It's just that the long hair was coiled around the top of the head and tied tightly with a rubber band.

In this way, as she shuttled through the mountains in search of mountain peppers, the thorns and bushes and thorn vines that loved to mess around could not take her hair.

She is not as thin as Grandma Aiqiang, nor is she hunched like Grandma Lu, nor is she like the fourth uncle.

Similarly, she was not abandoned by her parents like Chen Yang.

She has not only her parents, but also four younger siblings.

However, her parents, like most of the villagers in the village, were authentic farmers who could not read a single word.

Therefore, as the only 'adult' in the family who knows how to read, she has never been far away. She had to stay at home to take care of her younger siblings. Take them to school when school starts, take them to the hospital when they're sick, and help them with their homework after school.

A pair of parents, in order to support many children, will follow their relatives in the village to other provinces to pick pine resin.

Every year, before the end of the first month, her parents have to leave a huge family to her to take care of, and then they will not return to the helm until they return home at the end of the year.

When she returned home with the 120 yuan she had earned from selling mountain pepper today, she hung the snakeskin bag on the firewood in the corner of the courtyard, then hid the 100 yuan bill in the broken shoes under the bed, and put the 20 yuan in the drawer of the old wooden cabinet at the bedside.

As soon as the drawer was opened, a smell of old decay burst out, and it immediately poured into the nose, which was very uncomfortable.

There were only two ten-yuan pieces in the drawer, and then the rest were iodine wine, Yunnan Baiyao powder, alcohol, band-aids and other external drugs used to stop bleeding.

She has to go into the mountains all year round to work, and it is inevitable that she will bump and bump, and sometimes it is normal to almost cut off a finger, so these medicines must be at home.

Looking at these medicines, I couldn't help but glance at my scarred right hand.

Where are the girls' hands, it is estimated that the boys' hands are more beautiful than hers.

However, she sighed softly, feeling that it was nothing, after all, everyone's fate is different, and the growth environment is also different. Although the hands are ugly, there is no shame in earning money to eat by relying on their own labor.

So, don't have to feel inferior.

She pushed the drawer back and went out into the yard to feed the chickens.

"Sanhua, didn't I tell you at noon that you should prepare the chicken food?" she asked, glancing at the empty bucket, turning her head to look at her sister, who was standing in front of the cement sink and twisting her braids in front of the cracked broken mirror.

My sister is fourteen years old, so it's time to help her with some housework.

But Sanhua obviously didn't take her words to heart, and pouted and replied: "You didn't see that I was wearing braids, it wouldn't be okay if you prepared it yourself, and I told you a long time ago, let you stop raising chickens and ducks, the yard stinks to death." You want to raise, raise it, and you want others to help you prepare chicken food. If you want to raise it yourself, you will feed it yourself. ”

Makes sense.

The yard was really stinky, there was chicken and duck poop everywhere, and no one helped clean it up.

Sanhua can't be counted on, let alone eleven or twelve-year-old Sihua and teenage Wuhua.

The seven or eight-year-old brother is the baby of the family, and when her parents went to other places, they repeatedly told her to take good care of her younger brother, and her younger brother is the youngest, so she must love him well.

No one can count on it, so the chicken and duck poop in the yard can only be cleaned up when she is free.

She looked at the dirty yard, took a heavy breath, exhaled, and then picked up the empty bucket and headed for the kitchen.

But somehow, as soon as I walked into the kitchen, my eyes were inexplicably wet.

What's so uncomfortable about a little thing? Isn't it just that I didn't help you prepare chicken food? Chickens and ducks are what you insist on raising, and you should feed them yourself. Uncomfortable what?

Even if you go into the mountains to do a day's work, and now you are tired and hungry, but so what? Haven't you come here like this for more than 300 days a year?

I never saw you so hypocritical when I earned dozens of dollars a day in the past, but today I earned more than a hundred, but I have a glass heart?

Moreover, you are such a big person, you will not die if you do a little more work, what do you care? What is uncomfortable? You are a sister!

While introspective, she wiped her eyes heavily with the back of her hand, and then walked to the edge of the stove, like a mature, sensible and steady adult, as if nothing had happened......

She scooped up the large aluminum pot with a plastic spoon and poured some warm chicken food into the bucket.

Then go to the utility room, add some feed to the bucket, stir it evenly, and then disperse it into several plastic basins in the hospital.

Seeing this, dozens of chickens and ducks immediately swarmed from all around the yard and frantically grabbed food.

Throwing the bucket of water, Xia Hua can't rest yet.

She had to go back to the kitchen and make a fire to boil water. There was no solar power in the house, no water heater, so the bath water for the five people had to be boiled with firewood.

After lighting the fire and pouring cold water into the pot of boiling water, he went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.

The dish is red-backed, and the soup is cooked with eggs and duck eggs, which is not only nutritious but also delicious.

After eating, she had to help her brother prepare the bath water, help him carry it to the bathroom, and then go to wash the dishes. After that, I had to help my two younger siblings do laundry.

By the time I was done, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

She glanced up at the bright starry sky, gritted her teeth, walked into the bathroom, took off her clothes, and poured the cool mountain spring water directly on her body.

Then shiver while scrubbing your body.

It wasn't until I washed off the sweat stains all over my body, dried my body, and put on my clothes that my purple lips stopped chattering slightly.

To heat a pot of water, you need at least a few catties of firewood.

The four younger siblings, each with a pot of water, plus stir-fry and cook, and chicken food, have to burn at least a large bundle of firewood a day. And one day, even if she doesn't pick mountain pepper, at most she can only pull two bundles of firewood from the mountains home.

You don't need money for water, but it's not easy to chop wood, so you can save a little.

She glanced at the dirty clothes soaked in the bucket, and really had no strength, so she got into the bed and fell asleep.

Oh, by the way, her name is Lu Xiahua and she is eighteen years old......

"I'm only eighteen years old. The third grandfather said, "Xiaoyang, you add her WeChat." ”

As he spoke, the third grandfather handed Chen Yang a piece of paper with a phone number written on it.

"This is what your fifth aunt finally asked. The third grandfather patted Chen Yang's shoulder and said with a smile, "People are still yellow flowers, the family is poor, but they are beautiful." ”

Chen Yang wanted to refuse, but seeing the third grandfather's happy appearance, he could only take the paper and said, "Third grandfather, don't be too happy, let me tell you, I only have my son in my heart now." ”

"I know. The third grandfather walked to the crib, stroked the little fat on Xiao Qian's face with his hand, and said, "But adding a WeChat will not do anything." Moreover, Xiao Qian also needs to find another mother. ”

"But, third grandfather, you just said that the other party is only eighteen years old, where am I looking for Xiaoqian's mother, I am obviously looking for my own daughter. ”

"Hahaha. The third grandfather laughed unkindly, "Although people are only eighteen years old, they may not do much housework, but they are beautiful, let me tell you, it is not easy to find a wife, and it is even more difficult to find a beautiful one." You don't have to pick and choose, on your terms, it's good to have a woman willing to ask for you. ”

This, I don't want this grandfather.

What do you mean by me? As if I really don't like women.

Who's that, that's who......

Alas. Chen Yang went through all the women he knew in his mind, and he really didn't find anyone who was interesting to him.

Even when the glamorous young @ women in the next village came to sell peanuts, they all looked at the fourth uncle with squinting eyes, and they were not interested in him at all.

"Okay, okay, I'll just add her WeChat, third grandfather, don't hurt me. Chen Yang immediately took out his mobile phone and asked, "Third grandfather, what's her name?"

"Didn't it say it? ”

Chen Yang looked at the paper again, and then realized that there was another name at the bottom of the paper: Zhou Zixin.

Chen Yang searched Zhou Zixin's phone number, and then saw the avatar of a beautiful woman with an overly beautiful face, and without thinking about it, he turned off his mobile phone and did not send an application for adding.

But he still said: "Third grandfather, I have already added it, now you can rest assured." ”

The third grandfather laughed and said: "Okay, just add it, talk to others, this girl is also from our county, if you have a chance, you can also go to meet you." But ......."

The third grandfather suddenly said with a solemn expression: "However, before we meet, don't send him your photos." ”

"Why?"

"I'm afraid she'll not see you after she's seen your picture. The third grandfather said as he walked out of the yard with a smile.

Chen yang:???????

What do you mean? What do you mean if you see my picture and refuse to see me?

I'm so good at having good facial features, sword eyebrows, and starry eyes.

I was born in the wrong place, if I was born in a big city, with this face, I was discovered by talent scouts every minute and made my debut directly into a big star.

What kind of people are these people talking about me like that?

Chen Yang threw the paper on the ground and went to wash the peppercorns.

Although there were a lot of people who came to sell mountain pepper yesterday, there were not many mountain peppers collected, and the average was about 30 catties per person.

A total of more than 400 catties were collected.

Because the fourth uncle went to deliver the peanuts early in the morning, these mountain peppers could only be cleaned by Chen Yang alone.

However, because these mountain peppers have been picked up by the villagers very cleanly, there are almost no impurities, so it is not difficult to clean.

The difficulty is that the number seems to be a bit much, after all, it is hundreds of catties.

He first changed Xiao Qian from the crib to the stroller, and let Xiao Qian lie in the car with his head high and his feet low looking at the direction of the water tank.

Then I brought a plastic bucket with a capacity of several hundred catties, and then packed the mountain pepper from the room from the room in a bamboo basket and poured it into the plastic bucket.

At the same time, fill the plastic bucket with water hose, and when the bucket is filled, then use a cleaned wooden stick to stir the mountain pepper in the water.

As a result, the impurities sink directly to the bottom of the water.

While stirring and cleaning the mountain pepper, he looked at Xiao Qian lying in the baby stroller from time to time.

Xiao Qian was lying in the stroller, and the stroller had an awning, so there was no need to worry about him being exposed to the sun.

Although the sun does not shine directly on him, the astigmatism will still cover his white and tender skin like a faint layer of pearl powder, making him look extraordinarily radiant.

He blinked his big eyes and looked at his busy father, grinning for a moment, and showing a bewildered face for the next, and at first glance he thought he was falling into the contemplation of a wise man.

Although your baby can't speak, your ears are sensitive.

The mountain lying in the yard was a small sneeze, and he could suddenly prick up his ears with his eyes shining to trace the source of the sound.

But he was locked in a small stroller, and he could only shake his little body from side to side.

Chen Yang saw that he was a little restless at this time, so he habitually took off and recited ancient poems: "Goose goose - goose, song Xiang - heavenly song, white hair floating - green water, red palm plucking - clear wave." ”

That's how he taught early.

He doesn't have any education, and he doesn't know all kinds of high-level early education methods, so he can only keep in touch with the baby in the simplest way.

Although this is just a short poem, he will deliberately recite it with a very exaggerated expression and tone, and will also drag the middle words for a long time, in exchange for Xiao Qian's smiling face.

Xiao Qian is also very face-saving, whenever Dad reads the word in the middle with a very exaggerated expression and tone, he will definitely make a string of pleasant sounds.

After washing all the mountain peppers, it is perfect to use the newly bought bamboo dustpan to scoop the mountain peppers. The bamboo dustpan is clean, firm, and filterable, and can pick up nearly 20 catties of mountain pepper every time.

After scooping it up, pour the mountain pepper directly into the bamboo flat, and it is just enough to fill a bamboo flat, perfect!

Remove all the mountain pepper and pour it into the bamboo flats, and then put it on a wooden rack to dry.

After drying the mountain pepper, clean up the yard again, and then have time to change Xiaoqian's diapers.

At this time, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

The little one has been trapped in the stroller for more than an hour.

After Chen Yang washed his hands, he took him off the cart and put him on the crawling mat in the hall, took off his pants, and tore off his diaper.

Hey, it stinks!

Chen Yang looked at the large yellow patch on the diaper, so he deliberately covered his nose and mouth with his hand, and shouted in pain to Xiao Qian, who was curled up on his legs: "Ah, it stinks, baby you stink, ah, it stinks." ”

His voice was exaggerated and funny, Xiao Qian was amused, and there was a string of hiahia laughter.

After tearing the diaper, you should gently lift the baby's buttocks with your hands, and then fold the diaper in half, so that the poop will be wrapped, and when the baby's butt is put down again, it will not be pressed on the poop again.

At this time, gently wipe the baby's butt with a wet tissue.

But sometimes, the baby is more noisy, and may be covered with poop at the base of the thighs or even the roots of the little jiji, if so, then it takes a little more thought.

Anyway, you must help your baby wipe all the poop off his skin. So that he can play comfortably.

Don't litter wet wipes after wiping them off.

At this time, pull out the diaper that has been pressed under the baby's buttocks, then put the dirty wet tissue in the middle of the diaper, fold the diaper in half again, and then roll it up horizontally, and fix the diaper with the elastic velcro that comes with the diaper.

In this way, not only can the dogs in the village be prevented from picking up diapers, but also the uncles who take out the garbage will lose their appetite because they see the children's poop.

Convenient with others is convenient with yourself.

After changing diapers, remember to wash your hands.

Chen Yang propped up the floor with his hands, looked face to face at Xiao Qian, who was lying on his back on the crawling mat, and said, "Baby, you wait here, Dad go wash your hands." ”

Xiao Qian grinned, and then ......

A soak of urine rushed to the sky, and his father was wiped out.

Chen Yang screamed and hurriedly fell to the side. But he didn't want to, Xiao Qian also smiled while hiahia, and then turned sideways slightly, and at the same time, the water column also fell over, and his father was wiped again.

Dashan, who was lying on the ground, looked at this scene, turned over very easily and happily, turned over with his feet to the sky and looked up at the master and the little master.

Chen Yang was depressed......

got up, touched the child's urine on his face with one hand, raised it with the other, and made a gesture to hit Xiao Qian: "Little villain, Dad is going to spank you." ”

Where can Xiao Qian understand what he is saying, but he just feels that after pouring a bubble of urine out like a splash of ink, the whole person is comfortable, so he laughs.

Of course, a standard daddy would not be angry because of being urinated on by the baby, but he still pretended to be very angry, raised his hand, and scared: "Little villain, if you laugh again, Dad is really going to beat your ass." ”

"Wang. When Dashan heard his master's words, he hurriedly endured the pain in his buttocks, got up, ran to his master's feet, and arched his master's legs with his head, trying to get his master away.

But it was too small to shake its master, so it turned around, turned its butt to its master, and looked back at its master, as if to say:

Come on, it's a big fart, do you want to make such a big fuss? It's like you didn't pee when you were a kid. If you really want to do it, then you can spank me.

Chen Yang looked at Dashan's incomplete buttocks, couldn't cry or laugh, patted Dashan's head with his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll tease the baby, don't you come and stick in every time, okay? ”

After that, I went to get a mop and a rag, cleaned up Xiaoqian's urine stall, and went to wash my hands again.

Dashan lay under the crib again, and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, is it easy for me? I have to worry about the safety of my little master all the time, and I have to take care of an adult mentally retarded child, is it easy?"
