Hard times have room

Chapter 401 Unreliable

When they arrived in the woods, as Pauline expected, she went in and took a stick, and searched casually for five or six minutes, but found nothing.

No, it doesn't count, there are still quite a few poisonous mushrooms, especially those mushrooms that are particularly fluffy and soft. The color is very pleasing, both yellow and red, and there are white spots on them, very similar to those on the skin that she ate in her previous life. Bread with butter, it's a little scary to think about it now.

After confirming this, Paulin went straight out of the woods. Although there were a lot of wild vegetables in the woods, there was no convenience outside.

Besides, there are many people outside. Pauline doesn't like to hang out with people, but it doesn't mean that she likes to be alone when she is outside. In her opinion, it is not very safe. place to rely on.

Arriving at the back mountain, Paulin saw many familiar faces, but others were busy digging wild vegetables and working, so they only looked at her, smiled and said, "Paulin is back", she replied, "Yes, It's a holiday," and you can safely pass.

This is still relatively enthusiastic, and people who have some contact with her will ask. Besides them, there are people who only bury their heads and work hard without raising their heads. Paulin is also happy for them. You know, along the way, encounter When it came to five or six very enthusiastic aunts, her face was about to freeze with laughter.

In addition to those aunts and aunts, most of them are little girls of the same age as Bao Lin. Eleven or twelve years old is the age to work. If they are older, they may be arranged to earn work points in the field. It's not just to see people, to stay at home and take good care of them, no matter how young they are, they can't do much work. When they come to the back mountain, they are afraid that something will happen to them, so the little baby at home becomes their task. .

At this time, people generally have a lot of births, but there are also many people who go because of illness and accidents. After all, the base is large, and many people can survive safely in the end.

This is not what she thought about it, but the fact. As far as she knows, the entire Shanghe Village has more than four births, more than half of the families, five or six is ​​not a lot.

Only in the small place of Shanghe Village, Wang Gen's family has the most births, and his family has a lot of babies.

In 20 years, one every two years on average, ten children in total, the oldest son and wife are all married, and the youngest son is still learning to walk. These ten were just born by Wang Gen’s wife, and now there are only six left in his family child.

Last year, his family married a daughter. It was a lively affair. There were a lot of brothers and sisters. Standing together, it was called a footstep. Someone is coming.

Along the way, Bao Lin didn't see Dongmei. She guessed that Dongmei might be bringing her nephews and nieces at home. Listening to Dongmei's little aunt's words, it also indirectly caused Dongmei to stay at home longer and longer.

I used to be able to run out and play from time to time. This is free, but now I can't. I have to report to my family in advance and free up people from other places to take over these two little guys.

After all, four or five-year-old little dolls are active, and people hate dogs. If they don't keep people at home and watch over them, if something really happens, it's too late to regret it.

After searching for a while in the back mountain, Paulin finally found a satisfactory place. There are a lot of wild vegetables and the thatch is not very high. Apart from the location being a little sloping and being a little far from the road, this place really has no shortcomings.

Half an hour later, the sun was about to go down completely, and Pauline's basket was also full of wild vegetables.

She's going home too, so hurry back from here. She walks faster and doesn't stop all the way. It takes ten minutes to get home. Maybe, her parents will come back as soon as she gets home, if they leave work early.

Half an hour later, Paulin, who had just picked wild vegetables in the kitchen, heard voices coming from outside. The voice was very low at first. She put down the pot in her hand, sat on the small bench, and listened intently before she could listen. It didn't take long for the sound outside the door to gradually increase. She knew that her parents had arrived home.

Thinking of this, Paulin directly picked up the vegetable bowl in her hand and placed it on the table to the side. With her wet hands, she wiped her clothes and walked out of the kitchen.

"Dad, Mom." Baolin spoke first when she saw Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang who had just opened the courtyard door and entered the courtyard.

She just said hello, called out, and came out to meet the scene, and there will be no more. She is not a very emotional person, and she has to be moved after going out. The family hugged with tears in their eyes, and said Missing this time, this scene, Bao Lin felt that her scalp was numb when she thought about it, and she couldn't do it.

Besides, it's only more than 20 days, so it's really unnecessary.

"Hey, Paulin is back." Before Wang Jiandang could react, Su Hongying quickly took down the hoe on her shoulder, and then leaned the hoe against Wang Jiandang, while she went straight ahead. go.

She didn't hug or hug, she just reached out and patted Pauline's shoulder: "I've lost weight, is the school food poor?"

Hearing this, Pauline was quite confused. She probably wasn't thin. When she was at school, she tried to eat as much as possible to prevent herself from starving.

If she lost weight, how miserable the other students in the school would be. After all, she secretly added meals, but others didn't.

Now her mother will think that she is thin, maybe because she has grown taller, um, sure enough, it is much easier to accept this way of thinking.

"No way, the food at school is okay. I'm just growing taller now, and I'm smoking bars, so you'll think I'm thin when you look at it."

"Is that so? I'll measure." After speaking, he pulled Pauline and asked her to stand up straight. The two of them tried to stand at the same height, stretched out their hands, and now gestured towards Pauline's head. The very straight gesture extended to his head.

"No, it's still the same as before, just up to my chin."

"Mom, are your hands reliable? I'm standing face to face with you now, and my eyes can look up to your mouth. You even said that I only reached your chin, which is too exaggerated." Paulin gestured to Su Hongying , the conclusion drawn is unbelievable.

Her mother's words appeared two years ago. At that time, she said to Pauline, who was only ten years old, that she was almost reaching her chin now. Try to eat more, and if she grows longer, she will soon surpass her. As a result, the result of last year's gesture was that it had reached her chin. If it was the same this year, it would be too unreliable.

Pauline knows best whether she has grown taller. She must have grown taller this year, but she doesn't know how tall she has grown.
