Yan Nian swept the yard while boiling water, and the little brothers finished taking a bath, lay down comfortably, and fell asleep after a while.

At this time, it was already dark outside, Yan Nian packed up his belongings, locked the door, and entered the house, and the door was also closed.

The little milk dog was put in the pigsty by Yan Nian tonight, and Yan Nian thought that if something happened to the piglet, the puppy would bark.

Yan Nian went back to the room and saw that the children were sleeping quietly, so she filled a basin of warm water in the outhouse and prepared a bath by herself.

On this day, he and Feng Shuang squatted on the side of the road, people and cars came and went, and they didn't wash their faces at night, it was really dirty.

Yan Nian doesn't like to sleep like this, and he is very clean in modern times, and every time he finishes a task, he will take a hot shower.

Yan Nian was washing while thinking, but the two children could sit in the big basin, and Yan Nian could only stand and wash.

Just as Yan Nian was about to wipe his body, he suddenly felt a black shadow lying on the back window, Yan Nian quickly put on his clothes, and ran to the back window to look, it was very dark outside, Yan Nian didn't see what it was, Yan Nian shook his head and returned to the basin.

However, he didn't dare to wash it anymore, and Yan Nian wasn't sure if this person saw himself in the house.

After a simple wipe, he cleaned up the kang and lay down.

After blowing out the oil lamp, Yan Nian lay on the kang, still thinking about the black shadow that escaped just now.

I couldn't sleep for a while, so I simply put on my clothes, quietly opened the door, stood under the eaves, looked into the yard, and looked around the house with an oil lamp, and confirmed that no one was relieved to go back to the room.

This night, Yan Nian slept so soundly, and there was no sound in the pigsty.

In the morning, Yan Nian woke up early and walked to the pigsty.

In the pigsty, the puppy wagged its tail and watched Yan Nian open the door and run to the yard, Yan Nian saw that the seven little pigs were safe and sound, and the sow was also quietly lying on the pig kang humming and didn't want to get up, Yan Nian hurriedly turned around and went back to the room to feed the little sow breakfast.

After being busy for a long time, Yan Nian poured the remaining broth from last night into the pot again, grabbed some flour, and made it into a pimple shape, not big, and a small pot of pimple soup came out of the pot.

Yan Nian ate a little, put the rest on the kang in the house, and waited for the two little ones to wake up and eat.

He carried a pickaxe and a basket and took a sickle, and walked to the gate.

Yan Nian is going to get some gourds today and continue his water hyacinth business.

As soon as he walked to the gate, Yan Nian saw Feng Shuang coming over with Xiaobao in his arms, and when he saw Yan Nian coming out, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Sister Yan Nian, you got up so early?" ”

Yan Nian hurriedly said, "You are also very early, why, Xiao Lan'er has also woken up?" ”

Feng Shuang nodded, "I didn't wake up, let me wake up, Sister Yan Nian, are you going up the mountain to get a gourd again?" I'll get it with you, I can't take the money and not work, can I? ”

Seeing Feng Shuang like this, Yan Nian said with a smile: "Your child is small, and no one looks at you, I want to go by myself, since you are here, then you can put Xiao Lan'er in my house." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and led Feng Shuang home.

Lan'er saw that she came to Yan Nian's house again, and there were still two brothers and sisters on the kang who hadn't woken up, so she obediently lay down beside Yanyan.

Yan Nian said with a smile: "Look at how sensible your Lan'er is. ”

Xiao Yanyan heard the sound of talking, opened her sleepy eyes, and saw Lan'er beside her, and immediately laughed, "Lan'er, when did you come?" ”

Xiao Nuo Nuo woke up, looked at his mother, and asked, "Mother, are you going up the mountain again?" ”

The three children were instructed, and two of them walked up the hill one after the other.

Feng Shuang dragged the iron pickaxe on Yan Nian's shoulder and said, "Sister Yan Nian, I'll take it, I didn't take the basket when I left in a hurry." ”

Yan Nian said with a smile: "It's okay, my big basket is full of mountain vegetables, and it's enough for us to eat." ”

When the two of them walked to the side of the mountain, they saw He Wang again.

He Wang's family raised a few chickens and was feeding them in the yard, when he saw Yan Nian and Feng Shuang coming over, he hurriedly looked up.

Yan Nian hurriedly lowered his head and whispered to Feng Shuang: "Don't look at him, let's go." ”

Feng Shuang also knew that this He Wang was a little too naughty, so he also lowered his head and followed Yan Nian's back to the mountain.

He Wang hurriedly shouted: "Look at you two little widows, you have gone up the mountain so early, you are really hardworking." ”

Yan Nian glared at He Wang, but still didn't speak, and walked up the mountain.

When he arrived at the mountain, Yan Nian told his footsteps and said: "This He Wang outpatient clinic is so old, his wife is still anxious to tell him about his mother-in-law, it is really a little difficult to do!" ”

Feng Shuang said: "Sister Yan Nian, in fact, I think it's good for him to live by himself like He Wang, why do you want to find a mother-in-law?" And life is so difficult, I can't find a mother-in-law, so that the family and him will suffer. ”

Yan Nian nodded and said: "People, I just can't think about it, I have to live according to the traditional concept, and when I reach a certain age, I have to find my mother-in-law to have a baby, if I don't do this, I will be laughed at by the world and said that I am incapable, and I live to say that no one wants a woman." ”

"Yes, I really live in other people's mouths, and I don't have the life I want at all."

Feng Shuang said as if he had realized something.

The two men went deeper into the woods again.

Yan Nian found the place where he saw a gourd last time, and when he saw a gourd full of vines, Feng Shuang said in surprise: "Sister Yan Nian, these gourds are enough for us to sell water many times." ”

"Well, it's okay if they can be sold for a summer."

Feng Shuang thought about it and said: "When the water hyacinth is sold, it will not be hot, and it will be sold out." ”

Yan Nian nodded worriedly and said, "Yes, when the time comes, let's think about doing some business to make some money." ”

As the two of them spoke, they were busy cutting the gourd vine down.

Suddenly, Yan Nian smelled a smell of smoke and hurriedly asked Feng Shuang: "You smell it, why do I smell a smell of smoke and fire?" ”

Feng Shuang was busy also raising his nose and sniffing, "Well, Sister Yan Nian, I also smelled it." ”

At this moment, Yan Nian shouted in shock: "It's not good, look at it, it's on fire in the back!" ”

Feng Shuang looked in the direction of Yan Nian's finger and shouted, "Oops! Hurry! What can I do with these gourds? ”

Yan Nian shouted as he dragged a handful of rattan sticks to the fire next to him.

However, in this scorching summer, there are dry artemisia grass everywhere, and when they encounter a little spark, they spread rapidly, Yan Nian and Feng Shuang no longer have the ability to put out the fire, there is no water source around them, and the mountain spring water is still far away from them, so they can only watch the piles of gourds turn into ashes.

Yan Nian looked around like crazy, she wanted to find the cause of the fire.

At this time, I saw Huai Ge Linzi walking in outside, and saw Yan Nian's blue eyes shining around, and hurriedly asked, "Yan Nian, what are you looking for?" ”
