Poor family mother and son

"master!"

"elder brother!"

One calm, one crisp, two voices came at the same time.

Chu Qing looked back and saw that it was Zhuo Yao with a little girl standing beside him.

The little girl looked about five or six years old, and she looked very similar to Wubing.

It's just that the two children have been malnourished for a long time, and the big and agile eyes that should have been the same look a little dull now, and they look a little big and abrupt on their thin and sunken faces.

"Master, this girl..." Zhuo Yao looked at the girl and then at the boy, except for the different hair, there was really no difference.

"I...I want to find my brother!" the girl said timidly.

"She's here to look for me! Uh...Master...Aunt...Master Aunt!" Weibing only remembered now, and he never called this somewhat "stupid" person.

Don't look at the clothes that this person is wearing without patches, but he should not be rich either.

Otherwise, she is obviously a woman, so why would she pick up other people's clothes and wear them like herself and her younger sister?

It's still men's clothes, and you can't even find women's clothes.

"Uh..." Xiangzi felt that it was really embarrassing for this child. The child in the military household area has little experience, so it is not very good to have such a reaction, but this title sounds really awkward!
"This is Master Cotton!" Zhuo Yao introduced.

He didn't want anyone to just call Chu Qing "Auntie" or anything close to it!
"Ah!" The two children exclaimed, and then covered their mouths with their small hands together, and then, Wubing knelt down and kowtowed, and even dragged the stunned sister to her knees: "My lord, forgive me! The little one... the little one deserves to die!" !"

"Damn the little one!" The little girl was frightened by her brother's reaction, and hurriedly said, her voice trembling, and tears began to roll in her eyes.

"Get up, my lord didn't blame you." Zhuo Yao pretended not to see Chu Qing's slightly reproachful gaze, and ordered the two children to get up.

Just now when he sent the letter and came to look for Chu Qing, he saw Chu Qing talking to a little boy. Fortunately, Xiangzi was watching, so he didn't bother him.

But the little girl rushed forward, as if she didn't see him, and kept rushing forward, so he had no choice but to grab her, covered her mouth, and stopped her.

But he heard that there used to be a type of people in Dong Lun Kingdom who were not born to grow up and would always be like children, who were recruited by the nobles to be killers.

Who would be too defensive with a child?
Therefore, Zhuo Yao stopped the little girl by covering her mouth, and carefully identified that she wasn't the kind of "dwarf" who couldn't grow up, so she was a little relieved.

He didn't let go of his hand until Chu Qing finished talking just now and turned his body a little sideways in his direction, afraid that Chu Qing would see him "abuse" the child.

So he also called "Master" while the little girl called her brother to cover it up.

Standing behind Chu Qing, Xiangzi pouted at Zhuo Yao: Don't pretend I didn't see what you did just now!If you want to gag my mouth, don't even think about stewing big meat!

"My lord, this is Xiao's younger sister, called Wu disaster." Wu Bing hurriedly introduced him.

Chu Qing said: "Okay, I remembered, no illness, no disaster, good name! Let's go back and get fried dough sticks!"

Sigh, hurry back, it's okay to scare children!
Chu Qing walked ahead, commanding the ducks when he was not sick, while Wu Zhe took his brother's bamboo shovel and scooped up duck droppings along the way to wrap them up.

Chu Qing thinks that this kind of life is actually quite good, there is no pollution, it is all pure natural.

Behind him, there was a whispered conversation between two children——

Wubing asked: "Why did you come here? How about leaving mother alone at home?"

If there is no disaster, he said: "Waiting for you to eat, mother saw that you didn't come back for a long time, so she sent me to see what happened. Don't they accept our ducks?"

He was hesitant when he was not sick, and he didn't understand. Should Mr. Cotton wait for the chickens and ducks to grow up before collecting them, or can he collect them now?
"I... I don't know either, anyway, she didn't say no, she didn't say she would accept it now." Wu Bing said.

"Then should we accept it or not? We still have to prescribe medicine for mother!" There is no emergency.

Chu Qing didn't want them to sell it now.

How well they are raised, they start eating insect eggs at such a young age, which can kill a lot of locusts, and it is much easier than killing all the locusts after hatching.

Moreover, if you sell it now, you really can't get a good price.

However, according to what they said, they needed money now, and it was quite urgent.

Chu Qing didn't say anything, and wanted to wait and see how the two children discussed it.

"Little sister, help me think about it, Mr. Mian Mian will give us a job, one catty of grain or ten Wen per day..." Wu Bing whispered Chu Qing's request to his sister.

Then he asked: "Little sister, look, our ducks are not yet ready to lay eggs, and they still waste food, so they can't be sold at a good price;
If we don't sell chickens and ducks first, we can buy a medicine from Ye Langzhong on credit today, which is only [-] Wen, which can last for three days, and then we choose wages instead of food, and then we can pay him back the day after tomorrow;

But if you sell the chickens and ducks, you can go to the medical center in the city today and ask the doctor to come back and take a good look at it;
But we are selling a lot less money, and Mr. Cotton wants us to raise more chickens and ducks to catch bugs; what do we do? "

No disaster immediately replied: "Brother, do you need to think about it? There are still a batch of chickens and ducks at home that are less than two months old!

Mother also said this morning that another batch will be hatched in the next two days, how can the family let it go!There are so many chickens and ducks crowded together so they don't get sick?Besides, our family has no food to feed!

Also, although Ye Lang's medicine is not expensive, it's not very useful. It's not good for my mother to delay it for so long. I have to ask a reliable doctor to take a closer look. "

All luck is a fart in the face of cruel reality!
Wubing nodded in frustration: "You're right, let's sell it!"

Wubing caught up with Chu Qing, and asked cautiously, "My lord, do you accept the ducks I brought?"

"Accept." Chu Qing said, "The chicken is also accepted."

He was still worried when he was not sick, and asked, "Then... can we still be commanders?"

Wuzai tugged at his elder brother's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Ask her again, is the commander an official? Can our children be officials?"

Wubing pressed his younger sister's hand down, afraid that Chu Qing would see her younger sister's small movements, and whispered: "It must not be an official, I have never heard such an official name, the adults let us take care of chickens and ducks;
But we can still take care of the children in the village so that they don't dare to bully us! "

Originally, I was a little disappointed when my brother said that the commander was not an official, but he was happy when he heard that he could manage the children in the village.

Her extravagance is not big, and she wants to be an official because she doesn't want to be bullied by the villagers anymore.

It's not mother's fault that father is dead, why do they talk about "widows" every day, but they always find mother trouble for anything big?
Adults make troubles for their mothers, and children make troubles for themselves and their elder brothers.
