Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

"Niannian, let's take a nap first. We have to go to the mountain to chop some firewood in the afternoon, otherwise we won't be able to cook."

An Nian smiled and nodded, then closed the door and prepared for a nap.

An Nian took off his cloth shoes and climbed onto the bed with a smile.

The newly laid straw was very soft, and he couldn't help jumping up and down.

An Yue watched An Nian jumping happily. At this moment, the feeling was really wonderful.

The brother and sister hugged each other and fell asleep in a short while.

——An hour passed.

When the brother and sister woke up, it was already past noon.

They simply washed their faces, put on their small backpacks, took their old bamboo rakes, and walked out into the yard.

The brother and sister walked along the path, reminiscing about the past in their minds.

Regarding every big tree, every hillside, and every path here, the scenes of the past are vivid in my mind, like a movie.

An Yue suddenly said, "Niannian, let's go see Daddy and Mommy, okay?"

When An Nian heard her sister say this, she was very surprised.

In fact, he thought so in his heart, but he didn't want to make his sister sad, so he chose not to say it.

The brother and sister walked one after the other towards a hill not far from their home.

An Nian pointed to the hillside and said, "Father and mother are buried there."

An Nian walked in front, constantly talking about the scenes when his father and mother were still alive.

"Sister, Daddy once said..."

The brother and sister chatted with each other and before they knew it, they had reached the mountain.

A mound of earth can be seen in the distance.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The brother and sister were getting closer and closer to the mound.

There were only layers of fallen leaves and a few sparse dead grasses on the pile of earth.

When the breeze blows by, the dry grass sways from side to side.

The brother and sister came to the pile of earth and knelt down unconsciously.

An Nian crawled forward on his knees, hugged the pile of dirt with his arms, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Daddy...Mom..."

"Wow... Nian Nian... Wow... Nian Nian I miss you guys so much."

An Yue looked at her brother crying loudly and prepared to squat down to comfort him.

However, her nose felt sore and her chest felt stuffy and she couldn't breathe, so she bit her lip.

A piercing pain quickly spread to every nerve ending in the body.

She raised her head, took a deep breath, blinked rapidly, and tried hard to control her emotions.

"..."

These damn tears! They rolled down from the corners of my eyes.

She cried softly, "Daddy...Mom..."

"We're here to see you."

Her body was shaking and she sobbed, "Is it cold over there?"

"Dad, we will definitely keep the things you left for us."

"Dad, mother..."

An Yue had prepared thousands of words in her mind, but suddenly she didn't know where to start.

She choked up and smiled bitterly, "We...we are fine! We are fine."

"Just...just..."

"It's just that Yueyue failed to protect her brother and caused him to suffer."

"Daddy, mother... I never feel wronged every year."

The brother and sister knelt on the ground, hugged each other and cried.

——Half a quarter of an hour passed.

The siblings calmed down a little and gradually calmed down.

An Nian stood up slowly and said, "Dad, Mom, let's go collect some firewood first."

An Yue sobbed and said, "We will come here often in the future."

The brother and sister wiped their eyes, put on their backpacks and climbed up the mountain.

Anyue was chopping dry branches, while Anyan was imitating her grandmother and picking up fallen leaves with a bamboo rake.

Today's sunshine feels like early spring.

The fallen leaves on the mountain were baked very dry and made a crackling sound when you stepped on them.

An Yue followed the example of her grandparents and tied up the chopped dead branches.

An Yue thought that they were all small dead branches and would not be durable if she carried them home.

I can't treat myself like a child anymore. I need to exercise my body well.

So she cut down a few more dead tree trunks as thick as her arms.

Then he cut the tree trunks into short pieces and put them in a backpack. He carried more tree trunks himself and asked An Nian to carry the dry leaves. Finally, he and An Nian carried a thick tree trunk back home.

The brother and sister struggled hard and finally got down the mountain.

Just as they reached a bend, An Yue heard a 'dong' sound from the roadside.

She quickly called An Nian in a low voice, made a gesture of 'silence', and whispered: "Niannian, there seems to be something in front, you stand here and don't move, sister will go and take a look first."

An Nian shrank his neck in fear and nodded.

An Yue thought: Could this be a ferocious beast from the mountains?

She picked up the machete and crept forward step by step.

Suddenly, with a "swoosh" sound, a group of sparrows flew out from the ground, and An Yue's heart started pounding with fright.

She vaguely saw a foot, and after a few steps forward, it seemed that there was a person lying there.

An Yue walked slowly forward and saw an old lady. She quickly waved to An Nian.

An Yue leaned closer and asked, "Grandma, what happened to you?"

The old woman's body was shaking and she was breathing heavily, making "uh" sounds from time to time.

An Yue looked serious. She looked around but couldn't see any people or even a ghost.

An Yue began to struggle in her heart: Should I help? Or should I not?

She thought about how in the 21st century, there were often old men and women deliberately trying to scam people on the roadside.

What if there is an old lady here who is a professional scammer? And since there is no surveillance in this era, wouldn’t the brother and sister be unable to defend themselves?

She pulled An Nian and prepared to leave.

After taking two steps, I still couldn't bear it.

He complained in his heart: "Hey! If you get cheated for doing good things, you deserve it! Who made me soft-hearted! It's miserable enough now, can it be worse than now?"

She turned back and looked at the old woman again, and she didn't seem to be pretending.

She quickly put down the backpack, squatted down and reached out to help the old woman up. When she got closer, she saw that her face was as pale as paper, her forehead was covered with sweat, and she was still gasping for breath.

"Grandma, where are your family members?" The old woman seemed to be unconscious.

An Yue looked at her home which was not far away, about a hundred meters away.

He said: "Every year, put the backpacks and dead tree trunks on the roadside first, and don't block the road."

After hearing what her sister said, An Nian hurriedly did as she was told.

"Niannian, come and lend a hand, let's help grandma back to our home first."

An Yue leaned close to the old woman's ear and said, "Grandma, Yueyue will help you go back to our home first."

The old woman struggled to make a vague sound: "Okay..."

An Yue helped the old woman sit up slowly, and then tried to help her stand up.

When a person is in a state of total powerlessness, he feels really dead heavy.

She tried several times but couldn't stand up. The old woman felt weak all over and her legs and feet were weak. What should she do?

An Yue finally thought of a solution.

I thought about taking out the thicker dead branches from the basket and handing them to the old woman to use as a makeshift crutch.

Although the old woman's hands and feet are weak, letting her cooperate a little to support herself can reduce some of the weight.

This time I finally managed to stand up with the help of help. As long as I can stand up, it’s fine.

An Yue put the old woman's arm on her shoulders and stood side by side.
