At the beginning of the year of famine, the lucky girl of the farm family used cheats to support the

Early the next morning, when it was still light, Li Shuangrong and Li Huaiqing carried their hoes and went to the fields. They still had some corn seeds at home. If they planted them now, maybe they could harvest some grain next year. It was better than leaving the land empty.

After having breakfast, Li Chongwang and Li Chongming went to the fields to help plow the land, leaving Li Chongxi and Li Yi Qiu to go out and play with the kids next door.

Li Chongxi, who is nine years old this year, is so impressive when he takes Yiqiu, who is four years old, out. After all, a nine-year-old child is already half an adult, and when he grows up a little bit, he can help the family with farm work. The children all like to play with the older children, but for Li Yiqiu, they all despise him because he is a little brat. He can't climb a tree, and he doesn't know how to make a fire in a pit to roast sparrows. He just knows how to wait for them to be cooked and eat them together. If Li Chongxi wasn't good enough to catch sparrows, they would definitely not be happy to take Li Yiqiu out to play.

A group of children stood under the big locust tree. They all looked about seven or eight years old, except Yi Qiu, who was a little kid.

Wang Sanbao looked at the bird's nest on the tree and said happily, "Look, there must be bird eggs there."

Climbing a tree is a piece of cake for these children in the village. Li Chongxi asked Yi Qiu to sit next to a rock and said, "Sit still and I will roast some bird eggs for you."

Yi Qiu nodded obediently, sat on the rock and watched his brother climb the tree, cheering him on as he watched.

Li Chongxi climbed very fast, and within an incense stick of time, he came down with seven or eight bird eggs in his arms. Several children immediately gathered around, and Wang Sanbao and Wang Sifang found a pile of dry straw, took a flint and started a fire next to the stone. Several children excitedly said, "I want the whitest one," "I want the spotted one," "I want to eat the biggest one"...

It was quickly baked, and the children immediately shared it among themselves as if they did not mind the heat. They had little food left at home, and the bird eggs were probably the only way for them to improve their lives, the other being catching sparrows.

At the end, there were not enough eggs. Li Chongxi stuffed the eggs into Li Yiqiu's hand first, but the fat boy from the Yang family snatched them away and said confidently, "There were no eggs for him in the first place."

Li Chongxi was furious and said, "I took out the bird eggs, why can't I let my brother eat them?"

The little fat man said righteously: "I went to collect firewood, what did he do? Why shouldn't I get a share?"

Yang Xiaohua, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore and whispered, "It was me who picked up the firewood, and you didn't touch it."

The little fat boy looked at her angrily and scolded: "Who are you in league with? If you do this again, I will tell grandma and you won't be allowed to enter the house!"

The little girl closed her mouth in grievance, not daring to say a word.

A few friends looked at each other, not knowing what to say and not wanting to give up their bird eggs.

Li Chongxi looked at Yi Qiu, who was pouting and looking pitiful, and touched his head. He handed his own to him and said, "It's okay. I don't want it anymore. You eat it."

Yi Qiu's face wrinkled into a ball. He didn't know why everyone disliked him and didn't want to play with him.

Li Chongxi thought he was unhappy about the bird eggs, so he quickly peeled the shells and fed them to Yi Qiu, saying, "Open your mouth, it's delicious, don't be unhappy."

Yi Qiu still looked at her brother with a pout, pushed his hand and said, "Yi Qiu won't eat, brother will eat."

The little fat boy finished his own and watched the two people pushing each other. He grabbed the bird egg and stuffed it into his mouth, saying incoherently: "If you two don't want to eat it, I'll help you eat it."

Yi Qiu was stunned. It seemed that she didn't expect that her brother's bird eggs were snatched away by this little rascal again. She yelled at him in a childish voice: "Give it back to me, rascal!"

The fat boy immediately raised his hand to hit someone, but Chongxi stopped him, punched him directly, and said, "If you dare to hit my brother, I will kill you today!"

The fierce expression frightened the little fat boy so much that he ran back home quickly.

Yi Qiu remembered that she didn't get to eat the bird eggs, and her brother didn't get to eat them either, so she sat on the big rock sadly, not moving.

This group of friends all gathered around Chongxi and helped him with advice: "Your brother must be suffering from not having the bird eggs to eat."

"You're paying for one for him."

……

Li Chongxi looked at the bird's nest on the tree and prepared to go up again. He touched Yi Qiu's head and said, "Brother will dig it out for you. It's okay."

In no time, they climbed up the tree again. They usually didn't take all the bird nests, there would always be two or three left, so it wouldn't matter if they took one more.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, a long bamboo pole with a hook on it stretched out from under the tree. The bamboo pole seemed to be deliberately chasing Chongxi on the tree and hitting him non-stop.

Li Chongxi was already unstable on the tree, and he was holding the bird eggs in his hand. He dodged repeatedly, but the bamboo pole seemed to have eyes and kept poking him. Looking down, he saw that it was the fat boy who had brought the big bamboo pole from home to cause trouble.

Yi Qiu looked at him making trouble, and bumped into the little fat boy with her small body, shouting, "Don't bully my brother!"

How could a four-year-old child beat a fat boy? He stopped beating Li Chongxi. He turned around, picked up Yi Qiu and walked towards the well under the locust tree, saying as he walked: "How dare you hit me! I'll show you how powerful I am! Go to the well and drink some water. I won't drown you!"

Yi Qiu burst into tears out of fear. Li Chongxi couldn't get down for a while, and shouted, "How dare you!" He then turned his attention to the other children and said, "Help my brother! Please."

The children were used to being bullied by the fat boy, so they didn't dare to go up to him. Only Yang Xiaohua turned around and ran, disappearing in a flash.

Seeing Yi Qiu about to be thrown into the well, Li Chongxi made up his mind and jumped down from the tree. The severe pain in his right leg made him break into a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to delay at all and ran towards the well. At the last second, he grabbed Yi Qiu's hand.

Yi Qiu hung by the well, tightly grasping her brother's hand, crying, "Brother, I'm scared, brother——"

Li Chongxi felt severe pain in his right leg, but he still had to keep his foot firmly stuck under the rock next to him, otherwise he and Yi Qiu would probably fall down together.

The fat boy looked at Li Chongxi with murderous eyes, took a few steps back, picked up the bamboo pole and ran home.

A few friends then dared to step forward to rescue her. They hurriedly grabbed Yi Qiu's clothes, but the well mouth was too big and they couldn't exert any strength. They could only make sure that Yi Qiu didn't fall in.

When the Li family rushed over, they were terrified. Chongxi's pants were covered in blood, and Yiqiu was hanging at the mouth of the well.

Li Darong and Li Shuangrong rushed over to pull Yiqiu up, but the child had fainted from exhaustion. Chongxi finally relaxed and only then did he clearly feel the severe pain in his right leg.

Li Shuangrong carried Chongxi on his back and ran to the clinic. It was a journey that took most of an hour, but he arrived in less than half an hour.

By the time all the family members arrived, Chongxi had already fallen asleep.

Zhang Ercui asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Li Shuangrong: "My right leg is broken. I think I have a serious illness..."

Zhang Ercui couldn't bear the blow and sat on the ground, crying bitterly: "Damn it, who hurt my son!"

Li Darong helped the man up and said, "It's okay. As long as people are alive, we have nothing to be afraid of." Having said that, who wouldn't feel sorry for their own child?

Zhao Xiuer was looking after the children at home. Yi Qiu hadn't woken up yet, and even in his dream he was shouting, "Brother, save me, brother, save me--" Zhao Xiuer was so heartbroken that she didn't know what to do.

Cen Shu lay beside Yi Qiu, and slowly grasped his fingers with his little hands. Yi Qiu finally calmed down and slept more peacefully.
