The early summer night was not too hot, and the family of five was crammed into one bed, and after a tired day, they basically fell asleep, and some breathing sounds could be heard.

Only Wen Xiaoxing was so hungry that she couldn't sleep, she couldn't stand it, and after a few tosses and turns, she heard someone calling her.

"Is it Xiaosi, don't move, it's not good to wake up the mother, go to sleep." The voice of gentle reminder came from the other side, it was the eldest sister Wen Yixing.

Wen Xiaoxing slept in the middle, Zhong Zizhu and Wen Yixing slept on both sides, Wen Xiaoxing also replied softly when he heard the words, "Okay, then I'll sleep." ”

In fact, she has never slept in the middle like this, the bed here is hard, and it is normal to not be able to sleep, plus she is hungry and panicked, and some bruises in the day began to ache faintly, she secretly rubbed it, as long as the blood is scattered.

Tomorrow she has to start trying to figure out how to make money, she lies flat on the bed and forces herself to sleep, closing her eyes and counting the sheep in her mind.

One sheep, two sheep, three sheep......

A Thousand Sheep......

At the end of the count, she finally fell asleep...... Or rather, faint from hunger. The first rays of sunlight in the morning, the big horn shone into the grass house, Wen Xiaoxing woke up under the double call of sunshine and hunger, this is the so-called hungry fainting and waking up hungry.

Her stomach was growling with hunger, and there was no one on the bed but her.

She saw Wen Anning quietly moving the dishes and chopsticks that had flowed with clear water into the house, the coarse porcelain bowl was heavy, she was not big, and her figure looked very petite every day, and she had a little difficulty moving, but she didn't say a word, and she did it steadily, and then she began to shake her sore arms in the air.

Wen Xiaoxing was fascinated and looked a little sad, so he forgot to help, and got up a little, only to see that everyone was busy.

Zhong Zizhu was cleaning wild vegetables with dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he got up very early to dig them, after all, wild vegetables are not easy to find now, and the earlier he gets up, the more likely he is to dig them. Some wild vegetables are dug out of the thorn bushes, and they should be extra careful when washing, because they are easy to be pricked, so she has always cleaned up by herself, so that she always has a dense small hole on her hands, which is soaked in water all day, and the wound is soaked white, and it is no longer clear whether the old or the new can be distinguished, and the pain is unbearable occasionally on weekdays, and it is even more difficult to suffer from frostbite in winter. She washed and pinched her knees, presumably because the long walking had exacerbated the wear and tear of her knees.

The eldest sister Wen Yixing is helping to make a fire, the stove is simple, just a yellow mud mound with a pot on it, it is not convenient to make a fire, and the firewood that is good to burn has to be sold for money, Wen Yixing uses some firewood that is not easy to make a fire, and the smoke is so thick that she has been frowning and coughing, and occasionally she can't help but choke and cough out, and the firelight shines on the fine and dense beads of sweat on her forehead.

The third sister is still young, combing her pigtails, pouting her tender mouth, and snorting with a big broom to sweep the floor, her little face is tired and red, and she stops and rests for a while after sweeping.

She saw that she was idle alone, and she was suddenly a little overwhelmed, and thought of Zhong Zizhu to help wash the vegetables, after all, she practiced medicine in her previous life, and she still had a lot of experience in this kind of delicate work. Wen Xiaoxing raised his foot, and suddenly his stomach was uncontrollably gurgling.

Everyone turned their eyes to her, and Wen Shengyu burst out laughing, "Poofhahahaha." The eldest sister secretly covered her mouth, and An Ning couldn't help it.

Wen Xiaoxing was really embarrassed, she slept so late alone, she didn't do anything, and she was so hungry that she was gurgling, and when she heard Wen Shengyu laughing, she couldn't hold it on her face, and her face was about to turn red.

Zhong Zizhu smiled and relieved her, "Xiaosi is up, I'm hungry, it's time to have breakfast later, you go wash your face first." ”

"Uh-huh, okay."

didn't care about wanting to help Zhong Zizhu wash the vegetables, Wen Xiaoxing lowered her head and hurriedly walked away, looked around, and finally found the water tank in her memory, she scooped up some water with a gourd scoop and gently pounced on her face. The cold water flowed down her cheeks, and the shame faded to the temperature, and her mind instantly cleared up a lot.

She looked at the people who continued to be busy, all of them had protruding bones and slightly loose skin, which was a symptom of being hungry for too long. Zhong Zizhu and Wen Yixing both had sunburned faces, dehydrated to the point of being slightly chapped, there was an obvious dividing line of skin color under their necks, and the part of the skin that was covered by clothes was snow-white. As the saying goes, a white covers a hundred ugliness, which woman doesn't want to be white and tender, if her laboratory is still there, it is still okay to help them recover.

Such a busy life in poverty should actually be very desperate, but Zhong Zizhu is smiling every day, busy with these children.

Even if she is just an ordinary person, watching this scene, she should feel pity, not to mention that she is still their nominal son and younger brother.

Determined to make a fortune, she set her sights on the mountains, where there might be something she wanted.

Zhong Zizhu beckoned to quickly steam the wowotou, although the newly baked wowotou is still coarse, but in the end it tastes better than yesterday's cold and hard. Zhong Zizhu knew that she must be hungry, so she steamed a few more today.

After steaming, they were all brought to her, Wen Xiaoxing smelled a warm aroma, she was really hungry, and when she saw that she was steaming a lot, she ate a few with cold water.

Wen Shengyu didn't say anything this time, took a look at it and continued to sweep the floor, and then followed the eldest sister to clean.

The starch in the head of this coarse grain nest is not easy to be hydrolyzed by salivary amylase, and there is no sweetness after chewing for a long time, but the more she chews, the more she can't eat, she can only chew a few times and swallow it with water, and after a while she burped.

Zhong Zizhu saw that she had eaten well, and touched her little head lovingly, and then smiled and beckoned the cleaned three sisters to come over and eat together.

"Has Xiaosi eaten enough?" The eldest sister asked her.

"Uh-huh, so full, burp~"

Several people laughed happily, it had been a long time since I had seen Xiao Si eat a meal so peacefully, he had always eaten two bites and was unpalatable, and he threw chopsticks and threw his nest head, which made everyone have a headache.

After eating, Zhong Zizhu began to arrange.

This year's crops have not been harvested, and they have always had to dig some wild goods in the mountains to chop dry firewood and sell them, barely surviving.

The eldest sister was busy packing up the tools to be used on the mountain, the second sister was packing up the dishes and chopsticks to be cleaned, and the third sister was also helping.

Wen Xiaoxing wanted to help, but she really didn't know how to do it, and she had never washed the dishes before. Her current small body is undoubtedly the smallest in the family, and she doesn't have enough strength to move things, so she has no choice but to trot to her eldest sister's side.

Wen Xiaoxing saw her packing up the axes to go into the mountains to chop firewood, and the shovels for digging wild goods, and she was thinking vigorously in her heart, the small animals in the mountains might be able to grab them and sell them for money. The eldest sister stared at her intently, thinking that she wanted to play.

"Xiao Si can't touch these things, it will hurt people."

Of course, Wen Xiaoxing knew that although she was only seven or eight years old now, she had a twenty-eight-year-old soul.

Secretly pouting, the eldest sister really took her too stupid. In fact, since she received the memory, she has only cleaned up the relationship between the Wen family, and she still knows that the original body once played with the knife at home and almost stabbed herself.

"Eldest sister, I want to go into the mountains with you." Wen Xiaoxing lay on the edge of the big basket and blinked at Wen Yixing.

Wen Yixing only thought that he was a child and wanted to go in to play, and whispered to her ear, "Your injuries are not healed yet, let's rest at home first, we all have tasks to go to the mountains, and everyone will be busy by then, and no one will take care of you." ”

"I'm fine, I don't need anyone to take care of me."

"There...... Wen Yixing didn't want her to go, and was still preparing to convince her.

"Eldest sister~" Wen Xiaoxing grabbed her free hand, swayed for a while, and her voice softened, "You just let me go~"

Zhong Zizhu noticed this, and smiled at Xiaoxing, "Xiaosi is still coquettish with her sister, how adult, be careful that your sister shames you." ”

Wen Xiaoxing stuck out his tongue and saw that Wen Yixing did not waver at all, so he hurriedly said to Zhong Zizhu, "Mother, I want to go up the mountain with you to chop wood." ”

Zhong Zizhu was puzzled, "You were bitten all over by mountain mosquitoes when you came back last time, didn't you say that you don't want to go again?" ”

"Besides, there are many thorns on the mountain, so it won't be good to scratch you again when the time comes."

Wen Xiaoxing didn't care, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll be careful, I won't cause trouble to my mother and sisters." ”

Zhong Zizhu was helpless, "This kid, where are you afraid of causing trouble, if you really want to play, then go along, but don't blame me for not reminding you earlier, there are snakes, rats, insects and scorpions in it." ”

Wen Xiaoxing patted his chest and promised that he would not be afraid. Seeing this, Zhong Zizhu responded.

Wen Yixing saw that Zhong Zizhu also agreed, so he no longer objected to anything. With her understanding of Xiao Si, if there was really any injury or pain on his body, he would have screamed a long time ago, and since he is so alive now, he must really not be injured. And since I found him yesterday, Xiaosi seems to have changed a lot, and he will share the nest for his mother, maybe he has grown up.

Wen Shengyu has always been a little dissatisfied with everyone's preference for Xiao Si, at this time, while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, he nagged An Ning, "What does Xiao Si do, he doesn't do anything when he goes, it will cause us trouble!" ”

"Last time, I was bitten by a mosquito, and I kept screaming there, who hasn't been bitten, really, and I'm running around annoying!" Wen Shengyu became more and more energetic the more he spoke, "Once he caught insects to scare me, I hate caterpillars the most, woo woo~"

Listen to her complaining quietly, humming from time to time.

"Hmph~ Second sister, you didn't listen!" Wen Shengyu put down the bowl, stood up, and looked at An Ning condescendingly.

An Ning Wan'er smiled, "Sheng Yu is saying that Xiao Si is disobedient and often makes you angry." Wen Shengyu saw her answer, he was a little happier, and complained to her again, "The second sister is always uh-huh, and she doesn't talk about her own opinions." ”

"Xiaosi is indeed very naughty, but Shengyu is a sister." An Ning said as he washed the dishes carefully, "When you're done, you can go play first, I'll just come alone." ”

Sheng Yu pouted indignantly, "If he hadn't seen that he was my younger brother, I would have ignored him a long time ago!" ”

Here, Wen Xiaoxing, who was huddled in the corner, heard the words of the two sisters clearly, and there was a chill behind him. The original body is really powerful, even his own sister has been offended so badly, it will not be much better than other people, and it will be better to be a man with his tail between his legs in the future.
