The second child didn't want to kneel down for this vicious stepmother, but he was even more afraid of losing Xiaoliu. Several of them have at least been accompanied by their mothers for a few years, Xiaoliu has not had the love of her mother since she was a child, and she doesn't want Xiaoliu to be gone.

Wang Xiaoxia glanced at a few children coldly and walked to the bedside, seeing that Xiao Liu's face was purple and she couldn't cry when she opened her mouth wide, she immediately picked up the child.

After a little examination to know the reason, she pinched the sides of her face with one hand and held up the back of her neck, so that Xiao Liu was face down, and the other hand patted her back a few times.

Ahem......

After a while, small jujube pits came out of his mouth.

Wow......

Xiao Liu spit out the jujube core and cried, and his little purple face gradually eased up.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoxia gave Xiao Liu a massage for a while, and watched Xiao Liu's face recover, before putting Xiao Liu down.

"Jujube core, this is jujube core, why did Xiaoliu eat this?" The third child was so frightened that his face turned blue, there was a child in the village who was stuck to death by a jujube kernel before, he looked at the stepmother in surprise, when did this vicious stepmother become so powerful?

"You can't eat this thing, and if you can't vomit it if you eat it, you'll die, but it's okay now. Hand over Tutu's clothes. The two of you come to help me do things, which can be regarded as a reward for saving Xiaoliu! After Wang Xiaoxia finished speaking, he got up and left.

The fourth and fifth looked at each other and stood up and followed Wang Xiaoxia out, and the third got up to check on Xiao Liu's situation, and found that Xiao Liu was smiling, knowing that Xiao Liu should be fine.

The second child lowered her head and clenched her fists, she wanted to plant this jujube core in the yard next spring, her younger brothers and sisters like to eat jujubes, which she deliberately left, but she didn't expect it to almost kill Xiaoliu.

But, why did that vicious stepmother come to the rescue of Xiaoliu?

She must want to raise Xiaoliu to sell it for a good price, yes, it must be like this, she has to tell her younger brothers not to let them be deceived.

"Second sister, maybe she really reformed herself, she was the one who saved Xiaoliu." The third child looked at Xiao Liu and smiled again, and gently hugged the person in his arms.

The second child looked at the third child coldly and warned: "Don't forget, she still wants to sell us today." She saved Xiaoliu, but she wanted to raise Xiaoliu a little better so that she could sell it for a good price. ”

Are you sure?

The third child was panicked when he heard this, if the second sister hadn't found out quickly today, they might have been put in the carriage by someone.

Thinking of this, he was afraid to send Xiao Liu to the second sister, and hurried to see the fourth and fifth children.

In the kitchen, Wang Xiaoxia used the woodbroken knife to chop rabbit meat, which was the only knife in the family. The two big rabbits were cut into large pieces and thrown into the big iron pot, she really tried her best, this firewood knife shield could only be cut like this, and the remaining one was tied up with rattan and hung on the stove.

Thinking that there was only some corn left, these half-grown children couldn't eat enough at all, so she took the rabbit down again, turned her head to look at the second child who ran in, and said, "Take this rabbit to Uncle Lizheng's house to exchange for some food." ”

The second child was stunned for a moment, they had just gotten some corn from Grandpa Lizheng before, if they took this rabbit, I am afraid that the daughter-in-law of Grandpa Lizheng's family would accept it directly, not to mention rice, corn would not be given to them.

Seeing that the second child was silent, Wang Xiaoxia looked at the fourth and fifth children: "Do you want to eat, go if you want to eat!" ”

The fourth child swallowed his saliva, nodded immediately, and stepped forward to grab the big rabbit.

The second child saw that the vicious queen mother really gave the big rabbit to the fourth child, and at the same time was surprised and hurriedly said: "On weekdays, grandpa Zheng has helped us with a lot of food, if this rabbit is brought over, his daughter-in-law must think that it is to thank them for sending it." ”

Wang Xiaoxia did see Sun Lizheng helping several children several times in his memory, and he also helped the original body several times, to say that Sun Lizheng is indeed a good person.

She carefully searched in her memory, and finally thought of Sun Erhu's house at the head of the village.

Sun Erhu's father Sun Qingjiang and Sun Jiuzhou's father Sun Qingmao are cousins, and she has to call her second uncle after her.

The second uncle's eldest son, Sun Dahu, works as a servant in nearby Changping County, Sun Erhu is also a hunter, often hunting some prey and taking it to the town to sell, and the family conditions are relatively good in the village, and occasionally he will secretly stuff some food for a few children.

After sorting out the news in her head, she looked at the fourth and fifth children and said, "Take it to Sun Erhu's house, you two go together, and then ask their family to borrow a bowl of salt and come back." ”

The fourth and fifth nodded, the fifth went to get a broken bowl, the fourth ran out with the rabbit, and the second wanted to follow, but was called back by Wang Xiaoxia.

"Stop, just let them go, you stay for me to tidy up the kitchen." Wang Xiaoxia casually found an excuse to keep the second child, if the second child was allowed to go, she would definitely leave some of the rice in exchange, she was not so easy to be pitted.

The second child felt that his mind seemed to be seen through by the vicious stepmother, and the foot that stepped out retracted, and obediently cleaned up the kitchen according to her wishes.

There was no oil or salt at home, so she could only continue to bake her clothes and wait for the fourth and fifth children to come back.

After a while, the fourth and fifth children returned, one holding a bowl of salt in one hand and a bag of rice in the other.

After the two came back, they handed over the salt and rice to Wang Xiaoxia, Wang Xiaoxia weighed it, and the rice was about ten catties.

"Uncle Erhu said, this salt is also considered a rabbit and does not need to be returned." Lao Wu said truthfully.

Wang Xiaoxia felt that Sun Erhu's family was not bad, so much food and salt was too much, and she received this friendship.

When she came back to her senses, she glanced at these boys, these boys were easier to deal with than the girl, and she told them to do things first, so she told them to do things: "Old Five, cook, everyone is full tonight, and I will go out to work tomorrow morning." Also, the kid I brought back is called Tutu, don't bully him in the future, otherwise I won't be polite. ”

"Isn't cooking rice porridge?" Lao Wu asked weakly, never thought that the vicious stepmother would give them rice.

"Yes, cook!" Wang Xiaoxia replied patiently.

The three children were a little incredulous after hearing this, if they wanted to eat rice, they had to cook at least a pound of rice, and a pound of rice might not be enough to eat.

Wang Xiaoxia thought that if he didn't eat enough on such a cold day, he would definitely not be able to sleep at night when he was so hungry. If you don't sleep well, Ming'er won't have the energy to work. Before the weather was completely cold, they not only had to stock up on some firewood, but also had to make money, hoard food, hoard meat, and there were too many things to do.

Looking back at the three children still looking at herself stupidly, she said coldly: "Remember my words, from today onwards, I won't care if I don't work, I don't have anything to eat, and I don't care if I starve to death." ”
