"Eldest sister, you rest for a while, I'll come, but the fourth sister doesn't know what the eldest sister does to cut bamboo?" Liu Yiya saw that her eldest sister was tired of cutting, and a layer of dense sweat quickly appeared on her forehead, Liu Yiya felt a little sorry for her eldest sister's body, her eldest sister had fallen from the mountain before, and her body was not yet well? I can't be tired of my eldest sister now.

Liu Yiya took the initiative to take the firewood knife from her eldest sister and chopped the bamboo.

"Eldest sister, didn't you see that there was no bowl at home? I wondered, if there is bamboo, and the bamboo is cut between the bamboo and the bamboo knots, this is not something that can be packed in a bamboo tube.

First, we don't have to wait for the bowl to eat, one person has a bamboo tube with things, and you can also eat, and secondly, the eldest sister is also afraid that grandma will get sick again, and when the time comes, the last porcelain bowl in the family will be broken, I am afraid that there will be no bowl to eat in our family in the future. Liu Yiyu fell down from the mountain three days ago, although he had been raised for three days, he didn't eat anything to make up for it, after cutting the bamboo a few times, his body was a little weak, sweating, and seeing his fourth sister take the firewood knife in his hand and continue to chop the bamboo, Liu Yiyu did not refuse.

It's just that after Liu Yiyu fell ill, his health was not very good, and Liu Yiya was only nine years old, and the two of them had been malnourished for a long time, and they looked two or three years younger than ordinary thirteen- and nine-year-old girls.

Liu Yiyu and Liu Yiya took a lot of effort and half an hour to cut down a bamboo.

Next, Liu Yiyu first removed the bamboo branches from the main bamboo, then cut them down one by one between the bamboo and the bamboo joints, and then from the other side, one end of the bamboo tube was hollowed out and ground into a bamboo tube that could be used to present things.

It took three hours, and after Liu Yiyu made fifteen bamboo tubes, he saw that the sky had darkened, and a full moon hung in the sky.

A breeze blew, and the bamboo branches and bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest fluttered with the wind, swaying, and there was a feeling of seeping.

"The fourth sister is not afraid, where is the eldest sister?" Liu Yiya's body trembled a little, and leaned towards Liu Yiyu's side.

"Hmm".

Liu Yiyu and the two went all the way to the dark, returned to the cave where they lived, and a pile of firewood was lit outside the cave to illuminate the corner of the dark night.

"Eldest sister, what are you doing with the fourth sister, come back so late, my mother is worried." After the fifth brother Liu Yihao saw Liu Yiyu and the two of them coming back, Liu Yihao hurriedly greeted him and helped Liu Yiyu and the two of them unload the bamboo basket behind them.

"Fifth brother, my eldest sister and I went to the bamboo forest, cut a bamboo, cut down between the bamboo and the bamboo joints, the eldest sister said, one person and one bamboo tube contains things, so many people in the family, there is no need to queue up every day, waiting for the bowl to eat." Liu Yiya, who said this, said with sparkling eyes.

"Why didn't I think of that?". At first, Liu Yihao picked up the bamboo tube and looked at it, and after hearing the words of his fourth sister, his eyes lit up, and then he said, "It's still the eldest sister who is smart."

"Fifth brother, grandma has woken up, is my mother asleep? There are also sixth, seventh and eighth sisters to be properly accommodated." Liu Yiyu saw that his fourth sister and fifth brother had a bamboo tube that could be used for eating, and the two of them showed happy and satisfied expressions on their faces, which made Liu Yiyu's eyes slightly red and his heart sour.

All they think about is to have enough food and warm clothes, but in this day and age, this simple requirement has become a luxury.

"Grandma didn't wake up after the eldest sister left, my mother was injured by my grandmother today, and she rested earlier, as for the sixth sister, seventh brother and eighth sister, the second sister and the third sister fell asleep with them."

"Well, let's rest earlier, the eldest sister just found some food in the bamboo forest, let's get all this food back, it is estimated that it can be enough for us to eat for more than a month."

"Big sister, is this true?". After Liu Yihao heard his eldest sister's words, his face showed excitement, and he asked Liu Yiyu in disbelief.

Liu Yihao knows that now at the time of war, the villages of various prefectures, counties and towns, the fields are taxed very heavily, and there is no excess food in almost every household, and now spring has arrived, and the children of poor families are in charge early, and every day before dawn, they go to the mountains to pick all kinds of wild vegetables that can be eaten, and now the mountain forest where the ravine village is leaning, almost the wild vegetables that can be picked, are also picked almost, as for the deep forest, there are jackals, tigers and leopards, so that no one dares to enter.

Now, Liu Yihao heard his eldest sister say that finding a new food to eat, which can be enough for his family to eat for more than a month, how can he not make Liu Yihao excited.

"Of course it's true, good, in the future, the eldest sister will make our family better and better, at least let us have no worries about food and clothing." Liu Yiyu seems to be assuring Liu Yihao, and it seems to be saying to himself.

Liu Yiyu touched Liu Yihao's head, Liu Yihao, as the son of the Liu family, is seven years old this year, black and thin, and looks like he is seven years old, saying that he is five years old, I am afraid that some people believe it.

Halfway through the second day, about six o'clock in the morning, Liu Yiyu was thinking about the spring bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, and he got up early today.

"Big sister, what time is it now". After Liu Yiya, who was sleeping next to Liu Yiyu, noticed that there was movement next to her, Liu Yiya opened her eyes vaguely and said to her eldest sister.

After a series of chain reactions, Liu Yiya, Liu Yihao, and Liu Yishuang, who were sleeping on a kang with Liu Yiyu, also got up vaguely and got dressed.

Liu Yiyu knew in the memory of the original owner that at this hour, the original master took his younger siblings to the mountains to pick food that could fill his stomach, leaving the eldest sister to take care of the sixth sister, seventh brother and eighth sister of the family, as well as grandma and mother.

"Ahem, eldest sister, after entering the mountain, be careful, look at some third sisters, fourth sisters and your fifth brother, ahem." At this time, after Liu Li also heard the movement, Liu Li got up, his face was a little pale, he tried his best to endure the cough, and after straightening Liu Yihao's clothes, he instructed the four of them to be humane.

"A-Niang, my daughter knows, it's still early, A-Niang can still sleep!" Liu Yiyu looked at Liu Li's pale face and bloodless appearance, and coughed in a low voice, as if he was trying to endure something, Liu Yiyu said with some distress.

"Second sister, grandma hasn't woken up, don't let grandma loosen the ties, and, later, you will make wild vegetable soup for grandma, aunt and sixth sister, seventh brother and eighth sister to eat, don't save food, don't starve them, the eldest sister has found a new food, enough for our family to eat for more than a month, you just eat first, don't wait for the eldest sister." After Liu Yiyu saw his eldest sister wake up, after a few words, he took Liu Yishuang, Liu Yiya and Liu Yihao to go out with bamboo baskets on their backs.
