Putting down the hook is more than half an hour later, and the chicken feathers sink suddenly.

Qiubai quickly exerted force in his hand and pulled the bamboo pole violently.

A carp the size of a palm fluttered vigorously in the grass.

"Ahh Fish, fish, fish! What a big one! Qiu Ling was very excited when she saw this, and hurriedly took out a small wooden bucket and caught the crucian carp in it.

When the sun was setting, the two of them caught a total of three crucian carp, one the size of a palm, and the other two were smaller.

For today's harvest, the younger sister and the two were very satisfied, and the two packed up their things and rushed home.

Qiubai carried a basket on his back and a fishing rod in his hand, while Qiuling carried a wooden bucket containing fish.

Both of them were in a good mood, talking and laughing all the way.

"Eldest sister, I'll get a fishing rod next time I come out, and we'll ...... together. Yes! Qiu Ling was talking to Qiu Bai with his head sideways, and he didn't notice the protruding stone at the bottom of his feet, and the whole person fell out directly.

The barrel in her hand was crooked, and she saw that the fish was about to spill, and next to it was a stream, knee-deep.

Qiubai reflexively raised her hand to pick it up, and held the crooked barrel in her arms very accurately, but due to too much force, her left knee knelt the sharp stone, and she couldn't stand up for a long time.

In fact, she could have avoided falling at all, but she was afraid that the fish in the bucket would spill out, so she knelt down without moving.

Qiu Ling hurriedly got up from the ground to help her, "Sister, are you okay?" ”

Qiu Bai frowned and shook his head, "It's okay, I'll just take it easy." ”

Qiu Ling blamed herself, "I...... I didn't pay attention to the stone......"

"It's okay, it's just a little painful, okay, it doesn't hurt, let's go." Qiu Bai helped Qiu Ling to stand up.

When the two returned home, it was already dark, and Qiu Doudou was excited when he saw the lively fish.

"There's fish to eat! There are fish to eat! ”

Qiubai took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen, and picked the smallest fish from the wooden barrel and killed it, "There is still some pumpkin, we steamed the pumpkin, and this fish will be boiled in soup and drunk." ”

Qiu Doudou nodded again and again, and ran into the kitchen to light a fire first.

The iron pot in the back stove steamed pumpkin through the water, and the large pot in front boiled crucian carp soup, and soon the house was filled with aroma, attracting a flood of mouth.

The four siblings each ate a bowl and a half of steamed pumpkin, and the crucian carp soup was also eaten cleanly, leaving only one fish bone.

Little Qiu Xiaobao said vaguely while drinking the fish soup, "Soup...... Drink...... Soup soup ......"

Qiubai drank the last drop of soup at the bottom of the bowl, touched his bulging belly, and sighed: "I actually ate two full meals in a row!"

Qiu Ling smiled: "We will get better and better!"

Before going to bed at night, Qiu Bai suddenly asked Qiu Ling, "Does our family have no money?" ”

Qiu Ling was very puzzled when she heard this, "You are keeping all the money." ”

Qiubai choked, "My memory is not very good after I fainted that time, and I can't remember where I put my money." ”

Qiu Ling was distressed and guilty when she heard this, "I saw you put it in the wooden box under the bed." ”

"Hmm." Qiubai nodded, "Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow." ”

The next day, Qiubai squatted under the bed and looked for it. The bottom of the bed was messy and dirty, and she searched for a while before she found the box Qiu Ling said, which was wrapped in several layers of cotton cloth and wrapped tightly with straw rope.

There was also a delicate little lock hanging from the box. Qiu Baileng froze for a moment, suddenly raised her hand and groped around her neck, and a small key was pulled out of her clothes.

The key had been worn around her neck from the time she took possession of the body.

The key was inserted into the keyhole and twisted slightly, and the small lock opened with a "click".

She lifted the lid of the box, and when she saw the contents, she burst out laughing.

In addition to two and a half copper coins, there was also a silver ingot the size of a quail egg!

She reached out and pulled twice, and found that there was a gold ring and a pair of gold earrings pressed under the copper coin!

She guessed that these jewelry must have been left by Qiu's mother.

In addition to this, a piece of paper was pressed at the very bottom of the box.

She pulled out the paper and spread it out to look at it, almost dying of laughter.

There were a bunch of things drawn on the paper, and she looked at it carefully for a long time before she saw that it was a person, and the painting was a woman, why she could see that it was a woman, because the other corner was crookedly written four traditional characters, and she even guessed that she could understand it.

My wife.

She guessed that this should be drawn by Qiu's father to Qiu's mother.

She folded the painting and put it back, locked the box again, wrapped it in cotton cloth, and put it back.

Qiu Ling was already busy in the kitchen, and bursts of aroma wafted in, tempting Qiu Feng's saliva to flow.

In the middle of the wooden table is a bowl of milky white crucian carp soup, and on each side is a bowl of wild vegetable soup.

The current wild vegetable soup is not like a month ago, only the soup and no vegetables.

Because of the improvement of the climate, there are already a lot of wild vegetables, and the sisters can dig a lot of wild vegetables every day when they go out.

After the four of them finished breakfast with a smile, Qiu Bai and Qiu Ling went out together.

On the way, Qiu Ling saw that Qiu Bai was walking with a little lameness, so she asked, "Eldest sister, does your leg hurt badly?" ”

Qiubai waved his hand, "It's okay, it's certain that it hurts to fall." "By the way, where are these seeds sold?" ”

Qiu Ling glanced at Qiu Bai very distressed when she heard this, "Uncle Zhang will go to the town every half a month, and when the time comes, let's go talk to him and let him bring it back for us." ”

Qiubai nodded, "Well, it's already autumn, and I'm going to plant something." ”

The sisters only dug for a long time before digging a basket of wild vegetables, Qiubai supported his waist and said: "Let's go back today, today is fourteen, Uncle Zhang may go to the town tomorrow, let's go talk first."

Qiu Ling nodded in agreement.

After returning home and putting the basket away, and after explaining a few words to Qiu Doudou, the two went to Uncle Zhang's house together.

Uncle Zhang was very close to Qiu's house, and there was a foot-deep stream in the middle, and the two sisters waded across the stream to Uncle Zhang's house.

"Xiaoqiu Xiaoling, is there something wrong with coming here?" Aunt Zhang, who was teasing her grandson at the door, was very surprised to see the Qiubai sisters.

Qiubai smiled and shouted, "Aunt Zhang", "Is Uncle Zhang going to the town tomorrow?" ”

Aunt Zhang nodded, "What do you want to bring?" ”

"Just bring some crop seeds, and a little rice and noodles."

"Well, I'll tell him when your Uncle Zhang comes back." Aunt Zhang said.

Qiubai thanked him again and again, "How much is it, I'll give it to you first." ”

Aunt Zhang smiled and waved her hand, "It's the same when the things arrive tomorrow." ”

Qiubai nodded again and again, "It's okay, Aunt Zhang, you are busy first, we will go back first, and come back tomorrow night." ”

Aunt Zhang smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay." ”

When Qiubai Qiuling returned home, Qiudoudou had already made a fire, and the water in the pot was boiling.

Qiubai hurriedly poured the washed wild vegetables and cleaned crucian carp into the boiling water.

"Let's go fishing tomorrow, anyway, I still have some wild vegetables at home." Autumn White Road.

Qiu Ling nodded, "Hmm." ”

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Qiu Bai took the fishing rod and went out with Qiu Ling and went to the pool where he fished last time.

This time I didn't have as much luck as last time, and I didn't catch a pitifully small crucian carp until the sun went down.

When I got home, I boiled the crucian carp with wild vegetables, and the four sisters and brothers ate it happily.
