In the evening, Xiaobao ran home crying.

Song Erniu is picking beans in the backyard, planning to make a fried beans with shredded meat at night.

As soon as I was halfway through the picking, I heard Xiaobao's cry and hurried to the front yard.

"What's the matter, who bullied you?"

Xiaobao loves cleanliness very much, and no matter what time of day he is, the clothes on his body are clean

If he accidentally gets dirty, he will run back and change to a clean one.

Today, Xiaobao is covered in dirt, as if he has just come out of the mire.

His eyes were red, and he wiped his face with tears and snot. At first glance, I was wronged.

Song Erniu went over, squatted down, and helped him wipe his face clean.

"Okay, stop crying, tell my mother what's going on."

"It's my uncle, my uncle is going to sell my sister."

Song Dalang's family has three children, the first two are sons, and the youngest is a daughter.

The youngest daughter is about the same age as Xiaobao, and the two will play together on weekdays.

It rained heavily some time ago, and Song Dalang's family came to live here.

Several children were playing together, coming and going, and they got acquainted with a lot.

Even if Song Dalang's family moved out later, Xiaobao and several people would run over to play with him.

After eating at noon today, Xiaobao took Erya to play with Erya and overheard about it.

Xiaobao didn't know what it was to sell at first.

took Erya back to find the eldest girl, the eldest girl didn't know anything else, but she knew about Xiaohua.

So I told Xiaobao about Xiaohua again.

Xiaobao was very happy when he heard it.

If Sanya comes to their house, they will often be able to play together in the future.

It's no different than before. So he smiled and went to play with Sanya again.

The three children played for an afternoon, and when they were about to have dinner, they were about to go home.

Xiaobao overhears the conversation between her aunt and uncle. It turned out that they didn't want to sell Sanya to their house, but to sell it to the county seat.

Xiaobao didn't know where the county seat was, but his father and mother had been there, and his father and mother said that the county seat was far away from them.

If Sanya goes, he will definitely not be able to come back.

Xiaobao was reluctant to Sanya, so he cried and ran back, and accidentally fell into the ditch to become like this.

Song Erniu frowned slightly after listening to her words.

She didn't expect that her eldest brother's family also had this idea. Unexpectedly, they wanted to sell Sanya to the county seat.

"Okay, mother, go and see the situation, don't cry first. Maybe there's room for maneuver in this matter? ”

Song Erniu appeased Xiaobao and got up to go to Song Dalang's house. Chu Mufeng came over, "Right now, apart from giving silver and food, what other way can you think of?" ”

But once this opening is opened, Song Erlang's family and even other relatives of the Song family will come over. When the time comes......

But if she doesn't, she will watch Sanya be sold.

Thinking of Sanya's small figure, Song Erniu looked reluctant.

The eldest girl, the second girl is her niece. Sanya is not. How could she watch him being sold. From now on, maybe you will never see your family again for the rest of your life?

But how to help, she didn't have any specific plans.

Chu Mufeng accompanied her to the village, the village was still the original village, but the faces of the people in the village had lost their original peace of mind and comfort.

It's more about worry and uneasiness.

Yes, the surplus food at home is getting less and less, but they can't think of any other way.

If you can be happy, if you can not worry.

In the past, she thought that the work that could never be done was the most tiring.

But now she found that compared to the endless work, not doing the work is the most tiring and panicked thing.

The former is at least hopeful, while the latter is only endlessly restless and overwhelmed.

"I know that after helping my eldest brother's family, we may not have a peaceful day, but if I don't help, I won't be able to feel at ease for the rest of my life."

Song Erniu hesitated for a long time and made a decision.

"Chu Mufeng, in fact, to tell the truth, I have been running away before, I am afraid of trouble, afraid of burden."

"So I don't want to think about it, I don't want to do more, I just want to guard my own one-third of an acre of land, take care of this family, forget it."

"I'm even worried about this happening, so I want to get out of here as soon as possible and move to a strange place."

"That way, even if something bad happens, I can tell myself with peace of mind that I don't know them."

"But for now...... That's my eldest brother, and it's my niece who is going to be sold. I really can't be light. ”

A gentle breeze blows, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines through the dappled leaves to the ground.

It paved the already quiet country road with a layer of mystery and loneliness.

"If you figure it out, just do what you want, and no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Chu Mufeng touched her head, and then smiled dotingly.

Song Erniu held her palm with her backhand, "If we do this, we really won't be able to leave here for a while." Do you really want to? ”

"Didn't I already make a decision?" Chu Mufeng smiled.

Then he continued with the topic, "Do you have an idea in mind?" ”

"Yes, the most fundamental problem at the moment is food. If we can solve this problem, Songjia Village will be able to sustain its life. ”

"You're right, but that's the biggest problem."

Yes, the disaster has not passed, and autumn will begin soon, and then it will be winter. Now the people are having a hard time.

After that, the winter will be more and more difficult. So he decided to take advantage of this time to choose some crops that were short-lived.

It can last for a while, it's a while. It's more terrifying than not knowing now if you'll be able to see the sun tomorrow.

While the two were talking, Song Dalang walked out of the house, and at this time, Song Dalang's face was solemn and his steps were messy.

Looks like it's going out. Where is he going so late?

"Erniu, why are you here, but what's the matter?"

Song Dalang was a little surprised when he saw the two. "Do you want to go in and sit down, your sister-in-law is at home."

"Big brother, I heard that you are planning to sell Sanya, why don't you tell me, didn't I tell you before, you can find me for anything?"

If she was Song Erlang, she might consider whether to help, but Song Dalang. She's willing to help.

"Now that life is difficult, I won't trouble you. Sanya ......"

"Instead of letting Sanya suffer with us, it is better to let Sanya go to a big family to enjoy happiness."

"In short, it's us who are parents who don't take good care of her. She wanted to blame us, and we confessed. Now, we just want him to live well. ”

Who said that men don't flick when they have tears. It's just not to the sad place.

Song Dalang wiped away a handful of tears and continued, "It's nothing, don't worry, Erniu. ”
