Chapter 2 This is a brother
The kitchen soon wafted out the smell of fish, Qin Shuyu used the wormwood root dug by the roadside, and stewed it into a soup with the fish, and the small family was poor, and his sister Hua Weeping was not well nourished and thin, and the book said that eating it like this can replenish the body.
The two brought the soup, vegetables, rice, bowls and chopsticks back and forth to the hall, and Qin Shuyu shouted carefully: "Uncle, it's time to eat!" ”
A large plate of fried rape, a plate of dried vegetables, three bowls of white rice, and a pot of fish soup are the meals of a family of three.
The mother died in childbirth when Hua Cry was born, and Hua Cry cried as soon as she was born.
Hua Changting often thinks that if Hua Wai's mother is still there, she should be a happy family of four now.
"Shuyu, how is the question I left for you?" Hua Changting asked casually while eating.
"Uncle, there are two more books, and I've finished the rest." Qin Shuyu didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, and pretended to be very focused on eating.
"Well, don't you know how to write, or didn't you have time to write?"
"Not yet...... In time" Qin Shuyu's voice became smaller and smaller, and he was afraid that Hua Changting would be angry for a while.
"Then work harder, write quickly, ask if you don't understand, and there are three days left to try." Hanagatei was unexpectedly peaceful.
"Yes, uncle."
As a result, not long after eating, Hua Changting went to a private school, and Qin Shuyu ran away.
After looking around the village, Hua Weeping went home angrily and walked to Qin Shuyu's room, cursing while cleaning up the scattered books, the messy bed floated over the corner of his eyes, as if he felt that something was wrong, and when he saw it, the quilt was gone!
"Hmph, see if Daddy doesn't break your legs!" Hua Weeping ran out of the fence gate and ran towards the peach grove on the mountain.
The peach trees in this peach forest belong to every household in the village, one for this family and two or three for that household, and the peach trees were planted only because there was no food on the mountain.
The world is unfair, the land under the mountain is the property of the eunuchs, the grass people can only rent to grow grain, the harvest year after paying the grain rent can barely eat a full stomach, in the event of natural disasters and man-made disasters, no one can do anything but resign themselves to fate.
The villagers can only dig the slopes full of grass and trees mixed with boulders, and the nobles dislike them to grow some fruit trees and melons and vegetables on the mountain.
The original appearance of the peach forest is just a wild mountain peach, one year was discovered by the old people in the village, after eating the peaches, the peach pits were planted back there, more and more over time, it was planted into a large peach forest by each villager one by one, when there was a lack of food, the peach could save the lives of many people, since then, the village was called Taoyuan Village.
Although you can see the peach grove on the opposite hill at a glance from your home, it takes you two or three quarters of an hour to climb up when you walk.
Hua wept three times and climbed up the mountain into the peach forest, and in the morning, what did Qin Shuyu say about the stone wall in the peach forest, it was estimated that he must be making trouble there.
"Brother, you come out for me!" He shouted inarticulately, his mouth was stuffed with peaches, it was the time when the peaches were ripe, and in a few days, when the villagers were busy with their work, they should go up the mountain to pick peaches and sell them in the city.
"Brother? Don't think I don't know where you are, get out of ......" Before Hua Cry finished speaking, a shout came from the front: "Run!" ”
Hua was stunned, Qin Shuyu went from far to near at a very fast speed, pulled her up and rushed to the outside of the peach forest.
Hua Weeping was dragged and stumbled, and finally got out of the peach forest, Qin Shuyu looked back a few times before slowly stopping.
Shaking off Qin Shuyu's hand, Hua Wei grinded his teeth and frowned, his eyes were on fire: "What are you doing, what the hell?" I'm not afraid to fall to death if I run so fast! ”
"If you don't shout at me so loudly inside, you don't have to run." Qin Shuyu smiled and threw a large bag of things on the ground with his other hand in his armpit.
Only then did Hua Cry see that the bag was his quilt.
Qin Shuyu opened a crack in the quilt, and a few mountain bees immediately flew out of it, afraid that the flower would be stung, so he quickly grabbed a branch and waved it away.
"Yin'er, you see, this is a beehive, with honey and pupae in it." Qin Shuyu spread out the quilt, and there was indeed a huge beehive inside, no wonder she was dragging her out just now.
"Brother, what did your father tell you at lunchtime? How can you still play! The fire in Hua Wai's eyes not only did not disappear, but became more intense.
"Yin'er, you say, how much can you sell if you get the honey out of here and sell it?" Qin Shuyu stretched out her hand and dipped some honey, wanting to put it in Hua Wai's mouth, seeing that she looked like she was going to eat people, she had to take it back and put it in her mouth and suck it up, and she didn't forget to smash it.
Hua Wai's chest rose and fell, and he snorted and shook his hand and walked down the mountain quickly.
"Yin'er, wait for me, don't walk so fast, I don't have any shoes on, what should I do if I get stuck in my foot!" Qin Shuyu muttered, and hurriedly rolled up the quilt and clamped it to follow.
When Hua Wei got home, he carried a hoe to the vegetable garden behind the house and started to work, he really didn't want to pay attention to Qin Shuyu, but it seems that the guy didn't go out again when he came back? Could it be that you know that you are wrong and start to warm your book?
It didn't take long to see the smoke coming out of the top of the kitchen, what time is it, lunch has just been eaten, dinner is still far away, in the end, haven't you had enough, forget it, let him play, wait for Daddy to come back and clean up!
Busy until the evening, Hua Weeping came into the house to see that Qin Shuyu had already prepared dinner, and added vegetables and more bee chrysalis, after the meal, Qin Shuyu was much more well-behaved, and he was very focused on reading, probably because Hua Changting was at home.
But early the next morning, Qin Shuyu disappeared, and he didn't come back at noon, Hua Changting also mentioned him at lunch, Hua Cried couldn't answer, squeaked, I was afraid that Hua Changting would be angry and really beat Qin Shuyu, who would have thought that Hua Changting didn't have much reaction, and the ironclad board was probably gone.
Qin Shuyu didn't come home until the sun was about to set, gray-faced, looking tired but very excited, as soon as he entered the door, he pressed Hua Cry on the bench, Hua Cry wanted to complain a few words, and struggled desperately to no avail, so he had to let Qin Shuyu fiddle.
Qin Shuyu took a wet cloth and picked up her feet and began to wipe them, until she felt that she was very clean, she took out a bag of things from her arms, opened it, and inside was a new pair of cloth shoes, carefully put them on for Hua Wei, and then nodded, very satisfied: "Well, it's just right, remember, you must wear shoes in the future, it turns out that the pair is too small and has been broken, I know you are afraid of spending the soles of your shoes so you don't wear them, but the girl's family can't show her feet, you know?" In the future, I will find a way to make money, and I will make you a dress, but you can't hide it and not wear it, and if you keep it, you won't fit it when you grow up. ”
"You took the honey you got back yesterday and sold the new shoes you bought for me in Ningyang City, right?" Hua Weeping's eyes were moist, no wonder I didn't see him all day today, Taoyuan Village went to Ningyang City fifty miles away, a hundred miles back and forth, how fast did I have to run to get home before the sun went down? I guess I already went to the third watch last night!
"Well, yesterday the honey boiled out of the beehive, carefully filtered with gauze many times, the honey is very clean, I used to see this method in the book, it really worked, sold for twenty copper, but it is only enough to buy cloth shoes, and I will buy you embroidered shoes in the future, hehe." Qin Shuyu was a little embarrassed, Yin'er had grown up and had never worn embroidered shoes.
"Brother......" Hua Wei didn't hold back, the tears accidentally fell, although his brother is not connected by blood, but he is a real relative, no matter how he scolds him, he just doesn't get angry, he is happy all day long and makes people seem to be very unscored, he can make people die in a hurry, but everything has his intentions.
"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm going to take the township exam soon, and when I get on the list and become an official, our family will get better." Qin Shuyu hurriedly wiped her tears with her dirty sleeves, her face was red and black, and the more she wiped it, the more she stolen it.
