There was a tense atmosphere in the room, because no one knew what it would be better to put the money there. I suddenly had an idea: "Mother, why don't we put the money in the rat hole like this?" Li Shi's eyes lit up after listening to my suggestion, "Okay, this method is good, after all, no one can be idle and turn over the mouse hole." Then he quickly looked for a mouse hole, and at last found a mouse hole in the corner, and quickly prepared a small jar, wrapped the silver in cloth, and put it into the jar, and then hurried into the depths of the hole, and was afraid that others would see it, and moved the cabinet to the side to cover it. After all, the oil lamp has been lit all the time, and it will be very suspicious, all of them are poor, and no one can waste lighting the oil lamp.

We got up early the next morning, and my mother and brother both looked a little better, after all, we had money and confidence. My mother and I went to prepare breakfast, while my brother went in early in the morning to herd the cows and feed the chickens, and our family was busy while everyone in the family was still sleeping. After the meal was ready, everyone began to get up and prepare for dinner, and my brother came back to prepare for dinner after a while.

The old man said that everyone immediately started to eat, and after eating, as usual, my mother washed the dishes, and I went with me to help, and my brother went to school. The old man, the uncle and the uncle went to the field to weed, while the aunt went to the river to wash clothes, and the little aunt went back to her mother's house. The house is quiet, which makes it more convenient for me to pick herbs and sell them for money.

I walked towards the mountain, hurriedly looking for herbs in the mountain, and soon I finished picking this herb, and in order to find more herbs, I went to the mountain.

I was so engrossed in picking herbs that I didn't realize that I was already in the deepest part of the mountain. When I looked up and saw the faint smoke, I realized the problem, the hot spring! It's a hot spring, in order to verify that it's really a hot spring, I put my hand into the water, and my fingers came to the warm touch, I immediately took off my clothes and prepared to take a bath, no way since I came these days, I haven't taken a bath, and my body has long been itchy and unbearable. Wang didn't let people take a bath at all, because she was afraid of wasting wood, and she didn't want to think about who picked it up. Soaking in the hot springs, I realized what comfort is, as if I was in heaven. I washed my body vigorously, and sure enough, a lot of ash came out, and I didn't dare to wash my hair, for fear of going back and being seen by others. After coming over for a while, I felt my head dizzy, and I reluctantly came out of the hot spring. After getting dressed, I looked around for a moment, quickly remembering this location, and next time I will come here to take a shower.

Because of the proximity to the heat source, I found a lot of ripe Chinese herbs, and I hurriedly picked them. Soon the basket was full, and I walked in the direction of the city with the Chinese herbs on my back. Because I was here last time, the shopkeeper knew me, and he quickly weighed the Chinese herbal medicine and settled the money with me. Dr. Song went to the clinic and didn't see him. Because there are no valuable medicinal materials this time, the money this time is a bit small, only two hundred Wen.

When I got back to the mountain, I quickly cut a lot of pigweed and stored it for next time. When I got home, the sun had completely set, and I knew that my mother must be cooking, so I hurried over to help light the fire, and said to my mother, "Mother, today I went to pick herbs again, and sold them for a full two hundred wen." When my mother heard my words, she hurriedly stopped me and said, "Don't say it now, let's talk about it at night, otherwise it will be heard by others." "As soon as I heard my mother say this, I quickly shut up, afraid that others would hear it. Then I lit the fire for my mother with peace of mind, and soon the meal was ready, and after dinner, I couldn't wait to pull my mother and brother into the room. After coming in, I quickly closed the door, and I was relieved to use my mental ability to probe well, and I was relieved to find that there was no movement.

I poured the money on the bed, and it rattled. Sure enough, my brother and mother couldn't turn their eyes when they saw so much money. I hurriedly said, "Mother, don't hurry up and put the money in the jar." When my mother heard my words, she quickly reacted, "Yes, yes, you have to hide the money quickly." After saying that, he picked up the money one by one, moved the cabinet, and hurriedly put it in the jar, and moved the cabinet again, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Now, I'll use the money to buy you some clothes in a few days, your clothes are years old. The mother said happily, "When the time comes, my father and mother will also be in one place, and our whole family will wear beautiful clothes." "My mother was very happy when she heard me.

After solving the problem, my mother and brother and I hurriedly prepared to wash and sleep, and there are still many things to do tomorrow. Gradually, half a month passed, I went to sell herbs every day, and my family's savings became five taels of silver. Soon, when the time for farming came, even Lin Hong came out of the room and began to help with things. Because cows and pigs still have to eat grass, I have to continue to grass. When I carried the grass home, I found that it was not my mother who was cooking today, but my aunt and Lin Hong were doing it, too, after all, cooking is much easier than doing farm work. Seeing me come back, Lin Hong said proudly, "You go and bring water to the ground." With that, he threw me a teapot. I hurriedly filled a pot of water and walked to the ground, not because I was afraid of Lin Hong, but because I was afraid that Lin Hong would send water to the whole moth, after all, my mother was still thirsty.

According to Lin Xiuxiu's memory, I found a large family doing farm work, my grandfather was plowing the land with oxen, and my uncle was responsible for breaking up the larger soil; The mother and uncle are responsible for digging the pit; The little aunt is responsible for throwing soybean seeds; And grandma is in charge of filling the pits. The division of labor is clear, that is, the quality is too poor, my mother and grandparents are working, and everyone else is lazy. Grandpa saw that I was delivering water, but there was no reaction, so he took the water and began to beckon everyone to drink. Finally, after everyone drank the water, when I was about to take the pot away, my grandfather said, "Xiuxiu, you go back and quickly ask your aunt to cook, live a heavy life today, do more." ”

I replied that I knew, and hurried home. As soon as I entered, I couldn't help laughing, no wonder my grandfather asked me to tell my aunt to cook, she was completely unconscious, and she was still sleeping. I quickly knocked on the door and said, "Auntie, hurry up, my grandfather has asked you to cook." ”

After speaking, I heard the scolding voice, "Got it", and the eldest aunt finally got up, "Come and light the fire for me!" After saying that, I entered the kitchen, and I hurried over, in fact, I didn't want to help, at first if I didn't help, it would take a long time to eat, so I had to resign myself to the fire.
