Meizi carried the wooden stick on her back and returned to her bud rice field. Untie the rope and release the stick. Divided into several small bundles and hugged them to the Zhou family. After that, I went back to the ridge and sat on the freshly cut bud pole to rest. Today, the gray sun hides in the thick clouds. The air smelled of rain-washed dirt. The cool breeze mixed with moisture blows on my body, and I close my eyes and feel the unique silence and comfort.

Umeko sat down for a while. He got up and went into the field.

A family of three was busy in the budding rice field non-stop until it was almost dark, and they almost went home. There are also some broken potato seedlings that will have to be dried tomorrow and are being dug up. Otherwise, the dirt is too big. It's hard to dig in.

The family of three returned home with tired steps. The second girl has already cooked the rice. Multigrain sweet potato rice eaten today. The little girl went to the vegetable field again to pick some vegetables. Wash well and cut well. Just wait for the plums to go home and fry the vegetables.

The family went home and washed their hands and feet. I wiped my body casually and washed it in boiling water at night. On Tuesday, the river picked up the pole and went out to fetch water. The second girl can't pick it. I have to use water to pick it up a few times before it gets dark. Zhou went to the backyard to pour the leftover pig food from this morning into the pigsty and feed the pigs. I went and grabbed a few more handfuls of buds for the chickens. By the way, I took a look at the rabbit nest. There is still uneaten grass in it. It's gone. I guess it is estimated that the two small ones have been fed at home today.

Meizi went into the stove room and cut the vegetables of the second girl. Put it in the pot and fry it. I stir-fried meat with chili peppers today. Burned a braised eggplant. I cut another piece of bacon and fried it with cabbage. There is also leftover oil from the fried meat in the pan. The plums mixed the water and boiled the greens.

The family sat at the table and ate dinner. Meizi and Zhou's two families are both physically exerting a lot today. Been busy eating. There was no strength to take the words.

After eating, the second girl looked at her sister. I'm so tired with my parents. I took the initiative to put away the dishes and chopsticks. Go to the stove room to boil water and wash. Zhou Zhu followed behind the second girl like a little tail. I was also very obedient today, and I didn't go to make trouble with Meizi and Zhou. followed the second girl into the stove room. One washed and one cleaned. The two siblings enjoyed themselves.

Meizi rested enough, and when she got to the stove, she saw two little guys squatting by the basin washing dishes. I was emotional.

Coming to this place is a bit tiring to be poor. But meeting such an amiable family is also the most gratifying place. Meizi is now more determined to work hard to earn money so that the family can live a good life.

The two little ones see Ui's plum on the door frame. They all raised their heads and shouted.

Meizi came back to her senses from her thoughts. Watch as the two little ones squatting on the ground raise their round heads. Two small faces looked at their eyes darkly. I couldn't help but laugh. The dimples on both sides of his cheeks sink deeply. The full lips pull the graceful arc of the day to the sides.

Umeko walked in. Reached out and rubbed a handful of each of the two little guys' dark hair. "Slow down. Don't get your clothes wet. ”

"Got it, sister. You sit and rest. We'll be fine in a moment. The second girl took the time to say a word to Meizi while washing.

The little guy on the side couldn't hold it anymore. Hurriedly raised his head and looked at Meizi with a look of begging for praise. The two eyes shimmered in the light of the kerosene lamp. "Sister. I'm obedient today. My second sister and I cut grass for the rabbit to eat. Now I'm washing the dishes again. Isn't that amazing! ”

Meizi and Erniu couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. "Little bamboo. I don't know why you look so thick-skinned! The second girl couldn't help laughing after speaking.

The little one is gone. Immediately, the little face was full of displeasure. Both cheeks bulge like a little hamster that eats. Meizi couldn't help but laugh. But don't forget to praise the little guy. "Hmm. Our little bamboo is the best. Little bamboo has grown up and is a man. ”

After listening to Meizi's words, the little guy immediately smiled and frowned.

Meizi looked at the two little ones and shook her head helplessly. Then he sat in the stove and boiled water. Prepare for a shower.

The next day. It's a sunny day. On Tuesday, the river said that the potatoes were left in the field to let the sun dry until the afternoon was digging. Zhou took the cloth bought by Meizi the day before yesterday and took the second girl to Aunt Zhang's house. Naturally, the little bamboo followed.

On Tuesday, the river was at home preparing to cut the bath room that had not been cut a few days ago. lest the harvest be harvested in a few days, and the man will not have time. Meizi sees that there is nothing to do at home. So he took his tools and went up the mountain.

The road used to be walked had a small wooden bridge made of wooden piles. It was swept away by the river that rose yesterday. Umeko had to take a long detour to the mountains. It rained so hard a few days ago, and there must be a lot of mushrooms in the mountains.

Plum went to the mountain to take a look. There are footprints all over the place. There are also some discarded mushrooms on the ground.

It is estimated that someone came early. This neighborhood has already been picked! Meizi saw that there was nothing left here, so she kept walking into the mountain. The plums stopped and went, although they didn't pick many mushrooms. But I still picked some wild fruits. A peach tree was also found. The plum plucked some of the ripe ones. When I walked around the tree, I found a small peach tree more than a meter high. Meizi thought that it was estimated that the peaches had broken and fallen in previous years. This takes root in the soil and grows taller. I'm afraid it's been more than a year like this!

Meizi thought about digging this little peach tree home and planting it in her own backyard. When you grow up, you can keep the peaches for your own family and eat them, and you can sell them for money.

Meizi brought a firewood knife today without tools. The soil on it can be cut with a wood knife. The one below was afraid of hurting the tree, so he could only kneel on the ground and slowly plane it with his hands.

Thankfully, the tree is not big. After a while, all the roots of the plum leaked out. Umeko poured out the mushrooms from the basket again. I put some soil in a cloth bag, put the saplings in it, and cover it with a layer of soil. It was put in the back basket. Umeko packed the mushrooms in a separate cloth bag. With a basket on his back, he wanted to find a stream to wash his hands. I didn't take a few steps here. I accidentally stepped on the soil that had been washed away and loosened by the rain on the side. When the plum stepped on it, the soil collapsed instantly. Plum also fell down the hill. The plum rolled a few times down the hillside. The back basket also fell off during the tumbling. The contents of the basket were scattered all the way down the hillside. When the plum stops at the foot of the slope. I closed my eyes and relieved the pain in my body. Wait for the head to be less dizzy. Just get ready to stand up. The feet are just getting stronger. There was a heart-piercing pain. Meizi couldn't help but gasp. Bend your leg over and reach out and roll up your trouser legs. The foot of the left foot is swollen and swollen in a large bag. Meizi pressed it lightly with her hand, and she couldn't help but gasp in pain.

Meizi thought to herself that this was over. What should I do in the deep mountains and forests?

Meizi waited for the pain to subside. Standing up, he quickly looked around with his eyes to see if there was anything he could borrow to stand up with. As Umeko was looking around, she suddenly saw a black thing skimming in front of her eyes. The plum quickly moves to the eyes. Keep your eyes fixed on that place. I couldn't help but be surprised. What a blessing in disguise!

It feels like the pain from the fall is worth it. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. The more you laugh, the better you laugh. Behind this, the sound of tree branches being trampled and broken could not be heard.

Meizi turned her head alertly. Looking at the hillside behind him, "Who's where?" ”
