After crying for a long time, as if she had washed away all the sadness in her heart, Yun Xiu wiped her tears, washed her face, and went into the house with Sini to eat with her eyes red.

After the family finished doing white things, Erni was not in the mood to cook, and the leftover baskets during the day were not only distributed to the aunt and aunt who had a good relationship with the village, but also some for the village chief, and some leftovers, so they were hot and counted as dinner.

Even if the three of them have no appetite, Erniang can't starve because she has a big belly, and Si Ni still has to eat.

Yunxiu took the chopsticks handed by Erni, and habitually picked up the bowl and wanted to move it to the side to make room for it. At another look, there were only four people left in the family, and the table had four sides, which was just right.

Si Ni ate halfway through a bowl of rice, looked at everyone present, and put the bowl down.

"Why didn't Si Ni finish eating?" Sini has always had a good amount of food on weekdays, and the small bowl she ate was full of clean bowls, but today she only ate half a bowl and put it down, Erniang asked puzzledly.

"Daddy didn't come back, mine is for Daddy." When she went to the kitchen to serve food just now, she saw that the second sister had even washed the pot. When Daddy came back in the evening, he had nothing to eat and was hungry.

Erniang didn't speak, and after eating, she dropped the bowl and went back to the house.

Yun Xiu and her two sisters looked at each other, and they didn't know how to explain to their four-year-old sister that their father would never come back, this cruel fact.

Although Carpenter Yun has always longed for a boy when he was alive, in addition to chilling their sisters in the matter of letting Erniang and then letting them, in other places, in all fairness, it is good for the four daughters in the family, no matter which one of them has never been beaten or scolded since childhood.

has never been like other people's fathers, children are sent to marry when they are twelve or thirteen years old, in order to save a bite to eat for the family.

Even if Yun Dani came to the town to be a maid for others, it was because the family really couldn't open the pot. Even so, Yun Carpenter never thought of marrying his daughter in exchange for money.

In addition to wanting a son, Yun Carpenter, as a father, didn't say anything.

It is precisely because of this that his four daughters are also sincerely reluctant to have this father, even if he wants a son to inherit the family until he dies, his four daughters are reluctant to give up this father.

"Si Ni hurry up and eat, Daddy won't be back today." Erni rubbed the sea in front of Si Ni's forehead and asked her to finish the meal obediently.

"Why?" Sini doesn't understand, Daddy hasn't been out for three days, why doesn't he go home after going out in the afternoon?

"Because Daddy went far, far away." Yunxiu said.

"Liar!" Si Ni stiffened her nose, pointed at Yun Xiu and said, "The third sister is a liar! Don't be ashamed! You're still lying to people when you're so old. ”

"Your third sister didn't lie to you, really, Si Ni. Daddy, he's been far, far away, and he won't be back tonight. Seeing that Si Ni didn't believe it, Dani also spoke.

"The eldest sister is also a liar! I saw it with my own eyes this afternoon! ”

"What do you see?" Dani thought who said something to Si Ni that shouldn't have been said, and asked hurriedly.

"I see you planted Daddy in the ground!" Si Ni looked up with a little face, with a look that no one could deceive me, "You planted your father in the field, is it that in a few days, a lot of fathers will go out to work and make money to buy food for the family?" ”

The three sisters were speechless, and none of them knew how to speak.

Their sister is still so young that she can't understand the difference between planting a person and burying a person.

"Si Ni, finish eating, this is all bought by Daddy's hard work to go out to work for others to make money, Si Ni doesn't finish eating, Daddy's hard work will be wasted." Yun Xiu pushed the small bowl in front of her and said.

Si Ni nodded, Daddy said that it is not easy to make money, and it cannot be wasted.

Holding her small bowl, Si Ni obediently ate not a single grain of rice.

"Si Ni is so good." Erni pinched Si Ni's little nose and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

"Second sister, I'll help you." Si Ni also picked up her small bowl and helped Erni out.

There were only two people left in the room, Yunxiu and Dani.

In the summer, the house is sweltering, the sky is already dark, and the temperature of the day outside is slowly dropping.

"Eldest sister, I'll push you out for a walk." Yun Xiu proposed.

Yun Dani nodded, she happened to have something to say to Yun Xiu, and it was inconvenient to talk in the house.

Yun Xiu pushed Yun Dani and walked out of the gate. The long slope was too steep for Yun Dani to sit in a wheelchair, so the two of them turned to the path on the left, where there was a stone table and a few large stones to sit and rest.

"Yunxiu, after the family's affairs are dealt with, you should also go to work at other people's Gu Ye, other people's Gu Ye is kind, this time our father's white matter, thanks to others, can be done decently." Although Yun Dani's legs and feet are inconvenient, she is very sober in her mind, and she remembers who is looking at her family now.

The debt owed to people will have to be repaid in the future.

"Hmm." Yun Xiu also had this plan, Gu Liu lent her money and helped her, and she kept these things in her heart one by one.

"Yunxiu." Yun Dani picked at her fingernails, as if she had something to say but didn't know how to speak.

"Huh?"

After a long while, Yun Dani spoke, and continued: "After the child in Erniang's belly is born, I want to go out ......"

After speaking, Yun Dani bit her lip tightly, she was a little apprehensive in her heart, when she had this idea, she felt a little incredible, but she was inconvenient, she couldn't help take care of the children at home, and she couldn't give Erni a hand in the farm work.

She really doesn't want to be a burden at home anymore that only eats.

"What are you going to do for a living when you go out?"

Yun Xiu knew what the eldest sister was thinking, but after leaving this home, she was a peasant girl with limited mobility, and she didn't have any skills that she was good at, so what should she do for a living outside alone?

"I've done a job in the town, I can ......" It's big outside, there is always a job she can do to support herself, even if she goes out to beg for food, it's better than staying at home and dragging her sisters down.

"Do you still go to someone else's house to be a maid? What if you run into an employer like that again? Yun Xiu didn't wait for her to finish her words before interrupting.

"I can do laundry for others...... "The more Yun Dani said, the quieter her voice became, and she was afraid of running into another Huang master. One old man Huang asked for her two legs, and if there was another one, she would definitely lose her life.

"I don't agree." Yun Xiu decisively rejected Yun Dani's request, and got up directly to end this conversation. "It's windy, let's go back to the house."

Pushing Yun Dani's wheelchair, he walked to the house.

"Oh......" Knowing that Yun Xiu was unhappy and didn't want to quarrel with her over these things, Yun Dani had to answer stupidly.

Yun Xiu thinks her eldest sister is crazy!

When he ran away from home, if he hadn't stolen the melons in the field, he would have been picked up by Gu Liu in a daze. If she ran into the kind of employer in the town surnamed Huang, she might not be able to survive.

What's more, the eldest sister is in a wheelchair, even if she is given a chance, she can be lucky enough to meet a creditor like Gu Liu, but she is unable to move and can't even enter the watermelon field.

The next day, Yun Xiu came out of the house and went to Gu Liu. Before leaving, he secretly pulled Si Ni aside, and repeatedly told her to help watch the eldest sister, and once she looked up and couldn't see the eldest sister, she had to tell the second sister and the second mother immediately.

Although Sini is young, she is experienced in marking people, so she immediately nodded and agreed, this time she will definitely not make the eldest sister angry!

When Yun Xiu entered the yard, Aunt Li was cutting radishes in the house, looked at Yun Xiu through the kitchen window, and sighed. This child's life is hard, he lost his mother early, and now he has no father, and the loss is that he met the sixth master, and suddenly remembered the words of the sixth master, so he hurriedly took a pot and covered the chicken in the bucket under his feet.

"Cooking, Aunt Li." Yun Xiu greeted Aunt Li.

"Well, yes. When you came back to Yunxiu, the sixth master explained when he went to the ground, saying that you have to come back today and let you stew radish and pork rib soup. Aunt Li said from afar in the kitchen.

Gu Liu, this is an unpredictable prophet, not the one who has learned fortune-telling. Just pork rib soup? In the summer, the ribs are eaten Dafa, shouldn't you eat some chicken to be light? Yun Xiu muttered twice in her heart.

I went back to my room and changed into the clothes I was working in the field, and when I arrived in the yard, I found that it was a little different from usual.

Yun Xiu found that the chickens in the house were missing?

Those chickens were bought from the chicken vendors when Yun Xiu came to Gu Liu's place to work, and when I was a child, they were all yellow and clear, and they chirped behind Yun Xiu's buttocks, which was very cute.

When she grows up, the male can crow, and the hen can lay eggs, Yunxiu feels that she will develop well in the future, and she is counting on one egg a day.

However, Yun Xiu's family just had that incident, and she felt uncomfortable, so she didn't mention it.

"Aunt Li, did the sixth master go to the field or to the back mountain?"

"I saw that the sixth master picked up a hoe when he went out, and he should have gone to work in the field." Aunt Li leaned out of the kitchen and replied.

Yun Xiu nodded, also picked up a hoe, and went to the field to find Gu Liu.

When I arrived at Gu Liu's 'one acre of land', I saw a person from a distance, pouting his ass and picking something on the ground, looking like a chicken shaving food.

Yun Xiu walked forward in three steps and two steps, Gu Liu was digging things in a sand mound, heard footsteps approaching, and when she turned around, she saw that it was her.

"Done with the family?" Look, this girl is a lot more sober, she should have eased up.

"Hmm." Yun Xiu nodded and replied, life still has to be passed, and several sisters in the family also have to make money to support her, how can there be so much time for her to be sad and sad.

"Master, what are you doing?" Puzzled by Gu Liu's behavior, Yun Xiu asked.

"If you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest." Gu Liu was afraid that she would lose her father, and she was sad and uncomfortable.

"It's fine." Yun Xiu felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but when she was busy with work, if she didn't have time to make her uncomfortable, she would feel better.

Taking the shovel in Gu Liu's hand, Yun Xiu squatted down and continued to dig in the sand. After a while, something the size of a peach pit came out of it, and it looked like it had sprouted.

Yun Xiu took it in her hand and looked at it, looking familiar but not sure.

"Master, what is this?" It looks the same as a peach pit, but it's June, and the leaves of other people's peach seedlings have grown three or two, so how can there be peaches budding at this time.

Gu Liu knocked the hoe on the ground and sat on the hoe: "What do you suspect, it's the peach seedling." With a rare and strange look, he didn't forget to tell Yunxiu: "Be careful, don't shovel the buds for me." ”

This is what he has worked hard for three times and twice, and the gold is very expensive.

Yun Xiu thought about it, the watermelons planted by this person can ripen in April, and it is naturally not strange to raise peach seedlings on dog days.

What she didn't know was that this peach seedling was buried here by Gu Liu when it snowed a few years ago, and she was afraid that she would forget the place, so she put a stone on it to mark it.

I didn't think about it, after a long time, the marked stone might be too small, and I don't know where it was blown by the wind or was kicked away by Gu Liu himself.

In March and April, Gu Liu came to plant peach trees with a basket and a hoe, and walked around the field for three or four times but couldn't find where the peach seedlings he raised went.

I dug the ground with a hoe, but there was nothing to be seen.

Gu Liuye is also a temperamental person, so he couldn't find it and didn't plant it, so he put it aside.
