Chapter 6

"Then you have to eat some, or she will be suspicious." I pointed to the direction of Mom's house, my brother immediately understood, picked up the cake and ate a few bites, and I told him about Du Cheng.

The eldest brother nodded: "Okay! This is a good job, and you don't have to have anything to do with him again. I just heard from my mother that you want to go to school? I support you. Don't worry about money."

"No need, I'll figure it out myself."

"Are you coaxing me again? You don't have any money. I sometimes go out to build houses for people and cut wood. I have cash to get it."

I smiled and pushed my elder brother's shoulder: "I'll talk about this later, just leave it alone, eat and go to sleep."

In fact, I have already thought about it just now. In a few days, when the rice is ripe, I am going to go to the next town to harvest rice with those village women who often go out to work.The terrain over there is full of potholes, so it is not suitable to use harvesters, only labor can be hired.After a few days, I can earn 50 yuan even if I talk less, I am confident that I will not do worse than others.

But I don't want to tell my mother about this, because every time I go out to work, there are rumors in the village that those men and women are not serious outside, and my mother won't let her go.

Anyway, if you walk right and go straight, what else can you do to me?Anyway, my reputation probably won't get better because of retiring the engagement, and these words won't hurt me in the slightest.

The eldest brother gave me the bag of red and big wild fruits: "I tasted two on the way, and they were delicious."

I took one out and wiped it on my arm, then put it in my mouth, it was really sour, crunchy and delicious.

I said: "Our mother doesn't like sour food. The second sister-in-law is pregnant now. I'll keep two for her." Although she treats me badly, she is pregnant with our Wang family's child after all, so it's okay to give her something to eat.

"Forget it, there are not many of these in total, you can eat them all, I will pick them tomorrow, just don't let mom know that I am meeting her." The elder brother whispered.

I smiled and put all the fruits away.

At night, I lay on the kang of the hut by myself, staring at the old mottled roof in a daze. This is the first day of my rebirth, but I have experienced many things. I think about the relationship between Tiantian and Du Cheng. Things, thinking about future plans, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

My hands have been on the kang mat, touching the few fruits, if I want to go out to harvest rice.Wearable and durable clothes are needed. I remember that Du Cheng once gave me a set of sportswear.

You need a set of working gloves, and you need to prepare toiletries. There is no soap at home, but homemade soap, which is black and smells bad. The towels are torn and dirty, and the teeth of the wooden comb are all off. It's running out, and my mother won't buy it for me, how can I get some money?

I looked at the red fruit under the moonlight, and sat up suddenly, yes!Those wild fruits are ripe, find a chance to go to the woods, harvest some, and sell them in the city, the city people should like to eat these things.

This is autumn, and there are plenty of money-making things in the mountains. I have made up my mind, so I can rest easy and fall asleep soon.

Early the next morning, my mother got up early, fed all the chickens and ducks behind, and was sweeping the yard.

My mother and I greeted each other and started preparing pig food. We cut all the bad, small, and scarred sweet potatoes into pieces and cooked them, mashed them into a paste, added pot water, and mixed well. , poured directly into the tank.

The three big pigs rushed out looking for the smell, and ate without raising their heads. After feeding the pigs, I ran to the yard to wash my face.

Mom said: "I have to peel off all the corn today, or I will grow old."

I didn't make a sound, and glanced at the next door: "Every day is the same as Jiao Niangniang, when can I watch them work for a day?"

"Don't compare yourself to your second brother. He was injured. Besides, he is the heir to our Wang family. In the future, they will give birth to grandsons for me. I want to treat them better. You don't understand."

Mom's posture, because my second brother is a handlebar, so he is naturally nobler than me, so there is no need to work!
I can only sneer in my heart, it's a pity that she has the wrong idea, because the second brother and the second sister-in-law have given birth to four girls in their lifetime, all of them are girls, because of this incident, the house is disturbed, but I will not say this, save the future After giving birth to a daughter, my mother would say that my mouth cursed it.

At this time, the eldest brother also got up, buttoned up his clothes and went out.

"Mom, are you up?"

Mom ignored him, and went to water the ground in the small courtyard in the backyard.

I said: "I guess I suspect that you went to find Cailian last night, anyway, you don't want to compromise."

The eldest brother smiled, he was lighting the fire while I was cooking, heated up yesterday's pancakes, and patted a cold cucumber.I cut potatoes into shreds and cooked a potato soup with a little coriander in it, which was very delicious.

The table was set down and the three of us started eating.

I suddenly looked at my mother and said, "My elder brother goes to the ground every day, and the food is not as good as that of the second elder brother. You don't even keep any of those dough pancakes for your elder brother?"

The eldest brother laughed hurriedly: "It doesn't matter what you eat, it doesn't matter."

Mom gritted her teeth with hatred, and gently pinched my waist.

I shouted exaggeratedly: "Ah! Why are you pinching me? Am I wrong? I eat and sleep every day, and do nothing. When it comes to distributing food and money, how can I be more active than anyone else! "

I yelled at their house on purpose, but my second elder brother and second sister-in-law were calm and didn't move at all.

Mom said: "You don't need to talk nonsense. Whenever your elder brother breaks up with that evil spirit, I will make bread for him."

The eldest brother just bowed his head and ate quickly without speaking.

Because I was thinking about those fruits, after dinner, I asked my mother to do the dishes, and I took my elder brother out early.I begged him to accompany me to the woods. The road here is not easy to walk, and it is easy to get lost if you walk by yourself.

We walked for more than half an hour before entering the fruit forest. When we looked up, the fruits were all ripe and red hanging on the branches.My elder brother and I harvested dozens of catties of fruit, packed them in washed cloth bags and put them in a nearby hole. My elder brother asked me why I got so much fruit?

"I'm going to sell it, I want some money."

The eldest brother said: "Sell like this, when will you make money?"

I smiled and grabbed my elder brother's arm: "This is a secret, don't worry about it." I looked down and saw a pile of yellow mushrooms under a nearby big tree, and hurried over to pick them up, my elder brother helped me He picked another piece of real mushroom, and he told me that this one is more valuable.

"Okay! You help me pick more. Just don't let mom know." I grabbed a lot of mushrooms, and the speed was very fast.

"Qiaoer, why do I feel that you seem to be different from before." The eldest brother said with a smile.

"I've always been me. By the way, brother, you have to do me a favor. You can find an excuse for me to go to the city this afternoon. Don't let mom find out. Otherwise, she will still take the money away."

The eldest brother nodded: "Don't worry, it's not easy?"

We picked another big bag of mushrooms and hid them together.

After tidying up these things, I made a detour to my own land. My mother never came, and most likely she went to help my second brother's house with cooking and work.

People around here are all planting corn, and now there are endless corns, yellow and orange corns are hanging on the poles, and the yellow corn leaves are drooping down. Although it looks ugly, this is the most happy time for farmers.

The eldest brother first went to Lin Cailian's house next to him and worked for a long time, throwing those ripe corns on a small piece of land in the middle.

While I was working, I kept watch for him.

After working for a while, I watched my mother approaching from a distance, and hurriedly shouted: "Mom is here! Come back quickly!"

The elder brother hastily agreed, and hurried back to his own land.

Mom's face was full of anger, and she walked over and said, "I saw Sun E just now, bragging to some neighbors there, saying that she found a daughter-in-law in the city, and went to work in the city after getting married, and said It's going to be a three-day banquet. I will never marry a rural wife, I really want to tear her mouth off!"

The eldest brother said: "You are also true, what good is such a villain, it is Qiaoer's luck not to marry him, and it is worthy of your anger."
