Yu has a vast territory, rich land, and strong national strength, and among the other surrounding powers, Yu is the most powerful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoTherefore, Yu is relatively peaceful, and there are few wars.

It's just that even in the richest countries, there will be poor people who don't have enough to eat......

On the side of the beautiful mountain, there is a village that has lived by farming for generations, Majia Village, and the farmers in this village have enough food to eat after deducting the grain taxes they need to pay, and almost every family has to tighten their belts to get by.

The sky was bright and there was still a hazy moonlight, Ma Xingqi got out of bed, gently folded the quilt for his younger brothers and sisters who were still sleeping, walked out of the dilapidated house, came to the grass shed built in the yard, fed the pigs and chickens, and then picked up the yard, and then made water from the well, and filled the basin and jar to the brim.

Only then did he walk into the kitchen, cook on the fire, and the precious things such as oil and salt were put away by the Liu family himself, unless there was an important guest at home, they would take them out, and on normal days, these things would not be taken out, it was too luxurious.

So, she chopped up the wild vegetables that she had just come back from the mountains with some sweet flavor and put them in, improved the taste, and cooked a large pot of thin rice soup, after the rice was cooked, scooped out a big bowl of thicker ones, she took one of the eggs that had just been taken out of the chicken coop, beat an egg in this bowl, stirred it, and then put the extra bowl in the pot to heat, this is for the eldest brother, he is the only person in the family who reads, and his father said, he has to eat more and make up for it, so as to have a good life.

Covered the pot, wiped the sweat from his face, and ran to the well to wash the clothes that the whole family had changed......

It wasn't until the majestic rooster crowed, reminding the sleeping people that it was time to get up and work, that Ma Xingqi's work was completed.

Hearing the scolding sound that gradually came from the main house, Xingqi's eyes flashed with a trace of fear, but he still lowered his head, slowly walked into the main house, and knocked on the door.

"What's wrong!" The woman inside said sharply in an angry voice.

"Mother, the meal is ready, you and your father come out to eat......" Xingqi replied in a small voice.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a slap was slapped on Xingqi's thin back, "The voice is so small, who can hear it!" Don't call your big brother and younger siblings up, what are you doing at the door! Seeing Xingqi's trembling and cowardly appearance, Liu Shi looked bored and waved his hand, "Get out!" ”

Xing Qimeng nodded, "Yes, yes, yes." But he didn't dare to run, he only dared to walk quickly.

She has long been accustomed to this kind of angry beating and scolding of her mother for no reason......

Walking to the newest room, I knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, a clear voice came from inside, "Okay, get up." ”

Ma Yuewen, her eldest brother, because he was her grandfather's first grandson, was happy, and sent the eldest brother to the only private school in the village. What she envies the most is her eldest brother, because she doesn't have to do any work, she just holds a book to read in the yard, and her mother will let her send good food and drink to her eldest brother, and her eldest brother has the best food and accommodation in the family.

Even through the door, Xing Qi still nodded nod, in this family, except for her mother, what she was most afraid of was her eldest brother, every time his eldest brother glanced at her, she felt that the eldest brother did not have her in his eyes. (The poor guy can't tell it's ignoring her eyes......)

Walking into the dilapidated familiar house, his brother and sister were still sleeping soundly on the earthen kang.

Whispered, "Yuewu, Xingyi, get up." Although there was no fear in her eyes, she still whispered softly, her younger siblings are not close to her, maybe the two of them are relatively close in age, Yuewu is 9 years old, Xingyi is 8 years old, and she is already 13 years old......

The eldest sister closest to her has been married this year, and when she thinks of the eldest sister who got married, her eyes are overflowing with longing and envy......

"Dead girl, why don't you come over and clean up your meal, you want to starve your mother!" Her mother's shrill voice sounded outside.

Xing Qi shuddered, and then raised his voice slightly, "Yuewu, Xing is in bed together, or my mother should scold." As soon as they mentioned their mother, the two little guys immediately sobered up, remembering the pain of the slap on their bodies, and a spirit, without instructing, found their own clothes and put them on.

Xingqi walked out quickly, his father and mother had already come out, but the eldest brother still hadn't come out.

Liu was complaining about her father, arguing here and there, while Ma Li listened quietly and dumbly.

Hurriedly and neatly put the somewhat dilapidated but still sturdy wooden table in the middle of the courtyard, set up a bench, and poured water.

"Daddy, you sit down first, Yuewu and Xingyi will come out soon." After speaking quietly and solemnly, she was relieved to see that her mother nodded. He went into the kitchen, put the porridge in a basin, and brought it out, as for the bowl left for the eldest brother, he put it back in the pot and heated it.

When they came out with the chopsticks again, Xingyi and Yuewu were already sitting on the bench obediently.

The Liu family took Xingqi's bowl, picked up the spoon, and scooped the porridge into the bowl.

"Got food for your eldest brother?"

"Hmm."

Liu nodded with satisfaction, as soon as she mentioned her eldest son, she was proud, there was no one in the entire Majia Village who didn't know that her son was going to take the Xiucai exam in the future! Just thinking about it makes your face glow.

Even if she complains that her family is not competitive and honest, as the main labor force in the family, she still has to eat.

filled a big bowl for Ma Li, and gave it to himself as a big hand, and then filled half a bowl for the youngest son, half a bowl for the youngest daughter, and in the end, he gave Xingqi the remaining scarce half a bowl......

Xingqi brought it over carefully, taking small sips, drinking slowly, and easily full.

"Today, I will take your brother and sister to the mountains to collect firewood and wild vegetables. Don't forget to pick some more wild fruits to give your big brother a change of taste. ”

"Got it." Xingqi replied in a muffled voice.

As soon as he finished breakfast, Uncle Ma came to Ma Li to go to the house of the big landlord, Ma Quancai, to help.

And Liu Shi gave a few instructions, and then carried the hoe to the field.

Xingqi washed the dishes and chopsticks, put the basket on his back, and led his younger siblings to the nearest mountain.

"Second sister, I'll play with Xiaoyi here, you can go in by yourself." In Ma Yuewu's eyes, he didn't look down on this cowardly second sister at all, took Xiao Yi's hand and walked to the stream over there.

"You guys, be careful." Xingqi saw that her younger siblings didn't want to be with her, and knew that they wouldn't listen to her, so she had to tell her.

And Yuewu and Xingyi didn't look back.

With a sigh, I had to go up the mountain by myself.

I walked to the place where I dug wild vegetables last time, and was just about to squat down.

"Hey, Xingqi, my aunt took this piece of land last time, can't you take advantage of our mother, and you're not afraid of being laughed at?!" Suddenly, a female voice came from behind him, Xingqi was startled, stood up, and saw that it was Aunt Ma.

Hearing the meaning of her mouth, Xingqi's face suddenly turned red, but her shyness could not be seen in her dark and dry face.

Xingqi wanted to open his mouth, but was glared at by Aunt Ma, so he immediately picked up the basket and left.

"Alas, I don't know how the Liu family gave birth to the daughter, how can these two girls be such a timid girl, how can they look like that shrew, hehe......" Xingqi didn't go far at all, and she didn't hesitate to speak out.

After Xingqi heard this, she just sped up her steps, and she didn't have the courage to reply.

Fortunately, she soon found another piece of land and quickly dug up wild vegetables......

Looking up at the sky again, I felt that it was almost time to go back, so I folded a few leaves and covered the full back basket.

Looking at the red wild fruits on it, he touched his belly that he had been calling for a long time, and bit his lip.

Forget it, this is for the big brother.

I stuffed a wild vegetable into my mouth, and tasted the bitter taste, but swallowed it patiently.

I went down the hill to the outskirts of the mountain, walked to the creek and looked around, but I didn't see her brother and sister, in the past, they would all go back with her, today......

"Xingqi, why are you still here? It seems that Xingyi was playing in the creek just now, and one accidentally slipped and hurt his head, Yuewu's child couldn't find you, and it happened that the sister-in-law next door to your house came to pick wild vegetables, and when she saw it, she hugged it home, and it took her for a while! Aunt Ma also led her daughter down, and when she saw Xingqi, she told her. It's nothing for them to take advantage of a little bit of a farmer's family, but they are really nervous about other things.

When Xing Qi heard this, his face immediately turned white, and he ran towards the house with his legs.
