"Then you'll have to eat some, or she'll be suspicious." I pointed in the direction of my mother's house, and my brother immediately understood, picked up the cake and ate a few bites, and I told him about Du Cheng.

The eldest brother nodded: "Okay!" This thing is well done, and you don't have to have anything to do with him in the future, I just heard my mother say that you want to go to school? I support you, don't worry about money. ”

"No, I'll figure it out myself."

"Are you coaxing me again? How can you have money, I sometimes go out to build houses and cut trees for people, and I get it with cash. ”

I smiled and pushed my eldest brother's shoulder: "I'll talk about this later, you don't care, hurry up and eat and go to sleep." ”

In fact, I had already thought about it just now, and in a few days it would be time for the rice to ripen, and I was going to follow the village women who often went out to work to the next town to harvest rice. The terrain over there is so potholed that it is not suitable for harvesters, so you have to hire labor. In a few days, I can earn fifty yuan if I say nothing, and I am confident that I am no worse than others.

But I didn't want to tell my mother about it, because every time I went out to work, there were rumors in the village that those men and women were very immodest outside, and my mother wouldn't let her go, so I was going to cut it first and then play it.

Anyway, if you walk straight, what else can you do with me? Anyway, my reputation is probably not better because of my divorce, and these words will not hurt me in the slightest.

The eldest brother gave me the big red and big wild fruit in his pocket: "I tasted two on the way, but they were delicious." ”

I took one out and rubbed it on my arm, then put it in my mouth, and sure enough, it was crispy and delicious.

I said, "My mother doesn't like to eat sour, and my second sister-in-law is pregnant now, so I'll keep two for her." "Although she treats me badly, after all, she is pregnant with the child of our Wang family, so it's nothing to give her something to eat.

"Forget it, there are not many of these, you can eat them all, I'm picking them tomorrow, just don't let my mother know that I met her." Big brother whispered.

I smiled and put the fruit away.

At night, I lay on the kang of the hut by myself, looking at the old mottled roof and was stunned, this is the first day of my rebirth, but I have experienced a lot of things, my mind is thinking about the things of the day and Du Cheng, and thinking about the future plans, I can't sleep over and over.

My hands have been on the kang mat, touching the fruits, if I want to go out to cut the rice. I need to have wearable clothes, I remember that Du Cheng once gave me a set of his sportswear, and I was reluctant to wear it, so I just wore it.

There should be a set of gloves for work, and toiletries should also be prepared, and there is no soap at home, just use homemade pancreas, black and swarthy and smelly, the towel is broken and dirty, and the wooden comb teeth are not much off, my mother naturally won't buy it for me, how to get some money?

I looked at the red fruit in the moonlight, and sat up suddenly, yes! When the wild fruits are ripe, find an opportunity to go to the woods, cut some down, and sell them to the city, and the people in the city will like to eat them.

It's autumn, and there are things in the mountains to make money, so I have made up my mind, so I can settle down and fall asleep quickly.

The next morning, my mother got up early, fed all the chickens and ducks in the back, and was sweeping the yard.

I said hello to my mother, and began to prepare pig food, cut all the bad, small, and scarred sweet potatoes into pieces and cooked them, pounded them directly into a paste, and added brush pot water, stirred evenly, and poured them directly into the trough.

The three big pigs rushed out in search of the smell, ate without raising their heads, and after feeding the pigs, I ran to the yard to wash my face.

Mom said, "I have to peel off all those buds today, otherwise I'll be old." ”

I didn't say a word, and glanced at the next door: "Every day is the same as Jiao Niangniang, when can I watch them work for a day?" ”

"Don't compare with your second brother, he was injured, and besides, he inherited the incense for our Wang family, and they gave birth to a grandson for me in the future, I want to be better to them, you don't understand a girl."

Mom's posture, because my second brother is a handle, so he is naturally more noble than me, so he doesn't have to work!

I only have a sneer in my heart, it's a pity that she is a wrong idea, because the second brother and the second sister-in-law have given birth to four in their lives, all of them are girls, because of this incident, the house is uneasy, but I won't say this, the province will give birth to a daughter in the future, and my mother will scold my mouth for cursing it.

At this time, the eldest brother also got up, buttoned his clothes and walked out.

"Mom, are you up?"

Mom didn't pay attention to him, and went to water the ground in the small courtyard in the backyard.

I said, "I guess I suspect that you went to find Cailian last night, anyway, you don't want to compromise." ”

The eldest brother smiled, he was burning the fire on the side, I cooked, made yesterday's cake hot, and slapped a cold cucumber. I shredded the potatoes and boiled a potato soup with a little coriander in it, which was very tasty.

Setting the table down, the three of us began to eat.

I suddenly looked at my mother and said, "My eldest brother goes to the ground every day, and the food is not as good as the second brother." You didn't even leave any of those dough cakes for your eldest brother? ”

The eldest brother hurriedly smiled: "It's the same for whatever you eat, it's okay." ”

Mom gritted her teeth with hatred and quietly pinched my waist.

I exclaimed, "Ah! Why are you pinching me? Am I not right? Every day except eating and sleeping, I don't do any work, and when I divide food and money, why am I more active than anyone else! ”

I deliberately shouted at their house, but the second brother and second sister-in-law were also calm, and there was no movement at all.

Mom said: "You don't have to talk nonsense, when your eldest brother breaks up with that evil spirit, I will make him a dough cake." ”

The eldest brother just lowered his head and ate quickly, and he didn't talk to him.

Because I was worried about those fruits, so after eating, I asked my mother to wash the dishes, and I pulled my eldest brother out early first. I begged him to accompany me to the woods, where the road is not easy to walk, and it is easy to get lost if you walk on your own.

We walked for more than half an hour before we entered the orchard, and when we looked up, the fruit was all ripe, and it hung bright red on the branches. My eldest brother and I knocked down dozens of catties of fruit, packed it in a washed cloth bag and put it in a nearby hole, and my eldest brother asked me why I made so much?

"I'm going to sell it, I want some money."

The eldest brother said: "When will you make money by selling like this?" ”

I grinned and grabbed my eldest brother's arm: "It's a secret, don't worry." I looked down and saw a pile of yellow mushrooms under the big tree nearby, ahhh

"Okay! You help me pick more. Just don't let Mom know. "I'm grabbing a lot of mushrooms, and I'm fast.

"Qiao'er, why do I think you seem to be different from before." The eldest brother said with a smile.

"I've always been me, by the way, big brother, you have to do me a favor, you can help me think of an excuse to let me go into the city in the afternoon. Don't let Mom find out. Otherwise, the money will still be taken by her. ”

The eldest brother nodded: "Don't worry, it's not easy?" ”

We picked another big bag of mushrooms and hid them together.

After cleaning up these, I took a detour to my own field, but my mother never came, and nine times out of ten I helped my second brother cook and work in his house.

The people in this neighborhood all grow corn, and now the corn is slowly boundless, and the yellow-orange-orange corn hangs on the stalks, and the yellow corn leaves are hanging down, although the appearance is ugly, but this is the time when the farmers are most happy.

The eldest brother first went to the field of Lin Cailian's house next to him and was busy for a long time, throwing those ripe buds onto a small piece of land in the middle.

I kept a sentry on him while I worked.

After doing it for a while, I watched my mother come over from a distance, and quickly shouted, "Mom is here!" Come back soon! ”

The eldest brother hurriedly agreed, and quickly returned to his own land.

Mom's face was full of anger, and she came over and said, "I saw Sun E just now, and I bragged to a few neighbors there, saying that I had found a daughter-in-law in the city, and I would go to work in the city after I got married, and I also said that I would put a running water banquet for three days in a row." Definitely won't marry a rural daughter-in-law or anything, I really want to tear her mouth! ”

The eldest brother said: "You are really, what is good about such a villain, it is Qiao'er's luck not to marry him, and it is also worth your anger." ”
