Chapter 111
I couldn't pick up a daughter-in-law for nothing, so I had to get on my own ox cart to help pull things.

How can the tone in Wang's heart be smooth.

He grabbed Tian Dazhuang's arm and pinched it fiercely.

"You silly boy, eat salty radishes and don't worry about them. Our old scalper is used to plow the fields, not to pull things for others. Go, go home with my mother, and don't meddle in other people's business."

"Mother, Xiaosi is my best brother, I help Xiaosi, how can I be called nosy."

"You silly boy, you treat others as a brother, but others don't treat you as a brother. If they treat you as a brother, how could it mess up your marriage? Wake up."

Yan Xiaosi used too much mental strength, her body was a bit overwhelmed at the moment, and the mother and son were arguing in front of her, which gave her a headache.

"Brother Zhuang, you can go back with your mother, just this little thing, you can't use your ox cart."

"Did you hear that, people say that we can't use our ox cart, so just save it, you silly boy."

Tian Dazhuang was dragged away by Wang Shisheng.

As soon as the Tian family left, Yan Xiaosi lowered his eyes and stared at the tattered belongings piled up on the ground, his brows twitched with a headache.

"Mom, let's throw away some unnecessary things, pick some important things and take them to the cave. The wooden table and stools for eating are old and heavy, so we don't want them."

The wooden tables and stools that I usually use for eating are already dilapidated. I bumped my back up the mountain all the way, and I'm afraid they fell apart before I reached the cave.

Zhong was very reluctant.

Although these belongings are dilapidated, after using them for so many years, she already has feelings for them.

"Xiao Si, the table and stools in our house are a bit worn out, but we lost this table and these few stools. What should we do when we eat in the future? We can't let you sisters sit on the ground to eat, right?"

Yan Xiaosi knew that she was reluctant to part with these old furniture, but it would be a waste of effort to carry these rickety old furniture up the mountain.

"Mother, there are so many woods on Siguniang Mountain, so you don't have to worry about having no stools for eating. When we get to the cave and settle down, we'll cut a bigger tree and chop some wooden stakes to make stools. As for the dining table, Just find a smooth and flat stone on the mountain and bring it into the cave to use as a table. You see, the table and the stools in our house are shabby and shaky. Carry these shabby furniture up the mountain, I’m afraid Before we got to the cave, these things fell apart."

After hearing Yan Xiaosi's words, Zhong reached out and shook the broken wooden table.

The broken wooden table made a crisp sound, and with a little more force, the broken wooden table would fall apart immediately.

Things are old, even if they are carefully moved up the mountain, it won't take long.

"Okay, mother listens to you."

Throwing away the tables, chairs, benches and some unusable wooden basins, the property of the third room of the Yan family is only simple bedding, clothes, pots and pans, baskets, sickles and hoes.

Zhong rolled up a few thin quilts and some clothes, stuffed them into the pannier, and asked Yan Shuyun to carry them.

She, Yan Shuqin and Yan Shuxue are responsible for the rest of the property.

Mrs. Zhong held a blackened iron pot in her right hand, and two wooden basins in her left hand. There was also a basket hanging behind her back, which contained unfinished oil, salt, rice, vegetables, and meat.

With a heavy load on her body, she turned her head and asked Yan Xiaosi with difficulty: "Xiao Si, are you feeling better? Can you walk up the mountain by yourself? If not, let your eldest sister put down the things in her hand and help you up the mountain first."

Yan Shuqin also had a pannier hanging on her back. Inside the pannier were a hoe and four sickles for chopping firewood. These five items were the most valuable possessions in the third room of Yan's family. baby.

Yan Xiaosi smiled mischievously, and said: "Mother, you still felt sorry for that broken table and those broken stools just now, you let the eldest sister leave the hoe and sickle and help me up the mountain first, so you won't be afraid that others will destroy our house. Can the hoe and sickle go along with you?"

"You child, mother values ​​the sickles and hoes at home, but mother values ​​your sisters even more."

In the past few years, I have been chopping firewood to make a living, thanks to the few useful sickles at home.

Yan Xiaosi's heart warmed up.

"Mother, don't worry, I'm in good health, and I don't need elder sister's help."

After excessive use of mental power, there will only be a momentary state of weakness. She has rested for a while, and her body and spirit have recovered. Although she is still a little weak, there is no problem climbing up Siguniang Mountain and walking to the cave.

"It's just that I can't help you carry some things."

"Our family doesn't have many things. It's enough for me, mother, second sister and third sister to carry them. You little one, just take care of yourself."

little guy!
Yan Shuqin's pet name for herself made the corner of Yan Xiaosi's mouth twitch speechlessly.

She is not a little girl, the combined age of the two lifetimes, she can catch up with Zhong Shi.

However, she quite liked Yan Shuqin calling herself a little girl, a simple name that contained endless love.

Yan Shuxue used a basket to carry the cutting board, kitchen knife, spatula, pot lid, wooden bowls and chopsticks for eating, which were not very heavy.

After tidying up, the family of five walked towards Siguniang Mountain in the warm sunshine.

In the morning, when the autumn dew was still dry, the mountain road was a little slippery, and they were carrying heavy loads. It was very difficult for the family of five to walk up the mountain.

The cave that Yan Xiaosi discovered was on the other side of Daguniang Peak.

The family of five walked for nearly an hour, and it was almost noon before arriving at the destination.

Yan Xiaosi was sweating profusely as he walked, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, pointed to a cluster of dry bushes in front of him: "Mother, eldest sister, second sister, third sister, the cave we are looking for is right ahead."

She and Tian Dazhuang discovered this cave by accident. The cave is relatively wide, dry and relatively clean. Usually, when they go up the mountain to collect herbs, when they are tired from walking, they will rest in this cave, in order to prevent other hunters or wild animals from discovering the cave here. , she specially blocked the hole with a bunch of branches.

After telling Zhong and them, she quickened her pace, walked to the entrance of the cave, and lifted the withered branches with her hands.

As soon as those dry branches were lifted, a burst of warm and dry heat rushed towards the face.

The hot air coming out of the cave made Yan Xiaosi feel very surprised and happy.

A few days ago, she went up the mountain to gather herbs and rested in the cave, which was not yet warm.

Like cave dwellings, the cave is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is already late autumn, and autumn dew will appear sooner or later. This should be the reason why the temperature in the cave has risen.

Living in this cave may be more comfortable than living in the dilapidated grass temple at the end of Shaoyao Village at the foot of the mountain. At night, covered with hard and thin bedding, you may not feel cold all over your body, making it difficult to sleep.
