Chapter 4 Collecting Firewood

Thinking of this, Shan Xing felt a pain in her heart, not only for her mother's persistent feelings for her father, but also for the sad fate of their three sisters and brothers. can know that since the death of their father and mother, the three of them have lived an inhuman life in this family, and it is common for Mrs. Li to beat and scold them, and the most important thing is that they are not well fed and clothed. Xiao Zao is the youngest in this family, but he has to get up early to work, otherwise he will not be allowed to eat enough.

Because it is early spring, the weather is still a little cold, the big lonely mountain is still bare, the leaves and grass have not yet sprouted, the mountain apricot followed the hill all the way forward, while thinking about what to do in the future, the three of them are in this family, a lot of work, but the treatment is not good, the work is basically they are doing, although the mountain is only ten years old, but because of the lack of labor, began to follow the old Li Tou to work in the field early, the little jujube is even more, every day under the nose of the eldest aunt and Mrs. Li, it is impossible to be lazy. The third uncle has failed to take the test twice, if he is okay in the exam this year and continues to fail, it is difficult for Xiaoshan to follow his grandfather to plant for the third uncle for a lifetime.

The lobby brother of the uncle's family can go to the town to study, why is it their turn to have a second room, and Xiaoshan has to farm at home. After thinking about it, Shan Xing secretly made up her mind that she must change the status quo and let her younger siblings live a good life, but now the most basic thing is to solve the problem of food and clothing, and if you can't eat enough, you don't have the strength to do anything else.

When we walked halfway up the mountain, "Sister, we can't go inside, there are wild beasts that are not safe, so we will pick up some points on the periphery and go back" Xiaoshan said like a little adult. Shan Xing looked at it, nodded and said, "Okay." You and the jujube are picked up here, I'll take a look around and I'll be back soon. "Sister, I won't let you go, let's go together" Xiao Zao immediately retorted. Xiaoshan also looked disapproving.

"Don't worry, the eldest sister won't go far, just come back after a look, good." Shan Xing gave them a reassuring look and walked forward, with the memory of the original owner, she remembered not far ahead, her father once took her to dig two traps, but the original owner was timid, since her father died, she never came.

But now it's different, the current Apricot is Zhu Xin'er who has changed her soul, she is a white-collar worker from contemporary society, and her ideological courage and the original owner cannot be compared. If you want to solve the problem of food and clothing, you have to use your brain to think about it, otherwise there will never be a way in that home. About over a small hill, came to the trap, this look, there is really a pheasant in it, it is estimated that it also fell in and has not eaten for a few days, so honestly lying on her stomach, Shan Xing caught her out without effort, touched the back basket, and walked to the second trap to see, but it was empty, nothing. Shan Xing had no choice but to cover these two traps again, looking forward to something to gain when she came next time.

After doing all this, Shan Xing walked back happily, and as soon as he went up the hill, he saw that the hill was coming up to this hillside, and it seemed that he was worried about him and came over. The feeling of someone being worried is really heartwarming, Shan Xing smiled slightly and shouted loudly, "Xiaoshan, my sister is back" "Sister, you are finally back, Xiaozao and I are worried about you, don't go to the mountains in the future, our father is in danger inside" "You are gone, I am worried, I don't want to lose my eldest sister again." "Xiaoshan rest assured, the eldest sister has a sense of proportion, the eldest sister promised you that she would not put herself in danger, and the eldest sister also wants to see our Xiaoshan study and get married

"Eldest sister, can Xiaoshan study?" asked Xiaoshan with an expectant expression. Of course you can, we Xiaoshan must study hard, and support the eldest sister and Xiaojube in the future, and the door of our second room will depend on you to support it.

When Xiaoshan heard this, he immediately straightened his chest and said, "Don't worry, eldest sister, I will study hard to support you and Xiaojujube" After speaking, he blushed embarrassedly. Shan Xing looked at his shy appearance and couldn't help but go up and kiss his face. Xiaoshan's face turned even redder, "Sister, I'm a man, I can't be a family anymore." "How old are you and my brother, good boy, let's go, let's go find Xiao Zao, I have good things for you"

When the two sisters and brothers went down the hillside, they saw Xiao Jujube obediently picking up branches. "Little jujube, come here, eldest sister has good things" When the younger siblings saw the pheasant in the apricot back basket, they couldn't believe it, and excitedly circled around the back basket. "Eldest sister, where did the pheasant come from, is this ours, but when we take it back, grandma won't let us eat it, so I must say that I will leave it for the third uncle to come back and eat" Xiaoshan, Xiaozao, you and I are telling the truth one by one. "If we don't take it back, it's just the three of us to eat, and after eating, we have the strength to pick up the branches" "How to eat if we don't take it back, is it true, only the three of us eat" "Look at the eldest sister, Xiaoshan, you go and set up the branches you picked up and light them, I'll deal with it""
