Hot pot, skewers, spicy hot, forehead, delicious. Xu Yueqing still had saliva on the corner of her mouth, "Mother! Get up quickly, there will be no water to drink any later, hurry up! Xu Weicong shook the woman on the bed, and when she saw that there had been no movement, she increased the frequency of the shake, "What are you doing!" Mom, can I sleep a little longer, I worked late yesterday! Xu Yueqing half-squinted and saw the little bun.

What a situation! Xu Yueqing sat up in a second. "Mother, hurry up and fetch water." Xiao Baozi reminded again, "Wait a minute, Xiao Baozi, what do you call me?" After Xu Yueqing asked, the two of them stared at each other, and suddenly the little bun ran away.

Xu Yueqing sat and was still thinking about how she wore it, and what the hell this place was, "Grandpa the village chief, my mother doesn't seem to know me anymore." Xiao Baozi pulled back an elder, "I said, Xiao Yueqing, do you remember the village chief's grandfather and me?" Of course Xu Yueqing doesn't know it, but then again, what the hell is this place. The village chief saw her at a loss, thinking that he really didn't remember anyone. "That's it, Xiaocong, you are optimistic about your mother, I will ask your fourth uncle to pick up water for your family, so that your mother can rest well." The village chief touched the head of the little bun, and saw that Xu Yueqing was still dumbfounded, and shook his head helplessly.

The village chief stood outside the gate of Xu's house, it was a long drought and waterlogging, presumably Xu Yueqing should also know. When she gets better, she will discuss with the little girl to prepare to move the village to store grain, if it weren't for her, it is estimated that the whole village would have disappeared a long time ago and become a ghost village.

Xu Yueqing still didn't understand, "Little bun, tell me why you want to carry water?" "Why do you always mention water, is there a problem with the water source, or is there no water to drink?" Mother, grandpa said that the only water source is only enough for the people in the village to have one load of water per household every day. At that time, my mother mentioned something secret, and there was a dispute yesterday when I was carrying water, and I was innocently pushed down. "No wonder I have a little headache, it turned out to be knocked over, it seems that the original body has a lot of secrets, and it still feels very powerful. Xu Yueqing got up from the bed, looked at Xiao Baozi, and then looked at herself, "Am I really your mother?" ”

"Mother, don't go, I'm Wei Cong, you kiss your son, I don't blame you if you don't remember, the village doctor grandfather said, it's normal for my mother not to remember." After speaking, he hugged Xu Yueqing's legs, crying and chirping, the kind who didn't let go when he was killed, for fear that Xu Yueqing would leave. "Let go and speak well. Where's your dad? Xu Yueqing has never been in love after all, let alone steamed buns, "Mother, have you really forgotten everything?" You never let me mention my father's ......" Xiao Baozi became quieter and quieter the more he spoke, and the original relationship was born out of wedlock. "So? Okay, I want to go outside, can you be at home by yourself? Xu Yueqing looked at the little bun that had been sticking to herself, thinking that she was really her own son, otherwise she would have thought she was leaving even when she got up. Mother, go wherever you go. "Pick up your thighs again, and don't let go." Okay, let go of your hands, let's do it together. Is there anything to eat at home? ”

When Xiao Baozi heard this, he kicked his calves and pulled Xu Yueqing to find something to eat. Out of the bedroom door to the yard, Xu Yueqing found that her house was really broken, a small kitchen on the west side of the yard, there were not many rice in the rice tank in the kitchen, and there were still some brown rice, not to mention the dishes. "Wei Congcong?" Xu Yueqing pulled Xiao Baozi's hand, "Tell my mother, is there a place to hide food at home?" "I don't know if there's a cellar in this place.

Although Xu Weicong was very hopeful, he still shook his head helplessly, Xu Yueqing let out a long sigh, "What about the fact that there is no such thing as a cellar at home?" "Cellar? Xu Weicong pulled Xu Yueqing to the backyard, "Mother, isn't this it?" There's a small house down there, and there's something in it that Wei Cong doesn't know. "The backyard is very desolate, and the location of the cellar is even more ......" Wei Cong, go to the front yard and bring the fire fold and close the courtyard door. Xu Yueqing thought that he was just a child, "Forget it, let's go together." ”

Anyway, you can still go up the mountain from the backyard, so I simply take the small hoe and the back basket. The cellar was not very large, there were several large vats in it, and there was nothing in the vats, and after turning around, I found a small bag of corn, half a bag of soybeans, half a box of potatoes and sweet potatoes. "Wei Cong, didn't you say that there was nothing to eat? Aren't these edible? "Doesn't this place know these things can be eaten?" Mother, these things are eaten by livestock, and like this one is even more poisonous and cannot be eaten. "The little bun is a potato, how can it be poisonous? I guess I ate sprouted potatoes. "Don't worry, my mother knows how to eat and won't have a stomachache. We'll get the stuff when we come back, we'll go to the mountains first."

Coming out of the crumbling door in the backyard, it seems that there are a lot of things to repair in this house. When he went out, Xiao Baozi took Xu Yueqing's hand and didn't leave, "Mother, are we really going up the mountain?" The village chief's grandfather said that no one was allowed to go up the mountain. "If you don't give it to go up the mountain, it is estimated that it is feudal superstition." It doesn't matter, isn't it okay if our house is so close? We're at the bottom of the mountain, and we don't go inside. ”

Xu Yueqing pulled the little bun and prepared to go up the mountain, "But, mother, mother, ...... "Alas, what do you want to do so much at a young age, "It doesn't matter, it's at the foot of the mountain, you can hear it when you shout, what are you afraid of!" If you're still scared, you go home and wait for your mother. "Just find a reason to go up the mountain by yourself." Wei Cong should follow her mother, I will protect my mother. "After speaking, Xiao Baozi still looked resolute, and it was really his own." Okay, you will be obedient, you are still young, and when you are as tall as your mother, it is not too late to protect your mother. ”

Since no one approached the mountain, the original road was gone, and the woodcutter he brought from home came in handy, Xu Yueqing cut two long sticks and sharpened one end, so that he would not fall. Xu Yueqing looked at the grass that was taller than the small bun, "Good son, my mother is carrying you, the grass here is too high, obedient." Xu Yueqing put the reluctant little bun into the back basket, "It's good in the back basket, just say if there is anything uncomfortable, okay?" Xiao Baozi reluctantly replied, um. It's good, after all, I don't know what the situation is, it's better to be safe. Xu Yueqing cut the grass and put it aside, planning to take it home to build the roof when he went down the mountain. Finally cleared a way, it seems that no one has ever climbed this mountain, there must be a lot of good things, and the grass leaks out as soon as the ground is cut. The superlative-looking perilla, dandelion, and camellia, Xu Yueqing put down the little bun, "Wei Cong, look, pinch the sprouts like this, and we'll go back and fry them later." "Arrange the small buns, Xu Yueqing digs dandelions and shepherd's cabbage.

Originally, I wanted to see if there was anything else, but when I saw that it was dark, I pulled the little bun and walked back, "You pull your mother by yourself, and we go home." Xu Yueqing held the bundled grass in his hand, "Mother, why don't I carry the basket." "Little Bun wants to help, it's not bad." You have to grow up now, you can't press it, pull the corner of your mother's clothes and go. ”
