Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 149 Big Sister, are you a devil?
"Don't be afraid, your older sister is here. Everything is in the past, it's all in the past. Things will only get better from now on." She gently put her arms around the two of them, her tone reassuring, telling them again and again that the life they were living now was real, not a dream.

At first, Bai Jing also thought that all of this might be a dream, but after she changed her family's situation and left the place where she had been suffering for more than ten years with her family, she dared to truly believe that she had really come back and had really changed.

She understood her younger siblings' worries better than anyone else.

Compared to before, everything feels so unreal.

···
After coming down from the mountain, snowflakes started falling again.

The group had to quicken their pace, and by the time they got home, each of them was covered in snowflakes.

"Xiaoling, quickly start the fire in the main room and add more charcoal," Bai Jing called out to Bai Ling as she entered the main room.

"Understood, eldest sister."

After their heart-to-heart talk on the mountain, the siblings became even closer.

Bai Ling lost her silence, Xiao Qing became more carefree, and Xiao Yong became more cheerful and mischievous than before.

"Xiao Jing, you and Xiao Yong, hurry up and change your clothes, or the snowflakes on your clothes will melt away." Seeing the two children still playing in the snow, Bai Jing put down her basket and called out to them.

"Okay, big sister." Dropping the snowball in her hand, Xiao Qing obediently went back to her room to change her clothes.

Xiao Yong naturally obeyed as well, but instead of dropping the snowball on the ground, he tossed it into the air and then ran away quickly.

With a soft thud, the snowball fell to the ground in the yard.

Bai Jing's face was covered in black snow because there was water in the snow on the ground in the yard. When he threw it, the snow water splashed onto Bai Jing.

"Bai Yong, I think you're asking for a beating." This younger brother, it's good to beat him while he's still young.

"Ah, big sister, I was wrong."

The room was filled with the joyful bickering and playful arguments of the siblings, each sound representing their happiness.

Having eaten a lot at noon, they weren't too hungry, and the fire in the main room made everyone feel a bit sleepy.

Looking at the time, it was already past three o'clock. Bai Jing didn't dare let them go inside to sleep, afraid that they wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

So he asked a question that none of the children liked.

Do you have any homework?

Bai Jing herself hadn't been to school for many years and had actually forgotten most of it; asking this question was just a conditioned reflex.

"what."

Bai Yong's drowsiness vanished. "Big sister, what did you say? I can't hear you." He replied as he stood up. "Big sister, I'm going to go play with Dazhuang. I'll be back in a bit."

Well, one got away.

Helpless, Bai Jing could only look at Bai Jing and Bai Ling.

Bai Jing was almost in tears. "Big sister, can't we do it after the New Year? It's only holiday time." She was only in third grade, and she really did have a lot of homework.

But she didn't want to write.

Is the eldest sister a devil?

The two younger sisters couldn't escape it, so they took out their homework and dawdled over it, not knowing whether it was right or wrong.

Bai Jing was both amused and exasperated by what she saw.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye. Bai Jing had already planned out what to do with the wild boars in her space. She would give some to Uncle Zhong and the others, keep some for the bureau, and keep one for her family so that the three families could share it together, enough to last them a long time.

If Uncle Zhong doesn't come looking for her today, then she'll go find them.

Fortunately, Bai Jing was not disappointed; Zhong Qiming and Wang Fei arrived at Bai Jing's house before noon.

"You've finally arrived, come in quickly." Upon opening the door and seeing the two people she had been waiting for, Bai Jing smiled brightly and invited them into the house. As soon as they entered, the two looked around the courtyard.

"This yard is nice, not smaller than mine. Xiao Jing, it seems you're in luck," Zhong Qiming said with envy after looking it over.

Wang Fei didn't say anything, but just smiled and put the things he was carrying on the table in the main room. "This must be your sister-in-law. She's very pretty."

Bai Jing nodded. "Yes, these are my second and third sisters and my younger brother. Come over and call them. This is Uncle Zhong and Uncle Wang. If it weren't for their help, we wouldn't have been able to leave that village."

They knew Zhong Qiming and the other two, after all, he had delivered things and letters to their home before.

"Hello Uncle Zhong, hello Uncle Wang."

"Okay, you're all doing well."

After responding with a smile, Zhong Qiming and Wang Fei took out several red envelopes from their clothes. "Here, this is a gift from your uncle."

The three of them dared not accept it directly, and instead turned their attention to their eldest sister.

Seeing the eldest sister nod, the three of them smiled and accepted the gifts, quickly thanking her, "Thank you, Uncle Zhong and Uncle Wang."

"good."

People tend to have a biased view of obedient children; after all, who likes a naughty child?

"Alright, Uncle Zhong and Uncle Wang, please sit down. Xiaoling, go and pour some sugar water."

No one in the family is used to drinking tea, and we hadn't prepared any, so we could only serve them sweet soup.

"Look at you, still being so polite with us. No need for sweet soup, hot water is fine. It was quite cold riding here." Zhong Qiming quickly refused. What kind of grown man would drink sweet soup?

They're not children.

“That’s right, just listen to your Uncle Zhong, pour a cup of hot water.” Wang Fei nodded in agreement.

Bai Jing sighed helplessly, "Alright then. No one in my family is used to drinking tea, so I didn't prepare any. We'll have lunch here, and I'll cook." Since they don't like it, they won't drink it. They're not strangers anyway.

"That's a good idea. That's exactly what we were planning to do, otherwise we wouldn't have chosen this time to come." After getting to know each other, they didn't stand on ceremony with Bai Jing.

“We’re all family, no need to be so polite. If I were too polite, my mother would give me a piece of her mind,” Bai Jing replied with a laugh.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, they got down to business. The two explained their purpose, which Bai Jing naturally understood.

“This can be done, but do you really want to go through the police station? Uncle Zhong, given your family’s situation, there are actually better ways.” Bai Jing had already learned about the Zhong family’s situation last time.

It's better to use the Zhong family's name than to use my own.

Zhong Qiming understood Bai Jing's meaning, but that's precisely why he didn't want to get involved with his family.

“My dad will never agree. Now, because of the rural assignment, my parents are pressuring me a lot.” Zhong Qiming never expected that there would be such a malicious person in the compound.

Ugh.

Wang Fei didn't have this worry, since his household registration was in the commune, making him practically a rural resident, and the task of going to the countryside wouldn't fall to him.

Qiming, on the other hand, has a city household registration but no job and no family, which makes him a worry. In addition, his father is a strict man, both to the family and to outsiders, and has offended many people behind the scenes.

And that's how he ended up being targeted by someone.

Bai Jing naturally knew about this, otherwise she wouldn't have started working so early.

It's because she graduated early.

In the past, going to the countryside was voluntary, but now every household is required to do so, unless they have no unmarried children or are still in school. Anyone who has graduated but is unemployed must go to the countryside.

Of course, one must be at least sixteen years old; those under sixteen do not have this concern.
