The reason why I didn't waste time with Wei Qiu's sisters and sisters was because Wei Xiaogoose had other things to do.

Today, when she saw someone collecting firewood and wood at home, her heart moved.

In the past, the west courtyard was also lit with fire, although there was no new pot for cooking, but when Wei Dashan was there, the family's washing, especially in winter, when it was cold, was boiled with hot water.

There is also a kang hole in the house, and in winter, burn a handful of firewood before going to bed every night, which can also warm up most of the night.

The old yard feeds the cows, and the firewood and grass here only need to be pulled by the ox cart twice to solve the problem.

Think about it, when Wei Dashan was there, he went home every day during the autumn harvest and came back with firewood by the way.

Wei Dashan is not at home this year, Wei Laogen and Mrs. Tian don't seem to have thought of this stubble at all, and they have already started to plan for the winter in the old courtyard, but they have never mentioned the western courtyard at all.

Thinking that Qiao's family would definitely not plan for the West Courtyard, with her obstruction, Wei Dalin, an uncle, might not be able to count on it, Wei Xiaoge decided to go to collect firewood in his free time.

Thinking that in the morning, he took an extra steamed bun home, and the Yuan family could make do with some in the evening, Wei Xiaogoose sighed.

As for herself, she had already thought about it. It's a big deal to tell Yuan that he has already eaten in the old courtyard.

When I went to the west courtyard, I was thinking about whether to put the porcelain jar and bowl home first, or hide it first, and when I got the firewood and got it back together, I heard someone call my name.

When I looked back, I saw an old lady in her fifties walking over with something.

When it was clear that it was Wei Zheng's wife, Mrs. Cui, Wei Xiaoge's eyes lit up, and there was no need to starve tonight.

Hurriedly greeted him, and before he got closer, he smelled the smell of meat.

Seeing Wei Xiaoge holding the empty porcelain jar and bowl, Mrs. Cui sighed and said, "Mrs. Tian quarreled, so she won't cook today?" ”

With a soft hum, Wei Xiaoge opened his mouth and said, "Grandma Cui, you don't have to be so polite. In the morning, it just happened to meet me. ”

"Look at what you said," Seeing Wei Xiaogo's sincere words, Mrs. Cui had a better impression of her.

After Wei Zheng went home, he also talked about the situation at that time, if Wei Xiaogoose hadn't helped in time and used the right method, maybe he would have died. Of course, she is full of appreciation for this little girl who saved her old man, but did not take credit. also said: "In the future, when you encounter no cooking in the yard over there, go to grandma's house and say, how can there be a few mouthfuls of food for your mother." She can't say that Wei Laogen and his wife are not, and she can only do this to keep Wei Xiaoge's mother and daughter from starving.

"Thank you, grandma," compared with the indifferent family affection over there in the old courtyard, Mrs. Cui was an outsider who could say such a thing, which made Wei Xiaoge's heart warm.

Wei Xiaoge believed that she would definitely have the ability not to let her mother and younger brother starve in the future, but at this time she couldn't say anything big.

The two of them talked, entered the courtyard together, and walked into Yuan's room.

Seeing Mrs. Cui walking in with something, Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.

Wei Xiaoge didn't tell her about meeting Wei Zheng in the morning, so when she saw that Mrs. Cui, who had little contact, sent something over, Yuan couldn't help but say, "Auntie, why are you here?" ”

Mrs. Cui put the crockpot she was carrying on the tip of the kang, and while beckoning Wei Xiaoge to take the porcelain jar she was holding, she exposed a few buns wrapped in coarse cloth in her other hand, and said, "It's nothing, it's just a chicken stew, and a few buns are brought over." ”

Stewed chicken, this is a dish that is only made when the family entertains distinguished guests, and Yuan is even more surprised.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cui unconsciously glanced at Wei Xiao'e with satisfaction, this girl is indeed as the old man said, her mouth is tight, and she didn't even say a word to her mother.

also told Yuan what happened in the morning.

And the reason why Wei Xiaoge hasn't told Yuan yet, is that he doesn't know if Yuan will have doubts about himself after saying it. I'm figuring out what to say to make sense.

At this time, seeing that Mrs. Cui said it, she said embarrassedly: "My daughter just helped Grandpa Zheng, I didn't expect grandpa and grandma to value it so much." ”

At that time, Wei Zheng said that he would let the family steam a few steamed buns, but he didn't expect to slaughter a chicken.

After listening to Wei Xiaogo's words, Yuan was embarrassed, and said that he couldn't deserve such a heavy thank you gift from Mrs. Cui, so she had to bring back the chicken in the crockpot.

Seeing that the Yuan family was hungry, but she still had such a backbone, she naturally looked down on their mother and daughter in her heart, and hurriedly said no. also said that these things can't be worth Wei Xiaogo's kindness in saving Wei Zheng's life.

After pouring all the chicken soup into the porcelain jar of Wei Xiaogo's house, and stuffing a steaming bun into Yuan's hand, Mrs. Cui took her leave.

Seeing this, Wei Xiaoge hurriedly sent it out.

Mrs. Cui's steamed buns are made of fine noodles, which are white and large, revealing the aroma of wheat. At that time, Mrs. Cui saw Wei Xiaogoose secretly swallowing saliva, and knew that she was afraid that she hadn't eaten such food for a long time.

It can be seen that she was not in a hurry to eat at this time, but followed her out of the room very politely, and unconsciously sighed in her heart that their mother and daughter were not in a good place.

With such a big family, Wei Dashan, the pillar of the family, was given military service again, or their mother and daughter would not have fallen to such a point.

Thinking about it, her eyes couldn't help but glance at the yard, and said to Wei Xiaogoe: "Little goose, your mother is not in good health, and your brother is small, so he can't be so cold that he can freeze." You have to prepare firewood for the winter as soon as possible! In previous years, when Wei Dashan was here, the firewood shed in the yard should have been full, but now it was empty, and she was anxious for the two of them.

These words happened to Wei Xiaogo's heart. She nodded, but there was a bit of helplessness on her face.

The matter of collecting firewood sounds simple, but the old Wei family's field is far away from the village, and she, a ten-year-old girl, can't carry it back and put it aside. There are a number of things over there, if Wei Xiaoge goes to get them without the consent of Wei Laogen and Mrs. Tian, maybe something will happen.

You can go to the hill behind the village to collect firewood, but there are wolves there, and the children in the village usually don't go that way.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cui also knew what was going on, so she said, "That's it, you know the piece of land near the head of the village, right?" There are still some firewood in there that haven't been completely brought home, so you can go and clean it up when you have time. "My own family has more labor than this family, so it's a big deal to go to the mountains to collect some firewood, but those firewood can keep Yuan's mother and daughter from freezing in the winter.

"Thank you, grandma." When Wei Xiaoge heard this, he hurriedly thanked him.

Seeing Wei Xiaoge's happy appearance, Mrs. Cui shook her head. This Wei Laogen family, such a good child, why doesn't he know to take good care of it?
