Chapter 13: Into the City II
The millet filled the empty space with a bottle of hot water, and the barley sent the millet to Aunt Yang again. The three children were ready to go to the grass with their tools.
"This time, the three sisters brought a piece of Bobo, and they plan to be hungry, so they will share some food, and they won't come back at noon, so that they can check more firewood and come back."
Guzi said that he wanted to go to Jingmei Mountain, because most of the ravines on the side had no firewood, except for Jingmei Mountain, because the road was far away and the mountains were steep, basically no one went, and there must be a lot of firewood there.
The three little ones took their tools and headed for the mountain. Sure enough, as my sister said, it looks pretty close from a distance, but it's not so comfortable to walk.
This time the barley was reborn for the first time out of the tunzi, for the previous childhood memory is not very clear, but know that there is a north-south longitudinal canal below the lake in the south, the end of the canal is a big river, and finally they this river converged together and flowed to the unknown distance, the middle and northeast of the two rivers are the woods of their brigade, very large, through the big river, is the boundary of the other brigade. After passing through the Qinglongtun where they lived, they soon came to the foot of the mountain, where there were also a few sparsely populated families.
The sisters walked up the hillside, the mountain was very high, and there were several hundred meters of it, but in order to be able to carry more firewood, none of the children were tired.
Halfway up the hill they found several chestnut trees, which had fallen to the ground and peeled off with a single step on them. The three sisters suddenly had a small face, as if they had picked up a gold ingot.
"Chestnut, this delicious we will pick it up" as soon as the millet spoke, everyone began to search around, this mountain is relatively large, few people come, so there is no decent road with the original, the children are stepping on the stones and wild grass in the low head and slowly searching, but what makes their sisters happy is that each of them can pick up a pear bag bottom, if it adds up, how can there be more than half a basket.
There is a pine tree on the side of the chestnut tree, and there are a lot of pine trees below, there are pine seeds in this building that can be eaten, and the pine seeds outside can burn the fire, and they are very good to burn, and they are also resistant to burning.
Qingli was not idle while picking up Songlou's eyes, and his eyes kept going around.
Suddenly, I saw the grass not far away, always moving around. This made her cautious cat slowly rub over, thinking that it was a rabbit, but she didn't expect that there was a big pheasant in the grass.
When the barley saw it, he immediately became silently happy, and compared to the millet and the wheat, and the two sisters immediately understood, and neither of them made a sound and began to surround the pheasant, and the barley still held a basket in his hand, but even if he was careful, the pheasant still found the movement, flapped his wings and was about to run out.
When I was about to run, I found that there were people on three sides
The pheasant was timid, and immediately began to flutter its wings and want to fly from the air, the barley was quick-eyed, and the basket in his hand was thrown out, which happened to hit the pheasant's body, and the pheasant, which lost its balance, fell to the ground again, and the millet and wheat were also fast, and the two immediately pounced on the pheasant.
"I've caught, I've caught," Maizi cried out excitedly, and catching the chickens meant they could have a meal of meat.
The sisters excitedly tied the legs and wings of the pheasant, and with this chicken, they were not worth the trip this time.
"Sister, let's look around to find something to come out, let's put these things aside first, everyone don't go far," Qing Barley said on the side.
"Okay, let's take a look, we've gone so far, we can get a little more." Millet Road
The eldest spoke, and the three children began to scatter around, and as he walked, he was attracted by a few thorny trees not far away, and although it was winter, there were still many red fruits hanging on the trees......
"Sister, Maizi, come on, I've found something good" Qing Barley's voice immediately summoned the two sisters in the distance.
"What a good thing, let me see" Maizi was full of curiosity about the second sister's good things.
"Sister, what do you think this is?".
"Dates, it's actually dates, there are still on the tree, there must be a lot on the ground, let's pick the good ones and pick them up quickly" Maizi's eyes lit up.
Now the first goal of the people of the Wang family is food and food.
"It's really a family jujube, I didn't expect there to be two jujube trees on this mountain. Let's pick up more, this thing is nutritious, and we will give it to our mother to eat when the time comes," Gu Zi said
The sister was a little bit more snorted. But the mood is really good. Although there are not many dates on the ground, some of them are buried in the soil. The three sisters pulled the placket and picked up the checked dates, and they were very happy to pick them up.
The three sisters, in the end, shook the tree down. Then he was satisfied, put the jujubes he had picked up, put them under the pear buns, and covered them with a layer of grass.
A few more children picked up some twigs and dead wood, and soon two large pear buns, and a box to fill up. Look at the sun, so that it is overhead.
Gu Zi and Qing Barley carried pear bags on their backs, and the young ladies each stretched out one hand and carried the frame. Maizi held the pheasant, and the three of them walked slowly down the uphill together, there was no ready-made way, everyone could only move down carefully, for fear of spilling things.
By the time we reached the bottom of the mountain, the sun was already a little off. "Sister. We have to go back quickly, in case Mom and Dad come back from the late train, the kang will still be cold when we get home."
The children hurried home, but after all, they still had things in their hands, and they couldn't move as fast as they had been. The things on my back are getting heavier and heavier. The three children were so tired that they took out a date from their pockets and ate it.
After walking for an hour and a half, the sisters returned to their homes.
The wheat was so tired that he lay directly on the kang, and the barley took some dates and chestnuts to pick up the millet. It was Hongjun who opened the door, and "Brother Hongjun" Qingli immediately showed a smiling face and greeted Hongjun who opened the door.
"Hmm" Hongjun only nodded, then turned around and entered the house. The barley came in, closed the door, and followed.
Brother Hongjun is only one year older than Guzi, two years older than her, only eleven this year, with the pride and shyness that a little boy should have, a boy at this age is reluctant to play with a girl.
The barley must have been an adult, and he didn't care, and when he entered the house, he saw Millet eating eggs. Qing Barley immediately became embarrassed in his heart, "Auntie, how can you give Millet eggs, this is for you to milk." ”
"It's okay, my aunt will give her half of it, your mother and your father have entered the city, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, you sisters, if there is anything, just shout, or let your brother Hongjun go over to be a companion for you" Aunt Yang said with concern.
"Why don't I go? , Mom, I'm going to go and play with the third son" Without waiting for Qingli to speak, Hongjun was embarrassed and immediately refused, and, after saying this, he ran away as if fleeing,
Qing Barley secretly laughed at this general, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth when he grew up, and now he was embarrassed to hide out, obviously afraid that her mother would say something that made him even more embarrassed......
