Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sweet Mouth
Wei Fang's words made Tong Shuangxi live with Wang Pozi for the time being.
As for the Tong family, half a month has passed, and the people of the Tong family have not come to look for Tong Shuangshuang. Tong Shuangxi took his younger brother to the Tong family secretly, and the Tong family still lived a normal life, and it was not different because of one less person.
"For the sake of not caring about yourself, there is no need to be too careful."
Unlike Tong Shuangxi, the daughter of the Tong family halfway, Tong Shuangshuang is a native of the Tong family after all, Tong Shuangxi was afraid that he would have a pimple in his heart, so he inevitably comforted him and said.
Tong Shuangshuang, who was struggling to pull out the weeds in front, turned his head and smiled at Tong Shuangxi: "That family, I didn't pay attention to it, I didn't have mine, that is, I was less burdensome, now, I just think about how to make money, buy delicious food and beautiful clothes for my aunt and sister." ”
Tong Shuangxi saw that Tong Shuangshuang's smile didn't look like a fake, and he couldn't help but be happy for him in his heart.
"That's all this mouth is sweet, come, drink some water and dry it again!"
Mrs. Wang didn't know when she came over and poured a bowl of cold boiled water for the two sisters and brothers.
As she gets along with each other every day, Mrs. Wang has more words than before, and whenever Tong Shuangxi talks to Tong Shuangshuang's sister and brother, she can also interject a few words.
The way the three of them get along is more and more like the three generations of grandparents.
Tong Shuangshuang was a man of words, and he couldn't care about drinking water, so he solemnly made a vow with a small face: "I don't just say and don't do it, just look at it with my aunt and sister, I will definitely make a lot of money, and then build a big house, buy land and livestock, just like our village chief's family, raise twenty sheep, thirty chickens, thirty ducks, and six pigs!"
"In the future, our chickens and ducks do not sell only raw eggs to eat, and the pigs are fattened and fat, and they are not sold.
"The big house also needs the red tiles and white walls, and the flowers and plants are also printed on it......"
Tong Shuangshuang's little face turned red with excitement, which amused Tong Shuangxi and Mrs. Wang.
It took five days for the mother-in-law and grandson to clear all the weeds around the house, and another three days to plant the fields with seasonal fruits and vegetables.
"Persimmons, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, these are too late to plant, peppers, coriander, green vegetables, celery, can still be eaten last season, radish and Chinese cabbage are more varied, when the weather is cold, pickle some dried radishes and sauerkraut, or eat or sell, and don't worry about winter......"
Mrs. Wang has forgotten how long it has been since she had not been able to calculate the days so carefully, there was no one in the family before, and there was only one person to eat and wear, so she simply lived day by day, and now there are two more people in the family, two mouths, and Mrs. Wang can't stop for a while.
Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang are whatever the princess says, nodding vigorously.
After the three of them planted everything, there were only a few days left in the summer.
In the past few days, Mrs. Wang has been taking Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang to dig out the old clothes and pants at home, and the fabric is neat, so she cuts it to make autumn clothes, and the broken fabric is smeared with sauce paste to make coarse cloth shoes.
"Auntie, sister, the land at home has been planted, I have inquired, and there are people on the mountain to build a yard, I want to try it."
Making clothes and shoes are all women's jobs, and Tong Shuangshuang feels that he can't help much, so he has been asking if there are any odd jobs to do in the village and town.
"No!"
Mrs. Wang and Tong Shuangxi spoke at the same time.
"Your child is growing up, don't press and touch it when the time comes."
Tong Shuangxi also thinks so, building a house, even the man in the prime of life is struggling, not to mention Tong Shuangshuang, who is not yet ten years old.
It's just that she's curious who will build a house on the mountain.
Tong Shuangshuang only heard that people were recruiting workers on the mountain, so he moved his mind, but he didn't care about anything else.
So the sister and brother said that they would go up the mountain tomorrow to see what kind of family was going to build a house on the mountain.
The back mountain of Liuli Village is very large, no one can say how big it is, the people in the village are looking for a wild vegetable and wild fruit on weekdays, and they can't go far, and there are those who are bold and often fight a pheasant and a wild fox or something, but they don't dare to go deep in the end, but they heard those who went up the mountain come back and said that they had heard the wolf howl, and they had also seen tigers and beasts and the like in a flash.
Tong Shuangshuang has also followed Mrs. Wang into the back mountain a few times these days, the jungle is deep, the trees are thick, there are many species of wild plants, and snakes, ants, insects and birds are not uncommon, it can be seen that the back mountain is not formed for hundreds of years.
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, the children of Liuli Village often go into the mountains to find some fresh and wild things, and Mrs. Wang didn't care, only slightly told to pay attention to safety and the like, and then turned off the lights and fell asleep.
On the second day, after breakfast in the morning, the two brothers and sisters carried their baskets on their backs, took shovels, and went up the mountain.
In the early morning, the dew in the back mountains was heavy, and Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang, sister and brother, felt that their clothes were wet and wet after a while, but they didn't care, waiting for the sun to come out, and the clothes on their bodies would naturally dry.
After a while, the two of them looked for a basket of wild things, especially Tong Shuangshuang's luck, behind a stone, found a whole piece of land overgrown with wild mushrooms.
The white mushrooms stood there like small umbrellas, and Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang couldn't help laughing.
Such a uniform size of wild mushrooms, not to mention the size, the quality is also rare and high-quality, to the town of the restaurant, designated will be sold at a good price.
After carefully picking the mushrooms, the siblings found soft pine branches and leaves, and covered them with a thick layer, and after a while, the remaining mushroom roots would grow new mushrooms.
After the sister and brother found some pine cones, fungus and other things, their back baskets were also full.
The two of them wrote for a while, drank the water they had brought from home, and then went up the mountain with the basket on their backs.
The place where Tong Shuangshuang said to build the house is halfway up the mountain, although the mountain is not high, it is time-consuming and laborious to walk in twists and turns.
"Xiaoshuang, did you hear it wrong, how could someone build a house halfway up the mountain!"
No wonder Tong Shuangxi asked like this, even Tong Shuangshuang began to suspect that he had been deceived by the second raft brothers in the village.
It's just that since they came, the sister and brother didn't plan to give up, but continued to walk halfway up the mountain.
After a while, the two siblings heard a movement not far away, and the further they walked, the clearer the movement became, and they could even hear the sound of someone talking.
Tong Shuangshuang was excited in his heart and couldn't help but speed up his pace.
It was only when I walked up to me that I realized that the movement was made by a group of village children about the same age as Tong Shuangxi.
The young man in the lead was wearing a short-sleeved shirt that didn't fit, and he didn't talk about his appearance, but he was the tallest in the group.
"Who did I say, it turned out to be the eldest sister and the third brother!"
