"Mother, I put a little chili pepper in here, you taste spicy or not, if it's spicy, I'll get you some again."

Xin'er is 100% attentive to the Wang family at this time, and she can ask a few words about the pickles for dinner.

"That's it, it's not spicy."

"Oh, that's good."

After eating for a while, Xin'er said to Wang again: "By the way, mother, you eat less of this kimchi, you are taking medicine." ”

"Okay, my mother knows."

Although he was a little careful, Wang didn't feel annoyed, but felt warm.

Wang is sick, and the affairs of the family are handed over to the brother and sister.

Fortunately, there is nothing to do in the field now, and there is less land at home, but it is already summer, and the grass in the field has begun to grow wildly, and you have to go to the field from time to time to pull the grass, otherwise it will grow faster than the corn, and compete with the corn for fertilizer.

"Mother, don't work at home, I'll go to the field with Xin'er to pull weeds."

It has been two days since Wang's high fever, and Wang's illness is almost cured after drinking medicine every day, but the brother and sister are not at ease and still don't let her work.

"I'm fine, I'll go with you."

"No need mother, just one acre of land, I will finish it with Xin'er soon, don't worry about it, keep it at home."

Youyi and Xin'er did not agree with her going with them.

"I'm really okay anymore."

"No, we'll be back soon."

The brother and sister didn't want to say more, so one of them carried a basket and went up the mountain.

It is said that it is going up the mountain, but in fact, it is not counted, their family's land is not far from the foot of the mountain, but from the location of their house, it is just going up the mountain.

The Ding family now has one acre of land, and they managed it well before, and there is not much grass in the field, so it took about an hour for the two to clean it up, and the two of them continued to walk up the mountain with the basket on their backs, and they were ready to carry two firewood back by the way.

Nor did they intend to go into the mountains, but went around the outer part of the mountain.

It's just that the people in the village basically start cutting firewood from the periphery, and they haven't found anything good.

The two of them thought of a way, although some trees at the foot of the mountain were cut down, but there were also a lot, among which the pine trees were mostly pine trees, and there were many dead branches on the pine trees, and the size was also appropriate.

So the two of them discussed climbing up the tree to cut down the dead branches on it, and not going any further into the mountain.

"Sister, you pick it below, I'll cut it above."

"Okay."

Far away, a pine tree with more dead branches climbed up in three or two seconds, and the heart was waiting below.

In this way, the brother and sister cut one by one and picked the other, and soon there was a big pile on the ground.

"Brother, that's enough, you don't need to cut it."

"Okay, I'll cut this one down and come down."

"Brother, let's go back."

"Let's go."

The place where the brother and sister chopped wood was slightly remote, and they didn't meet anyone all the way back.

"Brother, look, is that a rabbit?"

Xin'er faintly saw a gray thing in the grass, the grass was still shaking, she had seen and even raised rabbits, and she was a little surprised at once.

There are hares on the mountain at night, but few people at the foot of the mountain see them, and I don't wonder if I have this reaction.

"Where?"

Youyi didn't see it, and he wasn't too excited, but since his sister asked, he naturally had to take a look.

"There, in the grass, you see, it's a gray mass, and the grass is still moving."

Youyi said that the direction of Xin'er's finger looked over, it was indeed a little similar, he was a little excited, it happened that his mother was sick, if it was really a rabbit, he could make up for his mother's body.

"I'll go and see, you're waiting for me here."

Youyi lightly put down the basket on his back, signaled his heart to be lighter, and slowly walked towards the mass that looked like a rabbit.

I didn't feel at ease, so I put down the backpack and walked over there.

walked in, Youyi saw clearly, it was indeed a rabbit.

As they approached, the rabbit felt uneasy and swooped out.

How could Youyi let go of such a good opportunity and chase after him with a stick.

The rabbit's movements are very fast, and Youyi's movements are not slow, but in the end, in the forest, there are many inconveniences in moving, and Youyi is slowly thrown away by the rabbit.

Seeing this, Youyi was a little angry, so he threw the stick in his hand towards the rabbit hard, hoping to hit it.

But obviously, this is useless, there are so many trees in the woods, and the rabbit is running fast, and it will disappear in three or two clicks, and naturally it will not hit it.

When Xin'er chased someone, she saw her brother panting with his hands on his knees, Xin'er instantly understood in her heart, and she was a little disappointed in her heart but didn't show it, which is also very normal, if rabbits are so easy to fight, maybe they will be extinct long ago.

"Brother, let's go, let's go back."

Walking to the place where the rabbit was found before, Xin'er couldn't help but take a few more looks, and this time she found something different.

"Brother, you see there's a small puddle here."

"Really, how can there be puddles here, and it hasn't rained in the past two days?"

Youyi is also a little puzzled, this is not a place in a ravine, how can there be a puddle, and the water in this puddle is still flowing out, is there a water source here? You Yi couldn't help but think in his heart.

"Brother, did you think that rabbit was drinking water here just now?"

Xin'er looked at the place where the rabbit was just now, and there was also a fist-sized puddle there, which I really couldn't see if I didn't look closely.

"Possibly."

"Brother, you said that if we make this puddle bigger, will there be more pheasants and hares in the future?"

"I don't know, why don't we try? It doesn't take much effort anyway, I think the soil is wet, so it should be easy. ”

Thinking of the rabbit and pheasant walking here, the scene of being beaten back by their size came to the heart.

"Okay, let's just shave it with a stick."

The two of them cut two small sticks around and began to plan, saying that they were planing casually, but they were really planing, that is, they took the sticks and dug two shallow and wide ditches at both ends of the puddle, which was about five feet.

"Okay brother, that's it, let's go back first."

"Well, let's go."

Throwing the ditching stick aside, the two of them walked back with the basket on their backs.

……

"Why did you come back now, you went to chop wood again."

Wang was bored sitting at home, so he took the needle and thread out to do it, and when he saw the two of them coming back, he put down the needle and thread and connected it.

"Mother, why are you working again, didn't you let you rest?"

"I don't have nothing to do, so I took the needle and thread out to pass the time, otherwise how can I stay."

Thinking about it, too, her mother is really not an idle person.

So he didn't speak.

"Where have you been, why are there still wet mud on your pants?"

Wang Shi saw the wet mud at the knee of Xin'er's pants and asked.

"Nowhere to go, after pulling the weeds, we went to chop wood, and then we went home. But on the way we met a rabbit, but unfortunately we didn't hit it, otherwise we would have been able to make up for your mother. ”

I still feel a pity when I think about it.

"If you don't hit it, forget it, you're fine."

Wang said as he plucked a dead leaf from his heart's head.
