Suisui at Seventy - chapter 7.1

Chapter 7.1

Jiang Miaomiao tried to straighten up her stiff back after working in the field for a long time, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. Since she came back from the rebirth, she hasn't rested for a day, and she has never finished her daily work outside the house. She came back to enjoy the blessing, not to suffer again!

Jiang Miaomiao took a breath and wiped her sweat. She looked around, and her eyes were full of people hunched over and busy harvesting rice, and their faces were filled with the joy of harvest.

She was a little bit disdainful, and some people would count on that for a lifetime. And her Jiang Miaomiao, no matter in her previous life or in this life, she would never have be a savory peasant farmer.

At this moment, she vaguely saw Song Weizheng coming out of the crops in the distance. He was tall and straight, and he stood out from the crowd when he stood up.

"Brother, why didn't you call me when you left in the morning? Okay, I went to work with you today." Song Yuxue got up in the morning and didn't see anyone else, so she ran to the field to look for him.

Song Weizheng's face was faint, and he looked down at her thin body, "You are still young, what can you do? I'm enough alone."

Song Yuxue was a little unhappy when she heard that, "but other kids are helping out. I can't help much, earning two work points a day is good..."

Before she finished speaking, Song Yuxue felt a big warm hand covering her head, and Song Weizheng's gentle but unquestionable voice came from above, "Yuxue, what should you do if you're tired? If you want to help, just do your work at home. If you have time, you should read more, you know?"

Song Yuxue lowered her head, feeling a little awkward, but she couldn't refute, she flatly nodded and responded. She immediately raised the basket on her arm, and held it in front of Song Weizheng, "Brother, did you not eat again in the morning? I brought you some, I have already eaten, and I have left for my mother. This is extra."

Song Yuxue knew that Song Weizheng often secretly and casually tried to eat or even not eat, just to save them rations.

Song Weizheng opened the basket and saw a bowl of steaming wild vegetable porridge and miscellaneous noodles. He smiled slightly and rubbed Song Yuxue's hair vigorously with his hands, "Silly girl, you are your brother? I have to work all day, and I will still be hungry?"

"You think I’m stupid! I’ve seen before that you cooked a meal and tricked us to tell us that you had eaten it, and then you secretly drank cold water in the kitchen to support your belly!" Song Yuxue was a little dissatisfied at first, but she said something grieved, wronged for her brother.

A few years earlier, she was still young, but she already has memories. At that time, it was very difficult at home. Her mother was in poor health and she often fell ill. Her elder brother's thin back once carried her on his back, and walked the mountain road time and time again to see the doctor. In order to keep them healthy, he often lie that he have eaten and give them the food.

Now she has grown up a little bit, and her body is getting better, although she is not strong enough, but she can also help her brother to bear some things so that he does not have to work so hard.

Song Weizheng was slightly stunned when he heard what his sister said. He thought she was young, but he didn't expect to see everything in her eyes. A glimmer of relief flashed in his eyes, and then he squatted down, looked directly at her eyes, and said seriously, "Xiaoxue has grown up."

"Brother knows that you are sensible and want to help, but is your brother so weak in your heart? It's been a few years ago, and my brother hasn't been like this anymore."

Song Yuxue didn't believe it anymore, "Really?"

Song Weizheng smiled lightly, "What are you doing to lie to you? It used to be too difficult. No, the food allocated is too small. The situation has improved a little bit in recent years, and it’s okay to let you all eat. Brother still has money for you to study, what do you think?"
