"Brother Akiyama, why did you go for so long?" Cherry stepped forward to open the door for him, and asked casually: "But what happened to Mama Qu's family?" ”

"Nothing." Akiyama looked calm: "I haven't been there for a few days, and the water tank is dry." I'm going to have to fill it up, don't I? Mama Qu had to keep me for lunch, and when I came and went, I was delayed for some time. ”

When an honest person is panicked, it is easier to be believed. Cherry didn't doubt it, turned around and closed the door: "Come into the house, I'll keep all the food for you." The gray bean root is fragrant and noodles, but it is delicious. If you don't come again, the walnuts should eat your portion. ”

"Really? Can you really eat it? Akiyama grinned, showing a neat row of teeth, and strode towards the house with his long legs raised: "Then I want to taste it, this is something I've never eaten before." ”

Entering the house, Mi Tao and Mian Tao were cleaning up the mess on the table, while Star Fruit opened the pot and prepared to take out the share of Akiyama left in the pot.

"How did you come? When I come to my house for dinner, I have to catch up with you, don't I? Mi Tao deliberately stared at Akiyama's left shoulder.

Akiyama's left shoulder trembled and accidentally touched his left hand on his body, and the stinging pain came from the ground, and the sweat on his forehead came out again. He couldn't help but hum, and quietly peeked at it, Mi Tao had turned around, star fruit was setting the meal, cotton peach was out of the house to wash the dishes, and the cherry hadn't entered the house yet. Seeing that no one noticed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and forced back the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead.

Akiyama exhaled secretly, but he didn't see Walnut holding his little hands against the wall, hiding in the back room and secretly looking at him. Big eyes flickered around his left hand.

"No, you eat first" Cherry entered the house and handed Akiyama a bowl of water: "I'll go and sharpen the family's farm tools, and we'll go to the mountains to dig again in the afternoon." By the way, don't tell me about this yet. ”

"Oh." Akiyama lowered his head and gently pinched the yam root, the aroma of the nose came to his face, and then he took a bite, the fragrant noodles were glutinous and soft, if he dipped in a little sugar, it was no worse than those high-end dim sum made by the dim sum shop in the town!!

He held the yam root in his right hand and his left hand hanging slightly, and while eating, he said to the cherries doing the work in the yard: "I'll go with you in the afternoon!" I'm okay with that! ”

"Come on, there are so many things, if you go, how can you get enough points?" Mi Tao came out of the back room, didn't know what she was holding in her hand, and glared at him angrily.

Akiyama smiled and said, "I'm just going to work, I don't want anything when I'm done." ”

"Needless to say, I don't know yet?" Mi Tao walked to the opposite side of Autumn Mountain and sat down, suddenly lowered her voice, and said reproachfully: "Do you really want to go with you in the afternoon?" As he spoke, he glanced at his left hand and continued: "With your appearance, you go, can you do work?" ”

Akiyama's eyes widened, and he subconsciously hid his hand, a little slurred: "Mi, Sister Mi Tao, you ...... How can you see it? ”

Mi Tao glared at him, looked at the star fruit, cotton peach and cherry doing work in the yard, and said softly: "You can hide it from them, but you can't hide it from me." I knew something was wrong when I looked at your face. ”

Akiyama swallowed what was in his mouth and smiled bitterly: "If I had known, I wouldn't have come." But I'm afraid you'll be worried, so you can't do it if you don't come. ”

"It's useless to talk less." Mi Tao glared at him again: "What's going on?" You're being beaten at home, aren't you? Mi Tao knew in his heart that with Qiushan's size and strength, there was no kid in the village who could bully him. Looking at the way he was hiding and hiding, he must have asked his father to beat him.

"Yes." Qiu Shan lowered his head and whispered about Qiu Hong's accidental chopping of the old kudzu chicken.

"Alas, you baby." Mi Tao also sighed: "Everything wants to fight for the head, and you want to stand up to it when the sky falls, it's too strong." ”

"Qiuhong is always my sister, she is young, and she is a female doll, with fine skin and tender meat, how can she be beaten? Besides, if this leaves your house and cherries or walnuts get into trouble, aren't you the first to stand up for them? Sister Mi Tao, don't worry, I have rough skin and thick meat, and it's nothing to hit twice. You see, isn't this eating the same way? As he spoke, he took a bite of the yam, squinted his eyes and chewed it, and sighed: "It's so fragrant!" But somehow he pulled his left hand, and he inhaled with a 'hiss' in pain, and accidentally choked the yam crumbs in his mouth.

Mi Tao hurriedly pushed the water forward, squinting at him: "You will be strong!" Look, you're capable!! ”

"Hey...... Ahem, ahem!! ......" Akiyama laughed and coughed as he kept looking into the courtyard, for fear that the conversation between the two would be heard by the other sisters in the courtyard.

"Don't worry, if they can't hear it, I won't tell you." Mi Tao looked at Akiyama with a change of expression. After a moment of silence, she said in a normal tone that she had never used before, "Akiyama, I ask you." ”

"Well, you ask." Akiyama nodded.

"My fourth sister Sakura is playing with you all day long, if something like today happens outside, will you protect Sakura like Qiuhong?"

Akiyama almost didn't even think about it: "That's nature." If anyone dares to bully Sakura, I can't beat that girl. If Sakura gets into any trouble, I'll carry it on my back. Even if you want to beat Sakura even if you want to beat Sister Carambola or Sister Mi Tao, it won't work! I'll take it all for her! ”

Mi Tao didn't expect Akiyama to say so much, and he said it so naturally, after being slightly stunned, he immediately laughed: "I know that you are a reliable person." Sakura is with you, than with Runsheng, so I can rest assured. As he spoke, he took out the thing in his hand, which was a small white porcelain bottle: "This is the swelling potion used for Sakura's burns, come, you come to the back room, and I will apply some medicine to you." ”

"Hey" Akiyama responded happily and got up to follow. He was happy for Mi Tao's sentence 'more relieved than Runsheng', forgot all the pain in his hands, and danced into the back room.

The autumn mountain meal has not yet been eaten, and the cherries have already prepared something and are about to go up the mountain.

Akiyama knew that there was an injury on his hand, and Mi Tao was staring, so he didn't dare to follow. Just two cotton peach and cherry went. Walnut was still too young to ask her to go up the mountain, while star fruit and rice peach had to do laundry at home in the afternoon. It's a steady source of income, and there's no room for delay.

"I have to think of a way to get this laundry work in order" On the way up the mountain, Cherry casually discussed with Mian Tao. It's a pity to throw away this laundry job, but it's too tiring to keep it. And although the laundry is done with warm water in winter, it is also cool hands after all, and the sisters are all of the age of the fast, and the body can't touch the cold: "No, how about we subcontract this work?" ”

Mian Tao shook her head: "That's it, I can earn a dozen yuan a day, if I subcontract again, how much can I earn a day?" The money we saved by selling ducks can't be touched, it's the seed money for the next spring. Right now, we eat and drink and rely on these dozen or so dollars. ”

"What then? In a few days, the river will freeze, and it will be even colder. Cherry sighed.

"If we can really sell the gray bean root and make a lot of money, maybe we can stop doing this for a living." Mian Tao also sighed, she also knew that it was not easy for the eldest sister and the second sister to wash the two large basins of clothes every day, but for now there was only one way to do it.

Cherry hung her shoulders and walked with her feet to pick up the dead grass on the side of the road. I was thinking wildly in my mind, in my previous life, what was the important thing about washing clothes? Big clothes and small clothes, throw them all into the washing machine, get them all done, take them out and wear them again. So what now? Is it possible to use the principle of the washing machine?

Her mind suddenly cleared. The washing machine washes clothes, that is, the unevenness on the wall is constantly rotated back and forth to achieve the purpose of laundry. A bucket and a concave and convex wall are not difficult to do. In the previous life, the rotation of the washing machine relied on the motor, so now it is not enough to change the motor to manual? It's still a lot of trouble, but at least it's much easier than manual laundry, and you don't need to get wet!!

She was a little excited and thought, there is a drama in this matter, and she will go home to test it!

Mian Tao noticed her strangeness and asked, "What do you want, happy?" ”

"It's fine." Cherry pointed to the mark on a nearby tree: "Look, let's follow this, and we'll be there in half an hour." "It's a matter of whether the washing machine will work out or not. And even if it does, it can't come out of her mouth. Cheap Daddy's Akira is no longer usable, and she hasn't found a new Akira yet, so she doesn't dare to talk nonsense.

The cotton peach fox glanced at her suspiciously, tightened the iron pickaxe on her back, and continued to walk forward.

On this part of the road, Akiyama and Cherry searched for it, and it took half an hour to stop and go. Now it took only two quarters of an hour to walk straight ahead. The mountain is covered with gravel, and there are all kinds of old tree roots, dead grass roots, dead branches and rotten leaves, etc., even if you bring all the tools, it is difficult to dig up. Besides, the strength of the two female dolls of Cherry and Cotton Peach was not as strong as that of Akiyama, and the two of them were tired and busy all afternoon, and only then did they dig out five yam roots, one of which was even dug off.

When the two of them carried the yam root down the mountain and entered the village, it was the time when the sun was setting in the west and the sky was full of sunset. Families began to light fires for cooking, and smoke wafted everywhere. There seemed to be something unusual outside the courtyard of his house, and there were many people gathered around, pointing and pointing, not knowing what was going on.

"What's going on?" Cherry subconsciously pulled his feet and ran.

"Don't panic." Mian Tao caught up and breathed evenly: "It seems to be the gate of the courtyard of the uncle's house." ”

"Yes." Cherry also saw clearly. As she ran closer and closer, she saw that star fruit and rice peach were also mixed in the crowd, and the uncle was pulling something with someone, and the crowd was surging, and she seemed to see the figure of the third aunt Ding Juhua.
