rebirth of cataclysm

During the two classes in the afternoon, Hu Mingchen almost always thought about how to raise capital and how to do business.

As soon as the school bell rang, Hu Mingchen threw his schoolbag on his shoulder, said hello to his friends and ran out of the classroom first.

Where was Hu Mingchen rushing to in such a hurry? No one could have imagined that this guy was rushing home to feed the pigs.

In the past, Hu Mingchen would have waited until all the things at home were done and it was almost time to eat before he would go home for a long time. The busier the family was, the later he would go back. The purpose was naturally to

be lazy.

Hu Mingchen also did not forget to find some excuses for himself, either cleaning the house or staying with the teacher to do homework. In fact, he was always playing everywhere with his friends, making it difficult to find him even if you wanted to.

Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao would complain every time, but they couldn't stand the favoritism and protection of their mother Jiang Yucai and father Hu Jianjun.

That day, Hu Mingchen went to cut pigs and fell down at Shanshu Rock. It was the result of being blocked at the school gate by his sister Hu Yandie. If he hadn't been blocked and unable to escape, Hu Mingchen would not have taken the initiative to cut pigs at Shanshu Rock.

Grass.

Hu Mingchen is so proactive now, not only because he is reborn, but also because he has his own purpose.

Arriving home in one breath, Hu Mingchen didn't have time to rest, so he quickly lit a fire, put a pot of water on the fire, put a basket on his back, picked up a sickle, and went out to cut pigweed.

To be honest, after not doing these things for many years, Hu Mingchen felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

But after all, I have lived in the countryside since I was a child. Cutting pig grass will become more and more familiar after you get used to it.

By the time Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao returned home with the Hu Dehua brothers and sisters, Hu Mingchen had already cut the pigweed, chopped it up and was putting it down in the pot to cook.

"Why did you come back so early?" Seeing her brother's behavior, her sister Hu Yandie was once again surprised.

"Don't you usually be lazy and come back as late as you can? Today you...did you cut the pigweed?" Hu Yujiao also didn't believe her eyes.

"Why can't I come back so early? I've told you that I am no longer the same person I used to be. Don't doubt it. If it weren't for me, would these pigweeds still have legs and come to our house? You quickly move the stools out to the courtyard.

Do your homework in the dam, I will do the work. When it gets dark later, it will be difficult for you to light the candles and do your homework." Hu Mingchen said to his sisters while pouring the chopped pigweed into the big iron pot.

There is no electricity in Huangni Village yet, so whether you use kerosene lamps or candles to illuminate your homework at night, it is very harmful to your eyes.

"We will do the homework and leave it to you? Then you don't have to do the homework?" Hu Yandie asked in disbelief.

"Well, I've finished my homework at school. You can hurry up and do yours. After I've boiled the pigweed, I'll carry water and dig out the yellow mud." Hu Mingchen threw down the dustpan and reached for the bucket and pole.

Since there is no electricity in Huangni Village, let alone running water. Their water needs to be carried up from the wells in the fields below.

As for yellow mud, it is used to mix with coal noodles to create a sticky fire. Wet coal mixed with yellow mud must be used to cover the fire at night, otherwise the fire will be completely extinguished the next morning.

Ordinary yellow mud is not enough. The yellow mud Hu Mingchen uses at home has to be dug from the ridge above Shanshu Rock. The yellow mud there is difficult to dig and is not soft, but it has good viscosity and is very resistant to burning when mixed with coal.

"Have you really finished your homework? Is it true that all these things are left to you and you don't need us to help you share the burden?" Hu Yandie asked suspiciously.

"No, no, don't worry, I won't tell lies anymore." After saying this, Hu Mingchen said nothing, picked up the bucket and went out.

Nine-year-old Hu Mingchen is not very strong and cannot carry a full load of water, but if he can carry only half of it, there will be no problem. If he can't, just carry less water at a time and run twice more.

"Sister, what happened to Xiaochen? She suddenly changed her temper." Looking at Hu Mingchen's back, Hu Yujiao murmured with a smile.

"Yeah, he does look very different from the past two days. He comes back to do things right after school, and it's a bit hard to understand." Hu Yandie scratched her head and thought.

"Sister, he doesn't have any conspiracy, does he? Does he know that you have money and please us, hoping that we will buy him something to eat every day?" Hu Yujiao guessed from her own perspective.

Hu Mingchen was indeed after the money from Hu Yandie, but not for buying food.

"No matter what his purpose is, let's just take a look. You go get the stool and do your homework quickly. I'll go get some rice to soak and cook later." Hu Yandie shook her head slightly and arranged.

Of course Hu Yujiao was happy to not do anything. Even though she didn't like studying very much, she still chose to move the stool out to do her homework at this time.

Hu Mingchen carried two loads of water in a row and was sweating profusely.

Seeing her brother working so hard, her sister couldn't bear it, so Hu Yandie was about to pick him up and let him rest.

"Sister, it's okay. My parents are not at home. I am the only man in the family. Leave these menial tasks to me. I can still hold on. You hurry up and do your homework. It's still bright and early, so hurry up and do your homework.

You can also save some candles or kerosene at night." Hu Mingchen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a cheerful smile.

"Look at how tired you are. Take a breath and let me do it."

"It's okay, don't worry. I'll run twice and then catch my breath. Go, go, go, go and do your thing." Hu Mingchen didn't give up the pole to his sister and stubbornly went back to work.

Looking at her brother's sweaty figure, Hu Yandie was happy that he was no longer lazy and slippery, but at the same time she was a little sad and moved.

"Xiaochen, why are you carrying the water? Where are your sister and Yujiao?" On the third time, Hu Mingchen met Zhong Ying at the wellhead who also came to carry water.

"Grandma, my sister and the others are doing their homework."

"Naughty girl, if you don't have any work to do, you are actually asked to do it alone. What are you talking about? Naughty girl, just read some books and learn how to read. It seems that I have to criticize them when I have time." Zhong Ying originally said

She had a serious preference for boys over girls, and she was unhappy when Hu Mingchen said this.

"Grandma, it's not that big of a deal. They still have to cook. Who can do the work? I've finished my homework, so it's nothing to do. In today's society, men and women are the same. Read more books, no matter what

Everyone is good." If before his rebirth, Hu Mingchen would be happy that his grandma was so biased towards him, now, his realm will not be so narrow.

"How can it be the same? It's different. The female doll will get married sooner or later, that is, she belongs to someone else's family. Now she is studying for someone else's family. The boy doll is different. In ten thousand years, he was also from the Hu family." Zhong Ying

The old thinking is somewhat ingrained.

"Grandma, we are all from the same family. There is no other family. For ten thousand years, they have been my sister and my sister. There is no difference." Hu Mingchen said while fetching water.

"That's nonsense. Your parents are not at home, and they are bullying you like this. I will scold them later." Zhong Ying is not easily persuaded to change his mind.

"No, grandma, you must not...if you scold them, it will be like harming me." Hu Mingchen is pursuing performance. If his elder sister and younger sister are scolded by grandma because of his work,

Wouldn't it be counterproductive?

"I scolded them to help you, how could they harm you? They are just talking crazy words."

"Well...Grandma, think about it, my parents are not at home. If you stand up for me and scold them both, will they still look good on me? They won't do it when you are not here.

Deal with me, so if you scold them, you are harming me in disguise, and they might not even give me food to eat." Hu Mingchen's brain was originally smart, but he didn't use it on the right path when he was a child. In a short period of time

I thought of an excuse to help defend myself.

"They dare to rebel. If they do that, I won't break their legs. If I don't give you food, you can go to grandma's house to eat. Your house won't have two decent dishes anyway.

Grandma’s house won’t be bad, it’ll be good.” Zhong Ying patted his thigh and said.

Hu Mingchen was really speechless.

He was originally helping to defend, but in the end, the situation developed in the opposite direction. What should he do?

"Grandma, I just said it casually. It's impossible. Sister, they have been very kind to me. I don't have to say anything, so don't worry! Having said that, you really don't scold them. It's none of their business. I volunteer.

Yes, I do things voluntarily. Okay, grandma, you are busy, I am going back." Hu Mingchen had already fetched the water, and after saying that, he picked it up and hurried back.

Although grandma was biased toward him, Hu Mingchen did not approve or support her elder's love.

There are some things that cannot be explained to her now. To change her ideas, we must rely on the progress and development of the family and the entire society in the future.

Hu Mingchen carried the water, dug out the yellow mud, and cooked the pig food. Accordingly, Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao's work was completed.

Hu Mingchen used a pig food bucket to beat the pig food, twisted it and fed it to the pigs, and gave the fire to his sister to cook.

"Sister, my brother is so hard-working, so he has nothing to do with me. It would be great if he would be so hard-working in the future." Hu Yujiao stood next to Hu Yandie and said happily.

"I also hope that he won't be so lazy in the future, but we have to help with what we have to do. Don't just stand there stupidly. Go and help me pick up two sticks of firewood. The fire is too small. If you don't hurry up,

I'm afraid I won't be able to eat when it gets dark." Hu Yandie is worthy of being a sister, and she still needs to be more considerate when thinking about problems.

As Zhong Ying said, eating at Hu Mingchen's house is really simple. Jiang Yucai and Hu Jianjun don't have much good food at home, not to mention they only have three children.

Hu Yandie made a vegetarian vegetable soup and fried some dried beans, and the three siblings dealt with it like this.

After dinner, Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao went to their sister-in-law's house to play with Hu Xiaomin and the others. Only then did Hu Mingchen take out today's books to do homework and review.
