After dinner, it was already dark, the fire in the courtyard was extinguished, and the five of them went into the house together.

Situ Yan lit the oil lamp, but the light of the glowing water gave people a warm feeling. Da Lang looked at the oil lamp and remembered the old house. It was still when the mother was alive, because she could do some embroidery work, so the milk especially allowed the mother to light an oil lamp for an hour, but the lamp oil could be given very little, so the mother could only cut the wick short, so that she could save more.

Situ Yan watched Da Lang staring at the oil lamp in a daze, and then looked at Erlang a few times, and saw that they were also looking at the oil lamp, but the expressions of the three of them were not as sad as Da Lang.

"Big brother, do you think of your godmother?"

"Uh-huh! When my mother was there, I could do some embroidery, and my mother gave me an hour to light an oil lamp, and after my mother went, I never lit an oil lamp in the house. When Li Dalang said this, his eyes were so wet, and he hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve.

"Big brother, I don't remember seeing an oil lamp." Erlang was too young at that time to remember, and now when he hears Dalang mention it, he feels even more sad.

"It's all my fault, I'm tired to death." Xiaosi was most reluctant to go, if it wasn't for giving birth to him, his mother wouldn't have gone like that, the three brothers wouldn't have been without their mother, and their father wouldn't have fallen ill from exhaustion.

"No, it's not anyone's fault, the godmother is watching you in the sky, you are all his most precious children, she is her brainchild, you have to live well with the godmother's life, so that the godmother will be happy in the sky, and she will not leave and worry about you." Situ Yan knew that this was Shiro's heart knot, and she wanted to open this heart knot, although it was not easy, but she believed that hard work paid off. As long as she keeps telling Shiro that he didn't kill his mother, I believe that after a long time, he will forget about it.

"Really? Xiao Wu, my mother doesn't blame me, my mother is watching me in the sky? Shiro looked at Situ Yan with tears in his eyes, as if he wanted to confirm something from her.

"Yes, Godmother is watching from the sky now. If the brothers are doing well, the godmother will laugh, and if the brothers are not doing well, the godmother will cry in the sky. I can always dream of my mother, and my mother said to me in my dreams, 'Good daughter, I only hope that you can live well, and my mother will be at ease.'" So I believe that my godmother must have thought the same way. Situ Yan invited Situ Wan out again, thinking sorry in her heart, this is also to help people, and Situ Wan won't care if she wants to.

"Big brother, don't blame me, woo~~~!" Shiro threw himself into Da Lang's arms and cried, this matter has been pressing on his heart for a long time, since he can remember, his grandmother said that he was a broom star, and his mother was killed, and now he finally knows that it is not his fault, and his mother does not blame him.

Da Lang hugged Shiro and shed tears, Erlang and San Lang also cried together, Situ Yan didn't make a sound at this time, it is better for them to cry than to bury it in their hearts, otherwise this matter will become a nightmare and torture several people for a lifetime.

After crying for a while, Shiro's voice became smaller and quieter, and his emotions stabilized, and then Situ Yan spoke, "Fourth brother, don't cry, my brothers don't cry, Xiao Wu is sad." ”

"Okay Shiro, I'm going to laugh at you if I cry again." Da Lang pushed Shiro, and this cry came out, and even he felt a lot more relaxed in his heart. glanced at Xiao Wu gratefully. He has always known that Shiro is guilty of this, it can be seen that Tian'er can't even eat a full meal, how can he take care of persuasion, or Xiao Wu has a way, and let Shiro put it down in a few words.

"The fourth brother said that the brothers are especially good at weaving straw mats? Is it true? Situ Yan was afraid that a few people would think about it more, and wanted to find something for them to do to distract them.

"Well, but I don't do as well as the second brother, the second brother is skillful, and the mat he makes is particularly strong." Shiro sniffed and wiped it with his sleeve, and then replied to Xiao Wu's words.

"It's good to know how to make it up, but I don't know it at all. The eldest brother and the second brother cut a lot of wool grass today, and they will use this to weave such a wide and long mat in a while. I want it tonight, I want ten, I don't know if I can make it up? Situ Yan gestured to the four of them.

"What's so difficult about this, the four of us, we can make it up in more than an hour." Li Erlang patted his chest and promised.

The four of them didn't ask Situ Yan what they wanted these mats for, anyway, the little sister wanted it, and it wasn't tiring to make it up, so a few people gathered around the room to make it up.

Situ Yan sat on the kang and watched while chatting with them.

"Big brother, I have something I want to ask my brothers for help? I wonder if my brothers are busy tomorrow? ”

"Listen to Xiao Wu, we have nothing to do, that is, when the first snow comes, we have to go into the mountains to hunt, and then we will hunt more, and we will have meat to eat during the New Year, and the fur can be sold for some silver." Li Dalang thought that he bought this land to build a house. Little sister should have arranged this!

"Then what does the big brother have to play small? Can you help your eldest brother with his work? Situ Yan thought that if Da Lang worked alone, he would be too tired, and he was afraid that his body would not be able to bear it.

Li Dalang was busy with his work, and after thinking about it, he said, "Yes, the mountain baby and the dog are about the same age as me, and they can play since they were children." ”

"If they're okay tomorrow, let them come home and help my brother with his work. I'll talk to my brothers about what I'm going to do tomorrow, and if there's anything inconsiderate, my brother will help me think about it. ”

Situ Yan saw that the four of them had no opinions, so she said her plan.

"Tomorrow, let's go to see the land together, and then the eldest brother will go to the mountains with Brother Shan Wazi and Brother Dog to choose some trees for beaming doors and windows, and then ask Uncle Muramasa to help find someone to cut them, this tree has to be dried before it can be used." Then dig the soil and cut the grass to hit adobe bricks, the second brother cuts the grass in the morning, and the eldest brother hits adobe bricks in the afternoon, and the third brother starts digging thorns tomorrow, our land is too close to the mountain, and the courtyard wall should be surrounded by thorns, so that it is safe. The fourth brother and the third brother worked together in the morning and dug wild vegetables in the afternoon. In addition to cooking, I went into the mountains with the third and fourth brothers, digging up some herbs by the way, and when I went to the market next time, I took them to the pharmacy to see if I could exchange some money. We had to build up the house before the first snow came. Big brother thinks this is okay? ”

"Okay, Xiao Wu is thoughtful, I don't think there's anything to say, so I'll listen to Xiao Wu."

"When the eldest brother calls Brother Shan Wazi and Brother Dog tomorrow, he will eat at our house at noon and night, and he can't let people help him with the work, and he will go back hungry, which makes people pay attention. It's just that we don't have enough bowls at home, so we have to let them bring their own bowls. Situ Yan thought about it, these two people can have a good relationship with the eldest brother, and they shouldn't be the kind of scheming people, although they don't eat much at home, they have to greet others, otherwise these two people don't have any opinions, and I'm afraid that the adults in the family will not be happy.

"Okay." Li Dalang also felt that it was good to do this, and he originally thought so, but the food at home was all purchased by Xiaomei, he was embarrassed to say, thinking that Xiaomei had even thought about these little things, and he was really relieved to give Xiaomei a housekeeper this time.

"Brothers, don't be tired of working, just rest, nothing is as important as the body. If the brothers are tired and sick, Xiao Wu will be distressed. Situ Yan thought that Li Dalang and the others were all honest people, and she was afraid that they would only care about their work and forget to rest, and then they would be exhausted.

"Well, we all know that Xiao Wu should be careful when entering the mountain, but he can't go deeper." Li Dalang felt that Xiaomei asked him to do all this for this family, and he didn't feel tired at all if he could help Xiaomei work. I'm happy in my heart.

"I also feel that I am full of energy now, and I am not tired of doing anything. Eat well and sleep soundly. Li Erlang is willing to live such a life, he doesn't feel tired when he is tired, and the more he works, the more energetic he becomes.

"I, also, no, tired." Saburo and Shiro also think so.

After chatting for a while, Situ Yan learned that Shan Wazi was the son of Li Aniu and Aunt Aniu, and Gouzi was the son of Li Si and Aunt Niu, and they all had a good relationship with Li Dazhu, so the boys had been playing together since childhood.

It took almost an hour and a half to weave the mat, Situ Yan flipped through it and looked at it, it was really the best made by Erlang, and the worst made by Shiro. The mats are all single size, and five of them are spread on the kang first, and the rest can be used as quilts, so that it is not cold to sleep at night.

Da Lang and a few people saw their eyebrows at this time, and they all praised her for being smart, why didn't they think of it before, if they had thought of it earlier, they wouldn't have to be frozen these winters. In fact, it's not that they can't think of it, but they are hungry and don't have the heart to think about anything else, and every day they don't touch the ground for their busy stomachs, people often say "full and warm", which is not "full", how can there be any other mind to consider "warm".

Situ Yan looked at it and felt that it was almost over, "Brothers, go to bed first, and then take off their clothes and pants, I will wash you and dress them early tomorrow morning." ”

"Little Five, don't wash it." When Li Dalang heard that he was going to take off his clothes, he was a little embarrassed, so he put on a pair of pants, and he was about to show his ass when he took them off.

"Big brother, after taking a bath, how can you still wear dirty clothes, it's not in vain. It's not that I should be the housekeeper, then you have to listen to me, or I don't care about this family. Situ Yan pretended to be angry and turned her back, she couldn't look at a room full of male babies with bare butts. Although she had seen a lot in her previous life, this was ancient times, even if she didn't care, it was impossible for Li Dalang and them not to care.

Li Dalang thought that Xiao Wu was really angry, thought about it, gritted his teeth and blushed, but took off his clothes, and then hurriedly got on the kang and covered the mat. When Erlang saw that the eldest brother had taken it off, he also took it off, and he got into the mat without slipping.

"Cough," Li Dalang coughed first, and said with a red face, "Listen to Xiao Wu." ”

Situ Yan laughed secretly, straightened her face, turned around, put away the dirty clothes on the ground, took the oil lamp to the stove room, and did not forget to tell them to sleep first before going out, of course, she also threatened two sentences, because she was afraid that they would have to wait for her to come back.

When I entered the stove room, I first removed the grass knots on a few pieces of clothes and pants, soaked them in soapy water for a while, and then washed them. I don't know how many basins of black water I washed before I washed all the clothes. Even the dirty clothes on her body were washed, and she had underwear, even if the outer clothes were washed, it didn't matter.

Hold up the washed clothes one by one with branches and hang them on the broken fence wall, which is dry this season, and should be dry early in the morning.

When I was done, I went back to the house to rest. At this time, the four brothers of Li Dalang had already fallen asleep.
