lot of people coming and going, and there were quite a lot of boys who were as old as Xu Dalang. Such an old child was already used as an adult in a poor family.

There are also people at Xu Yue's age, who each carry a heavy wooden barrel that is about as tall as their own, and move towards the house bit by bit.

I meet familiar adults on the road, and occasionally help children with a ride, and the neighbors have a harmonious relationship.

Brother and sister Xu Yue deliberately waited for most of the people to leave after fetching water, and then put their own plastic buckets into the well to fill them with water.

It took about 1 minute, and it was only because Xu Yue pretended to be a child and fetched water while playing in the water that it did not arouse suspicion.

When the plastic bucket was full and Xu Dalang lifted it up, the surface of the well sank about ten centimeters.

Fortunately, there were few people, and few people paid attention to the problem of the water level, so they passed by.

Mrs. Tong had already filled the water, but seeing Xu Yue playing with water by the water, Xu Dalang didn't care about her, afraid that she would fall into the water, so he kept waiting by the side.

It wasn't until Xu Yue seemed to have had enough fun that the two families brought the water back together.

The wooden bucket itself has a certain weight, and it is a little difficult for an adult Tong to carry two buckets of water.

Compared with her, Xu Dalang carried three buckets of water by himself, walked vigorously, and still had one hand free to hold his sister, which made him stand out.

Those who passed by the brothers and sisters couldn't help but look back and wonder.

"This new kid has great strength!" Someone exclaimed.

The thick-skinned one followed directly, asking behind the siblings:

"The west side of the city needs people to do porters, and one person pays five dollars a day for a meal. Boy, do you want to try it with uncle?"

But he didn't want to, the young man ignored his inquiry and walked on his own.

Suspiciously, the man took another two steps closer, and he was almost in front of Xu Yue. This is Xu Dalang's taboo, so he immediately turned around and replied indifferently: "No!"

At the same time, he raised his hand and made a warning gesture, signaling this person not to follow.

The man was taken aback by this move, but he had already rejected him, so he had no choice but to give up.

But thinking that he was frightened by the boy, he became angry from embarrassment, snorted at the backs of the two brothers and sisters, and then left.

Tong Shi watched the man leave angrily, then looked at the brothers and sisters of the Xu family who were walking ahead, smiled helplessly and shook his head.

It was still a bit cold in the morning, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and couldn't help coughing twice.

Afraid of the cold to the children, I called the two children and went home quickly.

Xu Dalang carried water into the house, Xu Yue stood at the door and looked at Tong's back, frowning slightly and stepped into the yard.

"The Wang family's aunt seems to be sick." Xu Yuetong whispered to her sister.

Xu Erniang said "Huh?" She was sick because she has a husband and children, so what's the matter with you?

Seeing the look in her sister's eyes, Xu Yue also felt that she was worrying too much, so she shrugged and didn't think about it.

In the middle of the morning, Xu Da and Wang Dayou came back, and they went to the government office to receive relief food, [-] catties of soybeans, [-] catties of millet, and [-] catties of wheat, a total of [-] catties of grain.

Xu Da walked into the house carrying a sack full of food, and greeted outside, "Come in."

Who is it called?

Several people in the family looked out the door, and it turned out that it was the workers who had been called to repair the house.
