After putting the scorpion properly, Zhou Sining stood up straight and looked up at the sky, judging the time.

She doesn't have a watch to watch now, she can only look at the position of the sun and roughly estimate the time.

She estimated that it should be past three o'clock now, and although she still wanted to turn over the rocks on the mountain, she still had to go back to cook early, so she didn't have time today.

When I returned to the place where the wild vegetables were put on my back, I first folded the firewood I picked up today and put it at the bottom of the basket, and then put the wild vegetables in.

After everything was cleaned up, she walked briskly down the hill and headed home.

It seems that catching scorpions and selling them is also a way to make money, but it is definitely ineffective to catch them during the day, and if you want to see the benefits, you have to come and catch them in the evening.

However, if she comes at night, she will definitely not be able to do without lighting tools, so if she wants to earn money by catching scorpions, she needs to prepare a flashlight.

The Zhou family does not have this kind of household appliances, as far as she knows, there is a flashlight in the village chief's house in Xitang Village, so if she wants to use it, she can only save money to buy one.

I don't know how much a flashlight is, whether I want a ticket, that's even harder, and if the purchase price of the scorpion is not high enough, she has to weigh whether she can get back to the cost of buying a flashlight to catch the scorpion.

She was thinking about the gains and losses of interests, and when she saw that she was home, she was blocked by an annoying person.

"Yo, big girl, you are going up the mountain in the afternoon, I will say that our old Zhou family is the most diligent, quick, let the second aunt see what good things she has got?" A tall and thin middle-aged woman walked out from a nearby family and happened to stop Zhou Sining who was passing by.

Zhou Sining doesn't need to look at people, she knows who is coming as soon as she hears the voice, but the frequency of this person's appearance in the past month is a bit high, so she can't know it if she wants to.

The person who came was Zhou Yaosen's younger sister Zhou Juhua, who was also from Xitang Village, and was a relative of the old Zhou family. This mother's house is close, the waist pole is straight, Zhou Juhua is still very shrewd, loves to take advantage of small advantages, and knows that the sister-in-law is a face-loving and brainless, so she is usually very good with Li Rucui.

She also knows Zhou Daya's temperament, so every time her house is short of firewood or wild vegetables, she will stand at the door of the house and wait at this time.

Originally, the eldest girl was introverted, but she didn't want to speak in her mouth, and she often encountered Zhou Juhua, who had a fast mouth, and she would suffer, either most of the firewood was taken away, or a lot of wild vegetables were caught. When she went home and let Li Rucui know, she had to scold and beat her and say that she was useless. Li Rucui didn't think that it was Zhou Juhua's fault that the big girl's things were taken away, but she would think that the big girl was useless and couldn't protect the things. Therefore, the previous eldest girl was sandwiched between this pair of concubines and suffered a lot of wretchedness.

Even after Zhou Sining came through, because she didn't understand the situation, Zhou Juhua was able to succeed a few times, but she still has a fundamental difference between her and the eldest girl, the eldest girl is honest, she doesn't know how to resist, and she is angry and stuffy in her heart. But she didn't want to suffer from the bird's anger, and besides, whether it was firewood or wild vegetables, it was also the income of her labor, and she didn't mention how much was taken before, and now she didn't want to give it, so no one wanted to take a single piece of grass from her.

Seeing that Zhou Juhua's sinful big paw stretched out again, Zhou Sining unceremoniously turned the back basket in a different direction to prevent her from touching it.

"It's the second aunt, the work in the field is done, it's really early for you to go home today. ”

Zhou Juhua is much faster than Li Rucui, and usually works in the field with Zhou Laoer, but her family only has three sons and no daughters, so Zhou Juhua has to do the work at home by herself, and she usually comes back half an hour earlier than Zhou Lao Er to cook.

"How can I finish it, the work in the field is not finished. Zhou Juhua saw that the eldest girl avoided her, and felt a little unhappy, but she has always been a good person, although she was unhappy, but the tone of her mouth was still very kind, "If you don't say that your mother is a blessed person, she gave birth to so many sons, and gave birth to a girl like you, she lacks nothing, she has a son to support the elderly, and you, who are a daughter, to help work, your second aunt and I always envy your family." As she spoke, her hand stretched out again and tried to pull the basket on Zhou Sining's shoulder.

"Quick, the back basket is so heavy, the second aunt will help you put it down and rest for a while, don't tire our eldest girl out. ”

How could Zhou Sining not know her thoughts, of course she couldn't let her touch herself, so she hurriedly took another body test and avoided it, "Second aunt, don't envy my mother, you are a few years younger than my mother, and you are similar to my mother, and if you have a few more with my second uncle, you will definitely be able to give birth to a few younger sisters." She smiled and said piercing words.

Xitang Village is very patriarchal, and it is not a good thing to say that anyone has more daughters.

Sure enough, when Zhou Juhua heard her niece say this, she felt that she was cursing her, and the smile on her face was a little unbearable.

"Look at you, this kid is talking nonsense, I am your second aunt, you are my eldest niece, isn't it just like my own daughter. Okay, don't talk about that, put down the back basket, and let the second aunt see what you dug up the mountain today. She saw that this girl was a little difficult today, and she didn't plan to come to a roundabout tactic, relying on her being an elder and planning to come to the side, she was afraid that people were dodging over, this time she didn't reach out to the back basket, but directly grabbed Zhou Sining's arm.

Zhou Sining didn't expect this second aunt, who was always smiling all over the day, to turn her face when she said that she would turn her face, so she was caught without noticing for a while, "Second aunt, let go of me, it's not early to see that it's not early, I still have to go home to cook, or my mother will come back to see that the meal is not good, and she will definitely have to scold me." She frowned and pulled her arm out, but this small body was really thin, and it was not at all the opponent of Zhou Juhua, who worked in the field all the year round, so it was still a little difficult for her to escape from the clutches for a while.

"Don't say that, I don't know what your mother's temperament is, she scolds you and feels sorry for you, and besides, you are a mother and daughter, why do you still hold a grudge after scolding a few times, this second aunt has to talk to you well. Zhou Juhua saw that the person was caught, and she was secretly proud in her heart, and she dragged the person to her with the force in her hand, and said a few words of unforgiving preaching.

"Hey, second aunt, what are you doing, you scratched me, you let go, I'm going home." Zhou Sining was pulled forward by Zhou Juhua, the flesh on his arm ached, and the anger in his heart rushed to the top of his head.

This is really, if she doesn't exert her power, everyone wants to come up and step on her feet.

"Look at what your kid said, who won't let you go home, the second aunt just looks at what you have in the basket. She said that she was still holding Zhou Sining's arm with one hand to control her from moving, and with the other hand to drag the big back basket behind her, seeing that there were fresh wild vegetables in it, her face was full of smiles, "Yo, this wild vegetable is so tender today!"

Zhou Sining wanted to roll her eyes, of course she was digging wild vegetables and picking up tender ones.

"Big girl, you also know that the second aunt has a lot of work at home, and she can't be busy, and she usually can't even eat a wild vegetable, you are a good boy, you must not bear to watch the second aunt and your second uncle can't even eat wild vegetables, right, I see that you have a lot of wild vegetables in the back basket, and the second aunt doesn't have too much, just give the second aunt a handful, just enough to eat one meal." ”
