Chapter 22: Returning Home
"Come with me, I can still talk to you," Xiaoman is small, but Honghong is better with her, knowing that her brain is bright, the three of them didn't go to a familiar place, and followed her to a steep slope,
"Well, go down from here, climb up from there, the slopes over there are full of vegetables,"
The baby in the mountains is nothing to climb the slope and go down the river, bending down and reflexively slipping down, the action is so flexible,
"Ah, there are really a lot of them here, Xiaoman, you are so good,"
"I don't just know this, I see that there are still fish in the water over there, wait for me to make a hook, let's fish and eat, I'm so hungry,"
The three of them were hungry, and the proposal was very popular, and Xiao Man took out the rope and a small section of wire that he had prepared in the morning.
"You go find earthworms, let's use that as bait," after saying that, he used a shovel to cut a branch, and this thickness should work,
The fishing rod and fish food are good, she asked the two to dig vegetables first, and she sat on the edge of the pond and patiently fished the fish, but also her luck, after a while, the rod sank down, Xiaoman suddenly pulled up, wow, this fish is really not small, seeing that it is about to be unhooked, she is so frightened that she hurriedly steps back,
"Come on, fish, a big fish," said it was big, but in fact, it was about two catties, but for a six-year-old girl, she was still dizzy.
The three of them began to divide the labor, the firewood, the fish, Xiaoman sat on the ground and tied a shelf with a wooden stick, and if she wanted to eat, she could only roast it, and she still had a matchbox hidden in her pocket, although there were only two matches in it,
The three girls even chewed the fish bones, and finally said unsatisfied, "Let's come back tomorrow, I'll steal a small pot from home, it would be so beautiful if I could have a mouthful of fish soup to drink," Xiao Man thought of the fish soup and drooled,
Look at their respective baskets, fortunately, even half of them, this season is so good,
Xiao Man hid the fishing rod, and the three of them climbed the steep slope with each other, and told each other that such treasures must not be told to others, and then wiped their mouths and went home,
It's not that Xiaoman is ruthless, if this fish is taken home, she probably won't even be able to take a turn in soup, seeing the dishes they brought back, grandma didn't say anything, it seems that tonight's rice soup is saved,
She had a good night's sleep that night, but she woke up hungry again before dawn, listening to the breathing sound of the elder sister next to her, Xiaoman thought seriously, how to stop starving, this period, up and down the mountain, everything is collective, if anyone dares to pick and fish privately, then wait for the criticism, that is, they are all small, so they dare to get a fish to eat, if this is really discovered, it will cause trouble for the family,
After thinking about it, tomorrow's fish can't be caught, but if you don't fish, do you really grow up drinking rice soup, in her previous life, she only grew to more than one meter and a half, looking at people's slim and slim, not to mention envy,
She searched carefully for her memory, and she suddenly remembered that no one knew about the cave in the back mountain at this time, and when she was working in the production team, she went up the mountain to pick fruits.
was discovered by a few of them, and everyone was amazed when they went in, not only did there be a water tank inside, but there was also a window on the edge of the cliff, and it was not stuffy at all.
It seems that the secret base has to be there, but, what excuse to go to the back mountain, the cave is not too far from the ravine, because it is blocked by a big stone, so it has not been discovered,
Xiaoman doesn't have freedom now, except for going out with her sisters to dig a vegetable and go to the back mountain, it's impossible, she thinks about it, she has to find an ally, brother and sister can't, those two didn't work out,
What about Mom and Dad, she rolled her eyes and measured, her mother was very shrewd, but her mind was not good, her father was honest and good to herself, but this was a big deal, he might not be able to keep the secret,
It seems that there is only her grandfather, her grandfather originally taught in the city, but when the movement came, he was sent back to the countryside, so his status at home was not high.
Grandpa loves Xiaoman very much, because only this granddaughter in the family likes to hold a book to read, her mother in her previous life asked her to drop out of school, and grandpa was powerless to stop it, which is also the most regrettable thing for grandchildren and grandchildren.
Xiaoman robbed the job of delivering food to her grandfather this day, she carried a small basket and went to the cowshed in the village with difficulty, at this time, the cow is the most expensive production tool, and there are only a few heads in a brigade, so there must be someone to feed the cow,
When my grandfather was old, he lived in the cowshed and waited every day.
"Ouch, why is Xiaoman, tired, why didn't your sisters come?"
Although my grandfather was only in his fifties, his hair was already gray, and his thin face was full of wrinkles, and he looked like he was in his sixties.
"I miss my grandfather," grandpa only has a bowl of rice soup and a nest head, a few chopsticks and pickles in the nest head, looking at such a simple meal, Xiaoman's heart is sad, grandpa only lived for more than sixty years in his previous life, is it because of a depressed mood, or is it malnutrition?
"Master, our family can't eat enough, why don't we raise a few more chickens?"
"Alas, people can't eat enough, what to feed the chickens, Xiaoman, are you hungry, eat half a nest,"
"I'll eat at home, master, we can go and mow the grass, and I don't need to feed the grain, I can also go and catch insects to feed,"
"Aren't you fed at home, you chop the chickens every day, are you tired?"
Grandpa is obviously struggling, Xiaoman understands that he is afraid of being criticized, and he doesn't have the courage to do anything that violates the rules, she packed up her job and left with a basket, grandpa still counts it here, she can't add any more burden to him,
"Xiaoman, I shouldn't call you a few times," a person stopped her panting,
"Sister Honghong, I didn't hear it, what did you call me for?"
"Let's go fishing, I've been wanting to die for the past few days," it turned out that someone was still thinking about it, Xiaoman suddenly figured it out,
Why do you want adults, they are a proper duo, if the sisters go out, the milk will not stop them, as long as they bring back wild vegetables,
"Sister Honghong, I have a better place, do you dare to go with me, I can say yes first, only the two of us know, if you let others know, I won't be okay with you,"
"Oh, don't worry, I definitely won't tell others, you are stupid to me, what a good place, do you have anything to eat?" The little girl's chest slapped the mountain sound, and she tried hard to show her loyalty,
"Let's send this back, you tell your grandmother that we're going to dig vegetables, and I'll take you there," the two of them quickly ran back,
Put things down, it didn't take much effort, they went out, the two climbed to the back mountain, Xiaoman found the cave according to his memory, and when he went in, he was stunned as in his previous life.
There was a pool of water inside, and there was a ticking stream of water on it, and for a while, the red voice was full of disappointment.
"The cave is beautiful, but there is nothing to eat, Xiaoman, what's good here," Okay, all the beautiful scenery on an empty stomach is floating clouds,
