Rebirth in 1980: The Farm Wife Makes a Comeback-Chapter 18 Found the Opportunity
Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Found the Opportunity
"Okay," Qin Xiangyang, though unsure of what his sister intended to do, agreed to whatever she said. Since childhood, his sister had been sensible and suffered a lot, so he unconditionally agreed to anything she asked.
Qin Xiangnuan asked Qin Xiangyang to unfold a piece of white paper, then folded it. She took a pencil and drew several lines on it, creating a simple paper bag design.
"Brother, help me fold along these lines," Qin Xiangnuan pointed out the lines on the white paper.
"Oh, okay."
Qin Xiangyang took some of the papers and started folding them on his lap.
Qin Xiangnuan then opened the cabinet, took out the paste she had prepared, and after she finished cutting, he began to glue them together. Once glued, they formed a small bag that could be used for holding items.
Qin Xiangyang took one and looked at it for a while, then he also started helping Qin Xiangnuan with the gluing, not needing to draw lines anymore.
Nowadays is not like the past; there's no ample nightlife to pass the time, no computers, no mobile phones, and not every household has a television, at least theirs doesn't. Usually, as soon as it gets dark and they've eaten, it's time to sleep.
After all, Qin Xiangnuan is a child and her strength is limited. After gluing for a while, she rubbed her eyes.
"Go to sleep," Qin Xiangyang took the incomplete paper strip from Qin Xiangnuan's hand, "Brother will finish glueing them, and when you wake up tomorrow, you'll see a lot of bags."
Qin Xiangnuan rubbed her eyes again. Children are inherently sleepy. She didn't want to sleep, wanting to make more paper bags because time was really running out, but somehow, she still fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, it was already daylight and there were numerous paper bags beside her, probably hundreds.
She took those paper bags, rubbed them against her face, and felt a deep sorrow.
These were made by her brother. She didn't know whether he had stayed up all night. Early in the morning, Qin Xiangyang had already gone to the field to work. In such cold weather, only Qin Guohua, as a father, would hard-heartedly let his own son do such tough labor, while other children were well-fed and could go to school.
So it's enough, really enough.
Qin Xiangnuan stuffed all the bags into the cabinet, dressed herself, and went out to sweep the yard.
Hu Li finally woke up after getting enough sleep. She was about to start cursing, but when she saw Qin Xiangnuan sweeping the yard, the words she wanted to shout were forcefully swallowed down. The sight of Qin Xiangnuan was as disagreeable to her as swallowing a dead fly, and her face was as green and pained as if she were constipated.
Inside the downturned eyelashes of Qin Xiangnuan, there was a hint of sarcasm.
Then, holding the broom, she continued sweeping, while her younger sister, Qin Xiangmei, who was not even a year younger than her, slept like a pig.
Few leaves fell behind her, the drying yellow veins showing some faint signs of life, which were slowly fading.
Leaves will eventually return to their roots.
This is a fate that comes in a lifetime.
And a fate that goes in a lifetime.
And whenever Qin Xiangyang came back, he would secretly make paper bags with his sister.

These days, there's more work in the fields, and also more rats, so now, people in the village are staying in their own fields. Hu Li's parents had something to tend to recently, so she took her children back to her parent's home. After they left, only Qin Xiangnuan was left at home.
