Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Lunch was eaten well.

After lunch, Chai Mi arranged for Liu San and Zhang Hailan to go home. Since they had already been hired, constantly bothering Liu San and his wife was not quite right.

Whose family doesn't have work, always hiring help.

Even if they are relatives, it won't do.

Although the two families have a good relationship, they wouldn't consider this, but Chai Mi still acted with propriety.

This cheapness cannot always be taken advantage of.

Fortunately, when eating, Chai Xiu came back, and she indeed ran over there to play with her few little companions.

"Next time you go out, tell Mom. You just ran off without a word, where am I supposed to find you? If you run into a child trafficker or something, won't you get snatched away?" Chai Mi scolded a few sentences: "The family is busy, not letting you work, but when you go out, you still have to tell Mom. Can you just leave whenever you want and go wherever you want? I've told you all this, there are people who snatch children, although no one would want someone like you... but it's still better to be careful."

Chai Xiu obediently made an "oh" sound and didn't talk back.

Su Wan beside her frowned and asked: "No, what does our Xiu'er lack? Why wouldn't child traffickers want her?"

Chai Mi herself almost couldn't hold it in: Mom's question was really too sharp...

"Our Xiu'er... cough, cough, she lacks nothing. Alright, Mom, stop stirring things up. Whenever I say something about her, you're unhappy. She goes out every day and can't be found. Children at this age aren't at an age to just play..."

Although Chai Mi said this, Su Wan didn't take it to heart, only saying: "If children don't play, what do they do? As long as they aren't mischievous and cause trouble, it's fine. Xiu'er, don't listen to your sister, if you want to go play, go play. But when you go out to play, don't cause trouble and come back on time."

Chai Xiu made an "en" sound, then ran out to play again.

Recently Chai Xiu didn't have much to do, going out to play with little companions wasn't bad.

Chai Mi was helpless, rested a bit, and by two or three in the afternoon, those digging the well had already started moving. After Chai Mi rested well, she went out.

Chai Mi was different from Chai Youqing; Chai Mi only worried that Chai Youqing couldn't do it, and didn't worry that the workers wouldn't work properly... after all, if they did it poorly, they would have trouble getting their money.

And Chai Youqing was more careful; when digging the well he wasn't needed, he still stood guard on the side.

Of course, mainly just drinking some tea on the side and chatting with people.

Completely playing a supporting role.

Equivalent to a wandering assistant wandering around, not doing proper business, just like always strolling the streets and typing.

Chai Mi first went to look at the well-digging side, and told Chai Youqing a few sentences: Don't always chat idly with the people working about this family and that family's short and long matters, you don't need to help work, but don't delay their work...

Afterwards Chai Mi went into the field to look.

This field wasn't much, only one mu and eight fen. Usually it was the family's treasure land, guaranteeing harvest in drought or flood, but this year's corn had already dried up terribly.

The leaves under the corn stalks had already turned yellow; if it didn't rain soon, it was estimated they wouldn't be far from total loss.

The people take food as heaven; without grain, what to eat and drink?

Chai Mi was so anxious to dig the well for this reason.

What the family ate most was cornmeal cakes, sorghum rice, or millet rice. And the cow they raised at home also had to eat cornmeal. When growing this themselves, only seeds and fertilizer counted as cost, it didn't feel like much.

But if it wasn't enough and they had to buy it outside, they would feel it was especially expensive.

Chai Mi sighed, drilled into the field, and went inside to look. Relatively speaking, the corn near the roadside, because when it rained, rainwater from the road would flow into the field, plus the space was larger, the corn at the field edge would grow a bit better.

Inside, it would be much worse.

After Chai Mi came in, she squatted in the field and looked. The inside of the field was even drier, the ground had already cracked, with deep little gullies. The corn stalks inside, the leaves underneath, had already turned yellow five or six pieces, in a situation where they could just fall over directly in a few more days.

"These years are really hard." Chai Mi looked a few more times, then came out.

Because when she went in, she hadn't wrapped a scarf around herself, causing her neck and hands to be cut several times by the corn leaves. Although they weren't wounds, when she sweated it would hurt.

And because during this period there were many things at home, the field wasn't that clean either, grass had grown, and she would have to weed it another day.

"This broken weather, if it rains heavily, it's really hard." Chai Youqing was chatting with someone around the well-digging area.

But the person he was chatting with wasn't anyone else; it was precisely Sun Yuqing.

Chai Mi then remembered that she should have found time to go to the village to get an electricity certificate, but she had forgotten.

Chai Mi went over and asked, and indeed it was this matter.

"Aiya, Second Uncle, I'll go tomorrow. It's already past four o'clock; in a little while they should be off work. If I don't hurry, I'll have run for nothing."

Sun Yuqing said with his mouth not urgent, not urgent.

Actually, he was anxious.

Not urgent, why would he be anxious?

It should just be that he was too embarrassed to say he wasn't urgent.

"Smoking while smoking." Chai Youqing took out a box of good cigarettes from his pocket—Shilin.

This cigarette was three and a half yuan a box; relatively speaking, it was very luxurious. It was also the most expensive cigarette Chai Youqing smoked.

It was from two days ago when the family held the full-moon banquet; Chai Mi had specially bought a carton of cigarettes, and those remaining two boxes were left. Chai Youqing saw someone working today, so he also packed a box.

"Aiya, Big Brother, you're so grand." Sun Yuqing said with a smile: "The class has come up."

"What class is there, sigh... we common people, even if we want class we have no money. This was two days ago, when our child had the full moon, the family had matters and bought it, leaving just that one box, which I packed."

Chai Youqing said this, and Sun Yuqing immediately became a bit embarrassed.

After all, that day he hadn't gone...

From the perspective of relatives, the two families should be considered truly relatives. After all, Sun Yuqing's eldest sister-in-law, namely Chai Chunfang, was Chai Youqing's own younger sister. And setting that aside, Chai Youqing's maternal grandfather's fifth uncle's niece and Sun Yuqing's mother were also female cousins.

Of course, that kind of close relative was a bit distant.

But because of Chai Chunfang, this truly being relatives was a bit awkward. Chai Chunfang was scolding and beating the young ones over there; as the elder brother, Chai Youqing also had no face.

Of course, Sun Yuqing was no easy lamp either. From the perspective of character, she was just so-so, not very good.

But it depends on who you compare with; compared to Chai Chunfang's family, it would be much better.

At least, Sun Yuqing's mind was still normal... He knew that although last time there was the matter of Chai Chunfang, this matter had nothing to do with Chai Youqing.

From this perspective, Sun Yuqing was not sick.

"Oh, Big Brother, look at this matter..." Sun Yuqing said with a guilty face: "Those two days... just because of our family's child matter, I was too busy. I really forgot this matter..."

Sun Yuqing said, taking money out of his pocket, but it was just a fifty... He gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, stuffing this fifty yuan into Chai Youqing's hand: "Big Brother, I didn't go for the child's full moon, this gift can't be lacking."

Sun Yuqing actually knew clearly himself, the two packs of cigarettes Chai Mi gave him weren't good cigarettes, just over ten yuan a pack, two packs together at most thirty yuan; if it weren't for Chai Mi giving that cigarette, Sun Yuqing would have just pretended not to know.

But now words came one after another, it had come to this, plus he only had this one bill in his pocket, so he gritted his teeth and gave gift money.

Chai Youqing wouldn't accept this money; although the two families were relatives, they originally had no dealings. Before Sun Yuqing's father passed away, Chai Youqing indeed went for anniversaries and memorial days, but that was over ten years ago.

Now Sun Yuqing suddenly took out money, Chai Youqing refused saying: "Oh, Second Uncle, look at you, what is this... I'll return it next time."

"How can there be a next time?" Sun Yuqing saw Chai Youqing not accepting, so he stuffed it hard. He said with a very firm attitude: "Big Brother, this you have matters, I didn't go and I'm already quite embarrassed. This money, you must take it..."

As a result, Chai Youqing refused, Sun Yuqing forced it, the two were tearing at each other there.

Chai Mi was also embarrassed, but Chai Mi immediately said: "Second Uncle, you are too polite."

Afterwards Chai Mi took the money: "I accept this gift, but I still owe you a meal... I'll prepare some food another day, definitely invite you."

"Noon already ate, forget it."

But Chai Mi afterwards put that fifty into his pocket, then took out one hundred yuan...

"Second Uncle, look at your child's matter, we were busy and didn't go, this is for you, you must not dislike it being too little..."

Thus, the two tore at each other for a while.

Simply put, Sun Yuqing didn't accept, Chai Mi forced it.

Finally, Sun Yuqing helplessly accepted it.

Both sides almost finally concluded a sentence: It's not for you, it's for the child...

This way back and forth, Chai Mi lost fifty yuan.

But there was no way, who let Sun Yuqing give first.

The custom here is like this, such as during New Year both families giving lucky money is the same principle, the one who gives later must give a bit more...

Since the talk had come to this, Chai Mi also asked along the way: "Oh, Second Uncle, how is your child? Just Jiawei... he has nothing wrong, right?"

Once this was mentioned, Sun Yuqing immediately turned red, opening and closing his mouth with filthy words flying everywhere.

"**** (four harmonious asterisks), my big brother and his wife, they are really not human, truly have no human nature at all, they did to our family's child..."

Chai Mi automatically filtered out those complaining words.

At the end of the month it was topics like old sesame seeds and rotten grains, such as Sun Yuguang is not human, Chai Chunfang is not a thing, since childhood not a thing, anyway a bunch of chaotic mess, in short: Sun Yuguang and Chai Chunfang couple, worse than livestock.

Of course, after saying those, Sun Yuqing also set off his own goodness.

"Sigh, Big Brother you say, just my sister-in-law, she is truly not human. You are biological siblings, this I originally shouldn't say, but she did inhuman things. Did our child provoke her? The thing she did..." Sun Yuqing was almost spitting out fragrant words.

Chai Youqing as the big brother, no matter what, Chai Chunfang was his younger sister, this matter he really couldn't say anything, could only somewhat embarrassedly lower his head smoking.

"Second Uncle, don't be angry anymore. The matter is past, the child has nothing wrong, right?" Chai Mi still changed the topic.

"The child has nothing wrong, went to the hospital for examination twice, just some skin injuries, afterwards suffered some fright, sleeping at night recently keeps saying sleep talk."

Sun Yuqing was speaking, Chai Youqing took out a cigarette and lit it for him.

Sun Yuqing smoked two puffs, blew a smoke ring: "This is just me, otherwise I would definitely cheat her out of some money..."

Chai Mi smiled in his heart: Sun Yuqing wanted to cheat money, but Chai Chunfang simply didn't give him a chance...

Now Chai Chunfang was dead, Chai Mi wouldn't speak for Chai Chunfang, of course if Chai Chunfang was still alive, Chai Mi might lean more towards reason.

"The child having nothing wrong is fine."

Several people talked for a while, Chai Mi promised to go tomorrow to get the electricity usage proof and send it to the police station, this matter was settled.

Afterwards Sun Yuqing also left.

"This Sun Yuqing, is just so-so. Over and over just those few things, so petty. Your Old Aunt is dead, he still brings up those things." After Sun Yuqing left, Chai Youqing said dissatisfied.

Actually, Sun Yuqing saying those things, in itself for Chai Youqing seemed somewhat disrespectful.

After all, Chai Chunfang was his biological younger sister.

"Sigh, luckily my Old Aunt is dead, otherwise they would still have to sue, now it's die without regret."

Chai Mi said this and instructed Chai Youqing: "Dad, you just watch here, when water comes out you pour it into our own family's field. It's dry, pour hard. At night no matter dinner... you don't do that..."

Don't bring these workers home.

Chai Youqing naturally understood this meaning actually noon meals were also willingly provided, theoretically this was contracted work, not providing food was fine.

But, they are relatives... although somewhat unrelated, they are relatives, providing food is normal.

Chai Mi afterwards went to Liu Zhanggui's house, but Liu Zhanggui was not home.

Chai Mi helplessly went to Song Qiushui's House, found Song Qingshan.

"Uncle, that village's official seal is with you, write me an electricity usage proof, stamp it. The power supply office needs it."

"Not with me... our village also has no official seal, lost long ago... originally always trying to buy one, result was this procedure that procedure, finally still not possible. Only can have above send a new one. I'll sign for you, that power supply office has a guy named Qiangzi, now is Team Leader, he is my distant nephew, you just mention me to him. Let him lead you to get this done." Song Qingshan said: "How to write? You write or I help you write?"

"I also don't know how to write, you write." Chai Mi was also doing this for the first time: "Sun Yuqing didn't say how to write, just said let me open a proof. Or, Uncle you write: Chai Mi's home electricity usage, situation is true, hereby prove. That's it."

"Okay."

Song Qingshan quickly finished writing, after finishing signed and handed to Chai Mi.

"Qiu Shui? How not home?"

"Seems like Da Zhi is coming out, Qiu Shui doesn't know who she heard say, just says wants to go see..."

"See..." Chai Mi shook his head.

See a plane, Liu Zhanggui wasn't home, Song Qiushui should have gone to pick up Da Zhi.
