Volume 1 Chapter 36 Returning the Family

As soon as Qin Mo lowered his head, he saw Xiangxiang's shiny little eyes that seemed to be longing, there was longing, moving, and caution in them.

Qin Mo shook his head with a smile and touched the little girl's high forehead, people say that people with full foreheads are blessed, but they don't know that this little girl has this full forehead, born in such a poor family, if she doesn't cross over, I really don't know where this saying comes from.

Okay, Xiangxiang is very well-behaved today, now that you're done with firewood, you go find someone to play-!

Qin Mo smiled, while shaking the dirty and unseemly numb clothes on his body twice, knowing that children like to play, and he shook the firewood scum on his body twice, and was about to cook dinner again, but he sent this little thing out first, she didn't hope that she would help her in the kitchen, this place is small, and the two of them are going around, but it will cause her trouble, and it will hinder her from being able to use it.

Hey, yes. Xiangxiang goes out to play!

This summer breeze was in the evening, with a hint of coolness in the heat, a leisurely coolness, just crossed over, Qin Mo didn't know what calendar they used, but gradually felt that it was almost the end of summer.

The people on the field, the farmer, are all wearing cloth clothes made of large pieces of fabric, but the trousers are very empty, some resist the hoe, some carry the nail rake, do a day's farm work, at this moment when the sun has gone down, lazily carry the farming tools to dig the field back to their homes.

In Chishui Village, more than a dozen families are cooking dinner with smoke curling from their rooftops.

Xiangxiang-! Xiangxiang naturally went to play with a few children who were about the same age as her at the end of the village, but Qin Mo turned his head and immediately stopped Xiangxiang after she clapped her little hands and happily stepped on the wet soil and ran for more than a dozen steps.

Xiangxiang's figure paused, then stopped, then turned his head again, and looked at Qin Mo puzzled, his two big eyes flickering, like fluttering butterfly wings.

You give this, go to pick up firewood in the afternoon, and return the small back basket borrowed from Aunt Li's second aunt to Jinqing, and in addition-!

Qin Mo entered the house and took out a melon scoop, which was half a scoop of crushed rice.

Qin Mo carried the small back basket, and Xiangxiang came to him by herself, and Qin Mo gave her the small back basket, and handed her the melon scoop by the way

This is the last time we ate Wowotou to find today's mother, that is, the two handfuls of cornmeal borrowed by Aunt Li's second aunt, and now we have it ourselves, and this rice will be used to return it to her, just like she was borrowed by us last time!

Qin Mo and Xiangxiang carefully advised, and added a sentence later, do you understand-!

Xiangxiang buried her head and looked at the melon scoop in Qin Mo's hand, and nodded obediently.

Let's go!

Qin Mo gave Xiangxiang the small back basket on her back, and handed the melon scoop in her hand to make it firm, and then called with confidence.

Xiangxiang hugged the melon scoop, and after nodding, carefully protected the fine rice inside, carrying the small basket on her back before listening to Qin Mo's words.

In fact, Qin Mo had planned this broken rice a long time ago, and he had already said that he would return it, so naturally it was better to pay it back.

It's just that directly returning half a scoop of rice in the past has aroused the suspicion of this Li Er's aunt, such a broken household in these years, other people's families can't afford to eat, this Qin family is good, but now they have taken out rice.

Isn't that jealousy and hatred?

So just in case, Qin Mo went to the stone mill at the entrance of the village, and asked the people at the entrance of the village to drive the cow around a few times, grind down the broken rice, and then go to return the Luo Li family, the maiden name of the second aunt of Li is Luo. This reduces suspicion.

Sure enough, Qin Mo didn't go to return it himself, and he didn't know about some small situations that happened when he returned it.

Xiangxiang walked through the back eaves, called twice, Luo Li did needlework at home, the more than one-year-old son was still crawling on the dirt at his feet, Luo Li heard Xiangxiang's shout, there are doors on both sides of the front and back of the main hall, it is open, Luo Li glanced at this side and saw that Xiangxiang's small eyelids were too lazy to raise, and he knew that he must have borrowed something from their house to pay it back.

Regardless of whether she is at home or not, Jinqing always borrows them from her, what a small back basket, knives, torches on the mountain, but every time Jinqing borrows Luo Li's family even if she is next to her, she is too lazy to stop it, such a poor family, there is nothing, just two empty babies, why should she be so vicious.

Second aunt. Second aunt...

Xiangxiang was still outside and shouting with her neck stretched.

This Luo Li clan had already heard it, but he just lowered his head and continued to do his own needlework

Alright, let's put the basket in the hut in the back.

Luo Li knew what was going on at a glance, and said coldly without raising his head.

Yes!

Xiang Xiang received the response from inside, and finally dared to step up the steps of the house.

The little girl responded very obediently, and then carried the small back basket to the small room seriously, crossed the high threshold with her lower legs, pushed open the half-open wooden door, and squeaked the wooden door open, only to put down the small back basket that was more than half her body long.

The strap of the small back basket pulled the numb clothes on the shoulders a little loose, although the empty small back basket was not heavy, it was still a bit difficult for Xiangxiang.

It's completely easy to put it down now.

Second aunt, second aunt, my sister asked me to bring it over to the second aunt and return it to the second aunt.

took a break, because of the hard action just now, the little girl was still a little gasping in her breath, and obediently put the melon scoop and the rice that was a little heavy in it around her waist.

There are two lines of snot, which are put in with a hula on this side and come out again there.

Xiao Xiangxiang still worked hard to send the melon scoop to Luo Li's face.

Still?! What else?!

This Luo Li was originally doing the needlework in his hand, but when he heard Xiangxiang say this, he was a little confused, took the thread in his hand, and then looked up at Xiangxiang's melon scoop and saw that it was half a scoop of broken rice.

This thing isn't a good thing for anyone right now...

Where did the two sisters get this thing?

They can give away half a scoop of broken rice, so how much do they still have?

When Luo Li saw the half scoop of rice, the more he thought about it, the more surprised he became, and the more he thought about it, the more incredible he felt.

Just these two thin and short sisters, there are no adults in the family, and there is no one to help them, how could they take so many rice out for no reason.

At the beginning, there was no boiling water for the poor wild vegetables in the house.

Surprised is surprised, seeing this half scoop of white rice, needless to say, Luo Li's heart is still moved.

Xiangxiang said just now, she still can't remember when she lent it out, and then she remembered that it should be the two handfuls of rice bran mixed corn noodles that she lent to their sisters some time ago.

At that time, they said that it was okay, but Luo Li didn't pay attention to it at all.

Two poor people who are going to die, Luo Li has always only felt that 'yet' is just talking, they have also borrowed it before, saying that they have not been able to replace it once, Luo Li also knows that he just wants to eat, and when he is serious about paying it back, he is so poor that he can afford it, so every time he gives it, he is full of contempt. I can't afford to change it and always want to eat,

It's just that Luo Li is a person who can collect it, and some words are bitter and don't say it, where can I think about it one day.

And, instead of rice bran and cornmeal, it's white rice, fine white rice!
