Because whenever the clothes were washed and sent away, her father would come back with copper coins, and the smile on his face also made her feel happy.
Day after day, she chops firewood and washes clothes. On the road, she often sees children as old as her, chasing butterflies, and frantically digging out bird nests all over the mountains and plains.
Envy flickered in her eyes. When she was exhausted, she would look at the outside world with a beautiful longing for life in her eyes.
Seeing other children eating red candied haws and snow-white rice flower cakes, she swallowed her saliva and picked the sour wild fruits while chopping firewood, tasting them with satisfaction.
Catching butterflies, playing with them, and finally letting them fly, she can have fun all day long.
Seeing an injured rabbit, she will take the initiative to bandage its wound and send it wild vegetables every day. When it is healed and flies away, she will show an innocent smile.
Seeing that other children had snow-white candies, she was sensible and dared not ask for them from her parents, so she went to the mountains to dig out honeycombs by herself.
The orange-yellow syrup inside is so sweet that it can reach her heart and make her smile the brightest in the world.
The smile reflected in the sun is so gorgeous, it looks silly, but it is the greatest happiness in the world.
Although the days are hard, those who don't understand her have fun in the bitterness.
As time went by, the family grew again.
On the day my younger brother was born, my father was ecstatic, and my mother was also bursting with laughter. On that day, this poor family actually put out wine and meat to celebrate.
Even her parents, who were in a good mood, gave her a piece of meat and allowed her to rest for a day.
Alone, she thought she finally had a playmate, and wanted to get close to the cradle many times to see what her younger brother looked like.
However, her parents did not allow her to approach.
She could only stand a few steps away from the cradle, and the little baby on her face smiled innocently at her.
Seeing that smile, she also smiled from the bottom of her heart, still a silly and innocent smile.
Slowly, the younger brother grew up and became a naughty and domineering child, who often pestered her to play.
Suddenly, one day, my father said that my younger brother should be enlightened and go to a private school, and asked her to work for a wealthy family in the county to earn money so that my younger brother could go to a private school.
Without thinking about it, she foolishly agreed.
After packing her simple luggage, she went to the county town alone, and lived in that rich family to work.

Going to someone else's house is even more difficult than being at home.
Not to mention doing all kinds of dirty work every day, but also enduring the bullying of old workers, and the housekeeper beats and scolds at every turn.
In order to make money for her younger brother to go to private school, she endured everything silently.
When she got her wages for the first time, feeling the heavy copper in her hand, she smiled silly.
My father said that after studying, you can take the number one examination and become a high official.
She couldn't help but look forward to the day when her younger brother will be admitted to the top prize and have a great future.
Seeing her smirking smirk, many people laughed and called her an idiot.
She didn't care, and carefully collected the copper coins, silently calculating in her heart how much copper coins were left to save enough money for her younger brother to go to private school.
Going home happily with the copper coins, she only kept [-] copper coins for herself, and gave the rest to the family.
Her parents rarely smiled at her and even praised her, which made her happy for a long time.
There happened to be no salt at home, so her father asked her to buy salt, but he didn't give her a copper coin.
She didn't care, anyway, the thirty copper coins left on her were enough to buy salt.
The naughty younger brother clamored to follow him, but she could only lead him to the county town.
The younger brother held her hand, with a smirk on the corner of his mouth, looking longingly at the small restaurant on the street where the aroma was wafting.
"Sister, I want to eat meat."
Hearing her brother's words, she hesitated for a moment, and dragged him into the restaurant.
Things in the county are very expensive, but my younger brother ordered a plate of sauced meat, and the meat was shared with the younger brother, while I just ate a bowl of white rice.
A plate of sauced meat spent all [-] copper coins on his body, and he had no money to buy meat, so he could only take his brother home with his mouth full of oil.
"Where's the salt?"
Father frowned deeply, his face was ashen, and there was a hint of anger.
She subconsciously looked at her younger brother, but his younger brother shook his head at her with fear on his face, showing pleading eyes.
She could only say cautiously: "I have spent all the money."
clap clap!
There was no accident, and her father picked up a wooden stick and beat her body.
"Go buy salt."
Her father gave her some copper coins, and she could only limp and bruise to buy salt.
After buying salt, I had to cook for my family, and the next day I went back to the big family working alone.
In a blink of an eye, two years later, I finally got all the money for my brother's private school.
