Jiang Tongshui's words left Jiang Tongmu silent.

What a good brother!

He should have been secretly thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves when he was young.

He glanced at his brother, curled his lips and spoke faintly.

"Okay, since you all want to go, then go ahead. Xiaoshui, Xiaohuo, Xiaotu, the three of you take good care of Xiaoji and Xiaoxiang. I'll hold Fubao. Remember, if there's any danger, run quickly and don't stop. I can handle it."

Although I dislike my younger brother in my heart.

But if there is real danger, he would rather bear it himself than see his younger brothers and sisters get into trouble.

soon.

The seven people walked towards the inner circle of the mountain.

From time to time they came across patches of green along the way.

It rained last time, although it didn't last long.

But after a long period of rain, tender sprouts appeared again. They were still in the small green sprout stage, and the villagers were reluctant to dig them up, so they let them grow for a while.

After two quarters of an hour, we arrived at the outer circle of the mountain.

Jiang Fubao's ears suddenly became noisy.

The sounds of plants and animals are mixed together.

She tried hard to distinguish the movements of the insects for about a minute.

Jiang Fubao pointed to a small pile of rocks and said, "Over there, brothers, there are bugs."

As soon as his sister spoke, Jiang Tongmu rushed over immediately, and the others were not slow to move either.

They squatted down and turned over the stones one by one.

Many large yellow worms were exposed.

It is the size of a little finger and plump.

"It's really fat. Our hens are going to be full today. Sister, you are amazing. How did you know there were worms here?"

Jiang Tongtu was so impressed.

"Grandma said I was a fairy from heaven, so of course I know where the bugs are."

Jiang Fubao put his hands on his hips, looking extremely proud.

But her belly is round.

It adds a bit of joy.

"Okay, okay, you are a fairy, and fairies cannot catch bugs. Fubao, just sit under the tree and rest, and your brothers will catch them."

Jiang Tongmu took a bamboo basket, caught the insects with his bare hands, and put them in one by one.

He didn't even look up when he spoke.

I was afraid that I would let several insects go if I wasn't careful.

"I know, second brother."

I saw them lowering their heads and catching insects very seriously.

Jiang Fubao pretended to agree, but actually slipped away quietly.

She came to the grass ten meters away, pushed aside the weeds and walked in.

Just now she heard the voice of a squirrel, complaining that there was a hole here and it almost fell into it.

It just so happened that there were too many eggs piled up in her space.

Must find a place to store it.

This area belongs to the inner circle.

Few people from the village will come.

If the hole was big, she would hide all the eggs in it.

Jiang Fubao bent down, picked up a branch, and started searching in the grass.

The sound of branches touching the weeds scared away many insects.

One minute later.

She found the pothole.

I saw that the entrance of the cave was as big as a bathtub.

But not deep.

Only about one meter.

Jiang Fubao pulled up a bunch of weeds, threw them into the hole, and then looked around.

I saw that my brothers didn’t come.

She put all the eggs in.

Because of the big movement, several eggs were broken.

When only quail eggs were left in the space, she covered the hole with dead branches and weeds.

"Fubao——"

"younger sister--"

"Where have you been, Fubao?"

"Wow, sister, where are you——"

The next second, the brothers' shouts were heard.

I could vaguely hear my second brother crying.

Jiang Fubao quickly stood up.

She moved five meters away.

He took out the quail eggs from the space and also took out fifty kilograms of rice.

The snakeskin bag of rice is not of this world.

There are words and dates written on it.

Can't take it out.

But Jiang Fubao was craving for rice.

She pushed the rice to the ground with all her strength.

Then put the snakeskin bag back into the space.

It doesn’t matter if it’s dirty. At most I can ask grandma and the others to wash the rice a few more times.

She was not afraid of being exposed, because these little brats were easy to fool.

After finishing everything, Jiang Fubao left the bushes, waving his hands and shouting loudly.

"Fubao is here, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother——"

I called my brother all six times, without missing a single one.

Fortunately, my eldest brother is not here.

Otherwise you will really become a Calabash Brothers.

Then isn't she grandpa?

Jiang Fubao muttered to himself.

"Fubao, didn't your second brother tell you not to run around? Why are you here? You scared your second brother to death."

The oldest one, Jiang Tongmu, was the first to run over. He didn't know where he had put the bamboo basket in his hand. There was panic on his face, and he was frightened out of his wits by his sister's disappearance.

"Second brother, there is a testicle here. I found it." Jiang Fubao stuck out his tongue, feeling a little guilty.

"Egg?" Jiang Tongmu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his sister was fine.

He pushed aside the haystack with confusion and walked in.

Oops.

I saw a mountain of eggs piled up in the grass.

There is also a rice mountain next to it.

It's like a dream.

Jiang Tongmu’s eyes widened and he stood there in a daze.

Then, several younger brothers also came running over.

They saw quail eggs and rice.

Everyone opened their mouths wide and exclaimed.

“That’s a lot of eggs.”

"Oh, why is there still rice?"

"Fubao, you are so amazing. You can even pick up rice. You really are a fairy who has descended to the earth. What grandma said is right." Jiang Tongtu stomped his feet excitedly.

"Hurry, bring the bamboo basket and the backpack." The voices of his younger brothers woke Jiang Tongmu from his daze. Fortunately, he brought a bamboo basket with him before going up the mountain to pick up some dry firewood, otherwise he would have nothing to carry the rice.

The mountain of rice in front of me is finely ground and white all over. I can smell the fragrance of rice before I get close.

Jiang Tongtu, who had eaten rice a few years ago, drooled unconsciously.

"There are still a lot on the ground. Let's pick them all up so as not to waste them."

After filling the backpacks and bamboo baskets, we looked at the scattered rice grains on the ground. As brothers who came from poor families, we felt heartbroken.

They knelt on the ground, picking up the rice grains one by one with their hands.

Even those stuck in the mud were not spared.

Until there is not a single grain left.

They left the bushes.

Jiang Fubao saw it all and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Let's go, stop catching bugs, and go down the mountain quickly." Jiang Tongmu picked up Jiang Fubao and said to his younger brothers.

The seven people walked down the mountain in an orderly manner.

Jiang Tongmu held his sister in his arms, Jiang Tongshui carried a bamboo basket, and Jiang Tonghuo carried a bamboo basket.

As for Jiang Tongtu, he took care of the two brothers Jixiang.

The bugs I just caught.

Stacked with quail eggs.

Some were squashed.

Pathetic.

Zhoujia Village on the other side.

The two families are discussing the bride price.

"We don't ask for much. Just give like ordinary families. Two taels will be enough. But as for the dowry, I have to make it clear that we can't give it. As you know, my grandson is going to get engaged soon. The girl's family is from the town. Alas, the betrothal gift is a full five taels.

Whose family is not in trouble? I can only let Yuanyuan down for now. Don't worry, we are all reasonable. If we are well-off in the future, when Yuanyuan gives birth to a baby, I will give the child a safety lock on the full moon day as compensation."
