In the first few days, Qin Xi and Qin Jiang were still a little unaccustomed to it, but man is a very adaptable animal, and he slowly got used to it.

The newly formed family, there is no fighting, no yin and yang, everyone is working hard for life, even if they sweat every day, but their hearts are still sweet.

Yu Qingqiu's shared life with the brother and sister is quite pleasant, when they are not busy, they will sit on the threshold, chat, listen to her tell the past, and sometimes, they will also tell her about the ancients, that is, to tell stories, both of them listen to it with relish, this feeling, she is like returning to the podium, lecturing to students.

Sometimes, when she is interested, she will also turn out her few precious books, teach them word by word, starting from the most basic literacy, and then reading comprehension, interspersed with the background of the author's times, living environment, very interesting, whether it is Qin Xi or Qin Jiang, you can listen to it.

In the morning, when Qin Xi and Qin Jiang are not busy, they will help her, and her dinner is basically contracted by the brothers and sisters, how to say it, a feeling of finding a new family.

In August, Qin Xi went to the black market more diligently, and seeing that autumn was about to begin, she and her brother's quilt problem had not been solved!

Yongxin County does not grow cotton, all cotton is shipped from other places, the price has been high, she has no ticket, can only buy high-priced cotton on the black market, the brother and sister's income in July, only in exchange for a bed of eight pounds of quilt.

In addition, they also hoarded 150 catties of grain in the cave, that is, 100 catties of corn, 20 catties of soybeans and 30 catties of peanuts.

This year is a bumper harvest year, the price of grain is lower than in previous years, Qinxi sees that the price is cheap, and he has stored some in the cave, all of which are durable, every two months, when the weather is very good, at noon, take it out to dry, these grains are stored in the cave for two years is no problem, and they can't be wasted.

Besides, these grains can't be stored for so long, and the three of them have to consume three to four catties of grain every day, replenishing them while consuming, basically keeping the stone cave with a stock of about one hundred and fifty catties.

Because the stone cave put food, the two of them were more cautious in camouflage with vines at the entrance of the stone cave, and when they looked closely, they couldn't see anything, with this, the two were more relieved.

It's August, the harvest season, this doesn't just mean the harvest of crops, the wild fruits and fungus mushrooms in the forest have ushered in a bumper harvest, the brothers and sisters are busy and happy, and they get up and set off into the mountains every day.

Yu Qingqiu couldn't help much, so he could only get up early and cook a few sweet potatoes for the brothers and sisters, so that they could eat them while walking on the road to cushion their stomachs.

Now that the food of the three of them is basically mixed together, Qin Xi feels that it is too troublesome to cook separately, so she simply goes together, and she doesn't want the old lady to hand over any food, and she can't eat much as an old lady.

At the beginning, it was Grandma Yu who took them in, they didn't want rent, she would help clean up the things that their brothers and sisters brought back, and she would help watch the things that were dried at home, and she would help take them back when it rained, she had already helped them a lot, Qin Xi could only use the method of eating together to repay this kind old lady, because she gave things directly, this old lady didn't want them at all, she was very stubborn.

When the two of them arrived in the forest, they were like bandits crossing the border, what they could eat and what was useful, as long as they saw it, they didn't let it go.

Now Qin Xi has started to dry herbs again, and it is also an entry, on average, he can earn two yuan a month, and the most important thing is not to delay things, after all, this thing was brought back when they picked up mushrooms, fruits, and fungus.

Of course, this kind of herb that can be seen everywhere is definitely not valuable, in this kind of forest to find valuable ginseng, it is a pipe dream, the place is wrong, this is the south, where does the ginseng come from! Ganoderma lucidum is possible.

However, Qin Xi has been here for more than a year, and she has never even seen the shadow of this thing, nor has she heard of anyone who picked it, so she expressed doubts about whether this piece of Lingzhi will grow or not.

When I went, I was empty-handed, and when I returned, I was fully loaded, and I didn't even have my hands empty, and I clutched the branches on both sides.

As long as they returned, their hands were empty, and when they came across the dead branches on the way, they had to pick them up and take them back to make a fire.

Said that the firewood at home their brothers and sisters have been packed, then of course you have to do it, you pick up a day with a day can't do it, the firewood at home is not piled high, the old man will not rest assured, she has no sense of security, always feel that there will be no firewood to burn in the next meal, will uncontrollably want to pick up firewood.

So when the two of them were idle before, they deliberately took five days to fill the firewood room at home, and the neat stacks of firewood made people feel a sense of security, and they were no longer afraid of the wind and snow in winter.

Up to now, some firewood has been piled up under the eaves, half a person high, and when the weather is good, they all use firewood from outside to burn the fire, and at home, you can hoard it and burn it slowly.

"Slow down. Slow down" Yu Qingqiu looked at the little person, carrying a basket full of things behind her back, worried about it, and hurriedly went up to help her unload the burden on her shoulders.

"What do you say you are doing so hard, now is the time to grow your body, too many things on your back will affect your height, why don't you listen!"

"I think it's okay, this weight, for me, sprinkle water!" While speaking, Qin Xi walked over and helped Qin Jiang, who was squatting, to unload the basket.

She doesn't care about this, in the past few months, she has eaten and slept well, nothing to worry about, and she hasn't seen many annoying people, now she has grown to her brother's chin, how to say that there is also a meter five eight, this height, in the south, is already good, she is very satisfied.

Besides, her brother carried more and heavier things than her, and if she didn't share some of them, wouldn't it all have to be pressed on her brother's shoulders, and he would feel tired.

"Forget it, I can't talk about you, you just need to know it yourself."

"Wash your hands quickly, come in and eat, today I cooked mung bean porridge, beat the heat, and steamed your favorite potatoes."

Now her life is much easier, except for the task of sweeping the street three times a day, the rest of the time, just cook at home, and they are not picky eaters, they are very easy to raise.

The water in the water tank at home and the firewood in the kitchen were all solved with the help of the brothers and sisters of the Qin family, which saved her a lot of trouble. In the past, they used to take a small bucket and bring it back one by one, but now with them, the brother and sister each have a burden, and they directly fill the water tank.
