Xu Xiaoyao knew nothing about the discussions of passers-by.

She pushed her bicycle slowly up the hill.

There were many thorns and it was difficult to walk on, so she cleared a path.

stop-and-go.

Finally arrived.

She put the bicycle away and took out the snakeskin bag: "There are about ten of them. I don't know if they are enough."

"It should be about the same." Xu Jiajia put the dug yam into a snakeskin bag, and continued digging after packing it.

Xu Jiajia gave Hu Daya three snakeskin bags: "If there's less, come to me for more."

Hu Daya looked grateful: "Sister Jiajia, you are so nice!"

Xu Jiajia curled her lips. She was not so nice to everyone, but she was willing to make friends with the Hu sisters because they were not as annoying as Hu Yitao and Old Lady Hu.

The five men dug for four hours.

Only then were all the yams dug out.

Among five people.

Xu Jiajia dug the least.

The other four dug about the same amount.

It belongs to whoever dug it.

But the Hu sisters have to take care of Xu Jiajia, a weakling, so they have to count according to the number of people.

According to the number of people.

Xu Jiajia was the only one who made money because she dug the least.

"That's not good. You've dug so much, and if we divide it by number, you'll be at a disadvantage."

Hu Daya knew in her heart that if Xu Jiajia hadn't led the way, they would definitely not be able to find such a good thing: "Sister Jiajia, it's you who are at a disadvantage, not us!"

After some debate, Xu Jiajia finally agreed to divide the yams according to the number of people.

There are ten snakeskin bags in total.

Three bags per car.

Several people worked together to secure the snakeskin bag with a rope.

The way down the mountain is difficult.

He Hua pushed the car from the front and Hu Daya pulled it from the back, so that the car would not lose control and rush forward.

She works in the fields all year round and is very strong, so it is safe for her to pull from behind.

The other three stayed on the mountain.

Xu Jiajia drank some water, took a rest for a while, and asked Xu Xiaoyao and Hu Erya to look after the yams while she continued to search for treasure in the mountains.

Xu Xiaoyao was afraid that she would encounter wild animals, so she held her back and said, "It's very dangerous in there, don't go."

Xu Jiajia knew that Xu Xiaoyao cared about her, so she smiled and said, "I won't go into the mountains, I'll just walk around nearby."

Xu Xiaoyao wanted to go with them, but when she thought about the groups of people she saw when she entered the mountain, she was afraid that they would bully Hu Erya: "Is it not okay if I don't go?"

Xu Jiajia shook her head: "No."

Xu Xiaoyao: “…”

"You can only go for an hour."

Xu Xiaoyao couldn't persuade Xu Jiajia, so she could only ask for the second best.

Xu Jiajia nodded: "Okay——"

Xu Jiajia continued to walk inside, carrying a backpack and a military water bottle.

It hasn't rained these days.

There are no mushrooms on the mountain.

But as she went further in, she dug up a lot of medicinal herbs and also shot three pheasants and two rabbits.

Go a little further inside.

Xu Jiajia started to start the scanner.

After a while, three ginsengs were dug out.

One is a hundred years old, and two are fifty years old.

Xu Jiajia plans to keep the 100-year-old one for Old Mrs. Xu, and she can sell it if the price is too low.

After digging ginseng.

Xu Jiajia continued to look for treasure.

while walking.

Suddenly I heard crying coming from inside.

She walked towards the sound.

From afar, I saw a child wrapped in a red swaddling cloth. He had fair skin, a red mouth, and eyes that were swollen and red from crying.

She thought it was a girl.

Open it and take a look.

Then I realized I guessed wrong.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the child in her arms. Nowadays, those abandoned are usually girls, rarely boys. In the case of this little guy, it may be that something happened in the family, or the child may have been stolen by the enemy.

two cases.

Xu Jiajia prefers the latter.

If something unexpected happened at home, it would definitely not be left in the deep mountains and forests.

After all, it is dangerous in the mountains. If you are not careful, the wild beasts will eat you till there is nothing left.

Seeing such a vibrant life, Xu Jiajia would definitely not ignore it. She carried the child out of the mountains.

Xu Xiaoyao looked at the child in her arms and was completely confused: "Is this yours? When did you get pregnant? Why doesn't it look like you're pregnant at all?"

Xu Jiajia's forehead was covered with black lines. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's not mine. I picked it up."

"What? Picked up? Who the hell would throw such a young child into the mountains? What if he was eaten by wild animals? Damn it, you favor sons over daughters again. As the old saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. I think those parents who favor sons over daughters are worse than animals!"

Because Xu Xiaoyao's original family also favors boys over girls, she can particularly resonate with this.

Xu Jiajia glanced at the little guy who was sleeping soundly and said slowly: "It's a boy."

Xu Xiaoyao, who was cursing, was stunned: "What? A boy? Is he physically defective?"

This was Xu Xiaoyao’s first reaction.

After all, these days, very few people abandon boys.

Xu Jiajia gave the child a simple checkup and found that his hands and feet were normal. As for the rest, she found out at the hospital: "My sixth sense as a woman tells me that there is nothing wrong with the little guy."

He Hua pushed the cart into the mountain and saw Xu Jiajia holding a child in her arms. She had the same expression as Xu Xiaoyao and asked exactly the same questions: "Is this yours? When did you get pregnant? How come you don't look pregnant at all?

No.

Why did you give birth in the mountains?

Grandma Xu knew you were pregnant, but she still let you go up the mountain? Come on, come on, get in the car, I'll take you back."

They are good sisters indeed! They say exactly the same thing.

Xu Jiajia couldn't help but twitch her lips: "No matter how hard it is to not show that I'm pregnant, it's impossible not to see it at all. This child is not mine, I picked him up."

"What? You picked it up? Where did you pick it up?"

"I picked it up in the mountains."

After hearing this, He Hua started to curse, "Who is so cruel as to release a child in the mountains? Doesn't he know that the mountains are very dangerous?

Not to mention wild beasts, there are many poisonous insects with venomous tongues."

Xu Jiajia expressed her guess: "I suspect that the mortal enemy of the little guy's parents stole the child and threw him into the mountains, or it could be an enemy spy.

After all, the child has such good skin and is not thin.

If his parents had treated him badly, he wouldn't have so much fat on his face."

Xu Xiaoyao and Hehua thought it made sense, and they looked at the children with a little more pity.

"The child is innocent, so innocent."

Three bags at a time.

There are ten bags in total.

It took four trips to complete the transportation.

There are ten bags of yam, and each person gets two bags.

Lotus and Xu Xiaoyao’s belongings are also kept at Xu’s house, and they are planned to be sold together with Xu Jiajia’s.

Hu Daya thought for a while and took out ten kilograms of yam. She planned to sell the rest together with Xu Jiajia's.

When He Hua made the second trip, she told Old Mrs. Xu about Xu Jiajia picking up the child.

When she saw the fair and clean little guy, she fell in love with him at first sight: "Jia Jia, I will take him to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow to see if there is anything wrong with his body."

Xu Jiajia also had a plan: "Okay."

When Xu Jianguo came home from get off work, he saw a new baby at home and was confused: "Whose child is it? Is it another adopted child?"

Old Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes and said, "No, Jia Jia picked up the child. Jia Jia will put an ad in the newspaper tomorrow to see if she can find the child's parents. If she can't find them, we will have to raise the child."

Xu Jianguo didn’t want to raise someone else’s child at all: “Mom, we can’t raise it.

You think.

Jiajia will have her own child soon. If you raise this child, who will take care of Jiajia's child in the future?"

This question really stumped Old Lady Xu: "Yes, Jiajia, if you can't find the child's parents, what are you going to do with the child?"

Xu Jiajia was also confused by the question: "I don't know, let's just wait and see!"

Saw children abandoned in the mountains.

She can't just ignore it.

……

When Hui Niang learned that Hu Daya and her sister had dug up a lot of yams, she was overjoyed: "You two are really lucky. You dug up so many good things on your first trip up the mountain with the army."

Hu Daya didn't dare to take credit: "Sister Jiajia found the yam, and we got a great deal. Sister Jiajia even gave us a pheasant.

Mom, let’s stew chicken and yam today. Sister Jia Jia said it’s very nutritious.”

After joining the army, Hui Niang gained some experience. She no longer thought that studying was useless like she did in her hometown, and she was no longer as rigid in her work as before: "Eat. You girls are too thin. You need to eat more.

Daya, I heard from the people in the staff compound that Xu Jiajia next door is a high school student. She entered the Public Security Bureau on her own ability. Her two fellow villagers also entered the machinery factory through exams. They are so outstanding, you should hang out with them more.

However, we cannot take advantage of others.”

Hu Daya likes to hang out with educated people: "Well, Sister Jia Jia is a very nice person, unlike those educated youth in my hometown who think they are educated people in the city and look down on us from the countryside.

Sister Jia Jia doesn’t know how to do something. If I ask her something I don’t understand, she will answer me patiently. I like her very much.”

Hui Niang touched Hu Daya's head and said, "I am sorry for you. If I had some ability, you wouldn't be illiterate."

Hu Erya knew that her mother had tried her best. She remembered that her mother secretly saved one dollar to pay for her sister's tuition. When her grandmother, the old hag, found out, she beat her mother half to death and said that she was being slutty and was imitating the city people to send their children to school...

Since then, her mother has never touched money.

"Mom, it has nothing to do with you. It's Dad who is not a good person. If he had cared more about the family, the five of us wouldn't be illiterate."

In fact, Hu Erya hated Hu Guang very much, but Hui Niang told her that she should not hate him because hating someone was too tiring.

"Da Ya, Er Ya, do you still want to study?"

The two sisters' eyes lit up and they said in unison, "Can we still read?"

Daya is already sixteen years old, and she can start dating after waiting for two more years.

If you send someone to first grade at this age, people will definitely laugh at you.

"As long as you want to learn, it's never too late, but you have to be able to withstand the rumors and ridicule from others."

Hu Daya was not worried about these things, but was afraid that Hu Guang would not agree: "Will Dad agree? If he doesn't give us money, we can't afford the tuition?"

Just as Hu Daya said, when Hu Guang learned that Hu Daya wanted to go to school, he disagreed 100% of the time: "It's embarrassing for someone who is about to find a partner to go to school!"

Hu Erya was a straightforward person, she said whatever she wanted to say: "It's shameful for you, you earn only a hundred yuan a month, but you can't even afford to send your daughter to school. If others knew that your sister never went to school, they would definitely say that you, as a father, are irresponsible and incompetent."

Hu Guang was so angry that he wanted to slap Hu Erya. Not only was she not afraid, she also stretched out her face for Hu Guang to hit her: "Hit me, hit me. As long as you are not afraid of your comrades saying you hit a child, hit me as hard as you can. It would be best if you can kill me with one slap!"

Hu Erya finally got the chance and took it.
