"Grandma, that's the case, I want to pick up my yard, but I really don't have farm tools at home, so I thought I'd like to ask you to borrow it......"

"That's it? But those farm tools are all made of iron, how can you move a skinny baby? In this way, if you really want to get it, just wait for your Uncle Zhuzi, that is, the eldest of my family, to come back from the mountains, and I will ask him to get it for you......" Before Lin Yu's words were finished, the old lady continued, she really likes this child now, don't look at her young age, but she knows how to advance and retreat, and she is not greedy, so now I really want to help her.

"Grandma, it's really not necessary, Uncle Zhu is tired after a busy day, you see you can borrow me a hoe first, okay? If I really can't move and ask Uncle Zhu for help, do you say it's okay? Lin Yu was afraid that the old lady would not borrow it, so he pulled the hem of her clothes and begged.

Looking at Lin Yu's anxious appearance, the old lady laughed: "Okay, grandma, I'm just afraid that you will hurt yourself, you girl really thinks I'm reluctant, you wait, grandma will bring it to you......"

As he spoke, he stood up, and shouted in the direction of the main room as he walked towards the ear room, "Apricot...... Apricot ......"

"Hey, milk, what's the matter?" A small body stretched out in the hall, and it was also a little girl who looked like a * year, with two pigtails on her head, and a pair of big eyes looked at the forest fish curiously, and grinned at her while responding with a green face.

"Go find two sacks and put five catties of sorghum rice and five catties of soybeans in my house, and then take them out after they are packed." The old lady commanded.

"Hey, good!" The little girl replied, turned around and went back to the house without saying a word, and after taking the sack, she went to the old lady's room.

"Grandma, I really don't need to, I have food at home......" She didn't have to guess to know that the soybeans and sorghum rice were for her, she was really a little embarrassed, and said to the figure of the old lady.

"Don't be too polite, let you take it, you can take it......," the old lady turned around, raised her hand, and entered the ear room.

Lin Yu stood in place, standing or sitting, she looked at the fish in her hand, looked around and found that there was a well in the yard, and there was a wooden basin under the eaves, she walked over, untied the fish and put it in the wooden basin and took it to the well, and wrung half a bucket of water and poured it inside, the fish was a little dying, it seemed that she would have to tell Aunt Sù to let her marinate the fish earlier.

After doing this, Lin Yu returned to the original place and just stood firm, the old lady took a small shovel and hoe and came out, and said as she walked: "You take these two objects first, they were replaced by your Uncle Zhuzi who was too small, don't be in a hurry to return them, you can use them for as long as you like."

Lin Yu quickly went up and took it, and it was really dexterous and light in his hand, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, "Thank you, grandma!" ”

"You goblin! Is there anything else you need grandma's help with? The old lady touched the head of the forest fish and smiled lovingly.

"Grandma, I just want to ask if you have any vegetable seeds? Can you lend me something, I want to learn to grow some food. Lin Yu said embarrassedly, is she a little too inch-inch?

"Yes, why not, the croppers don't even have vegetable seeds, they can't drink the northwest wind, you wait......" When the old lady heard that she wanted vegetable seeds, she patted Lin Yu's shoulder and walked to the main house.

After a while, the old lady came out with the girl from before, carrying two sacks and a small cabbage seed.

"Don't be polite to grandma, these soybeans and sorghum rice are not worth any money, and we countrymen are rare, you take it back first, as for whether you eat it yourself, don't worry about it, wait until your family has a balance in the future." The old lady carried two things and put them in front of Lin Yu, and opened the vegetable seeds and pointed them to her, "These are all vegetable seeds that are easy to survive at this season, I have brought you some of each, and I have planted apricots, I will let her go back with you to teach you, and help you take these at will." After recognizing it, he wrapped it up and put it in the hands of the forest fish.

Lin Yu felt something block her throat again, her nose was sore, and her eyes were painful, she didn't know what to say, so she could only stand straight and bow deeply to the old lady.

"Oh, you kid is honest, it's not a big deal, it's worth it!" The old lady hugged the forest fish and said strangely.

"Thank you Grandma, thank you for your kindness, the fish must remember your kindness!" Lin Yu raised his sleeve and wiped the tears that were about to roll down, and said solemnly to the old lady.

"You, isn't this a trivial matter, why did you say that it was a great favor? Grandma's family also relied on your uncle Zhuzi to lend you a little surplus from hunting, and besides, you can find it is also the fate of the two of us, grandma knows that she is a good boy when she sees you, and she likes you as much as she likes our apricots, don't say these words in the future, people live because you help me and I help you, and then grandma is angry! The old lady patted the head of the forest fish with her hand and pretended to be angry.

"Okay, don't talk about these useless things, you better go back quickly, aren't there still two small ones at home, don't have any stubble." As she spoke, the old lady took the shovel in Lin Yu's hand and used the wooden handle to pass through the gap between the two sacks that were knotted, and let Lin Yu and Apricot each take one head, and urged her to go quickly.

Lin Yu and Apricot looked at each other and smiled, said goodbye to the old lady, walked out of the courtyard one after another, and just took two steps she turned around and said, "Grandma, I put the fish in the basin by the well, you quickly kill it." Without waiting for the old lady to react, the two walked to the gate of the courtyard, but at this time, a small black shadow rushed in from outside the door and staggered the apricot walking in front.

"Bolt baby, what are you doing! What the hell is it for you? Lin Yu hurriedly took a step forward and supported Apricot with his hand holding vegetable seeds, and Apricot stood firm and shouted after seeing the person who hit her.

"Bolt baby, where did you go in the early morning, ah? Why do you have a virtue with your mother? The old lady also took three or two steps to the gate of the courtyard, and reached out to grab the ear of the bolted baby.

"It hurts, it hurts, you ......," the baby muttered with her head tilted.

"You monkey cub, your mother is not at home, say, where did you run away with your mother?" The old lady let go of her hand and slapped the baby twice on the back.

"My mother and Caoyu and her mother went to Shangliu Village to play leaf cards today, she asked me to find a place to play with Caoyu Dogwa, and I came back when I was hungry to play......" I was afraid that the old lady would pull her ears again, and the baby replied far away, and then stared at the apricot and the forest fish and asked "Hey apricot, where are you going?" Who is she? ”

"What's the matter with you? Eat your meal and go, let's go. Apricot glanced at him and said to the forest fish.

"I'm going too, I'm going too!" The bolt baby stepped forward and grabbed the apricot and shouted.

", look at him!" Apricot looked at the old lady for help.

"Your sister has something to go out, why are you going to join in the fun! Go back and eat your buns......" The old lady reached out to pull the bolt baby, but he dodged it in a flash, and she scolded.

"I'm not hungry anymore, I'll help them get something." The bolt baby snatched the small hoe in the other hand of the apricot, and ran out with a smoke.

"I want to go out into the wilderness again, come back quickly......," the old lady walked quickly to the fence door and shouted in the direction where the bolt baby ran away.

"Grandma, why don't you let him go, and it's not far away

"This wild cub," the old lady shook her head helplessly in the direction of the bolt baby, turned to the apricot and the forest fish and beckoned, "Go home quickly."

Lin Yu thanked the old lady again, and walked to the foot of the mountain with the apricots one after the other.

Apricot's personality is also lively and cheerful, and on the way, she knew that Lin Yu was a year older than her, so she screamed all the way to her sister, and when she got home, she also exchanged a lot of basic information with each other.

It turns out that the surname of the apricot family is Wei, she and the bolt baby are a pair of dragon and phoenix sisters and brothers, and there are several families in this Quhe village who make a living by hunting, and their family is one of them. Her father, Zhuzi, was a farmer at home when he was busy, and when he was not farming, he went into the mountains with several families to hunt, while the rest of the family in the village was mainly farming, and in his spare time, he went to the port seven or eight miles away from Quhe Village to work as a porter to earn some pocket money. Hunting is quite hard and dangerous, but fortunately, the rewards are also very rich, so the families who hunt are slightly more prosperous than others. Apricot said that her grandmother was in charge of their family, but she did not mention her mother, but recalling Mrs. Wei's words when she scolded the baby, she guessed that her mother should not be a virtuous person who cares about the family, after all, it is the farming season, and usually peasant women will take care of housework and livestock at home, and listening to the old lady's tone, it is clear that she is often away from home.

As he spoke, he arrived at the door of the house, and the bolt baby walked in front, squatting in the corner of the wall and playing with Ling'er Qi'er, and Apricot and her carried soybeans and sorghum rice into the house.

"Sister Yu'er, is it really just the three of you in your family?" Apricot glanced left and right, and there was a dilapidated place in her eyes, so she asked curiously, but after seeing Lin Yu nodding to her, she was a little upset, isn't it a joke Lin Yu to ask like this, she quickly explained: "Sister Yu'er, don't be angry, in fact, my family is basically me and my grandmother are at home, my father is often not at home when he wants to hunt, my mother and my brother go out after breakfast every day and don't come back until dark, so our family is similar to you......"

"I'm angry, I'll punish you now for teaching me how to grow vegetables until I know everything." Looking at Apricot scratching her cheeks and scratching her brains desperately to explain, Lin Yu bent her index finger and scraped her little nose, then pursed her lips and laughed, and after finishing speaking, she turned around and walked out of the house. Kyoko stuck out her tongue behind her and followed
