Gu Qingzhu, who was in a hurry, didn't have time to think about it, stretched out his leg and stumbled, Gu Dabao, who was completely defenseless, was unstable on his feet, didn't pounce on Qingying, fell headlong by himself, fell and gnawed on the mud, and rolled a few times with a fat body, flattening a new bamboo basket of the Qin family.

"Mother, it's painful for me!" Gu Dabao fell with a blue nose and swollen face, and his fat body was lying on the ground like a big king, kicking his hands and feet, crying loudly.

"The bastard boy who has more than enough success and more than failure, you have the ability to grab the mud, why bother to take my bamboo basket to be angry, why don't you call your mother to compensate for it!" Qin Shi held the scattered bamboo basket and glared at him angrily and scolded.

was stirred up by Gu Dabao like this, and the people next to him didn't grab the mud anymore, they all turned their heads to look at him and laughed, only to see that his two lines of tears washed out a few small water marks on the mud on his face, and then he was wiped indiscriminately by his fat hand, and the big fat face like a basin turned into a big flower face in a blink of an eye, and everyone laughed unceremoniously when they saw this, and they all laughed unceremoniously, and several little boys even laughed so much that they hugged their stomachs and rolled on the ground.

Gu Qingzhu couldn't care so much, she took advantage of the chaos to take Qingying away, Qingying didn't know at all, she only smiled and showed the mud cow feet in her arms to Sister A, Gu Qingsong, who was standing on the periphery, heard the laughter erupting in the crowd, and didn't know what was going on, so he hurried up, but was pulled away by Gu Qingzhu who came out.

The three sisters and brothers didn't go far before they heard the sharp voice of the second aunt Zhu from behind, and the Qin family scolded back not to be outdone.

Little Qingying trembled in Gu Qingzhu's arms, on the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, in order to grab food, Zhu Shi forcibly pulled off her hair, she heard her voice at this time, and her scalp immediately ached.

"Don't be afraid, let's go home." Gu Qingzhu patted her little sister's soft little body distressedly, and Qingying obediently hugged her sister's neck and nestled on her shoulder socket, leaving those fryer-like quarrels behind.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Gu Qingsong looked back, he was fine before, why did he make a fuss in a blink of an eye, he asked with some doubts.

"Gu Dabao fell down in the mud, crying shamelessly." Gu Qingzhu pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

When the three of them returned home, there was still some grain porridge left in the pot, Gu Qingzhu boiled a few sweet potatoes and two eggs, and fried a plate of pickles in the snow, Qingsong crushed the mud cow's feet in the courtyard, and Qingying squatted in front of him excitedly, talking to him with bright eyes.

"Let's wash and eat." Gu Qingzhu called out.

Qingying turned into a little earth monkey in order to grab the mud, Gu Qingzhu helped her wash her face and hands, recombed her little hair, and changed into clean clothes, before carrying her to the table to eat.

"Qingsong, I'll go out to sprinkle soil in a while, it's a good day today, you pour kudzu powder into a big plaque to dry, now the snow on the mountain is almost melted, tomorrow is the day of the market, I want to go to the county town Dexing medicine store to sell, where the price is higher." Gu Qingzhu said as he put the peeled eggs in Qingying's porridge bowl.

"Sister, I'...... I'm not going to study in town this year. Gu Qingsong buried his head in eating and said in a low voice.

"How's that going to work! Mr. Liu said that you are very smart in studying, and you may be able to be admitted to the Tongsheng next year and transfer to the county school to go to school. Gu Qingzhu was a little surprised and said that she knew that her brother loved to read.

"It's the same when I read at home, and I'm sure I'll be able to get in next year!" Gu Qingsong was rarely so stubborn, he had been thinking about this for a long time.

Gu Qingzhu was a little sad when he heard this, he was silent for a while, and then said: "I lent the money I saved before to the village chief, you wait for Sister A few more days, when you receive the spring tea, and get together for half a year, you still have to go to Mr. Liu's school." ”

"Sister, it's right for you to take the money to save Brother Qingshan, if it were me, I would do the same, but now Grandma is forcing you to ask for rations every month, and you can't do it a day late, Qingying is still young, if I go out to study, don't talk about spending money, who will help you do things? You're so bitter like this, how can I bear it! Gu Qingsong looked up at Gu Qingzhu, tears were brewing in his eyes, and under the dim light, a little light flashed.

"Don't worry about these things, my sister has already thought of a way." Gu Qingzhu lovingly raised his hand to rub his brother's hair.

"Brother, I'm six years old, I can light a fire, feed chickens, dig wild vegetables, and can do a lot of things, so you can listen to Sister." Qingying held a small wooden spoon, raised her face slightly, and said in a milky voice.

"That's right, our Qingying is a capable little girl." Gu Qingzhu smiled and touched Qingying's little face and wiped the egg yolk crumbs off her mouth.

"Sister......" Gu Qingsong whispered, and wanted to say something, but was severely interrupted by Gu Qingzhu, "You don't listen to my words?!" ”

It has always been the wish of her parents for Qingsong to read, although one of them has now become a cold tablet, and the other is alive and dead, Gu Qingzhu does not dare to forget it, no matter how hard it is, she has to grit her teeth to support it, this is her responsibility.

In this family, Gu Qingzhu's eldest sister is like a mother, Gu Qingsong heard the indiscriminity in her tone, suddenly softened her shoulders, no longer said anything, and only drank porridge in a muffled voice.

After lunch, Gu Qingzhu washed pots and dishes in the kitchen, Qingsong and Qingying each grabbed a handful of crushed soil from the yard and sprinkled it into the chicken pen and dog kennel.

Before going out, Gu Qingzhu told his younger siblings a few words, and just turned around the gable of Gu's aunt's house with a bamboo basket, he saw Zheng Jialu squatting in the nest wind, telling a few children about the ancients, he saw Gu Qingzhu, left everyone, and waved with a smile.

"Uncle Zheng, what are you talking about?" Gu Qingzhu greeted him and asked with a smile.
