Xiaoshan and Shishi were already waiting at the door with their small baskets on their backs, and at this moment Shishi was stretching his neck and staring curiously at the little wolf cub lying on his back in the small mountain basket, wanting to touch it but not daring to touch it, "Xiaoshan, is this the dog you picked up?" Why haven't I seen it? It's so good-looking. ”

Xiaoshan nodded like garlic, feeling a little flattered that his stone cousin, who had never been a fan of him, and would even bully him with others, took the initiative to talk to him.

The stone's eyes lit up, and he had to move forward, "Then can I play with it?" Can I touch it? ”

Xiaoshan nodded, then hesitantly shook his head, he wanted to say that Bai Bai might not like stones touching it.

The stone asked politely, regardless of Xiaoshan's shaking of his head, he reached out to the back basket to grab the little wolf cub, but before he could catch it, the little wolf cub lying on his back with a hunched body showed his teeth and grinned at it, and he was really scary as a 'little puppy', Shen Shuang clearly heard the sound of Wangwang, and the stone was also frightened and fell to the ground.

Shen Shuang, who hadn't reached the door yet, paused, she was sure that she heard the sound of a bark, thinking that the little thing in vain must be about to become a sperm, otherwise she wouldn't have learned to bark.

When she walked to the gate of the yard, she saw that the stone was so frightened that she fell to the ground, and after being helped up by Xiaoshan, she spoke very aggrievedly, and she didn't dare to tease the little wolf cub again, "Xiaoshan, why is it so fierce?" Could it be so fierce to you, too? ”

"You'd better not tease it, or don't blame it for biting you."

Shen Shuang directly took the question of the stone, and then raised the sickle in his hand and pointed in the direction of the mountain, "Let's go, let's go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, you, lead the way." ”

The family has a large population, the vegetables grown in the vegetable garden are not enough to eat, and the old Shen family can't afford to eat meat, so they can only run to the mountains every day to find wild vegetables, of course, their family is not a special case, the mountains are full of people looking for wild vegetables, although the children of all sizes mainly want to find wild fruits as snacks, but they are still very active in finding wild vegetables.

Shi's age is already able to serve as the labor force of half an adult in the countryside, but because the two elders of the Shen family and the Xiao Wan couple have spoiled him since childhood, he has an eldest brother Shen Zhuzi who takes care of the family's work, although he occasionally helps the family get some firewood, it is only a whim that he will help.

After Xiao Wanshi asked him to wash his clothes and caused several clothes to flow away with the stream, Xiao Wanshi no longer dared to let him touch his clothes, at best, he went to the stream to catch river clams.

At this time, he was called to pick wild vegetables, and Shi was still very happy, and children of his age only followed the older children in the village or some younger children who liked to follow him around every day, such as going up the mountain to pick fruits and vegetables, and swimming in the stream to catch fish. It was at this time that the stream was cold, and the adults did not plunge into the water because of the detention of the half-grown children in the village.

Hearing Shen Shuang's words, the stone scratched his head and said okay, and glanced at the little wolf cub lying in the basket with greed, then picked up the small hoe on the ground on the side and walked forward, and said cautiously, "Sister Xiaoshuang, why don't we go to the southern hillside?" There are the most wild vegetables there, and there are many wild fruits, and I know of a path that leads to a small mountain stream, and there are fish in the stream. ”

Shen Shuang looked at him and didn't speak, the stone was a little worried inexplicably, but in fact, he admired her inexplicably in his heart, he remembered that yesterday's pheasant was picked up by her on the mountain, so he changed his mind again, "Sister Xiaoshuang, where did you pick up the pheasant from yesterday, why don't you go there to pick it up again?" I think the pheasant is delicious. ”

Shen Shuang glanced at him with a smile, but ignored his words, "Just go to the hillside you said and lead the way." ”

The stone was a little lost, but he didn't say anything, and the three of them walked towards the south, but the stone scratched his head and scratched his ears to know where Shen Shuang picked up the pheasant, "Sister Xiaoshuang, can you tell me where to pick up the pheasant?" I'll go up to the mountain tomorrow to pick it up, and maybe I'll be able to catch a rabbit and raise it. ”

Shen Shuang frowned, why did she think that although this stone was older than Xiaoshan, it was much more stupid than Xiaoshan?

Thinking of this, she suddenly became interested in telling stories, "Stone, have you ever heard someone tell a story?" ”

Stone looked confused, "Story? What's a story, Sister Xiaoshuang? I heard Aunt Wang at the head of the village say yesterday that the widow at the end of the village stole her family's man and was shameless, is this a story? ”

Shen Shuang: "......" Why is it not suitable for such children, but fortunately, this kid is stupid.

"Ahem, a story is a story, what you hear is a curse, not a story, how about I tell you and the Xiaoshan brothers a story about waiting for the rabbit?"

Shi and Xiaoshan glanced at each other, the latter nodded again and again with some excitement, and the former became a question that he didn't understand, "Sister Xiaoshuang, what do you mean by waiting for the rabbit?" ”

"Waiting for the rabbit is what you just said, picking up the rabbit."

"It's fun, I want to hear it."

"Shut up if you want to listen, and ask questions when I'm done."

"Oh."

"Once upon a time there was a man ......"

The story is very short, Shen Shuang appropriately added branches and leaves according to the acceptance of these two boys, and told the story while walking, after telling it, both of them were very curious about the result, Xiaoshan was so anxious that he didn't know how to express his problem, but Shi was very excited.

"I know, Sister Xiaoshuang, you're that person, aren't you? When will you pick up the rabbit? Stone wants to eat rabbit meat, and rabbits are definitely better than pheasants. ”

Shen Shuang frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with the stone on the topic of everything that can be eaten, but looking at him, he was still able to eat, but he was very thin.

"That person is not me, and the idea that that person doesn't work all day thinking about getting something for nothing is shameful, and guess what the end result will be?"

Xiaoshan shook his head tangled to show that he didn't know, Shen Shuang looked at the stone, and he hurriedly spoke, "I know, I know, he must be like my mother said, he is too hungry to go to the river to drink water so that he doesn't have to starve to death." ”

Shen Shuang lost the desire to answer him, rolled his eyes and turned his head back to teach Xiaoshan, "Xiaoshan, those ideas that think about getting something for nothing all day long will not work, and in the end they will definitely starve to death." And we also have to think that the rabbit may only pass by the tree occasionally, and we have to learn to be flexible, and the tree moves the dead and the living, can you understand? ”

After Shen Shuang finished speaking, she didn't know if this knowledge was profound, but after saying it, she didn't expect him to understand it immediately, so she let him think about it.

As she spoke, the three of them walked through the ridges, many villagers were working in the fields, and Shen Shuang was inevitably pointed at again, but she could feel that the eyes of those who were pointing at her were not malice, probably just curious about her chubby size.

Shen Shuang walked with her head held high, and she didn't have the mentality of being watched by others or embarrassed at all, she walked hers, others looked at others and said other people's, and they didn't interfere with each other.

She saw that there were a lot of Qingming vegetables and a lot of herbs growing on the ridge here, Shen Shuang recognized the plantain and took a look at it, and it was useless for her to ask for this, so she didn't look too much, and led the stones and hills behind her towards the south slope without squinting.

Xiaoshan is well-behaved, the stones are happy, and he picks up a few small stones and throws them around after walking two steps to delay time, and after Shen Shuang turned his head and looked at him coldly, he didn't dare to mess around.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Shen Shuang looked at the hillside in the direction of their destination from a distance, and the mountains were full of pink, she raised her eyebrows in surprise, and pointed in the direction of the hillside with a sickle, "Stones, are those peach trees?" ”

"Yes, the south slope is a big forest, full of peach trees, but those peach trees have not yet borne fruit, there are no peaches to pick at this time, there are only some wild dates and loquat over there and no wild vegetables, we have to go to the north slope, there is a small mountain stream."

Shen Shuang nodded thoughtfully, and then ignored his words, "Let's go to the peach grove on the southern slope first, and then go to the northern slope to pick wild vegetables." ”

Shi Shi was stunned, but he didn't dare to say anything, just Shen Shuang's size was enough for him to obey obediently.

When the three of them went to the south slope, they met many girls who came out to pick wild vegetables together in the village, and some of them who recognized the stone and the hill quickly guessed Shen Shuang's identity, plus some of her things have been spreading in the village these days, and many girls looked at her with concern.

They are all simple girls in the village, and many people take the initiative to greet her despite curiosity.

"You're Xiaoshan's sister, aren't you? My family also lives on the edge of the village, not far from your house. ”

"Hello."

"Are you going up the southern slopes to pick fruit? There aren't many fruits over there, it's all peach blossoms, so you'd better go to the north slope. ”

"Thanks, but let's take a look."

"Nacheng, you guys go, I have to continue digging wild vegetables."

Shen Shuang had a good impression of this girl, wearing blue cloth clothes and carrying a basket containing a lot of wild onions and shepherd's cabbage.

However, there were also some who came over and didn't know what the purpose was, so they walked up to her and asked writhingly, "You, you are the Xiaoshan who has been exchanged with Forsythia since childhood, his sister, right?" I, I know Forsythia, the two of us are, good friends. ”

Shen Shuang blinked, listening to her struggling to eat and talk, and when she finished speaking, she didn't know what she was trying to say when she stepped forward to stop her, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

"I, I want to ask Forsythia her, she went to Beijing, what happened to the capital, what's wrong? Did you give me a letter, give me a letter or something? ”

Shen Shuang glanced at her, although she was curious about the stammering girl's intentions, she was not interested in knowing what she wanted to do, and after being silent for half a second, she said honestly, "Sorry girl, I don't know what you asked." ”

When the girl heard this, she was anxious, "What, why don't you know?" You, you ......"

Listening to her keep saying the word you, Shen Shuang beckoned to the two henchmen on the side to go forward, she didn't have time to talk to the people who came to inquire about Shen Forsythia, and she didn't care about her.

However, Shi glanced at her and spoke directly, with a tone full of disgust, "Sister Ergou, my grandmother said that Sister Forsythia will not return to our house and will not return to Xishan Village, you will not come to my house in the future." ”

"Xiaoshan, let's go." So saying, the stone glanced at the girl with disgust, and ran forward with the hill.

And Shen Shuang, who was standing in place and was a little stunned, also smiled politely at her, and then stepped forward to follow, the child looked quite honest, and he was quite powerful, but unfortunately he was thinking about food all day long, but this was also convenient for her to buy.

The hillside here is not very steep, it is estimated that there are more wild grasses here, and there are no pigweed and wild vegetables, so when I walked up, I didn't see anyone, Shen Shuang was a little curious to ask the girl who inquired about Shen Forsythia just now.
