"Second sister, let's go into the house first." Before the star fruit and cotton peach entered the door, Cherry hurriedly pulled the rice peach and walnut into the east room first, and gave a few words of advice before coming out.

Star fruit and cotton peach both hung their heads and walked into the courtyard.

Cherry pretended not to be like that, bent her eyes, and greeted her with a smile: "The eldest sister and the third sister are back?" My second sister and Walnut and I just sorted out the firewood stack, do you see it neat? ”

Carambola smiled without force: "Sakura, we didn't get any money." At noon, I had to think about withdrawing my son. ”

Cherry hurriedly shrugged her shoulders casually, and said haha: "No, no, there are a lot of mushrooms left from yesterday, I'll go out with Brother Akiyama in a while and dig out some birds' eggs." "Looking at my sister's expression of crying, I don't know how many grievances I have eaten at the third aunt. Knowing this, she shouldn't have come up with an idea to ask for money, she still knew too little about the people and things in this place.

"Sakura, don't dare to do that thing up the tree. You should take the walnuts and go out to dig some wild vegetables and come back. My eldest sister and I will also go to the empty field to see if there is any grain left. The second sister was at home to pack the mushrooms and wait to cook. In a few words, the cotton peach has been arranged. Anyway, I didn't eat in the morning, but I had to eat at noon.

"Hey," everyone did as they were told. There was still an hour before noon, and you had to be quick with your hands and feet to get something to eat.

Wild vegetables are still abundant in autumn, especially the shepherd's cabbage in autumn, which is tender and fresh.

Cherry came back with walnuts in a small basket full of bamboo before noon. She thought with some worry, don't look at a bamboo full of bamboo, there is nothing to blanch with water, and there are many sisters in the family...... I hated myself for being a deputy director of the Forestry Bureau in my previous life, but in this life, I couldn't mix it with stuttering, and I watched my sisters starve.

When I got home, star fruit and cotton peach hadn't come back yet, and Mi Tao was standing in the courtyard talking to Yue Fu: "Uncle, ...... are you?"

Yue Fu held a small bamboo plate in his hand, on which were neatly placed three small nest heads. He looked ashamed: "Mi Tao, when your sister comes back, you tell her that the uncle can't help with the land money, and he wants to help from other places, but he is powerless." The uncle's family is also in difficulty, you can have a meal together with these three nests, and then the uncle will find another way in the evening. ”

"Uncle, you ......" Mi Tao's voice was a little astringent. The situation of the uncle's family is also very tight, and the sisters all know it.

"Alas, among these brothers, your fourth uncle is okay, but it's a pity that he has been working abroad for many years. If he could have reached out for help, it wouldn't have been like this. Yue Fu sighed, stuffed the bamboo plate into Mi Tao's hand, and turned around and walked out of the yard.

After a while, the star fruit and cotton peach returned. At this time, the wheat and beans had already been harvested, but the sweet potatoes and corn had not yet been harvested, and the two only picked up a few vegetable leaves.

Hearing that the uncle sent the nest, the star fruit sighed again: "The uncle's family also doesn't take the next meal, and it's not much better than us." These three nest heads are probably pulled out of the mouths of the two elder brothers. ”

"I can't care so much, let's deal with noon first. Dinner hasn't been settled yet. "Mi Tao is already washing wild vegetables with quick hands and feet.

"Sister Cherry~~" Several sisters were busy working in the courtyard, and a crisp call came from the gate of the courtyard.

"Autumn Red?" Cherry hurriedly greeted him: "Why are you here?" Come into the courtyard and sit. "Qiuhong is Akiyama's eldest sister, eight years old this year. But the size is about the same as a cherry, and the strength is the same as her brother's, very big. She carried a bamboo basket with a few leaves on it, and she couldn't see what was inside.

"No, I'm here to fetch the bamboo basket, it's time to eat soon, I'll take the bamboo basket and leave."

"You wait, I'll get it for you." The small bamboo basket containing the mushrooms yesterday was still at home.

I heard that Qiuhong came to ask for a bamboo basket, and Mian Tao helped take out the basket.

Qiu Hong took the bamboo basket, stuffed the one in her hand into the cherry hand with her backhand, and freed her hand to hold the cherry's arm affectionately: "Sister Cherry, my brother saw everything in the morning, and ran to tell Brother Runsheng." Your third aunt is not a thing. No, this is what Brother Runsheng asked me to give you, and inside are two white-flour steamed buns. He couldn't come back to the school for a while, so he asked me to give you a message, asking you not to worry, and he will discuss it when he comes back in the evening. ”

"This?" Isn't it his lunch that Runsheng brought back from the school? Akiyama is really, his mouth is so fast, as if he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Cherry pushed the bamboo basket back: "I can't ask for this, Qiuhong, you send it back to Brother Runsheng quickly." ”

"Then I don't care." Qiu Hong jumped out and said with a smile: "What about this basket, it's Brother Runsheng's, you can return him when you come back at night." As he spoke, he jumped up and ran away, turned around again, rolled up his hands, put them to his lips, and shouted loudly:

"Sister Cherry!! There are also a dozen or so bird eggs in that basket, which my brother specially went to dig up in the morning! He climbed a tree and fell on his ass and was embarrassed to come, so he didn't want me to tell you!! Hahaha~~~" After saying that, he shook his hand, laughed and ran away.

"This Akiyama" Mian Tao deliberately took the tune: "He didn't treat his own sister so well." Alas, I don't know how it fell, whether the ass bloomed or not. ”

Cherry glared at her: "Will tease me!" No, white-flour steamed buns and bird eggs, the dinner at night has fallen. ”

At noon, the sisters took the nest head and wild vegetables sent by the uncle, and made do with lunch.

In the afternoon, cherries and walnuts still went to dig wild vegetables, and star fruit took rice peaches to the town's embroidery workshop, wanting to ask if there was any embroidery work to do. She and Mi Tao's female celebrities are good, if there is embroidery to do, you can earn a few more, and the family must have a source of income. Cotton peach stays at home. The dilapidated house has to be watched by someone.

Runsheng was afraid that Cherry would say something else about the two steamed buns, so he got out of the school and took the bamboo basket while Cherry was not at home.

In the evening, the star fruit and rice peach came back empty-handed. There is work in the embroidery workshop, but the two of them are novices, and there is no deposit, so they don't let them live.

"If I have a deposit, do I need to be in such a hurry?" Mi Tao was angry, roaring all the way.

"Alright, let's eat." Carambola pulled her to sit down.

The dinner in the evening was wild vegetable egg drop soup, white flour buns, and two nests sent by the eldest mother. There was little rice but a lot of soup, and the sisters were all full.

After the meal, Mi Tao and Star Fruit taught Walnut Girl Red in the East House, and Cotton Peach sat on a small wooden bench in the courtyard.

Cherry packed up the dishes and chopsticks and quietly came to the side of the cotton peach.

"Third sister, what are you thinking?" After thinking about it, she wanted to solve the dilemma of food shortage at home, and she had another way. But this matter has to be discussed with Mian Tao first.

"Nothing." Mian Tao turned around, her face was not very good.

Seeing that it was a cherry, Mian Tao smiled at her dryly: "Walnut is studying girl, why don't you go to study together?" ”

"Third sister, don't open the topic, your face is not right, what were you thinking just now?" Cherry doesn't know how to be a female celebrity at all, and she doesn't want to learn, she can run away if she can, and she can hide if she can.

Seeing that she hadn't escaped Cherry's eyes, Mian Tao couldn't help but glare at her: "I suffered a fire and became a human spirit." As he spoke, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, trembled slightly, and he said softly: "I saw my eldest sister secretly crying last night." Today, there is such a fuss for the sake of the land, I don't know how uncomfortable she will be. ”

"It's me who is not good, I shouldn't have come up with an idea to ask the third aunt for money." Cherry sat softly beside the cotton peach, a little self-reproachful. Those two acres of land have become the eldest sister's heart disease, and if the family has money in the future, they will definitely buy it back.

"How can I blame you for this? In our current situation, if there is a way, we naturally have to give it a try. The eldest sister even praised me for making your head more flexible. Mian Tao stretched out her hand and gently hugged Cherry's shoulder: "Sakura, you still have injuries on your body, don't worry too much about things at home, there is a third sister here." ”

"Third sister, I have something I want to ask. Our family's land was sold to the third aunt, is there no other document or proof except the title deed? Has anyone notarized it? ”

"It's okay to have a title deed. Speaking of which, we were in a hurry to treat your injuries at that time, and the third aunt was in a hurry to take advantage of this, so we were in a hurry, and we only made the title deed, but we didn't find the chief to notarize. Mian Tao was a little puzzled: "You Nizi, what are you doing here?" ”

Really!! Cherry whispered with joy in her heart

"Third sister, now we don't want to come back, but I have a way to get the grain back from the field. It's just a bit ...... Don't worry. ”

"You say"

"We signed a title deed with the third aunt, but we just sold the land to her, but the grain in the field was not clearly stipulated, and no one notarized it. So if no one fights for these grains, it will be the third aunt's, but if we speak, we can talk about it. This land was only under the hands of the third aunt a few days ago, but the grain in the field was already ripe, and it was obvious that it was not planted by her family. Then naturally it was planted by our family, and naturally it should belong to us, even if the government comes, I can't say anything. As for us, we don't have to say anything to the third aunt, just go to the field and take back the grain. It's just that doing this is equivalent to tearing your face with the third aunt's family. "But today, the third aunt didn't give a penny, and there was a trouble, which can be regarded as having torn her face. If she is unkind, don't blame them for being unjust. Their sisters are now starving and struggling to survive.

"This ......" Mian Tao thought about it seriously a few times, and said calmly: "The method, it's a good way...... I'm just afraid that the eldest sister won't agree. ”

Cherry nodded: "If you do this, you can't let the third aunt know, and you have to take back all the food before she knows about it." It's a bit sneaky. But third sister, what we did was justified and above board, this was originally our food. You know, even if the grain in the field is recovered, the third aunt will still cheat us for more than a dozen taels of land money. She also considered that the eldest sister might not agree, so she discussed with Mian Tao first.

"Third sister, we are out of food now, and the uncle's family has already helped us for two meals, and he can't stand it anymore. Now, if we don't do this, how can we solve this urgent need? How can I save some food before winter? After Cherry finished speaking, she didn't say anything more. The third sister is a rational person, she knows.

Mian Tao was silent for a while, and tapped her palm vigorously: "Okay!" I'll tell my eldest sister about this. ”
