The ewe's eyes were round and icy, like a pair of small light bulbs, Mei Sanniang touched it gently, and pulled the lamb and the ewe into the circle.

Although the sheep was not changed back before, this sheep seems to have learned the essence of Mei Sanniang, and Mei Sanniang can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

This night, she slept very soundly.

Wait for the next morning, she still has endless work, although Mei Xue is small, but she is very sensible, she will help the family do farm work, and the little baby gets up as early as Mei Sanniang.

Sometimes Mei Sanniang also wants to strike, but whenever she hears the sound of the child screaming and waiting to be fed, she can only get up helplessly, she rubs the chicken nest hair helplessly, and the voice of lamentation can only be swallowed back every time it comes to her mouth.

Life has to go on, and we can only smile and meet tomorrow.

After Mei Sanniang simply cleaned up, she steamed the steamed buns, fed them and returned to the hall to take Xue'er and lead the sheep up the mountain.

When the weeds grow an inch high in the field, the sheep cannot be put in the field, and the sheep will be trampled on in a hurry, and the whole field will be finished up.

In the open space on the mountain, the weeds are higher than people, Mei Sanniang tied the lamb and the ewe to the tree, and then she let Xue'er guard the sheep, her purpose to go up the mountain today is to cut firewood, the firewood at home has been burned almost, it will rain lightly in a few days, and then I am afraid that the family will not even have firewood, and I have no firewood.

If you want to ask her how she knows, it's actually very simple, "During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls." ”

It's March, and this god has fallen a few drops of rain from time to time, mercilessly slapping on the returned family members without mercy.

This time, they went up the mountain to chop firewood just in case, the rain in March was very humid, and the firewood did not necessarily dry after a day of sunshine, and sometimes it was very dry and wet after a day or two.

Mei Sanniang is responsible for cutting down the dead wood, she cuts it down little by little, after the whole tree falls, she uses a saw to sawn it into small pieces little by little, which is convenient to carry when the time comes, and then Xue'er is responsible for watching the sheep eat grass, these sheep are their hearts and livers, and they will regret losing their intestines.

But the longer she guarded the sheep, the more anxious she became.

She watched her mother so tired that her chest was pressed against her back, and the rag she was carrying had been squeezed and squeezed.

Mei Sanniang didn't expect that she would fall to this point one day, and she didn't sweat so much in the gym before.

Today is a little chopping wood, and I am tired like this.

Sweat had wet her eyes, and she couldn't blink them open.

She wiped her sweat, then picked up the saw and continued to start sawing wood, and then a pair of thin and withered hands appeared in front of her eyes, Cher's hands did not look like the hands of a seven or eight-year-old girl, they were covered with calluses, and there were scars left by frostbite, and then they were more like the hands of a middle-aged woman.

Xue'er handed over the water cup and sweetly called out the word mother.

"Mother, drink water, why don't you rest for a while, let Xue'er come."

Mei Sanniang didn't want to rest, for the sake of an irrelevant original owner, she spread down such a troublesome matter.

"Xue'er, you can't see this wood, just take care of the sheep, leave these jobs to Wei's mother, and we can go home when we are done."

In fact, just one tree, Mei Sanniang tossed for a long time, and someone like her with thin arms and legs should pick up some dry branches.

But there is a problem, where to pick up so much fine dry firewood, they need to go around the woods, and no matter how high they go, they will not necessarily encounter poisonous snakes and wild wolves.

Will the eagle with wings flying take away the child, she doesn't know this, in the past, there were several gentlemen who went up the mountain in groups, which was like Mei Sanniang, the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, she didn't know the situation in the mountain.

And the fine firewood is not resistant to burning, and after a while, the fine firewood is burned out, only for a large man like this, the fire lasts longer and lasts longer.

"Mother, you can rest for a while, Xue'er knows how to see wood."

Saying that, Xue'er picked up the saw and waved it in a good way, if it were the current parents, they would not be in a hurry to jump off the wall when they saw their children so rigid, for fear that their children would have fewer arms and legs.

Mei Sanniang looked at Xue'er's saw, she nodded, and instructed: "Then you be careful, when you are tired, tell your mother, and your mother will go to the side to rest for a while." ”

Mei Xue is obedient, her neat hands and feet are faster than Mei Sanniang's, Mei Sanniang once suspected that she seemed to be inferior to a child.

Mei Sanniang rested for a while, and then began to pick up the small branches that fell around, and also went to get the yellow wattle bark, when the time came, she could bundle the firewood into a stack, so that she could carry it back on her back.

Xue'er saw it almost, Mei Sanniang cut down another tree, and it didn't take long for the sky to change color, but it was noon, but the sky was dark.

God's mood is really unstable, March is the season of viruses and flu, if you get wet by the rain and catch a cold, the extra things are gone.

"Cher, let's go home."

"Here, help me get a handful."

Faced with a bundle of firewood that was bigger than a person, Mei Sanniang could only choose to carry it, she couldn't let a seven-year-old child carry such a heavy burden on her back.

She squatted under the stone and let Cher help her pump it, and her back was much heavier at once.

She staggered when she stood up at first, and staggered after a few steps, but fortunately, Cher handed her a wooden stick, and she stood firm with it, and went down the mountain step by step, while Cher was responsible for leading the sheep, and in this way, the two of them slowly went up.

Passing in front of the Zhao family, the pastoral dog barked frantically.

In the deafening barking of dogs, there was a violent coughing sound, which seemed to tear the heart out, as if it was about to cough out the heart, and it sounded like thunder, and the voice of a woman kept coming from the roaring voice, as if she was complaining about her husband, and like she was coughing heartbreakingly.

Mei Sanniang just passed by the door of Zhao's house and didn't stay long, because what she cared about was the mad dogs of the Zhao family, and the barking of the dogs would disturb the lamb.

Mei Sanniang tried her best to let the sheep pass quickly to find a home.

Fortunately, the frightening situation of the sheep was not very serious, and after a while the sheep began to eat grass.

She will put the firewood in the firewood room one by one into small pieces, not to mention that this is still a file strength work, it is not good to split for a long time, it may be chopped well, while it has not completely rained, these firewood can be chopped as much as possible.

When it rains, the temperature drops dramatically, so they can use it to keep warm after they burn the charcoal fire.

After everything was done, Cher sat in front of the door and looked into the distance, where Daddy was, and she couldn't remember where Daddy had gone.

Whenever someone gets sick, she always thinks of her father for the first time, and his father once told her.

"As long as I'm here, Cher won't get sick."

Cher didn't dare to get sick, because she was worried about her body at all times after her mother went crazy, and once she got sick, she might pass the illness on to her brother.

The younger brother's grade is still young, so he must not get sick, he has the lowest resistance and is the easiest to be hit.

If she gets sick, it will undoubtedly add to the family's snow.

Fortunately, Xue'er has almost never been sick for so long, and she has given birth once, or when she has a fever.

At that time, her mother was delirious and didn't care about her life or death, and she didn't dare to tell Uncle Erzhu about it, because it costs money to see a doctor, and she was embarrassed to tell her uncle, so she could only physically cool down, wet it with a towel over and over again and put it on her forehead, and constantly wiped her body.

She tentatively asked others how to cool down, and she had tried all kinds of methods.

She was wrapped in the quilt and listened to the old people say that if you have a fever, you can cover your sweat, so that it is beneficial to reduce the fever, as long as the fever can be reduced, everything is developing in a good direction.

That's it, she carried it for a day and a night, and the next day she was completely prostrate, and she had to support her body to find food for her mother and brother.

Now that her mother has regained her senses, she cherishes every day with her mother.

Motherless children are like grass, she knows it well.

"Mother, who coughed so badly just now? It's like setting off firecrackers for the New Year. ”

Mei Sanniang looked at Mei Xue curiously, and said with a smile: "You little girl still know firecrackers?" Ever heard the sound of firecrackers? ”

Mei Xue said: "Of course I've heard it, didn't my mother set off firecrackers when she got married in the past?" ”

Mei Sanniang was stunned, yes, she hadn't heard the sound of firecrackers for a long time.

When every household hangs lanterns and sets off firecrackers, Cher is still worried about heating and eating.

Spring has begun in the blink of an eye, and time flies so fast.

The original owner probably didn't expect that he would survive the winter, but he didn't survive the spring.

Spring is a symbol of life, everything is developing in a good direction, Mei Sanniang told Xue'er: "That uncle is sick." ”

Xue'er looked at her mother very innocently, and she asked, "Isn't Uncle very pitiful, he has coughed like that." ”

"I feel like my uncle is going to be terminally ill, so pitiful."

Whoever is not pitied, and no one who has no money to buy medicine is pitiful, but even so, there will not be many people who lend a helping hand.

Because everyone only cares about themselves, and they don't think about others.

"Xue'er, we can't get sick, your brother is still young and easy to be infected."

"If there is any root cause of disease in the future, it will not be easy to eliminate."

"Xue'er, you have to remember that when you go out, you must stay away from people who sneeze and cough, you are still a child, and you are easy to be infected."

Mei Sanniang knows that people in the countryside have always broken jars and broken jars, spitting and sneezing without covering their mouths.

These bad habits are all bad, and many countrymen don't pay attention to them, and they look disgusting and disgusting.

Whether it is in the city or in the countryside, there are always these people, although Xue'er can't go to school, Mei Sanniang teaches her all the time.

Because she knows that although the teachers in the village are knowledgeable, they need to take care of many classmates, often so, some children can not take care of them, teachers are not food and clothing parents, will not teach children special things, often quality is a person's moral embodiment, but also reflects the family quality.

"Xue'er, do you remember what your mother said?"

Mei Xue nodded obediently.

"Remembered."
