Chapter 57: A Chance Encounter

You know, just now, she was afraid that Lichun would come in, so she dug a lot of pits, and then turned a bunch of sweet potatoes in the space, and put those sweet potatoes in the dug pits. Then pretended to have just dug it out, stretched out his head and said to Lichun.

How could Lichun think of this, listened to her words, and nodded again and again. The three of them brought three back baskets, and when Lin Xiaoman went in, he didn't bring a back basket, so Lin Xiaoman handed it to Lichun inside, and Lichun handed it to Chen, and after a while, the three back baskets were full.

Chen and Lichun didn't think about it, they just relied on Lin Xiaoman's small body, why didn't they have so much strength to dig so many sweet potatoes. Although Lin Xiaoman was not tired from digging, he was also sweating profusely. Seeing that the basket was full, she crawled out. said to Chen: "Mother, otherwise, you and the eldest sister will take the two back baskets first, and replace the back baskets of the second sister and the third sister, I will wait for you here!" ”

Chen immediately shook his head and disagreed: "No, I lost you last time!" I can't throw you away today. However, if Lichun is allowed to walk back alone, she will not be at ease, after all, Lichun is not very old.

Lichun pursed his mouth and said softly: "Mother, why don't I stay here with my little sister, you go back quickly, just carry two baskets out, and we can go back together!" ”

Seeing that Chen was still hesitating, Lin Xiaoman said: "Mother, during the time you carried back, my eldest sister and I can still work together to transport all the sweet potatoes I dug out inside." ”

Chen listened, glanced at the eldest daughter and the youngest daughter, gritted his teeth, and nodded. Although this basket is big, it is only her size, but Lichun and Lin Xiaoman's are only half the size of hers.

After all, children can't carry many things, so Chen carried his own basket on his back, grabbed Lichun's basket tightly with both hands, and began to walk out along the scratches on the tree.

Here Lichun and Lin Xiaoman glanced at each other, and did not sit down to rest, Lin Xiaoman continued to climb in, and then Lichun was outside, and after a while, a large pile of sweet potatoes was piled up outside.

Lin Xiaoman estimated that these should be enough in those back baskets, and no more could be installed! Lichun also called her out to rest for a while, although Lichun didn't expect it before, but when she saw that she was carrying sweet potatoes like a marmot, she was sweating profusely, and she was immediately distressed.

Lin Xiaoman also felt that her tired hands and feet were soft, although she didn't want her to really dig these sweet potatoes, but she kept bending over like this, with her current body and age, it was really a bit unbearable.

When she came out, she sat down next to the pile of sweet potatoes, never wanting to lift her fingers again. Lichun was also very tired, but he still pulled his sleeves and carefully helped Lin Xiaoman wipe his sweat.

Lin Xiaoman tilted his head, which was convenient for Lichun to wipe, and his mouth was cracked. Lichun said distressedly: "Why don't you know to rest inside, look at you tired!" ”

"Isn't it the same for the eldest sister, don't wipe it, you can also sit down and rest for a while! When my mother comes, we'll pack it and go home. After speaking, Lin Xiaoman pulled Lichun and sat down next to her.

Then his head rested on Lichun's shoulder, and the breeze in the woods blew, bringing a trace of coolness, blowing away the heat on their bodies and the sweat on their faces, and they suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

This sky is so blue, looking at the sky at the end of the tree, Lin Xiaoman can't help but think of modern times, the foggy sky, it seems that it is rare to see the real sky, and the haze is broadcast live in the news. Therefore, everyone pays attention to the blue sky that is rarely displayed, everyone is running for work and survival, and the hearts of friends and relatives seem to be separated by a chasm.

And here, although they are also miserable and poor, they also have to struggle and work hard to survive. But the sincerity of Chen and Lichun made Lin Xiaoman's heart full of warm feelings.

Lichun turned his head sideways and saw Lin Xiaoman staring at the sky in a daze and smiling stupidly. Immediately, she tugged the hair on the corner of her mouth behind her ear and said softly, "Little sister, are you tired?" If you're tired, close your eyes and rest for a while, and when your mother comes, I'll wake you up. ”

Lin Xiaoman listened, closed his eyes obediently, answered with a sound in his nose, straightened his legs comfortably, and relaxed his body.

When Chen rushed back, he happened to see two villains, sitting there embracing. Thinking that something had happened, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

When Lichun heard Chen's voice, he immediately looked up, pursed his lips and smiled, "It's okay!" The little sister was a little tired, so she rested for a while. This thing is almost dug up, and if there are too many, I think we won't have enough baskets. So, let the little sister come out and rest for a while, waiting for you to come. ”

Lin Xiaoman was awakened by Lichun's movements, rubbed his eyes, and stood up. muttered: "Mother, you're back!" ”

Seeing that the two daughters were fine, Chen immediately stroked his chest, slowed down, and breathed a sigh of relief. She had just hurried out all the way, worried about the eldest and youngest daughters in the forest, and the second and third daughters waiting by the forest.

When she hurried out, she saw that Gu Yu and Lixia were fine, so she immediately changed her backpack and rushed back, all the way in at a trot.

"That's okay, Lichun, you take Xiaoman to rest and rest, I'll pick it up here." After saying that, Chen put down the empty back basket behind him, then squatted down and began to pick it up.

Lichun still sat down, and together with Lin Xiaoman, squatted down to help Chen pick it up. After a while, the two baskets were filled. It's just that there is still a small pile of sweet potatoes on the ground that can't be filled.

Chen thought for a moment, took off the coarse linen coat he wore on the outermost, spread it on the ground, and picked up all the sweet potatoes. Then break it into a package and pick it up vigorously.

Fortunately, the weather is not hot now, because to keep warm, Chen specially wore a few extra clothes. Therefore, it doesn't matter if she takes off the coarse linen clothes outside, otherwise the people in the village will see it, and the spit Xingzi will drown her.

The mother and daughter came down from the mountain all the way. I was almost at the foot of the mountain when I met a man. When the man saw Lin Xiaoman and them, he was obviously stunned.

Ah Yuan didn't expect that this little child would get lost in this mountain before. He actually dared to go up the mountain again, and besides, wasn't this Chen family worried before? Will you take your child up the mountain again? Moreover, on their backs, each of them carried a basket, which was round and round, and they didn't know what it was.

When Chen saw the stranger, he immediately became cramped. After all, they didn't want the villagers to know about going up the mountain this time. If the man asked them what they were carrying, she didn't know how to respond or answer.
