Yuan Ning sighed, got down from the tree, first collected the pears scattered all over the ground, checked them one by one, and put them back into the basket. It's all broken, and it's all unsellable.

After collecting the pears, she sat down against the pear tree and checked her hands.

She was in a hurry, and the strength she used was not small, although she worked hard day and night, and her palms were covered with calluses, but just taking it still made her palms bloody.

She rubbed her hands into the grass, and used the dew to wash away the blood stains in her palms, and looked carefully, in fact, the wound was not deep, but there were more small wounds.

I looked left and right, found a few small thistles, picked a few leaves, tore them and put them in the palm of my hand, endured the pain and began to rub them.

The wound is freshly wounded, and there are thorns on the edge of the leaves of the thistle......

Yuan Ning grinned in pain, anyway, she knew that there was no one else here, so she didn't manage her expression at all, she didn't know that her current expression could be regarded as "hideous".

"Hey," a clear voice suddenly came to his ear, followed by a clean handkerchief, "you can't do that." ”

Yuan Ning didn't answer, raised his head, looked up along the light gray sleeve, and finally saw a familiar face, Su Heting.

She was stunned, "Why are you here?" ”

Su Heting couldn't help but laugh, the little girl in front of her was sweating in pain, and there was a bag of tears in her eyes, but she couldn't bear it, but because she went up and down the tree, there were a lot of leaves on her head and clothes, and her hair was also messy, and she looked quite embarrassed.

After laughing, I felt a little distressed, such a young child is shouldering the burden of supporting the family, there are hardships, tiredness and pain, and they have to endure it by themselves, carry it by themselves, and can't let their younger brothers and sisters know.

He sighed softly, squatted down, pulled Yuan Ning's two hands away, untied the water bladder he was carrying on his waist, and washed everything in his palm for her.

The small thistle and its green juice, as well as the blood from Yuan Ning's palm and mouth, mixed together, like a mess of filth.

Yuan Ning shouted, "What are you doing! I got it right! "How it hurts!

Su Heting looked at the dense calluses in her palms and the old wounds, pursed her lips vigorously, and her voice was a little low: "Don't move, I'll deal with it for you." ”

Yuan Ning didn't have much strength, and he struggled a few times and struggled to move, so he simply didn't struggle.

Su Heting rinsed off all the mess in her palm, and carefully picked out the wooden thorns from the wound, "If you don't get this out, it will suppurate in the future." ”

Yuan Ning said indifferently: "Don't be afraid, my sister will pick it up for me with a needle when I go home." ”

"That will have to wait until night, right?" Su Heting said angrily, "Don't you still want to pick fruits?" The thorns will get deeper and deeper! ”

As he spoke, he quickly smeared a layer of medicine on Yuan Ning's palm, and then wrapped it in his handkerchief, "That's about it, don't delay your work." After thinking for a while, he gave her the medicine bottle, "You take this, and when you have time at night, wash the wound again, apply the medicine, sleep, and tomorrow will be fine." ”

Since Yuan Ning arrived here, he has rarely received such warm kindness, his eyes were sour, he blinked vigorously, stood up and said, "Thank you!" You've done you another favor today. What are you doing here? Is there anything I can do to help? ”

Su Heting sighed, "I'm here to find someone, and I will continue to come here until I find someone." But...... I don't want more people to know about it. ”

"Oh," Yuan Ning nodded, this must be someone's privacy, "I know, I won't talk nonsense." ”

Su Heting lifted an empty basket on the ground, "I'm okay now, let's help you pick the fruit." After a pause, he added, "Don't get paid." ”

Yuan Ning is not welcome, with her alone, even if she adds Bo Zhong later, at most she will only fill a few baskets on the ground.

Su Heting wears a light gray short brown, climbs trees very vigorously, picks fruits very quickly, and knows how to classify, with molds in one basket, without molds in another basket.

His speed is about three times that of Yuan Ning.

By the time Bo Zhong came, they had already picked three baskets of fruit, and there were still piles on the ground that had not removed the molds.

Seeing the strangers busy on the tree, Bo Zhong was vigilant, but after Su Heting took the initiative to show him his face, Bo Zhong didn't react so much, he originally wanted to go up to the tree to pick fruits, but he was assigned by Yuan Ning to pick the mold.

Soon, the five baskets brought were already full, but Su Heting was still picking, Yuan Ning went to the tree, drank water, and called him: "Hey! Come down and rest! The baskets we brought were all full. ”

Su Heting came down from the tree, and Yuan Ning took a pear and handed it over, "Please eat it." ”

Su Heting took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and took a bite of it, and the sweet pear juice flowed into his mouth, quenching his thirst very much.

He ate half of the pear before he said, "Let's go ahead and pick it, I have friends near here, and if you can rest assured, we will help you deliver these fruits to the city later." ”

Bo Zhong's face was immediately full of vigilance.

Yuan Ning nodded in agreement, and pulled Bo Zhong down, "You stupid boy, people Su Gongzi can't look down on our little fruit!" ”

Su Heting laughed a few times, "Your brother is good." ”

Yuan Ning was full of pride, "Of course, it doesn't depend on who brought it out!" ”

The hour was almost up, Zhang Ergou appeared down the slope with an ox cart, and Su Heting said: "I won't show up, save trouble." ”

Yuan Ning nodded in agreement, and together with Bo Zhong, he called Zhang Ergou over, asked him to help load all the loaded fruits into the car, and then the three of them went to the county seat together.

In the same car, there are two people in the village who want to go to the county seat to do errands.

Both of them are in their thirties and forties, looking at the two siblings with dirt and sweat on their faces, and leaves and grass on their heads, they can't help but sigh, children without fathers and mothers are pitiful.

The two also asked them about the fruit they were selling.

Yuan Ning said with a bitter face: "It's just to make two hard-earned money, there's no way, seeing that the weather is going to be cold, dressing and eating are big deals...... I can't let my brothers and sisters go cold and starve. ”

Now that the autumn harvest has begun in the village, there are not many idlers, and no one pays attention to what the two siblings are doing and how much money they make, and these two people are just casually asking.

Zhang Ergou said one more sentence: "Isn't it sold out every time?" ”

Bo Zhong's body tightened. Yuan Ning's smile became even more bitter, "Uncle, do you say that at such a young age, the two of us are willing to give more money?" It's almost half sold and half given. ”
