Only this green, not disappointing the spring

"Zhou Jun's wife! Oh no, something big has happened!"...!

A series of sharp shouts came from somewhere in Huaihua Village.

The villagers lived close to each other and the walls of their courtyards were low, so most of the people heard it and ran out of their homes.

There were only the elderly, the weak, women and children. Most of the men in the family were working in the fields. Some were holding spatulas, some were carrying vegetable bowls, and there was even a child who was going to the toilet and ran out with his pants half pulled up...

Everyone was curious about what had happened, and the sound was terrifying.

"Where's Zhou Jun's wife? Come quickly! Your husband has fainted in the field and he won't respond no matter how you call him!"

Everyone finally figured out what was going on, and Zhou Jun's wife, Li, staggered out of the house.

Her face was pale, her hands and feet were stiff, she was so nervous that she couldn't speak, and tears were falling unconsciously.

She weakly grabbed the Zhang family's daughter-in-law who came to tip her off, and tried to open her eyes wide to look at her, "Zhang, Sister-in-law Zhang..."

The impatient Zhang's wife grabbed Li's hand and shouted loudly:

"Oh, Zhou Jun's wife, you have to hold on. Your husband has been carried by his second brother to borrow a donkey cart from Old Man Liu's house. Hurry up and take all the money you can get from home. We have to chase them quickly!"

After being yelled at by Zhang's daughter-in-law, Li finally came to her senses a little. She hurriedly ran to the bedroom, lifted up the floor tiles, and took out an old box.

She stuffed all the silver and money into her purse, then quickly put the purse into the secret pocket of her inner clothes, and then ran out with peace of mind.

Everyone tacitly made way for her, and Li, grabbed by the arm by the sturdy daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, ran away like a gust of wind.

The people gathered in the Zhou family's yard were talking in a flurry as they walked out. Some children who didn't understand the situation were still playing and fighting excitedly.

No one remembers that there are two children left in this family, or maybe they don’t want to meddle in other people’s business.

After all, every family is poor these days, and no one is willing to prepare two extra meals for unrelated people.

Zhou Xiaoxi held her sister's hand and stood at the door of the main hall, watching everyone in the yard leave. Even her eldest aunt and second aunt acted like elders, telling her and her sister to be more sensible, take care of the house and not run around.

There was no trace of panic on her face, she just frowned tightly and thought quickly in her mind about what she could do.

Zhou Xiaoxi, who was only twelve years old, shouldn't be so calm. If others saw her reaction at this moment, they would think she was possessed.

In fact, Zhou Xiaoxi accidentally fell into an icy river last winter, caught a cold and fell ill, and soon lost his life.

The current Zhou Xiaoxi has traveled from the 21st century by borrowing the body of the original owner.

In her previous life, she was a single woman in her thirties, a typical office worker. It was unknown what kind of opportunity allowed her soul to travel to this different time and space.

Maybe he died of overwork while working overtime, and some passing god gave him a chance to be reborn out of pity.

His hand was gently shaken a few times, and Zhou Xiaonan, who was only ten years old, said with a pale face and a trembling voice:

"Sister, our dad will be okay, right?"

Zhou Xiaoxi was brought back to his thoughts and turned to look at his sister.

"Xiao Nan, I don't know either. But our father is still so young, it shouldn't be a big problem. And we can't just worry and be afraid, we have to think about what we can do."

Zhou Xiaonan was very scared at first, but after listening to her sister's calm and gentle voice, she gradually calmed down.

I don’t know when it started, but my sister no longer competed with me for things. She became more and more stable, quiet, and very capable.

Because my family doesn't have a boy, I am always looked down upon by the villagers.

But Zhou Xiaonan didn't care. She felt that her sister was better than all the children in the village. Boys were not as capable as her sister. She would have someone they would envy in the future!

"Sister, please assign tasks to me quickly. I will definitely not be lazy!"

Zhou Xiaoxi patted her sister's head lovingly, "Of course, we should make lunch first and fill our stomachs first."

The fire on the stove had gone out long ago, and the half-cooked beans had dried up in the pot because no water was added. There was a faint smell of burning, and the cooking spatula lay alone on the ground.

Zhou Xiaoxi picked up the spatula and cleaned it, then added some water to the pot and asked his sister to help light the fire, and managed to save the dish.

The two sisters had a makeshift lunch consisting of whole-grain pancakes and inedible beans.

"Xiao Nan, our mother is accompanying father to see a doctor. The journey is too far, and they probably haven't arrived at the clinic yet."

"We are both girls and too young to go to the city to visit our parents. Since we can only stay at home, we can do all the housework. What do you think?"

Zhou Xiaonan nodded in response like a chick pecking at rice.

"Then go clean the chicken coop and replace the water and bran. I'll go get some water and fill the water tank."

After saying that, Zhou Xiaoxi carried the wooden bucket from home and walked towards the well at the entrance of the village.

She was young and thin, so she could only carry half a bucket of water home. After struggling for more than half an hour, she finally filled the water tank with sweat all over her forehead.

At the same time, Xiaonan was not idle either, picking up all the odd jobs around the house. She wanted to carry the wooden basin to wash the clothes, but Zhou Xiaoxi stopped her.

"Xiao Nan, the river is too dangerous and you are still too young. I will go wash. Take out the white flour at home and mix it with half of the whole grain flour. Mix the flour and wait for me to go back and make some pancakes for Dad and Mom to eat when they come back."

Zhou Xiaonan nodded obediently and ran back to the kitchen quickly.

The two sisters worked for most of the day until sunset.

The two girls finished all the housework they could do, locked the door and ran to the entrance of the village to squat.

A young man with bad intentions came running over to the two sisters with a runny nose and straw sandals on and started yelling:

"Zhou Xiaoxi, Zhou Xiaonan, you two are losing money. If your father dies, just wait to be sold for money! Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you usually act noble, but now you have to work as foot-washing maids for other families!"

The other teenagers also joined in the laughter. They were at the most energetic age, but now it was really disgusting to watch them.

Sometimes, children’s evil is the purest. They do not have the empathy of adults, nor do they know what it means to put themselves in others’ shoes.
