The next morning, after breakfast:

"Yulian, I'll go to the mountain with your mother to cut some blood vines and come back, and you will wait at home. kid, here we go. After Dad finished speaking, he took the firewood knife and set off with Mom.

"Okay, Dad," Yulian watched her parents go away before going to feed the pigs.

Because of the previous experience in feeding pigs, even if the pigs screamed, Yulian also obediently treated these pigs.

Yulian looked at these pigs who were scrambling to eat, and thought to herself: Pigs, eat more, eat more, grow fast, and there will be pork sold at home during the Chinese New Year.

As usual, after feeding the pigs, Yulian carried her clothes to a small ditch not far from her home to wash them.

When she came to the small ditch, Yulian rolled up her trouser legs, walked down, and put her clothes in the water to soak.

At this point, I am the only one who washes clothes here, how clean! Yulian secretly said in her heart, when my father buys the medicine back, if it can really cure my headache, I can be like a normal person, how good, thinking about it, Yulian showed a long-lost smile on her face.

"Let me tell you softly,

The stars in the sky are waiting,

Share your loneliness

My joy

The sunshine of life is the most gentle

Don't ask me how high the sun is

I'll tell you how true I am

Don't ask me how many stars there are

I'll tell you a lot

Lots ......"

Yulian happily sang with her voice.

"The song you sing is so good," Yulian was taken aback by this sudden voice, and instinctively turned around to see that it was Liu Hua.

"I'm sorry, didn't I scare you," Liu Hua said with some embarrassment when he saw Yulian's body jump just now.

"It's okay, you also came to wash the clothes today, I thought that only I was free to come out to wash the clothes at this time, they all came out to wash at noon." Yulian rubbed her clothes and said.

Liu Hua rolled up his trousers and said while getting into the water: "I didn't have anything to do when I came back, so I came over to wash my clothes." Then he took his clothes and rubbed them.

Yulian doesn't know Liu Hua very well, after all, he is much older than herself, and he went out early, but how can he come out to wash clothes as a big man? You must know that in the countryside it is rare for boys to come out to do laundry, because boys will be laughed at when they wash clothes.

Yulian was washing her clothes while thinking that the two of them were washing their clothes separately.

Because the two didn't speak, the scene was a little embarrassing, so Yulian said: "Liu Hua, you are really diligent, and you will wash your own clothes when you come back." ”

"Really? Ha~ha~Ha, I don't wash who washes, and I don't have a wife to wash, my mother is in Shanghai, not at home, only my father and younger brother are at home. Liu Hua said, putting a washed piece of clothing into the bucket.

"I think, now men and women are equal, and everyone is the same." Yulian said, putting her clothes in the water and shaking up a circle of bubbles, which slowly dissipated with the running water on it.

"Well, I agree with you, it seems that you are different."

"Is there one?" Yulian said a little embarrassed.

"Yes," Liu Hua said with a smile, and the two of them stopped talking again because they were shy of each other. All that was left was the sound of birds chirping and rubbing clothes.

Yulian washed the clothes first, so it was done quickly, Yulian lifted the bucket full of clothes and said, "I'll go first, you wash slowly." ”

"Okay," Liu Hua glanced at Yulian, continued to lower his head to wash his clothes, and thought to himself: I didn't expect that there are so many different women in this small village, her quietness, how attractive her singing voice is, thinking of this, Liu Hua looked in the direction of Yulian's house again, and saw that Yulian was drying her clothes there, and she seemed to be humming some tune in her mouth.

Liu Hua retracted his gaze and continued to rub his clothes in his hands.

Words: Yulian dried her clothes and went to prepare lunch.

Yulian brought the dishes to the table, set the dishes and chopsticks, and glanced at the alarm clock, it was almost 12 o'clock, why didn't she see her parents come back?

"Bang~Bang~Bang," this was the sound of the knife falling to the ground, and Yulian hurriedly walked out.

I saw my parents each carrying a load of wood-like trees back, "Dad, Mom, you are back," Yulian greeted her and helped her parents move these firewood-like things together.

"Dad, didn't you say to cut the blood vine? How to chop wood and come back. Yulian looked at these firewood roads.

"Silly boy, isn't this a blood vine?" Dad said. "Why, you think it looks like a tree?"

Dad untied the rope tied to the blood with his hand, picked one up, and slashed it with a knife, only to see that there was juice like blood flowing out of it.

"See, there is juice like blood in it, so it's called blood vine, don't underestimate this blood vine, it has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, invigorating blood, and relieving pain, so the pharmacy will recycle these medicinal materials." Dad patiently explained.

"Dad, is this medicine so magical?" Yulian stared at the vines and said.

"Yulian, you see, my mother cut it all big." Mom said happily, wiping the sweat on her face with her hands from time to time.

"Wow, such a big blood vine, it's almost as thick as the bowl, mom is so powerful!" It's the first time I've seen such a big vine Yulian.

"Because not many people know the blood vine, it has never been cut, so it is so thick now." Dad explained.

"Your father, I only met after reading the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and I was paid a lot of money to buy books." Mom said jokingly.

"That's what I love, I love to read," Dad said to Mom with a smile.

Yulian saw that they were about to get on the bar, and hurriedly said: "Dad, Mom, you have worked hard, the meal is ready, wash your hands and eat!" ”

"Let's go, let's eat," Dad said, turning and walking towards the restaurant.

afternoon

Mom and Dad went out to chop blood vines again, and the younger siblings went to study and didn't come back yet. Yulian followed her father's teaching, and was going to cut the blood vines into pieces and take them to dry.

Yulian brought a woodcutter, moved a low stool, and brought a relatively large piece of wood to pad the blood vine.

Yulian picked a big blood vine, and thought, I'll cut you first, it's so big, it's hard to cut it, Yulian went down with a knife, eh, is it quite brittle? It's so easy to cut, so Yulian snapped ~ snapped ~ snapped and chopped up.

"Hey," Yulian put down the knife and shook her hand, she was so tired, the first cut felt that this blood vine was quite brittle, but after cutting too much, this hand was tired and painful!
