An Erni came down from the mountain with her two younger sisters, all three of whom carried a large pile of branches on their backs.

It is said to be a mountain, but in fact it is a soil and stone bag on the west side of Anjiabao, the area is not large, and the altitude is only 200 meters.

Because it is in the west of the village, the people of Anjiabao directly call this nameless hill package as West Mountain.

The western mountain is not big, and there are no large beasts, not even wolves, at most some small animals such as hares and mountain mice.

There are no large beasts, and the mountains are very safe, so even children dare to go up to the mountains to collect firewood and wild fruits.

"Sister, I'm hungry—"

An Sini touched her shriveled stomach and said pitifully.

The little girl is 11 years old this year, which is the age of growing her body, and she follows her father and sister to do heavy work in the field, but she can only eat half full, and it is strange that she is not hungry.

An Erni's thin hand touched the fourth sister's sparse hair, and said softly: "Didn't we pick some sour dates? ”

Besides, it's going to be night, and it's time for dinner.

Although I can only drink some sweet potato porridge, I can drink a full water.

If it really didn't work, she fished out the sweet potatoes and gave them to her sister to eat.

An Erni, as the eldest daughter of the third room, is very clear about the situation of their house in the An family.

Sometimes, she also resents her mother for not caring for them and not supporting them. But if you look at the other families in the village, their families are actually much better.

At least, they weren't starved to death or given away.

You must know that in the past two years, there were natural disasters, and many people in the village starved to death, most of them were old people and girls.

There are also newborn baby girls who have either been given away or simply thrown away by their families.

Compared to them, their sisters are already doing well.

Although they have to work, whose children don't work?!

"Why should we give the sour dates we picked to others?"

An Sanni was carrying a bundle of firewood on her back, and she was so tired that her body was shaking.

Of course, her stomach was also singing empty city plans, and this feeling of being tired and hungry made her irritable directly. I couldn't hide it anymore, and said what was in my heart.

An Erni looked at her sister with some astonishment.

Although her Sanni is a little lively, she has never dared to be so bold.

"That's none other than my sister-in-law. My mother said that I should take good care of my sister-in-law. ”

Fang Xiu'e was trembling in the An family, and she didn't even dare to offend the nephew in the next room, let alone dare to provoke the little overlord of the An family.

Not only her, but even her four daughters were told by her all day long: Don't make your little aunt angry, serve her well!

An Erni and the four are also obedient, and the youngest Wuni is only three years old, and she already knows how to serve food, pour water, and wash her face for her sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, obviously they are all the same people, why can she eat and dress well without doing anything?"

An Sanni endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help it and broke out directly.

They are money-losers, but isn't the little aunt who is also a woman a money-loser?

How could it be that just a few of their sisters worked as cattle and horses, and Ann Bony could lie at home and be a princess?!

"Sanni, you, you-"

An Erni was directly frightened, and looked left and right, they had already gone down the mountain and entered the village, and they were not far from their homes.

She didn't dare to say it loudly, for fear of being heard by someone she knew, so she lowered her voice, "There are no men in our room, and we can't hold our heads up at home." My sister-in-law is the heart of the milk, if she is provoked, the grandmother will definitely be angry, and when the time comes, it will be a few of us who will suffer. ”

Especially my mother, I will definitely be severely scolded by my grandmother.

Grandma has always disliked her mother, what if she is ruthless and kicks her out again?

An Sini was also frightened by the third sister, "Third sister, what's wrong with you? Okay, why did you suddenly compare with your aunt? We are different from my sister-in-law-"

"What's the difference? Aren't they all women?"

Since An Sanni shouted out, she simply broke the jar and broke it.

Anyway, she was most annoyed by this kind of superb sister-in-law, but she didn't expect to encounter it herself, but she didn't say it, one word: fight!

"Okay, don't say it!Sanni, I don't care why you became so bold, but before you say these words, think about your mother, it's not easy for your mother. ”

An Erni was afraid that the third sister would be so open-mouthed when she returned home, so she persuaded her bitterly, "And Dad, he is usually the most filial and loves his sister-in-law, if you let him know that you are dissatisfied with your sister-in-law, he will definitely be angry." ”

They don't have a brother to support them, if they annoy their father again, then do they still have a good life at home?

It will even affect the mother.

"......" mentioned her father, and An Sanni was depressed again.

It is said that motherhood is strong, she is a good mother, her daughters are bullied all day long, she doesn't even dare to fart, and she persuades them to be patient all day long, work more and talk less.

As for the foolish father, An Sanni didn't know what to say.

The mother is his own mother, is the daughter raised? !

actually wronged in order to be filial to a superb mother, and even treated his own flesh and blood harshly.

Such a father, An Sanni only has two words: hehe~

My father and mother are unreliable, but my sister is a good sister, these days, my sister has helped her work a lot, secretly saving food for her to eat.

Thinking of An Erni's kindness to her, An Sanni pursed her mouth, and didn't say anything more, but said angrily, "Got it." ”

An Erni saw that An Sanni was finally persuaded by her, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and told Sanni again, and then took her two younger sisters home.

With this scene, An Sini didn't dare to shout that she was hungry, so she secretly rubbed her stomach and followed her sister into the house with a bitter face.

"Grandma, second aunt, mother, sister-in-law, we're back. ”

As soon as the three sisters entered the door, they saw Wan Damiang, Zhang Guizhi, Fang Xiu'e and An Baoni all sitting in the courtyard.

They hurriedly greeted them honestly.

"Erni, I've picked up so much firewood again, I'm really capable. ”

Zhang Guizhi was very satisfied when he saw the branches on the backs of the three girls, and he didn't forget to praise a few words.

An Erni smiled, didn't say anything, and after greeting the elders, she took her sisters to put the firewood under the eaves of the stove room first.

"Milk, sister-in-law, this is the sour dates we picked, you can taste it. ”

After finishing the work, she went to the wellhead in the courtyard to fetch water to wash her hands and face, and after washing it, An Erni took out a handful of red sour dates from the back basket.

Annie was a little embarrassed to see that Anerni, who was only two months younger than herself, was so capable.

She glanced at her three nieces, and their information came to mind:

An Erni is thirteen years old, the eldest daughter of An Guofu and Fang Xiu'e, with a calm temperament, practical and capable, but unfortunately Zhang Guizhi married an old widower in the next village, gave birth to a son and a daughter, worked as a cow and a horse for her in-laws, and finally died of exhaustion;

An Sanni is twelve years old, more lively than An Erni, or more pungent, and the only one in Sanfang who dares to say "no", but the end is still miserable, Li Fang's idea managed to marry farther away in the mountains, and was killed by her husband's domestic violence;

An Sini was eleven years old, the most honest and cowardly, and was also brainwashed most thoroughly by Fang Xiu'e, feeling that a woman who could not give birth to a son was guilty, and after being married off by Zhang Guizhi, she desperately gave birth to a son, and finally died in childbirth;

There is also a little bean Ding Anwuni who has just fed the chickens in the yard, she is only three years old this year, she is also pitiful, when she was six years old, she went to the river to wash clothes, and was pushed into the river and drowned.

Alas, looking at the black, thin, and obviously malnourished nieces, thinking of their original fate, Anne couldn't help but sigh.

"There are sour dates now?"

Anne pressed the pity in her heart, smiled and took a few dates, ate one, and immediately grinned sourly, "Okay, so sour!"

Mrs. Wan smiled, "You have always disliked eating sour dates, but now you are sour." ”

Anne smiled, and then looked at the Ann Erni sisters, "Although my aunt doesn't like to eat, I have this heart." ”

As she spoke, Anne took out a few white rabbits from her cloth pocket, "You even think about your aunt for a date, and your aunt, who is an elder, can't treat you badly." Come, one for each of you. ”

An Erni was stunned and looked at Anne blankly, as if she had never known her.

In other words, she, the little aunt, is the most protective of food, when did she become so generous?

"No, no,"

Fang Xiu'e hurriedly excused her three daughters, "They should be filial to their elders, how can they eat my sister-in-law's things?"

Fang Xiu'e was afraid that her sister-in-law was on a whim, in case the daughters really ate it, and the sister-in-law regretted it afterwards, it would be troublesome to find them again.

"What my mother said is,"

An Erni reacted and hurriedly said, "This is a rare thing that the uncle specially gave to my aunt, so we won't eat it." ”

An Sanni swallowed a mouthful of spit, this is white rabbit toffee, it is said that seven white rabbits are equal to a glass of milk.

In this era of lack of food and clothing, it is definitely a luxury to be able to eat a white rabbit.

An Sini had never eaten a white rabbit and didn't know what it was, but the second sister refused, and she also shook her head.

At this time, An Wuni, who had finished feeding the chickens, staggered over.

Seeing this, Anne beckoned to her.

An Wuni glanced at her mother and sister, and saw that there was nothing abnormal about them, so she ran to Anne and called sweetly, "Auntie." ”

"Hey, that's good!"

Anne peeled off a white rabbit and stuffed it directly into Ann Wuni's mouth.

When Aunt Wan saw it, she was distressed, but she had already "guessed" her daughter's plan, and she could only let her daughter show grace to the third room-
