Chapter 19: Fortune
Qu Xiaobai and Qu Xiaojiang laughed for a while, and Qu Xiaojiang came to rummage through the woods carefully, after all, this place is really not small, in my memory, people said that those white fir trees were found next to a big tree that was knocked down by lightning, think about it, dry goods can be dried out of more than 50 catties, so how amazing that large area will be at that time.
Her eyes kept sweeping around the woods, holding a small shovel and turning over the leaves of the trees, hoping to see any traces, and a few hours passed, but the two of them found nothing, the sun had reached the top of their heads, and the heat made people sweat profusely.
Qu Xiaojiang has wilted now, and without the lively jumping just now, it will be very frustrating to have no gain. In addition, it was already noon to eat, Qu Xiaojiang was also hungry, and people immediately wilted, slumped, and lost their energy.
Qu Xiaobai also knew that Qu Xiaojiang was an eight-year-old child after all, and he didn't expect Qu Xiaojiang to help him, but when he saw Qu Xiaojiang's appearance, he was still distressed, so he asked Qu Xiaojiang to sit on a big tree stump, took out the corn tortilla in his arms and handed it to his younger brother, "You just sit here and eat, sister, I'm looking around, if we really can't find it, let's go back today and talk about it tomorrow." ”
Qu Xiaojiang took the tortilla embarrassedly, he came to help his sister, but he didn't expect that he would feel very tired, thirsty and hungry after a while.
Qu Xiaobai searched for a long time and still didn't find it, and he was also a little discouraged.
She couldn't help but wonder if the words of the people at that time were rumors, but it was not right, she remembered that the person was after this summer, the family bought a bicycle and started to do some small business everywhere, if not, the family's family conditions were not good, if you want to buy a bicycle, it must be impossible.
So she believes that this story must be true, the problem is that she has seen the whole forest, where are the big trees that have been struck down by lightning. She had already turned around several times, but she had not noticed a large tree that had fallen to the ground, and her brother was sitting on the stump.
Wait for the stump, if there is no point in this sentence, maybe the first half of the big tree has been sawn off and there is only a stump left?
If so, the man may have been talking about a stump, but the stump turned into a big tree by people passing it around. There is really this possibility, the people in the village love to gossip, and the original words have changed their flavor when they come and go.
Qu Xiaobai turned over the stump, took the shovel and gently brushed away the leaves on the ground, and his eyes were immediately full of surprise.
It's a white fir!
Sure enough, it is a white fir, full of dense, dense white firs, growing full and fat, although the flowers are close together, but they are all very rich, he uses a shovel to clean up the leaves on it little by little, but unfortunately there are many more, there is no way to clean up, because there is no place to put his feet at all. It seems that it is still necessary to pick out a piece of these first, and the rest can be cleaned up little by little.
"Qu Xiaojiang, come on! There are so many white fir trees here! Qu Xiaobai called his brother in a low voice.
Qu Xiaojiang jumped down, and when he saw it, he couldn't believe his eyes, and just wanted to cheer, Qu Xiaobai covered his mouth, "Don't shout and scream, so much." The key alarms others, do we share it with others or not? Then your piglets and chicks will be gone. "It's not that she's selfish, this kind of windfall, of course, has to make a lot of money, it doesn't matter if it alarms these children, but everyone in the village is talkative, and when it reaches the ears of the grandparents, the money will definitely not be kept, and it is not that the grandparents want to leave.
Qu Xiaobai didn't plan to make wedding dresses for others, just the eccentric appearance of his grandparents, let her get close to them, she didn't want to, there was already a father in this family who didn't want to die because of his foolish filial piety and went up the mountain to collect medicine, and she was reborn not to make cattle and horses for the Qu family, he just wanted to save money with what he could. It is enough to support her younger brother and herself, enough for them to go to school in the future, she doesn't need to worry about her father dropping out of school because he can't get the money, and she doesn't have to worry about her family, in case something happens, when she needs to see a doctor, she begs her grandfather to tell her grandmother and there is nowhere to borrow a penny.
This time, she will never let her family be in this kind of predicament, so she will only harvest the money quietly, and will definitely not let others know about it in a big way.
Qu Xiaojiang no longer needs Qu Xiaobai's instructions, seeing Bai Fir is like seeing his own mother, he has never seen his mother since he was born, and it is estimated that seeing his mother is not as close as seeing Bai Fir at this time, these are all glittering money in his eyes, and all of them are there, the little hand carrying a small shovel is called a hard work, careful, and in addition to the numbness of hands and feet, the two of them almost didn't get together for a while to fill the back basket, but there are still large pieces of leaves in it that have not been cleaned up, Both of them believe that there must be a lot of white fir trees underneath that have not been poached.
Qu Xiaojiang was worried about what would happen if these white fir trees were found if they left! It won't be from their house, and the piglet will fly away.
Qu Xiaobai thought about it, not really, no one usually goes this way, besides, didn't the two of them find it after looking for a long time just now, not to mention someone else, pulling Qu Xiaojiang to pick a lot of grass and cover it on top of the white fir, and then threw the raspberry and wild fruit on it, and at first glance, the camouflage was very good, and there was no other thing in these at all.
Qu Xiaojiang almost clapped his hands happily, his sister is so smart, the two of them held hands and went down the mountain, and when they met friends who were still going down the mountain, many people were hungry and tired, and went back to eat, and saw Qu Xiaojiang and Qu Xiaobai, Qu Xiaobai had one of those wild fruits, and everyone immediately understood that the two sisters and brothers of the Qu family did not pick mushrooms, but picked a large handful of wild fruits.
Back at home, Qu Xiaobai opened his father's house and spread the plastic sheeting on the ground, this house is the south room, the sun is a lot of sunshine all day, as long as you open the door, it is sunny all day long, and the white fir is the most suitable place here, anyway, his cheap father will not come back.
So the two of them moved like ants, going back and forth several times, and finally got all the white fir back, Qu Xiaojiang looked at the room full of white fir firs, and simply covered his mouth and rolled on the bed happily, this is rich, rich.
This time, their little pig couldn't run properly.
Qu Xiaobai rolled his eyes, can Qu Xiaojiang pursue it a little.
The door of the two people was locked, and they didn't eat dinner when they were tired, Qu Xiaobai really didn't have the strength to cook, so the two of them ate a few wild fruits, and fell asleep on the kang for a day and a night. After all, the two of them are too small, and such manual labor is indeed too heavy a burden for them.
