Hard work

Chapter 9 Warning【One more】

Sending smoked squirrels to Fu Gui's house eliminates all these twists and turns.

But there are more troubles.

Uncle Fugui lives next door, and has always known the conditions of Changhua's house, so he would never accept Squirrel no matter what.Aunt Lin accepted the squirrel only after knowing that Lan Hua'er was stammering with red eyes that she wanted to return the pickles.

When I turned around, I took a lot of cabbage.

Only Lan Hua'er knew that the small eye sockets were reddened.

She also shouldn't speak sharply like lighting firecrackers, at least she should speak smoothly.

After returning to the house, she made up her mind to practice speaking well, and by the way, let Goudan learn to speak more.

At Goudan's age, he will be able to enter the school for enlightenment in two years, but now he can't even speak well.

Lan Huaer did not give gifts to other families.

She didn't know those people well, and she couldn't tell which one helped more.

And what she said to the outside world was: when I went to the back mountain to collect firewood, I ran into a nest of hibernating squirrels. The big ones were smoked as gifts, and the small ones were killed and fed to the dogs to satisfy their hunger.

She wasn't stingy, she just thought it would be more cost-effective to talk like this.

Turning around, he began to despise himself again, and lied because of a few squirrels with only shredded meat, it was really embarrassing.

The problem of meat and vegetables has been solved for the time being, and she still plans to go up the mountain a few times in the future when the village leaders are busy, saying that it was a good time last time, and now she still wants to try her luck .

But the question of the staple food still made Lanhua scratch her head.

According to her opinion, even if it is brown rice mixed with chaff, it is good to eat dry rice even if it is only one meal a day.

She no longer misses the white rice that she could eat every meal.

But judging from the food stored at home now, if she wants to eat dry meals, she and Goudan will be hungry in less than a month.

Even eating dry rice once a month, she can't afford it now.

She has to find a way to make money.

But this money is not easy to earn, nor can it be saved.

Gai spent four months working hard outside, and the money he earned was only enough for some porridge and water at home.I didn't produce anything myself, and it really didn't work.

Lan Hua'er carefully recalled the time-travel novels she read in her previous life, and soon sighed again.

Those girls either traveled with space or strange treasures, with strange talents; or they lived close to the town and could go outside to do a small business or something.

What about her?

It takes a day and a half to travel from Aozi Village to the nearest town.It is closer to the nearby village and takes half a day.She likes to do business.

Besides, she didn't have anything she could take out.

She frowned and became worried.

Seeing her frowning, Goudan couldn't help crawling to her side, calling "Sister" and "Sister".

Only then did Lan Huaer regain her senses, and absent-mindedly began to teach Goudan how to speak.While teaching, he also practiced speaking.

People in the village occasionally need help with some happy events.Or the work of washing, brushing and sewing can earn a little bit of money.

But for a little girl like her, it is unlikely that anyone would be willing to entrust her with the work.

Lan Hua'er sat in the room and almost turned her head from worry.

Goudan was very happy.

Since his sister fell into the water, he has never been hungry again.In addition to rice porridge, there are delicious dishes, so I am very happy.

No matter how worried Lan Huaer is, she still has to live her life tight.

She went to the back mountain a few times, caught squirrels and picked up some hard fruits.

Barely able to sustain the day.

People in the village gradually knew that Lan Hua'er was lucky enough to pick up a squirrel on the mountain, but to her surprise, not many people took this matter to heart.

Many people said behind their backs that this orphan girl is really pitiful. She even risked her life just to have enough food. If she goes up the mountain in winter, if she encounters bandits, she will risk her life.

Poor kid.

There were many people talking about it, but none of them followed into the mountain.

Lan Huaer observed for a long time and came to a conclusion:
The people in this village are very ignorant.

Simple and kind, but ignorant.It is said that there are gold men and bandits outside the mountain, so I don't even have the courage to try to go in.They eat enough and wear warm clothes, so they don't even think about making breakthroughs.

This is undoubtedly good news for Lanhuaer, but also bad news.

The good news is that she no longer has to worry about someone going to the back mountain to grab food with her;

The bad news is that she has become a young bird, and suddenly everyone in the village began to notice that there is such a little girl named Lanhuaer, who is so brave enough to go to the back mountain to shave snow alone in winter Wozi.

Even the village head stood at the door of Lan Huaer's house for a long time, persuading her:
"Lan Huaer, I know that your family is in trouble. But the back mountain is the territory of the bandit lord Hong Dawang, so you can go there casually. Gaihua is working outside. If you have something, how can I explain to Gaihua .”

Lan Huaer nodded timidly, but did not speak.

She didn't know what to say.

But in everyone's mind, Lan Hua'er was such a stupid little girl, the village chief didn't want to hear what she had to say, so he nodded beside him:

"It's good to know, it's good to know. If there are difficulties at home, just come to me and talk about it. Don't be too dizzy."

Those people dare not approach the back mountain, and Lan Huaer is willing to go in in the cold winter, just to look for food.

She heard a lot of discussions in the village, and gradually learned about the things in the village, so she felt that the people in Aozi Village were really interesting.

When the snow melts in spring, people will go to the shallow mountains to collect firewood.

The younger ones will go to the pigweed, but they don't go deep.

"I don't go into the mountains."

Lan Hua'er thought for a while, and finally explained seriously:
"Walking around the mountain pass, chopping wild vegetable roots."

These days, she has been deliberately making herself talk more, eating much more abundantly than her body used to, and even speaking more smoothly.

She could see that the village chief really cared about her, and he didn't just come to the door to say something perfunctory out of responsibility.

The village chief Xu couldn't help sighing when he thought of her family's situation:
"There are mountain goods in the mountains. Who doesn't know that there were hunters in the village many years ago. But then the King of the Mountain came to the mountains, and the town posted a report, and some officials came to the village to warn them. I posted it several times. You have a hard-working family and are sensible, so I’m afraid that if you go farther and farther, even if you don’t meet the king of the mountain, you’ll be lost in the mountains and you’ll meet a blind man..."

It would be unlucky to speak further, the village chief shook his head and did not continue.

Orchid laughed:

"I'm not going into the mountains."

How dare she.

Goudan is still at home waiting for her to feed.That's really a little kid who can't live without her.

The village head got what she said, and left with a worried look on his face.
