Wearing sixty with a male god

After entering the mountain, the children scattered, looking for things from time to time and throwing them into the small basket behind them. They said they were going into the mountain to collect firewood, but in fact they picked up more than just firewood.

Xiang Chen saw that the girl named Meizi had picked a lot of plants with fat leaves, and in a short while they piled up half of the bamboo basket.

Hua Nier followed Xiang Chen all the time, seeing his curious eyes, she took the initiative to explain: "Meizi's mother feeds pigs in the village, and she shoots pigweed."

Xiang Chen suddenly realized, no wonder the other children didn't pick up that kind of plant.After he figured it out, he stopped staring and followed the other children, picking up some dry branches and putting them in his own basket.

"Don't pick that one, that one burns too much, pick this one." Hua Nier showed him what she picked up: "This branch is particularly burnt, and this one, this one is good for starting a fire."

Xiang Chen wrote them down one by one, and thanked her with admiration: "Thank you, you know so much."

Hua Nier smiled sheepishly, and then she reminded Xiang Chen everywhere, telling him all her experiences.Hearing from Xiang Chen that his family needs to store firewood, Hua Nier also told him that these children can't collect much, and the small branches are not burnt, so it is best to ask his brother to cut two bundles of firewood and carry them back.

Xiang Chen made a note and told his brother when he decided to go back.

It was Xiang Chen's first time going up the mountain, and he walked slowly, gradually falling behind with Hua Nier, and could only vaguely hear the voices of other children.

Xiang Chen's back basket was not too big, he was so focused on collecting firewood that he filled the back basket half full in no time.Suddenly heard cheers coming from the front, Hua Nier hurriedly pulled Xiang Chen forward: "Hurry up, they must have found something delicious."

When they got there, they saw all the children gathered around a small tree, and there was a boy crawling on the tree, he was black and thin, it was Hua Nier's older brother Hei Wa.

"Hua Nier, go ahead." Seeing his sister coming, Hei Wa threw the freshly plucked fruit over, Hua Nier caught it, and said pleasantly, "Ah, it's a wild apple."

The other children urged Hei Wa to pick it quickly, and two boys were gearing up for it. If the tree was not too small, they would have climbed it too.

"Why are you in a hurry, why don't you pick them?" Hei Wa flipped back and forth nimbly like a monkey, and quickly picked all the fruits he could see.The tree was very small and its branches were thin. Fortunately, he was a child, otherwise the trunk would have been crushed.

There are very few fruits on the tree, only a few, even if the tree is so small, it should not only have these few fruits.Xiang Chen guessed that it must have been picked by someone.

After picking the fruit, Hei Wa slipped out holding the tree trunk, and a group of children immediately gathered around, waiting to share the fruit.

They had eight children, but there were only five fruits. Heiwa scratched her head, pointed to two of them who were only five or six years old, and said, "You two are no longer separated."

The two children's faces collapsed, and they held the hands of their elder brothers and sisters and dared not speak. Their elder sisters were also unhappy, but they still didn't say anything, obviously acquiescing to Hei Wa's allocation decision.

The older children in the village don’t like to take care of the younger ones, because they think they are crying and obstructive, because once they find something to eat, they will share their share with their younger siblings. After all, they are young and can’t do much. Assignment eligibility.

There were two people missing, but the fruits were not enough. The children looked at Xiang Chen and Hua Nier, but didn't speak.

Hua Nier was also brought out by her brother, but she is old enough, capable, and not slowing down. Even without her brother, she can climb the tree and pick the fruit by herself, so she should have one too.

If it was given to Hua Nier, then Xiang Chen would be gone. Hei Wa carried a few fruits in her clothes and muttered: "It's really troublesome."

He divided the other fruits, leaving only one in his hand, walked up to Xiang Chen, and said unhappily, "Here you are."

Xiang Chen froze for a moment, then quickly waved his hand: "I don't want it, you can eat it."

Looking at the appearance of these children, I also know that they rarely have such gains. He is not short of this stutter, so there is no need to compete with others.

"If I tell you to take it, you can take it." Hei Wa said impatiently, "If my mother finds out, she will have to talk about me again." After speaking, she stuffed the fruit into Xiang Chen's hand.

Xiang Chen held the fruit that Hei Wa had stuffed, and curled the corner of his mouth. He didn't care about this fruit, but he thought that this child was really interesting. In the words of later generations, he was a little arrogant.

Xiang Chen took a closer look at the fruit in his hand, Hua Nier said it was a wild apple, and he saw that it was indeed an apple in shape, but it was much smaller, a circle smaller than his own fist, and the skin was blue, so he took a closer look and smelled it , and a little apple flavor.

Other children have already started to eat, wipe it with the hem of their clothes, or directly wipe it with their hands twice, and then start eating directly.Including the two little ones, they all had a piece of flesh bitten off by their elder brother and sister in their mouths.

Hei Wa leaned next to Hua Nier, smiling shyly, "Nier, give me a bite."

Hua Nier pursed her lips and smiled, took a big bite herself, and gave the rest to her brother: "I'll eat it for you."

"Hey hey, I'll find something delicious for you next time." Hei Wa took a bite and assured Hua Nier inarticulately.

Seeing that they ate deliciously, Xiang Chen felt hungry. The other children didn't wash their apples. If he found water to wash their apples, he seemed a bit strange.

Xiang Chen thought about it, forget it, anyway, this wild fruit cannot be treated with pesticides.Following the example of other children, he lifted the hem of his clothes, wiped the apple vigorously, and then bit down.

The next moment, Xiang Chen's entire face was wrinkled, and tears were about to come out from the acid. The other children couldn't help laughing when they saw Xiang Chen's embarrassment.

"It's so sour!" Xiang Chen clutched his cheeks, wondering if his teeth were okay, and seeing the other children still eating happily, he wondered if he was the only one who took a sour fruit.

"Eat slowly, you can taste a little sweet." After laughing, Hua Nier said to him, "Wild apples are not the most sour. Next time I will take you to pick hawthorns, which are even more sour."

It's okay if she doesn't say it, but when he said it, Xiang Chen's mouth started to get sour, this wild apple is so sour, how sour it must be even more sour than this one.

A few children laughed and gnawed the fruits they were given, almost chomping down on the core and swallowing them.Xiang Chen endured the sourness and slowly gnawed at the green fruit in his hand. They were reluctant to eat what was given to him, and he couldn't throw it away if he didn't like it.

I don't know if it's from his heart, or what Hua Nier said is true. As he ate, Xiang Chen felt a little bit sweet. In fact, it was not so sour, so he couldn't help but take another bite.

One bite at a time, Xiang Chen ate up that little wild apple, and he licked his lips, feeling a little unsatisfied.

"It's delicious." Hua Nier said with a smile: "We are lucky today. If we came later, these few fruits would have been picked."

Xiang Chen nodded: "It's delicious."

He felt that this wild fruit really had a special taste, next time we meet again, he must bring one back for his brother to taste.

"Is there a place to wash your hands?" Xiang Chen spread out his hands to show Hua Nier: "Hands are so sticky."

Hei Wa heard it nearby, and muttered, "Why are you so delicate."

Having said that, he still took Xiang Chen to find a stream. The clear mountain spring water flowed through the mountains, and he could feel a fresh water vapor when he got close.

Xiang Chen squatted down and washed his hands. The water was a bit cold, so he didn't touch the cold water after washing himself off in a hurry.The other children also squatted down and washed their hands, and two of them even took a few sips of water, watching Xiang Chen grit his teeth, really not afraid of the cold.

After washing their hands, everyone went back the same way, Xiang Chen still walked with Hua Nier, and Hei Wa walked on the other side of Hua Nier.

On the way, Hua Nier remembered the wild apples she ate just now, and recalled: "Apples are so delicious, if only I could eat them again."

Hei Wa flicked the branch in her hand, patted it around, heard her sister's words, and laughed, "It's a good idea, this is the last crop of wild apples, if you want to eat, wait until next year!"

Hua Nier sighed regretfully, Xiang Chen was amused, and suddenly remembered something, and stopped: "I brought biscuits, do you want to eat?"

Aunt Yu said yesterday that she asked her child to take Xiang Chen up the mountain together, and Xu Hengzhou thought that it would be the easiest way to build a good relationship with the children if they play together and eat biscuits and candies.So before leaving in the morning, Xu Hengzhou wrapped a small bag of biscuits for Xiang Chen and asked him to take it with his friends to eat.

Hua Nier blinked: "What are biscuits?"

Xiang Chen paused for a while while taking out the paper bag, and said hesitantly, "It's a kind of snack, right?"

When the other children heard that there was food, they gathered around and watched as Xiang Chen took out a small paper bag from his pocket and opened it layer by layer. Inside was a beige rectangle with sesame seeds on it.

"This is a biscuit!" Hua Nier exclaimed, "The dim sum in the city looks really strange. The dim sum made by my grandmother is not like this."

"There are other snacks in the city, it doesn't look like this." Xiang Chen spread out the paper bag, and glanced at the children surrounded by him, all staring at the biscuit in his hand.

"It seems not enough." Xiang Chen frowned.

This kind of biscuit is quite big, and it can only be put in a big pocket in winter. Even so, a pack of a few biscuits is not too small, and no more pockets can fit it.Originally, Xu Hengzhou thought that he and Aunt Yu's children would be enough for each of them, but he didn't expect that there were so many children traveling together this time.

Several children, especially the two youngest, had red eyes when they heard him say that it was not enough. This is not a wild apple, and they have eaten it before.This is a snack in the city, and they have never heard of it.

Xiang Chen saw it, and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, don't worry, half of each person is fine, exactly four yuan."

He handed the paper to Hua Nier: "Help me get it."

Hua Nier quickly took it, holding it with both hands, not daring to move, Xiang Chen picked up the top piece, because it was inevitable to be squeezed while running, the corners of the biscuit were shattered to pieces.

"This is for both of you." Xiang Chen gave the biscuit to the boy named Shi Shi: "You and your brother share it, just break it in the middle."

Then he gave another piece to Meizi and asked her to give it to her younger sister, Hei Wa and Hua Nier shared a piece, and Xiang Chen shared a piece with the kid named Shanzi.

The children didn't dare to move when they got the biscuit. Seeing Xiang Chen split half of his own biscuit for Shan Zi, and feed the half into his own mouth, they learned something.

"Really delicious!"

"So sweet!"

"Crispy and delicious!"

"I have eaten sesame seeds!"

Several children exclaimed, eating half a biscuit, they all smiled happily, and took small bites, savoring the taste carefully.

No matter how small the biscuit was, half of the biscuit was eaten quickly. The children licked their fingers reluctantly, and the sweet taste in their mouths was so wonderful that they had endless aftertastes.

"Shanzi, why don't you eat it?" Shitou asked curiously when he saw that Shanzi was putting his biscuit, which he took only a small bite into, into his pocket.

Shanzi is a taciturn child. From the moment they met, he only heard him say a word when he introduced himself. At other times, Xiang Chen didn't hear his voice much.

Shouted by Shitou, everyone else looked at Shanzi, Shanzi panicked, and whispered, "I'll take it back and give it to my grandma to taste."

The other children were immediately annoyed, yes, such a rare and delicious snack should be brought home for the family to taste, why did they finish eating it all at once? !The biscuits must be so delicious that they couldn't control themselves.

After hearing this, Xiang Chen quickly grabbed Shan Zi: "Let me wrap this paper up for you, it will stain your clothes if you put it in your pocket if it breaks."

It turned out that there were still a lot of broken biscuit crumbs on the paper wrapping the biscuits. He thought about washing the quilt filled with sugar water. Aunt Yu said he was a waste, so he asked Hua Nier: "Do you eat the broken ones?"

Hua Nier nodded quickly, Xiang Chen asked her to spread her hands, and poured all the broken biscuit crumbs into her hands.

The other children were so greedy, Hua Nier didn't give it to anyone, and neither did her brother: "We'll take it home and give it to our parents."

Xiang Chen was embarrassed, he felt that the broken biscuit crumbs were really too much to sell, but seeing Hua Nier's expression of cherishing, Xiang Chen had to tear the paper wrapping the biscuit in half, and gave it to Hua Nier and Shan Zi. They wrapped it carefully and put it in their pockets.

"Next time I'll treat you to a roasted sparrow." Hei Wa said to Xiang Chen, "I'll make you the fattest sparrow, it's guaranteed to be delicious."

Xiang Chen pursed his lips and smiled, he knew that this was Hei Wa's expression of kindness, and he would play with him in the future.

Several other older children also promised that they would invite Xiang Chen back. They told them about the wild fruits in the mountains, which made Xiang Chen feel a little greedy.

After eating good meals twice in a row, the group of children were in high spirits, and they were happy to run around on the way back.Their back baskets were already full, and seeing that Xiang Chen was still collecting firewood, they picked them up one by one and put them in Xiang Chen's back basket, and it was filled up quickly.

Xiang Chen saw that there was more firewood, and he showed regret. He is now immersed in the excitement of storing supplies. He is obviously short of firewood, so much is piled up in front of him, but he can't carry it away. What a pity.

When Heizi saw it, he smiled, "What's the matter?"

He went to pull out a long vine, and tied the firewood into several small bundles, and each of the larger bundles would carry it for him.

They stayed in the mountain forest for a while, and it was time to go down the mountain now. They usually took a shorter path when they went up the mountain to collect firewood.This time, for Xiang Chen's sake, they went around to the gate of Xiang Chen's house and piled up the firewood for him before saying goodbye to him.

"Let's play together next time!"

"Okay, remember to call me." Xiang Chen stood at the door to see off his new friends.

Everyone left, Xiang Chen turned around to pack the firewood he had picked up, and according to his brother's plan, he piled them all up against the kitchen wall, neatly arranged.He has not been idle these days, and today, he already has a small pile of firewood.

Xiang Chen was very satisfied. When Xu Hengzhou came back, he was still squatting by the door, humming a ditty and counting the firewood he picked up.

Xu Hengzhou had a little smile on his face. His child hadn't been this happy for a long time. He raised his voice and exclaimed deliberately: "Oh, you picked up so many!"

"Brother, you're back." Xiang Chen turned his head, and when he saw Xu Hengzhou, he immediately stood up and asked him to look: "Look, brother, I picked up so much."

Xu Hengzhou gave a thumbs up: "My family's Xing Xing is really powerful, I have helped my brother a lot."

Xiang Chen's cheeks were flushed with joy, his brother praised him, he is not useless at all, he can be raised as an oil bottle, and he can always grow up and work.

"Actually, not all of them were picked up by me." After Xiang Chen laughed, he said embarrassedly: "Some of them were picked up by other children for me, and they brought them back to me."

"That's also very powerful." Xu Hengzhou patted his head: "My Xingxing family is still young, and will become more and more capable in the future."

Xiang Chen smiled and nodded vigorously: "Well, I have learned a lot, and I will definitely be able to do more work in the future."

Seeing that he was so happy, Xu Hengzhou smiled and said, "You're very happy today?"

Xiang Chen hurriedly told him what happened in the morning, and when he said that he ate a sour fruit, Xiang Chen wrinkled his face as soon as he thought about it.

Xu Hengzhou laughed, it seems that the fruit is really sour.

"But after eating it, it's quite delicious." Xiang Chen swallowed, "Next time we meet again, I'll bring you one. By the way, they also said they would take me to pick hawthorns, that one is even more sour. "

Xu Hengzhou thanked Bumin, looking at Xiang Chen's appearance, he knew how sore he was, he was getting old and couldn't bear it, let the little ones eat more.

"I gave them the biscuits." Xiang Chen talked about distributing the biscuits again, and finally scratched his face: "Huan Nier took the broken ones back, I'm sorry, there were so many people at that time, I thought Said, I’ll get her a few whole pieces when I get home.”

"It's okay." Xu Hengzhou comforted him: "Aunt Yu and the others won't mind if you children share the food. Our family also entrusted Aunt Yu to run some errands. There will always be a chance to thank them in the future."

After listening to Xiang Chen's description, he knew that the two children of Aunt Yu's family took good care of Xiang Chen and reciprocated, and he was willing to give more benefits to Aunt Yu's family.

The other children didn't go up the mountain in the afternoon, so Xu Hengzhou was worried that Xiang Chen would go up the mountain alone, so Xiang Chen had to go to the village to pick them up in a small basket on his back.

There are also many trees in the village, but there are not so many firewood, and the fallen dead branches are picked up by the villagers when they pass by.But Xiang Chen is currently obsessed with collecting and storing firewood, and he doesn't want to waste time, so he decides to go to the village to try his luck. Mosquitoes have meat on their legs.

Xu Hengzhou felt amused when he finished speaking. When Xiang Chen was studying, he didn't have such energy, and he didn't know what happened.

In fact, it’s easy to understand. It’s like playing a game. Many people, like hamsters, like to hoard supplies. Seeing the things they store increase little by little, they will feel a sense of satisfaction in their hearts.Xiang Chen is like this now, he only wants to build a big firewood pile in front of his house.
