Chen Qidong looked curiously at his father holding half a bowl of rice in his hand, it was amazing, when did father come back from buying rice, rice can only be eaten by rich households and government officials in the city, and many people in the village have never eaten it in their entire lives However, they are all black noodles, and only occasionally eat white noodles.

"Father, I'll light the fire."

"Okay, I just helped dad watch the fire." Xiaoxiao quickly washed the pot, scooped two scoops of water into the pot, washed the rice and put it in the pot.Putting the lid on the pot, Chen Qidong thought that his brothers and sisters and himself would have rice porridge to drink, his brows and eyes were curved, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.Rice porridge should be delicious after thinking about it.

Xiaoxiao went into the room where she lived and took out a small jar of pickles, which she made before.Put it on the dining table, tell the children in the family not to go out, let the boss watch the fire, and go out with an empty bucket to fetch water. There is only a deep well in the village, so where does the water go?You can also go to the river to fetch water, but it is late now, so you should go to the well to fetch water.

One load, two loads, three loads, and four loads. There are two large water tanks in the house. The original owner loves his wife and bought them specially. Every morning, the two tanks are filled with water. There is no need to worry about the water in the house for a day, and the wife does not have to go out to carry water by herself. .

Thinking about letting the children take a good bath and hair after dinner tonight, I have collected a lot of odorless chairs that can be used for washing hair and bathing.There are also acacias for washing clothes.Try to wash the four children clean.He can't see messy kids.

Seeing that the porridge in the pot was ready, Xiaoxiao asked Qidong to sit down with his younger brothers and sisters first, and shared a bowl for each of them, and put some pickles in a small plate, "Okay, we can eat now."

He picked up Qixi who was beside him, sat on his lap, and slowly fed him a spoonful of porridge, and occasionally a little pickle. After finishing a bowl of porridge, the little guy patted his stomach, "Father, little four is full. Yes, it's delicious."

"I like to eat, shall we eat tomorrow?"

"it is good!"

The three older children were all at a loss when they saw their father suddenly getting better. "Qidong, you are the boss, father has entrusted you with a task."

"Father, what mission? I don't steal, shame on me."

Chen Qidong thought that his own father didn't have money to buy wine and wanted him to steal things!You can't be a thief even if you kill him. He obviously forgot that the white rice porridge he was eating was not much cheaper than wine.

"Where did the brat go? Daddy doesn't want to steal things. Daddy wants to tell you that we can't go out no matter what we eat in the future, and you can't tell your younger brothers and sisters. Can you do it?" ?”

"Yes, it can be done. But can our family eat rice porridge at intervals?"

"Yes, if you are obedient, you can, if you are not obedient, you can say something else."

"Yes." The three older children quickly agreed, of course they were obedient, they were obedient when father was drinking and beating people every day, and now they are only more obedient.

After working for an hour, I finally washed all four children and sent them to the kang in the next room for nothing. I did the cleaning in the room by myself, tidying up every corner and corner, spotless.

Lying on the brand-new kang, Xiaoxiao finally finished her night's work.

At dawn, people were already walking around outside. In the early autumn morning, it was already cold. There were voices of greetings from a distance. Chen Jingxiao’s yard was paid attention to but not taken seriously. Even his parents who drove him out for a year and a half When the family was separated, the three brothers, the father and mother followed the eldest, and the third was studying in the city. The parents bought a piece of foundation next to the old house without worry, and he was the only one who was assigned to a remote place on the side of the mountain. The area is far away from others, but if you go up the mountain, you have to go through the slope below your home. Xiaoxiao’s current broken house is about two meters higher than the slope everyone walks. It is an independent platform. The only advantage is that This platform was completely surrounded by the original owner. Even though there were only a few dilapidated houses in the house, the area here was really not small, about ten acres.In the past, he didn't have money to build a large courtyard wall, so he tried to plant thorns all over it, and after a few years, he has completely surrounded it.

There are only a few solitary dilapidated houses in such a huge place, no matter how you look at it, it feels awkward.

After getting enough sleep, Xiaoxiao opened the door and went to the kitchen to make breakfast, still cooking porridge, still with pickles and rice porridge.

One day’s daily work, carrying water, took the opportunity to take a good look at this mountain village, the big mountains in the suburbs of Beijing. Many people on the road looked at Chen Jingxiao carrying water in surprise. Come here!"

"Seventh Uncle, the boy has figured it out, and he will be fine in the future."

"That's good, it should be like this. When you wake up, go to your Yue's house if you have time. Don't forget about this. Your Yue's family has been benevolent these past few years. Without them, your children will starve to death."

"Yes, the boy listened to the seventh uncle, and went up the mountain in two days to find some good things."

"Yes, you can't lose your etiquette. Live a good life in the future. When the conditions improve, you can find someone else to live a prosperous life and make some people regret going."

There is a reason for this. Last year, Chen Jingxiao didn’t have any money to give the old man’s annual filial money. His younger brother and sister-in-law were fanning the wind and lighting the will-o’-the-wisp. It happened that Chen Jingxiao was drunk again and made a scene. His parents were so angry that they said If you don't recognize him, you want to sever ties and say he is ashamed. The seventh uncle said that there must be a reason for severing ties. You can't drive your son out without paying filial money for a year or two. The old ancestors of the Chen family will scold them to death if they find out.If they really think that such a son is ashamed, they will adopt to the sixth uncle who has no descendants and is also the elder brother of the seventh uncle. Chen Jingxiao's younger brother Chen Jingyao has long felt that his second brother is ashamed, and his wife is robbed of having a child. The second sister-in-law hired a good midwife, and this matter has been pressing him uncomfortable.At the right time, the father and mother agreed.

The current Chen Jingxiao is the head of the family who has no one to control him. Except for his uncle who occasionally touchs him, and the family members of his uncle's family who help him, no one can control him.Do whatever you want.

After picking up water and returning home, the four children all got up and sat by the gate waiting for their father who had reformed himself to come back. "Boss, what are you doing sitting at the gate? Have you had breakfast?"

"Father, no, together."

"it is good."

Telling the children to stay at home, Xiaoxiao went up the mountain with a shoulder pole and a rope, and a hatchet in her hand, hoping to get a bigger guy at a time, and make some money on the surface.

The Mang Mountain in autumn is the most beautiful. The whole mountain is golden yellow, and the green and golden circles are too beautiful to behold.

Stepping on it is covered with soft and soft fallen leaves. The spiritual sense covers an area of ​​ten miles, and no valuable prey is found. Continue to move forward at an extremely fast speed. After several tens of miles, you will enter the dense forest, and the dense forest is full of thorns , while cutting and walking, in a place with more thorns and bushes, there was a sound of groaning and groaning.

The herd of wild boars is not too many. Six wild boars were attacked by Xiaoxiao's spiritual sense and then killed with a single knife. It is fast and fast, running on the mountain is faster than going down the official road, and you can enter the city without going through the city gate. It may be difficult for ordinary people, but it is very easy for Xiaoxiao.

When I arrived in the city, I found a place to go down the mountain until I arrived at the Xilaike Restaurant, which used to sell prey. The waiter in the shop saw a man coming with two big wild boars carrying two hundred catties, and hurried in to report, "Boss, someone picked two big wild boars." , do you want to go and have a look?"

The shopkeeper put down the account book, and looked at the waiter in confusion, "How can one person carry two big wild boars, just kidding."

The waiter in the shop was in a hurry, he didn't lie to others to pick the wild boar horizontally, both ends of the wild boar were tied with ropes and they were running together to tie a knot.What's so difficult about this, do you have to pick it vertically?

"Shopkeeper, I didn't lie to you, really." The waiter in the shop scratched his head anxiously, the shopkeeper came out and took a look, yo, acquaintance. "Boy from the Chen family, why don't you drink anymore, think about your old job, and you can still hunt with your bones."

"Shopkeeper Lu, the boy has come to his senses, so don't make him look ugly, please." Xiaoxiao folded her hands together and asked Shopkeeper Lu.

"Okay, for your sake, let's go, go up to the side door and go to the backyard." The shopkeeper Lu took good care of Chen Jingxiao, he knew that this boy was a righteous person and would come to trouble.

"Shopkeeper Lu, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, not bad."

Waiting in the restaurant for the settlement money from shopkeeper Lu, the two big wild boars have a total of 17 taels of silver, which is not a small amount. After taking the money and thanking shopkeeper Lu, he left.

Although the country has experienced wars and chaos before, the country has only been stable for ten years, and it has not been too stable for ten years, and there are still wars on the frontier.

The capital city is the capital city, bustling and bustling. The streets are full of hawkers. On both sides of the street, besides shops, there are small stalls, and there are also mobile vendors. They shouted nicely: "Candied haws, sell candied haws, delicious candied haws... ..." The hawker was full of spirit and kept moving among the crowd.

I went to the rice and grain shop I often went to, bought ten catties of rice, bought more than a dozen flours, went to the mill to buy two catties of oil, bought lamp oil and a few candles, walked out of the city, halfway to the Halfway through, I found a remote mountain depression, took out a pair of large baskets from the storage ring, and put two bags of fifty-jin rice, two bags of fifty-jin flour, and one bag of fifty-jin millet in the baskets. There are still twenty catties of peanut oil, three bolts of cloth, and dozens of catties of cotton. Seeing that autumn is coming, the children's cotton coats and quilts needed by the family need to be bought in advance.
