It was a cool autumn day. Seven-month-old Jiang Yue was carried by her grandmother in a basket to the willow trees at the edge of the field to play with her sisters.

The field became a paradise for Jiang Yue and her three children. The fourth and fifth sisters would catch insects for them to play with from time to time...

The three sisters and grandmothers each held a sickle and harvested the ears of corn.

My grandmother worked tirelessly on this job, but my three sisters suffered terribly from it.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were struggling to harvest the millet. From time to time, the villagers passing by would take a look and couldn't help showing sympathy.

But everyone has their own work to do and they are all exhausted. No one has the time and energy to help them.

This scene was met with much ridicule from the children.

"Er Ni, why don't you see your father and mother?"

"Look at them, they are so capable..."

Liu Chunfeng glanced at the children and said, "Children, it's noon now, don't run around, or your parents won't be able to find you later."

Jiang Dani remained calm and ignored him.

Jiang Erni looked at the mocking eyes of the little girls beside her and her face turned red.

Especially Lin Xiaoyong's words before him,

"In our family, it's all done by the adults and brothers. Erni, where are your parents?"

Another one asked where her parents were going.

Jiang Erni wanted to give up, but because her grandmother and her elder and third sisters were sweating profusely, she endured all the unpleasantness.

"My parents have become very capable, and they are out there making a lot of money."

With just one sentence, he shut up all the children and forced them to leave with envious eyes.

Jiang Sanni's hands were covered with blisters, and her eyes were red from the pain.

I silently thought in my heart that their Jiang family will definitely succeed.

When Xiao Jiangyue in the field heard this...

Fortunately, the adults are relatively simple and honest and don’t make sarcastic remarks overtly.

When she grows up, good days will come.

Let’s see who dares to laugh at grandma and sisters.

It’s good that she can turn over. She could have lay on her stomach by herself a long time ago.

It was at the edge of the field. The shade of the trees had gone and her skin was sunburned under the scorching sun.

Then he looked up at his fourth sister and asked for help to call grandma or eldest sister to change seats.

She spoke in baby talk, but failed to call her grandmother, but she made her fourth sister take off her coarse cloth pants for her.

Lying on the small mattress in the backpack with his little butt exposed...

Don't get too comfortable~~~

But, a little embarrassing...

Fortunately, my second sister came and the little pants were put on again.

However, my second sister's actions were a bit rude.

I really want grandma to change it.

"Fourth sister, you can't take off Xiaoliu's pants casually, do you hear me?" Jiang Erni said,

Jiang Sini and Jiang Wuni didn't quite understand, but they nodded blankly.

Finally, Xiao Jiangyue got what she wanted.

My second sister moved me to the shade of a tree, and I lay in the backpack, drowsy...

She thought that she was probably the only baby in the village who was not naked.

After working for several days,

Grandma and her three sisters worked hard to bring the millet back home on a cart.

It's another long process of pounding rice.

Little Jiangyue just watched it, unable to help in any way, she just had to be obedient and not cause trouble for her family.

It is not easy to husk millet.

Use a medicine jar-like container and a mallet to pound and grind...

After finishing all this, Liu Chunfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A new problem has arisen...

Every year, endless taxes oppress people's hearts.

Taxes include land tax and head tax.

Head tax, you have to pay it when you are three years old.

This is also the important reason why little Jiang Yue was almost strangled to death by her biological mother just before she was born.

The Jiang family has seven members, except for Xiaoliu and the fifth sister who will be three years old in a few months, and they all have to pay taxes.

The land tax is easy to deal with, but the head tax...

Therefore, Liu Chunfeng had to pay taxes on the newly milled millet.

She finished paying all the taxes in the morning and also returned the two pounds of flour to her neighbor Ms. Li.

For lunch, I had a thick millet porridge.

Freshly milled millet is very fragrant.

Looking at the tender and clear little faces of her granddaughters, Liu Chunfeng had to force herself to be strong.

Little Jiang Yue was fed rice porridge mouthful by mouthful by her grandmother, and she was very satisfied.

Drinking milk is a luxury for her.

In the afternoon,

Liu Chunfeng looked at the remaining several stones of grain after paying taxes.

I felt in my pocket the fifty copper coins I had exchanged for millet that morning.

Anyway, we can barely make ends meet.

And it is not allowed for these millets to survive solely on their own.

In this era, millet porridge was only eaten by wealthy families.

And she planned to keep it to exchange for food.

You can buy more other grains, cornmeal, etc.

If we save a little, we should be able to make it until next autumn harvest.

When she noticed that Dani was holding seven-month-old baby Jiang Yue in front of her, her face instantly changed into a kind one.

"Danni, you've been busy for a whole season. You and Erni, Sanni and the others should take a good rest during this period."

Little Jiang Yue looked at her grandmother's changing face, thinking in her little head,

How can I improve the current situation at home?

It's not easy for grandma, it's not easy for the eldest sister, it's not easy for the second and third sisters, the fourth and fifth sisters can't be relied on, and she, a little girl, really wants to do her best to help.

As he thought about it, he looked at his second and third sisters who were sleeping soundly in the west room.

In a corner of the yard, the fourth sister was playing with ants on the ground with a small stick.

There was also the fifth sister standing on the steps, looking towards the gate, waiting for something.

"Dani is not tired." Jiang Dani shook her head. Grandma was the most tired.

Liu Chunfeng knew that her eldest granddaughter felt sorry for her, so she just smiled at her.

"We agreed that everyone of you will have eggs to eat. Grandma, go to the village and ask who has hens for sale."

Coincidentally, there are quite a few millets at home.

The granddaughters worked hard, but in the end, they couldn't extinguish their expectations.

When little Jiang Yue heard this, an idea flashed in her little head, and she also waved her little hand, saying,

She wants to go out too.

This scene made Liu Chunfeng feel that she was mistreating her child.

"Xiaoliu, you stay at home with your big sister. Grandma will be back soon." Liu Chunfeng said as she touched little Jiang Yue's head and hugged her.

Jiang Dani nodded.

Little Jiang Yue got into her grandmother's arms as she wished, smiling with her little mouth wide open.

Let Liu Chunfeng temporarily forget the troubles in front of her,

However, she held little Jiang Yue for just a moment before handing her back to her eldest granddaughter.

"It's all because grandma is too busy. She hasn't been holding my little six much during this period."

Looking at Jiang Yue's thin body, Liu Chunfeng felt annoyed.

Xiaoliu has no milk to drink, so we can only let her eat better.

Liu Chunfeng carried a small basket in one hand and walked towards the gate.

But the moment he stepped out of the door, he suddenly felt dizzy and his whole body began to tilt.

When little Jiang Yue turned her head, she was startled and looked at her grandmother who screamed twice, which attracted the attention of her eldest sister who was about to go back to the house.

Jiang Dani followed Xiao Jiang Yue's line of sight.

Grandma had already leaned against the wall and stood firmly on her feet.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

"Grandma is fine."

"Listen to Dani and go back to the room and rest." Jiang Dani knew that her grandmother was too tired during this period.

I was so tired that I couldn't walk steadily.

Liu Chunfeng also knew that if her health collapsed, the children would be left unattended.

But little Jiang Yue had the will but not the strength.

"Grandma, I'm going to buy a chicken." Jiang Dani said as she took her grandma's purse with one hand.

"Don't worry, I won't spend money recklessly."

"Let grandma go." Liu Chunfeng wanted to stop her. She was afraid that Dani was too young and might be fooled by others.

But I felt a little sleepy, so at Dani's suggestion, I went back to the house and lay down.

While lying down, he took little Jiang Yue from Jiang Dani's hands and held her to his side.

"Xiaoliu, sleep with grandma for a while."

Xiao Jiangyue...Okay.

However, as soon as she lay down, she was hugged by her elder sister again.

"Don't worry, grandma." Jiang Dani felt that grandma must be in poor health.

So he took the purse and carried little Jiang Yue, who didn't want to sleep, out of the yard.

The grandmother in the house felt dizzy and was unable to stop little Jiang Yue from going out, so she fell asleep.

Little Jiang Yue clung tightly to her elder sister's shoulders.

After all, my eldest sister is only a ten-year-old child, and she can't walk steadily when I hold her.
