Qi Jiuli's enthusiasm for picking charcoal is getting higher and higher, not only because of the factor of reflection, but also because of the impact of height, no money means that you can't eat enough, and if you don't eat enough, you will definitely not grow tall, so the goal now is very clear, that is, to make money, and now the only hope for the family is charcoal.

Qi Sansheng went back and forth four or five times, and finally filled the kitchen water tank.

"Third cousin, you drink a bowl of warm water and rest." Qi Jiuli brought the warm boiled water that had been cooled in a pottery bowl to Qi Sansheng, her eyes were full of gratitude, she tried the taste of carrying water, of course she understood the hard work of this life.

"Huh." Qi Sansheng snorted a few times, and a bowl of water went down, "Jiuli, the third cousin is relieved to see you like this, in fact, it's not a big deal if you don't remember, happiness is the most important thing, even if you think about it later, don't be sad." ”

Qi Jiuli smiled and nodded, of course she wouldn't be sad, after all, the sad Qi Jiuli was gone, and in the future, she would be the happy Qi Jiuli at home, helping the original body to protect her family, so that the original body should have no regrets.

"The third cousin has gone back." Qi Sansheng put down the bowl, picked up Bucket Nine and walked out.

Qi Jiuli waved his hand to Qi Sansheng, and returned to sit down on the wooden pier again.

"Sister, look." Qi Shixiang ran in excitedly from outside, with an egg lying in each of her palms, "The chickens at home have laid two eggs, I thought it would not lay so cold, but I didn't expect it, it's really good." ”

Eggs, this is a farmer's authentic stupid egg, nutritious, and a good thing to replenish the body, Qi Jiuli thinks that good things should be eaten in his stomach, but when he sees Qi Shixiang's face full of joy and cautious appearance, he can't say anything after eating it.

"Sister, I'll take it to the house and hide it, and when we go to the town to sell charcoal, we will also take the eggs we have accumulated and sell them." Qi Shixiang said happily, Qi Jiuli nodded, glad that he didn't say anything that shouldn't be said for the sake of appetite.

Qi Jiuli knew that if she said that she wanted to eat eggs, Qi Shixiang would definitely make them for herself, from when she was sick, she had exclusive white rice porridge, from Aunt Tianhua when she gave an egg and they wanted to eat it only for themselves, never let herself work tired, from those two pickle cornmeal tortillas......

Although Qi Jiuli has always been a big grin on the outside, in fact, she is very delicate in her heart, probably because of her shallow family relationship, she is very moved by such a sincere treatment, and it has only been a few days since she came to this home, but every detail of their treatment of herself moved her.

This day is destined to be a busy day, a large part of the water in a water tank picked by Qi Sansheng was boiled, and the rest was used to extinguish the charcoal sparks, and then the cold water in a tank became hot, in order not to waste this boiled water, Qi Shixiang took advantage of his free time to wash all the things that could be washed inside and outside the house.

Qi Sansheng almost took turns carrying water at home and Qi Jiuli's house, the water tank was empty and full, full and empty, such frequent water carrying ordinary people would definitely ask a few more words when they saw it, fortunately, the weather is still cold now, and most people stay at home, even if they come out, they will not always come out, so when they see Qi Sansheng carrying water, they only see one or two trips like this, which is not a strange thing.

Qi Shan, Qi Yifei and Qi Qizhu, who chop wood on the mountain, are the most tired Qi Shan, he not only cuts down trees, but also carries them home, Qi Yifei will also go back and forth a few times, as for Qi Qizhu, Qi Shan and Qi Yifei are a little reluctant, after all, people who are going to study tomorrow, if they are so tired that they can't even hold the pen, how can it be good.

Although Qi Qizhu is studying, he can basically do the work at home, but he really hasn't done such a big job as cutting trees, he has taken the machete for a morning, and there are already blood blisters in the palms of his hands, but even so he didn't stop, he still struggled to chop with his left hand, anyway, it was the right hand that was writing, and it didn't affect it.

Qi Shan and Qi Yifei didn't find out at first, but when they found out, both of them felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, this child is so stubborn, in the final analysis, because he has no father and mother to protect him.

After Qi Shan and Qi Yifei found out, they didn't let Qi Qizhu continue to cut down trees, and when Qi Shan carried the wood down the mountain, he brought Qi Qizhu back.

"Qizhu, you are now the eldest in the family, you have to take care of your younger siblings, your body is good, you don't need to worry about things at home, with the help of your uncle and your cousins, if you want your younger brothers and sisters to have a better life, studying hard is the most important thing, and it is also the confidence to let the family be looked down upon, so sometimes you can't be too strong in doing things." Qishan Education Road.

"You're going to private school tomorrow, and you're going to meet Yu Haotian, what are you going to do?" Qi Shan asked.

Qi Qizhu was silent for a moment before saying, "Uncle, Qizhu understands in his heart that our family has nothing to do with the Yu family, just a stranger, I won't deal with him, and I won't conflict with him, of course, provided that he doesn't ruin Jiuli's reputation." ”

Qi Shan was very relieved to hear this, "You are a good boy." ”

The freshly cut tree, even if it was specially found to be a dry one, it had not been exposed to the sun, and it was still very big smoke, Qi Jiuli and Qi Shixiang took turns to stay in the kitchen and change hands, otherwise they couldn't stay with sincerity all the time, it was too choking.

For dinner, Qi Shan asked Qi Jiuli not to do it, when Shen Shi, Ren Xue'er carried a basket to deliver the meals, today's staple food is Erhe noodle steamed buns, mixed with white flour in cornmeal, and fermented with old noodles, which is very fluffy and delicate, and then accompanied by a large pot of potato chip soup, which is very satisfying.

Ren Xue'er brought Qi Jiuli and them eight steamed buns, one steamed bun was the size of an adult's outstretched hand, and the potatoes were full, Qi Jiuli knew that the uncle's family had counted tomorrow's breakfast.

"By the way, we will dry all the charcoal we made today overnight at night, and we will go to the town to sell it early tomorrow morning." Ren Xue'er also brought what her in-laws decided, "Ming'er's father-in-law will borrow a donkey cart, and Qizhu, you will also take a donkey cart to the town." ”

Qi Qizhu nodded and said yes, and personally sent the sister-in-law to the door.

The four brothers and sisters gathered around the table of eight immortals, one of them ate a big steamed bun, and then drank a large pot of potato chip soup to the bottom, and Qi Shixiang washed the wooden basin with his hands and feet.

The remaining four steamed buns, Qi Shixiang put them in a bamboo basket, and covered them with a bamboo basket, and carefully put them in the cupboard.

"By the way, brother, Ming'er, you're not going to a private school, so go sell charcoal, which of us will follow?" Qi Shiyi asked.

"Me." Qi Jiuli immediately raised his hand to signal, and Mao recommended himself, "I want to go." ”

"Sister, you don't remember, what if you get separated?" Qi Shixiang frowned, her face full of worry.

Qi Jiuli was helpless, no matter how much she had in her body, she was a mature woman, but only she knew about it, "I'm thirteen, except for my brother, I'm the oldest, not to mention that I want to go out and have a look." ”
