But in any case, the problem of the little pumpkin feeding is solved.

On the way home in the moonlight, Zhang Sijiu and Xu Shi's steps were brisk.

But gradually, Xu Shi pondered a little taste: "How can we be like God helping us this time?" ”

Zhang Sijiu was shocked, and there was no expression on his face: "Why did the second aunt say that?" ”

Xu analyzed: "Look, our little pumpkin has no milk to eat. You happen to know such a soup, and it just so happens that we will try our luck and send it to Qiao Niang to eat, and Qiao Niang will have more milk. If there is too much milk, it will be blocked. This milk block, let's help her get milk again, she didn't suffer, now she doesn't want to block the milk, and she can't leave our little pumpkin-"

Qiao Niang is the name of the daughter-in-law of the Li family.

I have to say that after being analyzed by the Xu family, Zhang Sijiu felt that he was a little insidious: it seems that he had already calculated it! It's too much!

But Dr. Zhang swore to God that she really didn't know that she would block the milk.

Zhang Sijiu originally wanted to say a few words, but what she didn't expect was that before she could speak, Xu Shi had already finished her brain, she sighed, and sighed a little: "Go to your mother's grave tomorrow, burn some paper for her, and talk about it." She's so relieved. ”

So Zhang Sijiu silently swallowed the words back, and was as good as flowing: "Okay." ”

It's okay to misunderstand.

After solving the problem of the little pumpkin eating milk, Zhang Sijiu had extra thoughts to pay attention to other things.

For example, I touched the situation in the village, and even quietly inquired about interpersonal relationships with Zhaoyin.

Then I knew that in the village, now their Zhang family is also a smash hit.

There are sympathizers, there are schadenfreude, and there are those who feel that the little pumpkin is hard, and they have killed their father and mother, and they dare not come back again.

The most important thing is that there are still many people who laugh at Xu behind his back and think that Xu is stupid.

Because the Xu family didn't give away the little pumpkin.

Someone from another village knew about their family's situation and came to the door to bring the little pumpkin back to be raised as a daughter. But Xu didn't agree.

CMB lowered his voice: "People still say they want to give money." But your second aunt scolded people. said that your old Zhang family will not be able to support a child. ”

Zhang Sijiu laughed, and neatly picked up the bamboo shoot shell and threw it into the back basket behind him: "My second aunt is good." ”

"That's good." CMB nodded heartily. But soon attention fell on Zhang Sijiu's back: "You carried a new basket!" It's so pretty! ”

When Zhang Sijiu went out this morning, he found that next to the big back basket that he was used to, there was this brand new small back basket. Judging by the size, it should be prepared for her.

After asking Xu, I learned that she asked her second uncle Zhang Xiaoshan to find someone to make it up, for fear that the big back basket would crush her, and she would not grow tall at that time.

Just this heart, thinking about her carefulness, Zhang Sijiu felt that the Xu family was really a very good person.

She smiled and explained, "My second uncle and aunt helped me get it." It is said that children can't carry too much on their backs, and they are easy to grow tall. ”

Zhaoyin was envious, and she tugged on her broken back basket rope, "It's so beautiful." ”

Zhang Sijiu knew that Zhao Yinniang was stingy, so he didn't say that he asked her to go back, but said: "Let's think of a way and go back and see if we can make money to buy one ourselves." ”

The matter of making money is something that Zhang Sijiu has been pondering for the past few days.

The family has been hollowed out, so poor that even some of the food has been sold, and now it is porridge in the morning and evening, and those who eat porridge are always hungry.

As for the meat, when she stewed soup for the Li family's daughter-in-law Qiaoniang every day, she had tried her best to keep a bowl out, but she could only add some vegetables to cook it and taste the meat.

Life is too hard.

You have to find a way to make money.

Hearing Zhang Sijiu's words, CMB's eyes lit up at first, and then he hung his head again: "We are too young to make money." We can't catch fish, we can't catch wild ducks, and even valuable herbs have been dug up. ”

Zhang Sijiu also had a toothache when he heard it.

But she still affirmed: "There will definitely be a way." ”

"Okay, then think about it, if you have one, take me one!" Zhaoyin, this child, was in and out of his mood as quickly as he could, and soon became happy again: "It doesn't matter if you can't make money, anyway, my mother has to buy a new one if the basket is broken." ”

When picking up the bamboo shoot shells, CMB slowly told Zhang Sijiu what Zhang Sijiu asked her before: "This piece here belongs to my family, and it is from the mulberry tree, which belongs to the pillar's family." You know your family, right? ”

Zhang Sijiu nodded: "I know." ”

What she really cared about was, "Is there anything that doesn't have a Lord?" ”

Zhaoyin shook his head: "Basically, no." Along the big weir on the edge of the ridge, there are bamboos and trees on both sides, but whoever leans on the ridge is who's own. It's just that there are very few people over there. It's too far away, we can go. But you can't break bamboo shoots, you can't break trees. It's nothing to pick up a little litter. ”

She pointed to another large bamboo forest: "Don't go to that piece, if Aunt Zuo finds out that we are going, she will have to go to the door of the house to scold!" ”

Zhang Sijiu had never seen such a battle, and although he was a little surprised, he also nodded: "Got it." ”

As soon as the bamboo shoot shells in the basket were full, Zhang Sijiu and Zhaoyin went home separately and made an appointment to go to the river to cut grass together the next day.

But the next day, the two didn't make it. Because it thundered and rained that night, it didn't stop the next morning.

Xu asked Zhang Sijiu to take care of the children at home, and he took the little pumpkin to the Li family to feed, and they were not allowed to go out at all.

Komatsu Xiaobai usually plays with the male dolls in the village, and never with Zhang Sijiu, so they don't usually get along much.

Zhang Sijiu is okay, after all, he is an adult, and there is no problem of sitting still or not.

Xiaosong Xiaobai is different, the two little dolls can't sit still at all, they stay dry for a while, and they start to ask every once in a while: "When will the rain stop!" ”

Zhang Sijiu simply asked them: "What do you usually play?" ”

Komatsu's eyes rolled, "I didn't do anything." It's just catching bugs and playing. ”

He deliberately opened his teeth and claws: "Such a fierce bull! And crabs! And the meaty bugs! The eldest sister is not afraid! ”

Zhang Sijiu: ...... The bugs I've seen are definitely much scarier than the ones you've seen.

She asked Komatsu rhetorically: "That's all?" ”

Xiaobai grinned his little teeth and said in a breathless voice: "There is also playing with water!" Big brother plays in the water and catches fish! ”

Xiao Song covered Xiao Bai and refused to admit it: "No! It's playing with water on the edge of the ditch! ”

The water in the ditch is thigh-deep at most, and adults are not restrained by this kind of place. But children are never allowed to go deeper into the river and play in the weir pond.

It's a pity that Komatsu's acting skills are not up to par.

Zhang Sijiu nodded firmly: "That's going down the river." Did you catch a fish? ”

Komatsu refused to admit it: "I didn't. ”

"Are there many fish in the water? Is it big or not? Is there a yellow eel? What about loaches? Zhang Sijiu continued to ask.

Komatsu: ...... "Yes, not much. ”

Zhang Sijiu nodded: "Call me next time." ”

Even if you can't sell it, you can catch it and eat it.
