Chapter 169 Cognition
End of the Si hour.
The warm sunlight shone on the two sisters, mingling with the sweat on Yang Yu and Ashu's faces, and fell to the ground.
Lin Chunyi yawned.
He slowly raised his hand to half-cover his eyes, looked up at the sky, and then said lazily, "I was wondering why I was starting to feel sleepy. It's almost noon."
Lin Lanshan squinted and craned her neck to look. "It really is. Time flies by too fast. It feels like just a few blinks of an eye, but more than an hour has passed. No wonder I'm hungry too."
The two spoke in a seemingly nonsensical manner, like a cow's head and a horse's head, but in reality, it represented their daily life:
It's noon now, time for lunch. After lunch, it's time for a nap!
The two of them looked at Ahua, who had been quiet and hadn't said a word.
As for Ahua, she had only just begun to digest most of the big principles of doing business.
I was thinking, what if I put thatch and brightly colored scraps of cloth together and knitted some cute little rabbits and dogs to sell...?
Then I overheard their conversation.
So I started to wonder, how come one of them said they were sleepy, while the other replied that they were hungry?
Are these two things the same thing?
Even at such a young age, Ahua's mind never stopped working in just half a day; she was either thinking or on her way to think...
Seeing her lost in thought, Lin Lanshan smiled and asked, "Ahua, are you hungry?" She was hungry!
Hungry? Ahua quickly stood up, looking annoyed, and said, "I completely forgot it was time to cook!"
"I'm so sorry, Sister Lanshan, Sister Chunyi. Please sit here a little longer, I'll be right there, the food will be ready soon."
I took a step and headed towards the front yard.
"Hey, wait a minute." Lin Chunyi remembered that Ahua was still not fully recovered from her illness, so she called out to her.
After a long pause, he called out to the two people still practicing martial arts in the courtyard, "That's enough for this morning. It's almost lunchtime. Come over and help us clean up and cook!"
Who would dare utter a word of dissent when their master has given the order? Of course, they would simply stop what they were doing, catch their breath, and catch up.
The traditional saying is that men are responsible for external affairs and women for internal affairs.
It means that the man works outside to earn money, while the woman stays at home to prepare delicious meals and keep the house clean.
If a "big" man enters the kitchen or gets his clothes dirty, he loses face and dignity; if a "small" woman goes out to sell things to earn money or chats and laughs with strangers, she is considered immoral...
This is true for the vast majority of families in the world, and the village chief's family is no exception.
They sometimes felt uncomfortable seeing their aunt and sister-in-law busy in the kitchen while Uncle Lin and Brother Zhengmin sat in the main room waiting to eat.
However, in terms of their relationship, they weren't at the point where they could meddle in every little thing. Naturally, they wouldn't offer different ideas or try to change them.
At times like these, they would always think of how, in modern times, their fathers would come home from work every day, and they would come home from school after a long day, both feeling exhausted.
But no one would leave Mom running around in the kitchen alone. Even something as simple as setting the table, serving rice, or carrying dishes together...
You can't just sit at the table like a king, grab your phone, and wait for the food to be served to you.
A family is made up of people and needs to be maintained by people. Whether it's external affairs or internal matters, it should be done by family members together.
The lifestyle of "men working outside the home and women working inside the home" is considered the most common thing by everyone in this era.
They requested that Yang Yu's house be used as a place for Ashu and Ahua to stay.
Although the brother and sister never intended to take advantage of anyone, they not only shared many household chores but also paid the rent...
But after the three of them moved in together, since Ahua was the only girl in the family, all the "household chores" such as cooking and laundry naturally fell to her alone.
They always respect other people's lives and don't meddle in other people's business. Even if something seems a little uncomfortable, they'll just turn a blind eye.
But Ahua is only ten years old and has been sick for the past few days. It's not right for her to worry about whether her older brothers' clothes have been washed or whether they're eating properly, is it?
In any case, they don't need to worry about who dares to disobey them in front of these younger people.
They need to know that it's okay to cook in the kitchen or wash clothes by the river; boys can do just as well!
Cooking is no big deal. If everyone does it together, we can clean up quickly!
So, four people stood obediently in a row in the small kitchen, waiting to be assigned tasks.
And soon Lin Chunyi's command came from inside: "Yang Yu, you're stronger, go and fetch the water back first."
"it is good!"
"Ah Shu, your sister is still sick, don't let her touch cold water. Go pick four or five scallions and two bunches of greens, wash them clean and bring them to me."
A-Shu asked hesitantly, "Sister Chunyi, is four or five sticks?"
"..." This kid makes such a fuss over picking scallions. He must have never taken care of the household chores, leaving them all to his sister.
Lin Lanshan glared at him. "Idiot, four is fine, five is fine too. Oh well, fine, just cut five!"
Ashu grinned and called out, "Hehe, I got it, I'm off!"
"Lin Lanshan, and you too, don't just stand around, go peel some garlic. You don't need me to tell you how much to peel, do you?"
She said speechlessly, "I'm not stupid. So what are you going to do? You're not just going to give orders, are you?"
For a moment, Ahua, who had not yet been assigned a task, Yang Yu, who was carrying two empty buckets and had not yet left the house, and Ashu, who had just reached the kitchen door, all stopped in their tracks.
As the oldest and most powerful "supreme commander" present, he actually had to do work?
As expected of my younger sister, she dares to challenge authority!
Lin Chunyi saw right through these people's thoughts and was speechless.
She rolled her eyes at her sister, "Do you think I'm like you? When it's time to work, you're in pain from head to toe. Me......"
He then glanced with a smile at the others who were listening intently, and said:
"Of course I'll cook a few dishes myself so you can all taste the boss's cooking skills~"
"But you guys, if anyone doesn't finish their chores today, they'll be washing the dishes all by themselves for the next two weeks, I'm telling you!"
Did she have a fierce-looking face? Or had she done something heartless to them? They all thought she would just give orders and then sit in the house like a lord waiting to be fed...
From the moment they heard the word "personally," everyone inexplicably felt a chill in the room.
As soon as they heard the words, they all quickly went off to do their own tasks.
Ahua was used to doing kitchen work, and suddenly having all the work done by others made her feel very uncomfortable.
Her childhood understanding was that her brother and father were in the yard and in the fields every day, while she and her mother were in the kitchen and by the river every day...
The kitchen is a place only girls should go into.
