Chapter 3 Sleeping in the Same Bed

Chapter 3 Sleeping in the Same Bed

Shen Xia didn’t have a big appetite, so she felt full after eating these. So she didn’t eat the sweet potatoes and left them for them.

Mother Song saw that Shen Xia had not eaten much and said, "Xia Xia, the village chief's family is going to slaughter a pig tomorrow. I'll ask the eldest brother to buy some pork for you to satisfy your craving."

Shen Xia heard it and said: "Mom, no, I'm not greedy, don't waste money, save it for ————". What to call them?

"Save it for medicine! You've already wasted a lot of money marrying me." Shen Xia continued.

"How can you say it's a waste to marry you!" Song's mother said anxiously, afraid that Shen Xia would think too much.

He then said: "Okay, wait until your injury is healed, I will go to the mountain to catch rabbits for you."

Shen Xia looked at Song Jiang in surprise and said, "His feet——".

"It's just a sprain. It will be fine in a few days," Song's mother explained.

Oh, the original owner was so stupid that he committed suicide before he could figure out the situation.

Shen Xia looked at Song Ming and said, "What about Song Ming?" He didn't know what to call the Song brothers. He could only call them by their names.

"Second brother! Second brother's hand might be--". Song's mother looked worried, "But Xia Xia, Second brother's left hand is only injured, his right hand can still move, and he can still work, anyway, it won't be hard for you". Song's mother was worried that Shen Xia would be depressed again, so she kept assuring her that she would not let her suffer.

When Song Ming heard what his mother said, he lowered his head even more. There were only two or three laborers in the family, and now his hand was disabled. It was conceivable how difficult life would be for the family in the future.

But Shen Xia didn't care much about it, thinking that she was also a surgical intern and could have been promoted this year. In the end -

When I have time, I will help them to see if they can be cured. If I can, it will be a reward for their sincerity.

After dinner, Shen Xia originally wanted to clean up the dishes herself. It was impossible for her to eat and live in someone else's house without doing any work, especially when this family was full of old, weak and sick people.

But Song's mother kept pushing her into the room, saying that her injuries had not yet healed fully and she should go and rest quickly.

In the end, Shen Xia had no choice but to go and rest.

I returned to the room and looked at the bare walls of the house, which were empty. I decided to go out for a walk tomorrow and see the world, otherwise I would not be able to survive eating all this.

Looking at the current situation, there is no time to be sad. Making money is the most important thing.

Shen Xia was thinking beside the bed, when Song Yu came in with a basin of water: "Wife, this is the water my mother asked me to prepare for you to wash your face."

Shen Xia looked at the little boy in front of her. He was pale and thin. Because of malnutrition, he was not tall, much shorter than herself. He looked like a ten-year-old child. He was also skinny and wore tattered linen clothes.

Shen Xia looked at the thin man carrying such a large basin of water, and stood up to take it. "Thank you!"

The little boy smiled and said, "You're welcome."

"Song Yu, can I make a request to you?"

"Wife, what do you say?"

"Can you please stop calling me wife, please call me sister." Shen Xia tried to say it, mainly because she couldn't accept a child calling her wife, it always felt very strange.

"Why? Aren't you our wife?" Song Yu asked curiously.

Shen Xia could only fool him: "You are still young now, you have to wait until you are eighteen years old before you can call me that."

"Really? Does that mean only the eldest and second brothers can call you wife?"

"!!!!" If possible, don't call me like that. I don't like it.

I can't accept sharing a wife, but I can work hard to earn money to help you find wives.

You are marrying a common wife now because you are poor. When you are rich, you will not just want one wife.

Shen Xia now has no choice but to acknowledge Song Yu’s point of view, otherwise children will always have a hundred thousand questions waiting for you.

"Yes!"

"Sister, can I discuss something with you?" Song Yuxiao said cautiously.

"sure!".

"That's right, my eldest and second brothers are still in my third brother's room, sleeping on the floor. The floor is very damp, but mother said that she couldn't disturb you." After saying that, she looked at Shen Xia with a worried look on her face.

After hearing this, Shen Xia said, "Then you and the third brother should sleep in this room! Let the eldest and second brothers sleep in the next bed. The main reason is that I like to move around when I sleep, and I am afraid of touching the wounds of the eldest and second brothers." Just kidding, Song Jiang and Song Ming are hot-blooded men. It would be unsafe for them to live together, and it would not be convenient.

It seems that it is best to seize the time to make money and repair the house, preferably one room for each person.

Now we can only make do. To be conservative, we can only choose the fifth and third children. The third child is blind and can't see, and the fifth child is still a child, so we can let him sleep in the middle at night.

When I was in college, a group of classmates and I went out to play, and some boys and girls slept in the same room, but we were always separated and it was no big deal.

Shen Xia went to bed after washing up. The quilt was so hard and not comfortable at all. Fortunately, it was not cold now, so it didn't matter whether she covered herself with it or not.

After just a moment, Song Yu and Song Jin came in. Song Jin was indeed the most handsome among the brothers, with the most handsome facial features. He should be over 1.7 meters tall. He didn't look very old, so he should still grow taller. I imagine, if he grew to 1.8 meters, that would be perfect.

In fact, if you don't look carefully, you can't tell that he is blind, his eyes are actually bright.

He was holding a stick in his hand and touching things everywhere, probably to feel if there was anything there. I guess this was the room of the eldest and second brother, and he was not familiar with it.

Shen Xia spoke slowly: "Please ask Third Brother to share a room with us, mainly because the eldest and second brothers are injured, and I like to move around when I sleep, and I'm afraid of bumping into them, which will make the wounds take a long time to heal." Shen Xia struggled for a long time, and felt that it was not good to call them by their full names, so he simply called them brother according to their ranking, which was a respectful title.

After hearing what Shen Xia said, Song Jin remained calm and agreed, "Yes, that's right."

Seeing that Song Jin didn't say anything, Shen Xia stopped talking.

go to bed.

Shen Xia asked Song Yu to sleep in the middle.

"Why doesn't sister sleep in the middle?" Song Yu was curious.

Shen Xia knew that the little boy would definitely ask, what should I say! I can't just say, I don't want to be next to your third brother!

All I can say is: "I don't like sleeping in the middle because it's too hot."

"Oh, then I don't want to sleep in the middle either," Song Yu said.

Shen Xia wanted to take action. This little brat was so troublesome.

I just wanted to speak.

Then I heard Song Jin next to me say coldly: "You are the shortest, it will be less crowded if you sleep in the middle, go to bed quickly, children will not grow tall if they go to bed late."

When Song Yu heard that he would not grow taller, he became afraid and dared not say anything more. He closed his eyes and went to sleep obediently.

The bed at that time was built by myself. It was about 1.8 meters long, but it was a bit crowded for three people to sleep on it.

It seems that I still need to make a bed first.

Otherwise it would be inconvenient to put big characters on it.

But the rooms at that time were not like the modern ones. The rooms were very small and could only accommodate one bed. The houses in the countryside were relatively large.

It would be no problem even if I add a small bed of 1.5 meters later.
