As he spoke, Xiao Qing turned around and went to find the bamboo basket that he had just hidden.

She was afraid that the two bad women would find out just now, so she grabbed the hay on the ground and sprinkled it on top of the mushrooms, covered it up, and put it behind the stone slab.

She walked over angrily and picked up the hay on the bamboo basket, when two small hands suddenly appeared on her waist, and a thin body hugged her from behind.

Xiao Qing was stunned, the movements of his hand froze, and he knew whose hand it belonged to at a glance.

She patted Qiao Cheng's hand: "Xiaocheng, what are you doing?" Loosen it up, grandma's body is dirty, and it will make your face gray, let go quickly. ”

Qiao Cheng didn't speak, just wiped his tears on her.

Xiao Qing won't persuade adults to cry, let alone children to cry, the clothes on this body were wiped by him with a lot of snot and tears, and they were still the clothes behind her buttocks.

"Xiaocheng, obedient, let go of grandma, what are you crying about?" Xiao Qing still froze and waited for Qiao Cheng to let go.

After screaming for a long time, Qiao Cheng rubbed and wiped behind her, crawled on her, drilled into her arms, and made her waist itch.

Xiao Qing didn't dare to push him away, there were mountains and rocks on this road, and if he fell seriously, it would be a bad thing.

"Xiao Chengniang, hurry up and tear this child off me!" Xiao Qing shouted to watch the lively Zhou family.

Zhou saw Qiao Cheng making trouble in his mother's arms, she didn't know Xiao Cheng's thoughts, he grew up slowly, and he knew better than anyone else that his father was a forbidden place in his heart, and no one could say or mention it.

Today's mother not only protects Xiaocheng's reputation, but also protects his father's reputation, and in the future, no one in the village will dare to say that his father is not.

"Mother, I have thin arms and thin legs, it's very difficult to hold Xiao Cheng, I can't pull him!" Zhou smiled and carried the dates of the two bamboo baskets: "Mother, if I don't help you carry the bamboo basket, you can carry Xiaocheng back!" ”

Xiao Qing categorically refused: "Don't carry it, he has long legs by himself, let him walk back by himself!" I'm dying of exhaustion today, let him go down, this kid is so annoying! ”

The things in her bamboo basket are very heavy, and Zhou's thin body can not be carried on her back.

She looked at Xiao Cheng in her arms angrily, glared at him, and ordered: "Xiao Cheng, do you listen to grandma?" ”

Qiao Cheng pursed his lips and kept smiling, nodded by default, and did not speak.

Xiao Qing ordered with a cold face: "Then you give me a down, you are so old, you are ten years old, and you still want grandma to hold you?" ”

Qiao Cheng was not afraid of being murdered by her, he was still smiling and wiping his tears, and his mouth kept smiling.

Xiao Qing was so troubled by him that he couldn't help it, so he finally sat on the rock, followed him and let him lie in his arms, and when he was tired, he should go down.

Alas, she can't beat him, she doesn't have a habit of beating children.

After a few breaths, after Qiao Cheng's tears were wiped away, he finally stood up from Xiao Qing, and then walked to Zhou's side, took two bamboo baskets of dates from his mother's body and carried them on his back.

"Grandma, let's go home!" Qiao Cheng looked at Zhou: "Mother, I'll carry these two bamboo baskets, and you help grandma carry the heavy ones." ”

Zhou didn't have time to hesitate, and the dates in the two bamboo baskets were carried on Qiao Cheng's back by one and the other in his arms, and he went home first.

Xiao Qing put the bamboo basket on his back and walked to the dazed Zhou with a smile: "Let him go, this kid has suddenly grown up all of a sudden!" ”

Zhou hummed and helped Xiao Qing walk home together.

Xiao Qing rested for a long time, and he had strength in his feet, and he walked faster.

Although home is in front of him, the road still has to be walked step by step, Xiao Qing thinks that there should be a lot of steps back and forth today, plus more than 20,000 steps yesterday, there should be a surprise number of steps.

It's just that as soon as they walked to the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Qing felt that their jujube trees couldn't be saved, and the fragrance of stir-fried vegetables in the grass shed had attracted the villagers, and there were already two or three people standing at the door of the grass shed.

"Mother, isn't that the sister-in-law of the Jiang Feng family at the entrance of the village? And her sister-in-law, her youngest son Sanxing? Zhou stopped and looked at the three people at the door of the grass shed.

Xiao Qing thought about it, last time Du Shi tried his best to persuade her to reconcile with Qi Dazhen, who was close to her, this person was not good at talking, gossiping and nosy, but thinking that the two daughters-in-law of the Jiao family behind him were still quietly following them, he had an idea in his heart.

Although Du Shi is not the kind of person who likes to find trouble, but the matter of mushrooms and chestnuts still has to be hidden from her, and I am afraid that the winter dates will not be able to be saved.

"I'll go back to the grass hut later, and you put the winter dates at the door of the grass shed!" Xiao Qing instructed the Zhou family.

Although Zhou didn't understand why her mother did this, she did what her mother said: "Okay!" ”

The three of them walked silently, and when they came to Du Shi, who was concentrating on watching Qin's cooking, the three of them hadn't noticed it yet.

Xiao Qing saw that the three of them were staring directly at the pot in the grass shed, the saliva of the three lines was left, and his head was about to stick into the pot, he hadn't seen such fragrant food for a long time, and he was hungry.

The three of them were focused on the pot, and it was fine, she walked over quietly, and they didn't pay attention.

And Zhou deliberately put two bamboo baskets of winter dates behind Du's and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law Du, have you come to visit the door early this morning?" ”

Du Shi turned around in shock, saw Zhou greeting her, and there was a bamboo basket of winter dates behind him, took two steps back and asked with a smile: "Xiao Chengniang, why don't you walk silently?" Suddenly talking behind someone scared me! ”

As she spoke, her eyes followed Xiao Qing, who had just walked over, and saw that she was holding something in a big bamboo basket, but she didn't see what was inside, could it be that it was also a winter date?

With so many winter dates, how much should they be sold?

"We just called you, but you didn't hear it!" Zhou and Qiao Cheng smiled and went to the water tank with winter dates on their backs.

Du Shi has been here for a long time, and he hasn't put a word out of Qin's mouth, this morning it was lard again, and wild vegetables, and the key was also put in salt, and two scoops of white gnocchi were stirred, where did Lao Qiao's family get rich and eat so many good things?

She knew that the Zhou family was more honest than the Qin family, and she couldn't stand the clichés, so she smiled and followed the Zhou family to try to trick her words: "Xiao Chengniang, there are so many winter dates, when are you going to sell them?" ”

Zhou said gently: "I will go to the county town early tomorrow morning to sell it." ”

"So many winter dates, I guess they can be sold for a lot of money, right?" Du Shi smiled and said, "I just watched your brother and sister make breakfast, and your family has eaten white noodles?" ”

Two days ago, Qiao Erjing also went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, and married Qiao Yu to Fang Si, a fool in Fangjia Village, and ate white noodles in two days in a blink of an eye.

Zhou poured the dates into a large pot and picked the good and bad: "The white noodles you said, sister-in-law doesn't know, they were bought with my mother's own money." ”

After hearing this, Du Shi believed it on the surface, but he shook his head in his heart and didn't believe it, like Xiao Qing beat his children to become famous, the money was deducted from his children, although there are many people like Xiao Qing in the village, but there are not many.
