Because the family has separated, my mother-in-law doesn't often eat with us.

The mother-in-law lives in the second mother's house.

Originally, my mother-in-law and grandfather also lived next to my house.

At that time, we could say that we ate and lived together.

But soon after my grandfather died.

At that time, the second mother and the others were going out to work, and my cousin and cousins were worried that no one would take them, so the second mother found her sad mother-in-law to discuss and let her move in.

She said that the first is to keep her mother-in-law away from the sad place. The second is to let the children help divert the attention of the mother-in-law, so that she can think less about those sad things, and the third is to help their juniors share some pressure.

The mother-in-law agreed, and said very arrogantly, "You go out to work, and the children in the family will be handed over to me!" ”

At this time, the mother-in-law obviously came up not bored.

She was invited by her mother to discuss a big matter.

But what exactly is it? My sister and I are still in the dark!

They seem to be deliberately hiding it from us. Because they chatted, almost all of them talked behind our backs.

Several times, I wanted to sit in on it, but my mother pushed me aside.

I guess this has something to do with me and my sister!

Hmph, mom and mother-in-law definitely have secrets!

After lunch, my mother-in-law said that if there was something to do, I would go down first and come up later!

Mom didn't keep it, and happily let it go.

Mom has always maintained the habit of taking a lunch break. Even my sister and I take a lunch break most of the time.

But today, we're not going to take a lunch break! Mom doesn't force it, whatever my sister and I do, and doesn't interfere.

I just made 3 requirements, one is that we can't go with strangers! The second is to ask us to stay away from danger and not to play with activities such as fire and water. The third is to ask us to call her if we have something! Or ask someone for help!

She said that as long as we can do these three things, we can have free time to play!

For the sake of freedom, of course we can do it!

Standing at the door of my house, I was still thinking about what my mother said, when my second brother came up.

"Sister Yan, where is Sister Feng?"

As soon as the second brother came up, he raised the banana leaf in his hand and asked me triumphantly.

"Hmm~ Second brother. Sister, in the house! ”

I stared at my second brother, who was full of arms in my arms, and my curiosity was aroused.

Even my mother's words were forgotten by me.

"Then you go and call Sister Feng out!"

The second brother looked around as he spoke, and said, "Well, I'll wait for you in the pigsty house over there." As soon as the words fell, he hurried out.

"Hey~ Second brother! You haven't told me yet, what are you going to do there? ”

Looking at the back of the second brother in a hurry, I exclaimed urgently, and I didn't know if he heard it.

Forget it, I'll go find my sister!

When I called my sister and came to the vacant pigsty house, my second brother had already found a vacant lot in the pen and erected a simple small stove made of bricks and tiles.

"Sister Feng, you came just in time, did you bring matches?"

The second brother who was squatting on the ground didn't raise his head, and he was still picking up a small pile of firewood in his hand.

"Ah, no."

was suddenly called, and my sister subconsciously returned.

"Second brother, do you want to cook something?"

I buried my head in the small gate of the fence and ran over, squatting on the side of the small stove, looking at the second brother who was busy.

"Hmm~ Forget it, I'll go home! You two are waiting here! ”

The second brother nodded, stood up with a frown, and ran over the fence cut by the stone and ran outside.

My sister and I stood outside the circle gate, and we looked at each other, obviously we didn't understand what the second brother was selling.

In the pigsty house, there is a lot of space, in addition to the two large pigsty houses, there is a long corridor running through, and the place you can see is neat and tidy, there is no peculiar smell, enough to see the diligence of the owner of the house.

Because of the storage of firewood, there is also a wooden building on the beams of the house.

The wooden building is made of sturdy wooden sticks.

Usually, wooden buildings are also used to pile up some bundles of wood.

Taking advantage of the time when the second brother went out, my sister also stepped into the circle door and sat side by side with me on the stone trough, looking at the small stove built by the second brother and the things on the ground.

"Sister, what do you say the second brother is doing?"

I looked out of the pigsty house and said curiously.

"I don't know."

My sister followed my gaze and looked out.

"That sister, what did you say was in this black bag?"

I stared at something on the ground, curious.

"I don't know."

My sister still shook her head.

"Oh"

I thought that my smart sister could know something, but I was a little disappointed.

After a while, the second brother came back panting with a box of matches in his hand.

"I didn't have to wait too long! Sister Feng, Sister Yan. Your brother and I are running back and forth non-stop! Fast enough! ”

The second brother's face was full of ostentatious smiles.

"It's fast!"

My sister complimented.

"Uh-huh"

I stood up with my sister and nodded in agreement.

"That's, don't look at who your brother is!"

The second brother smiled even more proudly.

"Second brother, what are you going to do? Need ignition? ”

The elder sister apparently did not have the desire to continue to ignite the second brother's inflated heart.

"I'm going to make a good meal! Here for you to taste! ”

The second brother smiled mysteriously.

"Food? What is food? Sister? ”

I tugged at my sister's sleeve and whispered.

"Hmm~ it's delicious."

My sister thought for a moment and said.

"Haha, of course it's delicious! Silly sister! ”

The second brother rubbed my head and smiled even brighter.

Don't look at my young age, but my temper is not small! I heard my second brother say that I was stupid and ravaged the hair on my head.

Hmph, the head can be broken, the blood can flow, and the hairstyle can't be messed up!

I was about to pull down my second brother's big hand, but he took the lead in putting it down, and then went to work.

I was so angry that I had no choice but to pout, sit back on the stone trough, and silently watch my second brother and sister by the small stove, busy with their work.

The second brother first asked his sister to help him collect some firewood, because the pigsty house we were in was completely empty.

This is not difficult, because this pigsty house is a small warehouse for piling up firewood.

Then, my sister was sent by my second brother to sit next to me.

Then, we saw the second brother skillfully lighting a fire, putting a small iron box on the small stove set up by the fire, and carrying the black plastic bag on the side, lifting it and pouring it in.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but lean over and take a look.

It turned out to be some bulk white sugar and rock sugar.

"Second brother, are you going to burn them?"

The first time I saw it, I was burned with white sugar and rock sugar, and my eyes widened.

Second brother, this ...... Is this craving sugar water?

But sugar water, shouldn't it be washed with water?

Wait, maybe the second brother wants to put sugar first, and then add water to boil, right?

Can...... But what about water, water? I swept around, but there was no trace of water!

"That's right, brother, this is burning-pulling candy!"

When the second brother saw me looking east and west, he knew that I wanted to be crooked, so he had no choice but to explain.

"That's how Silkworm Candy did?"

My sister seemed to know about it, and she exclaimed in surprise.

Silkworm? What is it? I thought to myself.

The fire in the small stove slowly grew bigger, and the sugar in the iron box slowly melted.

The second brother's subordinates are stirring faster and faster. The room gradually filled with a sweet fragrance.

We watched the sugar change, from a crystal clear solid, to a yellow, clear liquid.

What surprised me the most was that it could pull out the silk!

While the fire was still burning, the second brother took out a few bamboo sticks from his arms, stirred them into the iron box, and then handed one to my sister and me.

I took it, held it in my hand, and my first reaction was not to eat it, but to play!

It's so much fun!

I held a bamboo stick in my left hand and my right hand, stirring it constantly, and soon it was pulled out by me into a long silver thread.

It's not just me who finds it fun, but my sister too.

Seeing us like this, the second brother smiled even more helplessly, but this time he didn't speak.

He tore open the plastic bag, put it on the ground, suddenly stood up, pulled out a banana leaf with a rhizome stuck in it from the gap in the stone fence, placed it on top of the plastic bag, and then picked up the tin box and poured in the silk candy that had been boiled.

"Second brother, what are you pouring it out for?!"

The silk candy was originally good and pretended, but it was poured out by the second brother at this time, and I was very puzzled.

"Sister, why are you so ...... Ahem, more questions! Just use your brain! This silk candy will freeze! If you don't pour it out early, it will stick to the iron box and will not be easy to wash off. ”

My sister depressedly explained to me for my second brother.

"Oh!"

Sorry, I don't read much, oh no, I haven't read yet. The brain spins slowly.

"Sister Feng, you're really smart!"

The second brother praised his sister without hesitation.

"That's right! My sister is the smartest! ”

Mom often compliments her like that! I'm honored!

"Yes, yes, Yan Mei is not stupid."

The second brother was accustomed to it, and the movements in his hands did not stop, so he casually praised me.

"Alright. Take this bag and eat it! I'll go first! I'll take you up the dwarf slope to play! ”

The second brother suddenly pushed the wrapped silk candy in front of me and my sister, quickly explained, and quickly climbed over the stone fence, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

“……”

My sister and I stayed where we were.
