When breakfast was ready, I called the four brothers to eat, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, it's time to eat." ”

"Okay, come on." Li Dalang was cleaning the stove, listening to the little sister's call for food, and hurriedly responded, and Erlang was the first to run out of the main room, moving a stone for everyone, and then sat down and stared at the few bowls on the ground in a daze.

"Second brother, come and wash your hands first before eating." Situ Yan pointed to the basin on the side and asked Li Erlang to wash his hands. But when I looked up, I found Li Erlang in a daze against the bowl, and called a few times, but there was no response. Not only a little worried.

Seeing that Li Dalang came over with San Lang and Shilang, he hurriedly asked Li Dalang to come over and take a look, "Big brother, take a look, what's wrong with the second brother, I didn't even make a sound when I sat there, I called him several times, but I shouldn't." ”

Li Dalang glanced at the second brother and pushed him, "Second brother, what's wrong with you." In other words, it scared Xiao Wu. ”

Li Erlang was pushed by Li Dalang, and then he raised his head and pointed to the bowl on the ground, "Big brother, it's gnocchi soup." ”

Li Dalang looked down at the five bowls on the ground, but no, Xiao Wu made gnocchi soup, which he had eaten when his mother was alive, and he never ate it since.

Li Daniu's family made gnocchi soup only for the old man and Zhaocai, not even the second uncle, at most it was sweet potato soup, and the four brothers couldn't even drink sweet potato soup most of the time, and only occasionally drank a few sips when they were busy with farming. Most of the time it's a wild vegetable soup.

Li Dalang was a little distressed, he was not busy with farming at the moment, and he felt that Xiao Wu was a little wasteful of food, but looking at Xiao Wu's serious face, he couldn't say what he wanted to save, thinking that he would come to cook in the future, so that the food at home could last a few more days.

"Noodles, pimples, pimples, soups, good, drink, are you?" Saburo will also follow a few words now, although the words are slow, but now no one in the family looks down on him, but encourages him, waiting for him to finish slowly, so he is also willing to talk to everyone. Saburo and Shiro hadn't drunk gnocchi soup since they were born, and they were drooling at this time.

"It's delicious." Shiro couldn't wait to take a sip at this time, shouting that it was delicious.

"Fourth brother, you haven't washed your hands yet, there is water in the basin, the eldest brother will take you to wash your hands first, if you don't wash your hands, you are not allowed to eat."

Situ Yan crossed her hands on her hips, her face was serious, and she looked serious about not giving food if she didn't wash her hands. Da Lang glanced at each other, although he didn't know why he had to wash his hands when he ate, but he still went obediently.

After washing their hands, the five of them sat around and drank soup with a bowl.

Li Dalang found that there were gnocchi in the four bowls, but only one bowl did not, and he was about to take the bowl, but he saw a pair of white little hands holding the bowl.

"Little Wu, give the bowl to the eldest brother! You eat this bowl. Li Dalang pointed to the bowl with gnocchi in front of him, thinking that he wanted his little sister to eat more.

"Big brother, I don't like to eat black noodles, I just drink this, you and the second brother eat more, and only when they are full can they have the strength to work." Situ Yan took her bowl and drank it happily.

Li Dalang paused for a moment, thinking that the little sister was reluctant, all for the sake of their four brothers, he just thought that the little sister was wasting food, and when did he become like his milk. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and the more I felt sorry for my little sister.

The other people sucked and chirped, and they looked very embarrassed, Situ Yan chewed and ate in her mouth, tears swirling in her eyes, what kind of life did the brothers of the Li family live before to starve people like this. Listening to a few people chewing in their mouths, they didn't forget to shout "fragrant, delicious". In addition to feeling distressed, there is also a small sense of accomplishment, watching the family eat happily, her heart is also sweet.

Li Dalang listened to the happy voices of his younger brothers, his hand holding the bowl trembled a little, and his eyes were filled with tears. In the past, he was useless, and his younger brothers were hungry with him every day, and in the future, he must let his younger brothers and sisters eat enough.

Li Dalang didn't realize at all that Situ Yan's hands were still black and thin yesterday, but today they have become white and tender. Situ Yan herself noticed it, but she didn't want to always turn herself into an ugly monster, so she didn't deliberately hide it, thinking about going up the mountain for a while, finding a mountain spring water, and washing herself well, if she didn't wash it, she felt that she was smelly and sour.

San Lang has always been a careful person, he drank two sips of soup at this time, and when he raised his eyes, he happened to see Situ Yan's white and tender little hands, he was stunned for a moment, and then blinked, making sure that he was not mistaken, and then he spoke, "Small, five, hands, white." ”

When the other brothers heard it, they didn't react at first, but then San Lang said it again, and a few people felt strange. Li Shilang picked up Situ Yan's other hand and looked at it carefully, "Xiao Wu, when did your hand become so white?" ”

"A few brothers, Xiao Wu is white, the Xiao Wu you see is not the real Xiao Wu, it is deliberately painted like this, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid it would have been sold along the way."

"Then Xiao Wu, what do you look like?" Jiro would be particularly curious. Da Lang also stared at Situ Yan's face with puzzled eyes.

Situ Yan smiled and didn't answer, just let a few people guess.

Several people guessed for a long time, but they all saw Situ Yan shaking his head, and finally Da Lang spoke, "No matter what Xiao Wu looks like, it's my little sister, it's your sister." ”

"Yes." Several people nodded and felt that what the eldest brother said was reasonable.

Situ Yan glanced at everyone's faces, and a sense of satisfaction rose in her heart, in fact, there is nothing wrong with this kind of farm life, in her previous life, she desperately wanted to get out of the mountain village and go outside to see the world, but when she really went outside, she was not only suffering in her body, but also in her heart. This is even more true in the days of being a spy, sometimes even looking into the mirror and asking yourself, "Who are you and why are you alive?" ”

Reliving a life, what she hopes for most is plain, what she longs for most is family affection, and now she has both, although the days are harder, but her heart is not bitter. What else could she ask for.

looked at the faces of the four brothers with satisfaction, and there was a warm look in their eyes. This will be her home from now on, these four people are her relatives, she has five brothers, and the brother who is far away, these people are the people she will protect in this life. No one wants to hurt them, otherwise she, Situ Yan, will let these people survive and not die.

After eating, San Lang took the initiative to wash the dishes, Situ Yan thought that there was no oil and water in this bowl, and he was not afraid that it would not be cleaned, so he left it to him.

looked at the sky, it was already the end of the hour, Situ Yan kept an eye on the affairs of the family again, and then asked Shiro to collect firewood first, and he carried the basket on his back and went to find the wasteland.

Situ Yan originally wanted to go into the mountains with Shiro to find food first, but at this time she felt that she had found wasteland first, and if she had land, she could build a house, and it would be good to have her own home as soon as possible.

Situ Yan has a lot of requirements for choosing a place, not close to the village, preferably near the mountains, there is no river here, if there is a real drought, the mountain spring water is afraid that it is the only source of water, and then she has to grow rice, raise fish, and grow economic fields, which can not be too close to the village, which makes people look at it, and it is also a trouble.

I walked a few places in a row, but there was no agreement, and I couldn't help but be a little discouraged, thinking about going to the northwest to take a look again, if not, I would give up today.

When I came to the northwest, I saw a mess of rocky land, with countless large and small stones, Situ Yan couldn't help but be a little disappointed, this land is about ten acres, just at the foot of the mountain, and far away from the path of the villagers into the mountain, if it is not because there are too many stones, it is a good land.

Just wanted to turn around and leave, suddenly attracted by a weed, and took a closer look, this is alfalfa grass, alfalfa grass is the best livestock feed, the most important thing is that its growth environment is sunny, moisture-loving. On the surface of the land, it is impossible to grow alfalfa grass, unless there is a dark river or water vein underground, which would be ideal.

Situ Yan felt a little moved in her heart, "Maybe there is fertile land under this stone?" "The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was possible.

Take out a shovel from the ring, and start digging a pit on this land, first pick up the stones on the ground to the side, expose the soil and then start digging, the first pit revealed the red soil after digging an inch, and then dig the second pit after a hundred steps, the same as the previous one, dug nearly forty or fifty pits in a row, carefully distinguish the soil situation under the stone, in fact, not every pit is the same, Situ Yan took a look, this land is about six acres can be cultivated, as for the other four acres or more is completely unable to grow things. Even so, it was enough for Situ Yan to stand on the wasteland and laugh at the sky.

When he had laughed enough, he put away the shovel and ran to the village house. rushed to the village Zheng's house in one breath, Situ Yan was so tired that she was a little panting, and this body needed to exercise more. Aunt Fu was washing clothes in the courtyard, and when she saw Situ Yan running over from afar, she got up and opened the door for her, "What's wrong with the girl, there is a dog chasing you!" Come in and take a break and a saliva. ”

"Thank you, Aunt Fu, I'm here to find Uncle Muramasa." Situ Yan took the bowl of water and took a sip before speaking.

"Your uncle has just gone out, and I asked the little sheep to call him back." Aunt Fu saw that Situ Yan was running in such a hurry, thinking that there was something urgent.

"Aunt Fu, if Uncle Muramasa has something urgent, I'll come back later, and I'm not in a hurry."

"Your uncle doesn't have anything to do, just wandering around the village. This autumn harvest has just ended, and the taxes have been paid, so what else can I do? ”

"If it's not troublesome, then I'll wait here."

"Okay, you wait, I'll call the little lamb to go." Aunt Fu entered the east chamber, and after a while, she saw Xiao Yang'er and Aunt Fu walking out one after another.

"I'm sorry for the trouble little lamb brother." Situ Yan greeted politely.

Xiao Yang'er glanced at Situ Yan, didn't speak, and went out directly.

"You said this stinky boy, he doesn't say a word when he sees the sky, he doesn't say hello to anyone when he sees him, don't mind the girl, he has that temperament."

"Look at what you said, Brother Xiaoyang'er is stable and enthusiastic, like Uncle Muramasa, he will also be a good official in the future." Situ Yan felt that she couldn't wear any sycophants, and this praising children in front of other parents was the most popular.

Sure enough, Aunt Fu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. While talking to Situ Yan and washing clothes, Situ Yan couldn't help with this work, so she had to sit on a small wooden bench and chat with her.
