Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

It's winter again, and the villagers are ready to go, carrying baskets and sacks.

Led by Liu Fugui, they swarmed towards the back mountain.

This is an activity for the whole village, and Liu Siyu suggested giving the workshop a two-day holiday.

Carpenter Tan also supported this proposal. Since the workshop was closed, he could naturally take a break from cooking.

Liu Siyu then gave Xiaohua and Xiaoqing a vacation as well.

Several people agreed to go up the mountain to pick acorns. Liu Siyu didn't want to go, but she couldn't resist everyone's repeated invitations.

Liu Siyu thought that such a lively scene was rare, and more people could help her pick more acorns.

Acorn powder can be used to feed pigs, and her family is raising a big black pig this year.

It started early this year, and there are many fruits that have not fallen yet, so we need to climb up the trees and use bamboo trunks to beat them.

Wang is not good at climbing trees, and Liu Siyu is even worse.

When Xiao Minghu saw this, he didn't say much. He just climbed up the tree and picked up a bamboo pole to beat him hard.

Then he went to hit the second tree.

Some of the shameless ones, seeing that Xiao Minghu had laid a thick layer of swords, began to swarm after him.

Wang really wanted to say something, but was afraid of being gossiped about, so she had to speed up her movements.

Xiao Qing was so angry that he just lowered his head and tried his best to pick up the things.

Liu Siyu wasn't going to be polite with anyone and spoke directly at the top of her voice.

"Uncle Xiao is playing with the trees, you just pick them up. You don't have to run around looking for them, and you can pick up more than others."

The women who were picking acorns were delighted when they heard this.

However, Xiao Qing tugged at the corner of Liu Siyu's clothes, and her shout attracted more people.

If everyone comes here to pick them up, his father will have no time to pick up acorns for a long time.

The workshop only has two days off, and she wanted to pick more, so she could catch a piglet before the New Year!

However, Liu Siyu shook her head at her, leaned closer to Xiao Qing, and whispered in her ear.

"Don't worry, I have something else to say."

Xiao Qing looked curious.

"What's the aftermath?"

Liu Siyu didn't say anything.

Others started chatting.

"This brother Xiao runs in the mountains all year round and climbs trees higher than others. Unlike my husband, he said his legs were weak after being hit twice with a stick."

"Who says it's not true? My husband is clumsy and can't climb up a tree after a long time. It's better to pick it up here."

Others echoed.

Liu Siyu smiled faintly and took over the conversation.

"Uncle Xiao is a capable man. He can clean every tree he passes by, saving everyone a lot of effort from running around."

Then he suddenly changed the subject.

"Uncle Xiao is busy picking acorns for you, so he may not have time to pick them up. You got the advantage, but don't forget the person who picked the acorns."

He pointed to the empty backpack beside him.

"Everyone pour a little here at noon, at least we can fill up a basket. It won't be a pity to disappoint those who have been working hard for half a day."

Those who understood the situation naturally nodded and said it was right.

There were also those who loved to take advantage of small opportunities and held on to their sacks tightly, not wanting to give out even a single acorn.

But he was reluctant to follow Xiao Minghu to pick up the trash, so he kept walking or lingering.

At noon, Liu Siyu took the lead in picking up the basket and pouring some food into Xiao Minghu's backpack.

Then others followed.

But when it was Niu Pangya's turn, she hesitated.

"I see there are quite a lot in the backpack. Even if the hunter doesn't hunt in the trees, he alone may not be able to pick up so much."

However, Liu Siyu stepped forward and blocked Niu Pangya's way.

"Auntie Fatty, you should be more honest. You followed someone and picked up the items for a long time, so you should show some appreciation, right?"

Niu Pangyaer glared at Liu Siyu unhappily.

"Oh, you're protecting me now?"

Wang's cheeks turned red when she heard this, but she couldn't argue.

Xiao Minghu felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.

Just as he was about to step forward to pick up the backpack, he was grabbed by Liu Siyu.

She didn't necessarily want to care about such a small matter, but she just didn't like people who always took advantage of others.

"What's wrong with protecting it? If Auntie Pang doesn't like it, why do you have to watch it?"

Niu Pangya snorted coldly.

He raised his voice.

"I still remember that you said last time that the two families were innocent and that others were deliberately gossiping about you. Mrs. Zhang even came to apologize. How come you got slapped in the face so quickly?"

Wang was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look up.

Xiao Minghu also felt very embarrassed.

Xiao Qing stared at Niu Pangya angrily.

"Auntie Fatty, don't go too far."

Niu Pangya stared at Xiao Qing with clicks of the tongue.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling bad? We haven't even become a family yet, and you're already jumping up and down."

As he said this, he pretended to be suddenly enlightened.

"I say, are you guys pretending to be good on the surface, but you're actually having a good time in private?"

Xiao Qing was scolded and his face turned red.

The others felt that Fatty Niu was going too far and were about to dissuade her, but they heard Liu Siyu say.

"My mother is single, and Uncle Xiao is also single. It's OK for the two of them to have that idea. But you, Aunt Niu, are staring at Uncle Xiao like this. Could it be that you also want to remarry?"

"Oh my, I'm afraid your husband and children won't agree. What should I do? Otherwise, you should get a divorce. Only after you become single, you will be qualified to show your courtesy to Uncle Xiao!"

Niu Pangya's face instantly turned the color of liver.

"You, you, you, what are you talking about? When did I start to keep an eye on Xiao the Hunter?"

"If you don't keep thinking about him all the time, how do you know who he is good with and who he is not?"

Liu Siyu flashed her innocent eyes, as if she was very curious.

This caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Niu Pangya felt ashamed and she was also worried because her husband was a well-known petty person.

If her husband heard this, she would probably get very angry with him at home.

He picked up the backpack angrily, ready to pretend to leave at one o'clock.

But Liu Siyu gave a wicked smile and pressed the backpack hard, and a lot of acorns flowed into Xiao Minghu's backpack.

Niu Pangya was so angry that she suddenly grabbed the backpack, shook it and counted it. She felt that at least half of the basket was missing, and her anger rose rapidly.

I originally wanted to get something for nothing, but now I ended up losing more than I gained.

Not only did he not gain any advantage in terms of food, but he also lost a lot of acorns.

Especially the look of everyone trying to hold back their laughter while watching the fun, which added fuel to the fire.

He glared at everyone fiercely and walked down the mountain.

As she walked, Niu Pangya couldn't stop regretting.

The last time I provoked Liu Siyu, I didn't get any advantage and suffered a lot.

Why don’t you learn your lesson?

Why would she have to provoke a girl covered in thorns?

With Niu Pangya as an example, the others who followed her became more self-conscious.

Xiao Minghu's backpack was full in a short while.

When going down the mountain, he put Xiao Qing's things into a sack and tied it to the backpack.

Then he said to Liu Siyu, "Put yours in the sack as well and put it in my backpack."

Liu Siyu looked at her small basket of acorns and shook her head slightly.

"Mine is not necessary. Uncle Xiao probably wants to help my mother!"

After hearing this, Wang's whole face turned red, all the way to her neck.

Xiao Minghu's earlobes were also red and bleeding.
