Peerless pastoral little green plum

Chapter 13 The Cool Pei Family

Yao Huahua fell into a deep sleep this time, and didn't know that Yao Tieshu came to find her halfway. Yao Tieshu didn't wake her up when she saw Yao Huahua fell asleep, but just picked her up from Pei Baoshan and carried her back home .

After Pei Baoshan bid farewell to Yao Tieshu, he returned to the foot of the mountain alone.

As Yao Huahua guessed, he had to get back his firewood and boar grass, otherwise he would not be able to report to his aunt when he went back.

At this time, the whole village became quiet. The villagers in Shihua Village always work from sunrise to sunset, but now he only hears the mountain wind and the occasional barking of dogs nearby.

It was already dark, and there was no moonlight tonight, and the road under his feet was very blurry. Fortunately, he was used to this road, so he could find it even in the dark.

After a lot of effort, he finally found his large bundle of firewood and a basket of wild boar grass at the foot of the mountain, and he hurriedly carried them on his back and left.

Yes, there are many wild beasts in the mountains, and it is such a dark night, not to mention wolves, even if a wild boar sprang out, it would be difficult to deal with.

It took another half an hour before Pei Baoshan finally carried the bundle of firewood and wild boar grass home.

His house is also a large courtyard, his biological parents live in the tile-roofed house on the east side, and his adoptive parents live in the tile-roofed house on the west side.After his father and mother adopted him, they gave birth to younger brothers and sisters.

Walking into the yard, he heard his mother's voice coaxing his younger siblings from the east: "Big girl, Baoping, come wash your face and go to sleep. I'll see who comes first."

Then came the voices of younger sister Daya and younger brother Baoping: "I, I am the first..."

"You two, just now you were called to come and you didn't come, but now you came as soon as it was said that you would be ranked first and second, you two are really troublesome little things!"

"..."

Pei Baoshan felt a little sad when he heard it. In his impression, he had never been so gently coaxed by an adult. His parents didn't gossip behind his back for the sake of his aunt. They always pretended not to know him, and could only do it when no one was paying attention. Secretly feed him some food, just like being a thief.

Over the years, he has gotten used to it.

At this time, his stomach was already growling with hunger, so he only put down the firewood and wild boar grass, and then walked to the stove at the uncle's mother's side.

The stove was pitch-black, so he went in in the dark, lit another candle, and then uncovered the pot on the stove.

Under the faint candlelight, he saw that there was only a two-finger-thick sweet potato left in the bottom of the pot, and there was not even half a bowl of porridge left for him.

He has to do a lot of work every day, and now it is time to grow his body, how can he bear such a little sweet potato?

However, before he could eat sweet potatoes, the auntie over there scolded again: "Cheap things, I told you to go up the mountain to find some pigweed, and you didn't come back after playing until it was dark, didn't you see? You Blow out the candle quickly, do you know how expensive this candle is? Damn it!"

Of course Pei Baoshan knew that candles were expensive, because he bought them after he went to the town to sell firewood.

But he didn't want to argue about these things, as long as he made a sound, it would attract endless nagging from his aunt.

He took out the sweet potatoes, blew out the candles, and sat at the door of the stove alone to eat the sweet potatoes without even peeling the skin.

The auntie's family had enough to eat, and occasionally there was a little bacon and fish, but she hardly let Pei Baoshan eat meat, and the meat was reserved for his two sons.

After eating sweet potatoes, Pei Baoshan returned to the kitchen in the dark, touched the pot of boiling water, it was cold.

No food was left for him, not even any water for washing his feet.

He had no choice but to go to the well in the yard to draw some well water. The water in late spring was still icy cold. He simply washed his face and feet.

His movements were already light enough, but the tile-roofed house on the west side scolded again: "Cheap things should be soft, don't disturb us to sleep!"
