Sheng Qingqing smiled and wanted to clean up the plates, but as soon as she picked up the plates, she was stopped.

"You made all this dish, where can you let this kid wash the dishes. Stay and wash this kid Niu Yu! ”

Niu Yu rarely didn't sing the opposite, and responded in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, Sister Aqing kept it for me to wash." ”

Sheng Qingqing felt a little strange, "What about the second aunt?" ”

In the past, the housework of the Niu family was done by Aunt Niu, but Uncle Niu and Niu Yu went out to work. Today's bowl was actually washed by Niu Yu, and she has been here for a long time, but she hasn't seen Aunt Niu. In the past, as long as Sheng Qingqing's voice was heard, Aunt Niu would usually come out soon.

But the father and son of the Niu family were unimpressed, Niu Yu lazily collapsed on the chair, and said: "My mother went back to her mother's house, isn't it almost the New Year's Day, go back to give a gift." It's a good thing you're here, otherwise my father and I would have had to eat bread at noon. ”

Sheng Qingqing understood in an instant.

Their family has no relatives, so naturally they don't have this rule, but they forgot about it.

"Then this bowl will be left to Brother Xiaoyu to wash, don't let me fall it." Sheng Qingqing laughed, which was a return to the ridicule that the food was poisonous just now.

Niu Yu snorted twice, "Brother's method of washing dishes, don't you still understand?" Definitely a lot of one! ”

Sheng Qingqing couldn't help laughing.

In the memory of the original owner, Niu Yu was very naughty when he was a child, but his father couldn't find a way to teach him a lesson, because this kid promised to be good in front of you, and he began to be naughty again when he turned his head. In the end, Aunt Niu found a job to wash dishes for Niu Yu, and promised him that if he cleaned a bowl, he would give him a candy to eat. If you break a bowl, you will be beaten.

Candy is very attractive to children. At that time, Niu Yu was only five or six years old, about the same age as Sheng Siming, but his brain was not as good as Sheng Siming, so he was stupid.

Five or six-year-old children, whose palms are not as big as the mouth of the bowl, can they wash the dishes, so basically they have never successfully washed the dishes. Every time I was inevitably beaten, I never tasted sugar. Although Aunt Niu lost some bowls, she was able to lock this naughty boy in front of the dishwasher, which greatly reduced the chance of Niu Yu making trouble, so as not to make trouble for the people in the village.

"By the way, you and the second uncle know about last night?"

Niu Yu blinked, nodded and said, "I don't know, my mother won't let me go out, but my mother went by herself, and my father also went to see it, and I heard that I also helped you shout a few times." ”

Sheng Qingqing smiled gratefully at Second Uncle Niu.

She felt that the voices that took the lead in shouting to drive Liu Qiucui out last night sounded very familiar, and sure enough, there was Second Uncle Niu among them. and the woman who helped Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming up from the ground last night, although she couldn't see her face clearly when it was dark, Sheng Qingqing recognized it at a glance, it was clearly Aunt Niu.

"Hands, hands." Second Uncle Niu didn't take any credit, and said with a smile: "You children are so difficult, how can you watch that vicious woman bully you." ”

He said it lightly, but Sheng Qingqing had already taken this kindness to heart. What's more, their sister and brother rubbed a lot of meals at Niu's house, which is also a kind of kindness.

Sheng Qingqing took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Don't thank you for your kindness, I will earn money in the future, and I will definitely invite my second uncle and aunt to have a good meal." ”

Niu Yu was not satisfied when he heard it, "Why is it only my father and mother, what about me?!" Sister Aqing, don't forget me! ”

"If you don't ask for it, you will pay for it yourself when the time comes." Sheng Qingqing unceremoniously gave him a roll of the eyes.

Second Uncle Niu laughed.

After sitting at Niu's house for a while, and talking about some lively things in ten miles and eight villages, Sheng Qingqing got up and said goodbye.

Before leaving, Niu Yu stuffed the cleaned dishes, chopsticks and plates into her basket, grabbed a paper bag from the house, and put it in together.

"Eh, what's this...... We can't ask for it for nothing! Sheng Qingqing wanted to refuse.

Before, the family was poor and had no choice, and they had already spent a lot of things on the Niu family, but now their family can barely make ends meet, and then go to take other people's things, but it is a little shameless.

"It's not a rare thing." Niu Yu slapped away her refusal hand, stuffed it into the basket without saying anything, and then said: "It's just some persimmon cakes, my mother made them herself, you take them back and give them to Siming to eat." Zhizhi, that naughty girl, don't give it. ”

Persimmons are really not a good thing.

Shengjia Village is near the mountain, and there is a large area of ownerless persimmon trees on the side of the mountain. Every autumn, the villagers have to go in groups to pick, whether it is to keep it for the children to eat as fruit, or to make persimmons like Aunt Niu, it is a good choice.

Sheng Qingqing didn't refuse, but when she heard Niu Yu's words, she couldn't help but sneer, "Brother Xiaoyu, this narrow ghost, if Zhizhi hears your words, I'm afraid I'll have trouble with you again." ”

"Let's make trouble!" Niu Yu waved his hand very indifferently, and said with a smile: "Am I still afraid that she will not be a little girl." ”

This is pure bragging.

If Sheng Zhizhi's girl really makes trouble, her temper is amazing, don't talk about Niu Yu, even Sheng Qingqing's sister, she can't do anything about her.

"You just blow it, I'll go back and tell Zhizhi." Sheng Qingqing gloated and ran home with the basket.

Niu Yu was taken aback, thinking that she really wanted to talk to Sheng Zhizhi, and immediately wanted to catch up.

It's a pity that Sheng Qingqing ran very fast, and the courtyard door was closed again, leaving Niu Yu anxious outside.

……

Sheng Qingqing is not the kind of person who can be high-minded, and she is also worried that if Sheng Zhizhi is really angry, it will not end well.

So after entering the courtyard, she turned back to a serious appearance, and she acted as if nothing had happened.

I went to the backyard to take a look, and the two children were still playing there.

Sheng Siming is relatively quiet, and has been observing the rise of each plant on the side. After watering the space spring water, those green onions, as well as the alfalfa grass, grew lush in the cold winter, and they all grew in the backyard of the Sheng family, and outsiders could not see this magical scene.

On the other hand, Sheng Zhizhi was in a panic and kept teasing the two rabbits. Sheng Qingqing was very suspicious that if she hadn't given the two rabbits spring water, the two little pitiful people would have been played to death by Sheng Zhizhi.

But now the two rabbits look very strong and have snow-white hair, so Sheng Qingqing is not too worried.

While the two children were playing, she planned to clean up the house inside and out.

The Sheng family has been poor for so many years, and the valuable things at home have long been sold as soon as they can be sold, but it is not excluded whether there are fish that have slipped through the net. After all, it was the three children who were in charge before.

And this is almost the New Year, you should really clean up your home, which is not only hygienic, but also can have a good New Year.

Cleaning the house will not require spring water, which is too wasteful. Until now, the water source in the space has never been cut off. There is still a lot of water left in the kitchen tank, which was fetched from the river when Kong Gaoming was there before. Sheng Qingqing poured a large basin from it and found another rag.

This rag was actually torn from the worn clothes worn by their siblings, and it was used to scrub and make the best use of it.

With these two things, Sheng Qingqing scrubbed and cleaned up the main house back and forth. As for the guest rooms and kitchen, one is not necessary to clean, and the other is cleaned every day, which is very clean.

Not to mention, this cleaning has really made some discoveries.

In a small corner, there were many wooden boxes piled up. Most of these wooden boxes are half a person high, and they were all built by Father Sheng himself when he was still alive. But because it didn't use good wood and it was bulky, no one bought it, so it was piled up here. But I don't know when, there was a nest of small animals, and a nest was made here.

"Mi-"

A tiny tanuki was shivering in a corner surrounded by a box. It looks like it's not a full moon yet, but there is no sign of a female cat living around, and it's very thin. Although he sensed Sheng Qingqing's presence and struggled to escape, he had no strength, so he could only shrink in place and scream in a low voice.

Sheng Qingqing reached out and stroked the small body gently, feeling that he could envelop its body with one hand.

It's too small, and it's too thin.

seemed to feel the warmth of Sheng Qingqing's palm, and the kitten, who was trembling, slowly calmed down. Its eyes were amber, and it was looking around blankly for Sheng Qingqing's figure at this time.

"Cutie." Sheng Qingqing was amused.

She thought about it and found a little spring water from the space. It's not much, just a small spoonful, and it comes to the kitten's mouth.

The little civet cat seemed to be able to sense that this was a good thing, and without urging, he immediately leaned over and drank all the spring water on the spoon, and finally did not let go at all, only licked the spoon clean.

After drinking the spring water, the spirit of the little civet cat really improved a lot. At least its cry was a little louder, not as it had just been, out of breath, and its voice was faint.

The kitten was lying comfortably on the ground, but it was still catching Sheng Qingqing's figure with his eyes. It seemed to know that Sheng Qingqing was the one who brought it life.

Sheng Qingqing tried to touch it again, and this time the kitten not only did not tremble, but also leaned towards her palm. Sheng Qingqing grabbed it.

After the kitten has the spirit, it is a little naughty. It thought that Sheng Qingqing was playing with it, so it held Sheng Qingqing's fingers with its two front paws, its small mouth gently bit on its fingers, and its two hind paws also kicked on Sheng Qingqing's arms.

After the cat was scratched in his hand, he could see it more intuitively.

It has definitely not been more than a month, it should have been about ten days after it was born, the little claws and fangs have not yet grown, and the mouth is gnawed on the fingers, Sheng Qingqing can only feel the crispy and numb feeling, without the slightest pain. I don't know where the female cat has gone. It stands to reason that only after three months will the female cat abandon the kitten.

Sheng Qingqing gently touched the kitten's body twice.

"It seems that your mother doesn't want you anymore, just follow me in the future, I will definitely take care of you." Your eyes are the same as amber, so will you be called amber from now on? ”

"Mi ——?"

Sheng Qingqing smiled and held it in her arms, only as a kitten agreed.
