"Grandma, grandma." Before entering the yard, I heard several children shouting.

Su Qinghe just woke up and was played on the straw mat by her grandma.

Hearing the excited voices of several brothers, I was a little curious as to what happened, so I stretched my little head out.

Mother Su thought it was funny to see her granddaughter stretching her neck so long. She loved to watch the fun at such a young age.

"Grandma, let's go and see what brother and the others are doing." Mother Su picked up Su Qinghe and walked into the yard.

Before waiting for the door, I heard another "plop, plop, plop" sound.

Then several children started yelling, and one of them seemed to have fallen.

Hearing Su's mother's heart beat faster, her pace could not help but quicken.

"What happened?" Weren't you happy just now?

Unexpectedly, I was dumbfounded as soon as I walked outside the door.

Su Qinghe was also stunned by the scene in front of her. Her eyes were wide open and her little hands were tightly holding her grandma's clothes and she forgot to let go.

"Ah." Did he roll around on the ground?

A few people who were clean when they went out were covered in dirt this time. Everything exposed on their clothes, faces, and hands seemed to be covered with a layer of dirt. Even their hair was not spared, and you could still see a lot of it. Weed.

"A fight with someone?" Su's mother subconsciously thought.

Because of the two daughters-in-law, the children at home can now play together with the children in the village.

Although I used to run outside all day long, I would also stay at home and play, but since I made a lot of friends, they run out every day and don't come home until meal time.

I came back so early today and looked like a tabby cat. It was hard not to make people wonder if I was causing trouble.

The children didn't know what grandma was thinking, and they didn't care whether they were dirty or not. They grinned and showed off to grandma.

"Grandma, look." The little finger pointed to the side.

Mother Su followed the direction they pointed and saw the fourth baby lying on the ground, something seemed to be moving in her arms.

"Chuck, lick." It will also shout.

"This, what is this?"

"Chicken, grandma, we have caught a chicken." Siwa locked the chicken under her tightly, her little face was so excited, if she wasn't afraid that the chicken would run away, she would have jumped up and made signs.

Mother Su didn't react immediately, "You caught someone else's chicken?"

I really can't blame her. The chicken is just like several children, its original appearance is completely unrecognizable, and its feathers are covered in a layer of soil.

"Pheasant, we caught it on the mountain."

With great difficulty, several people and children worked together to tie the chicken with a rope and tied it to a pole next to the manhole cover.

Su Qinghe sat on the straw mat and looked at the pheasant that had lost its strength curiously. This was the first time she saw a live pheasant.

I heard that pheasants can fly. How could they still be caught? They were caught by a few brats.

The chicken had been fighting with these little brats for so long, but it had lost all strength. It lay on the ground with its eyes closed, as if it had accepted its fate.

"Hey, call grandma if you need anything."

Su Qinghe nodded without looking back, indicating that he understood.

Mother Su helped several children carry water to take a bath, and there was probably a layer of mud under the bathtub after the bath.

On the other hand, a few children didn't care at all and were extremely happy. They were still thinking about catching chickens tomorrow.

"After washing, rinse the bath with water, then pour this bucket of water in, and wash again." Mother Su was worried, fearing that they wouldn't be able to wash them thoroughly.

"Grandpa said there will be a chicken coop near where the chickens are caught, and there will be eggs in it. Let's go find the eggs tomorrow." Erwa suggested.

Others quickly echoed, "Get the basket."

It wasn't even tomorrow yet, but they had already figured out what to do when they got the eggs.

"Want some scrambled eggs."

"Egg custard."

“The egg stew is delicious.”

Mother Su almost laughed out loud when she heard them announcing the names of the dishes outside. She must be greedy.

After taking a bath, the four children consciously took their clothes and held a wash basin in each of their arms. The basin was filled with the clothes they had just changed out of.

As he passed his sister, Sanwa suddenly thought of something, put down the wash basin, squatted on the ground and rummaged through his pockets.

"It's broken." Sanwa took out the crushed raspberry from his pocket.

He remembered that his sister liked to eat, and they had already picked almost all the raspberries at the foot of the mountain. It took him a long time to find these today.

But I forgot about it when I caught the chickens, and now they are all crushed.

His hands were stained with juice, his eyes became pale, and his face was filled with disappointment.

"Yeah." Su Qinghe was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this brother would still remember her when he was playing outside.

"Ah." Su Qinghe raised her hand with difficulty and patted his arm to comfort him.

It's okay, don't be sad, you can drink chicken soup today.

"What's wrong with Sanwa?" Mother Su went to get them laundry soap. When she came out, she saw Sanwa with a drooped face, and her sister was trying hard to pat him next to her.

"Grandma, it's broken." Sanwa showed her the crushed raspberry in his hand.

Thinking it was something big, Su's mother was worried that their brother-sister relationship wouldn't be good at first, but she didn't expect Sanwa to be particularly responsible as an older brother.

Whenever there is something delicious, the first person I think of is my sister, and I want to leave everything delicious to my sister.

"Didn't Sanwa catch chickens with his brother and sister? My sister will be able to drink chicken soup by then."

After hearing that her sister could drink chicken soup, Sanwa cheered up again and said, "Give my sister the chicken soup too."

"Okay, my sister has it, and so does the third baby. Then we will all drink together." Mother Su coaxed him.

Mother Su didn't dare to handle the chickens. Every time they were killed at home, Su's father or Su Jianjun brothers would kill them, and the women in the family would be responsible for cooking them.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, people who were working in the village were finishing their work and going home to cook.

Wang Xiujuan and her sister-in-law arrived home first. As soon as they entered the door, they saw several children sitting on a small stool with a wash basin in front of them.

I was rubbing my clothes "humming hummingly". Fortunately it was summer and I was wearing short-sleeved shorts. The ground around me was soaked.

Before they could ask, the children rushed to say that they had caught a chicken.

"so smart."

These pheasants are different from domestic chickens. They can run much faster. Some of the ferocious ones can even peck people. How can they be caught by just four of them?

Wang Xiujuan couldn't believe it, but when she saw the tied chicken on the side, it was wilting from being tortured and lying listlessly on the ground.

"This, this is true." Xu Mei was also shocked, how exhausted these children were.

After watching the chicken, Wang Xiujuan looked at the children again, "Are you hurt?"

"No." It was just a little bruised, but they were men, so this little injury was nothing.

When the fourth baby was taking a bath, the water stained the scratched skin, and tears almost flowed out.

He was coaxed by the two elders like this, and the tears that were about to fall were held back.

Xu Mei saw that her youngest son was about to speak, but she didn't know what came to mind and held it back.

"Fourth baby, did you fall?" The two older ones have thick skin and don't tell their family if they fall. They also often coax the two younger ones and don't tell them if they get injured.
