Xuan smiled and said, "You two hurry up, Tiankuo is waiting for you." ”

Zijun smiled and nodded, "It's okay right away, Zikang is still in the thatched house, wait for him, Qi'er, you go out and tell Brother Tiankuo, we will leave immediately, if he can't wait, let him come in and sit for a while." ”

Siqi nodded, ran towards the gate with a smile, Tiankuo stood outside with a schoolbag on his back, and couldn't help laughing when he saw Siqi, "Siqi, is your eldest brother and second brother okay?" Are they embroidering or applying makeup at home? ”

Siqi smiled and stuck out his tongue, "The second brother is in the thatched house, it will be fine soon, Brother Tiankuo will come in and wait." ”

Gu Tiankuo nodded, followed her in, went to the porch, and asked her, "You said yesterday that you wanted to borrow my big yellow dog, what are you for?" ”

"You'll know in the afternoon, Brother Tiankuo, you can promise me, you will lend it to me in the afternoon, and I'll look for you when you come back, okay?"

Tiankuo nodded, "What's wrong with this, our rhubarb won't bite you, and I'm here, don't worry." ”

When they arrived in the yard, Siqi went to help with the work, Tiankuo waited in the yard for a while, Zijun Zikang cleaned up, and the few of them went to school together.

Everyone in the Lin family also had to go to the ground, the field was not too busy, the children could stay at home, Zichen was too young and needed someone to take care of him, so the Wu family handed him over to Wanrong.

"Girl, you can take good care of Zichen at home, you must look at it, you like to run around the most when you are so big."

Wanrong smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, I have a few children at my second aunt's house, Zichen will definitely be able to take care of it if she is so well-behaved." ”

Xuan smiled and said, "That's hard and graceful." ”

The adults in the field can do the work in the family, and these children are busy at home, and on weekdays, they go up the mountain to collect firewood, prepare pigweed, wash clothes, sweep the yard, etc., which is not too much to do.

Of course, Zilong and Zijie can't be counted here, the two of them don't go home every day to play, running up and down the mountain and down the river, Du Shi is also relieved, and never says anything.

Wu was so worried that she couldn't do it, but she couldn't control these two children, and she really couldn't do anything.

At this time, the sun had just come out, and the three of them were washing pots and pans in the stove house, and they were tidying up, and one of them was carrying a back basket several sizes older than themselves, and they were about to go out.

"Sister-in-law, I'll take the two of them up the mountain to collect firewood, and the house will be handed over to you."

Wanrong nodded, "You can go without worry, I'm here." ”

Siqi said with a smile, "Eldest sister should also take me with me, there is a little aunt and my sister at home, just the two of them, I don't have anything to do at home, go with you to collect firewood." ”

Meng Shan smiled and said, "It's okay for you to rest, I've picked up a lot of firewood these days, it's enough to burn." ”

Siqi was unwilling, he had already taken the basket on his back, and turned back with a smile, "Sister, I followed the eldest sister and them to collect firewood." ”

Si Yao nodded, "Then you should be obedient and don't run around." ”

As soon as the words fell, Si Qidu was gone, she was now looking for all kinds of opportunities to go to the mountains, and where could she find business opportunities if she stayed at home all the time? It's such a big place.

Since Ra was struck by lightning, the family didn't worry about her going to the mountains alone, and now that no one is following, she can't go.

On the way up the mountain, Siqi asked with a smile, "Sister, let's come to collect firewood every day, there are a lot of firewood piles in the firewood room at home, it's enough to burn for a long time, right?" ”

Meng Shan nodded, "It's quite a lot, but where is there enough firewood, every family will move it to their homes when they are free, for fear that it will not be burned in winter, and then these things will be damp, and it will not dry it if you take it back to dry, it is rare to see the sun in winter, we don't have anything important to do at home, and we will come out to pick up more firewood when we are free." ”

Siqi tilted his head and looked at the three of them, this eldest sister is gentle, she is never in a hurry when she speaks, and she always treats their younger brothers and sisters with a smile, and she looks very comfortable.

She is already sixteen years old this year, and according to the habit of marrying at this time, she should be about to say goodbye.

The second Mengzhu and Wanrong Siyao are both of the same year, twelve years old this year, and they are considered big girls, but if they say they are married, they will have to wait for several years.

Speaking of the three of them, there was an interesting incident in the Lin family back then.

Wu's, Liu's and Xuan's are pregnant together, and they all have to have children, and many people outside say that their family is happy, but they gave birth to three girls before and after, and others don't speak.

At this time, it is a little embarrassing to have a girl, there are three more girls in the family a year, where is this to be congratulated?

But it's okay for the Lin family, the Wu family has many sons, only one daughter, and of course she is happy to add another one, and the Xuan family is the same, she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, which is a great thing, and this is also the first daughter, naturally I like it, but the Liu family is uncomfortable and gave birth to another girl.

Mengzhu's temperament is different from Mengshan, she doesn't talk much on weekdays, but she won't hold back her words at critical moments, just say it, Siqi still likes her temperament.

Little sister Menghuan is eight years old this year, one year younger than Siqi, her personality is a little contradictory, it can be seen that her personality is very lively, but because she has been bullied by Du and his two sons all the year round, she is a little timid, and she doesn't dare to say anything she wants.

A few people began to collect firewood in the mountains and forests, Meng Shan said, "Be careful, now that the weather is starting to get warmer, the insects in the mountains are coming out, listen to some movements, if something is wrong, hurry up and go to the other side, don't disturb it, you won't be fine if you don't mess with it." ”

Si Qi hummed, there are snakes in the mountains, of course she knows this, she is still very afraid.

Snakes are cold-blooded, but they generally don't bite, unless you pose a threat to it, it bites, there are many snakes in the mountains and forests, and there are many people who have seen snakes, but few have been bitten, that's why.

It's April now, the grass is lush, and what they want to pick up is not fresh firewood, but dead branches that fall in winter, drenched in the rain and dried in the sun, and so on, and now these dead branches have rotted, and it is time to take them back and burn them.

Siqi's purpose here is not just to collect firewood, she is not very familiar with the place she is in now, of course, she needs to observe more to know what good things are here.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and now that I am in the countryside, of course I have to think of more ways from this mountain.

After walking around the mountain for most of the day, everyone picked up a basket of firewood, and Siqi didn't find any special plants, she was not discouraged, which would be able to find an opportunity in a while, and it would take a lot of time.
