At the bottom of the cliff, Guo Qu lay on the hay, his head resting on his hands, enjoying the cool breeze on the mountain.

Xiaojing sat quietly on the side, listening to the sound of cicadas in the mountains and forests, looking back at Guo from time to time, and seeing that he was still sleeping, she turned her head with confidence and continued to listen.

The leaves outside the cliff, because of the sun's exposure, seem a little sluggish, the mountain breeze between the cliffs, blowing people very comfortable, unconsciously, Guo went to sleep.

Recently, I have been so tired that I have almost walked all over the mountains, so as soon as I am free, drowsiness will inevitably come.

At this time, it is the hottest time of the day, and it is naturally the time for breakfast.

The girl finally felt hungry, and when she was at home before, she ate a sweet potato, and it was surprising that she could support it until now.

At this time, she turned her head to look at Guo Qu, and saw that Guo Qu was still sleeping, she got up and walked over, took Guo Qu's hand and shook it, "Guo Guo, I'm hungry." ”

When the girl saw that Guo Qu ignored him, she changed her standing to sitting, took Guo Qu's hand, shook it and shook it, and said it again and again.

But the whining sound of the wind blowing on the branches in the mountains overshadowed the girl's voice, coupled with the exhaustion of his body, Guo Qu didn't hear it at all.

The girl called again, Guo Qu was in a daze at this time, turned over, and continued to sleep.

Then, Xiaojing called again, and when she saw that her brother ignored her, she couldn't help but be aggrieved on the spot, and she cried out with a wow.

The girl was very sensitive, and she didn't respond to him many times, so she naturally felt scared in her heart, so her crying became louder and louder, and her tears were like the water of the Yellow River bursting its banks, gushing endlessly.

As soon as the girl cried, now, Guo Qu didn't sleep anymore, she was so frightened that she hurriedly stood up, thinking that something was wrong, and held the girl to check, and saw that she was not injured, so she was relieved.

"What's wrong with Xiaojing? Who bullied you? Tell my brother and I'll help you clean him up!"

"Woo~"

The girl is crying sadly, where can he comfort him with a word?

Helpless, Guo Qu had no choice but to pick up the girl, walk around under the cliff, and gently pat the girl's back as he walked.

In this way, after two or three minutes, the girl finally stopped crying, and then Guo Qucai spoke again, "What's wrong with Xiaojing?"

"When people are hungry, my brother ignores them. ”

The girl said and talked, the more she talked, the more aggrieved she became, and seeing that the tears were about to break the embankment again, Guo Qu hurriedly put the girl down and said, "Brother, go get you sweet potatoes." ”

Sweet potatoes are fed to the pigs at home in the morning, and when the pig rice is cooked, it is burned over a charcoal fire. It's leftover from this morning, just in time to feed your hunger.

The girl took the sweet potato, and her eyes were full of tears, and she smiled again in an instant, she divided the sweet potato in half and handed it to Guo.

Seeing this, Guo Qu laughed, scratched her nose, took the sweet potato, and ate it.

After eating, he said a little jokingly, "Xiaojing girl is so stingy and loves to cry." ”

The girl ate slowly, so she was still eating at this time, and after hearing Guo Qu's words, she was still eating sweet potatoes in her mouth, but at the same time she made a "um" sound (the third sound) to express her dissatisfaction with Guo Qu.

The third "um" is semi-dialectal, and the meaning is very clear, that is, to express dissatisfaction or disagreement.

……

To be honest, I was very hungry after eating sweet potatoes, and I was able to eat enough at the time, but it didn't take long for me to feel hungry.

Fortunately, their grandfather has gone back, and when his grandfather has eaten, he will definitely bring them food.

In those days, most of the rural people were doing farm work, and if there was not enough land, they would choose to open up new land on the other side of the ridge, and then run to plant every day.

But these newly opened up lands are barren, and with the tall trees around them (of course, one or two meters is considered a tall tree for crops), and the altitude, even if the crops are planted, the harvest will not be very high.

However, it is better to have something than nothing, so the land is still being planted, but the harvest is low.

In the countryside, we can't talk about efficiency in terms of harvest, and everyone adheres to the mentality of "it's better than nothing", so every year we are tired and tired, and in the end, a lot of land is in the mountains, but there is not much harvest.

After eating again, Guo went to take the girl to the hillside slowly, looking at the place where the clamp was placed in the ravine from a distance, and still saw the wild boar.

He was not disappointed, in the past two months, he had to run up the mountain every day, and his mentality had already been tempered.

What's more, if the wild things are easy to clip, then it is estimated that the whole village is a hunter, and there will be nothing to do.

Returning to the bottom of the cliff under the scorching sun again, he happened to meet the old man delivering food, and the old man asked "How is the situation", Guo Qu just shook his head.

The old man didn't say anything, handed over the food and chopsticks to Guo, and then went to the ridge with his back pocket, he was going to chop a back of firewood and carry it back when he went back later.

After eating the food in the bowl, after eating quickly, I went to the ditch not far away to get a bowl of water to drink, and then after washing the bowl, I scooped another bowl for the girl.

This place is not far from the bottom of the cliff, and the girl sat under the cliff to eat, and she happened to see Guo Qu, so Guo Qu didn't take her with her.

"Pots and pots, people want to drink water~" When the girl saw Guo go back, she put down her chopsticks and bowl, and there were three or five grains of rice and oil at the corner of her mouth.

Guo went to put the water on the ground, picked up the sea bowl, and put the rice from the corner of the girl's mouth into the bowl with chopsticks, and then handed the water to her.

When she had drunk enough, and then finished eating, he took the girl to the ditch, took out a towel, wiped her mouth, washed her face, the girl was still too small, although she sat and didn't speak, she was always curious about everything, so her hands were easy to get dirty, and when her hands were dirty, her natural face was flowered, and she was completely stained with mud and dust.

After washing her face, perhaps because she had just eaten, the girl looked very lively.

She always likes to reach out and pick the leaves she can get, and then take them to the bottom of the cliff, like other children in the village, and put some dry soil in each leaf with a serious face, as "rice", and learn how to cook for adults.

"Pot, eat~"

With a smile on her face, the girl handed the leaves full of dirt to Guo, and then said.

Guo went to take the soil, pretended to eat a few bites, and hurriedly poured the soil while the girl was not paying attention, but the girl still saw it.

She pouted, walked over, and looked at Guo Qu with an unhappy face, "Grandpa said, no matter how much rice you have, you are allowed to eat it and not spill it!"

This sentence is the mantra of the old man, and it often lingers in the ears of the two, so the girl remembers it very clearly.

"Oh, that'...... It's my brother who is wrong. ”

"Then don't lose it again next time, I'll get it for you." ”

After that, the girl went to get the leaves with the dirt again.

Seeing this, Guo went to stop him in a hurry, for fear that the girl would let him eat soil later.

"Isn't it delicious?" The girl stood in front of Guo Qu, looking at Guo Qu with still innocent eyes, waiting for Guo Qu to answer.

"It's delicious! But my brother is so full that he can't eat anymore. ”

"Then, will that person go back and cook for the pot again?"

“……”

gi～～～

The sound of a wild boar resounded in the sky, startling Guo Qu, and the girl hurriedly pulled Guo Qu's sleeve and looked at the place where the sound of the wild boar came from in fear.

Guo Qu's heart was agitated, listening to the sound, it was a place in the ravine, it was very likely that the wild boar picked the clip, and it was in pain, so it called out!
