The casual life of the flat space
Chapter 12 Sister's Routine
Upon hearing this, Bai Tiexiong nodded like a chick pecking at rice. He didn't understand what the "three rules" meant, but he understood that his sister wanted to live a good life with him!
"The first rule is that you have to listen to your sister. Your sister has to work and find food, so there will definitely be times when she can't take care of you, so you have to do whatever she asks you to do.
If you are left alone at home, just play in the yard, don't run around, and don't go to Tatoudianzi or the river.
We are the only two sisters left in our family. If anything happens to you, I will die!"
Five-year-old children are at the age when they are very naughty, and Bai Tieying was also worried about the safety of Little Potato, so the first thing he did was to put a restraining spell on him.
"As for the second rule, I hope you can learn good habits. When you get up in the morning, fold the quilt first, then brush your teeth and wash your face every morning and evening, and wash your hands before and after meals.
If it is not clean, many small bugs will run into your stomach. If you get sick, our family has no money to see a doctor, and you don’t have the strength to protect your sister, then your sister will not survive!"
Even the advanced medical science in the original world had diseases that could not be cured. The medical conditions here didn't look very good either. Besides, they had no money, so Bai Tieying put the tight hoop on Bai Tiexiong again with a frown.
"Third, I want you to study. Although I don't have the ability to do so now, I hope you can agree to it first.
You are the only child left in our Bai family. You will have to set up a new household and continue the family line.
If you don't read, you are blind and don't know how big the world is. If you don't read, you won't have a stronger power to protect your sister. If you don't read, your children and your children's children will have to continue to dig in the soil for food.
You don’t have to worry about other problems. Your sister will try her best to create conditions for you. All you have to do is one thing: read more, understand things, broaden your horizons, and cultivate your body and mind!
When my sister gets old and can no longer work, she will rely on us, Tiexiong, to take care of her!"
When Bai Tieying said this, he didn't care whether what he said was true or not, and with tears in his eyes he put the last golden hoop on Bai Tiexiong.
After three hoops, Monkey King, the Black Bear Spirit and the Red Baby all had to surrender. She is quite good at tricking a little potato.
Bai Tiexiong's eyes were filled with tears at his sister's earnest tone. His sister was so good to him, he must live well and take care of his sister in her old age!
If Bai Tieying knew that this naughty kid understood her "three rules" in this way, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood!
But she didn't know, so she went forward and hugged Bai Tiexiong and said, "Our Tiexiong is the best! Go to the house and fold the quilt first, and then do your first task of the morning - eat the tray while watching the house."
Bai Tiexiong nodded heavily. His sister had given him a task, so he must take good care of the house!
He patted Little Potato's head and told him to go into the house and fold the quilt. Bai Tieying packed up the three-piece wicker basket, put the two bowls and trays into one bowl, and then went to the well to replace the bowl with wild vegetables brought from the space. Then he put the bowls from the two spaces into the basket and took them away.
The child was careless and didn't notice that both bowls were on trays. So where did the bowl he used for breakfast come from? He also didn't notice that his sister didn't use a bowl when eating this morning!
Carrying a basket, Bai Tieying walked from the front of the house to the vegetable garden. When she was digging for leeches yesterday, she saw that the fruits on the cherry tree had turned slightly yellow and red. She wanted to see if she could make her first pot of gold from this tree. After all, her family really had no output, and food and clothing were the first problem.
I went to the vegetable garden and took a closer look. As expected, the cherries were almost ripe. I guess we can start picking them in three or four days.
According to her mother, this cherry tree was planted by her grandfather the year she was born. As far as the little girl can remember, she has been looking forward to the arrival of summer every spring after the cherry blossoms.
When the cherries are ripe, she runs to the garden and picks them one by one in the morning before the dew has fallen. Then she picks out the biggest and reddest ones to give to her parents. Listening to her parents praise her for being sensible is the happiest thing for her!
It's a pity that the grandfather passed away early, and the little girl has no impression of him at all. But Bai Tieying is now very grateful to this elder who planted trees for her children. This is the best proof of "the predecessors plant trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade"!
This kind of hairy cherry has little flesh and large seeds, thin skin and is juicy, but it has a strong fruit flavor and looks good. The disadvantage is that the skin is too thin when it is ripe and it can be easily broken. So she has to pay attention to it in the next few days and pick it when it is just ripe.
It was impossible to earn money from cherry in the village, so she had to go to the county town. She had to make more preparations in the next few days. After all, it took more than two hours to go to the county town and back. She didn't know how long it would take to sell the cherries in the county town, and whether there would be buyers...
Thinking of this, Bai Tieying walked out of the vegetable garden and towards the small river behind it.
The source of this stream is said to be in the mountains behind. It winds and we don’t know how far it goes, but it is said to flow into the sea.
The river is not very wide, but the water is very deep in some places. I heard that the whole village was flooded when there was a flood in the past.
There were not many families like Bai Tieying's who had a well. After all, a well cost two taels of silver! Her family had saved up for several generations to have such a well. Families without a well either went to the big well in the village to fetch water, or went directly to the river.
There are only so many families in one village, and there are so many villages upstream, but this small river has been like this for many years, neither fast nor slow, neither increasing nor decreasing, silently nourishing the people along the banks.
Although the villages along the way all belong to the north, their language habits are slightly different, so the river may have different names in different places. Bai Tieying didn't know about other places, but the river in their village was called Beishan River, and the local people named it in such a simple and unpretentious way.
When she arrived at the river, Bai Tieying did not rush into the water. Instead, she soaked the three sets of clothes she brought in the water first, letting the river water rinse them before washing them. Anyway, she felt that the bowl had been washed enough.
The sun was high in the sky and the weather was bright. Her plan needed to wait, so she looked at the big willow tree in front of her.
When the original body had memories, this willow tree was already very tall. My mother said that this willow tree was much older than her.
The willow tree is not straight, its winding trunk is about 20 to 30 feet high, and looks like a dancing dragon. The trunk is covered with bumpy bark, some as big as a fist, some as small as garlic, they are closely arranged together, giving people a simple and mysterious feeling.
Bai Tieying herself doesn’t know how to climb trees. Although her family lives in a small fourth or fifth tier city, it is still a city, and she never had the childhood joy of climbing trees.
But the original body knew how to do it, which saved her a lot of trouble. Anyway, she was just waiting, so Bai Tieying wanted to give it a try.
She carefully read and recited the book in her mind, otherwise she was afraid that her hands and brain would not be coordinated. Making mistakes on the tree was no joke. After thinking it over, she took off her straw sandals and climbed up little by little using her hands and feet.
