Chapter 18: Overnight stay

Xin'er had already woken up, and when she saw Wang's arrival, she stretched out her hand to hug her.

When Wang saw it, he hurriedly picked her up, touched the diaper under her buttocks, and got wet......

Wang, who skillfully changed her clothes and diapers for Xin'er, put Xin'er aside, took out the wet sheets and cotton wool and dried them before holding Xin'er out.

In addition to a few children, the Wang family is the only one left in the family, and the work of the family has to be handed over to her.

The Ding family raised two pigs and seven or eight chickens, and they had to be fed every day.

It's already November, and there are still a few days of heavy snow, and the weather is already very cold, and Wang is afraid that he will take his heart out and catch a cold, so he puts the child on the bed in the house for Youyi and them to watch, and she is working outside.

It didn't take much time to feed the pigs and chickens, and she didn't have anything to do when she was done.

The Ding family has now returned to the days when they only ate two meals, so they don't have to cook at noon, and the Wang family is idle again for a while.

Wang is a person who has a job in her eyes, and she will find something to do when she has nothing to do, not to mention that the family is not really fine, of course she will not be idle like this.

She found a basket with half a frame of bud grain sticks, and carried her heart to the hall and put it in a big basket, covered it with a quilt, and let her play with it, and peeled the bud grain there.

Youxin and Youyi couldn't stay at home, and after playing for a long time, they ran out to play again, and the Wang family didn't circle them, and let them go out to play with a few words of advice as usual.

Peeling buds is a patient job, Wang is not lacking in patience, except for looking at his heart from time to time, he has been peeling corn, and he has finished peeling the buds in the basket in half a morning.

In addition to being a patient job, peeling buds is also a job that hurts your hands, and you can't peel them for too long at a time, otherwise even the cocoons on your hands will still blister.

Wang didn't continue after peeling the corn she picked up, Xin'er had already woken up, and she put on another dress for Xin'er and went out with Xin'er.

She went to the village first, and there were many people in the dam.

"Spring flowers are also out, come and sit here."

It was Li Shi, the daughter-in-law of Ding Dahe's eldest son, Ding Xingfa, who spoke.

"Second sister-in-law."

Wang shouted, and then came to Li and sat down next to him.

"Come, give me a hug."

Li reached out towards Wang and made a gesture to pick up the child.

Wang didn't hesitate, and handed the child over quickly.

Xin'er was looking around with her eyes open, and she didn't cry when she saw that she was hugged by someone else, but smiled at Li.

Li Shi also showed a smile on his face when he saw it, and couldn't help but say, "This child is so well-behaved, and he doesn't recognize life." ”

"Yes, you see that she is still smiling at you, sister-in-law of the Ding family, you are afraid that there is something happy about it."

A woman on the side also laughed and said.

"Where, where."

Li was very satisfied when he heard this, there is an old saying in the village, children laugh at you to make money.

Who is not happy to get rich, even if it is really not rich, it is worth being happy to hear this.

……

The woman's conversation always changed quickly, and it didn't take long for her to move on to something else.

"Why did Chunhua think about taking the child out today."

"What did Sister-in-law Liu say, I often come out, there is nothing to do at home today, I won't take her out for a walk."

"Why did you come out alone with the child, Aunt Zheng and Sister-in-law Zhang came together?"

"They went up the mountain, and I was at home with the children."

"Why are you going to the mountains this weather?"

"Don't do anything, just chop some firewood and come back."

"Your family is still short of firewood."

"Hehe, it's always good to cut more."

Wang didn't want to say more.

The man wanted to say something, but when he heard the others change the subject again, he stopped talking and joined the other discussion.

……

After talking to those people for a while, she went back with her heart in her arms, the weather was too cold, and she was afraid that her heart would get sick.

Children just like to sleep, and as soon as they get home, they fall asleep again.

After settling her heart, she continued to peel buds, and she was not in a hurry and her speed was very slow.

Over there, Erlin and his party followed Erlin for a while after arriving at Erdaoliangzi and arrived at the place of dead trees.

When he arrived at the place, Makoto was already tired and panting, but his expression was very excited, and he didn't have any fatigue and malaise.

Also, these children don't come here even if they go up the mountain on weekdays, at most they go around the foot of the mountain, and it's the first time he's here, isn't it a novelty?

"Yes, this tree is really good, you can burn it for a long time when you cut it down."

Ding Dashan looked at the pine tree in front of him and said.

This pine tree is really good, first of all, it is very straight, about three to five feet high, and if it is thick, it looks like it is more than one foot or two feet, and in general it is very good.

After cleaning up the surroundings, the Ding family, father and son, began to take turns cutting down trees.

After cutting for a while, I felt that it was almost done, and I called everyone around me away.

The father and son pushed the tree to the side together, and after pushing it a few times, the pine tree slowly fell in their eyes.

On the way down, the branches of the trees were also broken by other trees.

The tree was cut down, and Zheng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could also help.

The three of the Ding family, father and son, separated and cut off all the branches on the trunk and threw them aside, cutting the trunk into sections.

The Zheng family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cleaned the large branches of the cut down with a knife and cut them into sections and piled them aside.

After cutting all the trees into sections, it was noon, and the stomachs of several people were a little empty.

They went up the mountain with a fire fold, and Erlin cleaned up a vacant lot on the side and came out and made a fire on the dry branches on the side.

After the fire was almost over, Zheng and Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law roasted the steamed buns brought by the torches and distributed them to the others, and took out the pickles they brought, and several people simply ate lunch.

Youcheng over there was not honest when he ate, so he walked around the neighborhood with steamed buns, and stopped when he walked next to the pine tree that he had cut down.

"Dad, look, I saw a firewood worm."

Youcheng is very excited, he has eaten firewood insects, it is very delicious and fragrant!

Wood insects, as the name suggests, are insects that grow inside firewood and live by eating wood.

Whether it is fried or roasted, it tastes very good, and children like to eat them the most, and for them, this is also a rare delicacy, and it is nothing more than that Cheng Cheng will be so excited.

"I haven't seen it, if you want to eat it, bring it over and let your mother cook it for you."

Kazuki was indifferent to this, firewood insects were not new to him, although firewood insects were rare, but they were not so precious.

Youcheng listened to his father's words, so he took the firewood worms he picked up to his mother and asked his mother to burn them.

"Mother, dad asked you to burn it for me, hehe."

"Wait a while, Cheng'er, you go and see if there is anything else, if you have it, take it all, if you have more, I will take it back and let your mother fry it for you, and it is better to eat it than to burn it."

Zheng saw that the firewood insects that Youcheng brought over were not small, and they were the size of an index finger.

"Really, milk?"

"Really, what are you lying about, go quickly, if you have more, take it back and fry it and give your brother and them some to eat."

Youcheng was a little unhappy, why did he want to give it to others, but he still gave in thinking about the taste of the fried.

In the end, Youcheng rummaged through the trees and found more than a dozen firewood insects, both large and small, and Zheng decided to take them back and eat them again.

"Cheng'er, it's a lot, let's take it back and fry it."

"yes, okay."

After eating and sitting for a while, the few people began to chop wood again.
