"Five cents a day, take care of lunch, but the grinding things should be fine, and in the future, my family will not only grind dogwood flour, but also grind beans, a lot of flour needs to be grinded, this work is not easier than building a house, it will be very tiring, grinding is not good, I want to reduce your salary, are you willing?" Xiao Qing told the truth about the conditions.

"Willing, willing, auntie, what can't I do Zhang Guang, grinding beans first place in Yaoshan Village, our family doesn't care about grinding beans or grain, we never use livestock, it's all me doing, auntie, when do you think you start working? I'm capable right away! ”

As soon as Zhang Guang heard that he could stay at Lao Qiao's house to work, there was meat and millet to eat at noon, as well as wages and five cents, his whole body became agitated with excitement, and he thought about working immediately.

Xiao Qing thought: "Then come over tomorrow, my dogwood dried fruits have a few bamboo baskets, and I have to grind them for four or five days, but I have to come with my brother and them in the morning, and walk with them at night, you can rest after grinding, and you can rest when you are tired, but you are not allowed to be lazy, looking at the noodles and beans, you can't grind too fine, and you can't grind too coarse!" ”

"Done, done! What does the aunt say, I'll do it, what does the aunt want, I can grind it out for you, then the aunt, I'll come early tomorrow morning? Zhang Guang smiled and opened his mouth to ask.

He was already hungry and scared, let alone let him come to work early in the morning, even if he was asked to pour night incense late at night, he was willing, he had money and food, where to find it, and it was at the door of his house!

"Can I go, then?" Xiao Qing asked.

Zhang Guang touched the back of his head and made a gesture of invitation with a smile: "Auntie, please, auntie, please!" ”

Xiao Qing walked alone in the direction of the broken kiln, just listened to Zhang Guang's words, he would rather believe it than believe it, it is good to take precautions early!

The Jiao family will look for trouble sooner or later because of the dogwood flour matter, unless......

Xiao Qing had a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes!

She walked to a no-man's land, and saw the number of steps in the system mall, there were tens of thousands of steps, she looked for anti-inflammatory drugs in the system, cephalosporin tablets in paper packets, iron alcohol bottles, and white coarse gauze, which looked similar to the ancient ones, and exchanged the number of steps for a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs.

Anti-inflammatory drugs were life-saving drugs in ancient times, and in ancient times, a fever and diarrhea could kill you, and with these, you may be in emergency backup.

When she came back to use it, she had to think of a good rhetoric, preferably a trip to the county, and then there were, explaining where these things came from.

She walked around the broken kiln a few times, and saw the degree of damage inside the broken kiln, which would not affect the subsequent use at all, and after reading it, Xiao Qing went home.

At dinner, she explained that she would pick the mung beans in the mountains as soon as possible in the next two days, so as not to cause any big trouble in Lao Jiao's family.

Qiao Hong and Qiao Fang took the initiative to go with her to the mountains to help pick mung beans.

Xiao Qing felt that it was okay, the more people the better, the faster they could be picked, and the mung beans in the mountains would take two days to finish, so a few people had dinner at night and went to bed early.

The next day, Zhou didn't come with him in the morning, because Zhang Guang was going to grind the dogwood noodles, so Xiao Qing arranged for her to watch Zhang Guang work, and told him how to grind the thickness of the dogwood noodles and mung beans.

On the way up the mountain, Qiao Hong and Qiao Fang talked about what happened in the Li Mansion and the Hou Mansion, and Xiao Qing didn't listen to a word.

Xiao Qing didn't interject the words of the two, the two of them took the initiative to come to the mountains with her, also to ease the relationship with her, she understands, she is not cold, as long as there are principles and reasons, she will try to understand their thoughts.

She knew that the two children had been almost brainwashed by their families in the past few days since they came back, so although the two of them had a problem in their hearts, they still believed in family and everything.

According to the previous arrangement, Qiao Hong took Qiao Fang to the mountains to pick mung beans, while Xiao Qing went to hang and eat alone.

Speaking of which, Qiao Hong is also smart, after breakfast yesterday, I heard that he took Qiao Yu to the mountains again, imitating her approach, hanging the food on a high place, and he went to pick mung beans, but he didn't expect the two of them to go down the mountain safely, and they also picked three bamboo baskets full of mung beans.

However, the fierce beast in the deep mountains did not give them a gift in return, and the pheasant and the rabbit, none of them, only after she gave them food last time.

When the three of them were picking, they were very careful, and their voices were kept as low as possible so as not to alarm the fierce beasts in the deep mountains.

Although these days have passed safely, Xiao Qing still has to be cautious.

Half an hour later, the sky was gray and bright.

The three of them were busy picking mung beans when they vaguely heard a sound coming from the mountainside.

"Qiao Fang, did you hear someone talking in the middle of the mountain?" Qiao Hong asked as he listened to the voice that was getting closer and closer.

"I heard you!" Qiao Fang said with a gloomy expression: "Yaoshan is not the only one of our families, let's hurry up and harvest mung beans!" ”

Xiao Qing didn't think so, there was nothing on Yao Mountain for a long time, except for their family daring to go into the deep mountains, how could any farmer come so early?

She stopped what she was doing, stood up and looked at the place halfway up the mountain, and after a while, she saw that there were sparks halfway up the mountain, illuminating the potholes in the deep mountains and valleys.

"Li Zheng, look at the fire over there, where are the people from the old Qiao family!"

Xiao Qing heard a loud voice, looking at the bright firelight, it was not like a person, but a group of people rushed towards her.

The fierce beasts in the mountains don't like to make noise, are these people looking for death? They haven't seen those fierce beasts, haven't they heard of them for more than ten years? Every time their family quietly serves food and leaves quietly, it can be regarded as a respect for the deep mountains, why do these people shout loudly as soon as they enter the deep mountains.

"Aren't these people afraid of the dangers of this deep mountain? With so many torches, do you want to lure the foraging beast over? Still in droves into the mountains? Qiao Hong also stood up and asked as low as he could.

Qiao Fang: "......"

She stood up and looked at the glowing fire.

Xiao Qing remembered Zhang Guang's words yesterday and guessed: "Perhaps, this group of people is here to find us!" ”

With that, she left the two of them and walked over to the firelight.

"Don't come here, you two, I'll take a look!"

Xiao Qing walked under the chestnut tree alone, quietly waiting for the group of people to go down into the mountains.

Qiao Hong and Qiao Fang looked at each other at the same time, was she protecting them? It seems that the stepmother is protecting them for the first time!

This kind of protection is really like a hen protecting her chicks, and my heart is warm.

At this moment the group of torchbearers spoke loudly again:

"Lizheng, be careful, the mountain road in this deep mountain is not easy to walk!"

"It's not far ahead, I've been following their family for the past few days, I'm familiar with this road, I'll take you there."

"Am I dazzled, is there a person standing in front of me under the firelight?"

"It's a person, Lizheng, it's that big fat girl!"

"The black shadows are so fat, they're really fat!"

“……”

Listening to the voices of this group of people, Xiao Qing gradually distinguished.

These are the two brothers Jiao Youshui and Jiao Youjin, as well as Jiao Lizheng, and the villagers in the village who have a good relationship with the Jiao family, watching them approach, there are about seven or eight people.

It's them!
