When Lian Man'er opened her eyes, the sky was already bright. Wasn't it because she drank that bowl of medicine last night, Lian Man'er felt in good spirits, and her body was not as weak as yesterday.

"Man'er is awake?"

Lian Man'er nodded and sat up from the kang. The family got up, and she was the last one.

Lian Zhi'er went to help Lian Man'er put on her clothes, and quickly folded the bedding and put it into the cabinet against the wall at the tip of the kang.

"Man'er, you wait, I'll bring you face water." Lian Zhi'er went out as he spoke, and after a while, he came in with a basin of clear water and a small box of green salt.

The family's hygiene habits are quite good. Lian Man'er thought in her heart, so she brushed her teeth and washed her face, and Lian Zhi'er took a comb again to untie Lian Man'er's braids. Chapter 11: Sweet Girl

"Man'er, I'm afraid the wound on your head hasn't grown yet, you can't get wet, and you have to wash your hair in a few days." Lian Zhi'er combed Lian Man'er's hair, lightly, trying not to touch the injured part of Lian Man'er's head, and then braided Lian Man'er with two more braids.

"What are you doing with your father and mother, as well as your brother and Xiaoqi?" Lian Man'er asked Lian Zhi'er.

"Dad accompanied the uncle to Lao Jin's house to exchange the silver, and my mother was outside to boil medicine for you, Wulang and Xiaoqi went out early in the morning, and they didn't say anything." Lian Zhi'er said.

While the two were talking, Zhang walked in from outside with the boiled medicine.

"Man'er, drink the medicine first, and you will have a good meal in a while."

Lian Man'er looked at the black medicinal soup, and her mouth felt bitter, and she hesitated and refused to accept the medicine bowl.

Zhang naturally saw Lian Man'er's thoughts, and he didn't feel sour. She went to the room early in the morning and wanted to ask Lian Man'er for an egg and a little sugar, but was scolded by Zhou, saying that she was too spoiled to children and there was no old man in her eyes.

"I'm fine, I don't need to take medicine." Lian Man'er whispered.

"Man'er, this medicine is not bitter, my mother just tasted it, you are so easy to ......, bear with it, just drink it in one gulp." The Zhang family could only coax Lian Man'er.

This medicine seems to have some effect, and if you want to have a good day in the future, you have to take care of your body first. Lian Man'er thought so, and took the medicine bowl.

At this time, Lian Wulang ran in from outside the door with Xiao Qi.

"Man'er, for your sweet girl." Rengoro poured out a large handful of small green fruits from the placket of the clothes he was holding.

Lian Man'er put down the medicine bowl and picked up a small fruit to look at. This sweet girl has a flax-like outer skin, which has turned a little yellow and withered. Tear this layer of skin apart, and the inside is the plump sweet girl's fruit that has already turned a little yellow. She had eaten it when she was very young in her previous life, it was very sweet, and she could dig out the slurry in it and chew it to play.

"Man'er, you taste it, it's sweet." Lian Wulang also tore one open and handed it to Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er pulled the fruit off, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and then nodded, it was sweet.

"Second sister, if you drink the medicine, just eat this, and your mouth won't be bitter." Xiao Qi said with a raised face.

Lian Man'er couldn't help but smile. Zhang's, Lian Zhi'er, Lian Wulang, and Xiao Qi looked at Lian Man'er and smiled, and they all laughed.

Lian Wulang and Xiao Qiyi's water vapor went out early in the morning to pick a sweet girl for her, afraid that she would be bitter if she took medicine. But this sweet girl is wild?

"Where did you get so many sweet girls?" Without waiting for Lian Man'er to ask, Zhang had already asked first.

"From Erya's house." Xiao Qizui replied quickly.

"Who picked it for you, doesn't his family?"

"Don't worry, Xiao Qi and I caught several crickets in the morning, and exchanged them with Erya's brother, and Erya's mother too." Ren Goro said.

Zhang was relieved.

It turned out that it was not wild, Lian Man'er thought to himself, this girl's fruit is also called sour berry, and there are two varieties. One is sweet, and when it is green, it is very sweet. The other is bitter, and when fully ripe, it becomes red, that is, it is sweet and sour, it is delicious, and it also has medicinal properties. It is especially effective for sore throats and can also treat colds, dysentery, dysmenorrhea and gynecological inflammation.

"Only sweet girls, no bitter girls?" Lian Man'er muttered to herself.

"Bitter girl?" Xiao Qi heard it and hurriedly said, "We have the bitter girl, but Aunt Xiu'er won't let us touch it." ”

"How can a bitter girl be sweet, a girl is sweet. If you want to eat it, you will have to eat it in two more days. If you want to eat Man'er, my brother will go to the mountains for you to pick it at that time, there is a big piece there. Ren Goro said.

It turns out that there are wild ones, Lian Man'er thought, there is no need to wait until the medicinal bitter girl is fully mature, maybe she can pick it up for some pocket money.

"When the time comes, you can pick more, and you can sell it for money." Lian Man'er said.

In their place, sweet girls are rare, but bitter girls are very common. There are a few in almost every house, and people rarely eat them, and most of them are chewed and played by the girls in the family. The piece in the mountain belongs to him, and no one picks it at all. Can this also be exchanged for money? Lian Wulang didn't believe it, but in order to coax, he nodded his head.

"Okay, my brother will pick it up for you when the time comes."

"Man'er, drink the medicine quickly, the medicine should be cold in a while." Zhang's Road.

Lian Man'er picked up the medicine bowl very obediently this time, and before she could drink it, she heard Zhou's angry scolding from the upper room.

“…… Black-hearted, lazy and gluttonous **, sleep until the sun burns your buttocks and don't come to work, want to starve our old ......"

Zhang hurriedly stood up and was about to go to the room.

"Mother," Lian Man'er hurriedly called out to Zhang. She, several children in the Lian family cook in shifts, yesterday was Zhang's class, and no matter who it is today, it doesn't matter to Zhang's business. Zhou's is unreasonable again, and Zhang's catching up at this time can only beg for being bored and scolded, and he has to take the top of the tank for others.

"It must be that your second aunt forgot to cook, and my mother has to help. Otherwise, this family will not be able to eat at any time, and your uncle, second uncle and your father will have to go to the town. Zhou said to Lian Man'er that he still wanted to go out.

Lian Man'er secretly stroked her forehead, and she was really full of responsibility, but it was a pity that it was out of place.

"Mother, I don't want to take medicine, mother, you feed me." Lian Man'er looked at Zhang with wide eyes. If you don't let Zhang go, you can't do it, you can only be coquettish.

Sure enough, Zhang looked at his little daughter with a strip of cloth wrapped around her head, and her big eyes flickered expectantly, her heart softened, and she took the leg that stepped out, so she simply sat on the kang, really picked up the bowl, and began to feed Lian Man'er medicine.

"Mother, I want to drink one bite at a time, drink one sip, and eat a sweet girl." Lian Man'er said deliberately.

"Okay." Zhang was in a hurry to go to the room, and when he saw his daughter like this, he could only be patient.

Lian Man'er drank the medicine that Zhang fed her mouth, and at the same time ate the sweet girl that Lian Zhi'er and Xiao Qi peeled for her. In the upper room, Zhou had already scolded in a trick, but no one responded, and finally there was no sound.

"Fourth sister-in-law, my mother called you." Lian Xiu'er came in with a black face, left a sentence, turned around and left, and went to call Zhao and He.

Zhou's this is going to teach them a lesson, and Lian Man'er secretly stuck out his tongue.

There was no reason to stop Zhang's family, so Lian Man'er followed Zhang's family to the upper room.

Even the old man was not in the room, and even the old lady Zhou straightened her waist and sat on the kang, staring at the few people standing on the ground viciously.

"Who's going to cook today?" Zhou asked.

He wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand, threw a piece of eye droppings to the ground, and remained silent. Zhao shrank and lowered his head, not daring. Gu didn't come, I heard that he was unwell.

Zhang wanted to speak.

Lian Man'er hurriedly tugged at Zhang's sleeve. Zhou can not cook today, so asking, it is obviously a trap.

Zhang looked down and saw Lian Man'er's anxious eyes, he didn't want her. Thinking that his little daughter was well-behaved, sensible, and filial, he couldn't help but shut up.

The eldest child said that he was not feeling well and did not come, and the second child looked like a scoundrel, and even the most honest and honest Zhang refused to talk to him, and Zhou was even more annoyed in his heart.

"Dumb? Q: Did you hear me? Zhou roared.

Lian Man'er only grabbed Zhang's tightly and didn't let her.

Seeing that there was still no one to answer, Zhou had to endure his anger, glanced at it a few times, and finally pointed at Zhang.

"Fourth, you say, who should cook today?"

This is called, persimmons pick up soft pinch, or pick up drumsticks?

"Mother, ...... today," Zhang hurriedly said.

"Mother, yesterday was our family's cooking." Lian Man'er hurriedly intercepted Zhang's words, "Who should be today?" ”

Zhang wanted to support his daughter's scene, so he responded with a sentence, "Yes." ”

Zhou's anger was reversed, but Zhang didn't take the bait, she could only turn to He.

"Yesterday was the fourth child on duty, today it shouldn't be your turn, why did you get up at this time, and want to starve me and your father to death?"

Ho was prepared.

"Mother, you also said that yesterday was the fourth family on duty, why is it my turn today, my man is the second oldest." He said, "When my sister-in-law was in the town, I didn't talk about it, I finally came home, it wasn't my father and mother's son, and I shouldn't cook for my father and mother." ”

"You" Zhou pointed at He, who was usually the laziest and a little miserly, and didn't take her words at ease. However, what Ho said today also makes sense. The Gu family follows the boss in the town all the year round, and rarely serves in front of her. Now, it's time to serve her.

You can say that she is not feeling well now, and tell her not to come, so what about it in the future? Zhou's heart sank, and then relaxed. Even if the Gu family becomes an official wife in the future, it will be her son. She is an old lady and the mother of the eldest of the Lian family.

I really should set up rules now, so as not to lose her in the eyes of the Gu clan in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhou made up his mind.

"Go and call your sister-in-law." Zhou commanded.
