The village chief pondered for a moment and said.

"Why don't you sell it yourself?"

Xiaohua was able to sell because she had seen a lot of economic disputes in that era, one because she didn't have much money, and the other because she sold it well to the people in the village, after all, they lived in the village. Orphans and widows may have the help of the villagers.

"Grandpa the village chief, my family is full of children, and I am also powerless! Besides, that thing is only found in the mountains just after the rain, and we can't pick so much. ”

The village chief's eyes lit up, he really didn't see that the little girl of the Zhong family still had such thoughts.

The village chief patted Xiaohua's shoulder, looked at her differently, took Xiaohua's hand and said.

"What a girl! It's rare that you still think about the people in the village, I thank you for the villagers, we don't have any livelihood in the village, we just live by planting that little bit of land, now we have these ideas of yours, let's try it first. ”

After the village chief finished speaking, he let go of Zhong Xiaohua's hand, pointed to the mountain and said.

"We have timber in the mountains, and if these things are really okay, you can be regarded as doing a great thing for the people in our village, wow! Good! I'm going to go out and find someone. ”

"Grandpa the village chief, then I'll go, if you find someone, just tell me, I'll give them a size, and let them do it."

Zhong Xiaohua and the village chief walked and talked, and then they went out of the courtyard of the village chief's house, Xiaohua walked in the direction of his house, and the village chief walked in the other direction.

Zhong Xiaohua was happy at this time, she didn't expect the village chief to support her so much.

Zhong Xiaohua came home and saw that none of the little Luotou in the family had gone out, and they were stinky of their new clothes!

It's just that they are all wearing underwear, and they look so strange.

"Don't stink there, let's go into the mountains to pick hawthorns now, I'll go to the town in a few days, I count that the restaurant is about to sell out, we have to send it to others quickly."

Zhong Xiaohua was beckoning these radish heads.

"Okay, okay, let's go, let's all go."

The little ones are now about to worship Zhong Xiaohua as a god! Since the second sister's leg injury healed, it seems to be a different person, in terms of wisdom, in speaking, and in doing things, she has the style of the legendary general!

Now that the clothes are new, and the stomach is full, what could be better than being well fed and warm?

So under the call of Zhong Xiaohua, the king of the mountain, those little minions rushed up, and even the eldest sister Zhong Xiaocao, who usually doesn't go out, was ready to go into the mountain to pick hawthorns.

"Eldest sister, are you going too?"

Zhong Xiaohua asked curiously at the eldest sister who was ready to go, after all, the eldest sister was only in charge of the affairs in the ground before.

"Am I not afraid that you will not be able to carry it? Besides, there is nothing left in the ground. Eminem was able to take care of himself at home alone. ”

Zhong Xiaocao said with a smile.

After all, the things that Xiaocao brought home before were already very exciting for her!

"Try not to get the fruit on the ground! If the fruit falls into the ground, it can't be stored, and if it is broken, it can't be sold! If anyone dares to get it to the ground, be careful that I beat you!"

Zhong Xiaohua commanded the little minions to pick fruits from the tree under the tree, from this tree to that tree, they were very busy, and the children seemed to be able to eat enough in the past two days, and they looked full of energy.

Zhong Xiaocao stood next to her, smiling at them helplessly, but now she was also full of hope for the future, hoping that the future would be better.

They were picking fruit here, and there were two men not far from them who were threshing pigweed, and when they heard the commotion, they looked around for a while.

Zhong Xiaohua saw that it was not early, so she took her minions home, everyone carried them on their shoulders and in their arms, as if they were holding gold ingots.

"Little San, will you follow the second sister to the town tomorrow? Last time, I didn't leave much hawthorn in the restaurant, I guess now that they are finished, we have to send them quickly, the more they sell, the more we make money. ”

After dinner in the evening, Zhong Xiaohua said to Xiao San.

Zhong Xiaohua called Xiao San not because he liked one or didn't like that, it was because Zhong Dissan was a "laborer" in this family.

"Second sister, I'll go too, I'll go too."

Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu are also scrambling to talk.

"What can you two do, a moving bag that you can carry? Or is it a way to run? It's just a burden to let you go! ”

Zhong Xiaohua looked at the two small bodies, but the younger brother with a big head, rolled her eyes and said.

Before dawn the next day, the eldest sister prepared dry food last night, and Zhong Xiaohua carried the flower cloth pocket she sewed on her back.

The sister and brother walked to the town with the fruit on their backs, this time it was different from the last time, the last time they were hungry, and they walked for almost two days, but this time it was different, because they carried dry food, they didn't have to be hungry, and their pace was also quickened a lot, mainly because they had hope and rush for life.

The business of the restaurant is so hot these days! Every day, the chefs are tired and have a sore back, and they are still sold out of stock.

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the white silver, his mouth couldn't close his smile, and the little girl appeared in his eyes again, this is really his God of Wealth!

"Shopkeeper Zhang, how is the business going these days?"

With the words, Zhong Xiaohua stood on the steps of the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence.

Shopkeeper Zhang turned his head and looked, oops! Isn't this the God of Wealth I was talking about?

"Oh, Miss Zhong, you're here, I'm thinking about you! Man, go and prepare some good food for Miss Zhong and Childe. ”

In this way, the Zhong family sisters and brothers were treated as guests, and after eating and drinking, there was a period of greetings, Zhong Xiaohua took out the hawthorn fruits, and gave these hawthorns to Dong Zhang and the two shopkeepers at the price of fifty yuan a catty.

After the two shopkeepers repeatedly stayed, the Zhong family sisters and brothers were afraid that their families would worry about them, and they were ready to go home with a tael of silver obtained from selling hawthorn in their arms.

The shopkeeper asked Xiao Er to take out a big roast chicken, some buns, and a piece of marinated pig's head meat, so that they could eat it on the way back.

The sisters and brothers went all the way and thought about it, and according to the amount they carried on this trip, they sold it for the same money, and after a few days they used it almost enough, they could come again, and they could sell it for another one or two dollars!

After all, they were lightly dressed, and they were in a good mood, humming a little tune all the way, and they returned home.

"Second sister, it's not good."

Before I entered the house, I saw Xiao Wu and Liu running towards them quickly, shouting as they ran, Zhong Xiaohua ran a few steps, and his brother was in his arms.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? Say it quickly? ”

Zhong Xiaohua had a thin and thin shadow in her mind, what she was most afraid of was that she was not related by blood, but she was still the one who was still her mother, although she couldn't see it, but after all, she had never enjoyed the maternal love in the past few days.

"Let's ...... The wild fruits that were hidden in the mountains were stolen by men...... Woohoo......"

Zhong Xiaoliu told the situation incoherently, crying as he spoke......

"Oh! I'm scared to death, it's such a big thing, it's also called a thing! Don't cry, don't cry. ”

Zhong Xiaohua sat down on the ground and smoothed it down with her hand on her heart.

"As long as it's not Eminem's fault, everything else is a trivial matter, not even a thing, I thought that something like this would happen a long time ago."

After that, he raised his hand to one side and patted the two younger brothers.

"Isn't that a problem? We worked hard for days to pick it, and then let them steal it, woo woo ......"

"That's it! How can we sell it for money if they steal it? It's time for us to starve again. ”

They have been busy picking fruit recently, but they can't help it, so they can't take so much fruit down the mountain, so they try to find a way, take a little at a time, and hide all the fruit they have picked nearby. But who knows, it was stolen!

The more the two children coaxed them, the more they cried.

"Who said that we would starve without wild fruits, you don't believe in the second sister, your second sister has great skills! Walk! Don't cry, let's see what the second sister brings you to eat. ”

Zhong Xiaohua took her younger brother into the house, and Zhong Xiaosan also returned home with a large bag of food given by the shopkeeper with an angry face.

"Xiaohua, Xiaosan, you're back, you're tired! Come and sit down and rest. ”

Zhong Xiaocao came out of the house when he heard the movement, hurriedly moved the stool, and looked at his sister and younger brother with a dirty face, his eyes were full of distress.

"Eldest sister, there is meat in that bag, you take it out and give it to Eminem to taste."

Zhong Xiaohua didn't bother to sit down and rest, so she took the package from the junior and handed it to the eldest sister.

"Neither of you are allowed to cry anymore! If you cry again, I won't give you meat, and you won't cry! Little saucer, come and eat the meat! ”

Zhong Xiaohua was frightened and coaxed to finally stop the two younger brothers from crying, and Xiaocao also brought out the cut meat at this time, and the pieces of meat were very small, just a big one.

Zhong Xiaohua grabbed the largest piece and was about to send it to her mother, but as soon as she walked to the door of the house, she saw Eminem holding a stick in her hand, leaning against the door frame, looking at her with her empty eyes.

"Thank you, kid! You're right, it's true that Eminem can't stand you! ”

As Eminem spoke, he opened one hand and groped towards Zhong Xiaohua's face.

Zhong Xiaohua was enjoying this rare maternal love, she wanted to caress this hand like this, although the hand was covered with calluses, although the calluses on the hand stabbed her face very painfully.

Zhong Xiaocao walked over and helped Eminem sit on the stool, smiling and shaking his head.

"Eminem, what do you say! Without you, we wouldn't be where we are now. You worked hard to give birth to us in October when you were pregnant, and it was also very difficult. ”

It's just that Eminem, who was sitting on the stool, was stunned, his body was slightly stiff, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Xiaohua didn't notice it, but just tore off the meat in her hand little by little and sent it to Eminem's mouth.

She wanted to stop like this!
