Chapter 7 Follow up the mountain
The two of them cautiously entered the cave and returned to their plank beds to lie down, and the people inside did not notice in the slightest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After eating, his stomach was much more comfortable, and Liu Qingxi also recovered a little, and after being tired for a day and bleeding so much, he soon fell asleep.
The next day, when Liu Qingxi was still immersed in a sweet dream, he was woken up by a noise: "Get up, don't play dead for me, get up and work quickly!"
It is the unique voice of the eldest aunt Wang, and it is also the order that Liu Qingyan is most afraid of.
The two sisters and brothers got up resignedly and listened to Wang's instructions: "Today you two will go up the mountain with me to find food, if you don't go to today's meal, you don't have to eat, the old lady will not support you in vain." ”
"Yes, auntie, let's go with you!" Liu Qingxi helped Liu Qingyan pack up, carried a bamboo basket and followed the Liu family's army out.
Fortunately, I had the mat last night, and I rested all night, and my spirit was much better at this time, if not, such a big basket would be enough to carry on my back.
Anyway, along the way, Wang's nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not all kinds of pickiness of eyes, and Liu Qingxi's sister and brother endured it silently.
Even the two younger brothers, Liu Laosi and Liu Laowu, were nagged by the Wang family, anyway, all kinds of idle meals, if there is no son, she will have to let her son raise Yunyun when the time comes.
In short, everyone must work hard to find food, otherwise she holds the power of the family, and whoever is not allowed to eat will not be able to eat.
Liu Lao Si and Liu Lao Wu looked like honest people, the eldest sister-in-law was like a mother, they didn't dare to resist, and the daughters-in-law of the two of them also looked cowardly.
Let Liu Qingxi realize that in this family, only the big house and the second room have a part to speak, and everyone else must obey the command, even Liu Tian and the Qin family have to give the Wang family face.
Coupled with the shocking scene of waking up yesterday, Liu Qingxi's cognition was enhanced, and their two sisters and brothers had the most no status at home, and their lives were also the most difficult.
No, she must rely on herself to change her current life, she doesn't want to be oppressed for the rest of her life, and her younger brother is so young, she should have a better future.
But the top priority is to understand this family, understand this era, first stand firm, and then think about others, and not be too eager for quick success.
After thinking for a while, the big guy came to a small road, and from a distance, the path was winding and endless.
All kinds of weeds on the side of the road were very lush, and the Liu family did not stop walking up for a moment.
Because everyone knows that everything that can be eaten below has been picked by the villagers, and only above can there be something missing, and their purpose is to be halfway up the mountain.
The path is potholed, overgrown with weeds, and it is very difficult to walk, and after a while, Liu Qingxi and Liu Qingyan have no strength, they didn't eat in the morning, they ate that bit at one o'clock yesterday, and they have already digested it.
But Wang couldn't stand it anymore: "You two hurry up, it's really expensive, you can't do a job, you can't walk before you arrive?" Hurry up, hurry up, don't eat today if you drag your hind legs!"
When Liu Qingxi heard this, she pulled Liu Qingyan to grit her teeth and keep up with the team, with a burst of chest tightness and shortness of breath, she knew that she was walking too fast.
But in order not to be scolded by the Wang family, he could only insist on going up.
Suddenly, Liu Qingxi felt a lightness on her back, and when she looked up, it turned out that a swarthy man helped her pick up the basket on her back, and she knew that this man was Liu Laosi.
didn't expect that the taciturn man would actually come out to help, Liu Qingxi was grateful, but he didn't say much, the Wang family was a cannon battle, and he was only happy when he saw the two sisters and brothers miserable.
She didn't dare to provoke her at this time, and smiled at Liu Laosi to express her gratitude.
Liu Lao Si didn't say anything, in this family, he and Liu Lao Wu are like invisible people, they never stingy with their work, and they never fight or grab, Liu Lao Wu may have no confidence because he has no son, but Liu Qingxi can't understand the reason why he doesn't resist.
If you don't understand it, you won't waste this brain cell.
Fortunately, the Wang family didn't look behind again, maybe they were tired of yelling at the sister and brother.
It took about half an hour for them to reach the halfway point of the mountain, when it was just dawn, and at a glance, the village at the foot of the mountain was far away from them.
And everyone has experience, don't talk much, just carry their own back baskets, spread out to find food, edible wild vegetables, wild fruits, no one dislikes put into the back basket.
Compared to the villagers who have fields, this is the source of food for the Liu family, and everyone is trying their best to find it.
Liu Qingxi thought that there were a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain, but she was wrong.
She didn't realize that in this poor era, wild vegetables were good things in the eyes of the people, and they could dig up them without money as long as they were willing to exert their efforts, and almost all the weeds that could be picked on the mountains were picked.
Fortunately, when he was a child, he lived in the countryside, and Liu Qingxi knew some wild vegetables that could be eaten. led Liu Qingyan in another direction.
After many years of weeds precipitation, the rugged mountain road is really difficult to walk, and after learning to prevent snakes and other animals, Liu Qingxi took a wooden stick and beat it before he could continue to move forward.
During this period, the Liu family met many villagers, and it was not the season for farming, and they also had to go up the mountain to find food and save food.
Anyway, the villagers of Shilipu took them in, and the Liu family was grateful and polite to every villager.
The Wang family, who has always been arrogant, is the same, the family is spicy, and outsiders don't dare at all, she is afraid of that kind of displaced life, if the villagers of Shilipu drive them away, the family will have no way to live. She kept greeting the villagers with a smiling face.
At this time, Liu Qingxi was very emotional, the Wang family is not a fool, but too unreasonable.
"Xiao Yan, dig up that one by one, that one can be eaten!" Liu Qingxi was busy with his own work, while teaching Liu Qingyan, although he was thin, but Liu Qingyan, who was already seven years old, worked well.
"Okay, sister, you see, I dug a lot!" Liu Qingyan was very proud, no one had taken him before, and he didn't know which one he could and which one he couldn't, so he was always disliked.
He admired the delicious food that Liu Qingxi brought last night, as long as his sister said it, he believed it!
The further up he went, the more wild vegetables and fruits he saw, Liu Qingxi didn't let go of any of them, and gradually, the sun got higher and higher, until it hung on the top of his head.
At this time, the two sisters and brothers were tired and sweating, and the distance between them and the Liu family was getting farther and farther away, and they could no longer see a trace: "Sister, when are we going home?"
After all, he was young, Liu Qingyan couldn't help it, holding his mouth and looking like he wanted to cry.
"Don't worry, don't worry, they haven't told us to go back yet, wait a while!"
But this time, it was more than half an hour, and there was still no movement around, and Liu Qingxi was a little flustered.
It's afternoon, why don't you go home yet?
