Do you like He Qingdong?

Su Xue was stunned by the question.

He Qingdong's nasty face popped up in her mind, and in front of her was Su Bao'er's innocent face and expectant eyes, and Su Xue had no way to answer that she liked it.

But I don't like it, but I can't say it either.

"Sister?"

Su Baoer persevered, tilting her head to look at her. Seeing that Su Xue didn't mean to answer, Su Bao'er's mouth slowly deflated, "Woo...... Whining... My sister doesn't like Uncle He either, does she? Woowoo woo ......"

The little girl's tears are really the same as not wanting money, just come when you say it.

Seeing that she was so aggrieved that she kept dropping golden beans, Su Xue was very embarrassed, pulled the corners of her mouth, reached out and rubbed her hair, "No, Bao'er, don't cry." ”

Su Baoer is a persistent little girl, she likes Su Xue's sister, and hopes that her sister can like the person she likes.

raised his hand to wipe a handful of tears, and persistently asked, "That sister also likes Uncle He, right?" ”

This kid ......

If it weren't for her being her sister, Su Xue would have wondered if she had been bought by He Qingdong's stinky hooligan. Why do you keep catching this topic and don't ask endless questions?

Seeing that her hesitation was about to let Su Bao'er drop the golden bean, Su Xue hurriedly said, "I like it, my sister likes it." Bao'er don't cry, my sister likes it. ”

Su Bao'er, who was recognized, burst into tears and smiled, holding Su Xue's arm with both hands and happily coquettish, "Sister is the best, Bao'er knows that my sister will also like Uncle He." ”

The corners of Su Xue's mouth twitched.

Forget it, she comforted herself in her heart, this is a child's rhetoric, just don't take it seriously...

The child's emotions come and go quickly, especially after Su Bao'er got Su Xue's approval, it was immediately after the rain and the sky was clear.

The two sisters went to bed together.

Early the next morning, Su Xue got up to cook porridge, mixed with wild vegetables and had breakfast, Su Xue asked Su Xiaohu to watch Su Bao'er at home, and she was going to go up the mountain with Su Xiaolong to dig some thorn vines and come back.

"You're going?"

Su Xiaohu looked at Su Xue with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Do you know the way up the mountain?"

Su Xue sighed, she knew that she didn't match Su Xiaohu's little rabbit cub, he was uncomfortable if he didn't talk back to him, and he didn't know what was wrong.

"I don't know the road, isn't there a little dragon? You obediently watched Bao'er at home, and by the way, you turned the ground in the backyard. I'm coming back with your brother to plant vegetables. ”

Their family's self-reserved land was also occupied by Wan Cuihong, and they have no place to grow vegetables, and they have been living by eating wild vegetables. It's okay to eat a few meals of this wild vegetable, but if you eat it all the time, you can't stand it.

Su Xue felt that she was not particularly squeamish, but she really couldn't get used to the life of wild vegetables and brown rice every day.

After arranging the task, she went out with Su Xiaolong.

Su Xiaolong carried a back basket, and walked in front with a firewood knife in the back basket. Su Xue was wearing a straw hat, long sleeves and trousers, black cloth shoes with mille-feuille bottoms, and a pair of gloves on her hands.

Her face was covered with a clean towel to prevent the sun or rattan from brushing her face.

He also had a hoe resting on his shoulder.

No matter how well she does her job, this outfit really looks like a person who works.

When I went out, I was complained by Su Xiaohu, I didn't finish the work, and I looked like I learned like ......

Su Xue was too lazy to complain about Su Xiaohu, she chose to ignore Su Xiaohu directly, just like ignoring He Qingdong!

The siblings went out early, and soon after the sun rose, they had already passed through the village to the foot of a relatively gentle hill.

Because of the relatively advantageous geographical location of Hongqi Village, the mountain behind their village is not a rocky mountain, but a hill like a hill.

The height of a mountain is about a few hundred meters, and it slopes up gently. There is no extensive logging, and the mountainous land in the village has not been distributed to individual households, so there is no over-logging.

The entire mountain is covered with rich vegetation, and from a distance it looks lush and spectacular.

Su Xiaolong didn't plan to take Su Xue deep into the mountains.

The thorn vines they were looking for could be dug up by the ravine at the foot of the mountain. Thorn vine is a very tenacious thorn, digging its seedlings, or cutting branches back to insert it can make it live.

"I'll go over there and cut it, and you'll wait for me here."

Su Xiaolong pointed to the ditch not far away and said to Su Xue.

Su Xue sighed, "I'll go with you." ”

"There's no road over there, and there may be snakes and bugs." Su Xiaolong spoke again.

Su Xue hesitated for a moment, but she was still firm in her thoughts.

"I'm going."

Before going out today, Su Xue deliberately did ideological work for herself. If nothing else, she will always live in the village, and she will have to work hard to overcome the nightmare of being afraid of insects when she was a child.

"Okay then."

Su Xiaolong raised his feet and was about to leave, Su Xue was also about to follow, and when she saw that they were about to step into the wasteland, Su Xiaolong raised her hand to stop her. His expression was a little serious, and Su Xue subconsciously lowered his voice.

"What's wrong?"

"There are snakes."

Su Xiaolong spoke.

Su Xue snorted and immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth. Her eyes couldn't help but look around where the snake was, and goosebumps appeared on her body.

"It's over there." Su Xiaolong's eyes were sharp, and he saw that among the weeds on the way they had to pass, there was a snake crawling under the grass.

Su Xue also saw the black snake body, her face turned pale with fright, and she subconsciously took a step back, "That... So we... What to do? Wait for it... It's over... Again? ”

When encountering something she was afraid of, Su Xue would unconsciously show her timidity. There is no way, she has only been a sister for a few days, and before that, she has always been the younger sister protected by the eldest brother and the second brother.

So when I encountered an emergency, it was understandable that I couldn't remember that I was the eldest sister for a while.

Fortunately, Su Xiaolong didn't care.

On the contrary, he understands Su Xue very well.

"Let's go to the mountains."

Today may be too hot, and the snake came to the ditch to cool off. Usually no snakes have been found on this mountain, at least the adults in the village say so.

Su Xue blinked, tugged at the corner of Su Xiaolong's clothes, and walked forward cautiously, "This... Do snakes need to cool off too? ”

As far as she knew, snakes were cold-blooded animals, and she knew that snakes were afraid of cold and hibernated, but she didn't know that snakes were also afraid of heat.

Su Xiaolong glanced at Su Xue and felt that his sister was a bit of a headache. Since this snake is afraid of the cold, it must also be afraid of the heat! He explained two sentences of what he thought he was thinking.

also told Su Xue that where poisonous snakes are entrenched, there will be herbs that can detoxify nearby, so don't panic even if you are accidentally bitten.

Su Xue snorted, she had heard her grandfather say this before.

"Our little dragon really knows a lot, such a smart child must have good grades in school, right?" Because it was already some distance away from the place where the snake had just been found, Su Xue felt alive again.

took the opportunity to rub Su Xiaolong's hair and said to him.

Su Xiaolong glanced at Su Xue with a look as if nothing had happened, "You don't have to do this, I won't go to school." ”

Su Xue: ......
