It was already noon, Chen Miao quickened his pace, and hurried back.

The city gate building was still two miles away from the sand pit, and it was too uncomfortable for her to carry two iron pots on her back. Not only is it heavy, but it also weighs on the back.

Liu Laifu heard the cry, ran over to watch the third sister-in-law come back, and let go of his hanging heart.

Catch up with the car, load the car and walk back, now everyone outside is scared.

Liu Laifu has mixed feelings in his heart, and he will feel at home after these two big iron pots.

Yesterday, the mother-in-law said very clearly, she gave a pot, that is, the rest was given by the third sister-in-law. Looking at the bright kitchen knife, this can last a lifetime.

"Three girls, I heard a lot of footsteps an hour ago, and I didn't dare to go out to look."

Chen Miao glanced at the ground, because there was no snow and no traces were left.

"A lot?"

"I listen to a lot."

Chen Miao's heart went up and down, and the two children hugged him in his arms, "Brother-in-law, speed up." ”

Liu Laifu was even more bottomless in his heart, and gave the little donkey two whips.

Chen Miao frowned. Could it be that the little devil is here again? Her eyes were fixed on the front, and an hour had passed, and she should not be able to catch up.

There are still sentry posts in the village, and they should know the news in advance.

The more anxious I was, the more I felt that the donkey cart was too slow, but there was nothing I could do.

Liu Laifu really has no bottom in his heart. "Three girls, are you a little devil?"

"I don't know."

Give each of the two children a piece of candy in their mouths. When it was time to eat, fortunately they ate half of the pancakes.

Coming to the village, Erqiang came out of the ditch on the side of the road, "Third sister." ”

"Well, did you find something?"

"No?"

"The eldest brother-in-law said that he heard a lot of footsteps two hours ago, you must be careful, I will go back and tell them to bring you food."

"Knowing the third sister, we will be careful."

It's reassuring to know that there's nothing going on. Whether it's a little devil or a second dog or something, they should all come out of the county seat.

Along the way, we passed through many villages. Is this going somewhere else?

"Brother-in-law, you take us to the village chief's house."

Shen Wufu frowned when he heard their words.

"Fifth uncle, I have already instructed Erqiang to find someone to bring them food in a while."

"Hmm. You can go back too. ”

The car rushed to Chen's house, and the big iron pot, kitchen knife, salt, kerosene lamp, and flint were all put down.

Chen He was not there, she took the children to clean up the yard. Several pieces of the earthen wall have fallen and need to be cleaned up.

"Mother, pay attention, there may be a little devil and two dogs coming, and when they hear the bell, they take Chen Dou up the mountain."

"Got it, so are you." It's not endless.

After Chen Miao arrived home, she first gave milk to her two children, both wearing masks, and she was not afraid of choking.

Lunch is steamed steamed buns, steamed egg custard, as long as the children go out with them, they will not be able to eat well.

The two brothers both like braised pork, and the three mothers were satisfied when they heard Zhao Xiaoyun shouting outside.

"Have you eaten it? Go in for a bite to eat? ”

"No, it's this hour, that is, you haven't eaten yet, I'm just sending you a sand table."

"Well, I'll go to your house in the afternoon."

After eating, Chen Miao cleaned up a knife of rice paper, a good brush, two ordinary pens, a thin inkstone, and a dictionary lent by Shen Jianlin to take the two children to Shen's house.

"Aunt Five, I'll return Jianlin's dictionary."

"There's no hurry, you use it first."

"No, I went to the county seat today and bought it."

Shen Jianlin came in and looked at Chen Miao at the things on the table.

"I also bought pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and brought some back for you. Thank you for calling me literate. ”

"I'll give you as much as I want."

"No, it's my thanks."

"I'll give you as much as I want." Shen Jianlin looked at Chen Miao persistently.

Looking at his firm expression, "You just give me one hundred and fifty wen." ”

"It must be more than that."

"Almost, these two ordinary brushes were given to Jiaojiao and Zikang by me." It was originally given by someone else's shopkeeper.

Shen Jianlin came in with the money after a while and put it on the table.

"What else did you buy besides the dictionary?"

"There are also some books of enlightenment."

"Well, you can also use it, if you don't know or understand, you can come to me."

Chen Miao nodded, to be honest, he really didn't understand.

Shen Jianlin left with rice paper, this is the eldest brother's house after all.

There isn't much paper left at home, and readers like this.

Because of today's discovery, Chen Miao didn't stay long, calling the two children home.

There was no movement until the evening, so I guess I didn't come to the village. I don't know if that village is out of luck.

Sleep at night is especially vigilant. I wake up a little tired in the morning. Niang San can be said to be at home without leaving home.

After two days like this, Chen He came over on the seventh day of the first lunar month.

"The eldest sister has packed up? You eat sweet potatoes, I just baked them. ”

"Don't eat, third sister, the house has been cleaned up, today your brother-in-law took the three children to collect firewood, and the kang was already set up yesterday. It can be dried after a few days. ”

"Well, eldest sister, you can come and pull grain whenever you want, there is no cellar there, I'll give you two bags of corn first.

I have a stone mill at home, if Liu Kui and they have nothing to do, you can come and pull it after eating. ”

"Third sister, I can't afford to eat cornmeal alone, we eat a lot, do we have sorghum?"

Chen Miao shook his head, "There aren't many, I didn't plant them." Sweet potatoes can give you two bags. ”

Medium. Collect firewood first these days, and let them grind it in a few days.

Third sister, eldest sister, thank you, rest assured, I will definitely return this food as soon as possible. ”

Chen Miao smiled and did not refuse. If you pay it back, you will ask for it, and if you don't pay it back, you won't ask for it.

Chen He is much more down-to-earth now, the two of them had already discussed it last night, and now it is cold and freezing, so they can only go to collect firewood. A fire is indispensable every day.

The three children are all doing it, this is their own home, and they are also energetic to do it.

When she got home, she said, "Mother, there is no sorghum in the third sister's house." ”

"I'll give you a bag here."

"Hmm. The third sister said to give me two bags of corn and two bags of sweet potatoes first. ”

"Big girl. The three girls helped you. ”

"Mother, I know. If it weren't for you and the third sister, how would our family live? ”

"You have to let Xiao Kui and the three of them remember the kindness of their third aunt."

"I know, I won't forget it."

Liang Caixia was relieved that the matter of the eldest daughter was solved. In the future, as long as you are willing to work, life will definitely go by.

So far, the three sons have not shown any performance.

It's not something that can be forced. If you are willing to help, you can help, and if you are not willing, it is reasonable, and no one's life is easy. Helping you is love, not helping normal.

Chen Miao put more than ten large gourds in the cellar, which also gave them away, and he didn't like to eat gourds. It's a waste to put it away, and you can save them some food.
