That's so fulfilling today. It's robbing relatives again, it's running for your life, and it's worshipping, and it's past noon in a blink of an eye, not only is your mouth dry, but your stomach is also rumbling at this time.

-Nianhe, what do you usually eat? There is still food at home, take it out and we will celebrate, it stands to reason that this meal should be arranged by the eldest brother, but the eldest brother is penniless now, and he will definitely make up for this meal in the future.

At this time, I can only coax and trick me into carrying the picture cake, because I am really hungry.

- Big brother, Sister Hong'er, haven't you eaten yet?

-Your sister and I ran away today, where did we rush to eat, and then I met you again, and I delayed the time to eat.

- But I only have wild vegetables at home, and I usually only eat wild vegetables. You must not be used to eating, why don't you wait for me, and I will go outside and find something to eat.

Nian He naturally had some concerns in his heart, looking at Xia Hong's dress, although he was a little embarrassed, but he was also dressed luxuriously, and I was also wearing the clothes of the people in the daily capital, although it was not as good as Xia Hong, but it was definitely not enough to eat wild vegetables. I really didn't expect it to be so difficult to read and live.

-It's okay, now that we're a family, didn't you and Brother Hanqing also say it, we share blessings and hardships, and we eat everything together, whether it's delicacies or wild vegetables.

- Yes, Hong'er is right, we will eat wild vegetables as well, but the eldest brother assures you that it won't be long before we will definitely stop eating wild vegetables, and we will eat big fish and meat.

- That's okay, big brother, sister Hong'er, you wait for me here, I'll prepare.

Waiting for Nianhe to go out of the side hall to prepare a meal outside the temple, I turned to Xia Hong and said.

-Hong'er, if you don't have any plans in the future, the three of us will depend on each other in the future, and Nianhe and I will definitely protect you.

- I believe in you, Brother Hanqing.

- But now we can only eat wild vegetables here, how can you get used to eating them?

-What is there to eat, Brother Hanqing doesn't have to worry about me, I'm used to living a pampered life, I can get used to this kind of life, and we have no reason to bow to life.

Looking at Xia Hong's resolute eyes, I felt that I should stand up in this difficult situation.

-It's not just you, Nianhe is also the time to grow up now, how can we eat wild vegetables every day, let's settle down today, and let's think of ways together at night, I'm not just Nianhe's eldest brother now, but also your brother, I have no reason to let you live a hard life with me.

-Brother Hanqing, no matter what hard days and sweet days, Hong'er will follow you.

At this moment, Xia Hong's eyes were full of admiration and trust when she looked at me, she knew that she had no choice but to believe, and she was willing to believe in me.

This raised my feelings for Xia Hong to a higher level, as I thought before, I don't just want to treat her as a sister.

After a while, Nianhe walked in with a plate of wild vegetables and placed it on the table that was lower than a chair.

- Big brother and sister, that's all there is for today, and I'll go to the back mountain tomorrow to pick some and come back.

As he spoke, he brought over the wine man he had just met, and it was full of water.

I picked up a piece of wild vegetable with my chopsticks and put it in my mouth.

-Raw?

- Yes, I've always eaten like this, I don't have a pot at home, so I can't cook wild vegetables, but I like to eat it too, my eldest brother can't get used to it, I'll think of a way tomorrow.

- Don't say it, it's delicious.

I can only comfort this Nianhe, looking at Xia Hong's expression, I also know that it's not just me, this thing is really hard to swallow, the method of this wild vegetable is very simple, that is, wash it with water, and then put some salt.

I think that Nianhe has been eating this for the past two years, and I, as a big brother, feel very uncomfortable.

-It's delicious, whenever your craftsmanship is so good.

Xia Hong worked hard to make a delicious appearance, and did not forget to comfort Nianhe.

- It's in the excuse that that's all there is to the house.

Nian He lowered his head in shame, he really endured something that he shouldn't have to bear at this age.

- This is already very good, before I met you, Brother Hanqing and I couldn't even eat, we are really content with these, and this wild vegetable is really delicious, I have never eaten such a delicious wild vegetable.

Xia Hong has never eaten such delicious wild vegetables, but he has never eaten wild vegetables at all.

Xia Hong doesn't have the shelves of big families at all, although the wild vegetables are unpalatable, but Xia Hong also eats them with relish. I read her right.

After eating, it was almost dark, and I cleaned up another side hall with Nianhe, moved those dilapidated tables, chairs and benches outside, and left this room to Xia Hong, after all, a girl who almost passed the door but had not yet passed the door was still a little inconvenient to sleep with us at night.

Nianhe is also very sensible, and left the only straw mat and a bedding at home to Xia Hong, although Xia Hong strongly refused, saying that he would just do it at once, and he would give the futon to Nianhe, but because of the deep affection between sisters and brothers, Xia Hong still couldn't resist Nianhe.

It turns out that it is really only in this time of trouble that you can see that the relationship between people is so beautiful.

And Nianhe and I could only put the table in the corner of the wall, sit on the table against the wall, and prepare to make up for the night.

Before going to bed, we gathered in the room where Nianhe and I were discussing our future plans and how we could change our current lives.

And I can't wait for my life to get better step by step, after all, I haven't suffered since I was a child, and I don't know how long I can last in this environment, so I thought about whether there was any opportunity to make a windfall.

- Nianhe, have you heard of any big families in the suburbs of the capital over the years, who are doing evil and are in the fish and meat township?

- I don't know, although I have been here for two years, I have very little contact with outsiders, and every day I cut wood, dig wild vegetables, and have the opportunity to go to the nearby temple to steal some tribute fruits to eat.

- Hong'er, what about you?

Of course, Xia Hong knew what I wanted to do, so he immediately dissuaded me.

- Brother Han Qing, the average wealthy family has a nursing home and a handle, and they all have weapons.

How did I forget this, it seems that this path is not going to work.

But in their time, there is no service, and there is no capital at all to do business, let's start a business, it's still a little too late, I don't know how to farm, do you want me to be a coolie?

Forget it, in this era, there is neither a skill nor a craft, it is not easy to have food and drink, and it is worth it to be able to exchange labor for a full meal.

-Tomorrow I'll go around the big family in the neighborhood to see if there is still a shortage of nursing home guys, and I don't have any other skills, but I have the strength.

- But if you write a deed of sale, your life will not be yours.

Xia Hong said cautiously

Yes, it's still a feudal society of slavery, and now all the roads I can think of are blocked, but what should I do, do I want to watch my sister Hong'er starve with me...

- By the way, my family's ancestral house is in the suburbs, and we only go there every year when we worship our ancestors, or we go to see it, there must be some valuable things that we exchange for money.

Xia Hong suddenly had an idea.

You can see it, the girl loser can be reflected since ancient times.

-Isn't this not very good?

After all, it's something from Xia Hong's ancestral house, so I still persuade her to think about it.

- Oh Brother Hanqing, there's nothing to think about, a lot of things in the ancestral house are things from my father's youth, he doesn't want me anymore anyway, I'll take something from him, maybe there will be an unexpected gain.

Now it seems that there is only this way, and maybe I can get rich in an instant, and I can follow Xia Hong to get wet.

- Sister Hong'er, what is your family doing?

The conversation between us was foggy: Aren't you homeless, aren't you living a difficult life, why did the ancestral house come out for a while.

-Your sister Hong'er's family is a big family in the capital, so rich, but now your sister Hong'er has cut off relations with her family.

I half-jokingly told Nianhe that it was a joke, but it wasn't actually a joke.

- Is your father an official? Sister Hong'er?

A child's curiosity is in the middle, question after question.

- But why did you cut ties with your family? Is your father a big official?

- Okay, Nianhe, children are not allowed to inquire about this, let's rest at night and go to the ancestral house with Hong'er tomorrow.

Hong'er didn't know how to talk to Nianhe about her experience, and saying it was like stabbing herself in the heart, so I diverted the topic mechanically.

- Then I passed, and you also rested early.

Xia Hong followed my words and quickly changed the topic.

-All right.

Thoughts and a little lost.

- Then you can rest early, Hong'er, and call me if there is anything in the evening.

- Okay Brother Hanqing. Go to bed early.

After speaking, Xia Hong got up and walked to another side hall.

I chatted casually with Nianhe and then fell asleep. The child already felt a lot, and I was too tired all day today, so after a while, the small temple fell into silence.

- Brother Hanqing, I can't sleep.

I tried to open my eyes and saw Xia Hong shaking my arm very anxiously but a little shyly.

- What time is it?

I lazily rubbed my eyes, moved my neck, it was so uncomfortable to sleep against the wall, I slept with a sore back.

- I don't know, Brother Hanqing, I can't sleep.

-What's wrong Hong'er, are you still thinking about the daytime?

- No, I'm scared ...

After speaking, Xia Hong lowered his head, and by the moonlight that came in obliquely from outside, I saw Xia Hong's face flush.

- Ah, what then, why don't you bring the futon over to this house and sleep?

I'm a bit out of my mind to ask.

Tang Hanqing, how could you give such a straight man's answer!

- Ah, I'll accompany you, it just so happens that I'm almost asleep, you go to sleep, I'm watching you.

This answer should be standard, neither embarrassing yourself nor the other person.

Xia Hong didn't say anything, but from her expression, she told me that she was very satisfied with this answer.

So I took Xia Hong out of this room, and I didn't forget to put Nianhe's head straight before leaving.

Tilting your head against the wall to sleep is really bad for the cervical spine, I just slept like this, and now my neck hurts.

- Go in and sleep, for I am here to watch over you, and I will not go anywhere.

I motioned for Xia Hong to go back to the house to sleep, she looked back at me, I saw a light in her eyes, I don't know if the light in her eyes was me, or the moon hanging diagonally in the treetops.

- Brother Hanqing, are you still there?

Not long after Xia Hong entered the house, I heard her whispering.

- I'm in Hong'er.

-Brother Hanqing, meeting you today is a blessing from Hong'er's previous life.

-It is also my blessing to meet you.

There was no more speech in the side hall, she should have fallen asleep
