35. Two conditions
They showed embarrassed expressions and carefully discussed with the little sister, "Little sister, do you think it's okay if this is the case?" The first one we promised, and the second one was a little more rebellious.
It's up to us to convince your parents and let them take you there, you see that my brothers are rough all day long, mainly because we are afraid of losing you. ”
Xiao Qi laughed when he heard this, looked at the eldest brother and the second brother looking at her hopefully, and smiled "duh".
"No, if my brother doesn't take me to sell game, forget it, I don't want to go yet." After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Hey, little sister." Watching the little sister go farther and farther, the two brothers gritted their teeth, "Isn't it okay if we agree?" "It's just that they start to regret it when they are behind the words.
Xiao Qi turned around calmly, "Didn't you agree a long time ago?" It's not for you to sell your body, it's so bitter and hateful, don't worry, if anything happens to the eldest brother and second brother, I will protect you. ”
"After breakfast, remember to shout at me when you leave, big brother, don't forget to avoid Jinxiu, this girl is too tight, I'm going to find my mother, big brother and second brother will take care of themselves."
Xiao Qi, who turned around, had a mischievous smile on his face, it's good to go to town! She has grown up to go to the town only a handful, it would be better if she went to the county, she hasn't been to the county yet, not to mention, she really wants to go.
The two brothers looked at the back of Xiao Qi and Liya walking away, and watched helplessly.
"Let's go, go back and freshen up, and sweat from practicing with my grandfather."
The two brothers walked to the backyard with their shoulders loose and went back to the room to freshen up.
Here, Xiao Qi went to his mother's room first and found that his mother was not in the room, so he could only be in the backyard.
I came to the backyard with sharp teeth, where Zhenniang was washing her and her father's clothes, and the third sister-in-law was also feeding the livestock in the yard, and I didn't see the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, and I guessed that they were preparing breakfast in the kitchen?
Xiao Qi walked over quickly, shouted to the third sister-in-law first, and then walked towards his mother.
"Mother, what about the laundry? I'll help you. As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and was going to wash with his mother.
Sharp Tooth, who had been following her, found something more interesting and went straight to the livestock in the backyard to show its presence.
"Alright, you go play. There are not a few clothes in total, just wash it yourself, don't get the clothes wet again when you go back, and the mother has to wash one more piece. ”
Xiao Qi: "Mother, you underestimate me too much, aren't you just doing laundry?" I've seen you wash you for a few years, and you've learned it a long time ago, and you won't get your clothes wet. ”
Without waiting for Lu Weishi to speak, he picked up a piece of his own clothes and began to rub them.
Lu Weishi looked at his daughter's decent scrubbing, so he didn't speak again, forget it, let her wash it, if it's not clean, go back and wash it again.
Xiao Qi carefully scrubbed the clothes in his hands, and didn't forget to ask his mother why she came back with her father yesterday?
"Mother, what did you do in town yesterday?"
"Mother went to sell embroidery yesterday, and by the way, I chose some embroidery cloth and embroidery thread, looking at the time just in time for your father and your third brother to get out of school.
My mother went to the academy to come back with your father and brother, did you come back from the back mountain and didn't find your mother? I miss my mother. Lu Weishi smiled and gently tapped his daughter's nose with his hand.
Xiao Qi nodded again and again, "My mother is at home, and I will feel at ease." ”
"By the way, mother, I'll go to the back mountain with my eldest brother and second brother after dinner, and I won't tell you when I leave."
Lu Wei's hand washing clothes paused, and he looked at his daughter helplessly, her temperament looked very stable, why couldn't she stay at home.
"Xiao Qi, didn't you just go there yesterday? Why do you still go? It's better to learn from me at home, you can't even make clothes when you see that you're older, right? Besides, no matter how much prey there is in the back mountain, it can't resist you going every day! ”
"Mother, don't worry, I'm sure I'm going to be a girl, don't I still have you? I'm going with my brother this time, and my brother won't go at all if he wants to use a sharp tooth without me following a sharp tooth. ”
Wei looked at her daughter speechlessly, she had already seen through her little thoughts, but she didn't want to detain her daughter.
In the end, he said, "Okay, although your brothers are following, don't go too deep, you know?" ”
Lu Weishi still couldn't help but tell her daughter, don't look at her daughter, but her courage is not small, no, it should be said that it is too big.
"Hmm," Xiao Qi smiled sweetly at Lu Wei's and continued the scrubbing action in his hands.
"Mother, do you see that my clothes are clean?" As he spoke, he showed the clothes in his hand in front of his mother.
Lu Weishi looked at it, "It's okay, it's almost enough to rub the neckline and cuffs again." ”
After a while, the mother and daughter washed the clothes in the wooden basin and dried them.
The third sister-in-law also prepared the food for these animals, and was walking towards the pigsty at home with the food.
Xiao Qi was actually very interested in feeding the livestock, and hurriedly said to his mother, "Mother, I'll help the third sister-in-law." ”
Take two quick steps and pick up a pot of chicken food and walk towards your chicken pen, and easily pour them into the two wooden basins where the chickens eat.
Both the rooster and the hen scrambled to eat, and the wooden basin was tightly surrounded in the middle, and the whole process was buried in hard work, without even lifting their heads.
After a while, Xiao Qi shifted his attention to the stable, except for the sharp teeth of the animals in the house, the favorite was the maroon red horse in the stable.
Because it is jujube red, my father directly named it Red Jujube, the name is very down-to-earth, it is a stallion, tall and strong, majestic, and its daily work is to be responsible for sending my father, third brother and eldest nephews to the academy.
Walking to the stable, the third sister-in-law poured the food into the manger, and then added water to the drinking trough on the side.
Seeing the arrival of the little sister, the third sister-in-law did not forget to say while adding water: "Xiaoqi, the stable is a little dirty, I haven't cleaned it yet, you be careful." ”
"I know the third sister-in-law, if I don't clean up in the stable, the third sister-in-law, you will go and do the rest, right?"
"No, my mother would be angry if she knew that I asked you to clean the stables." Liu disagreed. What line is this? Xiao Qi is in the eyes of his father, but he is afraid of falling in his hand, and he is afraid of melting in his mouth.
"It's okay, third sister-in-law, I'm older now, I just helped my mother wash clothes, and besides, I have a lot of strength, this little work is nothing to me, okay, it's decided, third sister-in-law, you go and see the others." With that, Xiao Qi pushed the third sister-in-law away from the stable.
Liu really has no way to take Xiao Qi, although this child is young, but if she decides on something, it is difficult for anyone to change her mind.
The third sister-in-law left helplessly, but fortunately, the stable was not too dirty, and the little sister should not be tired, so she was relieved to do other things when she thought of this.
Seeing the third sister-in-law leave helplessly, Xiao Qi smiled secretly in her heart.
Take the wooden lift into the stable, shovel the horse manure into the side of the dung bucket, the dung will be stored, put in a special corner of the backyard, into fertilizer, and keep it for later fertilization of the field.
She swept the stables with a broom, filled the damp areas with fresh soil, and sprinkled some white ash to disinfect them.
After all this, looking back, the stable was suddenly much cleaner, and it seemed that he was really a good worker.
After doing this, the red date also happened to finish eating the food, looking at her curiously, Xiao Qi walked up to it in a few steps, and gently stroked its back with his hand.
The red dates are very docile and do not reject her touching, and even took the initiative to put their heads in front of her hand.
Xiao Qi was happy, but she was too short, otherwise she would really want to try the taste of horseback riding.
Imagine riding a horse galloping in the back mountain, the surrounding scenery moving rapidly, the hair being blown high, and the colorful glow reflecting the sunset, isn't it a beautiful picture? Isn't it enviable?
It's a pity that I can only think about it now, Xiao Qi looked at his little hands helplessly, he was still too small.
