Pastoral Five Siblings

It took four people to make dumplings for a dozen or so people, and it took only a short while for Si Xia to rush in: "I'm starving! I'm starving!"

"If you want to fill your stomach quickly, grab firewood and start a fire." Yuchun ordered: "Carry a bundle of bean straw and fetch a bundle of firewood.

Si Xia's neck was swollen, expressing that he didn't want to do it, Yu Chun stared at him: "It's time to learn to cook, a seven-year-old still wants to run around and play all day long, what about your embroidery work?"

When talking about embroidery work, Si Xia simply ran to hold the firewood. Several people laughed, and Li Xue said, "Si Xia is afraid that she will be asked to embroider, and it should be smaller. It will be determined in two years."

The little girl said: "I don't start school until eleven, and Si Xia is not in a hurry,"

But Jing Niang said: "This is the north. Girls in the south learn embroidery very early. As long as they know how to hold a needle, they will be taught. The more elementary the better."

"That's right, Qiuqiu started learning when she was only four years old. Sixia can't sit still. It's no wonder she can learn well." Yuchun had already seen through that Sixia couldn't become a embroiderer. People's autumn and autumn have delayed them all.

"Si Xia, if you don't embroider flowers well, don't go to Qiuqiu's house. If you don't work hard yourself, you can't affect Qiuqiu." What are you doing, when Master Zhen was teaching, she saw that Si Xia was still very honest, and she would be pissed off once Master Zhen left.

I thought that Qiuqiu and Sixia were the youngest, and Master Zhen didn't take them as seriously as the others.

"Who doesn't embroider! Fourth Aunt Wei still teaches Qiuqiu and us every day, and Master Zhen teaches so deeply. I don't understand. I understand after learning from Fourth Aunt Wei." When Si Xia said, Yuchun understood, yes ah!After all, Sixia and Qiuqiu had only studied for a short time, and Master Zhen didn't let her embroider any big pieces, only purses and handkerchiefs.

I just learned by myself, I really don't know what Si Xia embroiders?

Master Zhen has been away these days, and he is busy with the work in the field.Forgot about Sixia, Yuchun only thought of the waterwheel, and waited for Master to come back and install it.

Things are too complicated, I have forgotten my sewing machine these days, I have to finish harvesting the wheat, and then plant late crops.Then I had to grow melons, and the farm work continued. If there were hundreds of acres of land, I would be exhausted.

Yuchun taught Sixia how to start a fire: "This way." Yuchun cleaned up the ashes in the stove, and put the bean stalks into the stove first, and added sorghum stalks on top of the bean stalks.And above that are twigs.Coupled with a few large pieces of firewood, the fire sickle hit like this "stab!" and immediately ignited the bean straw: "will you?"

"This shit is much easier to learn than embroidery." Si Xia took a fire scythe and "stabbed" it several times.Didn't know: "You don't work that shit."

"That's because you haven't learned it." Yuchun smiled at Sixia: "It's not easy to understand everything just by looking at it."

"Si Xia, hurry up to add firewood." As soon as Yu Chun ordered Si Xia, Si Xia was in a hurry. The firewood was running low, so she rushed to grab firewood and filled it in a hurry.

Already sweating, Si Xia's little black hand.After wiping his face, his face turned black.He patted his body again, making his whole body black.

"Look, doing some work is not enough to do your laundry. After four summers, if you learn to wash your own clothes, you will know how to remember not to smear your clothes.

Everyone is busy, don't wait for someone to serve you. "

"Who uses you to serve?" Si Xia was still unwilling to listen.

"The clothes you're wearing are thrown around. Did you wash one or half of them yourself? We all picked them up and washed them for you. We ate more than anyone else. We're lazy and don't want to work. We'll put Si Xia's clothes in the future. Pick it out, and don't let anyone wash it for her." Si Xia's words obviously angered Yu Chun, and everyone served her without showing any mercy.

"She's still young, she's still young." A few people could only play discs.

"Small? I look at the big from a young age, and the old at three years old. Which of us waits until the age of seven to wash clothes, and goes to the mountains to collect firewood at the age of four. Everyone is used to serving her and develops the habit of ordering others. Enjoy, it’s not a good thing to get used to it like this, and what you learned from Gu’s and Zhou’s is unacceptable here.” Starting today, Yuchun decided not to serve Sixia anymore, and if he wants to stay here, he should be clean, tidy and thrifty. Always take out the trick at Tao's house, and he will drive her away.

Seeing that Yuchun was angry, Sixia fainted immediately. She was afraid that Yuchun would drive her away: "I do my own laundry, and I don't need you anymore." Sixia felt wronged, and everyone here was better than her Big, why don't you want to work for her?

Thinking about it, it's better to be in front of mother, mother never let her do work.But Si Xia thought about it again, why did Mother want Third Sister to work?Maybe it's because she's older. If I'm older, will my mother want her to work? Maybe, they don't all work.

She also thought that her father was going to sell her, but she dared not go home, her mother was sick and went to the elder sister's house, and she couldn't protect her, and if she went back to Tao's house by herself, she would be sold by her father.It is good to work here, and there is nothing delicious to go back.

If Yuchun was not afraid that Tao Siguo would sell Sixia, she would have driven Sixia away a long time ago, how could she be willing to raise a child for the Gu family, Sixia would feel uncomfortable here in Yuchun's heart.

Sixia is no more than Yongming, they have been through hardships together, and Yongming and Yonghui have helped her.Yong Yong is a sensible person, in fact, Yu Chun looks at Si Xia very disliked, when he sees Si Xia, he thinks of Gu Shi, and Si Xia is spoiled by Gu Shi.

Thinking about it again, she even took care of the little girl, so it would be four summers.

Yuchun thought it was time to fish for dumplings, each of them grabbed a bowl, and the rest were put into bamboo baskets: "Eat first, I will deliver the rice to Master." Yuchun took the bowls and chopsticks, and picked up the small basket The dumplings I made went to the master's place, Chai Lao would not sit at a table with a group of girls to eat.

Si Xia was eager to eat, and when she was full, she threw down her chopsticks and ran out. Yu Chun just blocked Si Xia by entering the door: "Stop, and run after eating. I will leave the work of cleaning the dishes to you today."

"Do you still use me to wash the dishes?" Si Xia is definitely not someone who likes to work.

"You wash your own clothes by yourself, we don't let you wash ours, just take care of yourself. Washing the dishes every three days is to let you learn to be diligent. You don't really need to work. People have to develop the habit of thrift , Usually when you have nothing to do, you must have eyesight and know how to find work.

If a housewife is lazy, the house will be like a dog pen.Practice some good habits from childhood, and when you grow up, you won't let people point and say you're lazy. "Yu Chun said a few words, she would say whatever Si Xia liked to hear or not, that is, if she lived with her, she had to submit to her control.

Yu Chun waited for Si Xia to finish cleaning the bowls, then handed the dumplings warm in the pot to Si Xia: "Take it to Qiuqiu, and embroider with Qiuqiu properly, and bring back what you embroidered for me to see."

Si Xia: "Yeah" and walked away quickly.Every time Yuchun ate dumplings or stewed meat and stewed chicken, he would send some to Qiuqiu. Fourth Aunt Wei’s family was struggling, and she was usually reluctant to eat meat. Not willing to add more oil, as long as Fourth Aunt Wei has a good meal, she will keep Si Xia to eat.

The noon dumplings were left for each of Yongming and the others. Yuchun fried the dumplings with oil in a big iron pan and cooked noodles in a big pot. The dinner at night was quite lively.Continue to rest after eating.

Tomorrow we will go up the mountain to pick mushrooms.

"Yuchun! Get up!" the little girl yelled from room to room, making everyone refreshed. How can they eat more if they are sleepy? It is very tiring to go up the mountain all day, so how can you not eat enough.

Everyone in several rooms woke up, Xiaoya and the noodles used three pans to bake big cakes, and they had to bring dry food when they went up the mountain.

Li Xue looked at the three stove pits, Xiaoyaer and Yuchun turned over the pancakes in the three pans, Jing Niang was in charge of rolling the pancakes, and the pancakes would be baked in about two quarters of an hour.

The egg soup, flatbread and big pickles are also very filling.

A few people started to set off. There were not so many thin bamboo baskets in the house, and even the wicker baskets with big eyes were used. The grass baskets were also carried, and they were all lined with cloth to prevent the mushrooms from missing.

After scraping together for a long time, we still haven't got the basket, so we had to carry two small baskets and some cloth bags for grain.The mighty army went straight to Aunt Wei's house.

Dongdong and the others also finished their meal, and Qiuqiu clamored to follow up the mountain. Qiuqiu heard that they were picking up mushrooms and selling them for money, so she wanted to follow them anyway. How could Fourth Aunt Wei let Qiuqiu go? She would become a burden to everyone.

"Mom, I'm going fast, let me pick up a lot more," Qiuqiu begged, "Sister Yuchun, talk to my mother about love."

"It's not that I won't help you. It's really tiring to go up the mountain. You can't walk that far. Why don't you go in Sixia? At that time, we have to carry you on your back. We can't leave you on the mountain if you can't walk. I have to carry mushrooms when I come back, and I can’t spare someone to carry you.” When Yuchun said that, Qiuqiu withered.

Dongdong and the others had brought their things, and everyone set off immediately.

I came very early today, and walked out for a quarter of an hour. I was so talented that I was afraid that I could not find a large piece of mushrooms, and it would take a long time to gather them all. I was so lucky as the day before yesterday, and those large pieces of mushrooms were once in a thousand years.

Once you go back to the mountain, you have to return with a full load. Generally, if the time is short, you will be dissatisfied.

As soon as the day dawned, the road looked better. Everyone took the time to walk quickly. Yuchun's family and Dongdong's three brothers happened to be ten people. They didn't see the mushrooms until they were in the mountains.Everyone dispersed.

We greet each other within a short distance, for fear of being separated, afraid of being alone, or getting lost.

If I want to find the place the day before yesterday, where to find it, I can't remember that place for a long time.

"Jingniang!..." Jingniang ran so fast that she disappeared in a blink of an eye.As soon as Li Xue called out, Jing Niang agreed: "I'm here!..."

It turned out that Jingniang was not far away, and it was the trees blocking Jingniang.

"Yuchun, there are a lot of mushrooms here!" Yuchun promised, "Got it!" Both times, it was Jingniang who found a large piece of mushrooms.

Yuchun also shouted: "Everyone come here, there are many here!" Yuchun looked like it was the place the day before yesterday, so lucky?Walking without a goal, just walked to the place the day before yesterday?

If you take a closer look, it is true that the marks they sat on the day before yesterday are still there, and it seems that there is not much to pick today.

When Yu Chun shouted, everyone gathered together. There are a lot of mushrooms in this area. It seems to be a depression. There is not much rain now. There are so many mushrooms growing here. If it is not for the depression, how can they grow. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
