It was already very hot in the afternoon of June, and the Zhili on the tree sang a monotonous and non-stop song all the way, proclaiming its existence in this world, and the grass on the side of the road was swirling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The brother and sister walked in the fields one after the other, looking for pigweed, every household in the village raised pigs, and the half-grown children in the family had to come out to hunt pigweed, so the pigweed was not very easy to find, but the place where it was not found was a big clump.

On the ridge of the vegetable field, next to the small ditch, the pigweed is particularly fat, Dong Ping'an pulls the pigweed, while holding a basket, with him, Ruyi always saves a lot of effort.

"Brother, why do you say grandma doesn't like our big house? See how good it is for your uncle. ”

Ping An looked at his sister and sighed. "I used to hear my aunt mention it when she was chatting with her mother, it seems that my grandmother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to her father, and she hurt for a day and a night, and almost died in two corpses, and then she didn't wait to see her father."

The eldest aunt is a member of the same clan, and the deceased elder brother of the old man Dong took a lot of care of their big family.

"Is it Sister Fangzi? What else did she say. ”

Ruyi asked while pulling the grass.

"The rest, uh, nothing else. But my grandfather was kind to our family, but unfortunately he was gone. Ping An looked into the distance with a nostalgic expression.

Most of the afternoon passed, and the two of them had more than one basket of pig vegetables, and the other basket was still more than half short, and they were a little anxious. It's hard to find the neighborhood anymore, so if you have to find it elsewhere, the afternoon will pass.

Ping'an carried the basket and said to Ruyi, "Let's go, go to the river to find it." ”

Ruyi felt good when he heard it, and he went to the river on the way home, "Brother, there is pigweed by the river?" I think there is a lot of grass, and pigs also eat grass? ”

"There are aquatic plants in the river, but it's not safe for you to go into the water, so I'm not on your side."

Walking to the river, Ruyi watched the eldest brother put down his burden, poured out the basket with less pigweed, and the pigweed inside it was on the ground and covered it with branches.

Then he walked along the river with an empty basket, looking at the river as he went, pointing out where Ruyi had more water and plants, and where the water was panting and gentle.

When he saw a place where the water level was low and the river was gentle, he put down the basket, and Ruyi saw that the entire river was green, and the aquatic plants in it were swaying with the current.

Dong Ping'an pulled up his trouser leg and went down to the river, scooping up a large handful of dark green aquatic plants, a bit like seaweed growing in the water, and a bit like grass.

Ruyi saw that Xinqi was about to go into the water, but her brother hurriedly stopped, "This water is quite deep, it's too unsafe for you, you better wash it on the shore." ”

"Brother, there are a lot of aquatic plants in this river, so we can fish for a while."

"Yes, it's a pity that it's not easy to fish in the river."

Ruyi watched the eldest brother bend his arms, rolling them alternately, and then as soon as he exerted his strength, his hands were rolled up. A method came to mind.

"Brother, you said that if you take a stick, turn it around the aquatic plants in the distance like a few times with your hands, and then pull it hard, can you also scoop it up?"

After hearing this, Ping An pinched a branch on the bank of the river and tried it in the water. The branches are soft, and there is not much left on them when they are lifted.

"Okay, the next time we come out, we'll bring a heavier stick, and we'll be able to withstand the force. Yi'er is too smart. "Ping An is very happy, and his sister is great.

Ruyi pursed his lips and smiled, this brother who was only thirteen years old had borne the burden of the family prematurely, and he was very sensible, and now he laughed like a teenager.

The speed of fishing for aquatic plants in the river was very fast, and the two of them soon got a large basket.

Dong Ping'an, who was about to go back, noticed that a lot of calluses were bulging by the river, "Yi'er, go, a lot of calluses are ripe, let's pick some and go home." ”

Ruyi was pleasantly surprised, the fried pork slices were delicious, "Brother, is this our family?" People will not say. ”

Dong Ping'an looked at his sister's joy, and said happily, "This is common to the whole village, and anyone who wants to eat it can pick it." ”

He pointed to some of the white coats and said, "You see, these are the traces that others have taken... Well, here's one of them, and you can come down with a single pull."

Ruyi took the white and fat white in his hand, looking at the endless river, how many white water are in this water? How many people's tables have been enriched? Sure enough, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft the water, the earth is thick, and the water and soil on one side have raised the people on the other.

As the sun set, the two of them returned with a full load, and Dong Ping'an picked up a heavy pigweed, which was enough for two days. Ruyi hugged a big bundle of cocoons.

And the Dong family was also crying at this time, and the brother and sister hurriedly stepped forward and saw Pingkang and Pingshun who were wet.

I found out that it was too hot this day, and the two little guys wanted to go out to play in the water, and Pingshun didn't want to go out because of the panic outside, so Pingkang aimed at the water tank at home.

The water tank is not big, it is not small, it is just the height of the little guy.

The two little guys lay on the cylinder and watched for a long time, and finally thought of a way, not Sima Guang smashed the cylinder, but moved a stool and climbed in.

Fortunately, the water in the water tank has been used for cooking and washing vegetables for most of the day, and half of it has been gone. The two little ones were so unhappy in it that they lay down and fell asleep.

The whole family didn't find out, and they didn't see it until they came to the kitchen to cook, so they beat and scolded, so it was not lively.

Looking at the two little guys who were scared like little quails, Ruyi smiled, who didn't do a few naughty things in their childhood.

When cooking at night, a few handfuls were baked and turned a lot whiter, Liu looked at the head of the house with his daughter roasting and sweating, and scolded a few words, "Such a big person, he still looks like a child."

Then he drove his daughter to take a bath, Ruyi took a bath with boiling hot water, and helped Pingkang wash, this leather monkey is at home every day except for the time to eat and sleep, usually don't know which corner of the village to go crazy, every day when he comes home like rolling in the dirt.

After dinner, Ruyi returned to the room to rest, there are four wings in the east house, one for parents and one for two brothers, and she lived alone after the eldest sister got married. One is a utility room.

The room was very simple, a wooden bed, straw underneath, and the mat made of reeds had turned black, and it looked like it was some years old, and the corners were still a little broken; The thin quilt on top is also a patch set, and the cotton wool inside has been clumped, and it is the body.

To the right of the bed was a wooden box with her clothes in it, and a pile of miscellaneous items in the corner.

There was only one lamp in the house, and Liu took the lamp to send her to the room, and when he saw her lying in the bed, he closed the door and returned to his room.

She hadn't yet adapted to the life of sunrise and sunset, and she had to think about it in bed for a while every night.

Some people say that people who can still think cranky while lying in bed are generally readers, and they have nothing to think about too much all day, so they can't sleep, listening to the noise of Pingkang next door to the silence now, she thinks maybe it's right.

Ruyi, who was about to fall asleep, heard a chirping sound again, so that she heard the sound of almost midnight terror for the first time, and thought that a thief had entered the house in the middle of the night and screamed, her mother hurriedly put on her shoes and ran over, and after a reassuring meal, she realized that it was the sound of a mouse.
