On September 24, the sky was very overcast, the north wind was howling, and the temperature plummeted by about five degrees. When Situ Yan got up early to cook, she shivered from the cold, and she couldn't help but worry about Li Dalang and the others. She was wearing a jacket and a liner that felt cold, but the four brothers only had a single coat on them. So I deliberately added some ginger when cooking rice.

During the meal, several people chatted while eating, "It's very cloudy today, I'm afraid it's going to rain at noon, so don't go into the mountains, and the new yard will stop for a day today, if it rains, you will catch a cold and get sick." Situ Yan is really worried, there are no antibiotics in this era, if she is really sick, I am afraid that she will have to wait for death.

"We're not cold, but it's the little sister, don't go into the mountains today, just stay at home, these days can make you tired, see the day when you go into the mountains to collect medicine, come back and give me a few cooking, it's useless for the eldest brother, let the little five follow the hardships." Li Dalang felt uncomfortable, and the little sister was thinking about a few of them, but seeing that the little sister was eating less and less day by day, her face was obviously thin, and she didn't even have a cotton coat on her body, so he felt uncomfortable with the fire.

"Big brother is right, Xiao Wu, you are not allowed to enter the mountain today, you wear little clothing, if you freeze, I will die in a hurry." Li Erlang nodded approvingly.

"Xiao Wu, don't worry, we all have to work when it's colder, or we won't even be able to eat. In the past few days, I have eaten enough, slept soundly, and my body is hot and breathing, but I can't get cold. Shiro has grown up a lot these days, and he doesn't look for other children in the village to play, and follows Situ Yan every day to dig thorns, wild vegetables, and pick herbs.

"Then the brothers will work until it rains, and then stop, don't get drenched in the rain, take all the straw mats in the house, and cover all the adobe bricks, or you will not dry them until you use them." Situ Yan thought about it for a while, but still said more, "This autumn rain is cold, and my brothers don't even have a jacket, I'm worried!" Situ Yan was actually very aggrieved in her heart, she wanted to be clothed in the ring, but she couldn't take it out to make a cotton coat for her brothers to wear, so she could only watch a few people get cold.

"Little Five, don't worry, we're really not cold at all. After a while, I'll be busy and sweat! Several people were united at this time, and persuaded her together, so that Situ Yan's heart was better.

"Big brother, I won't go into the mountains today, there are still wild vegetables at home, and there are still some black noodles left, and there are enough for today and tomorrow morning. I divided the herbs that I had dried in the past few days, and I took them to the county to exchange for some silver money when I was in the market. You help me talk to Uncle Muramasa, early tomorrow morning, I want to take Brother Xiaoyang'er's ox cart, and ask him when he will leave? Situ Yan was anxious, she had to enter the county seat earlier, so that she could make money. So that I can take out the contents of the ring and use it properly.

"You don't have to go to Uncle Cunzheng, every time you go to the market, there are villagers who want to enter the county, so you go to the entrance of the village and wait, the ox cart waits until the hour, and you leave as soon as the time comes. Early tomorrow morning, the eldest brother will accompany you into the city. ”

"Don't bother the eldest brother, there aren't many herbs, just that basket, and I can't carry it again, if the weather is good tomorrow, the eldest brother can still make more adobe bricks, and the new house should be built early, I'm afraid that the winter will not be far from the snowy day." Big brother, don't worry, with Brother Little Lamb, I'll be fine. "Situ Yan doesn't want Li Dalang to follow, otherwise she won't be able to do anything, and she won't be able to make money. Knowing that he was afraid that he was in danger, he used Mushimasa's son as an excuse.

Li Dalang lowered his head, he didn't know what to think again, and he didn't answer for a long time. Situ Yan was a little anxious in her heart, but she couldn't urge, for fear of arousing the suspicion of her eldest brother.

Seeing that breakfast was about to be finished, Li Dalang opened his mouth, "Xiao Wu, there are many people and events in the county, I am afraid that it is not safe for you to be alone, so I can protect you if I go." Li Dalang actually understood that he could only protect his little sister, that is, he couldn't make any money, and he had to take a two-penny car, but when he thought of letting his little sister enter the county alone, he panicked.

"Big brother, I'll be careful, I won't let anything happen to myself, I won't go anywhere, just exchange some money in the pharmacy, and then go to the grain store to buy some food, and then go back to the ox cart and wait, it will be fine." Big brother, let Xiao Wu go! Ming'er is a big set, there must be other people in the village who have entered the county, and there will be no accidents. "Situ Yan is out of luck at this moment, who let her have a beautiful body, it's really difficult to make people believe her.

"Okay, I'll talk to the little lamb and let him look at you a little. Xiao Wu, you must not have anything, with you I feel that I have a home, if something really happens to you, our family will be dispersed. Li Dalang was a little excited, and touched Situ Yan's hair, as if this little sister wouldn't be able to see Ming'er.

"Well, I promise, I'll come back completely, and nothing will happen." Situ Yan saw that Li Dalang agreed, and happily hugged his arm and coquettishly.

After breakfast, Li Dalang took his three younger brothers to the new yard with straw mats to make adobe bricks and pick up gravel. Situ Yan waited for everyone to disappear, then returned to the main room, took out all the herbs that were picked and dried some time ago from the ring, only some of each were left and wrapped, and the rest were all divided into categories, tied with straw ropes, and the fine ones were packed in cloth bags, and the baskets were full of them, so they had to put the rest in the ring. I went into the ring again, flipped through the two packs of rags, picked out some large pieces, and kept them for a few people to make shoes.

He withdrew from the ring and looked at it, and before the rain had yet to fall, he went in again and picked the fruit from the hawthorn tree, the date tree, and the millet tree that he had harvested the other day. I was busy until almost noon, and I didn't finish the picking, so I had to quit first to cook lunch.

As soon as he entered the stove, a flash of light flickered, and ten seconds later, a muffled thunder burst made people's hearts palpitate. "It's going to rain again. I don't know how long it will last, if it doesn't stop tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with this episode, and the family will be hungry by then? Situ Yan was depressed, she felt that she was very useless, her family was about to run out of food, and she wrote a lot of things but couldn't use them. The more I thought about it, the more depressed I became, and I punched the stove, my hand hurt, and the feeling of distress could be lighter.

Situ Yan saw that Li Dalang and the others had not come back, and he was a little anxious, and he was about to go to the new courtyard to call everyone back, and as soon as he walked to the door of the stove room, he heard the scattered footsteps of several people, and it sounded like he had run back. poked his head out and glanced out, and saw that there were four people coming back, and he let go of his heart.

The four of them rushed into the stove room before stopping, shaking the water on their bodies, Situ Yan complained, while putting the ginger water on it, and handed each a bowl, "The thunder has been ringing for a long time, why did you come back, it's not that you don't get drenched in the rain, if you are sick, see if I still care about you!" ”

"Hehehe, it's okay, I'm not afraid of the cold, don't be angry, Xiao Wu, I'll be back early next time." Erlang reacted faster than Da Lang, and Da Lang was most afraid that his little sister would be angry, so he could only be anxious at this time. In fact, it's not that they don't want to go back, just reconciled the mud, only hit a few bricks and it rained, if you don't play well, the mud will be in vain, Ming'er can't use it, seeing that the rain was not big at the time, so I insisted on finishing it, but I didn't expect it to be done just after it, and the rain was heavy.

"Alright, drink it quickly, go to the stove and roast. Don't do that again. Situ Yan also understands that if there is a condition, who is willing to work in the rain, this is all poor and must not be done.

"It's good if Xiao Wu isn't angry." Li Dalang thought about it for a long time, and finally only held back six words, and everyone in the room laughed.

"I'll drink some thin food at noon and evening today, and the rest of the black noodles will have to be pasted with cakes tomorrow morning, and a vegetable soup for breakfast and lunch is enough to eat." Situ Yan counted the remaining things at home, afraid that she wouldn't be able to return at noon tomorrow, so she couldn't let her brothers work, and they were still hungry, not to mention the mountain baby and the dog.

"You can eat anything, as long as it's made by Xiao Wu, I can drink water and drink it to my heart's content." Shiro's mouth is the sweetest, and he just saw that Xiao Wu felt sorry for them in the rain, and he was busy coaxing them at this time.

"Then the fourth brother will drink water at noon today, and don't eat lunch." Situ Yan laughed at Shiro.

Saburo shook his head with a smile, "Yes!" One word, in exchange for a burst of laughter.

After lunch, the four brothers gathered in the main room to weave straw mats, and Situ Yan had nothing to do for a while, so she also learned to weave straw mats.

"Little Wu, you can't sell these straw mats, what's the use?" Li Erlang thought that they would weave an hour's straw mat every night these days, and he moved fast, and the straw mat was half piled up in the room. Even the kang has been paved with five layers, although it is soft to sleep, but there is no use except this.

"The second brother will know later. Now keep it a secret. Situ Yan actually didn't think about what to do with these things, she just felt that she needed to prepare more, and she didn't know that she would use them one day.

"If you want to make it up, you can make it up, where is all that nonsense, making up this little thing can still tire you?" Li Dalang patted Erlang's head, thinking that this younger brother was tired, so he taught him a lesson.

"I'm not afraid of being tired, this little thing can also be called a problem, I'm afraid that I won't even have a place to put it if I make it up again." Li Erlang said unconvinced, glanced at the little sister, and saw that the little sister was not angry, so he put down the heart he was carrying.

"Little Wu, do you think I'm getting better and better?" Shiro didn't care about the quarrel between the two elder brothers, and showed the straw mat he made to the younger sister as if offering a treasure.

"Good." Situ Yan glanced at it, but before she could speak, San Lang answered, and said two words in a row. The four people who were shocked all looked up at him, "Third brother, can you say two words in a row?" What a step forward! Situ Yan was happy in her heart, it seemed that her method had worked.

"Hehehe." Saburo pinched the placket of his shirt embarrassedly and smiled with a red face.

Li Dalang looked at the happy younger brothers who were smiling, the younger sister came, the younger brothers laughed every day, such a day is so good, he sometimes doesn't dare to sleep, afraid that he will fall asleep, everything is just a dream. Even sometimes I was scared to wake up in the middle of the night when I was worried, and I would stare at the sleeping little sister for a long time, or touch her little hands, so that I could continue to sleep with peace of mind. At this time, he looked at his little sister, and thanked God in his heart, thanks to his mother, it must be that his mother couldn't bear to watch their brother suffer, so he brought his little sister to them. "Mother, I must protect Xiao Wu well, so that my younger brothers can laugh like this every day."
