A family of three goes through the ages, not being a saint and not helping the poor

Chu Yiling, who had been picking up rice ears for a while at around nine in the morning, saw Chu Dahu taking a break, so she went over to him and asked, "Brother Dahu, how many children did your mother give birth to?"

"Three. I'm the eldest, and I have two younger sisters."

"So how does your mother treat you?"

"Very good, but I think my mother still likes me a little more, because every time my sisters and I divide things equally, my mother will give me the extra portion."

"Is that so? Then your sisters won't have any objections?"

"No, because my mother has always been like this, they are used to it."

After hearing what Chu Dahu said, Chu Yiling seemed to understand why Chu Anshan and Meng Qiuping didn't want to have another child. Her eyes suddenly became red unconsciously.

However, when she thought that it was time to go to work, if she cried at this time, many people would definitely see her, and she didn't know how the story would be spread.

Thinking of this, she immediately took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her eyes, then picked up the water bottle on her back and drank several sips of water to suppress the heat in her eyes.

"Do you want some water too?" Chu Yiling asked Chu Dahu when she saw him staring at her.

"No, I'm not thirsty yet."

"Then let's continue picking up rice ears. Picking more can earn us more work points."

Chu Dahu nodded when he heard Chu Yiling's words, and then he and Chu Yiling started to look for the rice ears left in the fields.

Chu Yiling returned home at around 11 o'clock in the afternoon and said to Chu Anshan and Meng Qiuping: "Mom and Dad, I will never ask you to have a second child again, and I will no longer envy others for having brothers and sisters."

"Did something happen?"

"No, I just think that I've caused you enough trouble. If there's another version 2.0 of me, you and my dad probably won't be able to handle it."

"As long as you know."

Chu Yiling couldn't help but laugh when she heard Meng Qiuping's words. Then she stopped talking about this topic and sat down at the table to have lunch with them.

After lunch, they went together to paste newspapers on the remaining walls and then lay down on the kang mat on the ground to take a nap.

It was not until the whistle for work sounded that they hurriedly got up and went to work.

"Lingling, are you going to collect bird eggs with us today?"

"No, I'm going to the mountains with my parents to collect firewood today."

"Okay, then we'll go up the mountain together tomorrow."

Chu Yiling nodded when she heard Chu Dahe's words, and she continued to bend down to pick up rice ears.

I don’t know if she really had good luck. Even though she was still following the three brothers of the Chu family to pick up rice ears today, the amount of rice she picked up was more than three times that of yesterday, which was enough to exchange for one work point.

Thinking of this, she decided to secretly collect some of the rice ears into the space, so that the three brothers of the Chu family would not be surprised when they saw them, thus attracting other people's attention.

At around five in the evening, after Chu Yiling handed over the rice ears, she said goodbye to the three brothers of the Chu family and said see you tomorrow, then she headed straight home.

When she returned home, she saw Chu Anshan packing up his axe and backpack, so she asked him, "Dad, are you planning to go to the mountain to chop wood?"

"Well, the weather will soon get cooler after the autumn harvest, and it's time for our family to prepare firewood for the winter."

"Don't worry, Dad. As long as your daughter is here, you don't have to worry about not having firewood in the winter."

"Don't be careless. Many things must be made public."

"understood."
